D. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS
Joan Irvine, District 1, noted, at the May 6, 2025 City Council meeting, Council approved an additional $300,000 plus for the Southern California Park, which brought the total over a million dollars; stated that, even though there are significant budget constraints, the decision was justified because too much time and money had already been invested and the Council did not want to second guess prior City Council decisions; stated that set a precedent; felt the same logic needs to be applied to the cannabis policy, noted that the City has spent eight years and millions of dollars in staff time and consulting fees.
Mayor Light interjected to state this item does not fall under the Community Financing Authority, which is only related to the Kincaid’s area of the Harbor; asked the City Manager if he was correct.
City Manager Witzansky wondered if Joan Irvine wanted to speak to something that is later on in the agenda.
Joan Irvine said she wanted to speak about financial responsibility.
City Manager Witzansky stated that is not the purview of this authority.

Approve check number 000564 through 000565 in the total amount of $2,260.94.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The attached Summary Check Register lists check numbers 000564 through 000565 in the total amount of $2,260.94. Check number 000564 is to reimburse the City for expenses paid by the City on behalf of the Community Financing Authority. Check number 000565 is a payment to the City for quarterly sewer fees.
BACKGROUND
The Redondo Beach Public Financing Authority (“PFA”), a joint powers authority, was formed on June 25, 1996, to provide financing for capital improvement projects. The former Redevelopment Agency of the City Redondo Beach, now known as the Successor Agency (“Agency”), joined with the City to form the PFA. The PFA operated rental property and issued bonds to provide funds for public capital improvements. The PFA has the same governing board as the City, which also performs all accounting and administrative functions for the PFA. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency, the Public Financing Authority has been renamed the Community Financing Authority (“CFA”).
In 1997, the City leased the Pier pad known as 500 Fisherman’s Wharf to the PFA. The PFA leased the site and acts as building owner and landlord to its tenant, RUI One Corp. (“RUI” dba Kincaid’s). In negotiating the lease, the City was to own the building, but did not have the funding available to build the building. RUI had the ability to build the restaurant building at a lower cost than the City, and the PFA was able to obtain a loan to purchase the building. Thus, RUI built the restaurant building and the PFA utilized loan funds to purchase the building from RUI at completion.
Per the lease agreement, the City is responsible for the cost of monthly service costs for water, sewer, and trash; possessory interest taxes; common area expenses as defined; Administrative Report

and the repairs to the structural portions of the Building. On a monthly basis, the City is reimbursed for such expenses by the CFA.
The payment to the City of Redondo Beach on check number 000564 in the amount of $1,589.92 is for the reimbursement of July 2025 expenditures made by the City on the Community Financing Authority’s behalf.
The payment to the City of Redondo Beach on check number 000565 in the amount of $671.02 is for the April through June 2025 sewer fee in connection with the ownership of the Kincaid’s Restaurant building.

Disbursement of the checks will be coordinated with Financial Services.
