Redondo Beach City Council,
As you are aware, the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce operates on a very tight budget. That budget is being further stressed by escalating city fees, particularly as are applied to the Super Bowl 5K/ 10K.
The Chair, Chair-Elect, and President of the Chamber have addressed you at the last two City meetings, to highlight these significant challenges.
The below FY 2024/ 2025 Invoice was provided to Council in BRR # 31 .
DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION AMOUNT DUE
Business License Business License Tax, $ 34x1 day
Community Services Special Event Processing Fee 55. 00
Street Closure Permit/ inspection.
Public Works/ Eng. Div. ID/ signature required in Eng/ Door E $ 686. 00 Fire Fire Inspection Fee
Fire Dept Standby- paramedic
Fire/ Harbor Patrol fee 1, 252. 52
Waterfront/ Econ Dev Tidelands Revenues
Waterfront/ Econ Dev Uplands Revenues
Police Fees/ Staffing - 108 staff
Police/ Staffing hrs 17, 213. 82
Police/ Sound Variance Sound Variance Permit 79. 00
Police/ Parking Parking Meter Fees
Enforcement 62 spaces x 4 hrs 372. 00
Public Works Street Maintenance & Staff 28, 054. 78
Seaside Lagoon Reservation and
Community Services Entrance Fee 16,935. 00
SUBTOTAL $ 64, 648. 12
City of Redondo Beach Subsidy 1 0, 000)
TOTAL DUE: 54,648. 12
Cost Escalation: Super Bowl Sunday 10K FY 2023- 24 FY 2024- 25 Public Safety ( Police Fees/ Staff) 14, 580 17, 214
Public Works ( Street Maintenance/ Staff) 9, 946 28, 055 TOTAL 24, 526 45, 269
These fees have been escalating significantly over the past several years.
Until recent years, the City waived all or most of the fees for the event, recognizing its value to the community.
The 10K still generates net income, and, as the premier fundraiser for the Chamber, supports various other programs that contribute to the business vitality of the City, as well as popular community events.
Chamber activities operate on very limited budgets and only exist by the grace of numerous chamber volunteers who contribute their valuable time.
Although the Chamber values the cooperative camaraderie with public safety and public works, the City simply does not have the staffing levels to manage these volunteer- led events.
The Chamber sincerely appreciates the recent comments by The City Manager and the Police Chief, offering to work with the Chamber on identifying lower cost options for the security barricades.
Ever- rising fees can eventually threaten the economic viability of the event itself, as well as the various programs that it supports.
The 10K attracts thousands of participants and visitors, generating local business revenue, and enhancing the prestige of Redondo Beach.
I understand that our Chamber leadership will be requesting that the City Council provide a wiavers increase of $22K, for a total subsidy of $32K.
This increase would cover about half of the last year-to- year fee increases.
Please consider supporting this modest cost sharing partnership to ensure the continued viability of this wonderful community event.

What Street Do You Live On?
Formal Remarks on the City of Redondo Beach, California Proclamation in Honor of Juneteenth 2025
Marcus " Goodie" Goodloe, Ph. D.
June 17, 2025
In Galveston, Texas, there is a street formerly named after Confederate military commander Richard " Dick" Dowling. Although some claimed the street honored Dowling' s role in co-founding the Houston City Fire Department, many African Americans were all too aware of the inhumanity, hatred, and violence the former Confederate leader had promoted. Dowling Street was a constant reminder of past violence and racism.
In a 2017 Juneteenth ceremony, the street' s name was finally changed to Emancipation Street. Today, it is a street that Texans and all people of goodwill can take pride in.
I am honored to accept this proclamation on behalf of those who were committed to living in a nation where the color of their skin would not determine the streets on which they could live, or their human worth. I accept this proclamation as a reminder for us all to live considering the question: " What street do you live on?" This question shifts our focus from an inward perspective to a concern for others. It asks of others, ' Tell me your hopes, fears.' The question says, ` I see you, regardless of your last name, income bracket, educational level, or immigration status.' It encourages us to be curious about the well-being of others. May we be intentional in our care for one another, resilient in our commitment to treat the needs of others as sacred, and unwavering in our dedication to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our creator.
As you encounter someone who looks different from you, my fervent prayer, in honor of Juneteenth 2025, is that you will pause and ask them: " What Street do you live on?"
Martin Luther King Jr. said that people " fear each other because they don' t know each other, and they don' t know each other because they don' t communicate with each other, and they don' t communicate with each other because they are separated from each other." Here on the streets where we live, may we move from fear and separation and assumptions to curiosity and communication and relationships. 1
