PUBLIC PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES
AND RULES OF CONDUCT
HOW TO PARTICIPATE – The City of Redondo Beach welcomes and encourages public participation in public city meeting. Members of the public are invited to participate in public meetings in person, via Zoom, by e-comments, and by email. All public meetings provide the public the ability to comment on Non-Agenda items and on agenda items being deliberated by the City Council.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS – Each agenda includes an agenda item for “Public Participation on Non-Agenda Items”. During this agenda item, the public may speak on any matter so long as the matter is:
1. Under the jurisdiction of the City Council; and,
2. Is not a matter already agendized during the same meeting.
Each speaker is allotted three minutes to speak under Public Participation on Non-Agenda Items.
Each speaker may only speak once. And the time allocated to Public Participation on NonAgenda Items is limited to 30 minutes.
The Mayor will recognize speakers by alternating, speaker-by-speaker, between (i) members of the public attending in person (with speakers who have submitted written speaking cards to be recognized first, followed by members of the public attending in person who have not submitted written speaking cards), on the one hand, and (ii) members of the public attending via Zoom on the other hand.
Pursuant to provisions of the Brown Act, the body is prohibited from deliberating and taking action on a matter unless it is listed on the agenda, or unless certain emergency or special circumstances exist. The body may make a “Referral to Staff” related to public comment during that agenda item.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON AGENDA ITEMS – For each agendized matter deliberated by the City Council, the Mayor will invite public comment at the appropriate time. Any member of the public may speak to the matter under discussion during this period provided the comments directly address the agenda item. Each speaker is allotted three minutes to speak to each agenda item.
Each speaker may only speak once on each agenda item. The Mayor will recognize speakers by alternating, speaker-by-speaker, between (i) members of the public attending in person (with speakers who have submitted written speaking cards to be recognized first, followed by members of the public attending in person who have not submitted written speaking cards), on the one hand, and (ii) members of the public attending via Zoom on the other hand.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION RULES OF CONDUCT AND DECORUM – The City of Redondo Beach recognizes and respects the right of freedom of speech, but rules of conduct and decorum must be observed so that attendees can be heard, and the City Council can conduct its meeting and deliberate and address items before the Council. Any person or group that engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct that impedes the meeting may be asked to leave, or be removed, and the Mayor may clear the room and continue without an audience, or the City Council may adjourn the meeting.
1. Speakers shall restrict their comments to the specific agenda item that they are speaking on or, on Non-Agenda Items, to matters within the Body’s subject matter jurisdiction.
Speakers should confine their remarks to those which are relevant to the subject under consideration. Speakers who do not follow these rules will be asked to cease, and if they do not comply, they will be ruled out of order on the grounds of relevancy and asked to leave the podium and possibly the meeting.
2. All comments should be addressed to the Body and not to other speakers or the audience.
3. Meeting attendees should act with dignity and respect and refrain from the use of profanity and obscenities in speech, on signs, and on clothing.
4. Meeting attendees shall be seated, when seating is available, unless recognized by the Mayor as a speaker or unless entering or leaving, or moving to and from a location within, the Council Chambers in a manner that does not seek to intimidate other attendees or block views of the proceedings. Meeting attendees shall strive to remain quiet during the proceedings and shall not hold up placards or signs that block the views of other attendees. Attendees may show support or opposition by silently raising and waving both hands for support (as opposed to clapping or cheering) or showing a “thumbs down” in opposition (as opposed to booing).
5. Disruptive and/or disorderly actions and behaviors by members of the public that may result in removal from the meeting are those that actually disrupt, disturb, impede or render infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and include, but are not limited to:
a. Refusal to leave the podium after the allotted time is exceeded. b. Refusal to leave the podium after the Mayor has determined that the comments are beyond the jurisdiction of the City Council and/or do not pertain to the matter under consideration in an agenda item.
c. Blocking the view or access of other attendees by standing, occupying the aisles, or by holding up a card a sign or placard that blocks the views of other members of the public, or by other obstruction of public views. d. Addressing the Council without being recognized by the Mayor. e. Yelling, screaming, making loud or unusual noises, or interrupting a recognized speaker.

PROGRAM
Community Services Director Hause noted that she had Housing Manager Imelda Delgado with her that evening and they had a couple of announcements for the RBHA; reported that the numbers on the slides were updated for the presentation so they may have some discrepancies from the report they all received.

- 256 elderly/183 disabled households of the 398

special programs: Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers and Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV); reported for VASH they have 28 leased up out of 50 and they administered 20 EHV; reported that they currently have 745 applications on their waiting list, they purge monthly by sending out approximately 100 letters, and if they do not get a response the applicants are withdrawn from the waiting list; reported that of the 745 waiting list applicants: 352 are families w/ children, 223 are elderly families, and 339 are families w/ disabilities; noted that they added the EHV participants to the waiting list to transition over to the Housing Choice Voucher or Section 8 Program and that is why 16 of the applicants live or work in Redondo Beach.
Chair Light asked staff if the Families with Children, Elderly Families, and Families with Disabilities categories are mutually exclusive or if there is overlap.
Community Services Director Hause replied that there is overlap.
Housing Manager Delgado reported that they received a notice on May 26th from HUD, which were the preliminary projections for 2026 and they indicated that the RBHA were not currently projected as at risk for shortfall in 2026 and RBHA continues to administer expenditure controls to avoid increasing program costs; spoke about the transition of the EHVs to the Housing Choice Voucher Program in order to stay financially healthy; reported that staff will implement a phased transition of EHV households to the Housing Choice Voucher Program based on voucher turnover, funding availability, and HUD guidance; announced that staff has scheduled a Special Housing Authority Meeting for June 16, 2026 to review and consider proposed revisions of the administrative plan regarding the policies and procedures governing the process for accepting applications for rental assistance on an annual basis as requested by the Board; stated staff’s recommendations for the Board that evening were to receive and file the Quarterly Status Report on the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) rental assistance program.
Community Services Director Hause acknowledged all the work the Housing team put in and highlighted that they are no longer in shortfall and that immediate action was taken to make sure each voucher holder could be put on the waitlist, while also handling the updates requested by the Board; reported that the Housing team is also operating at 50% staffing levels and still managed it all.
Member Kaluderovic recognized the work and effort the Housing team put in per the request from the Board; recalled that the EHVs were meant to help the unhoused during the pandemic and were meant to go through 2030 but the federal government cut funding; noted that now RBHA is scrambling to try to keep those families housed; asked staff if those families are prioritized in the City’s Section 8 voucher program as they come available.
Housing Manager Delgado responded that they are at the top of the list currently.
Member Kaluderovic stated that she heard there is a possibility that payments would not be funded past July for the EHV holders and asked staff if they knew whether payments would be extended.
Housing Manager Delgado reported that they have received funding through July and HUD

has promised to fund them through the end of the year, but they only receive funds from HUD when they run out.
Member Kaluderovic stated that it puts families and landlords in a difficult position but understood there isn’t a current alternative; thanked staff for staying on top of it.
Housing Manager Delgado said they will do their best to transition the families before they run out of funds.
Motion by Member Kaluderovic, seconded by Member Castle, to receive and file the quarterly status report on the Section 8 Program.

directed them to come back to provide updates and amendments to how they manage their waitlist.
Housing Manager Imelda Delgado stated that the RBHA is a public housing agency that receives federal funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); spoke of HUD’s requirement that all public housing authorities have an approved Administrative Plan; stated that the application policies and procedures for accepting applications and purging the wait list had been amended as directed by Council; noted that the changes included accepting rental assistance applications until a designated date or when they reach 500, whichever comes first, then they sort them by preferences listed; stated that staff will pull applications from the waiting list as needed based on voucher and funding availability for a period of 12 months, after the 12 month cycle ends the waiting list is purged and new applications are accepted again; stated that staff recommends the Council approve the amended Administrative Plan and adopt Resolution HA-2026-04.
Councilmember Waller asked Housing Manager Delgado to explain the 12-month cycle and how people are notified to re-apply or apply.
Housing Manager Delgado responded that they will probably put all the information in the publication at the beginning of the process with the dates, explanation of the 12-month cycle, and the purging process; said they should send out letters to everyone remaining on the waiting list each time they will be withdrawn so they could reapply.
Councilmember Kaluderovic stated that the waiting list had been closed since 2015 and they had thousands on the waiting list; thanked staff for the work they have done and noted that they can now prioritize people correctly.

Administrative Report
Authority Action Date: August 18, 2026
To: CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY
From: ELIZABETH HAUSE, HOUSING ADMINISTRATOR
Subject: APPROVAL TO SUBMIT THE SECTION EIGHT MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (SEMAP) CERTIFICATION TO THE U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD)
URECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Housing Authority of the City of Redondo Beach to electronically submit the Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) certification to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for fiscal year 2025-2026.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing Authority of the City of Redondo Beach completed its annual quality control review consisting of 14 key indicators designed to measure performance. The quality control review determined that the Housing Authority of the City of Redondo Beach adequately administered the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) rental assistance program. This finding must be submitted to HUD no later than August 29, 2026.
BACKGROUND
In 1998, HUD introduced the SEMAP to be submitted by Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) annually. SEMAP is a management assessment system that is used to determine the performance of the PHAs administering the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) tenantbased rental assistance program.
Under SEMAP, HUD requires a review consisting of 14 key indicators including proper selection of applicants from the waiting list, accurate verification of family income, and timely housing quality standards inspections. The yearly process requires PHAs to submit an electronic certification form via the HUD portal to assure that all mandatory supervisory quality control reviews have been conducted. Upon completing the quality control process, the determination is that the Housing Authority has adequately and appropriately administered the Section 8 Program. This finding and formal report must be submitted to HUD no later than August 29, 2026.

Certification
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 12 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
This collection of information is required by 24 CFR sec 985.101 which requires a Public Housing Agency (PHA) administering a Section 8 tenant-based assistance program to submit an annual SEMAP Certification within 60 days after the end of its fiscal year. The information from the PHA concerns the performance of the PHA and provides assurance that there is no evidence of seriously deficient performance. HUD uses the information and other data to assess PHA management capabilities and deficiencies, and to assign an overall performance rating to the PHA. Responses are mandatory and the information collected does not lend itself to confidentiality.
Instructions Respond to this certification form using the PHA’s actual data for the fiscal year just ended.
PHA Name For PHA FY Ending (mm/dd/yyyy) Submission Date (mm/dd/yyyy) Check here if the PHA expends less than $300,000 a year in Federal awards Indicators 1 - 7 will not be rated if the PHA expends less than $300,000 a year in Federal awards and its Section 8 programs are not audited for compliance with regulations by an independent auditor. A PHA that expends less than $300,000 in Federal awards in a year must still complete the certification for these indicators.
Performance Indicators
1. Selection from the Waiting List. (24 CFR 982.54(d)(1) and 982.204(a)) (a) The PHA has written policies in its administrative plan for selecting applicants from the waiting list.
PHA Response Yes No
(b) The PHA’s quality control samples of applicants reaching the top of the waiting list and of admissions show that at least 98% of the families in the samples were selected from the waiting list for admission in accordance with the PHA’s policies and met the selection criteria that determined their places on the waiting list and their order of selection.
PHA Response Yes No
2. Reasonable Rent. (24 CFR 982.4, 982.54(d)(15), 982.158(f)(7) and 982.507) (a) The PHA has and implements a reasonable written method to determine and document for each unit leased that the rent to owner is reasonable based on current rents for comparable unassisted units (i) at the time of initial leasing, (ii) before any increase in the rent to owner, and (iii) at the HAP contract anniversary if there is a 5 percent decrease in the published FMR in effect 60 days before the HAP contract anniversary. The PHA’s method takes into consideration the location, size, type, quality, and age of the program unit and of similar unassisted units, and any amenities, housing services, maintenance or utilities provided by the owners.
PHA Response Yes No
(b) The PHA’s quality control sample of tenant files for which a determination of reasonable rent was required shows that the PHA followed its written method to determine reasonable rent and documented its determination that the rent to owner is reasonable as required for (check one):
PHA Response At least 98% of units sampled 80 to 97% of units sampled Less than 80% of units sampled
