CONTACT: DIANE STRICKFADEN, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES Councilmember Horvath explained he pulled this item as he does not agree with it and feels City Council went too far as it relates to City Council salaries.
Councilmember Emdee noted the Redondo Beach City Council is already one of the highest paid Council; reported other options were presented when the item was originally discussed and objected to the large increase of 80% in salary:
Councilmember Obagi reported this is the first increase since 2007 and believed that by raising the City Council salary, the City will get more and better City Council candidates.
Councilmember Loewenstein explained the City is trying to attract people to serve as City Councilmembers; noted the increases will impact certain Councilmembers in 2023 and others in 2024 and none of the current Councilmembers will benefit from it; reported it does not involve a large amount of money; commented on the

subsidy given to the Chamber of Commerce and stated he believes this is the right thing to do.
Councilmember Emdee suggested people will be attracted to City Council positions by Council not playing hate games and having people's reputations dragged through the mud, unnecessarily. She added that she does not object to increasing salaries, but objects to increasing it so much and so quickly.
Mayor Pro Tem Nehrenheim commented on a personal lawsuit waged against him; disagreed with Councilmember Emdee' s comments regarding City Council being the highest paid in the area; spoke about the cell phone allowance; discussed Councilmember Horvath's use of a private email service to handle City business and felt decision -makers should be paid for the time taken away from family and friends.
Councilmember Horvath explained his use of a private service noting the City only has a 30 -day retention policy.
Mayor Pro Tem Nehrenheim agreed the City's retention policy should be much more than thirty days and supported paying a professional wage for professional services.
Mayor Pro Tem Nehrenheim invited public comments on this item.
Candice Nafissi, via Zoom, spoke in support of the pay increase for City Council; noted Redondo Beach is a unique city; reported everyone on the dais spends more than twenty-five hours a week on City business; stated no one does the job for the money, but felt the increase changes the game and indicated Councilmembers do not give themselves enough credit.
Chief Deputy City Clerk Vickie Kroneberger, via Zoom, read an eComment submitted by Jill Klausen.
Carissa Gallardo felt City Council is under -compensated; noted the raise does not involve a lot of money and supported the increase.

Councilmember Loewenstein noted the request is for a substantial increase and asked for an explanation.
Community Development Director Brandy Forbes reported the biggest impact was the City's Housing Element; noted the City had to look at rezoning and changing land uses; indicated there were several additional community meetings needed to discuss the matter as well as doing a build -out analysis as it had to revise the Housing Element multiple times. Additionally, there were new regulations regarding CEQA which the City had to review and noted there is still the need for a level -of -service evaluation.

Joan Irvine, District 1, spoke about volunteering; commented on the cannabis initiative; apologized to Allen Sanford about comments made regarding the recent Beach Life Ranch event related to Catalyst having a booth at the event promoting the initiative; noted Catalyst signed up as the Economic Development Reform of Manhattan Beach and reported Mr. Sanford immediately shut them down when he found out who they were.
Anthony, District 1, agreed with Mr. Mann' s comments and asked for additional time so that both those who are against it and those who are for it have an opportunity to have their voices heard.
Holly Osborne, District 5, spoke about SB 1425 regarding the Open Space Element; discussed ADU owners who pave over green space and urged the City to preserve open space.
Wayne Craig spoke about 47 items included in the L.A. County ballot; noted when local initiatives are included in County ballots, people usually do not vote for them; felt City Council wisely separated its initiatives from the County ballot by scheduling a special election and reported the City is saving money by having a special election in October.
Lezlie Campeggi said the reason the City is spending money for a special election is because of one person, Elliott Lewis, who came to the beach cities spending a lot of money trying to control the City's elections and control City laws and urged residents to read the fine print on election materials.
Lina Carrillo, President, Redondo Beach Professional and Supervisory Association, spoke about an item previously considered by City Council relative to a one-time $ 20,000 raise to Public Works Employees represented by Teamsters; noted it left out seven Public Works employees that directly supervised the Teamsters employees and asked that City Council reconsider the item and extend the same one-time $20,000 raise to the group of seven employees.
Rita Horra spoke in opposition to construction of a dog park at Czuleger Park.
Carissa Gallardo urged voters to vote "No" on the recall.
Maggie Healy, via Zoom, said Councilmembers Loewenstein, Obagi and Mayor Pro Tem Nehrenheim violated the Brown Act when they changed agenda items late at night and voted, without notice to the public, specifically related to the special election; that the intent was to confuse the recall with the cannabis issue and take advantage of low voter turnout; that residents should have been noticed and given an opportunity to comment; referenced an open letter from the League of Women Voters rebuking Council' s actions and another letter from the Fraud and Corruption Bureau of the Los Angeles District Attorney claiming that Council violated the spirit of the Brown Act; discussed Council' s prior action to increase Council salaries and that this is how corruption begins in City government.
Candice Nafissi, via Zoom, urged the public to not be fooled by the information Elliott Lewis is sending to Redondo Beach residents; asked that voters vote "No" on Measure E; requested that Council have increased interactions with Metro and County Supervisors regarding the Green Line and that Council consider sending a letter on behalf of the City and announced that Beryl Elementary School will hold a Trunk or Treat event on October 30, 2022 and the Second Annual Spooktacular event hosted by the 500/600 Block of North Paulina.
Nancy Skiba, District 4, via Zoom, reported Elliott Lewis was recently knocking on Redondo Beach residents' doors asking young people to vote in support of Measure E; spoke about libelous personal attacks and defamation of Councilmember Obagi and urged residents to vote against Measure E and against the recall.

There being no objections, Mayor Pro Tem Nehrenheim so ordered.
Community Development Director Forbes introduced the item and deferred to Associate Planner Stacey Kinsella for a report.
Associate Planner Kinsella narrated a PowerPoint presentation with details of the Administrative Report.
Mayor Pro Tem Nehrenheim invited public comments.
Charles Spence, Appellant, referenced a report about the property; reported the house is not structurally complete; noted it is not a Craftsman house as it was built in 1933; stated the outside rock is no complete and not part of the original architecture; spoke about a financial hardship; indicated the inside of the house has been rebuilt; that the house is not a historical resource and believed this is an uncompensated taking of the property. Additionally, he confirmed the house did not serve as a religious center and is located on two lots; noted the female engineer referenced did not contribute anything to the field; explained the house caught fire in 1983; stated the ordinance is vague and urged City Council to approve its removal from the historic resource list.
Discussion followed regarding the cost of the GPA report, the process for getting properties on the historic resources list, existing zoning, documentation of how the house was placed on the list of historic resources, the lack of significance in terms of people who lived in the house and plans for the house if it is removed from the historic resources list.
Discussion continued regarding restoration of historical resources, other properties that were taken off the historical resources list, findings made by the Preservation Commission and acknowledging that GPA is the subject expert.
Wayne Craig shared a similar case regarding his sister's house being designated a historic resource without a lot of research and were unable to sell the property without going through the process of removing it from the historic resources list.

Mayor Pro Tem Nehrenheim spoke about practices in other cities and saw no issue with keeping the light investigation in- house and signing an agreement with an outside firm.

In response to Councilmember Obagi, City Attorney Webb explained the process for civil cases versus criminal cases and whether the city attorney is appointed versus elected. He added that City Council has no role in the prosecution of criminal matters and noted there is a potential for City Council passing a law and it not being enforced.

City Engineer Winje narrated a PowerPoint presentation with details of a request to consider all way stop AWS) signs at eight intersections within Council District 4 and recommendations.
Councilmember Obagi reported that after the analysis did not meet the requisite level of resident support, an email was sent to residents who had requested stop signs to let them know seven of the eight intersections did not pass under the pre -approved flowchart; noted that the letter did not inform residents that if did not respond to the letter, their lack of response would be deemed a "no" vote and therefore, no action would be taken on it and referenced recommendations as to how the letter could be revised.
Mayor Pro Tem Nehrenheim opened public comments.
Hai Tran referenced eComments he submitted; stated he lives within 150 feet of the intersection of Huntington and Green; reported neither he nor his neighbor received a survey; noted that because of an existing fence, turning on that intersection is challenging; voiced support for the AWS at Huntington; commented on children walking to and from Adams Middle School and urged City Council to consider AWSs at other identified intersections.
Candice Nafissi, via Zoom, spoke about Public Works focusing on numbers; stated she had a similar situation on Paulina; urged the City to focus on what residents are saying and spoke in support of adding AWS at all proposed intersections.

Wayne Craig spoke about the independent statement on the ballot not referencing the City's ordinance as it was not yet in effect, adding that Councilmember Emdee' s opposition and statement that it was not time yet for a cannabis ordinance jeopardized the passing of the ordinance and created a bigger problem for the City.
City Attorney Webb spoke about the language City Council chose for the ballot question and felt it could be a source of a greater misunderstanding and suggested Council may want to point out that since then, the City has an ordinance that will go into effect in thirty days.
Rolf Strutzenberg, author of the ballot statement opposing Measure E and the rebuttal to the statement in favor of Measure E, discussed the statements; suggested adding information to the City's website and increased personal outreach and reported the rebuttal was handicapped by the delay in putting the City ordinance into effect.
