Question:
What was the cultural and entertainment rental activity at the RBPAC in FY 2025-26, and what rental activity is expected in FY 2026-27? How does this compare to anticipated spending? Response:
By the end of FY 2025-26, the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center (RBPAC) will have been utilized for a total of 178 days. Of that total, the facility will have been used by fee-paying clients (Renters) for 153 days and used without charge for City events and activities for 25 days. The 153 rental days included 46 unique clients and 71 unique events.
At the conclusion of FY 2025-26, staff estimate total facility revenue to be approximately $1,084,330. However, some minor variability in the final revenue amount may occur due to fluctuations in actual event durations for upcoming events, which can affect total charges. It is important to note that three large dance competitions unexpectedly cancelled during FY 2025- 26 for various reasons, resulting in an estimated revenue loss of approximately $110,000.
Despite these cancellations, approximately 80% of the anticipated revenue was recovered through last-minute bookings and a three-day film shoot during Springfest.
During the North Redondo Beach Business Association’s (NRBBA) annual Springfest event, the parking lot adjacent to the RBPAC is utilized to support event operations, which eliminates standard rental activity at the facility during that period. For the 2026 event, this included a total of nine days, consisting of six weekdays and two weekend days. During this timeframe, the City was unable to accommodate one potential RBPAC rental opportunity, which would have resulted in $28,000 of estimated revenue. However, a last-minute three-day film shoot that did not require use of the parking lot generated $31,468 in revenue during the same period, effectively offsetting the projected loss.
The newly adopted 3% Maintenance Surcharge Fee was established as part of the FY 2025- 26 budget. While the surcharge was applied to new rentals, it was not collected for all FY 2025- 26 facility users because some clients had prepaid for rental dates prior to the implementation of the fee. In total, approximately $26,400 in new revenue was generated through the surcharge during FY 2025-26. Staff anticipates an additional 20-25% increase in collected surcharge revenue in FY 2026-27, which would reflect a full fiscal year of bookings under the updated fee structure.
The venue was additionally utilized for internal City events for a total of 25 days. These events were intentionally scheduled during less desirable rental periods in order to avoid displacement of revenue-generating uses.

Budget Response Report
#49 (Revised)
June 9, 2026
Question:
What is the cost to modify the pickleball court at Dale Page Park to address the uneven court surface?
Response:
The pickleball court at Dale Page Park was retrofitted onto an existing concrete surface in an effort to quickly provide this amenity at the park. Some players have complained that seams (expansion joints) between concrete panels are such that they degrade the quality of the games held here and have asked what might be done to address it.
Two alternatives have been considered. The first alternative would be the removal and replacement of the court using new concrete, surfacing, and striping. This approach would result in courts similar to the quality of courts recently installed at Alta Vista Park and an improved experience for quality competition. Because of the underlying use at the park by Southern California Edison (Edison), the court concrete would need to be 6- inches thick and steel reinforced. The budget level (order of magnitude) cost for demolition, concrete placement, surfacing, and striping, and assuming 20% for soft costs is approximately $65,000.
A second alternative would be to install a rigid court surface on top of the existing concrete. These proprietary products are available through cooperative purchasing agreements (like Sourcewell) and could be procured directly. A sample of one such manufacturer’s product is SportGame PB*. To protect the proprietary court surface from Edison and other service trucks, staff also recommends building a four-foot-high fence around the court. A simple chain link fence, with gates, is recommended for this purpose.
The budget level (order of magnitude) cost for procurement, preparation of existing surface, installation, fencing, and soft costs (20%) is approximately $55,000.
Permission from Edison would be required for both the construction and the addition of a fence. Securing permission for the fence from Edison is not guaranteed. * Sport Court. “SportGame PB Sales Sheet.” https://sportcourt.com/document/sportgame-pb-sales-sheet/
