1 TO: City Council
FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
MEETING DATE: July 18, 2023
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of Establishing a 60th Anniversary Ad Hoc Committee
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the possibility of establishing an ad hoc committee for Lomita’s 60-year Anniversary celebration.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
At your last meeting, the Council directed staff to place this item on an agenda for discussion.
In 2006/2007, the City celebrated the centennial of Lomita’s founding by hosting a number of events and activities including a Hoedown and Street Dance at the Railroad Museum (as a pre-centennial kickoff), Centennial Parade, Founder’s Day (Hometown Fair), 5K Run/Walk, Golf Tournament, installation of centennial banners along Lomita Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway, the release of the Lomita history book, the Lomita – A Century Remembered and an Appreciation Reception for sponsors, committee members and city staff.
At that time, the Founder’s Day Ad Hoc Committee served dual roles as both the Founder’s Day and Centennial Ad Hoc Committee. The Committee consisted of current Council Member Mark Waronek and former Council Member Susie Dever.
If the Council has a desire to establish a 60th Anniversary Ad Hoc Committee, these duties could be added to those of the existing Founder’s Day Subcommittee or create a separate committee and appoint two members.
OPTIONS:
1) Establish committee and appoint members.
2) Provide alternative direction.
