CAUTION: Email is from an external source; Stop, Look, and Think before opening attachments or links.
Now that she's holding meetings at BCHD where funds are exchanged between agencies, that clearly seems like a conflict of interest.
Councilmember Kaluderovic announced her District 3 Community Meeting would be held on Friday, September 19th at 6:00 p.m. on the Beach Cities Health Campus in their meeting room; announced Swim the Avenues is that Saturday and Dine-Around-Artesia is on the 10th; stated she would be going to the Executive Committee for Regional Homeless Alignment Meeting on Friday.

Public Comment - Mayors and Councils
BCHD ALLCOVE IS A RISKY $100M+ SCHEME
FACTS:
ALLCOVE service area is 91% non-residents of the District ALLCOVE current use is about 50% resident, subject to change BCHD states the ALLCOVE building cost to be in excess of $13M BCHD has raised a de minimis amount of funding for ALLCOVE's building beyond the large grant
BCHD and NOT the 91% non-residents will have a 30-year OBLIGATION for the building operation
BCHD and NOT the 91% non-residents will have a 30-year OBLIGATION for the PROGRAM operation
BCHD has NOT estimated the 30-year obligation
StopBCHD has estimated the 30-year obligation and it is $100M to $120M for direct operations
BCHD plans to legally commit the TAXPAYERS OF THE DISTRICT to over $100M in expenses with ALLCOVE for 91% NON-RESIDENTS.
THAT IS NOT A PRUDENT ACTION.

Fyi - This photo shows that not only was BCHD posting about the new date for its September 2025 Board Meeting on social media on September 3 (13 days ahead of the meeting), there is a comment from “BCHD Over-Development” (which is connected to Mr. Nelson) accompanying the post.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Thank you,

EXTERNAL EMAIL - CAUTION
BCHD Board is concealing its actions from the public. The public deserves adequate advance provision of the agenda for monthly meetings. This is unlike the City that has weekly meetings. BCHD can only manage 10 meetings annually with vacation in the summer and holiday seasons.

Good evening, Mr. Mayor and City Council and Staff:
Holly Osborne, District 5.
I wish to present these charts to bring some of you up to speed on some of the issues with Metro on the ROW, because we have new people on the council. Some of these I presented two years ago, but obviously not the first one! It is straight from the FEIR (an update from a DEIR chart.)
These concern the ROW segment between Artesia and Grant; Comment: First diagram is from the FEIR; it shows how close the back yards are to the trains, in the Redondo section, Artesia to Grant. (The diagram says 7 ft from the property to the "LRT train structure"). That is close. (Breakwater village is on the right (west); the houses at the bottom of the embankment are on the east.) Second diagram, below, is my "cartoon map" of the Artesia to Grant stretch. I just want to emphasize, that for the "Hybrid ROW", the train goes straight across. It does NOT swerve close to the condos, the way the "plain vanilla" ROW option did.
Third diagram, below, shows the map done by retired engineer Wm. Hall from Redondo. He mapped the distances from the track centerline to the property boundary. (This was done quite a while ago with diagram from DEIR. See note below*. ) This engineer measured distances of 13-15 ft from LRT center track to the residential property line. . (Notice he included the cross-over positions of the LRT tracks in the above diagram; I did not because I cannot draw good curved lines in power point !)
*Note: The DEIR map shows a Redondo ROW width here of 101 ft. The FEIR map shows a ROW width of 100 ft. Recall that Metro re-surveyed everything. Their DEIR maps in the Appendix also had the ROW widths in the narrow part of the Lawndale ROW too wide (81 ft!) ; instead of 75 ft. That enabled them to "claim" more property as "theirs" without saying they were "taking" property.
Thank you.
PS There are also issues with the ROW near 182nd street;I do not specialize in that.
