Discussion ensued between staff and Council Members regarding support for the proposed changes; appreciation for the work of the subcommittee and staff; items for future consideration including standardizing public safety fees for grassroots events, development of a consistent formula for determining costs based on factors such as attendance, venue, and event type, and creation of an objective process for evaluating off cycle special event sponsorship requests; inequity with the current practice of bringing indi victual requests directly to the City Council; and better serving applicants with a
subcommittee review process including an objective analysis framework.
Additional discussion ensued between staff and Council Members regarding appreciation to staff for their work and to the community for the connection their efforts foster; staff examination of public safety fees and ways to reduce them; the challenge of standardizing the off-cycle request process; general openness to most off-cycle requests that are for the $1,000 City sponsorship when they are not commercial in nature; the importance of ongoing public education and outreach to encourage applicants to submit during the annual cycle; support for the proposed policy as forward-looking and likely to reduce administrative burden on staff; and a suggestion to implement an intake form to track off-cycle submissions, collect basic event information, and identify patterns over time that could help the City better educate applicants and respond more effectively.
Further discussion ensued between staff and Council Members regarding clarification that no intake form currently exists for off-cycle requests; the current practice of collecting off cycle requests and following up with those applicants when the annual application period opens; the growing event profile of Culver City that contributes to an increase in late requests; agreement on the value of improved tracking; development of strategies to better educate the public about the application process; and the current special events grant application open through April 24.

Jack Galanty, speaking on behalf of Culver City Pride, expressed support for the proposed entertainment zone program; discussed creating more vibrant and connected events in the downtown area; economic benefits to downtown businesses; keeping the events low-cost, public, and community first; capturing event-day 33 April 13, 2026
spending; creating a festival atmosphere for signature City sponsored events; and the success of similar programs in other cities resulting in significant increased foot traffic to local businesses.

organization to activate the zone; the management plan that outlines program objectives, implementation requirements, and roles and responsibilities for the City, the OBA and
participating businesses; discretion as to which events are included; moderation to ensure events go well; other cities where events take place in an open street format; use of Third Wednesdays for the first activation; and the expectation that patrons get a drink and move toward event areas rather than congregating on sidewalks.
Michael Cobden, Deputy City Attorney, clarified that the existing laws governing overserving and public intoxication would remain fully in effect and would not be modified by the proposed ordinance; and he noted that the ordinance would relax only the specific rule prohibiting patrons from leaving a licensed premise with a beverage container, as required to allow the entertainment zone to function.
Additional discussion ensued between staff and Council Members regarding patrons moving through an open entertainment zone as consuming less alcohol than those remaining seated at a bar for an extended period before entering the public space; bringing business to restaurants and bars during activities; complaints that the Car Show does not bring business to downtown; size of the proposed business zone as comparable to the size of the Santa Monica Promenade; the distinction that Santa Monica's Promenade entertainment zone operates on a protected, car-free street, whereas the proposed Culver City zone would not include a full street closure; being mindful of differences during the pilot program; appreciation for the work of staff; potential 34 April 13, 2026
for the entertainment zone to drive foot traffic from street events into downtown restaurants and bars; the importance of public safety; appreciation to staff and the Mayor for their work and partnership on the item; confidence in the leadership of the OBA; and adjustments to be made as the pilot proceeds.

The following member of the public addressed the City Council:
Latrice Prudent, owner of a Culver City security guard
management company, discussed gaps in the security practices currently being carried out under the Good Guard contract; deficiencies observed when she and members of her team and the community have tested Good Guard security protocols; recommended that the number of guards be reduced and that the contract and policies and procedures be re-evaluated; and urged the City to consider using a local business that pays City taxes, noting that locally-based companies cannot compete with the lower hourly rates offered by outside firms, and that selecting solely on the basis of cost disadvantages small businesses operating in the community.
Discussion ensued between staff and Council Members regarding background and rationale for implementing security screening at Council Chambers in August 2024; multiple other City meetings without a security presence; consistency with the goal of 35 April 13, 2026
protection; being clear on the intent; studies on the impact of metal detectors; understanding what money is being spent on, why, and its effectiveness; history of the Good Guard contract; the current contract term; the Request for Proposals (RFP) process; theft of the bronze plaques; expansion of security services at Veterans Memorial Building and associated park patrols; the state of the country; the high profile nature of City Council meetings; the feeling of safety with CCPD present; openness to evaluation at the end of the contract;

Additional discussion ensued between staff and Council Members regarding community feedback indicating that implementation was a reaction to ceasefire resolution requests; concerns with a perception that some people are more threatening than others; lack of security prior to August 2024; practices of other area cities; support for reducing the security footprint; the feeling that the current practice does not increase a feeling of safety; annual cost for coverage at the Kirk Douglas Theater and City Hall; putting cost savings back into the General Fund; allowing the contract to expire; support for safety; the feeling of a place; protecting people vs. deterring them; political violence in society; deferring evaluation of the contractor to the RFP process at the end of the three-year term; support for the recommendation of the Chief; Culver City as potentially being an outlier in terms of security; and consensus was achieved to adopt the CCPD recommendation to remove one security guard, let the contract run out, and then engage in an RFP process.
