Agenda packet — Carson City Council, January 20, 2026 (part 2 of 2)

C. Section 4.5 of the Agreement provides that “neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated or encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, without the prior written approval of City.”

D. Absent an amendment, the Agreement does not permit the aforementioned transfer effective as of November 21, 2025, as prior City approval of the transfer was neither sought nor granted. However, the City is amenable to the requested transfer, as is Contractor. Therefore, City and Contractor now see fit to enter into this Amendment No. 1 to add an exception to Section 4.5 of the Agreement to authorize the aforementioned transfer, effective retroactively to November 21, 2025.

E. City and Contractor now further see fit to amend the Agreement to: (1) exercise the City’s first of two one -year options to extend the Term of the Agreement, thereby extending the scheduled expiration date of the Term by one year from February 23, 2026 to February 23, 2027; (2) increase the Contract Sum by $100,000.00 , from $180,000.00 to $280,000.00, to allow Contractor to continue to provide the services at the existing rates of compensation, except for the rates for repairs and diagnostics and mobile service, which will be increased as specified herein, and to account for the City’s anticipated increased need for services during the extension period as a result of the City’s recent addition of two new buses to its fleet; and (3) to reflect the aforementioned authorized transfer.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 23. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Operations Subject: CONSIDER AWARD OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT TO WEST COASTARBORISTS, INC. FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY’S URBAN FORESTRY MASTER PLAN (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
To support the City’s goals related to sustainability, climate adaptation, and the overall look and feel of the community, the City plans to develop an Urban Forestry Master Plan. An Urban Forestry Master Plan is a long- term planning document that helps guide how trees are planted, maintained, and protected throughout the City, including along streets, in parks, and in other public spaces. The plan helps the City improve shade, air quality, heat reduction, and neighborhood appearance, while also planning for long-term maintenance and costs. In 2023, the City was awarded a $1,000,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to support this effort. At its August 6, 2024, meeting, the City Council approved a sub-award agreement with GreenLatinos, the USDA’s national pass-through partner, and formally accepted the grant funds.

To prepare the Urban Forestry Master Plan, City staff issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-037, which is a competitive process used by the City to solicit qualifications and cost proposals from firms with expertise in urban forestry planning. After reviewing the proposals received, West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) was determined to be the most qualified firm based on experience, technical expertise, and understanding of the City’s needs. Staff is now requesting City Council approval of the proposed Professional Services Agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $170,800.00. This agreement will allow WCA to work with City staff and the community to develop the Urban Forestry Master Plan in accordance with the grant requirements and City objectives.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE and AWARD the proposed Professional Services Contract with West Coast Arborists, Inc. to develop the City’s Urban Forestry Master Plan, in an amount not to exceed $170,800; and,

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the contract, following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. REJECT all proposals received in response to the Request for Proposals;

2. DO NOT AWARD the proposed contract to West Coast Arborists, Inc. for development of the Urban Forestry Master Plan

3. TAKE any other action the City Council determines is appropriate and consistent with applicable laws.

IV. BACKGROUND
In 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), through its Urban and Community Forestry Program and funding provided by the Inflation Reduction Act, awarded $1 billion nationwide to help communities expand tree coverage, improve access to green spaces, and increase resilience to climate change. These funds are intended to help cities reduce extreme heat, improve air quality, and support healthier neighborhoods.

The City of Carson was selected as a grant recipient and awarded $1,000,000. The USDA designated GreenLatinos as its national pass-through partner, meaning GreenLatinos is responsible for distributing grant funds to cities and overseeing program compliance. At its August 13, 2024, meeting, the City Council approved the Sub- award Agreement with GreenLatinos, allowing the City to formally receive and use the grant funds. The City plans to use this funding to develop and administer an Urban Forestry Master Plan (UFMP). An Urban Forestry Master Plan is a long-range planning document that guides how trees are planted, maintained, and managed throughout the City over time. The UFMP has been incorporated into the City’s Capital Improvement Program as PW1793 - Urban Forestry Master Plan & Implementation. The UFMP will help strengthen the City’s “urban forest” i.e., all trees located along streets, in parks, and in other public areas, and is expected to provide multiple community benefits, including:

Improved air quality
Reduced heat and better shade in neighborhoods
Positive impacts on public health and mental wellness
Lower energy use by reducing the need for air conditioning To prepare this plan, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-037, which is a competitive process used to invite qualified firms to submit proposals. The RFP sought a consultant to develop a comprehensive 40-year Urban Forestry Master Plan. The solicitation was advertised on PlanetBids and in the Daily Journal from August 28, 2025, through September 25, 2025. Three firms submitted proposals in response.

A selection committee composed of senior-level City tree crew staff reviewed and evaluated all proposals. Each proposal was assessed based on the firm’s qualifications, relevant experience, proposed costs, and demonstrated understanding of the City’s needs. The table below summarizes the vendors considered, along with their proposed costs and overall rankings.

VENDOR PROPOSED COSTS AVERAGE SCORE
Dudek $226,140 79
SWA Group $250,000 71.5
West Coast Arborists $170,800 91
Following this evaluation, West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) was determined to be the most qualified firm to develop the City’s UFMP. West Coast Arborists, Inc. has over 53 years of experience and currently provides urban forestry services to more than 350 local municipalities in California and Arizona. The firm holds multiple specialized licenses related to tree services, landscaping, and traffic control, and employs more than 100 certified arborists, as recognized by the International Society of Arboriculture.

Consequently, staff is requesting City Council approval of the proposed Professional Services Agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $170,800. Approval of this agreement will allow the City to move forward with development of the Urban Forestry Master Plan using grant funding already awarded to the City.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The City entered into a Sub-award Agreement with GreenLatinos, which allows the City to be reimbursed for eligible expenses using USDA grant funds, up to a total amount of $1,000,000. Under the terms of this grant, costs associated with hiring a consultant to develop the City’s Urban Forestry Master Plan (UFMP) are considered eligible and reimbursable expenses. The proposed agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) has a not-to- exceed amount of $170,800. If the City Council approves the agreement, the entire cost will be paid using USDA grant funds, and no General Fund dollars will be required. These expenses will be tracked and reimbursed through the City’s Capital Improvement Program project PW1793 - Urban Forestry Master Plan & Implementation, using the designated project expense account.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 24. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW {{division}} Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF LETTER OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON ANDTHE LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (LACMTA) FOR THE AVALONBOULEVARD FIRST/LAST MILE RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS (RCN) PROJECTRELATED TO THE 2028 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to approve a Letter of Agreement (LOA) between the City of Carson and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) that outlines how the two agencies will work together to design and construct transportation and streetscape improvements along Avalon Boulevard between 184th Street and Del Amo Boulevard. These improvements are part of a larger, federally funded program tied to preparations for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The agreement establishes clear roles, responsibilities, timelines, and reimbursement procedures, and ensures the City can participate in and inﬂuence the project while being reimbursed for eligible staff costs.

II. RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE the proposed Letter of Agreement between the City of Carson and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) for the Avalon Boulevard First/Last Mile Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods Project, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. CONTINUE the item to a future meeting to request additional information or clariﬁcation.

2. DECLINE to approve the proposed Letter of Agreement.

3. TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate and consistent with applicable law.

IV. BACKGROUND
In preparation for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, LACMTA is implementing a region-wide set of transportation improvements known as the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods (RCN) Project. The RCN Project includes improvements such as bus priority lanes, pedestrian and bicycle enhancements, mobility hubs, and other public right-of-way upgrades designed to improve safety, access, and connectivity. The RCN Project is funded through a federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

LACMTA received the grant funding and is coordinating with cities across Los Angeles County to deliver local projects.

Within the City of Carson, the planned improvements are focused along Avalon Boulevard, which is one of the City’s major north-south streets. This portion of the work is referred to as the Avalon Boulevard First/Last Mile Project. “First/Last Mile” improvements are designed to make it easier, safer, and more comfortable for people to travel between their homes, businesses, and transit stops, such as bus stops or mobility hubs. These improvements are especially important for pedestrians, bicyclists, seniors, and people with disabilities.

The project includes a variety of street, sidewalk, and safety improvements, such as: sidewalk and walkway upgrades to meet current ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards, which ensure accessibility for people with disabilities – this includes installing ADA-compliant curb ramps at all intersections and mid-block crossings; buffered bicycle lanes, where space allows, to provide additional separation between bicyclists and vehicle traffic; traffic calming measures to improve safety, including narrowing vehicle travel lanes to help reduce speeding; curb extensions (also known as “bulb-outs”) at select locations, which shorten crossing distances for pedestrians and improve visibility at intersections; curb and gutter replacement in areas where water tends to collect, helping improve storm drainage and reduce standing water; utility coordination, including adjusting or relocating utility covers, vaults, or lines when they conflict with new sidewalks or bicycle facilities; intersection improvements, such as traffic signal upgrades, new or enhanced crosswalks, and signal timing changes that better prioritize pedestrians and bicyclists; and, accessible pedestrian features, including ADA-compliant push buttons with audible signals to assist people with visual impairments when crossing the street. Together, these improvements are intended to enhance safety, accessibility, and overall mobility along Avalon Boulevard for residents, visitors, and transit users.

With that said, the purpose of the proposed Letter of Agreement is to clearly define:

How the City and LACMTA will coordinate on design and construction How City standards will be incorporated into the project How City staff time and costs will be reimbursed using federal funds How issues will be resolved to avoid delays
How completed improvements will be accepted and maintained Under the agreement, LACMTA will be responsible for most design, engineering, construction, contractor procurement, and public outreach. The City will provide plan review, coordination, inspections, and final acceptance of the improvements. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2027 and be completed by December 31, 2027. The agreement also establishes structured processes for project meetings, issue resolution, work orders, reimbursement requests, environmental compliance, public notifications, and long-term maintenance responsibilities.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this Letter of Agreement does not result in a direct cost to the City’s General Fund. City costs associated with staff time for plan review, coordination, inspections, and project administration are eligible for reimbursement through the federal RCN grant, provided the work is pre-authorized through annual work plans and work orders; and, properly documented and invoiced in accordance with the agreement. The agreement includes safeguards to ensure the City is reimbursed for eligible costs and requires LACMTA approval before work is performed.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 25. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A PROJECT EXPENSE INCREASE AND AUTHORIZATION OF AFUNDING TRANSFER FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1368 – CARRIAGE CREST PARKEXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENTS, AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-011 AMENDING THE FY 2025-26 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On October 1, 2024, the City Council approved a construction contract with Urban Habitat for the Carriage Crest Park Expansion and Improvements Project (CIP No. 1368). This project includes expanding the park and making infrastructure upgrades designed to improve public safety, accessibility, and overall park operations for the community.

As construction has moved forward, the City’s Public Safety Department identified additional work that should be completed now to support the future installation of security cameras at the park. These cameras, commonly referred to as a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system, help deter crime and improve safety by allowing areas of the park to be monitored. While the cameras themselves are not being installed at this time, the electrical wiring and underground conduit (protective piping) needed to support the cameras in the future were not included in the original construction contract. Completing this infrastructure work now, while the park is already under construction, will avoid the need to tear up completed areas later and will reduce future costs and disruption to the public.

To address this additional work, staff is requesting that the City Council approve an increase to the project expense account in an amount not to exceed $300,000. This funding would cover the cost of installing the required electrical and conduit infrastructure, along with a reasonable contingency to address any camera-related support needs that may arise during construction. The funding for this work has already been identified within existing City budgets. A separate resolution (Resolution No. 26-011) is being presented this evening to formally authorize the transfer of funds between existing budget accounts. No new or additional funding is being requested from the City Council.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE an increase to the project expense account in an amount not to exceed $300,000 for Capital Improvement Project No. 1368 - Carriage Crest Park Expansion and Improvements, to fund additional work associated with installing underground electrical and conduit infrastructure needed to support a future closed- circuit television (CCTV) camera system; and,

2. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-011, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARSON CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS" to transfer funds from account 101-80-820-101-6004 to account 101-99-999-904-8008 to fully fund the proposed increase to the project expense account.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate and consistent with applicable law.

IV. BACKGROUND
The Carriage Crest Park Expansion and Improvements Project (CIP No. 1368) is part of the City’s ongoing effort to improve neighborhood parks and recreational spaces for the community. The project includes expanding the park and adding new amenities, upgraded lighting, landscaping, concrete walkways, turf areas, and parking lot improvements. Together, these improvements are intended to create a safer, more accessible, and more functional public space for residents and visitors.

On October 1, 2024, the City Council approved a construction contract with Urban Habitat to complete this project.

As construction has progressed, the City’s Public Safety staff identified an additional need related to future park safety. Specifically, they determined that underground electrical wiring and fiber conduit (protective piping for cables) should be installed now to support a future closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera system. CCTV cameras are commonly used in public spaces to help deter crime and improve safety. This infrastructure was not included in the original construction scope.

Because final ground and surface work has not yet been completed, this additional work can be performed now without damaging or removing improvements that have already been installed. Completing this work during construction is far more practical and cost-effective than waiting until the project is finished. If the conduit and electrical infrastructure were installed later, the City would need to cut into newly completed turf, concrete walkways, and parking lot pavement. This would require additional construction, repairs, and restoration, increasing costs and disrupting park operations. It could also affect the long-term durability of the new surfaces and would require bringing construction crews back to the site; work that can be avoided by acting now.

To reduce future disruption, control costs, and improve overall efficiency, staff recommends installing the electrical and fiber conduit infrastructure at this time while construction is still underway. This approach allows the work to be coordinated with other underground improvements, protects newly built park features, and ensures the park is ready for future camera installation without additional excavation.

As a result, staff recommends that the City Council approve an increase of $300,000 to the project expense account to fund the additional electrical and conduit infrastructure needed to support future CCTV cameras. This action will allow the City to proactively address public safety needs, protect recent investments in the park, and avoid higher costs and disruptions in the future.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, $300,000 will be transferred from the General Fund - Professional Services (On-Call) account (101-80- 820-101-6004) to the Carriage Crest Park Expansion and Improvements Project (CIP No. PW1368) account (101- 99-999-904-8008). This transfer will be formally authorized through Resolution No. 26-011.

CONSENT 26. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Gary Carter, Director, Information Technology and Security ITS Administration Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 26-010, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OFTHE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN INTERFUND LOAN FROM THE GENERAL FUND TOTHE COMMUNITY BROADBAND CAPITAL OUTLAY ENTERPRISE FUND IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED$27,000,000 TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR PHASE I OF A CITYWIDE MUNICIPAL FIBER OPTIC NETWORK,AUTHORIZING REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENDITURES FROM FUTURE TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS, ANDAUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION AND EXECUTION OF RELATED DOCUMENTS; AND CONSIDERADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 26-012, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON,CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND AND SPECIALREVENUE FUNDS, AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND, SPECIALREVENUE FUNDS, ENTERPRISE FUNDS, AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) FUND. (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
City of Carson's Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I, Project No. PW1797, is included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program. This project is the first phase of the citywide network and includes constructing a fiber network backbone in the public right-of-way on Avalon Blvd and several city streets required to connect City Hall, City Yards Facility, and twelve (12) city parks. The Phase I fiber network backbone project will enhance broadband for city operations and provide business continuity supporting a resilient community, improve the City’s free Wi-Fi services to residents at City parks, deliver a robust network for the city’s public safety cameras, and support the network capacity required for live streaming global events, such as the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics Events. The total amount of the Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I project is $26,919,708.50.

Funding for the Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I project was approved during budget approval for FY2024-25 and FY2025-26 Capital Improvement Project Budgets. Subsequent to the FY2025-26 budget adoption and approval, City staff explored an option to create a Community Broadband Capital Outlay Enterprise Fund to fund Project No. PW1797, via an Interfund Loan from the General Fund to a newly established Community Broadband Capital Outlay Enterprise Fund. This option would allow Project No. PW1797 to proceed without delay, while also ensuring that future dedicated revenues or bond or other obligation proceeds may fully restore the General Fund through Developer Impact Fees, or any other available funding options approved by Council in the future. Considering future Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network project phases, City staff recommends consideration of funding opportunities that may reduce the impact on the City's General Fund budget long-term.

To execute the Interfund Loan Agreement from the City’s General Fund to the Community Broadband Capital Outlay Enterprise Fund, staff is requesting City Council approval of Resolution No. 26-010 (See Exhibit 1).

To execute the required FY2025-26 budget changes for creation of the Community Broadband Capital Outlay Enterprise Fund, complete required budget transfers for the Interfund Loan, and all related budget modifications, staff is requesting City Council approval of Resolution No. 26-012 (See Exhibit 5).

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-010, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN INTERFUND LOAN FROM THE GENERAL FUND

TO THE COMMUNITY BROADBAND CAPITAL OUTLAY ENTERPRISE FUND IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $27,000,000 TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR PHASE I OF A CITYWIDE MUNICIPAL FIBER OPTIC

2. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-012, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET IN THE

GENERAL FUND AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, ENTERPRISE FUNDS, AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) FUND."
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
On March 18, 2025, City Council approved the Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I Project to build a City-owned fiber optic network to connect city facilities to City Hall, Corporate Yards, and all 12 major City Parks.

The twelve (12) city parks that will connect to the fiber network include Anderson Park, Calas Park, Carriage Crest Park, Carson Park, Del Amo Park, Dolphin Park, Dominquez Park, Foisia Park, Mills Memorial Park, Hemingway Park, Stevenson Park, and Veterans Park. The Phase I fiber network backbone project will enhance broadband for city operations and provide business continuity supporting a resilient community, improve the City’s free Wi-Fi services to residents at City parks, deliver a robust network for the city’s public safety cameras, and support the network capacity required for live streaming global events, such as the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics Events.

Funding for the Citywide Municipal Fiber Optic Network Phase I project was approved during budget approval for FY2024-25 and FY2025-26 Capital Improvement Project Budgets. Advancing costs from the City’s General Fund Capital Improvement Program account and providing an interfund loan (“Interfund Loan”) to the Community Broadband Capital Outlay Enterprise Fund to be set up by the City(“Broadband Enterprise Fund”) will allow the Project to proceed without delay, while also ensuring that future dedicated revenues or bond or other obligation proceeds may fully restore the General Fund; and the City intends to undertake an engineering study related to the Project, including potential expansion thereof in future phases (the “Report”), for the purpose of determining the feasibility, eligibility and viability and amount of a potential development impact fee to fund the Project or a portion thereof (a “Broadband Network DIF”); and should a Broadband Network DIF be adopted by the City, it shall be held as part of the funding for the Project in an account in the Broadband Enterprise Fund (the “DIF Account”), with the intent to use the proceeds of the receipt of such fees from developers related to new development to pay for a part of the Project as provided by the Report.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact with this action, as this project was previously approved by the City Council.

This agenda item provides the mechanism for funding, makes the budget transfer, and sets the parameters for collecting fees in the future.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council

SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY 27. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nathan Freeman, Director of Community and Economic Development CD Planning Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AMORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF RESTAURANT DRIVE-THROUGHOPERATIONS FOR A PERIOD OF 45 DAYS (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
A Restaurant Drive-Through Operation is defined as a restaurant that includes a drive-through facility where food or coffee-type beverages are ordered and purchased by motorists who remain in their vehicles. The use includes associated drive-through lanes, queuing areas, ordering points, menu boards, and pick-up windows. This definition applies only to restaurant uses and does not include drive-through facilities accessory to banks, credit unions, pharmacies, or other non-restaurant uses.

The establishment and proliferation of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations without adequate regulation present a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. Such uses can result in adverse impacts related to traffic circulation and congestion, pedestrian and bicycle safety, air quality, noise, land use compatibility, and overall public health.

The City’s zoning regulations and land use plans do not sufficiently regulate the development, establishment, and operation of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations to adequately address these impacts. Absent immediate action, new applications or expansions could be approved under existing regulations that fail to mitigate these concerns.

Adoption of an interim urgency ordinance is therefore necessary to temporarily halt the establishment or expansion of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations while the City evaluates existing conditions and develops comprehensive zoning standards governing their location and operation.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, a city, such as Carson, may adopt an interim zoning ordinance on an urgency basis (“Urgency Ordinance”) to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by temporarily prohibiting uses that the city intends to study within a reasonable period of time. Adoption of an Urgency Ordinance requires a four-fifths vote of the legislative body. Upon adoption, the Urgency Ordinance is effective for a period of 45 days, unless extended prior to expiration.

The proposed Urgency Ordinance would temporarily prohibit the establishment or expansion of Restaurant Drive- Through Operations within the City for an initial 45-day period, during which staff will evaluate permanent zoning regulations for future consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.

If adopted, the City may extend the initial 45-day moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days, and subsequently for one year, following proper public notice and a public hearing. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858(d), a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of the Urgency Ordinance must be prepared and published at least 10 days prior to the ordinance’s expiration or any extension.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Urgency Ordinance No. 26-2602U, "AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE

OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, ENACTED PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858 ESTABLISHING A 45-DAY TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR

EXPANSION OF DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANT OPERATIONS WITHIN CITY LIMITS DURING THE PENDENCY OF THE CITY’S REVIEW AND ADOPTION OF PERMANENT ZONING REGULATIONS FOR SUCH USES," by at least a 4/5ths vote.

DIRECT the City Manager to have the Community and Economic Development Department and Planning Commission review the City's development standards and land use regulations for Drive-Through Restaurants Operations, conduct research on the economics and survey land use regulations, and research development standards for drive-through restaurants in other cities.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE such other action as the City council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Restaurant drive-through operations can generate adverse impacts when not adequately regulated, including:

Concentrated vehicle queuing and idling that impair traffic circulation and may spill into public rights-of-way.

Increased collision risks involving motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

Obstruction of emergency access and on-site circulation.

Noise, lighting, litter, and late-night disturbances near residential and other sensitive land uses.

Increased localized air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions associated with vehicle idling.

Degradation of the pedestrian environment and incompatibility with walkable or mixed-use development objectives.

Land use inefficiencies and reduced economic productivity resulting from auto-oriented site design.

Cumulative impacts from the over-concentration of drive-through uses.

Public health concerns associated with over concentration of fast-food establishments, including childhood obesity.

Under current regulations, a proliferation of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations could occur and result in such impacts. It could also negatively affect the City’s economy by reducing potential revenue and limiting commercially zoned land from supporting higher-intensity employment or other commercial uses that could generate greater long-term fiscal benefits.

The proposed ordinance would temporarily prohibit the establishment of new, as well as the expansion of existing, Restaurant Drive-Through Operations. The moratorium would apply to the approval or issuance of any subdivision, use permit, variance, site plan and design review, development and site plan review, zoning compliance review, grading permit, building permit, or any other entitlement for use involving a Restaurant Drive-Through Operation during the 45-day moratorium period.

The proposed ordinance contains the following exemptions from the proposed urgency moratorium:

Annual business license renewals for existing Restaurant Drive-Through Operations.

Minor construction, rehabilitation, or landscaping that does not expand building area or otherwise increase:

Floor area
Seating capacity
Drive-through capacity
Queuing/stacking length
Intensity of use
Restaurant Drive-Through Operations projects already under construction with a valid building permit.

Restaurant Drive-Through Operations projects that have obtained written administrative Planning approval with written concurrence of the City Manager’s Office, or Planning Commission approval prior to the effective date of the Urgency Ordinance.

Adopting this Ordinance allows time to study and develop the City's laws, rules, procedures, and fees governing Restaurant Drive-Through Operations to enable the City to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

During the moratorium, staff will evaluate issues associated with these uses, including:

Appropriate locations within the City.

Land use definitions and regulations, including zoning districts where such operations are permitted or conditionally permitted.

Development standards and best practices from other jurisdictions to mitigate potential impacts.

Continued approval of entitlements, building permits, or other approvals for new or expanded Restaurant Drive- Through Operations under the City's current zoning ordinance poses a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare. These uses generate significant adverse health, safety and welfare effects that cannot be mitigated under existing regulations.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, a city may adopt an interim ordinance temporarily prohibiting uses that may conflict with a general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal under consideration or study, for the immediate preservation of public health, safety, or welfare. Such an ordinance must include a declaration of facts constituting the urgency and be adopted by not less than a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council.

Environmental Review
The proposed Urgency Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code 21000, et seq., “CEQA”). Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines provides that an activity is a project subject to CEQA when an action has the potential to result in physical changes to the environment, either directly or indirectly. The proposed Urgency Ordinance is not a project subject to CEQA, as it does not have such potential. Additionally, Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines provides that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment and does not apply when it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of such an effect. Here, it can be seen with certainty that the proposed Urgency Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment, as it merely establishes a 45-day moratorium on the establishment or expansion of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations in the City.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

PENDENCY OF THE CITY’S REVIEW AND ADOPTION OF

PERMANENT ZONING REGULATIONS FOR SUCH USES
WHEREAS, the City of Carson (“City”) has the authority, under its police power, to enact regulations for the public peace, morals, and welfare of the City pursuant to California Constitution Article XI, section 7; and
WHEREAS, the City has a compelling interest in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, residents, visitors, and businesses, and in preserving the peace and quiet of the neighborhoods within the City by regulating the establishment and expansion of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations (as defined in this Ordinance below) within City limits; and

WHEREAS, the City is responsible for adopting and implementing land use regulations within its boundaries; and
WHEREAS, Restaurant Drive-Through Operations have potential negative impacts on circulation, traffic, safety, air quality, walkability, quality of life, and effects on public health; and WHEREAS, the vision and goal of the City Council is to adopt policy changes to specifically address the growing needs of the community and to create an environment that offers people options and a variety of choices that promote and encourage healthy behaviors; and WHEREAS, CMC section 9131.1 provides that drive-in or drive-through restaurants are a permitted use in multiple commercial zones including the Commercial, General (CG) zone; and WHEREAS, CMC section 9141.1 provides that any principal use permitted in any commercial zone, whether automatically, with limitation, or by conditional use permit, is automatically permitted in the industrial zones, subject to the same requirements specified for such use in the commercial zones, with certain exemptions that are not relevant here; and WHEREAS, CMC 9212.2 provides that Restaurant with Drive-through uses are permitted with a minor conditional use permit in the Downtown Mixed Use (DMX) zone and permitted with a conditional use permit in the Corridor Mixed Use zone. Gener al regulations for such facilities are set forth in CMC 93129.1-93129.4; and
WHEREAS, the CMC does not sufficiently regulate Restaurant Drive -Through Operations on a consistent basis throughout the City; and

01007.0001 2078998.3
WHEREAS, Restaurant Drive -Through Operations can generate concentrated vehicle queuing, idling, and high-turnover turning movements that impair traffic circulation and increase the risk of collisions involving motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists; obstruct on -site drive aisles and emergency access; and create recurring noise, lighting, litter, and late hour disturbances that are incompatible with nearby residences and other sensitive uses; and WHEREAS, extended idling and stop -and-go conditions associated with Restaurant Drive-Through Operations queues can measurably increase localized air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, undermining adopted public health and environmental objectives, especially in areas already burdened by cumulative impacts; and
WHEREAS, an over concentration of Restaurant Drive -Through Operations exist in pockets throughout the City, which can result in a situation of unhealthy behaviors, because widespread access to fast-food service has been found to contribute to the general rate of childhood obesity and other health problems; and
WHEREAS, the City’s existing development standards for Restaurant Drive -Through Operations are insufficient and, together with the City’s current land use regulations, could result in establishment of drive-through uses that are detrimental to public health, safety, and welfare of nearby residents and businesses and a proliferation or oversaturation of said uses within the City; and
WHEREAS, absent sufficient regulation, the establishment, proliferation and oversaturation of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations in the City poses a threat to the public peace, health, and safety, and, unless the City takes action to regulate, the impacts described above are likely to continue to occur; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to regulate Restaurant Drive-Through Operations to ensure that public rights-of-way and public property remain free of public nuisances, are safe and accessible for all users, are clear of conditions that pose threats to public health, safety, and welfare, to ensure that future development is undertaken in a manner consistent with the City’s General Plan, and to ensure that Restaurant Drive-Through Operations comply with State and City regulations that inure to the public’s health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, the City anticipates that Restaurant Drive -Through Operators, as defined below, may seek to establish additional drive-throughs, or desire to expand existing Restaurant Drive-Through Operations before a non-urgency ordinance would become effective; and WHEREAS, City Charter Section 313 and Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorize the City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, and to prohibit a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission , or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time; and WHEREAS, City staff require time to study and develop appropriate regulations for Restaurant Drive-Through Operations consistent with State and federal law; and

01007.0001 2078998.3
WHEREAS, pursuant to the above -described express statutory authority and its police power, the City Council desires, on an interim urgency basis, to temporarily prohibit establishment of new, or expansion of existing, Restaurant Drive-Through Operations within the City.

WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. FINDINGS
The City Council finds the facts set forth in the recitals in this Urgency Ordinance are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by reference. Additionally, based on the foregoing, both verbal and written testimony at the public hearing, including the staff report, exhibits, and any materials provided by members of the public, the City Council finds as follows:

A. The City Council is adopting t his Ordinance in order to allow the City time to thoroughly study and develop the City’s laws, rules, procedures , and fees related to the development, operation and establishment of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations to enable the City of Carson (hereafter, the “City”) to adequately and appropriately preserve the health, safety , and welfare of the community in the City.

B. For the purposes of this Ordinance, a “Restaurant Drive -Through Operation ” includes all restaurants with a drive -through facility where food or coffee -type beverages are purchased by motorists who remain in their vehicles during the sales transaction, including drive- up service, and that is designed to enable persons to receive a service or purchase or consum e goods while remaining within a motor vehicle, including any associated drive -through lane(s), queuing/stacking areas, ordering points/menu boards, and pick-up windows. The term “Restaurant Drive Through Operation” does not include drive -through facilities associated with banks, credit unions, pharmacies, or other non-restaurant uses.

C. For purposes of this Ordinance, “ Restaurant Drive-Through Operator” shall mean a person that owns, manages, and/or operates a Restaurant Drive-Through Operation, whether for profit or not.

D. The City finds that in the absence of a sufficient regulatory framework to govern Restaurant Drive-Through Operations, the adverse impacts frequently associated with Restaurant Drive-Through Operations likely will occur, resulting in unregulated and significant negative impacts upon the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.

E. The City finds that the adverse impacts from Restaurant Drive-Through Operations include the following:
(1) The establishment and proliferation of Restaurant Drive -Through Operations throughout the City without sufficient regulation presents a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare.

involving motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists; obstruct on-site drive aisles and emergency access; and create recurring noise, lighting, litter, and late hour disturbances that are incompatible with nearby residences and other sensitive uses; and
(2) Extended idling and stop -and-go conditions associated with Restaurant Drive - Through Operations queues can measurably increase localized air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, undermining adopted public health and environmental objectives, especially in areas already burdened by cumulative impacts; and
(3) Widespread and unregulated access to fast -food service has been found to contribute to the general rate of childhood obesity and other health problems; and F. The City also finds that Restaurant Drive -Through Operations could have a negative economic impact for the City absent sufficient regulation, as follows:
(1) The use may result in inefficient utilization of commercially zoned land that could otherwise support higher-intensity employment-generating uses; and (2) The continued establishment of new Restaurant Drive -Through Operations may displace other commercial, or employment uses that could generate greater long -term fiscal and economic impacts to the City.

G. The City needs time to draft a proposed text amendment to the Zoning Code to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community in the City with respect to the operation of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations.

SECTION 2. CEQA COMPLIANCE
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines ("CEQA," California Code of Regulations Title 14, §§ 15000 et seq.), this Interim Urgency Ordinance is exempt from CEQA based on the following: (i) this Interim Urgency Ordinance is not a “project” within the meaning of CEQA Section 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly; and (ii) this Interim Urgency Ordinance is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) because it merely establishes a 45-day temporary moratorium on the establishment and expansion of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations, and thus it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 3. AUTHORITY AND EFFECT
The State Planning and Zoning Law (Cal. Gov’t Code Sections 65000, et seq.) and the City’s Charter broadly empower the City to plan for and regulate the use of land in order to provide for orderly development, the public health safety and welfare, and a balancing of property rights and the desires of the community and the manner in which its citizens envision their city.

SECTION 4. MORATORIUM

01007.0001 2078998.3
A. During the Effective Period of this Ordinance (forty-five (45) days unless extended pursuant to Government Code Section 65858) , no permit shall be issued for any development or use of any new Restaurant Drive-Through Operation, nor may a permit be issued for the expansion of an existing Restaurant Drive-Through Operation, within the City. The foregoing shall explicitly prohibit the approval or issuance of any subdivision, use permit, variance, site plan and design review, development and site plan review, zoning compliance review, grading permit, building permit, or any other entitlement for use involving businesses defined as a Restaurant Drive - Through Operation herein during the Effective Period.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any existing Restaurant Drive-Through Operation shall be allowed to obtain their annual City business license. Additionally, permits may be issued for minor construction, rehabilitation , and landscaping , or other purposes not involving an expansion of building area , provided such work does not increase floor area, seating capacity, drive-through capacity, queuing length, or intensity of use . Any Restaurant Drive -Through Operations under construction with a valid building p ermit, any Restaurant Drive -Through Operations that obtained administrative Planning approval with the concurrence of the City Manager’s office or any Restaurant Drive -Through Operation approved by the Planning Commission as of the effective date of this Urgency Ordinance shall be exempt from this Urgency Ordinance.

SECTION 5. STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT
During the Effective Period of this Ordinance, the City shall study and develop as necessary City laws, rules, procedures , and fees related to Restaurant Drive-Through Operations to enable the City to adequately and appropriately preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community in the City. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the Planning Manager will issue a report for the legislative body on what has been accomplished during the moratorium before it expires or is extended.

SECTION 6. URGENCY MEASURE
It is hereby declared that this Ordinance is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, safety, and welfare. The City Council finds that its current zoning regulations and land use plans do not adequately regulate the development, establishment and operation of Restaurant Drive -Through Operations, and therefore do not adequately protect the peace, health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the City or in communities around the City. The City Council finds the urgency measure is necessary in order to ensure adequate regulation of the development and operation of Restaurant Drive -Through Operations. The facts constituting the urgency are:

The City does not currently have sufficient standards in the Carson Municipal Code related specifically to the development, establishment, expansion and operation of Restaurant Drive - Through Operations within the City.

The negative impacts frequently associated with operation of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations will likely increase as insufficiently regulated Restaurant Drive-Through Operations

01007.0001 2078998.3
continue to proliferate throughout the City, resulting in a significant negative impact upon public health, safety, and welfare of the community.

To permit the establishment and proliferation of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations to continue within the City without specific regulations that are consistent with the General Plan and take into account the detrimental impacts that such establishments can have if not sufficiently regulated, constitutes a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare.

Restaurant Drive -Through Operations generate undesirable conditions for adjacent properties .

Examples of common impacts generated by these uses include concentrated vehicle queuing, idling, and high turnover turning movements that impair traffic circulation and increase the risk of collisions involving motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists; obstruct on -site drive aisles and emergency access; and create recurring noise, lighting, litter, and late hour disturbances that are incompatible with nearby residences and other sensitive uses. These impacts can be detrimental to the quality of life for adjacent residents and disruptive to adjacent businesses. Allowing the continued establishment of Restaurant Drive -Through Operations without carefully tailored regulations will result in the immediate potential for disruptions to the quality of life for adjacent residents and businesses.

Restaurant Drive -Through Operations in the community can result in loss of potential revenue to the City and provide the City with little economic benefit , as typical wages paid at Restaurant Drive -Through Operations would not increase the City’s overall median incomes.

Restaurant Drive -Through Operations therefore would not bolster employee densities in commercial and manufacturing zones or increase the per capita median income of the community.

Allowing the continue d, minimally regulated establishment of Restaurant Drive -Through Operations under the existing zoning ordinance will result in the immediate loss of potential income to City residents and reduce potential employment opportunities throughout the City.

Restaurant Drive-Through Operators are likely to seek to establish or expand Restaurant Drive-Through Operations in the City based on the lack of clear and sufficient regulations, which will further exacerbate the impacts of such businesses.

Absent the adoption of this Interim Urgency Ordinance, the continued establishment and proliferation of Restaurant Drive -Through Operations in the City under the current zoning ordinance would likely result in the negative and harmful secondary effects, as identified above.

As a result of the negative and harmful secondary effects associated with insufficiently regulated development and operation of Restaurant Drive-Through Operations, the current and immediate threat such effects pose to the public health, safety and welfare, it is necessary to adopt a temporary, forty -five (45) day moratorium on the establishment of new Restaurant Drive - Through Operations and the expansion of existing Restaurant Drive-Through Operations in the City.

A moratorium is immediately required to preserve the public health, safety , and welfare and should be adopted immediately as an urgency ordinance to make certain that the establishment and expansion of Restaurant Drive -Through Operations is prohibited for the period of this Ordinance. Imposition of a moratorium will allow the City sufficient time to conclude the preparation of a comprehensive ordinance for the regulation of such activities.

01007.0001 2078998.3
SECTION 7. SEVERABILITY
The City Council hereby declares that if any provision, section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is rendered or declared invalid or unconstitutional by any final action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, then the City Council would have independently adopted the remaining provisi ons, sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, phrases , or words of this Ordinance , and as such they shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 8. EFFECTIVENESS OF ORDINANCE.

This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by a 4/5 vote, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council by City Charter Section 313 and Government Code Section 65858. This Ordinance shall be effective during the Effective Period, which shall be from its adoption and shall be of no further force and effect forty -five (45) days following the date of its adoption, unless extended in accordance with the provisions set forth in Government Code Section 65858(b).

SECTION 9. PUBLICATION
The City Clerk shall certify as to the passage and adoption of this Interim Urgency Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published in a manner prescribed by law. [SIGNATURES LOCATED ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE]

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
DISCUSSION 28. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Arminé Chaparyan, Deputy City Manager CMO {{division}} Subject: CONSIDER AN INFORMATIONAL UPDATE ON THE CITY OF CARSON STRATEGIC PLAN FORTHE 2028 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES AND ON THE CITY'S PREPARATIONS TO DATE (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson is honored to have been officially designated as a Venue City for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This designation builds upon Carson's proud Olympic legacy, as the City previously served as a Venue City during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

The 2028 Olympic Games are scheduled to commence on July 14, 2028, followed by the Paralympic Games, which will open on August 15, 2028. During the Games period, Carson is anticipated to host five Olympic and three Paralympic sports at Dignity Health Sports Park, which will be officially known as Carson Sports Park during the Games. Currently anticipated Olympic events include field hockey, archery, rugby sevens, tennis, and track cycling, while anticipated Paralympic events include para archery, wheelchair tennis, and para track cycling. These events are provided for reference purposes and remain subject to change as Games planning continues. All events will conclude on August 27, 2028.

This report transmits the completed City of Carson Strategic Plan for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (the “Strategic Plan”), prepared by KPMG in collaboration with the City of Carson team. In addition, staff is providing an update on the City’s preparations to date for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (the “2028 Games”).

At its May 6, 2025 meeting, the City Council approved the award of a professional services agreement for KPMG to provide strategic planning services in preparation for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the City’s role as a Venue City. Retaining a professional consultant is intended to ensure the City is well positioned to maximize the economic and community benefits associated with the Games; to equip the City with the tools, resources, and strategic guidance necessary for effective planning and implementation; and to support the delivery of a world- class experience for residents and visitors during this historic global event. KPMG is a global consulting firm with extensive experience across multiple sectors and a proven track record of supporting government agencies and private-sector organizations in preparations for prior Olympic Games. KPMG was selected to develop the Carson Strategic Plan based on its engagement in providing strategic planning services to the Cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach as part of their respective 2028 Games preparations. Through this partnership, the City aims to leverage the same level of expertise and best practices being applied by these other major cities. The completed Strategic Plan is provided for City Council reference as Exhibit 1.

The Strategic Plan is intended to equip the City with the tools, resources, and guidance necessary to support the successful planning and implementation of the Games within Carson. To date, the City has been deeply engaged in this planning process and has achieved several significant milestones. These include bringing the Olympic spirit home to Carson in summer 2025 by co-hosting the Official Day of Sport with LA28 at Carson Park, engaging local children and families and celebrating the Games within the community; and advancing interagency coordination through participation in more than twenty meetings in 2025 with key 2028 Games stakeholders, including LA28, Dignity Health Sports Park, Los Angeles County leadership, public safety partners, and federal agencies.

Through these efforts, the City has laid and continues to build a strong foundation to welcome the world to Carson and to identify meaningful experiences and unique opportunities to showcase the City during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as discussed in further detail below.

II. RECOMMENDATION

1. RECEIVE and FILE this informational update to the City Council.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate and that is consistent with applicable laws.

IV. BACKGROUND
The proposed Strategic Plan provides a roadmap for the City’s planning and preparation for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Plan focuses on critical near-term actions, recognizing that early decisions will shape more detailed and complex efforts as the Games approach. Core components of the Strategic Plan include:

An assessment of the City of Carson’s prior experience as an Olympic venue, including existing agreements and commitments;
Clearly defined strategic objectives and recommended activities; A phased planning framework encompassing foundational planning, operational planning, readiness, Games- time operations, and post-Games dissolution;
A communications and engagement strategy for stakeholders, partners, and the community; An approach to community-based legacy initiatives extending beyond the Games period; and An overview of financial considerations.

Across these areas, KPMG provided best practices for Games planning and identified options and key considerations tailored to the City of Carson as preparations advance toward 2028.

The City’s overarching objectives for the 2028 Games are to: protect and support residents and businesses by prioritizing public safety, mobility, and continuity of daily life; implement the Strategic Plan through coordinated, citywide action; strengthen partnerships and coordination with LA28, venue operators, neighboring cities, Los Angeles County, regional agencies, and federal partners; elevate Carson as a premier Venue City through engaging events and community experiences; maximize economic and long-term benefits for local businesses, workforce development, and tourism; and showcase Carson on the world stage as a regional leader and the “Jewel of the South Bay.”
To implement the Strategic Plan, the City will establish an internal organizational structure focused on the delivery of City services during the Games. This structure will include a citywide internal Steering Committee comprised of approximately 40 key staff members, supported by functional subcommittees addressing: Public Safety; Transportation and Circulation; External Relations, Partnerships, and Sponsorships; Communications, Resident and Stakeholder Outreach, Branding, and Marketing; Economic Development, Business Relations, and Planning; and Events, Logistics, and Operations. An External Advisory Committee will also be established in Spring 2026, consisting of representatives from key community organizations, businesses, educational institutions, and California State University, Dominguez Hills, to provide guidance on community priorities and visitor experiences.

These efforts will all be operationalized and managed by the City Manager's Office.

Consistent with these objectives and in coordination with regional and interagency partners, the City is planning a signature outdoor festival-style event intended to deliver a world-class experience for residents and visitors during the course of the Olympics. This event is envisioned to include live music, food, public viewing of Games competitions, and participation by local and regional vendors. The City is also exploring partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions and public agencies to support logistics, public safety, transportation, and operational needs associated with these initiatives. Staff is currently coordinating with LA28, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles County departments, and federal public safety partners to evaluate the event footprint and operational requirements. In addition, the City is exploring smaller-scale programming within each City Council District, with an emphasis on celebrating the unique cultural identities of each district.

Immediate implementation priorities for the City include:

Launching a comprehensive City website dedicated to the 2028 Games to serve as a centralized hub for information, volunteer registration, and public engagement opportunities; Developing a digital countdown clock for the City website to build community awareness and anticipation for the Games; and
Planning and installing a physical outdoor countdown signage, anticipated to be unveiled in Summer 2026, to further promote community excitement.

Additionally, in preparation for the forthcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup in the Los Angeles region, the City is also pursuing:

Leveraging regional activities associated with the 2026 FIFA World Cup as part of the broader lead-up to the 2028 Games;
Coordinating with the Los Angeles County Sports and Entertainment Commission and other regional partners to explore FIFA-related events in Carson;
Considering at least one public FIFA World Cup watch party at the City Event Center Amphitheater; and Using FIFA-related events to enhance Carson’s global visibility and to pilot interagency coordination, logistics, and event concepts in advance of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
City staff is currently developing projected costs for comprehensive City programming associated with the 2028 Games and will return to the City Council at a future meeting for consideration. The proposed program will identify all anticipated City costs, including those related to events and programming, and will include corresponding cost estimates as well as potential revenue opportunities for the City. In addition to costs for events and programming, other costs are anticipated to include transportation and circulation, external relations programs such as partnerships with foreign governments to host delegations, resident and stakeholder outreach, as well as branding and marketing, economic development initiatives, and business relations activities.

The City should proceed under the assumption that LA28 will fund costs directly related to the Games themselves, while the City will remain responsible for its baseline municipal operations and that any services, programs, or activities exceeding normal service levels, including City-sponsored special events and related operational costs, will be fully funded by the City.

To mitigate these expenses, the City will pursue a multi-pronged cost offset strategy, including reimbursement from LA28 for eligible “enhanced City resources,” external grants, fundraising, strategic partnerships, and direct revenue generation. Successful implementation of this approach will require clearly defining baseline service levels, closely tracking incremental costs, and proactively leveraging revenue opportunities such as managed parking, facility rentals, permits, and in-kind partnerships among others.

1 Introduction
The City of Carson: A Proud Partner in the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games The City of Carson is honored to have been officially designated as a Venue City for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games by the Los Angeles Organizing Committee (LA28). This selection continues Carson's proud legacy of Olympic partnership, having previously served as a Venue City during the well-remembered, 1984 Los Angeles Games.

The LA28 Olympic Games will commence on July 14, 2028, followed by the Paralympic Games, which will open on August 15, 2028. Carson will host a minimum of five Olympic and three Paralympic sports within the Dignity Health Sports Park, which will be referred to as the Carson Sports Park during the Games period. This is a world- class venue located within the heart of the City of Carson.

As it prepares for its role as a venue city, Carson has made a commitment to delivering a world-class experience that creates lasting value for its community. The City of Carson is dedicated to:
• Ensuring a Safe and Seamless Experience: Collaborating closely with all partners to facilitate a secure, well-planned, and organized environment for athletes, officials, residents, and visitors. • Showcasing Carson to the World: The Games offer an unparalleled opportunity to introduce a global audience to the vibrant arts, diverse culture, and dynamic businesses that define the city. • Creating a Lasting Community Legacy: The City of Carson is focused on maximizing this opportunity to ensure their citizens can actively engage with the Olympic and Paralympic spirit and that the community realizes enduring social, economic, and cultural benefits long after the closing ceremonies.

As a Venue City, the City of Carson holds a distinct and vital role in collaboration with the Host City, the City of Los Angeles, and the LA28 organizing committee. While LA28 is responsible for the overall planning and execution of the Games, the design and delivery of events in Carson will be managed through a close, consultative partnership with City leadership, Los Angeles County, Dignity Health Sports Park and California State University Dominguez Hills.

The successful staging of the Games is a collective effort involving several key governing bodies:
• The International Olympic & Paralympic Committees (IOC & IPC): These international non-governmental organizations are the highest authorities of the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, respectively. • The LA28 Organizing Committee (OCOG): As the official organizing entity, LA28 is responsible for the preparation, financing, and staging of the 2028 Games.
• The Host City (City of Los Angeles): Selected by the IOC, the City of Los Angeles holds the primary contract to host the 2028 Games, supported by financial guarantees from both the City and the State of California.
• Venue Cities (City of Carson): Partners like Carson provide the essential world-class venues and local support required to host specific sporting events, contributing significantly to the overall success of the Games.

Carson’s Core Municipal Responsibilities:
• Public Safety: The City of Carson and Los Angeles County will continue to manage policing and security for all residents and local activities city-wide, focusing on areas outside the official LA28 venues. • Public Health & Sanitation: The City of Carson and Los Angeles County will oversee and scale city-wide public health and sanitation services to effectively manage the needs of a larger visitor population. • Commercial Regulation: The City of Carson handles all local zoning, permits, and business licenses for commercial activities, including food trucks and temporary vendors, operating outside the official Games footprint. The City will also track the L.A. city ordinance process and mirror ours to match when it comes to permitting and temporary activations and activities.
• Local Transportation & Crowd Control: The City of Carson, in collaboration with the County of Los Angeles and LA Metro, will develop and execute plans to manage traffic, parking, and pedestrian flow on city streets and in areas not under LA28's direct control.
• Parking Management: Carson must implement a comprehensive parking strategy to address the needs of residents, local businesses, and the influx of visitors. This includes close collaboration with City of Long Beach Transportation
• City Appearance & Navigation: The City will have an opportunity to Invest in city beautification and install supplementary "wayfinding" signage to enhance Carson's aesthetic and help guide visitors throughout the community.
• Official Protocol: City Leadership will establish and manage official protocols for welcoming and hosting visiting dignitaries, athletic delegations, and other official guests to the City of Carson. • Community Communications: The City of Carson’s press and communication groups’ efforts will amplify Games-related news and create original media content to engage residents and document Carson's unique role in the LA28 legacy.

1.1. Purpose
The City of Carson contracted with KPMG to support its preparation, planning and resource allocation for the 2028 Games. As part of this effort, KPMG assisted the City with planning for large Citywide and multi-stakeholder projects. In addition to the strategic discussions and advisory services, KPMG has provided the deliverables included herein including action plans, milestones/goals, timelines, and other key planning artifacts.

The purpose of this document is to align all deliverables into a strategic roadmap which the City can use to further its strategic discussions with partner stakeholders, as well as plan for its operational readiness and resourcing needs.

Recognizing these essential points of connection, this plan focuses on major aspects of the Games planning lifecycle to ensure that the City can engage in the right discussions, activities, and operations in the appropriate time frame and with appropriate resources. This document is intended to serve as a roadmap and should be referenced as a living document to be supplemented and revised as key decisions are made.

1.2 Scope
In providing a roadmap for the City’s Games planning for the coming years, this document focuses on essential near-term items, understanding that early decisions will help give shape to more concrete efforts in the longer term. These core considerations include:
• Understanding the history of Carson’s previous experience as an Olympic Games1 venue site, as well as the status of its current agreements and commitments.
• An outline of strategic objectives and activities.

1 The Olympic Games and Paralympic Games were held in different cities until the Seoul 1988 Olympic (Summer) Games and Albertville 1992 Olympic Winter Games, when the two Games came together, with the Paralympics taking place shortly after the Olympic Games in the same venues.

• A strategic roadmap which covers the foundational planning, operational planning, readiness, Games operations and dissolution phases.
• A communication plan for engaging stakeholders, partners, and other interested parties, including engaging in community outreach.
• An approach to community-based legacy activities to extend beyond the period of the Games; and • An overview of financial considerations
Across these areas, we have provided background considerations related to Games planning generally, as well as options and key considerations for the City of Carson as planning efforts increase in depth looking ahead to 2028.

1.3 Methodology
In engaging Carson on these essential questions, we have taken an approach that prioritizes strong coordination among stakeholders, disciplined project management, and alignment with the City’s needs and requirements.

This document was developed through three phases of activity:

Phase 1
Planning
This initial phase included the identification of stakeholders, a kick-off meeting, alignment with Carson on planning status and goals for the engagement, as well as the development of an initial data request. The KPMG team reviewed a range of documentation – including, for example, governance structures, agreements, LA28 planning material, and IOC requirements – to develop an understanding of current state and help guide further work.

Phase 2
Field work
An essential input to the strategic planning framework was a series of stakeholder interviews with Carson staff. These discussions helped the KPMG team understand the City’s vision and goals for the 2028 Games, identify needs and dependencies for the planning process, and develop a strategic framework responsive to the unique opportunities of Carson as a Venue City. Over 60 individuals were interviewed, representing at least 17 City offices. Phase 2 also included workshops designed to share and refine initial findings.

Phase 3
Drafting and
finalization
Drafting and finalization. Drawing on the work from Phases 1 and 2, the team drafted and finalized the set of deliverables represented here.

2 City of Carson and the 2028 Games

2.1 The Carson Olympic Connection
The City of Carson has a proud connection with the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

In 1984, when Los Angeles staged the 1984 Olympic Games, the City of Carson was the site of the track cycling events.

For the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Carson, as a 2028 Venue City, will host five Olympic events, including rugby sevens, archery, tennis, field hockey, and track cycling. Carson will also host three Paralympic events: para-archery, wheelchair tennis, and para-cycling track.

The Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28) chose Carson as a Venue City to support its commitment to use existing, world-class facilities. The Dignity Health Sports Park (Carson Sports Park), located in Carson, is a well-established sports complex that will provide high-quality experience for athletes and fans.

Carson Sports Park’s Tennis Center is home to the US Tennis Association’s High Performance Training Center and has hosted various professional Women’s Tennis championships and tournaments, The Velodrome is an official US Olympic Training Center Site and serves as the home track for USA Cycling’s national track and cycling program. The Rugby Sevens Olympic event will be held in the Sports Park’s main stadium, which has regularly hosted the World Rugby Sevens Series.

The City of Carson’s connection with the Olympic Games is not limited to providing first-class venues for Olympic and Paralympic events. The City is a proven incubator for elite athletes. Carson High School graduate (1967), the late Ralph Mann was an Olympic silver medalist at the 1972 Olympic Games (Munich) in the 400-meter hurdles events, Mann also won the gold medal at the 1971 Pan American Games and a silver medal at the 1975 Pan American Games. Dr. Mann is a member of the Carson High School Hall of Fame and the US National Track and Field Hall of Fame.

Marcus Tupuola, also a graduate of Carson High School, is currently a member of the US National Rugby Sevens Team that will represent the United States at the 2028 Olympic Games. Marcus also represented the United States at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the 2019 Pan American Games.

While there is much work to be done in preparation for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the City of Carson has a rich tradition on which to build.

2.4 City of Carson Obligations
By agreeing to serve as a Venue City, Carson
incurs a variety of obligations associated with the
use of city venues2.

The Games Agreement for the 2028 Olympic and
Paralympic Games (GA) was approved by
Carson City Council on May 8, 2024. The
Agreement sets the terms of the relationship and
commitments between the City of Carson as a
Venue City, and LA28 for the 2028 Games.

The City also provided letters, over the period
from January 2015 to May 2023, to the
International Olympic Committee (“IOC”) in
connection with the candidature of the City of Los
Angeles for the Olympic and Paralympic Games
which set forth certain governing principles and
commitments from the City regarding its
participation as a Venue City in the Games.

While the IOC requires financial guarantees, or
backstops for potential organizing committee cost
overruns, as part of the bid phase and the Host City Contract, it is the City of Los Angeles and the State of California who have provided these financial guarantees. It is not an obligation of the City of Carson.

3 Vision and Strategic Objectives

3.1 Vision and Goals
The City of Carson envisions its participation in the 2028 Games to showcase the City’s vibrant culture of celebration and strong sense of community to further illustrate why it is the “Jewel of the South Bay”. The City’s goal is to create lasting memories that extend beyond the City’s role as a Venue City in 2028, by delivering premier experience for residents, businesses, and visitors.

The City’s planning team has identified three core goals to guide the planning and delivery of the Games:
• Crafting a premier event experience to showcase the City and create meaningful interaction with games for citizens and small businesses
• Protecting and supporting the small business community before, during, and after the Games period • Prioritizing safety, communication with, and overall experience of, residents and businesses The City has established goals to ensure the Games provide meaningful, long-term benefits for residents, businesses, and visitors. These goals are designed to showcase Carson’s diverse cultures, vibrant arts, and dynamic neighborhoods globally, celebrating the City’s unique identity.

The City is committed to implementing sustainable improvements in transportation, public spaces, and technology. Additionally, it will support local businesses and attract investments that align with the City’s economic development priorities, thus expanding economic opportunities. In line with Carson’s commitment to social and economic equity, the Games will ensure that the benefits are shared across all communities. The City will also prioritize safety and accessibility in all aspects of the Games, aligning its efforts with initiatives like Vision Zero and Safe Streets. Finally, Carson aims to establish a legacy by developing initiatives that extend beyond 2028, strengthening the City’s global reputation and fostering ongoing community engagement.

Aligned with Carson’s Strategic Vision 2030, these goals and themes demonstrate the City’s commitment to creating a thriving, equitable, and sustainable future. These goals anchor the Games as an opportunity to showcase Carson’s unique strengths while delivering a lasting, meaningful impact across the community.

3.2 Celebration Site
The City of Carson is committed to crafting a premier event experience to showcase Carson and create meaningful interaction with games for citizens and small businesses.

While details and cost estimates for this event will continue to be developed through operational conversations with L.A. County, Cal State Dominguez Hills and other partners, the City has begun to outline a series of potential plans and considerations for further discussion.

The overarching goal for the celebration site is to be located meaningfully adjacent to the Olympic Games venues. The event would run for the duration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, though there may be periods of downtime pending funding, safety and staffing considerations.

During this Celebration period, Carson would invite neighboring Counties or Cities, not involved as 2028 Games venue cities, but may be providing public safety support to participate as vendors or highlight elements of their city’s business or culinary offerings.

The celebration site may include performances, activities and “live look-ins.”

3.3 Key Success Factors
The City of Carson should consider the following success factors, which focus on managing the complexity of delivering such a high-profile and multifaceted project:

Comprehensive Project
Governance

Establishing a clear governance structure with defined roles, responsibilities, and decision-making authority. This includes regular reporting, accountability mechanisms, and stakeholder oversight to ensure alignment with strategic objectives.

Integrated Cross-
Agency Collaboration
and Relationships
Facilitating ongoing collaboration between multiple governmental agencies, LA28, County of Los Angeles, etc. Integrated communication systems and joint task forces help ensure that all parties remain coordinated and responsive to evolving needs. Ensure clarity of each agency’s “swim lane” and hold each other accountable to remaining within their scope of responsibility.

Build strong relationships at all levels to work together to resolve complex issues.

Robust
Risk Management
Developing a proactive risk management framework to identify potential challenges early, including budget overruns. Continuous risk assessments and contingency planning are essential for managing unforeseen complications.

Strong Project
Management
Creating a centralized project schedule that harmonizes timelines across venues, and operational needs. This should include meticulous resource allocation to avoid bottlenecks and ensure that critical phases stay on track. A coordinated approach requires strong, ongoing and open communication between the City departments as well as with external stakeholders and partners to ensure all parties are aligned.

Effective Financial
Management and
Oversight
Implementing a transparent financial control system to track expenditures, manage budgets, and prevent cost overruns. Regular financial audits and reporting will help maintain fiscal responsibility while ensuring timely allocation of funds.

Adaptive Change
Management
Anticipating and managing changes in scope, regulations, and external factors through a flexible change management process. Engaging stakeholders early and continuously updating them ensures the project can adapt while staying aligned with overall objectives.

Ensuring that procurement strategies focus on sustainability and efficiency, from hiring vendors to managing contracts. Establish clear criteria for vendor selection, performance monitoring, and compliance with environmental and legal standards.

4.1 Foundation Planning Phase
The Foundation Phase covers activities into early 2026 and focuses on developing an operating model for how the City of Carson will plan and execute its role in the Games.

The Situational Analysis focuses on elements that may create challenges in need of mitigation to successfully achieve the City’s strategic objectives. It establishes good governance around the Games as a project and sets policies and processes around managing costs, human resources, and public affairs, among others from planning to dissolution following the Games themselves.

It is in this phase that the City of Carson will determine the framework and initiatives it wants to implement as part of a Legacy-Building Plan. Additionally, through engagement with LA28, the City of Carson will continue to gain an understanding of its obligations around the venues and sports that will be taking place in Carson.

4.1.1 Situational Analysis
The situational analysis details issues arising from an initial review of documents, discussions with City staff and any follow-up undertaken by KPMG. The purpose was to identify challenges and develop recommendations and next steps.

The process of gathering the situational analysis consisted of meetings, discussions, and document reviews. The recommendations and comments are based on an understanding and experience with planning for the hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and other major multi-sport Games.

Prior to the meetings, KPMG reviewed the draft Games Agreement with LA28, and other documentation provided by the City of Carson. The review of the Games Agreement (GA) allowed KPMG to cross-reference sections of the GA with City departments that might be impacted.

Bi-Weekly Status Meetings
KPMG and Carson’s dedicated core team participated in bi-weekly status meetings to discuss updates from the City’s core team: Office of City Manager, Community Services, Public Safety and Emergency Management Services, Finance, Transportation, and Public Works. These meetings included general updates from representatives, and coordination efforts with external and regional partners, LA28, Metro, SCAG, Los Angeles County, and CSUH.

Workshops
In-person meetings took place from July 21-22, 2025 between City of Carson departmental staff and KPMG.

The departments/areas involved were as follows:

External Meetings
Executive Team
Office of the City Manager
LA28 Ad Hoc Committee
Community Services
Public Works
Public Safety and Emergency Management Services
Finance
Human Resources
Transportation
City Engineer

representatives on these committees to the City of
Carson Project Coordination Team. Input timelines
from the two planning groups into the Implementation
Schedule and Milestones section 4.5
4 The City will need to consider resourcing and
budget needs (staffing and funding) to ensure that
Departments are able to continue to carry out core
activities. The City’s goal of cost recovery must be
assessed in the context of the “Games footprint”
definition.

Document limitations of the “Games footprint” model.

Lobby aggressively – possibly in cooperation with Host
and Venue Cities – for funding from the State and
Federal governments to cover additional costs. Also,
see

8. 5 Coordination and communication within and
among City departments.

Maintain ongoing communication with departments
through the committee structures. Communicate key
relevant features of the Strategic Plan in a session with the committees and walk through milestones and
deliverables and explain the “4-Phases approach”.
6 Regional coordination and cooperation are a
standard practice for some key services in Carson
during a surge or increased need. Accessing
underused capacity and resources in areas not
hosting events may be a way to alleviate stress on
the capacity of the City of Carson
Investigate the possibility, identify which services might be available to support, and develop a plan
accordingly.
7 The City will need to carefully track any projects
that are scheduled for completion before the start
of the Games that could affect routes to and from
the Carson Sports Park and other
Olympic/Paralympic related facilities.

As part of the Foundation Plan section 4.1.4 “Strategic Review of Venues and Sports,” highlight any projects
close to 2028 venues and prioritize where possible.
8 Impacts and needs of residents living and
businesses operating within the designated
Games “footprint” of Carson Sports Park.

The City must consider the needs of such businesses
and residents during the planning phase and at
“Games-time.”
9 Live Sites and Celebration Sites A commitment to ensuring that all Carson residents and communities have access to Games-Times
celebrations, information and benefits.
10 Technology considerations The City should coordinate with LA28 and key partners to raise the issues of technology and related
infrastructure.

4.1.2 Governance Structure
Within the City of Carson, City Council provides vision and policy goals for the Games, ensure that constituent concerns and ideas are relayed to the Executive Team, and serve as the final approver of contractual obligations and legal documents. To facilitate day-to-day planning and preparation for the Games, the City has established a three-tier approach to supporting the operations and planning needs of the games. This approach is visualized in the graphic below.

See Committee Chart for tier 2 and tier 3 representation by department and sub-department in section 9.3.

Implementation recommendations or considerations
The tiered model is a workable structure for managing the work required during the initial Foundation Phase.

An information plan should be developed that includes the centralization and management of key documents together with processes for access, authorization of changes and version control. (Also see 4.1.3.5 Policies and Processes – Change Management).

Key documents would include but are not limited to:
• Structure and roles and responsibilities
• Key agreements and responsibilities
• Implementation schedule and milestones
• Reports – external and internal
• Major Items List
• Games Assumptions Register
The content and complexity of information will grow exponentially over the next four years, and it is important that it is well-planned, maintained, and updated from the start.

Carson Executive Leadership Team
Roles Responsibilities
• Ensures that the City of
Carson and LA28 fulfil their
respective responsibilities as
contained in the Games
Agreement (GA) and any
future agreements.
• Guides the City of Carson’s strategic vision and directs strategic communications
• Resolves major issues beyond the capacity of the Project Coordination Team.
• Develop agendas, an action list and records minutes.

• Provides regular status reports to the Steering Committee. • Identify issues beyond the capacity of the “Ad-hoc” committee to resolve.

Additional Considerations Around Governance
Future Structures
• The governance structure may evolve as needs change and should be reviewed before the operational planning and other future phases.
• Changes are likely to lead to a flatter structure with greater levels of authority delegated down while still following a pre-set framework.

Key Agreements
• Agreements will play a key role in driving the planning and delivery of services for the 2028 Games. In addition, agreements will also detail key dates, reporting requirements, and other obligations. • Many agreements will identify obligations across several departments. It is important that the Executive Leadership Team communicates to departments their obligations and helps resolve any challenges in coordination. It is also important for each agreement to be assigned an overall owner who is responsible for ensuring that the City of Carson and the other contracting parties fulfill their obligations. • See Section 8.5 Chart of LA28 Games Agreement
Reporting
Taking a simpler approach to reporting, particularly in the initial Foundation Phase, is advised.

Flow
• Reports from the Ad hoc Working Groups go to the Steering Committee and the Project Coordination Team • Reports from the Steering Committee go to the Project Coordination Team

Major Items List
A Major Items List should be developed with the initial content generated partially from the Situational Analysis – Foundation Phase @ section 4.1.1. It should be limited to items escalated to the level of the Executive Leadership Team and should record the following:
• Description of the item
• Date escalated to the Executive Leadership Team
• Internal and external groups impacted
• Person (not group) responsible for resolution
• Status
Games and Venue Register
The 2028 Games and Venue Register (Section 9.7) is a common source of accurate and validated information for the 2028 Games, along with working assumptions where needed.

It is extremely important that additions and changes are accurate and flow through one group or one individual. (See Policies and Processes, Change Management Section 4.1.3.5).

Some of the information may be reflected in other documents, such as the Implementation Schedule and Milestones. However, the Games and Venue Register should not be a replication of the Implementation Schedule.

Below is an example of the information that is generally included in the Games and Venue Register by venue:
• Location
• Contact information
• Purpose, hosted sport or non-competition
• Estimated attendance
• Operational dates and event dates
• Non-exclusive & exclusive use dates for LA28
For each entry, the source of the information, the date it was entered into the Games Assumptions Register, and who authorized the addition or change should be noted.

Staffing
Staffing considerations are outlined in detail in @ section 8.1.

4.1.3 Policies and Processes
There is a requirement for certain policies and processes to be adopted within the context of the 2028 Games.

Some of these should be drafted and approved during the Foundation Phase while others may be implemented in later phases.

4.1.3.1 Finance Recommendations
Costs of the Olympic and Paralympic Games are broken into two categories: capital or operating expenses.

These categories can also be segmented into:

Controllable costs Nondiscretionary costs
The City maintains substantial control over the
provision of these services and levels of services
Spending that refers to the portion of the City's budget spending that is legally or contractually required, and the City generally has limited or no flexibility to unilaterally mitigate any unplanned costs in the short run.

Segment Type Description Operating or Capital Primary Funder 1 Non-discretionary Municipal services Operating LA28
• Delivery
Summary
Costs included in this category are referenced in the Games Agreement @ section 7 “Delivery of City Resources” between the City of Carson and LA28. The contract requires the City of Carson to provide, at its own expense, public services within each Games Footprint (defined in the Games Agreement with LA28 in section

9.5) at the level and range that would be customarily provided by the City during that time. These baseline public services include but are not limited to police, fire, transportation, public works, and building and safety and covered by the City of Carson.

Section 7 outlines a process by which LA28 will identify required enhanced public services over and above the customary or baseline service level that the City of Carson will also need to provide. LA28 will reimburse the cost of these incremental service levels only.

Key considerations:

1. Understand and clearly identify each Games Footprint

2. Identify and cost the agreed level of “customary” or baseline public services

3. Provide the “enhanced” level of service within the Games Footprint but only up to the agreed contract level

4. Some “enhanced” costs may be funded by agencies other than LA28 e.g., policing costs as part of the NSSE designation

5. Ensure any additional requests from LA28 or other agencies for changes in “enhanced” public services are documented and approved by both parties

6. Retain all documentation until all invoices have been paid by LA28 Note 1: There is no reference to Test Events in section 7 of the Games Agreement – see Major Items List @ section 9.6.

Summary
This segment covers costs that the City of Carson will be required to provide external to each Games Footprint.

Such costs are likely to be greater than “customary” costs incurred for servicing certain areas of the city on account of the added number of non-resident spectators attending 2028 events and Carson residents being drawn to celebration sites, etc.

Segment Type Description Operating or Capital Primary Funder Other cost drivers include the sport schedule (which will impact peak numbers), as well as other activities planned for the City of Carson. Costs will also be impacted by the service level mandated by the NSSE designation which will almost certainly extend beyond each “Games Footprint.” When deciding what may or may not be captured as an “Olympic/Paralympic” cost Carson will need to decide whether to account for incremental charges over “normal” or “customary” costs or account for the total costs incurred.

Segment Type Description Operating or Capital Primary Funder 3 Controllable Direct Program Costs Operating City of Carson NOTES: This segment includes programs organized and delivered by the City of Carson within the city in support of City policies and objectives.

City of Carson may also participate in a shared cost arrangement with LA28 to help deliver some programs, such as a Celebration Site.

Applicable Phases
• Operational Planning (examples: milestone events, dignitary visits) • Testing (examples: milestone events, dignitary visits, economic and community development, legacy programs) • Delivery
Summary
This segment covers a wide array of possible initiatives, such as participation in milestone LA28 events hosted in the City of Carson (e.g., Countdown), visitors programs leading up to and during the Games, acknowledgments to dignitaries (IOC, IPC, Ifs, etc.) making pre-Games visits, hospitality programs during the Games, Celebration Site(s), legacy programming, economic and community development initiatives, and many other possibilities. Because of the number of possible initiatives, it is advisable to account for sub-segments.

Summary
Such costs are not anticipated at this time as the cost of such projects that are required by the “Olympics/Paralympics” should be funded by LA28.

4.1.3.2 Human Resource Recommendations
There is a need for Human Resources to start to develop policies and processes during the Foundation phase.

The following will emerge over the next 12 months. Some of these issues overlap and this will add to the complexity (e.g., vacation policy vs. staff as Games volunteers).

Category Considerations
Labor Contract
Negotiations
Timing in relation to Games-time and either side of it
Vacation Impact of vacations being requested during Games-time (can vary across departments) and possibility of negotiating excluded periods for certain positions Staff Managed Games-
Time Programs
Line between staff being paid to manage certain Games-time programs (e.g., Celebrations Sites), vs. staff volunteering at the same sites on their own time Staff as Games
Volunteers
Games volunteers can be LA28 volunteers or City of Carson volunteers assigned to City of Carson initiatives or programs. Will staff be required to take vacation or unpaid time to volunteer for the Games, or could the City of Carson offer, for example, a 50/50 split up to an agreed number of hours? Temporary
Reassignment of Staff
Staff being moved temporarily between departments to manage peak Games-time activity as it arises
Secondments Possibility of LA28 requesting City of Carson staff as secondments Retired Employees If additional staff are required, are recently retired staff a possible source to increase capacity?

4.1.3.3 Public Affairs
There is a need for Public Affairs to develop policies and processes during the Foundation phase.

Relationship with LA28 LA28 should be forming a Communications group if it has not already. The group should include, at a minimum, Host City, Venue Cities, LA County, LA Metro and the State.

Understanding and agreeing on the “swim-lanes” and a mechanism for distributing position statements and messaging are just two of the priority issues.

Internal Structures Ensure that there are strong internal channels in place to collect and communicate information.

Structures through the
Phases
Anticipate the change in organizational structures through the different phases (Operational Planning, Testing, Delivery, Dissolution) and ensure that Public Affairs change its own internal structure, if needed.

Scenario Planning Start logging possible scenarios that may have to be addressed over the next four years and possible responses from the City of Carson. Some scenarios may be generated from the Venues and Sports Strategic Review.

4.2 Operational Planning Phase
If the Foundation Phase is about setting the business context around the project, the Operational Planning Phase is about developing the roadmap and plans to deliver what the City has committed to:
• Municipal services required to support venues and sports in Carson as part of the LA28 sport program • Municipal services required to support other Games-related activities, movement of Games client groups (e.g., spectators, public) transiting through the community to attend the Games, and official Games live sites • Programs and support services for delivering any additional initiatives the City has chosen to accomplish its strategic objectives
• Community outreach and public affairs around the City’s involvement in the Games Key activities taking place from April 2026 to March 2027 Category Activity Description
Prerequisites for this Phase
Signed Enhanced City Resources
Master Agreement & Venue
Services Agreements (Collectively:

Municipal Service Agreements)
• Clarity is needed as to what municipal services are required by LA28 in support of the Games.
• This would include service levels, expectations of impacts to public spaces, exclusive- and non-exclusive use periods, remediation of areas taken over by LA28, etc.

Key activities taking place from April 2026 to March 2027 • If these agreements, collectively referred to as municipal service agreements for ease of reference, are not signed, they need to be in advanced stages of negotiation/detail to inform the drafting of the City of Carson Operating Plans.

Venues in addition to Carson
Sports Park
• Like the municipal service agreements, where the services will be provided, including the Games-time footprint of existing venues, the footprint of temporary venues, and the changes to normal processes at existing venues all feed into operating plans.

Municipal Services Defined • The City needs to have a clear understanding of which municipal services it needs to write operational plans for and the service level that departments are being commissioned to provide.

Operational Details/Plans from
External Agencies
• In several cases, key operational information is required from other agencies external to the City of Carson to inform the City’s operating plans. External agencies could include public and private entities in functional areas, such as:
Transportation
Security & law enforcement
Emergency management
Clear Strategic Direction • Clear strategic direction is needed on any additional initiative, program, or project chosen by the City to achieve its strategic objectives and vision for the Games.
• This would include any project tagged with the Olympic or Paralympic label under the umbrella of City delivery.

Review of Progress/Status of
Foundation Phase
• While the end date does not change, timelines in Games planning can be fluid as new information becomes available or details change, given the complex interactions with multiple agencies.

Key Activities of Operational Planning Phase
Develop Operating Plan Template • Develop a standard template to be used by all City functional departments that clearly lays out the following elements:

1. Program Scope of Work and Key Assumptions

2. Constraints and Limitations

3. Target Audiences

4. Description of Legacy / Benefits

5. Sustainability, and Inclusiveness

6. Key performance indicators (metrics) / Success criteria

7. Budget by line detail
a. Cash costs
b. Value (services) In-Kind

8. Risk assessment and mitigation strategy

Complete Versions 1 and 2 of
Operating Plans
• Draft initial concept of operations for each department with Games- related responsibilities (version 1)
• Refine and update into a second version of operating plans as planning advances and more information becomes available or decisions are made
• It is helpful to have this managed as a central process to ensure planning is consistent across City departments and to better identify interdependencies and potential gaps or overlaps.
• Conducting two phases of planning (version 1 and version 2) allows all departments to participate, even if some are more advanced in planning than others. In the version 1 operating plans, departments might use more planning assumptions. In the version 2 operating plans, these assumptions should be confirmed or adjusted to reflect up-to-date information.

Conduct Community Outreach • Community outreach in the operational planning phase might take several forms (see @ section 5 Stakeholder Engagement):
Communicating Carson involvement in the 2028 Games
Providing information on operational impacts in the lead-up to and during the events taking place in the community
Engaging the population to participate in Games-related or legacy programs and initiatives

4.3 Testing and Delivery Phases
As operational planning matures, focus turns to ensure plans, procedures, and people are ready for Games-time delivery. This leads to a Testing and Delivery Phase.

Key activities taking place from April 2027 to August 2028 Category Activity Description
Operations Plan Version 2 • Plans need to be in an advanced state before the Testing Phase to test their effectiveness
External Agency Operational
Plans
• Similarly, planning of agencies that have dependencies with City departments needs to be at an advanced state to learn the most from exercises.

Review of Progress/Status of
Operational Planning Phase
• While plans need to be advanced, the reality is they will be constantly changing and adjusting as the agencies move into more detailed integrated operations and pressure points or gaps are found. • City departments need to review their own status and be clear on what information is outstanding, where planning might be behind, and identify the risks and considerations these create in the Testing and Delivery Phase.

Testing Phase: April 2027 to April 2028
City Exercises • The City needs to practice their own operations to validate and confirm that the plans they have drafted are feasible and will be effective for delivering required services.
• This practice should be done at the department level followed by cross-functional exercises, either by site or by topic, if the services being provided apply to the entire Carson footprint.
• Exercises can take several forms and should progress from the simplest to the more complex:
Walkthroughs: teams talk through their plans, often looking at CADs or maps of where their services need to take place. This could include reviewing where resources will be stationed. Tabletops: discussion-based exercises around key scenarios to practice in-the-moment information flow, decision-making and contingency plans
Simulations: this might be done in very specific instances where teams want to practice response using actual equipment/devices in real-time but still in a safe environment.

Games-wide Exercises: LA28 • LA28 will have its own Readiness Program that includes function- and venue-based exercises like the ones described above. • Once plans are at a certain level of maturity, LA28 will invite interested parties to participate in joint exercises. This allows all parties to practice not only their own response, but the interconnectedness and integration of their response with other agencies within the Games theatre.
• Games-wide exercises are typically held as:
Tabletops: cross-functional and inter-agency scenario-based discussions on specific themes (e.g., safety and security, transportation, venue operations)
Simulations: one or two sessions, often multi-day exercises with complex scenarios and participants reacting in real-time and

walking through actual responses (e.g., coordinate with colleagues, write briefing notes, account for shift changes, call press conferences) but still in a simulated environment Games-wide Exercises: Safety &
Security
• These are like the LA28 Games-wide exercises, but LA28 will focus more on Games operations, security and/or safety (emergency management) agencies and will hold tabletops and simulations that focus on safety and security scenarios.
• Security and law enforcement agencies might also hold full-scale exercises – real-time exercises where they physically deploy resources (e.g., SWAT teams) and use real equipment and telecommunications to practice tactical response.

Test Events • Test events are real sport events, often world championships or Olympic/Paralympic qualifiers, that are run by LA28 in the actual venue as a test of venue operations (e.g., transport, technology, broadcast, venue team structure).
• They are also used for homologation, which is the official acceptance of a field of play in the Games-time venue by the international federation that governs the sport.

Delivery Phase: May 2028 to August 2028
Finalize Municipal Service
Agreements
• This is the final opportunity to agree to and contract municipal services that will be delivered at Games-time.

Revise Operating Plans • The final version of operating plans is created based on the signed municipal service agreements and lessons learned from the exercises.
• The City moves from writing the operating plans to delivering the services and adjusting operations in response to any changing circumstances.

Transition Completed from
Function-Based Plans to
Integrated Venue or Site-Based
Plans
• In much of the planning, it is typical to work in function-based (i.e., departmental) terms. By Games-time, any department involved in venue or site operations will have transitioned to working as part of a venue or site team, bringing with them policies, procedures and service levels developed within their functional areas to ensure that all venues/sites have consistently applied operations.
• The exception is any department that is required to provide services that are not site-specific or that connect sites (i.e., do not operate within a specific venue/site). They continue to operate as a function or department across the entire Carson Games footprint.

Deliver Services for Sport Events
in Carson
• The City delivers Games-time planned services in Carson venues as agreed to in municipal service agreements with LA28.

and Programs Related to Games
• The City delivers Games-time planned services for programs, projects, and initiatives led by the City, chosen to deliver on its strategic objectives and achieve its vision for the Games.

4.4 Dissolution Phase
The City of Carson has responsibility to ensure that the dissolution or close-out phase for the City’s role as a Venue City for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games is completed in a comprehensive manner.

The Dissolution Phase is important, yet it is often underestimated and, if not well planned for, can drag on unnecessarily.

Note: It is recommended that the City develop a Dissolution Plan to address the activities associated with the wrap up of the City’s 2028 Games functions. The plan should identify the items to be addressed for each of the dissolution tasks/activities and clearly indicate who is responsible for managing the dissolution activities Key activities taking place from end of Games in September 2028 to 2029 Category Activity Description
City Records and Archives
2028 Olympic and
Paralympic Games
Establish a Records and Archives team to be responsible for developing and implementing policies, procedures and strategies for information-handling, records management, and archiving related to the City’s role as a 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games Venue City.

Responsibilities include:
• The planning and organizing of an archive that safely and effectively preserves and provides appropriate access to the 2028 Olympic memorabilia, to be owned and controlled by the City of Carson • Defining a process to record and store electronic and printed Games- related information appropriately. This function will require the City’s Records and Archives team to work with various City departments and LA28.

Key activities taking place from end of Games in September 2028 to 2029 Decommissioning of 2028
Olympic and Paralympic
Games Venues
The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic sport events that will be held in the City of Carson will not take place at City-owned facilities, but rather at the Dignity Health Sports Park (Carson Sports Park). However, access to this venue will be via the City of Carson’s public streets.

Access to the Dignity Health Sports Park (Carson Sports Park) will be subject to the movement of heavy vehicle usage daily throughout the Games period to service the venue needs (food services, supplies, broadcast equipment) and temporary structures (e.g., temporary stands, food concessions, washrooms).

Hence, the wear and tear on City access roads, parking, and loading areas is potentially substantial.

It is recommended that the City has a video record of those areas prior to handover, as well as at the decommissioning stage.

This approach would be in the best interest of both the City and LA28, should there be a dispute about the extent of remedial costs.

Decommissioning of the
Urban Domain
The Look of the City, beyond the Games venues, includes citywide alignment with the LA28 “Look of the Games” (e.g., banners). The 2028 City overlay of Games-themed elements will need to be removed.

The timing for and the responsibility to carry out this work will need to be defined.

Distribution of 2028 Olympic
and Paralympic Games Sport
Equipment
LA28 will be providing sports equipment (e.g., rugby balls, field hockey balls, tennis balls,) and field of play equipment (e.g., field hockey goals, tennis court nets, course markers, artificial turf for the field hockey pitches) for the sports events that will take place at Dignity Health Sports Park (Carson Sports Park).

The distribution of this sports equipment post-Games provides an opportunity for the City to arrange with LA28 and Dignity Health Sports Park (Carson Sports Park) to have this equipment transferred to City of Carson sports and recreation organizations, schools, and colleges located in the City.

It is suggested that the City, in developing its Dissolution Plan, initiate discussions with LA28 and Dignity Health Sports Park (Carson Sports Park) to develop a plan to distribute this sports equipment, post-Games.

Financial Reconciliation and Settlements
LA28 The Games Agreement between the City and LA28 covers the reimbursement for the cost of fulfilling its responsibilities as a Venue City. These costs include:
• The Games Agreement provides for the reimbursement of City services that are required to support the 2028 Games. These reimbursable costs are defined as the “Enhanced City Resources” (e.g., above the level of services defined as “normal and customary”).
• The final determination of these costs, and the settlement of this account with LA28 will be a key close-out activity for the City of Carson.

Key activities taking place from end of Games in September 2028 to 2029 • The Games Agreement requires the City of Carson, as a provider of various modes of advertising, to provide LA28 with a priority option to acquire such space at an agreed price.
• The final settlement of this account with LA28 will be a key close-out activity for the City of Carson.
• The Venue Agreements between the City of Carson and LA28 provide for LA28 to reimburse the City for monthly baseline rent, monthly variable rent, and monthly variable service expenses for each City-owned venue used for the 2028 Games.

The final determination of these costs and the settlement of this account with LA28 will be a key close out activity for the City of Carson.

Note: For all costs eligible for reimbursement from LA28, it is recommended that the City establish with LA28 a system that would provide for interim or progress payments for each three categories noted above.

Other Costs The City will have incurred costs associated with its role as a 2028 Venue City, which are not recoverable under the provisions of the Games Agreement with LA28. These costs are discretionary and may include items such as City- sponsored “live” or “watch” sites, City enhancements to augment the LA28 Look of the Games across the urban domain (areas in the City that are outside of the Games venue footprints), and City-initiated or -sponsored celebrations and activities.

The final determination of these costs and the settlement of these accounts will be a key close-out activity for the City.

Legals and Insurance
Settlements
As often occurs with major events and celebrations, where the City has a principal role, they present the potential of legal action against the City.

Therefore, a significant close-out activity will be to confirm that all legal and related insurance claims are settled.

Return of Loaned or Leased
Assets
Given the scope and scale of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the sport events that will be held in Carson, there is the potential that the City may lease or acquire, on a loan basis, several assets to meet the requirements to provide for enhanced municipal services during the Games period.

A process to return these assets with the corresponding record for the conclusion of lease and loan agreements will need to be put in place.

Contributors
Many residents of Carson will likely have a role with the 2028 Games. They may be part of the LA28 volunteer workforce or participate in City-sponsored 2028 Games initiatives.

Regardless of which group they belong to, the City may wish to recognize important contributions those residents played in helping the Games be a success.

It is suggested that the Dissolution Plan consider an initiative to recognize the contribution of those residents.

Final Reports It is suggested that final reports on the City’s role as a 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games Venue City be prepared. Three reports are proposed:
• Report to City Council: a report which summarizes the City’s role and accomplishments as a 2028 Venue City, including a financial report • Report to LA28: a report to the LA28 Board of Directors, which summarizes the City’s role in fulfilling the obligations as a 2028 Venue City, as defined under the City-LA28 Games Agreement.
• Public Report: a public facing report that tells the story of the City’s role and achievements as a 2028 Venue City.

Notes:
• The compiling of the Reports will be facilitated if progress reports are produced by each of the City 2028 Committees (see Governance Section) every six months. The progress reports will provide a record of progress over the period leading up to the Games and provide documentation that will assist in preparing the final reports.
• As indicated under City Records and Archives 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the final reports will be enhanced by photographs and videos. Therefore, early coordination between the City Archives and the City’s Public Affairs is recommended.
• Given the scope of the task of preparing the Final Reports, it is important that the City plans to adequately staff this function, ideally prior to the end of the 2028 Games period.

5 Stakeholder Engagement
The City of Carson boasts a strong tradition of involving both community members and stakeholders, working in collaboration with nearby cities and engaging with its diverse populations across the city. The international scope of the Olympic and Paralympic Games demands heightened coordination and interaction with a broader range of local, regional, state, and worldwide stakeholders. Successfully hosting the Games requires effective management and communication with all parties to ensure they are well-informed and prepared to take necessary actions for a successful and safe event.

need to interact, and contract with, various County entities separately, the LA County CEOs office can serve as a supportive coordination body for ensuring alignment between the City and the County, as well as with other Venue Cities.

Regional Partners Regional coordination is familiar to the City of Carson when needing to supplement emergency services (e.g., supplementing resources to combat wildfires). A coordinated, regional approach may be needed to supplement coverage for Police and Safety staff, as well as emergency response during the Games period.

Volunteers Volunteers play a crucial role in the delivery of Olympic and Paralympic Games by supplementing capacity and human capital available to the Host or Venue Cities.

Any potential use and need for Carson volunteers must be aligned to discretionary event plans and are supplemental to those provided by LA28.

Residents Residents will look to the City to understand impact of the Games and how they might be able to participate and benefit from the Games.

5.2 Engagement Insights
Internal
Effective coordination and engagement with internal stakeholders are vital for the City's success. Beyond the milestones and activities outlined in section 4, it is crucial for City leadership, including the Mayor’s office and City Manager’s team, to remain aligned as plans and preparations evolve. The City Manager’s team plays an essential role by offering crucial insights and strategic guidance to the Citywide Steering Committee. A key priority for Carson should be guaranteeing that city staff outside the Citywide Steering Committee receive prompt and accurate information regarding planning and delivery. In addition to their regular duties, city staff are vital communicators, sharing information with broader partners and residents, and serving as essential escalation points throughout the planning and implementation phases. Members of the Citywide Steering Committee should ensure that wider constituencies within their departments receive relevant and timely updates.

External/Regulatory
As a Venue City, the City of Carson will need to leverage its relationships with Dignity Health Sports Park and California State Dominguez Hills to collaboratively host the 2028 Games.

As a contract City for LA County, Carson will also need to work hand in hand with the County to coordinate services. The City of Carson regularly engages with external or regulatory partners at the County, Regional and

State level. Crucial external partners during the planning and implementation period include LA28 and LA County, both serve as leaders in planning for a coordinated approach to the Games, Security, and Transportation. Since the City of Carson’s contracts with County for services, such as Law Enforcement, Fire, and Health Services. The City of Carson should continue to be a party to engagements with LA28, Metro, and the County to ensure alignment with planning and escalate any impacts.

Additional external stakeholders will include International Teams and Sports Federations who are likely to seek access and space in Carson in advance of the Games. Communication and visibility regarding these requests are crucial. The City will need to establish a formal protocol or office dedicated to managing these and other ongoing requests from visitors or dignitaries. These interactions present an early opportunity to promote Carson’s communities and businesses. Having a formal process or office in place will also enable Carson to document the Games' impact beyond the event itself.

Community Stakeholders
Engagement with community stakeholders is essential for sharing information and building trust and perception of long-term impacts and legacy of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Residents will look to City leadership for information regarding opportunities to engage and understand the impact of the Games. Residents will need to understand the Games footprint and timing, impact to any essential services, and transportation and safety considerations. The City of Carson should consider its current messaging pathways including social media, websites, and texting to ensure that residents have necessary information along each stage of the planning and delivery process. Beyond information-sharing, the City of Carson should consider forums or surveys to assess the concerns and thoughts of residents during each key milestone.

City businesses are likely to need substantial support to plan for any potential Games impacts and maximize the opportunities for additional benefits. Businesses within the Games footprint, or who may be impacted by changes in access or transportation routes, should receive timely and regular communication to ensure that they can plan accordingly. Businesses along key transportation corridors would also benefit from targeted support to ensure that they can meet an influx of visitors, and potentially, a greater range of language needs.

Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) often serve as crucial stakeholders and partners to government. CBOs often serve as trusted organizations in communities and have access to a wide range of networks. Tapping CBOs as trusted messengers with key information may allow the City to supplement its reach, engage harder-to-reach communities, and utilize greater subject matter expertise in key areas. CBOs can also serve as potential partners in the development of legacy programming such as Arts and Culture and Youth Engagement. CBOs often have programmatic expertise and operational experience to develop and deploy programming.

Volunteers
Volunteers play a crucial role in the delivery of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and LA28 will roll out a volunteer program for official Olympic and Paralympic events.

The City of Carson would benefit from developing a list of potential volunteers (beyond those who are part of the LA28 Volunteer Program) who may be interested in supplementing local needs and events. This volunteer list can also become a legacy document and support future Carson activities. It identifies community members eager and willing to engage. Volunteers can help run local events to ensure that Olympic and Paralympic activities reach beyond the Games area into the broader Carson communities. They can also supplement staffing gaps by providing additional manpower in crowd control or helping to reorient City visitors.

The volume and scale of volunteers needed will depend on City decisions regarding supplemental events and efforts and The City may also seek to align its
economic and youth development
goals with its volunteer needs by
creating youth jobs to supplement
areas where volunteers are likely to
be needed. This may align with
existing City priorities and strategies
to develop internship opportunities
through programs like the Carson
Public Service Corps.

management of a volunteer program should be aligned with that decision-making. The City may want to consider the following approaches to volunteer management:

1. Identify a City department or team to identify and manage volunteers – this ensures the City can deploy volunteers where needed but does have potential impacts on staffing and resources.

2. Encourage Council Offices and CBOs in developing and deploying volunteers on an as-needed basis for local (non-City) activities. This may increase the need for coordination to ensure that volunteers understand the Games plan and can provide residents and visitors with accurate and timely information.

3. Partner with a Community Based Organization to oversee, manage, and train volunteers. Many CBOs rely on volunteer structures to support their operating needs and may have the necessary infrastructure and experience to ensure a positive and coordinated experience.

As the City defines its own discretionary events beyond the Games, it should consider the need for volunteers.

The City should tap existing interest coming off the Paris 2024 Games and send a communication that acknowledges future opportunities for volunteerism. This communication can clarify the mechanism for “official” volunteer opportunities with LA28 and collect insights and information from individuals willing to volunteer in local opportunities. Having this information creates pathways for communication with residents and potential volunteers and helps the City size up interest in such opportunities as it determines the scale of programming and expertise available.

5.3 Stakeholder Communications Plan
Engagement objectives for a stakeholder communications plan are:

Inform
To provide stakeholders with balanced and objective information to assist them in understanding the problem, alternatives, opportunities, and/or solution Consult
To obtain stakeholder feedback on analysis alternatives and/or decisions Involve
To work directly with stakeholders in each aspect of the decision including the development of the alternatives and the identification of a preferred solution Collaborate
To partner with stakeholders in each aspect of the decision including the development of alternatives and the identification of a preferred solution Empower
To place final decision making in the hands of stakeholders

5.4 Stakeholder Advisory Group
A key recommendation for incorporating community member and partner skills, energy and resources is to develop and name an Advisory Group with key expertise to advise on and support Carson’s legacy objectives.

Focus areas for this Advisory Group may include:
• Legacy Fund Development or Endowment Development and Public/Private Partnerships. • Small Business Opportunities-
• Arts and Culture
• Youth Engagement/Sports
The Advisory Group should be led by, or at minimum, supported by City Staff to ensure appropriate information flow and alignment of group and City objectives and overall Games Planning. The frequency of meetings should align with the specific tasks in front of the Advisory Group. More frequent meetings may be needed in the discovery phase until the Group has developed clear advice and recommendation for Citywide Steering Committee review and consideration.

6.1 Phased Approach
The City of Carson, as a two-time Olympic Venue City, has a unique opportunity to leverage its role as a 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Venue City by developing legacy building programs and activities.

An overarching objective of the City is to provide opportunities that are accessible and inclusive for the residents of City of Carson and visitors to participate in and enjoy the 2028 Games experience.

The development and implementation of the legacy building programs that can be accomplished in four phases.

These are:

There is a degree of continuity across the four phases of the Legacy Building Programs, which is illustrated by the timeline below.

While LA28 is responsible for the events and activities occurring within the official Games footprint, those areas beyond the Games footprint, referred to as the legacy building programs, are the responsibility of the City of Carson.

The legacy building programs opportunities can serve a dual purpose:
1) to provide residents across the entire City with opportunities to participate in the City’s role as a Venue City, and
2) establish an atmosphere and civic pride as a successful host of one of the world’s major international events that will become embedded in the City’s DNA in the years after the 2028 Games.

In previous Games, both Host and Venue Cities have, to varying degrees, taken advantage of their roles to build on the official Games activities to celebrate their role in supporting the Games.

Note: To help develop the City of Carson’s approach to the City’s 2028 legacy building programs, it is recommended, as an initial step, that the City initiate discussions with LA28 to determine the extent of planned activities and support that LA28 envisages to provide for the legacy building programs in City of Carson, and any limitations or requirements, which are defined in the Games Agreement signed by the City of Carson and the LA28.

With the LA28 plans confirmed, the City and community can then determine the extent to which they wish to invest and build upon the LA28 plans for the legacy building programs.

Note: It is recommended that the City develop a coordinated plan to integrate the various 2028 celebration opportunities to enhance the City’s vision and strategic objectives as a 2028 Venue City.

Below are a few typical examples of legacy building programs initiatives that have been undertaken by previous Host or Venue Cities, at each city’s expense. These examples have been modified as opportunities that the City of Carson may wish to consider.

Examples provided for guidance only.

The key activities of the four phases for the development and implementation of the Legacy Program are summarized in the table below.

Examples Description
2028 Olympic and
Paralympic Live and
Celebration Sites3
The City of Carson, as a 2028 Venue City, can embrace its role on a citywide basis, beyond the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic venue footprints.

The City may, in cooperation with LA28, host 2028 “live” or “watch” sites. While the LA28-sponsored “live” sites will be the responsibility of LA28, the City could, through negotiation with LA28, add additional “live” or “watch” sites, for which the City will have the responsibility.

Establishing the “live” sites in public areas throughout the City, and removed from the 2028 venues, would serve to make the City’s role as a Venue City more inclusive for all residents.

A Celebration Site provides more attractions than a “live” site and is designed to attract more spectators.

Both types of sites provide free access.

Target Audiences:

City & area residents, Directly impacted property owners/residents/businesses, Media, Visitors, Local businesses, Community Groups.

Countdown Clock
A countdown clock, situated in the Carson City Hall Plaza or in another high-visibility area, could serve to promote the City’s role as a Venue City for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

It would display for the public the hours, minutes, and seconds until the Opening Ceremony on July 14th, 2028.

Such clocks are visible by day and often illuminated at night and are usually activated 2 years prior to the Games.

It could also act as a backdrop for pre-Games-related events.

A digital version could also be installed on the City of Carson website.

Cost Drivers:

Will depend on the degree of assistance from Omega (via LA28) and the size of the clock.

Delivery, short-term storage prior to installation and prior to return, mounting/ scaffolding, maintenance commissioning and decommissioning, adding Carson “features” to a basic piece of equipment, insurance, branding.

It should not be assumed that Omega would provide a countdown clock at no cost.

A working version of Legacy Building Projects – Order of Magnitude workbook was provided to City of Carson for cost considerations
Constraints & Limitations:

Collaboration with LA28 would be required. Omega is an IOC TOP Sponsor and may be a source for a countdown clock. In the absence of Omega / LA28 support an existing video board could be adopted to serve the same purpose.

City of Carson House A City of Carson “House”, which could be open leading up to the Games and during the 2028 Games and provide a facility for the City to promote its heritage and opportunities to visitors, VIPs, and residents of the City.

The City’s unique history as a two-time Games Venue City, its cultural heritage, and as an economic development and tourist center could be profiled.

A City of Carson House, situated in a distinctive locale, would also serve as the Mayor’s center to host official receptions during the Games’ period and meet high-level sporting officials visiting Carson pre-Games.

Target Audience:

City and residents, VIPs, Visitors, Media.

Examples Description
NOC Houses The City of Carson, as the venue for five Olympic Sports and 3 Paralympic Sports, may approach the National Olympic Committees of visiting countries, whose teams will be competing at the Carson City venues. The purpose would be to offer those NOC’s the opportunity to establish a “house” in Carson.

The role of these NOC “houses” is to:
a) provide a focal point (“home away from home”) for nationals from visiting countries to congregate in support of their athletes, and b) provide a venue to promote their own countries to both the residents of the City of Carson and other visitors
Outreach to specific NOCs – for example from countries where there is a cultural link with the residents of Carson, might be prioritized.

Target Audience:

City and area residents, VIPs, Visitors, Media, Local businesses.

External Partners/Interdependencies:

NOCs through LA28
Tasks:

See Appendix 9.10 Legacy Building Projects – Tasks
Staffing:

Estimate of staff hours required to develop Operating Plan.

See Appendix 9.9 Legacy Building Projects – Staff Hours Cost Drivers:

Cost would be subject to negotiation and dependent on the “scale and scope” of each “House” and the costs each NOC would be willing to absorb.

Although it is possible that a city could negotiate the hosting of a “House” at no cost, it is more likely that the City of Carson would be asked to fund certain services.

The cost to the City of Carson would be determined by the legal agreement and “scale and scope.”
A working version of Legacy Building Projects – Order of Magnitude workbook was provided to City of Carson for cost considerations
Constraints & Limitations:

Initial contact through LA28 is required.

Some NOCs have already entered into agreements with cities.

NOCs are generally looking to acquire the use of permanent buildings rather than temporary structures.

Security, law enforcement, and emergency services capacity may be a challenge.

Commemorative
Pins/Memorabilia
The collection of “commemorative pins” relating to the hosting of an Olympic and Paralympic Games and other major sports events is a massive world-wide hobby, with hundreds of thousands of collectors. As 2028 Venue City, there will be a demand for, and interest in “Carson pins”
With respect to a design for the 2028 Carson Pins, the City may wish to capitalize on the focus that will be on the City due to both its 60th year celebrations and its role as a 2028 Venue City.

The design of the pins may also provide an opportunity to engage with the City’s arts community through the solicitation of proposed designs.

There is an opportunity to develop different Carson themes and levels such as the mayor’s pin.

Target Audience:

City and area residents, Visitors, VIPs, Media.

Discuss concept with LA28 (+USOPC) to determine limitations/restrictions on use of Olympic and Paralympic trademarks and symbols.

LA28 will have an Official Pin provider with a royalty payment or such flowing to LA28. Using the official LA28 provider may be more expensive, but it may also have some benefits.

Any use of Olympic and Paralympic trademarks and symbols requires approval from both LA28 and the USOPC through legal agreements.

A Carson Pin program will require a policy to control the issuance of pins – by whom, how many and if costs will be recharged to department budgets. As with all small items, inventory control and re-ordering procedures will be important. *Olympic and
Paralympic School-
Based Education
Program
For previous games, the National Olympic and Paralympic Committees have developed curriculum modules which explain and promote the concept of Olympism.

An Olympic and Paralympic School-Based Education Program would provide students with the opportunity to learn about the Olympic and Paralympic movements and ideals, potentially engage in 2028 Games-related events and activities, and facilitate links to schools in other nations.

Potential community partnerships include the Los Angeles Unified School District, Parent Advisory Groups, and community-based youth organizations.

Constraints & Limitations:

Qualified coaches and instructors.

Youth Internships From now until just after the Closing Ceremonies for the Paralympics the 2028 Games will place an increased demand on City of Carson staff.

Particularly around Games-time, it is important that staff are not just available but are also aware of the role and responsibilities of the City in relation to the event.

This is often in the form of tacit knowledge gained through working on a project over an extended period.

To assist the City, and to provide an opportunity for City-based students to engage with the 2028 Games, the City may wish to consider a youth internship program for the summers of 2026, 2027, and 2028.

This might include the assignment of students to specific departments.

Cultural Program
The LA28-sponsored Cultural Olympiad could provide an opportunity for the City of Carson to strengthen and showcase the City’s arts, culture, and heritage to the world – before and during the Games.

A cultural program could build on the success of existing cultural festivals and exhibits in collaboration with the cultural and business communities in the City of Carson – to develop a series of programs and events, and opportunities to support artists, performers, and organizations.

The 2028 Cultural Olympiad could provide two opportunities:
a. to work in partnership with LA28, the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture and the City of Los Angeles to “piggy-back” on the expansive LA 28 Cultural Olympiad program, once it is defined, for activities in the City of Carson; and
b. Independently develop and fund a program of cultural and arts activities specific to and unique to the City of Carson
Target Audience:

See Appendix 9.9 Legacy Building Projects – Staff Hours Cost Drivers:

The cost of initiating such a program would be staff intensive and would likely include a significant investment in fixed costs that would not be recoverable.

Vetting and approving potential hosts may come with some risk.

A working version of Legacy Building Projects – Order of Magnitude workbook was provided to City of Carson for cost considerations
Constraints & Limitations:

Collaboration with LA28 to reach out to National Olympic Committees in other countries would be needed.

Note: Airbnb is now an Official Sponsor of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), with one of its intended purposes being to provide a legacy to Host and Venue Cities. Therefore, there is the possibility that exclusivity restrictions exist that could inhibit the City’s ability to promote their own Home Stay Program. Clarification with LA28 would be needed.

Citywide Shopping
Program
A citywide Shopping Program could promote a vibrant shopping theme for businesses across the City.

The program could assist and coordinate the City of Carson businesses to raise their profiles in welcoming the world in 2028 with Olympic and Paralympic themed entertainment, lighting, and kiosks.

Note: This program could be integrated into the Economic Development initiative.

• Section 8 – City Advertising Space – Clean Zones
• Section 13 – Street Trading
• Section 20 – OCOG (LA28) Exclusive Rights
• Section 20.5 – Ambush Marketing and other infringement activities It is recommended, as an initial step, that the City initiate discussions with LA28 to determine the extent of all limitations or requirements which are defined in the Games Agreement, which may impact Citywide Street Shopping Program.

This program’s success largely depends on retaining visitors to Carson beyond the daily 2028 Games events. Business expectations will need to be managed.

Potential for collaboration with LA28, which may have established a 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games Speakers Bureau

Note: Working definitions for purposes of this report
Both “Live” and “Celebration” sites/zones are frequently described as “fan zones.” In this case, the basic difference between “Live” and “Celebration” sites is the scale and scope of each.

A “Celebration” site normally includes the features of a “Live” site, but a “Live” site does not encompass the full range of features found at a “Celebration” site.

Because “Live” sites are designed to attract smaller attendances and the cost per site is significantly lower than a “Celebration” site, there are normally multiple “Live” sites spread across a host or venue city.

A “Celebration” site requires a much larger footprint and considerably more infrastructure – both permanent and temporary.

There may be some limited crossovers from the two types of sites.

7 Economic Development Opportunities
The 2028 Games present a significant opportunity to accelerate the City of Carson’s economic development goals, creating lasting benefits for local businesses and the community. By capitalizing on the global attention and influx of visitors, the City can foster economic growth, showcase its unique business landscape, and attract new investment. Key areas of focus for economic development include:

7.1 Preparation and Support for Small Businesses
A core objective is to protect and support Carson's small business community before, during, and after the Games. The influx of visitors will create both opportunities and challenges, from increased demand to new logistical needs. The City should develop a comprehensive small business support strategy that includes:
• Business Readiness Programs: Hosting workshops and information sessions for local businesses to discuss operational readiness, marketing opportunities, and how to manage increased traffic and visitor needs.
Financial Planning Workshops: Offer seminars on managing event-driven cash flow, accessing short- term capital, and pricing strategies.
Marketing & Digital Presence Bootcamps: Train businesses on leveraging social media, updating online listings (e.g., Google Maps), and creating targeted promotions to attract visitors. Customer Service Excellence Training: Provide workshops focused on hospitality, cross-cultural communication, and serving international visitors, potentially including basic language guides. Operational & Logistics Sessions: Host information sessions on managing increased foot traffic, adjusting operating hours, supply chain considerations, and local permitting. • Promotional Support: Creating dedicated space on the City's website and in promotional materials to advertise local Carson businesses to visitors and a global audience. "Carson-First" Digital Hub: Create a dedicated section on the city's website featuring a searchable directory of local businesses, restaurants, and attractions. Visitor-Facing Marketing Materials: Produce high-quality printed maps, brochures, and digital guides that highlight local businesses at hotels, event venues, and information kiosks. Social Media & Influencer Campaigns: Partner with travel bloggers and influencers to showcase Carson's hidden gems and unique local businesses in the lead-up to the Games. • Resource Provision: Developing and distributing resources, such as key information in multiple languages and guides to local attractions, to help businesses better serve an international clientele. Multilingual Information Toolkits: Develop and distribute "Welcome Kits" for businesses containing key phrases, cultural tips, event schedules, and emergency contact information in multiple languages. Digital Resource Center: Create an online portal with downloadable templates for marketing, FAQs for visitors, and guides to local transportation and attractions. • Vendor Opportunities: Establishing a streamlined process for local businesses, including food trucks and temporary vendors, to participate in official celebration sites and other Games-related activities, ensuring they benefit directly from the economic activity.

Simplified Permitting Process: Establish a clear and streamlined application process for temporary vendor permits, food trucks, and pop-up shops.
Designated "Local Flavor" Zones: Create specific, high-traffic areas near official celebration sites reserved for Carson-based businesses and artisans to ensure they are central to the action. Supplier Diversity Program: Develop a database of local businesses that can provide services (e.g., catering, printing, transportation) to the event organizers and their corporate partners.

7.2 Tourism and Investment Attraction
The Games offer an unparalleled platform to promote Carson as a destination for tourism, events, and investment.
• Showcasing Carson: The City has an opportunity to introduce a global audience to its vibrant arts, diverse culture, and dynamic businesses. This can be achieved through partnerships with media, coordinated marketing campaigns, and by creating a welcoming and attractive cityscape. City Beautification and Wayfinding: Invest in improved signage, public art installations, and beautification projects in key commercial corridors to create a welcoming and memorable cityscape. Curated Itineraries: Develop and promote themed itineraries like "A Taste of Carson's Global Cuisine," "Carson's Cultural Hotspots," or "Family Fun in Carson." Media Familiarization Tours: Proactively invite international and national media for guided tours to generate positive press and highlight investment opportunities. • Economic Hosting and Protocol: Establishing a formal protocol for welcoming and hosting visiting dignitaries, athletic delegations, National Olympic Committees (NOCs), and International Sports Federations.

These interactions, which may begin well before 2028 as teams visit for training and site reconnaissance, are early opportunities to build relationships and promote Carson for future investment and tourism. Pre-Games Relationship Building: Actively engage with NOCs and sports federations that may be visiting for training, offering logistical support and customized tours to showcase Carson's business- friendly environment.
"Carson House" Investment Hub: Establish a temporary hospitality and business lounge during the Games to host meetings between visiting executives, potential investors, and local business leaders. Dignitary Welcome Program: Create a formal protocol for greeting and hosting visiting delegations that includes curated economic development presentations and networking opportunities. • Partnerships: Collaborating with key partners like California State University Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) and Dignity Health Sports Park to create integrated economic hosting programs that highlight the region's strengths as a hub for sports, education, and business. University & Health System Collaboration: Work with CSUDH and Dignity Health Sports Park to create joint programs, such as sports medicine symposiums or technology showcases, that attract industry leaders.
Corporate Partner Integration: Collaborate with official Olympic sponsors to feature local businesses in their promotional activities or supply chains.
Regional Tourism Alliance: Partner with neighboring cities and tourism boards to create a unified regional promotion strategy that encourages visitors to extend their stay and explore the wider area.

Recommendation Actionable Steps
Infrastructure & Public

Smart City Initiatives: Implement public Wi-Fi in key areas, digital information kiosks, and smart parking solutions. Transportation Enhancements: Improve first-mile/last-mile connections to event venues and transit hubs, such as bike-share programs, dedicated shuttle routes, and improved pedestrian walkways.

8 Financial Considerations
Financial considerations for the City of Carson will be driven by several factors including the city’s normal and customary services, discretionary and non-discretionary costs, cost recovery opportunities, and available sources of revenue. A proactive and comprehensive financial management strategy is essential to ensure the City can successfully deliver on its commitments while protecting its fiscal health.

The costs associated with the Games can be segmented into two main categories: non-discretionary costs, which are contractually required services, and controllable costs, where the City maintains significant control over service levels and expenditures.

8.1 Cost Drivers
The primary cost drivers for the City’s involvement in the 2028 Games are concentrated in four key areas: city-led celebration sites, staffing and administration, infrastructure, and public safety and security. • Celebration Sites: As a discretionary initiative, the cost of hosting one or more Celebration Sites is controllable but will be significant. Key drivers include:
The size of the site footprint, days and hours of operation, and attendance levels. The scale of ancillary operations, including live entertainment, performances, and vendor support. Infrastructure requirements, such as stages, lighting, large-format screens, and sanitation facilities. Security, as these sites will fall outside the official LA28 security perimeter and will be the City’s responsibility to secure.
• Staffing and Administration: This represents a major controllable cost (Segment 4) that will span all phases of the Games lifecycle. It encompasses the cost of supporting the planning, coordination, and administration required to deliver all Games-related services. Key drivers include:
The amount of staff time from existing employees across all departments dedicated to planning and coordination.
The potential need for a backfill policy to reassign the regular duties of staff who are heavily engaged in the Olympic initiative.
The hiring of new, temporary staff to support peak activity during the Games-time delivery phase. • Infrastructure: While LA28 is responsible for venue-specific construction, the City will incur costs related to municipal infrastructure. Key drivers include:
The wear and tear on city access roads, parking, and loading areas due to heavy vehicle usage for Games operations, which may necessitate post-Games remedial work. City beautification efforts to enhance the look of Carson, including the installation and subsequent decommissioning of banners, street art, and other themed elements. The execution of the City’s own capital improvement projects, such as traffic signal upgrades and street improvements, which are vital for Games-time operations. • Public Safety and Security: This is a non-discretionary cost (Segment 2) that will be required outside the official Games Footprint. Key drivers include:
The need to scale up city-wide public safety, policing, and emergency services to manage the influx of visitors.

The security requirements for any city-managed events, such as the Celebration Site. Potential costs associated with establishing mutual aid agreements with regional partners to supplement law enforcement and emergency response capacity.

8.2 Financial Offset and Revenue Generation Opportunities To mitigate these costs, the City should aggressively pursue a multi-faceted financial strategy that combines direct cost recovery, fundraising, strategic partnerships, and revenue generation. • Cost Recovery from LA28: The most significant financial offset opportunity lies in the Games Agreement (Section 7), which allows the City to be reimbursed for the cost of providing "Enhanced City Resources." While the City must cover the "normal and customary" baseline of services, any service levels required by LA28 above that baseline within the Games Footprint are fully recoverable. Maximizing this requires:
A clearly defined and agreed-upon baseline for all "normal and customary" services. Meticulous tracking and documentation of all incremental staff hours and resources provided. • Grants and Fundraising: The City should actively pursue external funding sources. Grants: Applications should be made to programs such as the L.A. Metro grant for community events. Fundraising: A dedicated fundraising initiative should be established to support discretionary programs like the Celebration Site.
• In-Kind Agreements and Strategic Partnerships:
The City can negotiate in-kind agreements with partner nations to help fund the establishment of "Cultural Houses" or with neighboring counties to share costs for regional participation in city-led events. Partnering with local media companies, such as Thunder Studios, could provide content production and media support at a reduced cost.
• Revenue Generation Potential: The City should develop a comprehensive strategy to capitalize on direct revenue opportunities.
Parking: A managed parking strategy can be implemented to generate revenue from the large volume of visitors.
Facility Rentals and Permits: Revenue can be generated from fees for business licenses, temporary vendor permits (including food trucks), and the rental of any city-owned facilities or assets for Games- related activities outside the official LA28 footprint. A clear policy must be established to differentiate between LA28-affiliated groups and independent commercial entities.

9.7 Games and Venue Register
A working version of this document has been provided to the City of Carson, as this document should be updated as operational work progresses.

Purpose
The purpose of the Games and Venue Register is to provide a source of validated information that can be shared and used by City of Carson staff and council.

By sharing validated information staff and council will be able to operate with the same set of assumptions and internal and external communications will benefit.

Without a common source of information, assumptions may differ depending on the individual and their sources of information. It will also assist in the on-boarding process for new staff and City of Carson volunteers.

The information will change from now until the Games in 2028 and it is important that a change log be maintained, and any changes are logged and the source of the information noted.

The authority to change the Games and Venue Register should be limited to a small number of senior staff.

A template spreadsheet has been created and shared with City of Carson staff. The template can be reformatted as needed – the most important aspect is that the information is maintained by an assigned individual.

Games Register
This section should be read in association with the Games Register section of the 2028 Games and Venue Registers provided to the City of Carson. Changes to the Games Register spreadsheet should be recorded and logged as to the date and the source.

Tab Purpose
General Some baseline information with LA28 as the primary source.

The expected date for the arrival of media is important as it normally a few days before competition starts but stories still must be filed. 2028 Games by Numbers The first section is for the entire 2028 Games, and the second section focuses on the City of Carson. LA28 is again a primary source of information. Some of the categories are very detailed and they may be difficult to source. The most important element is to be aware that these categories of Games participants will be present during the Games and if estimates need to be used that they are reasonable.

Celebration & Live Sites General information that can be expanded as plans progress e.g. number of performers, nightly headliners etc.

Change Log A template that can be adjusted and further developed.

Venue Register
This section should be read in association with the Venue Register section of the 2028 Games and Venue Registers provided to the City of Carson. Changes to the Venue Register spreadsheet should be recorded and logged as to the date and the source.

The spreadsheet is based on the schedule issued by LA28 on November 13, 2025.

Highlights Impacts to be considered
Competition at Carson Sports Park starts 2 days
before Opening Ceremonies.

It is important that messaging to the community and city staff emphasize the early start date rather than the date of the Opening Ceremony.

There is a single competition (Track Cycling) at
Carson Sports Park on the day of the Closing
Ceremony.

Messaging to City Staff and the community that
competition is not over at CSP until early afternoon on July 30.

It is likely that decommissioning of some areas within
Carson Sports Park will start before competition is
complete.

LA28 should communicate the decommissioning plan
(and commissioning plan) for CSP to the City of Carson
as the volume of heavy traffic will impact the surrounding community’s “return to normal.”
There are 18 days of competition with no activity on
July 14 on account of the Opening Ceremony.
• There is a total of 109 event sessions.
• Days 13 – 16 has the most sports active with 4.
• Day 13 – the most sessions with 11 followed by
days 11-12 with 9 sessions each day.
• The heaviest activity will be from day 7 – 13 (7
days) with 62 of the 109 sessions falling within
that time.

Most likely scenarios based on an *estimated 100%
ticketed attendance:
• Competition days 1-6 90,000
• Competition days 7 – 13 100,000
• Competition days 14-18 **60,000
*KPMG estimate as a working assumption – needs to be
validated by LA28.
**Average is lowered by 1 event on competition day 18.

Note – in addition to ticketed attendance there will be a significant (in the thousands) workforce on site each day.

The highlights provide an insight into the level of activity in and around Carson Sports Park on each day.

The estimated attendance figure is based on tickets rather than unique individuals which will be a lesser number.

For example, on competition day 1 there are two sessions for Rugby Sevens. A spectator buying a ticket for each
session counts as two tickets although it is only one
individual.

If 50% of tickets sold on day 1 of Rugby sevens are
purchased by individuals attending both sessions, then – assuming a sellout) then total attendance will be recorded as 54,000. However, only 40,500 individuals will attend that day.

It is important to clarify in discussions what metric is being used i.e. tickets sold or individuals attending. It is most likely that LA28 will use the former for attendance and the latter for estimating vendor sales.

If the Celebration Site considers spectators a Target
Audience, then discounting ticket sales to account for
unique visitors is important.

The earliest start to a competition day is 8:45 AM
but it an outlier on day 14.

The normal starting time for competition is 9:00 AM.

The earliest finish is 22:00 apart from day 14 –
12:45 PM.

The latest finish is midnight.

LA28 will develop a detailed daily schedule for each day which will show when regular staff arrive, gates open etc. and likewise on “closure”.

The competition schedule only shows the starting time of competition and not the hours before required for
preparation.

Highlights Impacts to be considered
If the Celebration Site considers spectators as a Target Audience, then the finish time each day is of great
importance.

City Services need to be aware of these times in terms of their operational planning, and the competition finish times will impact on the surrounding community.

There also must be consideration for the fleet of buses that will leave the site at the conclusion of the day’s competition schedule.

No Paralympic schedule as of November 13, 2025 The City needs to add the Paralympic schedule to the Venue Register spreadsheet when it is announced.

9.8 Milestones
A working version of this document has been provided to the City of Carson, as this document should be updated as operational work progresses.

Purpose
To provide a summary of key dates generated from various sources to help guide the City of Carson in their preparations.

Clarification
There are numerous milestones within this section, and some will have a direct impact on Carson’s preparations.

Others have been included as they may have a secondary or tertiary impact.

Such examples would include deliverables contained in the LA28 and City of Los Angeles agreement.

These deliverables are likely to generate media and public interest and as a Venue City, the City of Carson should be prepared for the possibility it may have to field questions relating to the impact of Carson.

It should also be noted that some of the LA28 deliverables may be consolidated into a wider range plan.

For example, the Impact and Sustainability Plan issued in August 2025 includes but is not limited to the following.

Economic Empowerment

Youth Sports

Healthy Environment
Business Ethics & Anti-Corruption

Human Rights Accessibility

SUMMARY
Under the Bylaws of the Carson Reclamation Authority, as amended in 2021, the Chair of Community Facilities Districts No. 2012-1 and 2012-2 ("CFD 2012-1 and 2012-2") nominates one person to be a member of the Carson Reclamation Authority Board. By separate action on this agenda, the Chair of the Housing Authority nominates and the Housing Authority Board ratifies three members of the Carson Reclamation Authority Board: a member of the Planning Commission, a member of the Environmental Commission or the Public Works Commission; and a member of the Economic Development Commission. The ability of Community Facility District No. 2012-2 to levy taxes or issue debt was terminated in November, 2024.

There are four members to be appointed, three by action of the Housing Authority and one by action of the CFD Boards.

The first action would be for the Chair to nominate and the Board to ratify one member from each of the Planning Commission, the Environmental Commission or the Public Works Commission, and the Economic Development Commission, to serve on the Carson Reclamation Authority for five-year terms, subject to continued qualification.

The second action would be for the Chair of CFD 2012-1 and CFD No. 2012-2 to nominate and the Board to ratify one member to serve on the Carson Reclamation Authority for a five-year term. The current term expires on January 21, 2026.

II. RECOMMENDATION

1. ACTING AS THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD,
NOMINATE and RATIFY the appointment of a member of the Carson Planning Commission to a five-year term on the Carson Reclamation Authority, subject to continued qualification.

NOMINATE and RATIFY the appointment of a member of the Carson Environmental Commission or the Carson Public Works Commission to a five-year term on the Carson Reclamation Authority, subject to continued qualification.

NOMINATE and RATIFY the appointment of a member of the Carson Economic Development Commission to a five-year term on the Carson Reclamation Authority, subject to continued qualification.

2. ACTING AS THE BOARDS OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2012-1 AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2012-2, NOMINATE and RATIFY one member to a five-year term on the Carson Reclamation Authority.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the Board deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
The Carson Reclamation Authority is a joint powers agency formed between the Carson Housing Authority, the Community Facilities District No. 2012-1 of the City of Carson, and the Community Facilities District No. 2012-2 of the City of Carson. (Any liens placed or debt issued by CFD No. 2012-2 were terminated in November, 2024.) Pursuant to its bylaws and joint exercise of powers agreement, the Reclamation Authority is governed by a five member board of directors whose membership is made by category, and generally appointed by the Chairman of the Carson Housing Authority subject to ratification by a majority vote of the Housing Authority Board, with the exception of one appointment made by the Board of the Community Facilities Districts. These are those appointments. Individuals who qualify to serve on the Reclamation Authority Board have a term of five years unless the Reclamation Authority’s board of directors, by a majority, vote to remove the individual, or in the case of the members appointed by the Housing Authority, unless they are otherwise unqualified such as longer being seated on their respective City commissions.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

VI. EXHIBITS
