Packet Pg. 607 Attachment: Written Comments (7171 : Labor Negotiations: ATA MEA, STA) Good afternoon City Manager Chi and City Council,
My name is Eric Johnson, current President of the Supervisory Team Association (STA), born at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, Santa Monica/Pico Neighborhood native, employee of the City of Santa Monica for over 27 years and a representative of professionals who give this organization its backbone — the supervisors who guide, mentor, and keep operations running smoothly every single day.

Our responsibilities have increased. The expectations on our shoulders have grown heavier.

We’ve adapted to new policies, absorbed additional workloads, covered staff shortages, and done all of it without complaint — because we care about our teams and the people we serve.

Let me be clear: this contract was accepted not because it met our expectations, but because we had to make a pragmatic decision in the face of difficult realities. We were cornered between a deal that feels inadequate and the risk of prolonged uncertainty that would have hurt our families even more. We came to the table with different options and minimal movement was made.

We did not make unreasonable demands. We demanded fairness. We demanded that our work be valued — not just in words, but in action. We were told there were limitations. We were told the budget couldn’t stretch further and there was no additional authority or money for compensation.

In the last council meeting, some members of council spoke candidly about being told there was no additional money for salaries for other bargaining units and magically there is higher compensation for specific unions/associations including a shorter contract. Is that equitable and inclusive?
This association stands united. We are prepared to take the necessary steps to ensure our voices are heard through continued negotiations and collaborations. As supervisors, our job is to find solutions. Let's work together.

We were not looking for conflict. We were looking for a contract that reflects our contribution, protects our working conditions, and provides a path forward that respects us as professionals.

To management, I say: You still have the opportunity to come back to the table with solutions.

Let’s build something sustainable.

On behalf of STA, we thank you for your time and consideration.

Thank you
Eric Johnson- STA President

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Dana Brown, Human Resources Director, Human Resources Department Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Accepting the Tentative Agreement and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Monica Firefighters Local 1109 IAFF (1109)
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt a finding of categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15324 (Class 24 Regulations of Working Conditions) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines;

2. Adopt the proposed Resolution (Attachment A) accepting the Tentative Agreement (TA) and authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Santa Monica Firefighters Local 1109 IAFF (1109);

3. Adopt the salary schedule (Attachment B); and

4. Authorize budget amendment as outlined in the Financial Impacts & Budget Actions section of this report.(requires 5 votes)
Summary
In February 2025, the City Council instructed the City’s labor negotiators to engage in labor negotiations with its recognized employee bargaining units in accordance with the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), as each unit’s current Memorandum of understanding (MOU) is set to expire on June 30, 2025. Negotiations were conducted in good faith over the past several months between designated City representatives and representatives of each of the bargaining units. Negotiations between the City and 1109 have resulted in a tentative agreement (TA) regarding a successor MOU. 1109 has finalized the ratification voting process approving the terms of their TA. City staff recommend that the Council approve the ratified TA to enter into a successor MOU

between the City and 1109.

Discussion
Under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) in California, local public agencies negotiate with exclusively recognized employee organizations on wages, hours, and working conditions. The City currently has approved TAs with seven bargaining units, and is still in negotiations with four other employee organizations (often referred to as bargaining groups or unions) whose contracts with the City expire on June 30, 2025.

These TAs reflect a collaborative effort to balance fair compensation for employees with the City’s fiscal responsibility and long-term sustainability.

The main substantive terms in this TA reached with 1109 are outlined below:

The Santa Monica Firefighters Local 1109 IAFF (1109)
1109 represents 118 exempt and non-exempt public safety staff within the Fire Department, excluding the Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chiefs. • Term of Agreement: July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029 • Cost of Living Adjustments: 2% effective July 1, 2025; 5% effective July 1, 2026 and July 1, 2027; and 4% effective July 1, 2028
• Amend all paramedic bonuses to be based upon 16% of top step Firefighter • Increase EMT bonus to 10.25% of top step Firefighter
• Increase Bilingual Skill Pay to $100 per month
• City shall pay 100% of medical premiums
• City shall pay 1% of employee contribution at top step Firefighter into the PostEmployment Health Plan (PEHP). • City shall pay 1% of employee contribution at top step Firefighter to the Medical Trust
• Increase City contribution into Deferred Compensation on behalf of each employee to $50.04 bi-weekly
• Amend the two floating holidays received on July 1st of each year to equal 12 hours per holiday for Fire Suppression positions and 10 hours per holiday for administrative positions effective July 1, 2025.

4.L
Packet Pg. 610
3 of 4
• Increase the maximum hours in each fiscal year allowed to be used for union business to 944 hours (equates to 8 hours per represented employee) • Addition of Tactical EMS Bonus equal to 2% of the base salary of top step Firefighter to eligible employees, maximum of 6 assigned, at the Fire Chief’s discretion.

Environmental Review
The changes to staff wages are categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15324 (Class 24 Regulations of Working Conditions) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Class 24 consists of actions taken by regulatory agencies to regulate employee wages, hours of work, or working conditions where there will be no demonstrable physical changes outside the place of work.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
The total cost of the negotiated changes contained in the tentative agreement presented in this report is approximately $2.0 million for FY 2025-26 in the General Fund. The full impact of these changes will be incorporated in the FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30 Five-Year Financial Forecast for the General Fund. If the changes are approved, staff will appropriate the FY 2025-26 changes in Non-Departmental for the General Fund and all other funds as listed in the table below. The funds will be transferred to the relevant funds and department accounts along with the FY 2025-26 Midyear Budget.

2. Adopt a finding that this study session is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and

3. Receive, discuss, and provide direction regarding the initial findings and concept level recommendations for the Santa Monica Boulevard Safety Study project.

Questions asked and answered of staff included: what are the goals and metrics including how the city will track measurable outcomes for safety improvements; how will the city prioritize people without vehicles; is the department thinking about the potential trade-offsthat will need to be made to implement the improvements; are there other potential pedestrian/bike crossings being considered between 17th Street and Yale around McKinley and Park Avenue; why aren’t far siding bus stops being done on 26th Street; why is a queue jump not necessary; could the bus lanes exist with the curb extensions; what is being done to reduce travel speeds specifically addressing the speeds on the eastern side of the corridor on Santa Monica Blvd.; how might reducing lane widths and reducing the amount of travel lanes on streets like Wilshire, Lincoln, San Vicente, and Santa Monica Blvd. impact speed and safety on the corridor and why is that not being considered anywhere in this study; what is the relationship between multiple lanes and safety on a corridor; is there data on how many pedestrians and cyclists have been struck on Wilshire Boulevard since the safety improvements were installed; is the city satisfied with the improvements that were done on Wilshire Blvd. in terms of pedestrian safety; are those same improvements being emulated here on Santa Monica Docusign Envelope ID: A05CC378-5445-4AB8-A29E-7BADCFC7E2C8

Blvd.; why aren’t other options being pursued to alert pedestrians in the roadways and slow down cars besides flashing beacons, paint, etc.; have raised crossings, intersections, speed tables, or things of that nature been considered; why are the intersections at 10th, 18th and Stanford shown with three crosswalks instead of the traditional four; is there data or evidence that indicates that this is safer pedestrians; is it accurate to say that if the three crosswalk option is selected, that the unmarked crosswalk is still a legal crossing for pedestrians; has data been collected on to what degree visual obstructions in daylighting zones particularly have had an effect on crashes or on severity of crashes; is there a plan to improve lighting at these intersections; and when is it anticipated that this project will be implemented and is this timeline faster, slower, or relatively the same as other similar types of projects.

Considerable discussion ensued on topics including, but not limited to consideration of significant tradeoffs; what is going on in terms of bus lanes on Santa Monica Blvd; appreciation for the right turn restrictions and curb extensions at Cloverfield and Santa Monica Boulevard; support for engineering and infrastructure solutions; a desire for boulevard-like design with medians, similar to Broadway or San Vicente; prioritizing builds in the eastern portion of Santa Monica Boulevard due to higher speed rates; concerns that the current approach is not effectively reducing crashes; suggestions for more comprehensive solutions like reducing travel lanes; the necessity for engineering solutions that reduce vehicle travel speeds to 25 miles per hour; comparisons of Santa Monica's approach to Lancaster's street redesign; request to eliminate "beg buttons" for pedestrian crossings; pedestrians to be automatically considered in signal cycles; emphasis on understanding the comprehensive work being done; and support for the improvements on Wilshire Blvd.

While the Outfront signs are not digital displays, given his representation of Outfront in similar matters, out of an abundance of caution and to avoid any appearance of impropriety, he is recusing himself from the item.

3. Provide direction to Staff regarding desired project parameters and approach to community benefits; and

4. Discuss the approach for future large-format digital signage with off-site advertising, including the adoption of an ordinance to establish a pilot program to limit this signage to the Third Street Promenade area.

Questions asked and answered of staff included: West Hollywood’s digital signage program and if their program would work in Santa Monica; could the city have controls for obscenities, tobacco, etc. by using development agreements; how long would it take to establish a program; pursuant to the current development agreements, will the city be engaging in certain studies related to lighting, CEQA, financial analysis, and things of that nature; will that work be funded by the applicant; can these types of signs be placed only on city property; and how would using the digital signs to alert the community regarding emergency situations work.

Considerable discussion ensued on topics including, but not limited to how this work will revitalize the Promenade; moving forward with the two development agreements as a pilot; not having a monopoly over signage in our downtown area; not giving blanket approval for digital signs citywide; applicants submitting a development agreement if they are interested participating in this program; crafting a thoughtful Promenade specific ordinance before expanding beyond this pilot; bringing back strong design standards, public oversight, and protections against advertising standards no later than early next year, if feasible; moving forward with a 30 year term, as opposed to 55 years with options to renew; the importance of having financial certainty for the applicant; if there is any opportunity for the city to receive 25% of the gross revenue with a growing minimum annual guarantee, rather than 20% and the minimum annual guarantee, equating to $850,000 per sign by year three, and increasing annually thereafter; appreciation for the offer of a $500,000 bonus paid when the signs go live by the applicant and the desire for the minimum annual guarantee of a million dollars per sign in the first year in terms of the timing of the payments; working with the Arts Commission, Recreation, and Arts Departments to curate art for the program; time given for ad time for local businesses; robust, intermittent auditing to ensure that all of the terms that have been set out are actually being adhered to; concern for vacancies in the buildings where the signs are being located and incentivizing re-occupancy, should a vacancy occur; emphasis on Docusign Envelope ID: A05CC378-5445-4AB8-A29E-7BADCFC7E2C8

requiring some sort of auditing program, not just on the revenue, but also on the airtime, to make sure that the city is getting the correct community benefits and percentage of airtime that they’re supposed to have; using revenues to the city from the DAs to fund the audits and using remaining funds to repay the Housing Trust Fund, expand operating hours at the libraries, and to the city for programming on the Promenade and cleaning operations in downtown; having the ability for the city to reserve extra time for special city events and celebrations; the expectance of larger public benefits for larger digital signs; requiring a view shed analysis; tying brightness levels to mirror the entertainment zone operating hours; including a city right to reserve coordinated time across all digital signs in this zone; exploring some sort of good neighbor policy framework where there's a clear path for escalation, for reasonable issues; negotiating maximum revenue to the city over increased screen time; prioritizing putting revenue back into the community; revenues supporting capital investments in the downtown area; tying a specific dollar amount or percentage of received revenue to specific improvement needs; pilot program returning to Council so that it gives direction; and reaching out to tenants and residents to include them in the discussions about these DAs.

on Lincoln Blvd.; why isn’t this being done for all bus lanes; would the Director of Transportation only be able to add to transit only lanes under these amendments and not be able to remove any designations of transit only lanes; what are the specific safety benefits expected from sharing bus lanes with bicyclists and how will it be measured over time; has curb separation and colored paint been considered to enhance safety; will any new designations or removal require notification or Council oversight; would it be helpful to have operational flexibility to implement this in certain areas and not others; how will these amendments be communicated to the public including motor coach operators; what would be the timeline for expanding the other bus lanes to biking ridership; and what are the concerns about doing a citywide rollout to allow biking in bus lanes.

Considerable discussion ensued on topics including but not limited to expanding the ordinance to allow biking in all bus lanes and the possibility of removing the language “shared” mobility devices as this could preclude people with their own mobility devices.

Units (ADUs) as Part of Projects Utilizing Senate Bill (SB) 1123 on Vacant Parcels Zoned for Single-Unit Residential.

No members of the public spoke to the recommended action.

Questions asked and answered of staff included: whether state law already permits the ministerial subdivision up to 10 lots in any zone; does the definition of vacant, for the purpose of SB 1123 include structures that have a demolition permit; and would there be any specific implications to expanding the definition of vacant to include sites where there is a an approved demolition permit.

Considerable discussion ensued on topics including but not limited to allowing ADUs in all zoning districts in order to create more units; leveraging the tools that are available to open up new housing opportunities and permanently further fair housing where it hasn't been available before; concerns about the inclusionary housing loophole; referring the item to the Planning Commission with direction to look at how the city can potentially figure out a way to implement HPP and inclusionary housing in a way that's consistent with state law, and come back with recommendations to Council; support for adding ADU use; passing the IZO now, regardless of whether there is a desire to study the issue; making it easier to build multiple units to fill the gap of missing cheaper middle options; needing at least seven units to support an inclusionary which would be difficult in Santa Monica as the average lot in Santa Monica at 7500 square feet and would probably only support around five units with allowance for setbacks; direction to ask for the city attorney and planning staff to come back when this IZO is renewed, to impose similar standards on the accompanying ADUs, not imposing inner setbacks among the ADUs so they too, can adjoin each other like the townhome units; direction to exempt SB 1123, projects from all upper story setbacks so that townhomes don't have to get smaller at each floor; and then allowing for three stories and 33 feet and a maximum of 1.5 FAR; allow for reduced setbacks in the case of SB 1123 projects in the R1 zone and exempt these projects from the in lieu fees; and concerns regarding exempting the in lieu fees that are needed to replenish the Housing Trust Fund.

Motion by Councilmember Raskin, seconded by Mayor Negrete, to allow ADUs in all zones and to refer the item to the Planning Commission.

Subject: July 29, 2025 - City Council 5A - PAL Settlements - OPPOSE

EXTERNAL
City Council -
While the victims of abuse perpetrated by a city employee must be compensated, it is irresponsible for city council to continue to make lump-sum settlements with no discovery and no investigation.

The initial settlements were poorly advised and appear designed to stop the investigation. Then the claims piled up and the city has been settling with no change in approach.

Now that the amounts are hovering around $300 MILLION, an investigation is long past due. Who knew what and when did they know it? Who is being protected by these settlements that risk bankrupting our city to keep an investigation from happening? Stop the settlements and investigate.

Subject: Approval of Citywide Equity Plan
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Receive and approve the Citywide Equity Plan;

2. Authorize budget amendment as outlined in the Financial Impacts & Budget Actions section of this report (requires 5 votes).

Summary
Santa Monica is committed to addressing past harms, breaking down systemic barriers, and advancing equity for all our community members. The City has taken important steps over the past five years to create internal programs and advance community initiatives focused on racial equity. Staff engaged in a year-long community engagement effort focused on gathering information about residents’ equity priorities and challenges, including large community listening sessions hosted by the DEI team—held both in person and virtually—as well as more than 60 smaller, community-led meetings.

Following this process, staff reviewed community input, identified key issues, and collaborated with relevant departments to collate existing programs and policies addressing these challenges, leading to the creation of the Citywide Equity Plan (Attachment A). The plan reflects commitments from all departments and establishes clear goals, strategies, and accountability measures to advance equity across the organization, and advance the work across five key strategies:

11.A
Packet Pg. 638
2 of 14
• Building a Deeper Understanding of Equity
• Transforming City Operations for Equity
• Expanding Community Engagement and Access
• Opening Doors to Opportunity
• Restorative Justice and Repairing Historical Harms
It is both a roadmap and a living document—designed to evolve as community needs shift and new insights emerge. Rooted in the voices of residents and the expertise of staff, the plan aims to ensure that all community members, regardless of race, gender, ability, or background, have equitable access to opportunities, resources, and city services.

Background
City’s Involvement in the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) Much of the City’s recent equity work over the past decade stems from the City’s involvement in the Government Alliance for Race and Equity (GARE), a national network of agencies working to advance racial equity in government. Between 2017- 2019, dozens of City staff from nearly every department participated in a yearlong GARE learning cohort, including all of the members of the current DEI team. In these cohorts, staff learned foundational information about embedding equity into government, such as the difference between equity and equality, and the importance of intentionally doing our work through a racial equity lens if we ever hope to correct the disparities created by intentional discrimination. GARE also offered many practical tools that the DEI team uses today, making a lasting impact on Santa Monica’s equity work. Read more about the GARE cohorts’ work in the GARE Operational Plan (Attachment H).

Black Lives Matter Movement Spurs Local Action
As millions of people around the world joined the Black Lives Matter movement to call for an end to systemic racism and violence, the City of Santa Monica began looking inward to assess how it could change for the better. In June 2020, the City Council advanced three tracks of equity work to generate meaningful and lasting change in

11.A
Packet Pg. 639
3 of 14
Santa Monica: Development of a Black Agenda for Santa Monica, Public Safety Reform, and Equity and Inclusion Work in the City Organization. Additionally, in September 2020, the City Council further affirmed its commitment to racial equity by authorizing the formation of the Racial Equity Committee, adopting the racial equity statement drafted by the GARE cohorts, authorizing the implementation of public safety reform, and approving the development of a mechanism to provide seed funding to advance the formation of a non-profit organization to promote the wellbeing of the Black community in Santa Monica.

City Creates the DEI Team
Since 2020, two staff members have worked full-time to advance citywide equity initiatives, including public safety reform and leading the Racial Equity Committee to implement equity within the City organization. In July 2022, the DEI team, composed of these two positions plus a manager, was officially created in the City Manager’s Office.

Since 2022, the DEI team has continued advancing citywide equity initiatives, including the outreach for and creation of the Citywide Equity Plan.

Discussion
The City of Santa Monica has long been recognized as a leader in municipal governance, from our five-star rated library system to our pioneering environmental sustainability work. However, one area in which the City has yet to play a leading role is in racial equity, as evidenced by our outcomes in this area. According to various sources including Race Counts and Healthy City, Santa Monica community members who identify as Black, Latinx, and Native American fare worse than white Santa Monicans across nearly every quality-of-life indicator, and many of these inequalities

have worsened since 2020. Although the City has made some efforts at inclusion, particularly around affordable housing, the Pico Wellbeing Project and the Black Agenda, the City has yet to take cohesive, citywide action aimed at moving the needle on racial equity. Santa Monica’s Communities of Color have expressed concern about projects and approaches that favor specific groups over their own, viewing current equity efforts as “special projects” that have limited reach. Historically, this has had the impact of turning groups that should be allies into adversaries, who believe they must compete with each other for scarce resources.

While the City organization currently faces budgetary challenges and has lacked robust structures to advance equity in the ways that many other cities have, Santa Monica has continued to make progress due to its best resource: its residents and City staff. During the yearlong community engagement process for this Citywide Equity Plan, the DEI team was intentional about engaging residents and staff of various backgrounds and identity groups since equity (giving everyone what they need to thrive, based on an understanding that different people start in different places due to historical and current injustices) will look different for each group. The City’s equity planning process has elevated both community-specific needs and cross-cutting priorities that guide the path toward a more inclusive future. The Citywide Equity Plan is the City's stride toward a cohesive, comprehensive roadmap that reflects the diverse perspectives, needs and priorities of City residents and staff.

The Path to the Citywide Equity Plan
In recent years, the City taken many steps to ensure that Santa Monica is a more equitable place, all culminating in our first Citywide Equity Plan. Those actions are documented in the reports below:
• 2022 Status Update on Citywide Racial Equity Work
• Diversity Equity and Inclusion Update for FY 2022-23
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Update for FY 2023-24 Priorities Shared by Residents and City Staff

11.A
Packet Pg. 641
5 of 14
While specific groups identified unique needs, certain concerns resonated across the entire community. The desire for a more inclusive and representative government was a common theme, with residents and staff calling for increased diversity in City leadership and expanded cultural competence training for public employees. Ensuring that all residents can meaningfully participate in civic life was another priority, with calls for an equity accountability system and expanded engagement opportunities.

Economic development was highlighted as a key driver of equity, with residents supporting policies that promote minority- and queer-owned businesses, local hiring, and financial literacy programs. Housing affordability was another urgent issue, with strong support for tenant protections, anti-gentrification efforts, and expanded homeownership opportunities.

In the realm of public safety, residents want law enforcement to be more reflective of the community it serves. Proposals include increasing diversity within the police department, expanding DEI training, and establishing stronger support systems for victims of hate crimes.

In regard to the equity priorities of City staff, we heard from staff surveys and equity workshops that there is a need for more equity and anti-bias training, particularly amongst management. Other issues include a need for greater transparency and fairness around the City’s hiring rules and recruitment process, increased pathways for upward mobility within the organization—especially for staff from marginalized communities, and improved communications and opportunities for staff whose roles are not centered around use of a computer.

Taken together, these resident and staff priorities form the foundation of Santa Monica’s equity plan. They reflect a shared vision for a more just and inclusive city—one that acknowledges past inequities while taking concrete steps to build a more equitable future.

Environmental Review
This Equity Plan is not a “project” subject to CEQA. Pursuant to CEQA Section 21065, the equity plan does not meet the definition of a “project” subject to CEQA as it will not “cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment”. Additionally, per Section 15378(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, a “project” does not include general policy and procedure making.

Advancing Equity During Challenging Economic Times
The majority of the activities outlined in this plan can currently be carried out using existing resources. However, the City’s growing commitments to immigrant support, trans rights, and reparative justice will require additional investment in the near term to

11.A
Packet Pg. 649
13 of 14
ensure meaningful progress and community trust. DEI Team and City Manager’s Office staff are committed to finding grant funding and other revenue opportunities to fund this important work as the City’s challenging financial situation hopefully improves in the coming years.

As part of that focus on grant funding, a number of equity projects have been funded via the We Are Santa Monica fund, including a $25,000 grant for a College Expo at Samohi for students who are traditionally under-represented at college due to the financial burden. At that event, 400 students attended, 65 received on the spot admissions, and a total of $1,667,660 was awarded in scholarships. The Equity team plans to continue that work by creating its own community grant program, initially funded by the remainder of the dollars that were earmarked for equity in the We Are Santa Monica Fund and amplified by additional grant funded as identified by the team.

One urgent need has that has been identified is for additional resources to expand immigrant support efforts, which have seen increased demand for services and protections. Other large financial needs on the horizon are for the City to make meaningful initial investments in its upcoming landback and reparations programs, which cities across the nation are funding in the range of $2-$20 million (with the exception of Tulsa, OK, which recently committed $105 million to repair the harms of the Tulsa Race Massacre.) Staff is seeking the support of Council to find creative funding solutions to make the City’s commitment to reparative justice a meaningful one in the months and years ahead.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
Staff seeks authority to appropriate the remaining funds received by the We Are Santa Monica Fund on behalf of the City, that were specifically earmarked for equity to fund a community equity grant program. Approval of the recommended action would require the following budget amendment. Future year funding is contingent on Council budget approval.

Packet Pg. 653 Attachment: Attachment A - Santa Monica Citywide Equity Plan [Revision 2] (6379 : Equity Plan) The City of Santa Monica is committed to addressing past harms, breaking down systemic barriers, and advancing equity for all our community members.

The City of Santa Monica (City) has taken meaningful steps to advance racial equity through internal programs and community initiatives, leading with race while recognizing that this approach also drives equity across other social identities—including gender, sexual orientation, class, and ability. The city council reaffirmed its commitment to this work when it adopted Racial Justice, Equity, and Social Diversity as a priority at its March 11, 2023, workshop, along with the following statement:

City of Santa Monica’s Philosophy on Equity
The City of Santa Monica acknowledges the effects of generational and institutional racism and discrimination, and its consequences that continue to impact our residents and businesses. These lessons of our history cannot be ignored. The City is committed to advancing racial equity and social diversity to improve the well-being of people who live, work, learn, play, and do business in our city, and create a community where differences in life outcomes cannot be predicted by race, class, gender, disability, or other identities. Everyone in Santa Monica must have an opportunity to thrive.

Staff in every department in Santa Monica are tasked with:
• Identifying and rectifying the policies, practices, and behaviors that perpetuate racism, discrimination, and other negative race-based outcomes
• Cultivating an inclusive and fair environment where all people in Santa Monica, in particular disenfranchised Communities of Color, thrive in the areas of health, economic vitality, and connectedness
This Citywide Equity Plan was prepared to operationalize this city council commitment.

The following goals are embedded within the plan and are described in greater detail in the sections that follow:

GOAL 1

Plan followed traditional and nontraditional paths
to achieve this goal. The effort launched with a
panel discussion on strategic allyship in September
2023, followed by a seven-month community
engagement phase focused on identifying equity
priorities and challenges. The DEI team hosted
large public listening sessions, both in person
and online, and tried something new by offering
stipends to participants to ensure broader and
more inclusive engagement.

This new strategy brought in the most diverse range
of voices the City has ever heard from—African
Americans, Latinos (with input in both English and
Spanish), Ethiopians, Jewish residents, LGBTQ+
individuals, members of the disability community,
Muslim residents, seniors, young adults, parents,
and more. The groups hosted over 60 communityled listening sessions to share their community’s Overview and Plan Development
To structure the City’s Equity Plan, the Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) team focused on recognizing the diversity of communities who call Santa Monica home by taking time to learn their specific needs and hearing from those who do not traditionally participate in government processes. equity priorities. They met in homes, parks,
restaurants, schools, online, after a group bike ride,
and on the beach—wherever they felt they would
have the best conversation.

This inclusive approach ensured that the decisionmaking process reflects the diverse perspectives, needs, and priorities of the people it directly
impacts. Through this collaborative effort, we
can build trust, bridge divides, and forge a shared
vision that truly represents the collective will and
aspirations of the community.

Building on this input, the DEI team collaborated
with City departments to assess existing programs
and policies to address key community concerns.

In March 2024, the City re-engaged the community
through another round of stipend-supported
meetings—this time to co-create potential solutions
to the top issues identified in fall 2023.

The engagement effort also recognized the
important role City staff play in understanding the
Santa Monica community and designing solutions
to address their concerns. The DEI team hosted

that featured seasoned public servants who now
lead impactful DEI work across the country. To
further include staff perspectives, the DEI team
administered an equity survey, both online and
on paper, to reach as many staff as possible. The
survey’s more than 250 responses reflected a wide
range of perspectives, from skepticism about the
organization’s commitment to equity to strong
expressions of support.

Before finalizing this Citywide Equity Plan, the
DEI team reconnected with community groups
who had helped shape its foundation, sharing
proposed initiatives, gathering final input,
and expressing gratitude for their continued
partnership. These groups played a vital role not
only in identifying early priorities but also in refining the plan’s direction—and many will remain involved
as collaborators in its implementation. Their
engagement has helped ensure the plan is rooted
in transparency, shared responsibility, and ongoing
community connection.

Belonging The feeling of security and support when there is a sense of acceptance, inclusion, and identity for a member of a certain group. It is when an individual can bring their authentic self to interactions (e.g., work, school, and church).

Source: Cornell University
Digital Equity A condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy, and economy. It is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and access to essential services. Source: National Digital Inclusion Alliance Diversity A synonym for variety. A diversity focus emphasizes “how many of these” we have in a space or organization. For example, the City of Santa Monica has employees belonging to diverse groups characterized by various identifying traits, such as race, gender identity, ability, age, or religion. Diversity programs, cultural celebrations, and educational programs are not equivalent to racial justice or inclusion. It is possible to name, acknowledge, and celebrate diversity without doing anything to transform the institutional or structural systems that produce, and maintain, racialized injustices in our communities. Sources: Center for the Study of Social Policy and Anti-Defamation League
Equity Giving everyone what they need to thrive, based on an understanding that different people start in different places due to historical and current injustices. “Equity” is about equal outcomes. Source: Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) To support understanding of this Citywide Equity Plan, a list of key terms is provided below. Our goal is to ensure that everyone who lives, works, or spends time in Santa Monica can navigate the plan with confidence and clarity. It is important to understand that equity is not the same as equality.

This plan is rooted in equity: ensuring that individuals and communities receive the tailored support they need to thrive. The DEI team leads with race in its work because of the injustices that have negatively affected Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Research has shown that working on policies that help the most impacted groups will benefit people from all backgrounds (e.g., gender identity, sexual orientation, class, and ability).

This plan represents an important step toward creating internal programs and advancing community initiatives focused on racial equity, with the understanding that within each individual effort, a myriad of social identities–including gender, sexual orientation, class, and ability–benefit from the more inclusive policies generated by these efforts.

Group
A particular group that is cast to the edge of society by a dominant group and is not allowed an active voice, identity, or place. This is done so the dominant group can maintain power. Source: Center for the Study of Social Policy Neurodiversity Refers to the natural differences in how people’s brains work—how we think, learn, process information, and interact with the world.

Racial Equity A process of eliminating racial disparities and improving outcomes for everyone.

It is the intentional and continual practice of changing policies, practices, systems, and structures by prioritizing measurable change in the lives of people of color. It’s when race can no longer be used to predict life outcomes. Sources:

Race Forward and GARE
Racism The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people as a means to uphold white supremacy. Racism differs from prejudice, hatred, or discrimination because it requires one racial group to have power over other groups in society.

Often, racism is supported and maintained, both implicitly and explicitly, by institutional structures and policies, cultural norms and values, and individual behaviors.

11.A.a
Packet Pg. 660 Attachment: Attachment A - Santa Monica Citywide Equity Plan [Revision 2] (6379 : Equity Plan) Santa Monica is home to a racially, culturally, and economically diverse population, with residents representing a wide range of income levels, educational backgrounds, and life experiences.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 estimates, the city’s demographic composition is 66.9% White, 16.4% Hispanic or Latino, 9.8% Asian, 4.9% Black or African American, and 13.2% identifying as multiracial. Of the total population, 23% identify as foreign-born.

These statistics, however, do not capture the rich and varied histories and experiences nor do they fully reflect the multitude of other communities and groups—defined by language, ability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, and more—that contribute to the fabric of life in Santa Monica.

This rich mixture of cultures and backgrounds contributes to the city’s dynamic character and underscores the importance of Santa Monica’s equity initiatives.

Santa Monica has a deeply layered history shaped by the presence of these diverse communities, whose cultural, social, and economic influences continue to enrich the wider community today.

Some of these diverse communities have faced challenges including moments of exclusion and inequity, elements of which too often persist today. Recognizing and understanding this past strengthens our commitment to building a more inclusive future. Many of the communities that have contributed to the Santa Monica of today are shown on the following page.

11.A.a
Packet Pg. 661 Attachment: Attachment A - Santa Monica Citywide Equity Plan [Revision 2] (6379 : Equity Plan) Black Community
The Black community in Santa Monica has
experienced generations of systemic exclusion,
from redlining and beach segregation to
displacement from neighborhoods like the
Belmar Triangle during urban renewal. “The
Inkwell” beach was one of the few safe
recreational spaces for Black families in the
20th century. Since 1980, the Black population in
Santa Monica has steadily declined due to rising
costs and disinvestment, and the community
continues to experience anti-Black racism
in everyday life. Today, Black residents are
calling for reparative justice such as monetary
compensation, the return of community land,
expanded Black homeownership, and ongoing
investment in Black-led organizations.

Chinese Community
Chinese immigrants first arrived in Santa
Monica in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,
often facing severe discrimination, restrictive
housing laws, and displacement during
redevelopment. Despite these barriers, they
built businesses and contributed significantly
to the city’s growth. Today, Chinese
residents and broader Asian communities
seek greater visibility, inclusion in public life,
protection from anti-Asian hate, and culturally
responsive City services, including improved
language access and representation.

Disability Community
People with disabilities have historically been
excluded from city planning, public spaces,
and employment opportunities in Santa
Monica. Despite landmark protections like
the Americans with Disabilities Act, barriers
to physical access, economic inclusion,
and equitable healthcare remain. Today,
residents with disabilities are advocating
for a city fully designed with accessibility in
mind, including expanded accessible housing,
reliable paratransit services such as a northsouth shuttle, and greater City investment in inclusive infrastructure and hiring practices.

Packet Pg. 662 Attachment: Attachment A - Santa Monica Citywide Equity Plan [Revision 2] (6379 : Equity Plan) Indigenous Community –
The Tongva Peoples
The Tongva are the original inhabitants of the
Santa Monica area, with deep ancestral ties
and complex cultural systems that long predate
colonization. Colonization, forced relocation, and
loss of land rights devastated their communities.

Despite this history, the Tongva people continue
efforts to preserve their language, culture,
and presence in the region. Today, Indigenous
residents are calling for formal recognition,
structured inclusion in City initiatives, and the
integration of Indigenous perspectives into
public policy, cultural events, and education.

Japanese American Community
Japanese American families once formed a vibrant
part of Santa Monica’s farming and business
community. Their lives were disrupted during
World War II, when they were forcibly removed
and imprisoned at incarceration camps, often
losing homes and livelihoods. Although reparations
were granted decades later, the impact of this
displacement still resonates. Today, Japanese
American residents and their descendants seek
to preserve this history, promote racial justice,
and support cultural programming that honors
their legacy and protects against future harm.

Jewish Community
Jewish residents have been active contributors
to Santa Monica’s civic, cultural, and professional
life for generations. However, they have also
faced exclusion—from restrictive housing
policies in the past to continued antisemitic
incidents today. Synagogues and Jewish
institutions have experienced vandalism, and
residents report ongoing bias. Community
members are calling for robust City responses
to antisemitism, including hate crime prevention
strategies, visible public support, improved
safety measures, and educational efforts
that promote understanding and inclusion.

Latino Community
Latinos have long contributed to the economic
and cultural fabric of Santa Monica, especially in
the Pico neighborhood. They faced segregation,
housing discrimination, and displacement
during urban renewal efforts in the mid-20th
century. Many families lost their homes, schools,
and community centers. Today, rising housing
costs and redevelopment pressures continue to
threaten long-standing Latino neighborhoods.

Residents are advocating for stronger tenant
protections, affordable housing, economic
development for Latino-owned businesses, and
preservation of cultural institutions and traditions.

LGBTQ+ Community
The LGBTQ+ community has long struggled for
safety, recognition, and equal rights in Santa
Monica. In earlier decades, LGBTQ+ individuals
faced police harassment and were ignored during
the AIDS crisis. More recently, the loss of LGBTQ+
venues and unaffordable housing have eroded

Packet Pg. 663 Attachment: Attachment A - Santa Monica Citywide Equity Plan [Revision 2] (6379 : Equity Plan) safe spaces. Today, LGBTQ+ residents advocate
for a dedicated community center, expanded
access to gender-affirming healthcare, inclusive
housing policies, and ongoing community visibility
to ensure that Santa Monica remains a place
where queer and trans people can thrive.

Middle Eastern Community
Middle Eastern families—including immigrants from
Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and other countries—began
settling in Santa Monica in significant numbers
in the latter part of the 20th century. They have
made important contributions in retail, education,
and civic life. However, racial and religious
profiling, particularly after 9/11, and ongoing
stereotyping have created persistent barriers.

Today, Middle Eastern residents seek better
representation in City leadership, public education
about their cultures and histories, and protection
against bias and exclusion in civic spaces.

Seniors
Older adults in Santa Monica have contributed
greatly to the community, but many now face
barriers to aging with dignity. Fixed incomes,
rising housing costs, mobility challenges, and
social isolation can threaten their independence
and well-being. Seniors are calling for expanded
transportation options, case management
services, mental health resources, and housing
programs that support aging in place. A key
priority is ensuring that policies and services
are tailored to help seniors remain active,
connected, and safe within their communities.

Youth and Students
Santa Monica’s youth face growing pressures
around education, affordability, and access to
opportunity. While young people benefit from
the City’s educational and cultural offerings,
many—especially those from historically
marginalized communities—struggle to find
mentorship, enrichment opportunities, and clear
pathways to higher education or well-paying
jobs. Youth and families have called for increased
investment in after-school programs, college
readiness initiatives, mental health services,
and financial support for higher education
to help ensure a more equitable future.

Recognizing these histories is essential to
understanding why equity initiatives are not
just needed, but imperative. They ensure that
all individuals have access to opportunities
and a sense of belonging in our city. The
lessons of the past inform our path forward,
guiding policies that foster inclusion and
promote equitable outcomes for all.

Footnote: Additional historical and educational information about each of our diverse community groups can be found on the City’s website at www.santamonica.gov/equity.

The City’s diversity is one of its strengths, and it is important to remember that historical patterns continue to shape the social and economic landscape of Santa Monica today.

City staff, elected officials, various stakeholders,
and members of our community. The DEI team will
work closely with departments to monitor
progress on equity-related initiatives and provide
regular updates to the city council, employees,
and the community.

To make sure our equity efforts are making a real
difference, the City will use a clear and consistent
way to track progress. Each project will involve
setting specific goals, taking actions to meet those
goals, and measuring whether those actions are
helping people. We’ll look at how much we did,
how well we did it, and whether it helped improve
people’s lives. Every action will have a timeline
and a designated person or team responsible for
follow-through.

Staff recommends that Council provide direction on the key areas of focus for a City Reparations & Landback Program to study the historical harms done to Santa Monica’s marginalized communities and provide recommendations on how to address those harms.

Staff Report Body
Executive Summary
On January 23, 2024, the Council directed staff to survey reparations efforts in other jurisdictions, identify any potential legal issues with pursuing our own reparative efforts, and report back to the City Council. On February 13, 2024, the Council directed staff to consider a series of recommendations, including adopting a city-wide land acknowledgment initiative and a restorative justice approach to repair harm of past actions of the City of Santa Monica impacting diverse groups from various heritages and cultures. Following engagement with many diverse community members to develop the City’s equity plan, which will come to Council later this spring, and the evaluation of different jurisdictions’ reparations programs, staff intend to launch a comprehensive Reparations & Landback process. This 18 month process will be centered around a task force of community members and experts who will explore and recognize the multiple historical injustices faced by marginalized communities in Santa Monica as well as identify priorities and recommendations for how to repair those harms. This will be done through a phased approach that will require multiple inflection points with Council to ensure the direction of the task force is aligned with Council's vision. At the conclusion of this process, Council will be presented with the Task Force’s recommendations and the opportunity to adopt the policy framework for Santa Monica’s Reparations Program.

This work to develop the City’s Reparations Program will operate in phases, including community engagement and truth-telling, and culminating in the development of a comprehensive plan that will include a foundational harms report and repair recommendations within legal parameters. The recommendations will also include funding models, with considerations of external funding sources (e.g, grants, community fundraising) to implement those recommendations. Embracing this process will substantiate the City's commitment to racial justice and contribute to a more equitable and healed future for all Santa Monica residents.

Background
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of Santa Monica as a city—a time that naturally lends itself for self-reflection on both our impressive collective
accomplishments over the past 150 years, as well as the harms we’ve created along the way. As a part of this reflection process, the City has an incredible opportunity to take an unflinching look at the harm that has been done to our marginalized communities over the course of our history, and to make amends for that harm through a community-driven restorative justice process.

Packet Pg. 676 Attachment: Attachment B - Feb. 2025 Staff Report (6379 : Equity Plan) In addition, the City’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion team has recently completed a yearlong engagement process to learn our community’s equity priorities to inform Santa Monica’s first Citywide Equity Plan, which will come to Council this Spring. Throughout the community engagement process, which provided feedback from a diverse group of residents, the topic of restorative justice came up repeatedly as a key priority of our community.

Participants in community-led listening sessions shared specific incidents of bias in Santa Monica’s past that they saw as the cause for gaps in life outcomes for residents of color today, and proposed reparations of different types as a means to repair the harm that was done. Toward this end, staff in the City Manager’s Office will convene a task force that is made up of community members and subject matter experts in the fields of racial and restorative justice to identify those harms that have been done and make recommendations on how to repair them. This act of community introspection and atonement may become one of our biggest accomplishments yet, paving the way for a more equitable City that truly lives up to our stated strategic priority of justice, equity, and diversity.

Many recent developments have positioned the City to undertake this important work. In November 2022, the City offered a historic “Black Apology” to its African American
residents, in collaboration with the Committee for Racial Justice. In January 2024, the City Council followed up with a directive for staff to research reparations efforts nationwide and identify any legal challenges to pursuing reparations in Santa Monica. In February 2024, Council adopted all of the recommendations coming out of the ReFrame Mural project, including the following recommendations which pertain to restorative justice for Indigenous communities:
· Facilitate relationship with the Kuruvungna Springs Foundation and support their efforts to have their land transferred back to Indigenous sovereignty (began September 2024) · Adopt a Citywide land acknowledgement initiative (“Statement of Accountability” completed November 2024) · Facilitate Landback in Santa Monica
Further, the Council adopted an additional recommendation to “consider a restorative justice approach to repair harm from past actions of the City of Santa Monica impacting diverse groups from various heritages and cultures.” In light of this directive, and in response to growing community calls for reparations for harm done to communities of color in the Pico neighborhood, Belmar Triangle, and other historically biased interventions by the City, staff recommends implementing a comprehensive restorative justice approach.

Legal Guidelines for Reparations Programs
A May 2024 presentation from the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) team and additional guidance from the City Attorney’s Office provided Council with a horizon scan of reparations efforts across the country, including the legal considerations for proceeding with reparations under federal and California State law as well as several examples of cities that have recently implemented reparations programs.

According to City Attorney’s Office, a legally compliant reparations program may compensate or provide a benefit to a class of individuals or their descendants who
were harmed by past actions of the City, but the City cannot give a preference based on a person’s race based on the following laws: First, Proposition 209 prohibits race
conscious programs in employment, public education, or public contracting. Second, federal and state fair housing laws prohibit discrimination based on race. Third, federal and state equal protection laws require that the City treat two or more similarly situated persons in an equal manner. Race conscious policies are subject to strict scrutiny, which requires that the program be narrowly tailored to further a compelling government
interest. To meet this standard, the policy must be tied to an exact injury suffered by a specific individual or group of individuals to remediate specific, identified instances of past discrimination that violated the Constitution or a statute.

The City’s reparation program will be focused on providing accountability for historic injustice; address contemporary practices that perpetuate wrongdoing and persecution of oppressed communities; and provide restitution to remediate specific, identified instances of provable historical harm to victims and their descendants.

The City could establish a fund, policy, and process for making claims and awards from the fund. Accordingly, extending compensation to a beneficiary class of victims or their descendants based on a race-neutral common factor such as geography (i.e. those living in the Belmar Triangle at the time of the City’s condemnation), is consistent with legal requirements.

Packet Pg. 677 Attachment: Attachment B - Feb. 2025 Staff Report (6379 : Equity Plan) November 14, 2024, when the City of Palm Springs agreed to pay $5.9 million in reparations to families whose relatives were displaced in the by the city in the 1960’s.

At that time, the city demolished and burned the homes of over 2000 Black and Latino residents in a one square mile community known as Section 14, to make room for commercial development. In addition to the financial reparations to descendants of families that were directly impacted by the city’s actions, the Palm Springs city council approved funding for a broad restorative justice program applicable to the entire Palm Springs community, with outreach targeted to Section 14 families, including $10 million for a first-time homebuyer assistance program and another $10 million for a community land trust, and the construction of a monument to commemorate the history of the neighborhood.

About Reparations and Landback
Landback and reparations are forms of restorative justice gaining traction in communities across the country. Landback refers to the movement to return land taken through colonization to its original Indigenous inhabitants. While the most complete form involves transferring land back to Indigenous sovereignty, other approaches—such as co-managing land or restoring it to native plants with Indigenous stewardship practices—are also forms of Landback embraced by many Indigenous leaders. Nationwide, California is currently leading the way in Landback, with efforts at every level of government. At the federal level, 125 acres of Redwood National Park are now co-managed with the Yurok Tribe; at the State level, over 1,250 acres have been returned to California tribes since 2020; and at the local level, cities like Oakland, Berkeley, and Huntington Beach have returned parcels of land to local tribes.

On the other hand, reparations is typically, although not exclusively, used to describe restorative justice work to heal historic harms done to African American communities. The reparations movement is gaining momentum nationwide, with dozens of cities studying the issue and some already distributing reparations funds. Notable examples include Evanston, IL; Asheville, NC; Athens, GA; St. Paul, MN; and most recently, Palm Springs, CA, where funds have been granted to largely Black and brown communities displaced by condemnation, similar to Santa Monica’s Belmar Triangle.

Additionally, four states are exploring reparations, with California again leading the way. In 2023, the State published an extensive 1,100-page report that documents harms done to Black Californians and provides policy recommendations, many of which could be implemented at the local level, ranging from mandated racial impact analysis with policy decisions, to increasing housing options, to mitigating pollution from highways built in communities of color.

Both reparations and Landback are subject to the United Nations Principles on Remedy and Reparation, which states that full and effective reparation must include:

1. Restitution: The actors who caused harm have an obligation to return victims to the status quo before that harm occurred, or as close to it as possible.

2. Compensation: Compensation is to be provided for both material and moral damages, including lost economic opportunities and potential earnings, physical and psychological, and costs associated with the harm, such as legal expertise.

3. Rehabilitation: Actors causing harm must provide any necessary professional assistance as a result of the harms endured, such as medical or psychological care, and the victim(s) must be able to play a part in choosing that care.

4. Satisfaction: Satisfaction means that harms being done must stop and can include a public truth-telling and reckoning process, as well as a public apology restoring the reputation of the victim(s), and any commemoration honoring those who were harmed.

5. Guarantees of Non-repetition: Reviewing and reforming laws on the books to prevent future violations, with a focus on structural changes through legislative measures
Current conversations around reparations tend to focus on the monetary aspects of the work, which are certainly a part of true reparative justice work, as point two illustrates above. However, as a government agency, the City has many tools in its toolbox to bring about repair that satisfy the rest of these points through new policies and programs. Indeed, the City has already began the work on the fourth point of satisfaction—at least with our African American community—through The Black Apology. The Task Force will evaluate the myriad of options the City has to implement its restorative justice package to recommend a program responsive to Santa Monica.

The Reparations & Landback Task Force
To develop the work plan of the Reparations & Landback Task Force, staff engaged leaders in the Santa Monica area who held significant knowledge of Santa Monica’s history and past incidents of harm. In order to get their feedback, staff met one-on-one with leaders who responded with interest and availability/capacity from each of the organizations below:
· Committee for Racial Justice

11.A.b
Packet Pg. 678 Attachment: Attachment B - Feb. 2025 Staff Report (6379 : Equity Plan) · Gabrielino-Tongva (Kuruvungna) Springs Foundation
· Gabrieleno/Tongva – San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians · Santa Monica Black Empowerment Association
· Tongva Taraxat Paxaavxa Conservancy
· Zeal Arts Collective
What emerged from these conversations was a confirmation of a need to focus on the more known historical incidents that require repair: the taking of Belmar triangle and the eradication of the Black and Brown community that was once there, the disruption of community and displacement caused by the siting and development of the 10 freeway, and the taking of Indigenous land to create the City of Santa Monica. From our broader community engagement efforts, staff is also aware of other harms that have not been as well documented and may need to be explored, including the displacement of the Jewish community in Ocean Park and impacts of development on the Latino community. In order to develop a comprehensive approach to begin to repair these harms, staff will initiate the Reparations & Landback Task Force that reports to the City Manager in March 2025. The Task Force will be structured with three sub-committees focused on Historical Research, Fundraising & Messaging, and Community Education and Events. Residency in Santa Monica will not be a requirement to serving on the Task Force so as to include national subject matter experts; our engagement partners agreed that a mix of Santa Monica residents and subject matter experts would be ideal for the Task Force’s composition.

The proposed timeline for the Task Force’s work is as follows:
· Phase 1: Orientation & Planning – April-July 2025
o Key focus areas: introductions, adoption of roles and decision-making processes, civic empowerment and advocacy trainings, overview of the Landback and reparations movements.
· Phase 2: Truth-Telling & Listening – August- October 2025 o Key focus areas: soliciting public input on the harms sustained and witnessed by members of Santa Monica’s marginalized communities, hosting a public truth-telling event, drafting and soliciting input on a community harms report, adoption of harms report by Council and community distribution
o Council involvement: attendance at public truth telling event; review and adoption of harms report · Phase 3: Repair – November 2025 –May 2026
o Key focus areas: Exploring both monetary and non-monetary forms of repair, exploring costs of monetary repairs along with potential funding streams, drafting and soliciting community feedback on recommendations report, adoption of recommendations by Council, adoption of plan for ongoing community engagement
By the end of this process, Council will have been engaged at multiple points including via participation in a community truth-telling event, review and feedback on a report documenting the harms experienced by the City’s marginalized communities for formal adoption, and in the review and adoption of a final set of recommendations to address these harms, thereby creating the City’s reparations program.

Key Considerations
Though the work of restorative justice is necessary in communities across the country and can be cathartic and deeply rewarding, it can also be painful, challenging, and contentious. One notable challenge is the potential for conflict both within and between communities of shared identity.

Historical factors such as colonization, white supremacy culture, the perception of “scarce” resources, and the very harms we aim to address have had a divisive impact on many of Santa Monica’s marginalized communities. These dynamics will inevitably surface as we confront the harm done to these groups. For example, the Indigenous peoples of what is now Santa Monica are often referred to collectively as “Tongva.” However, this term, coined in 1905, does not align with their traditional self-identification, which was tied to the interconnected villages they belonged to rather than a unified tribe or nation. This lack of historical recognition, combined with limited awareness from the dominant settler culture and the absence of federal recognition, has fueled territorial disputes and conflicts over rightful representation.

As an external party, the City cannot dictate resolutions to these disputes but must navigate them carefully, following the example of the County of Los Angeles in its restorative justice efforts with these communities. Further, for this important work of healing rifts between communities, selecting members who are willing to work across difference will be absolutely essential for its success.

Further challenges from communities who don’t understand the legitimacy or need for reparative justice work, as well as communities who feel that their unique issues are not addressed through this process will certainly be present. In response the DEI team, together with the Task Force is prepared to do extensive community education to overcome these obstacles, as have the many other communities have who are further along in their reparative justice process.

11.A.b
Packet Pg. 679 Attachment: Attachment B - Feb. 2025 Staff Report (6379 : Equity Plan) Financial Considerations
In this period of elevated uncertainty, the city’s General Fund remains constrained by unprecedented liabilities, a backlog of infrastructure maintenance and capital projects, combined with significantly reduced general fund reserve levels as a result of unprecedented legal liabilities. Therefore, structuring a funding model will be imperative to the success of any reparations program the city implements.

Because the Reparations & Landback Task Force has not yet made their recommendations to Council on what harms to address and what remedies should be considered, we cannot know at this time how much this restorative justice process will cost. Amongst cities that have already begun paying reparations to their residents, price tags have ranged from $2.1 million in Ashville, NC to $10 million in Providence, RI, though notably, these efforts have been aimed at paying reparations for only one community, and not many communities as Council directed in Santa Monica. Funding streams in these cities have included American Rescue Plan Act funding (Providence, RI), instituting a 3% cannabis tax (Evanston, IL), sale of excess government property (Ashville, NC), and re-allocating funding from law enforcement budgets (San Francisco, CA). Other cities have relied on community fundraising. Given the state of the city’s financial challenges, staff will evaluate various funding models as part of its recommendations to implement a reparations program.

It should also be noted that the enduring nature inherent to a high-quality restorative justice process may actually help reduce the city’s immediate financial burden without diluting the city’s commitment to community restoration. Good reparations and Landback processes are not one-and-done solutions. They are long-term commitments that leave the communities and people who participate in them transformed and create expectations for a more equitable future than what was done before. Therefore, the recommendations around reparations funding will need to contemplate the initial funding requirements as well as a mechanism to provide on-going support to the program.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
There is no immediate budget action necessary as a result of recommended action. Staff will return to Council with the associated financial impacts and specific budget actions required based on direction received from Council. Future actions to complete the reparatory justice process will likely be in the $2-10 million dollar range, which can be paid over a period of time, and will include outside and community funding, in partnership with the Task Force.

Staff Report Body
Executive Summary
Santa Monica, a renowned global leader in the areas of sustainability and innovation, has recognized the need to address equity gaps within its community. Years of community engagement efforts and shared insights from community stakeholders have shed light on the disparities faced by Black and Latino communities in the City, revealing that unfortunately, despite its reputation as a progressive city with equity and inclusion as some of its central values, communities of color have experienced division and competition for limited resources. While the City has made significant efforts to address these challenges through internally focused changes and periodic investments into equity focused initiatives, to date there has been no cohesive, community facing plan to treat equity in Santa Monica as a core function of the City. To move forward into an inclusive, multi-faceted and coordinated approach to equity, the City has devised a comprehensive plan that involves evaluating policies for unconscious bias, conducting equity impact assessments for a selection of City projects, empowering residents through grants, and fostering staff growth opportunities, along with a robust community engagement effort that will culminate in the City’s first formalized Equity Plan.

The City will kick off the process with a panel discussion featuring diverse representation to explore the concept of strategic allyship. This will be followed by a seven-month community engagement phase dedicated to collective issue identification, focused on gathering information about residents’ equity priorities and challenges. These engagement opportunities will include large City community listening sessions, held both in person and virtually, as well as smaller, community led meetings. The City will offer stipends to community groups to host these sessions, ensuring diverse voices are heard and their insights can be incorporated into the DEI team’s analysis.

The DEI team will review community input, identify key issues, and collaborate with relevant departments to collate existing programs and policies addressing these challenges. We will then return to the community to co-generate solutions to key issues, with the knowledge of the City’s existing programs as a foundation for the discussions.

Following the community engagement process, the DEI team will present priorities and proposed solutions to the Council and ask the City Council to identify priority areas of focus. An Equity Task Force will be established to manage progress towards Council’s selected priority areas, comprising staff from relevant departments, and a regular system of engagement with the community, the Community Equity Coalition, will be created to foster collaboration among major city institutions, public and private sector partners, community stakeholders, and staff. By implementing this comprehensive plan, Santa Monica aims to proactively address equity challenges, strengthen community engagement, and build a more inclusive and equitable future for all residents. Through a collective effort involving residents, City departments, and diverse stakeholders, Santa Monica is committed to fostering lasting change and achieving multi-dimensional progress that benefits the entire community.

Background
The City of Santa Monica has long been recognized as a leader in municipal governance, from our AAA bond rating to our five-star rated library system, to our long list of accomplishments in the realm of environmental sustainability. However, one area in which the City has yet to play a leading role is in racial equity, as evidenced by our outcomes in this area. According to various sources including Race Counts and Healthy City, Black, Latinx, and Native American Santa Monicans fare worse than white Santa Monicans across nearly every quality-of-life indicator, and many of these inequities have worsened since 2020. As many of us in the community recently learned from reading “The Sum of Us” by Heather McGhee, these inequities not City of Santa Monica

A look at just one economic consequence of racial inequality—Gross Domestic Product (GDP)—reveals that the LA regional GDP would be 58 percent higher if racial gaps in income were eliminated, according to the National Equity Atlas. As an economic engine for the region, the City has both a moral and economic obligation in closing these and other racial disparities. Further, due to the pervasiveness and entrenchment of existing inequalities, a strong and focused approach much like the City’s efforts to address climate change will be required if we ever hope to be a truly equitable community.

Throughout the nation, other municipalities have taken focused actions aimed specifically at addressing institutional racism, starting with the City of Seattle’s Race and Social Justice Initiative in 2004. Since then, dozens of cities have launched offices of equity and other initiatives explicitly targeting institutional racism, leveraging the lessons learned in Seattle. Unfortunately, Santa Monica has taken a slower and more diluted approach in its efforts to combat racism to-date. Though some efforts at inclusion have been made, particularly around affordable housing, the Pico Wellbeing Project and the Black Agenda, the City has yet to take cohesive, citywide action aimed at moving the needle on racial equity. As a result, despite being the 18th largest city in LA County with the fourth largest budget, Santa Monica’s communities of color have at times expressed concern over projects and approaches that favor specific groups over their own, seeing the current equity efforts as “special projects” that have limited reach. This has had the effect historically of turning groups that should be allies into adversaries, who believe they must compete with each other for scarce resources.

While the City organization has lacked robust structures to advance equity in the ways that many other cities have, leaving progress in the hands of a few dedicated City staff, Santa Monica has continued to make progress due to its best resource: its residents. Santa Monica is rich in community organizations that have dedicated, in many cases, decades of energy toward righting the wrongs of the past and closing equity gaps. These groups include, but not necessarily limited to the Human Relations Council (HRC), the Committee for Racial Justice (CRJ), Santa Monica Black Lives Association (SMBLA), Familias Latinas Unidas (FLU), Parent Connection Group (PCG), Pico Neighborhood Association (PNA), the Church in Ocean Park, the Human Services Commission, Public Safety Reform and Oversight Commission, The People Concern, Community Corporation of Santa Monica, Pico Youth and Family Center (PYFC), Black Santa Monica Tours, Ethiopian Community in Santa Monica (ECOMISM), Santa Monica College’s Public Policy Institute and its Division of Equity, Pathways, and Inclusion, the Black Agenda, Virginia Avenue Park Advisory Board, Quinn Research Center, Juneteenth Celebration Committee Inc, Santa Monica League Women Voters, Westside NAACP, Westside MLK Day Coalition, Rent Control Board and Agency, and 18th Street Arts Center along with many other willing allies who have created a strong foundation for the advancement of equity in Santa Monica. It is now time for the City to step forward as a leader in equity through ambitious goals and sustained actions as detailed below.

Best Practices from across the Country
Municipalities across the country have devised programs to repair the harm caused to Communities of Color by structural racism. Each of the cities discussed below has engaged in the development of a citywide equity plan or has created a citywide equity toolkit that guides action and measures progress, and have used these tools to advance transformational equity projects. These programs, examples of which are listed below, can serve as a model for possibilities the City could explore with input from residents, staff, and the City Council. The City is already exploring potentially creating a cannabis equity program in the future as detailed below.

City of Evanston Restorative Housing Program Funded by Cannabis and Real Estate Property Transfer Taxes In June 2019, the governor of Illinois signed the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act into law, which made the sale of recreational marijuana legal effective January 1, 2020. The tax act allows municipalities to adopt ordinances to impose a local tax (up to 3 percent of retail price) on the operation of recreational cannabis dispensaries. In November 2019, the Evanston City Council adopted a resolution to commit the first $10 million of its cannabis tax revenues to fund reparations for housing assistance and relief initiatives for African American residents, economic development programs and opportunities for African American residents and entrepreneurs, and education initiatives for African American residents. The first reparations initiative the City introduced is the Restorative Housing Program, which addresses discriminatory housing policies and practices and inaction by the City from 1919-1969. Program goals include increasing Black homeownership and building generational wealth, improving the retention rate of Black homeowners, revitalizing Black owner-occupied homes, and building intergenerational equity among Black residents. Eligible residents can apply to receive $25,000 toward one of the following areas: down payment/closing cost assistance, home improvement, mortgage assistance and most recently a direct cash payment. With the rollout of its housing initiative, Evanston became the first municipality in the country to fund a reparations program. The City has since passed a real estate transfer tax on the sale of real estate valued over $1.5 million to help boost its reparations fund. The City will continue developing additional reparations initiatives in the future that align with the recommendations listed in the City Council resolution.

City of Saint Paul Children’s Savings Account, Guaranteed Income Pilot and CollegeBound Boost

11.A.c
Packet Pg. 682 Attachment: Attachment C - July 2023 Staff Report (6379 : Equity Plan) The City of Saint Paul launched three related initiatives aimed at helping families meet basic needs to pave the way for economic prosperity while also investing in savings for their children’s education. The People’s Prosperity Guaranteed Income Pilot ran between October 2020 and April 2022. Funded by a mix of public and private dollars, the pilot program provided 150 families with $500 per month in guaranteed income for 18 months to pay for essentials, including food and housing. The City opened the pilot program to families enrolled in CollegeBound Saint Paul, a savings initiative launched by the City to provide each child born to a resident on or after January 1, 2020, with a college savings account, a $50 seed deposit and a $10 bonus deposit in their account every month. Funded by a variety of sources (i.e., City funds and staffing, local community foundations, corporate foundations and donors, and individual donors), CollegeBound Saint Paul is part of the City’s broader efforts to address financial insecurity and educational disparities, which deeply affect households/residents of color in particular. The City’s latest initiative, CollegeBound Boost, builds upon the guaranteed income and college savings initiatives by providing 333 low-income families participating in CollegeBound Saint Paul with $500 in guaranteed monthly income payments for two years and $1,000 deposits in each child’s CollegeBound Saint Paul college savings account. CollegeBound Boost is funded by $4 million in American Rescue Plan funds and $1 million in charitable funds. Income assistance programs of these types are growing in popularity and can also be found in San Francisco, Oakland, Birmingham, Alabama; Phoenix, Arizona; Gainesville, Florida; and Cook County, Illinois, to name a few.

City of Durham DEAR Program for Residents with Suspended Drivers’ Licenses After conducting an analysis that found that the licenses of one in five adults were revoked or suspended because of failure to appear in traffic court or pay court costs, the City of Durham launched the Durham Expunction and Restoration (DEAR) Program in October 2018 to offer free legal assistance with license restoration and expunctions. The analysis also showed that the suspensions disproportionately affected People of Color, and most were as a result of minor offenses such as expired registration or driving without a license. Individuals participating in the program were required to have their driving privileges suspended for a minimum of two years. The City’s Innovation Team collaborated with the Durham District Attorney’s Office, North Carolina Justice Center, Legal Aid of North Carolina, Durham County Criminal Justice Resource Center, and a host of other agencies (i.e., law schools, philanthropies, social justice organizations) over a two-year period to waive $2.7 million in fines and fees that kept more than 11,000 individuals from having their drivers’ licenses reinstated. The City and its partners continue to offer the DEAR Program to assist residents with expunctions and license restoration.

City of Long Beach Cannabis Equity Program
Recognizing that the war on drugs has disproportionately affected Communities of Color, the City of Long Beach established its Cannabis Equity Program to provide equitable opportunities for individuals who have been negatively affected by the criminalization of cannabis. The program aims to address the long-term, negative social impacts to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and low-income communities in Long Beach, including but not limited to loss of property, permanent disqualification from employment opportunities and family and community disintegration. The program provides opportunities in following three areas:
· Business ownership: Equity applicants interested in opening a cannabis business can receive the following assistance to guide them through the application process: access to application workshops, fee waivers, direct grants, expedited application and facility plan check review, cultivation tax deferrals and direct technical assistance. · Employment opportunities: Equity applicants interested in cannabis employment opportunities have access to employment opportunities, job fairs and orientations, and job search assistance. The City connects applicants to adult-use cannabis businesses, which are required to hire equity employees for at least 40 percent of the work hours performed at the business. · Community reinvestment: Every adult-use cannabis business is required to submit plans detailing how it will reinvest in communities affected by the war on drugs and how the business will support one or more of the following community priorities within eligible social equity program census tracts: child and youth development, violence prevention, re-entry, and economic inclusion.

Consideration of Adult-Use Cannabis in Santa Monica and Cannabis Equity Program In November 2022, Santa Monica voters approved Measure HMP, which will allow the City to impose a tax on all commercial cannabis activities. The City Council on June 13, 2023, held a study session on adult-use cannabis. The Council received a presentation on key policy considerations for allowing adult-use cannabis businesses and other non-retail cannabis business types within the City, discussed options for allowing adult-use cannabis sales and associated regulatory restrictions, and provided direction to staff to commence the necessary steps and analysis for creating an adult-use cannabis program and ordinance. The Council expressed interest in establishing a variety of adult-use cannabis uses in the City with clear rules that will provide options for both retail and non-retail uses, protect sensitive uses in the community and advance social equity. The Council’s direction to staff included commencing a cannabis equity study to help inform future policy options for promoting opportunities so those negatively impacted by federal and state enforcement policies can benefit from the newly legalized industry. Staff is working on advancing the Council’s direction beginning with an ordinance to allow the conversion of the existing medicinal cannabis retailers to adult-use later this year. The Council will subsequently vote to affirm permit use, standards and limitations, policy, and regulations at a future meeting prior to implementation. Read more in the staff report (Attachment C)
Actions We Can Take Now

11.A.c
Packet Pg. 683 Attachment: Attachment C - July 2023 Staff Report (6379 : Equity Plan) Given the documented disparities in our community and the growing momentum within the City organization to address equity, there are many things that can be done now to address past harms, break down systemic barriers, and advance equity for all our community members.

Strengthening Staff Expertise
In 2022, representatives of nearly every city department participated in the city’s Racial Equity Committee and undertook projects that made their department’s community engagement strategies more inclusive, opened new pathways into the organization for those wishing to join our workforce and new pathways for mobility within the organization for those wishing to grow their careers, and modified policies to embed equity into daily operations. In 2023, the committee will continue to take on department level projects and will also begin to serve as a resource to the City when issues of bias or hate occur in the community by providing insight to City leadership about effective communications and community involvement. The committee will also spend a portion of its time evaluating existing policies and programs for unconscious bias and sharing its findings with City leadership.

Outside of the Racial Equity Committee, all staff will continue to have opportunities to participate in trainings about Implicit Bias, Interrupting Microaggressions, Bystander Intervention techniques, and more. These trainings provide staff with opportunities to connect with each other, discuss sensitive topics in a supportive environment, and learn how best to integrate the values of equity and inclusion into their daily work, creating a better environment for both staff and our community. The City’s affinity groups, Black Leadership Advocating for Change through Connection and Kinship/Knowledge (BLACCK), the Coalition of Asian and Pacific Employees of Santa Monica (CAPE SM), CommUNITY (a multi-identity affinity group), Out in Santa Monica, and the Santa Monica Alliance of White Anti-Racists, will continue to provide opportunities for staff to grow stronger as allies and advocates.

In addition, to expand our shared understanding of equity and how local government influences equity outcomes for all residents, DEI trainings will be arranged for both Councilmembers and Board and Commission members in 2023-2024.

Assessing Our Impact
Taking the time to consider the City’s work more deeply and how it impacts specific communities will allow us to make informed decisions, proactively address potential disparities, and ensure that our policies and programs uplift and support all members of our diverse community. To that end, the DEI team will initiate a 12-month pilot program that will allow the City to analyze new work in new ways by performing equity impact assessments on four projects selected from a list of initiatives submitted by City department heads for consideration. The team will use an equity impact assessment tool (Attachment D) to review current and future policies, programs, services, procedures, and budget decisions for the City. The analysis process will include understanding the scope and project area of the project/program, population(s), and areas of quality of life that may be affected, strategies for community engagement, potential impacts from the policy/program, and potential mitigation approaches for any negative impacts identified through the analysis process.

Throughout the assessment process, the DEI team will actively collect feedback from the departments leading the work. These engagements will serve to refine the assessment tool throughout the pilot period, ensuring its effectiveness and relevance. By incorporating the valuable insights and experiences of staff, the goal is to enhance the assessment process and strengthen its applicability across various City projects.

The DEI team is committed to providing comprehensive trainings on how to effectively utilize the equity impact assessment tool. Once the pilot period concludes, these trainings will be offered to all City departments. The objective is to encourage widespread adoption of an equity assessment process as an integral part of the regular workflow. By equipping departments with the knowledge and tools necessary to conduct equity impact assessments, we aim to embed equity considerations into the fabric of our decision-making processes, ultimately fostering a more inclusive and equitable city for all residents.

Grants for Equity
Many communities, including our own, have found significant value from developing a grant program that provides residents and community organizations with funds to advance equity in their communities. Santa Monica has done this through Cultural Affairs’ Community Access and Participation (CAP) program that funds exceptional artistic and/or heritage experiences and cultural opportunities which respond to community needs, and via Wellbeing Microgrants, which funded resident led projects that improved quality of life over a variety of areas. The DEI team will develop a similar grant program using the funds generated for equity uses from the Out of Home Kiosk Program, which will be available starting in 2025. In addition, there are vast resources available outside the City that can be applied toward equity programs. Staff will contract with a grant writer to assist with bringing outside funding to equity priorities to further amplify our progress toward transformational change for the communities that need it most.

Developing a Citywide Equity Plan
The efforts detailed above summarize the actions the City can take now with available resources. However, there is a larger goal for this work, and that is to develop and adopt a citywide equity plan that reflects the priorities of the diverse identities in our community, with an approach that is informed by insight from every City department. To develop this plan, we cannot rely on data and information collected prior to the pandemic. We will build on the

11.A.c
Packet Pg. 684 Attachment: Attachment C - July 2023 Staff Report (6379 : Equity Plan) work produced in advocacy by our community stakeholders in recent years by engaging deeply in the community to understand the specific equity priorities for each community, and how the City and community can achieve multi-dimensional progress together.

Creating a citywide equity plan that leverages municipal resources to address equity challenges means aligning views and fostering a sense of mutual support and shared goals among community members. The kickoff event for the community engagement process will feature participation from individuals representing diverse races, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, and more. The focus will be on encouraging the open sharing of identitybased challenges and highlighting the significance of allyship among different identity groups. Actively involving voices from various backgrounds from the start will set a tone of ongoing collaboration and problem-solving, ensuring that our engagement efforts genuinely reflect the needs and concerns of all community members.

Following the kickoff, through a series of open and inclusive discussions, community members will have opportunities to freely express their concerns, share their experiences, and contribute to shaping our collective vision for a more equitable future. These opportunities will include a City hosted community listening session, which will be accessible both in person and virtually, providing an opportunity for a broader audience to come together and voice their perspectives on the critical issues of equity. Offering multiple platforms for participation ensures that community members can engage in a manner that suits their preferences and circumstances, fostering a rich and comprehensive dialogue around equity challenges and potential solutions.

To further amplify community voices and ensure a holistic representation of perspectives, stipends will be made available to individuals and community groups to assist them with holding their own listening sessions. The stipends, funded with 25% of the DEI team’s annual budget will be approved on a first come first serve basis via a public application and will remain available until funds are depleted. The stipends can be used to make the meetings as inclusive as possible, which could include paying for food, location, childcare, interpretation services or other accommodations for participants.

These stipends will enable community members to convene focused discussions, allowing for deeper exploration of specific equity concerns within their respective groups. To facilitate meaningful analysis and incorporation of the discussions in the development of citywide equity priorities, we will provide standardized documentation packets to guide the sessions and ensure that the valuable insights gathered are effectively integrated into our equity team's analysis. Listening sessions will run for a duration of eight weeks, providing ample time for comprehensive engagement, and capturing diverse perspectives from across the community.

This approach aims to create a robust framework for capturing resident input, understanding their unique equity priorities, and leveraging their collective wisdom to drive informed decision-making. By engaging residents at various levels, from large community sessions to focused group discussions, the DEI team is committed to fostering an inclusive and participatory approach that empowers every member of our community to contribute to the advancement of equity and social justice.

Following the community engagement process, the DEI team will review and analyze the community feedback to identify major themes and collaborate with departments to identify existing programs and policies that could address each theme. From there, the team will develop a reference guide listing existing City programs, policies and priorities that have been created to address the challenges identified and will share that information with the community.

The DEI team will host hybrid community meetings to share the major themes identified during the engagement process and share the existing City programs, policies, and priorities currently in place that are related to the areas of focus from the community. The team will again open an application process to offer stipends to individuals and community groups to host a series of working meetings where residents will document recommended solutions to the major themes to help bridge the gap between solutions offered by existing City programs, policies and priorities, and new programs, policies and initiatives that could be developed.

At the conclusion of the analysis stage, the DEI team will present the community identified priorities, along with proposed solutions to the City Council for consideration and endorsement, to ensure that the Council is informed about the identified areas of focus, can share their preferred priority areas from those identified by the community and staff, and can provide support and guidance in driving equity initiatives. These priorities will become the City’s equity plan for the following five years, and the team will provide regular updates to the Council and the community regarding the progress made toward each goal.

Implementing the Citywide Equity Plan
To facilitate internal collaboration in service of the identified equity priorities, many of which will likely require many departments to collaborate, a dedicated Equity Task Force will be established, consisting of staff members from relevant departments. This task force will convene monthly meetings to develop a comprehensive work plan that includes clear milestones and a timeline. With recognition that, for most departments, the initiatives selected will create additional work for City staff, the DEI team will also be available to embed within departments for three-month rotations, providing support and expertise in research and development to prevent delays due to lack of capacity. This approach ensures that progress is achieved in a

11.A.c
Packet Pg. 685 Attachment: Attachment C - July 2023 Staff Report (6379 : Equity Plan) coordinated and consistent manner and allows departments to serve as valued subject matter experts in shaping new equity initiatives that are created to respond to the priorities set by the community.

Communities are not stagnant, and a one-time engagement process will not yield the deeper connection and collaboration with our residents that would best serve the work of advancing equity in Santa Monica. A Community Equity Coalition will be created following the principles of the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation model. This engagement will involve major city institutions, both public and private sector partners, community stakeholders, and staff members. These quarterly meetings will emphasize truth-telling, addressing systemic racism, and fostering healing and transformation. These sessions will also provide dedicated time to address emerging community concerns, ensuring that evolving needs and challenges are promptly addressed and incorporated into ongoing equity initiatives.

By implementing this comprehensive approach, the DEI team aims to foster a culture of equity, inclusion, and active community engagement. Through collaborative efforts, transparent decision-making processes, and ongoing dialogue, the City seeks to achieve meaningful and sustainable transformation while ensuring that community priorities remain at the forefront of its endeavors.

Legal Considerations
While the advancement of equity is a priority for the City, it is also important to keep in mind the existing state and federal legal framework regarding preferential treatment, based upon race, sex color, ethnicity, or national origin, including Proposition 209 (which prohibits preferential treatment in the areas of public employment, public education, and public contracting) as well as the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on the grounds that these programs violated the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Staff will endeavor to address the equity gaps in Santa Monica in a manner that both addresses systemic racism that was generated and reinforced by historical wrongdoings while being mindful of the considerations above, with the understanding that within each individual effort a myriad of social identities including gender, sexual orientation, class, and ability benefit from the more inclusive policies generated by these efforts.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
The stipends referenced in this report will be funded via the DEI team’s budget at $25,000, which is included in the City Manager’s Office budget for Fiscal year 2023-2024.

Subject: RE: DEI Project Support - Demographic Self-Report Data No worries and thank you, Lisa!
I think it would make sense to determine demographic categories based on the intention behind the data collection. I’m assuming that the demographic data would be used internally to understand who is accessing services. If so, I think it’s important to make these survey questions accessible and inclusive without becoming a barrier to completing an application. For example, if specific demographics are not required for eligibility, perhaps there can be a “prefer not to say” option so that an individual can still apply without providing sensitive information. Perhaps the online form can also include an option to “skip” demographic questions if someone automatically qualifies due to high need (e.g., family experiencing homelessness, youth in foster system, etc.). This might increase efficiency in getting services to individuals with higher need who may be wary of complex forms.

When presenting the demographic categories, I would want to provide a statement explaining the reason or intention behind data collection. (I provided a few examples in my prior email, but a starting point could be: “We respect human diversity and understand that [sexual orientation and gender identity and expressions, or other applicable demographic data point] are sensitive and personal matters. To improve the effectiveness of our organization and ensure we address the needs of our [Santa Monica] community, please let us know the following demographic information.” (source))

RACIAL EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT TOOL
Why assess how racial and ethnic groups are impacted by our decisions? Asking questions related to racial equity can have a meaningful impact on city programs, policies, services and procedures. We strongly recommend that departments read through the questions below when working on programs, policies, services and procedures. We also advise departments to coordinate with their EIO and the DEI Team before any action is taken.

Why do we lead with race in our approach?
We lead with race because racism is baked into policies, practices and procedures that continue to perpetuate racial inequities across all systems. There are race-based inequities across all identities (e.g., age, gender identity, disability, religion, socioeconomic status, language, and citizenship status) that must be acknowledged. Racial equity is a process of eliminating racial disparities and improving outcomes for everyone no matter their identities. It’s when race can no longer be used to predict life outcomes.

PRE-PLANNING

1. Who will benefit from or be burdened by the particular proposed policy, practice or decision?
a. Does the decision worsen or ignore existing disparities?

2. What does the current data tell us?

3. Are there strategies to mitigate the unintended consequences?

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

4. Are all racial and ethnic groups that are affected by the policy, practice or decision at the table? How have you included the Gabrielino, Tongva and Kizh meaningfully in this process?
a. What are the racial equity impacts of this particular decision?

5. How specifically have you engaged communities?

6. How is the proposed policy, practice or decision perceived by each group?

7. Have you made an effort to build relationships with community members who you intend to solicit information from or partner with?

Dear Mayor Negrete and Members of the City Council,

I would like to express our strong support for the City’s Equity Plan as presented in Item 11A. As a longstanding nonprofit partner of the City, we collaborate with you and many other organizations to support equity principles here in Santa Monica to create a more inclusive community. The Equity Plan prepared by the City’s staff, led by Lisa Parson, is an impressive and well thought out set of strategies and actions that will demonstrate the City’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusiveness. The level of community outreach was particularly impressive. We hope that the City Council will agree to not only adopt this Plan but to implement the recommendations in the plan with urgency.

Thank you,
Tara

EXTERNAL
Dear Mayor Negrete and Esteemed Councilmembers,
I am writing to express my appreciation for the City of Santa Monica’s bold and necessary steps toward acknowledging and repairing historical harms through the Citywide Equity Plan and the emerging Reparations & Landback framework. These initiatives represent a meaningful response to generations of injustice and exclusion experienced by many of Santa Monica’s historically marginalized communities— including the Black, Indigenous, Latino, Jewish, and disabled residents whose stories were far too long erased or ignored.

The Council’s adoption of racial justice, equity, and social diversity as a strategic priority, the 2022 Black Apology, and the forthcoming Reparations & Landback Task Force reflect not just moral leadership, but an institutional shift that centers truth, healing, and restoration. I commend the City for framing equity as both a value and a shared responsibility embedded across departments and community partnerships.

However, as the implementation phase of these efforts begins, I urge Council to address several key pain points that could hinder the long-term success of this transformative work:

Pain Points

1. Limited Fiscal Flexibility and Funding Sources
The City’s constrained General Fund, legal liabilities, and infrastructure backlogs raise questions about the feasibility of implementing reparative programs without sustainable financing mechanisms.

2. Community Tensions and Representation Disputes
The Reparations Study Session notes that historical trauma, internal division, and disputes over rightful representation—especially among Indigenous groups—could fracture community solidarity if not navigated with care.

3. Public Awareness and Buy-in
Resistance to restorative justice efforts—particularly from residents unaware of Santa Monica’s historical role in systemic harm—may jeopardize implementation unless addressed through consistent, transparent community education.

Item 11-A

11.A.l
Packet Pg. 728 Attachment: Written Comment (6379 : Equity Plan) 2 4. Risk of Performative Action Without Measurable Impact Without well-resourced metrics and accountability mechanisms, there is a risk that the Equity Plan and Reparations Task Force become symbolic rather than transformative.

Recommendations for Sustainable Solutions
 Establish a Dedicated Reparations and Equity Fund
Consider reallocating underutilized city-owned assets, leveraging public-private partnerships, and exploring voter-approved measures to support ongoing investments. A multi-year funding strategy could model successful approaches in cities like Evanston, Providence, and Palm Springs.
 Codify a Restorative Justice Framework in Policy
Move beyond resolutions by integrating restorative justice principles into the City’s charter or municipal code—ensuring these efforts outlast political cycles and staffing transitions.  Strengthen Community Education and Narrative Shifting Expand partnerships with schools, faith-based institutions, and neighborhood groups to host truth-telling forums, intergenerational storytelling projects, and cultural preservation initiatives to normalize this work across the city.
 Create an Independent Equity Accountability Body
Establish an oversight committee with budget review authority and representation from impacted communities to track progress across departments and ensure timely implementation of Equity Plan projects.
 Prioritize Reparations-Eligible Residents in Housing and Economic Development Programs While complying with legal limits under Prop 209, programs can be targeted using race-neutral indicators, such as geographic displacement (e.g., the Belmar Triangle, Pico neighborhood) and historical property loss, ensuring that benefits reach the communities most impacted.

Santa Monica has an opportunity to become a national model for municipal-level reparative justice. The roadmap has been drawn by your staff and shaped by the voices of those who have endured and survived inequity. Now, the challenge is to resource, implement, and protect this vision—ensuring that the legacy of equity is not just planned, but lived.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to a Santa Monica where every resident is seen, heard, and valued. I welcome continued collaboration and stand ready to support this work in any way possible.

With respect and solidarity,
Angela

Dear Mayor Negrete, Mayor Pro Tem Torosis and City Council Members:

As the Great Park Coalition Regenerative Sustainability Working Group, we support the adoption of the City of Santa Monica’s Citywide Equity Plan and that “The City of Santa Monica is committed to addressing past harms, breaking down systemic barriers, and advancing equity for all our community members.” The Great Park Coalition’s (GPC) effort is a non-partisan, diverse group currently made up of over 65 organizations (representing 20,000 individuals) as well as almost 800 listed individual supporters. The GPC welcomes all future uses of the airport site that are compliant with Measure LC and which align with the five Guiding Principles for the Santa Monica Airport Conversion (SMAC) Project. The Equity Plan’s overall aims reflect the essence of the GPC’s values and the sense that reclaiming our public land would offer everyone in our Santa Monica community the enjoyments of and benefits from the ecological gifts offered at the Great Park.

We positively highlight Goal 3, which includes input from the City Manager’s Office & Community Development Department:
“Advance equity as part of the Santa Monica Airport conversion | 2030 Advance equity on the site of the airport’s conversion, including the construction of a multicultural center and the rewilding of the land in accordance with native practices, in partnership with the Kuruvungna Springs Foundation.” Rewilding the airport land aligns with the SMAC Project Guiding Principle “Start with Nature” and a “multicultural center” aligns with “Celebrate Place.” Embracing multiculturalism and rewilding is significant and essential. Cultural diversity and biodiversity are fundamental to our existence on Earth, and nurturing human and habitat health involves Santa Monica doing what it can to heal past harms and to care conscientiously for our present and future well-being by uplifting our relationships to each other and to Nature as interdependent. Our Rights of Nature/Sustainability Rights Ordinance deems no less.

What it specifically means to construct a multicultural center and to include rewilding to advance equity as part of the recreation of our public land at the airport site can generate thoughtful, open discussions as part of our community’s process. These goals should be considered within the context of and integrated thoughtfully into the overall SMAC project planning process being careful to respect the multi-year SMAC Project process itself.

The Tongva also have a vast understanding of the local ecosystem, including the plants, animals, and natural processes.

This knowledge, accumulated over generations, guides their land management practices also known as Traditional Ecological Knowledge.

The Equity Plan’s SMAC inclusion would be entirely appropriate, as it would support the creation of a nature-based regeneration and restorative ecosystem in keeping with, indeed bringing alive, the Guiding Principles of the Santa Monica Airport Conversion Project that have been adopted by the Santa Monica City Council.

Dear City Council:

I’m Bob Ramirez, a long-time resident of Santa Monica, a Designer and Builder of homes and landscapes, a Santa Monica Arts Commissioner, and the President and Director of the Gabrielino Tongva Springs Foundation, the Land Steward of Kuruvungna Village Springs.

The 1938 mural in the lobby of City Hall depicts the first contact between the Portola Expedition and the Native People at Kuruvungna Springs on August 4, 1769. This mural recently became the subject of Reframe, which proposed recommendations which were approved unanimously by the City Council last year.

Recommendation #8 to ‘Facilitate Land Back in Santa Monica’, and Recommendation #9, to ‘Facilitate Kuruvungna Springs Relationship’ has offered us an opportunity to address and correct an historical injury to our native habitat: the complete erasure of the local native environment by development.

The Great Park project will transform the 192 acres of airport land; a portion of this land should be given back to the native plants and animals that also call this land their home.

Santa Monica covers 8.4 square miles of developed land; 40 acres of airport land, less than 1% of the area of the City, could be restored with native habitats and provide educational, recreational and spiritual opportunities for the future.

Kuruvungna Springs:

Our work at Kuruvungna Village Springs involves the restoration of the 2-acre site in partnership with native plant specialists, community groups, and an enthusiastic army of volunteers.

Traditional Ecology Knowledge has allowed us to transform a once abandoned and neglected site into a sanctuary and refuge for Native Life.

Our deep experience with the land and water, creating relationships with our plant and animal relatives, will enable us to collaborate meaningfully with the airport conversion team.

Recycle the Runway:

The 35,000 cubic yards of concrete runway can be recycled into a Tongva inspired spiral-ramped Ziggurat, enveloped with native plants, leading up to a promontory with vistas of the mountains and the bay.

Captured rainwater, impounded in an artificial aquifer and pumped using solar power, create springs emerging on the north facing slope to irrigate lush vegetation, before percolating back into the basin through layers of crushed runway.

Here is a brief presentation of this concept:

This living, breathing monument embraces the Five Guiding Principles of the Great Park Design:
 Start with Nature
 Inspire Wonder
 Balance Economics
 Amplify Versatility
 Celebrate Space

We ask that this small parcel of Land be given Back to the Native Plants and Animals which will benefit our entire community in ways we have yet to understand.

Thank You for your support for our future Great Park.

Dear Mayor Negrete, Mayor Pro Tem Torosis and Councilmembers, The Santa Monica Great Park Coalition, a grassroots community organization composed of more than 65 non-profit organizations representing more than 20,000 community members, shares and supports the goals of the Equity Plan, and believes that they can be furthered by the conversion of the Santa Monica Airport into a Great Park.

While the GPC takes no positions on specific uses and programs to be included in the park (at this time), we are excited to note that the draft plan includes reference to the closure of the airport and the future of the land there, as a means to expand pathways to opportunity for historically underserved communities in Santa Monica, and specifically refers to a proposal from one of our coalition members, the Kuruvungna Springs Foundation. Our Regenerative Sustainability Working Group is sending you a separate letter on that proposal. Again, while GPC does not have positions on specific proposals, we can say that it is exciting that there would be a way to relate the environmental restorative aspects of the park to the land’s pre-colonization environment, cultures and history.

We do, however, want to point out ways that a park replacing the airport will further the goals of the Equity Plan. We must not forget that due to redlining and restrictive covenants “minorities” (we use that word in its historical sense) in Santa Monica were restricted to living in certain areas — principally along the railroad tracks and industrial areas (the Pico Neighborhood) and in Ocean Park (which was where Santa Monica’s skid row was located). These are the areas of the city where even today most of our economically disadvantaged residents live (e.g., where the schools have the highest number of pupils qualifying for subsidized lunches), predominantly in apartments. Additionally in Sunset Park, half the housing units are apartments, the vast majority of them (3,309 as of 2021) rent-controlled.

Because these neighborhoods are dense they have relatively few parks. They have high percentages of apartment dwellers who need parks for recreation and for picnics. They also bear the brunt of environmental impacts from Santa Monica’s industrial history. The pollution from the freeway that ripped through the Pico Neighborhood and from the airport falls mostly on these neighborhoods. However, and Item 11-A

Thank you for your consideration. The Great Park Coalition stands ready to support the City’s efforts to advance equity in a meaningful way in the coming years.

Packet Pg. 777 Attachment: Powerpoint Presentation [Revision 1] (6379 : Equity Plan) The City of Santa Monica is committed to addressing past harms, breaking down systemic barriers, and advancing equity for all our community members.

The following goals are embedded within the plan and are described in greater detail in the sections that follow:

11.A.m
Packet Pg. 778 Attachment: Powerpoint Presentation [Revision 1] (6379 : Equity Plan) Placing residents at the forefront allows the City to
unlock the wealth of knowledge, experiences, and
aspirations that lie within the community, and in
doing so creates ways for groups that traditionally
do not engage in government processes to be
heard. The development of the Citywide Equity
Plan followed traditional and nontraditional paths
to achieve this goal. The effort launched with a
panel discussion on strategic allyship in September
2023, followed by a seven-month community
engagement phase focused on identifying equity
priorities and challenges. The DEI team hosted
large public listening sessions, both in person
and online, and tried something new by offering
stipends to participants to ensure broader and
more inclusive engagement.

Building on this input, the DEI team collaborated
with City departments to assess existing programs
and policies to address key community concerns.

In March 2024, the City re-engaged the community
through another round of stipend-supported
meetings—this time to co-create potential solutions
to the top issues identified in fall 2023.

that featured seasoned public servants who now
lead impactful DEI work across the country. To
further include staff perspectives, the DEI team
administered an equity survey, both online and
on paper, to reach as many staff as possible. The
survey’s more than 250 responses reflected a wide
range of perspectives, from skepticism about the
organization’s commitment to equity to strong
expressions of support.

The Black community in Santa Monica has

Inkwell” beach was one of the few safe
recreational spaces for Black families in the
20th century. Since 1980, the Black population in
Santa Monica has steadily declined due to rising
costs and disinvestment, and the community
continues to experience anti-Black racism
in everyday life. Today, Black residents are
calling for reparative justice such as monetary
compensation, the return of community land,
expanded Black homeownership, and ongoing
investment in Black-led organizations.

City Council Meeting: July 29, 2025
Agenda Item: 11.B
1 of 7
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Oliver Chi, City Manager, City Manager's Office
Subject: Ebony Beach Club
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council review the materials provided by the City Attorney’s Office and provide direction to staff on next steps with the heirs of Silas White and the Ebony Beach Club nonprofit.

Summary
On March 19, 2024, the City Council directed staff to research the history and provide information on claims brought forward to the City regarding the seizure of property around the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium that was intended to be used as the Ebony Beach Club, which, today consists of approximately 6% of the total square footage of the Viceroy leasehold and does not include the Viceroy hotel building. The Ebony Beach Club was a Black-led nonprofit social club founded by entrepreneur Silas White with the goal of providing a welcoming community space for Black members at a time when the beach and many other areas remained segregated. Though Mr. White had entered into a lease-to-own agreement and made initial investments toward opening the club, the property was condemned as part of a larger civic development plan, and the club never opened.

This case reflects a broader pattern of redevelopment in Santa Monica that disproportionately displaced communities of color, as documented in the Belmar Triangle. While legal at the time, such actions are now examined through the lens of restorative justice. The City is committed to fully examining the facts and factors

11.B
Packet Pg. 800
2 of 7
surrounding the seizure of this land and, therefore, staff now seeks Council direction on the matter. Staff recommends that the City offer to enter into mediation with a mediator of the White family’s choosing and to cover the costs up to $15,000 with the goal of better understanding all perspectives and identifying appropriate means of restitution.

Discussion
Silas C. White was a prominent Black entrepreneur who owned a few businesses and some property in Santa Monica and the surrounding area. In the late 1950s, he embarked on his vision to create the Ebony Beach Club, the first beach club to welcome Black families in Santa Monica. On March 19, 2024, Silas White’s family spoke before the Santa Monica City Council claiming that the site where the proposed Ebony Beach Club was to be located ― the area used primarily as an access road near where the Viceroy Hotel now sits ― was taken by the city in the late 1950s in a racially motivated eminent domain action.

In bringing the case forward, the family is seeking the return of land or financial compensation, comparing their situation to the Bruce’s Beach case in Manhattan Beach. In response to the claims from the White family, the City Council asked the City Manager and City Attorney, in consultation with relevant departments, to report back with:

1. Historical records documenting Silas White’s interest in the Ebony Beach Club Property at 1811 Ocean Avenue including chain of title and a record of any lease-to-purchase agreements that may exist, as well as the record of actions taken by the City of Santa Monica to seize this property by eminent domain.

2. Contemporaneous public writings, government communications, court documents, and other evidence that indicates the City of Santa Monica exercised racial animus in its decision to seize the property at 1811 Ocean Avenue.

3. Recommendations that include, at a minimum, steps the City of Santa Monica should take to repair past harm that the City perpetuated against Silas White and his descendants related to the Ebony Beach Club property at 1811 Ocean Avenue.

11.B
Packet Pg. 801
3 of 7
In response to Council direction, staff undertook a thorough review of the Ebony Beach Club case, assembling legal documents, court records, and contemporaneous media coverage. All of the materials uncovered through this process are publicly available at santamonica.gov/equity. In August 2024, those findings were shared with representatives of the White family, who responded with an initial estimate of $125,000 in economic loss in 1959 as a base line to determine present-day value of that lost opportunity. The City asked for supporting documentation on December 19, 2024, and is awaiting additional information.

This case is not simply about a parcel of land; it brings into focus a pattern of redevelopment decisions that disproportionately harmed communities of color in Santa Monica. The Ebony Beach Club was not an isolated case. The use of eminent domain in Santa Monica has been shown to disproportionately impact Black and Brown residents, businesses, and neighborhoods. The City’s own Statement of Apology, posted publicly in 2021, acknowledges that civic planning decisions dating back to the 1920s often resulted in the displacement of communities of color—frequently under the guise of urban renewal or public benefit.

The Ebony Beach Club story fits squarely within this broader historical pattern. As documented by historian Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson and others, cities across the country—including Santa Monica—routinely used condemnation to interrupt Black social and economic advancement. Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law describes how such legal tools, while facially neutral, were deployed with racially targeted effects, often in service of furthering segregation.

These harms, once deemed legal and even routine, now call for serious examination through the lens of restorative justice. The question before Council is not only whether harm occurred, but how we choose to respond given what we now know.

Summary of Ebony Beach Club History

11.B
Packet Pg. 802
4 of 7
In 1957, Silas White & Associates signed a lease-to-purchase agreement for the property at 1811 Ocean Avenue, then owned by Bennett Dorsey. The agreed purchase price was $200,000, to be paid in monthly installments of $2,700 over 15 years.

The first page of the Agreement acknowledged Seller’s receipt of $8,250 from the Buyer but does not specify what portion of that was paid by Mr. White or by his associates.

Nor are there any records or claims made by Silas White or the Ebony Beach Club that any other purchase payments were made. Presumably, lacking access to traditional capital—common for Black entrepreneurs of the era—White formed a nonprofit, Ebony Beach Club Inc., to manage the project and begin building a membership base.

Investments were made in property improvements, advertisements were published, and more than 400 prospective members expressed interest in joining.

But in August 1958, the City filed a complaint for condemnation to acquire five parcels of land—including the site of the planned club—under the authority of eminent domain.

In 1959, a court awarded $74,000 to Dorsey and the Dickson family (who had loaned Dorsey money) and concluded that Ebony Beach Club Inc. had no right, title, or interest in the land. The club never opened and there is no record of whether any funds were shared by the landowners with Mr. White or the Ebony Beach Club, Inc..

Additional factors also complicate analysis of if and how best to provide restitution in this matter. Silas White and his investors were in a lease-to-own agreement rather than holding title outright, and they transferred any interest they had to a nonprofit corporation led by Mr. White, who died in 1962. Because the property was condemned, any chance the Ebony Beach Club Inc. had to purchase the property was prematurely foreclosed. The Ebony Beach Club Inc.’s nonprofit corporation status was inactivated on April 3, 1972. These details raise important questions about how compensation, ownership, and lost opportunities should be understood in hindsight, given the discrimination Blacks encountered in the financial market at that time. Indeed, how does one measure the loss to the Black community and to Santa Monica, of having the first Black-owned beach club in the country?

11.B
Packet Pg. 803
5 of 7
From a legal standpoint, this was a straightforward property dispute. Those involved in making the decision were barred from considering anything beyond the fair market value of the real estate—no matter the investments made, the benefit to the community, or the racial dynamics that may have informed the City's planning decisions. The legal record makes clear that questions of necessity, bad faith, or racial discrimination were, by law, explicitly excluded from judicial review at that time. However, much like redlining and segregation, the law does not always correlate with justice and the use of eminent domain in the past frequently correlated with the removal of a community that was perceived as less desirable to the majority population.

Because of the complexity of this situation, staff recommends the City extend an offer to enter into mediation with the White family. Engaging in formal mediation with the White family, facilitated by a credentialed mediator of their choice with costs covered by the City, would allow both parties to explore facts, intentions, and potential resolutions in a structured, good-faith process. Alternatively, Council may also decide, given the current facts, to take no further action at this time unless additional information is made available.

Beyond Ebony Beach: The Need for a Broader Framework
As with all restorative processes, this situation raises complex questions: What constitutes harm? Who has standing to seek repair? What forms of compensation are just—not just legally, but morally? While there are no easy answers, there is a growing recognition that repair is not a one-time transaction but an ongoing commitment to truth, equity, and transformation. While no action can undo the loss of the Ebony Beach Club, these recommendations represent a chance to affirm the City’s commitment to equity by addressing a specific injustice with care and accountability. In doing so, Council can help shape a future where our community is no longer stained by the legacy of exclusion.

While the White Family came forward to advocate for their family’s legacy specifically and should be heard and addressed directly, it is important to acknowledge that this is likely not the only case where a resident, family, or community organization experienced

11.B
Packet Pg. 804
6 of 7
lasting harm through eminent domain. The erasure of the Belmar Triangle and other redevelopment actions suggest a wider legacy of displacement. As such, there is a growing need for a Citywide framework—one that includes benchmarks for analysis, clear criteria for eligibility, and a transparent process for review.

Such a framework would help ensure that Santa Monica’s approach to repair is not only consistent but grounded in the lived experiences of those impacted. It would also signal to the broader community that we are willing to do the work—not just to acknowledge past harms, but to meaningfully address them.

This case, alongside others like it has helped inform the City’s broader reparative justice work, including the creation of the Landback & Reparations Task Force, which began its work in April 2025 and is dedicated to addressing the historical and ongoing harms faced by communities who have experienced systemic loss of land, housing, and opportunity in Santa Monica. Supported by the City's Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Team, this Task Force offers a unique opportunity to take an active role in historical research, truth-telling, and community engagement, resulting in the development of a Harms Report, and culminating in actionable recommendations for reparative justice to include a reparations program to be adopted by City Council.

Environmental Review
The recommended Council actions in this report are not a “project” subject to CEQA.

Pursuant to CEQA Section 21065, the recommendations do not meet the definition of a “project” subject to CEQA as it will not “cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” Additionally, per Section 15378(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, a “project” does not include organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Therefore, the recommendation is not subject to CEQA.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions

11.B
Packet Pg. 805

If Council approves staff recommendation, there is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary, Staff will utilize no more than $15,000 of available General Fund budget for the cost to engage a mediator. Staff will return to Council if specific financial actions are required in the future.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Arminé Chaparyan, Director, Administration
Subject: Public Hearing and Adoption of Resolution Approving Proposed Civic Center Specific Plan Amendment; and Introduction for First Reading to Adopt the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement for RAND’s existing institutional office building located at 1776 Main Street Recommended Action
Recommendation that the City Council take following actions pertaining to RAND’s headquarters building located at 1776 Main Street:

1. Adopt a finding of categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Class 1 Exemption (Existing Facilities));

2. Adopt a resolution approving a Civic Center Specific Plan Amendment; and

3. Introduce an ordinance for first reading to adopt the Second Amendment to the RAND Development Agreement.

Executive Summary
The RAND Corporation (“RAND”) proposes a Second Amendment to its Development Agreement to allow its existing institutional office building located at 1776 Main Street to update and expand allowable uses within the existing building, remove barriers to leasing and/or transferring the project site, and provide additional community benefits.

RAND’s August 1, 2023 request1for a broader range of permitted uses would be applicable only to the project site, and includes business and professional office, creative office, banks and financial institutions, business services, limited life sciences 1 On August 1, 2023, RAND filed the following: (a) an application to terminate the First Amended Development Agreement (23ENT-0137), (b) an application to amend the CCSP to contemplate a broader range of uses within the project (23ENT-0142), and (c) an application to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow a broader range of uses within the project (23ENT-0143) that was determined to be unnecessary.

12.A
Packet Pg. 815
2 of 14
research and development, media production support facilities, and retail/personal services/restaurant uses. No new construction of floor area is proposed.

RAND’s existing building was approved for construction by the City Council in 2000 via a development agreement that only authorized “institutional office” based on the overriding purpose of the original development which was to provide RAND with new replacement office space when it sold land to the City’s Redevelopment Agency where its then-existing building was located (now Tongva Park and the mixed-use Village Project).

A Civic Center Specific Plan (CCSP) Amendment accompanies RAND’s proposed Second Amendment to ensure consistency with the site-specific expanded uses requested for RAND’s property at 1776 Main Street. The City Council is considering a recommendation to adopt a finding that the project, including the proposed Second Amendment to Development Agreement and Civic Center Specific Plan Amendment, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities).

In summary, staff recommends approval of the proposed Second Amendment to the RAND Development Agreement and Civic Center Specific Plan Amendment based on the following key points:
• Allows for a reasonable range of uses in an existing commercial with operational attributes similar to its authorized institutional office use. All proposed permitted uses are consistent with the City's Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE). • Removes barriers to fuller utilization and occupancy of a property that has been significantly underutilized due in part to the global rise of remote and hybrid work and associated changes in workplace norms.
• Creates opportunities for additional local business commerce and activity in Santa Monica’s Civic Center with a new tenancy.
• Provides significant community benefits that will support City services and priorities following good faith negotiation between the City and RAND.

Project Information
Discussion
Existing Building and Development Agreement
RAND is a non-profit public policy organization that was founded in Santa Monica in 1948. The existing RAND headquarters building at 1776 Main Street opened over 20 years ago in 2004. It has approximately 326,170 square feet of Floor Area and 811 parking spaces.

The RAND headquarters building is governed by a Development Agreement that was approved by the City Council on October 24, 2000 and the Coastal Commission (CDP Nos. 5-01-196 and 5-01-445) in 2001. The Development Agreement was amended in August 2012 to allow conversion of a portion of the P1 level of the subterranean parking garage for RAND use as offices for production, warehousing and distribution, a call center and research. Although up to 17,300 square feet was approved for conversion, RAND ultimately found space within the above-grade levels for most of these uses and only converted about 5,500 square feet of the P1 parking area to support functions/offices.

The Development Agreement covers the 3.86 acres of land retained by RAND after it sold approximately 11.3 of the 15 acres it previously owned to the City’s Redevelopment Agency. The existing building replaced RAND’s prior 295,000 squarefoot headquarters. The 11.3 acres sold to the City’s Redevelopment Agency is now improved with Tongva Park and the mixed-use Civic Center Village Project.

As RAND’s original Development Agreement was approved with the assumption that RAND would occupy the building throughout the 55-year term of the Development Agreement (until November 23, 2055), it restricts use of the existing building/property in three key ways:

12.A
Packet Pg. 817
4 of 14

1. Because the office building was envisioned as RAND’s “forever home,” the Development Agreement only allows “Institutional Office Use,” which is defined as research, analysis, educational, philanthropic or charitable uses, and accessory uses. Institutional Office is not a use category in the Zoning Ordinance. In 2000, this term was specifically crafted for RAND’s project.

2. The Development Agreement restricts RAND’s ability to transfer the property to another user absent a DA amendment unless the transferee is also an “Institutional Office Use” and other criteria are met.

3. The Development Agreement limits RAND’s ability to lease the property to nonRAND users to a maximum size of 15,000 square feet. If RAND wants to lease out more than 15,000 square feet in this building, a DA amendment is required.

The original Development Agreement included substantial community benefits; these include:
• Dedication of land and construction of Vicente Terrace. • Dedication of land and construction of a sidewalk along Main Street. • RAND’s contribution of $500,000 to the City for the purpose of supporting a future early childhood development center in the Civic Center District. This center has since been realized with the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School opening in September 2021.
• RAND’s building is LEED Gold Certified and utilizes reclaimed/recycled water for toilet flushing and landscaping.

RAND remains in good faith compliance with all Development Agreement obligations.

Finally, two Minor Modifications to the Development Agreement have been approved since the project was approved in 2000:

1. A June 16, 2011 Minor Modification allowed for relocation of a pedestrian pathway to the Village project in return for RAND transferring certain land to the City for desired City improvements.

2. A January 20, 2023 Minor Modification replaced RAND’s obligation for an annual community conference on early childhood development research with an annual

12.A
Packet Pg. 818
5 of 14
contribution of $40,000 to the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School for financial aid to offset tuition for low-income Santa Monica resident families through the expiration of the Development Agreement on November 23, 2055.

Discussion
Second Amendment to the Development Agreement
Since approval of the original Development Agreement over 24 years ago, RAND’s employee and visitor utilization/occupancy of the building has fundamentally changed, in large part due to “work-from-home” mandates resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that ultimately led to dramatic and permanent changes in RAND employee work location policy and employee and visitor occupancy/utilization of the project. With so few employees in a relatively large facility, the work environment no longer meets RAND’s needs.

More specifically, based on discussions to better understand why this amendment is necessary, RAND noted that only an average of 225 employees come to the building on any given day (less than 25% of the project’s employee capacity) – and that such low utilization of the building represents inefficient use of RAND’s financial capital and constitutes unnecessary spending on facilities that in turn reduces resources that could be used directly for public policy research that is core to RAND’s nonprofit mission.

Furthermore, City staff agrees the property’s underutilization results in a decrease in daily office visits, foot traffic, and patronage of local businesses, which impacts the vitality of the Civic Center and Downtown areas as envisioned by the LUCE and CCSP goals and polices for the Civic Center District.

The City and RAND engaged in extensive negotiations to define the expanded land uses, vested rights, and community benefits that form the core of the Second Amendment. It is important to note that through this process, City staff and RAND reached agreement on all the terms presented with this report. The following sections provide a summary of the key aspects of RAND’s proposal.

Permitted Land Uses

12.A
Packet Pg. 819
6 of 14
During negotiations, City staff and RAND reviewed different variations of permitted uses to ensure the final recommendation would be consistent with the LUCE and CCSP’s vision for a “vibrant mixed-use district” that includes employment/offices, retail, open space, recreation, and cultural and government uses. RAND's proposal presented with this report focuses on commercial uses including categories of offices, media production, and limited life sciences research and development that have a high level of similarity to “Institutional office" use in terms of the physical activities occurring with the building. This proposal also allows companion retail, restaurant, and business services that would serve the broader district. Moreover, allowing this range of proposed uses would help effectuate the Civic Center Specific Plan’s vision for the Village Special Use District while also limiting potential impacts to surrounding uses.

The following land uses are proposed in Section 6 of the Second Amendment:

As defined in SMMC Section 9.51:
• Business and Professional offices and Creative offices (including RAND) • Media Production, Support Facility
• Business Services (ground floor)
• General Retail Sales, Small-Scale (ground floor)
• Restaurants, Full-Service and Limited Service & Take-Out (ground floor) • Banks and Credit Unions (ground floor)
• Convenience Market (ground floor)
• General Personal Services (ground floor)
• Any other uses that are designated as permitted uses on the project site by the SMMC in effect at the time the use is established
Proposed use defined by the Second Amendment to ensure consistency with the existing building and neighborhood context:
• Facilities for scientific research and the design, development, and testing (but not production, assembly or manufacturing) of components and productions related pharmaceutical, biotechnology-based food and medicines, medical devices,

12.A
Packet Pg. 820
7 of 14
biomedical technologies, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, food processing, and other products that improve the lives of organisms; provided, that (i) all such activities/uses permitted by this Section 6.1(c) shall occur within an enclosed building, (ii) in no such event shall the laboratory Floor Area exceed 40% of the Project’s Floor Area; and (iii) the Community Development Director makes a finding that such proposed uses conform with all applicable regulatory state, county or local regulatory requirements then in effect.

The Second Amendment also provides updated provisions for uses permitted through a Minor Use Permit, Conditional Use Permit, and other discretionary City Planning approvals (Sections 6.3-6.5).

Proposed Term Extension
While RAND initially proposed termination of the Development Agreement, through the course of discussions, both parties agreed that amending the Agreement would be preferred. As presented with this staff report, in addition to expanding permitted land uses, the Second Amendment also updates transfer provisions to allow lease and/or sale of the RAND project site; establishes new project and community benefits accruing to the City; and extends the term of the Agreement for ten (10) additional years to November 22, 2065.

Proposed Community Benefits
Under a development agreement, the City may negotiate community benefits consistent with its legal authority. In this case, the City prioritized benefits that support a more vibrant Civic Center – specifically, broader use of the RAND building, continued support for early childhood initiatives, opportunity for sharing parking in the Civic Center, and the financial and economic enhancements negotiated as part of the Second Amendment.

More specifically, substantial monetary contributions were negotiated to support the City’s work around community and Council priorities. As detailed in Section 7 of the Second Amendment and summarized below, these community benefits represent terms

12.A
Packet Pg. 821
8 of 14
mutually agreed upon by the City and RAND and would be subject to annual compliance review and the amended Agreement would be recorded on property title. 1) $5.5 Million Monetary Contribution [Section 7.1]
As part of the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement, RAND would pay the City a total of $5.5 Million in two installments:
• $3.5 Million due by the effective date of the Second Amendment. • $2 Million due later, triggered by the earliest of: Coastal Commission approval (if needed), the owner using the property for new vested uses other than RAND’s continued use of the property for institutional office, or a transfer of ownership. o If no Coastal Commission approval is needed or sought within 90 days of the Second Amendment effective date, the $2 million is due within 180 days.
o If approval is required but not obtained within three years from the Second Amendment effective date, the Second Amendment terminates unless the $2 Million is paid before the deadline. In the event of such termination, the First Amended Agreement would remain in full force and effect and allow the continued use of the property for Institutional Office. 2) Additional Monetary Contribution If First Sale/Transfer of Project Site is Exempt from Measure GS [Section 7.2]
If the first sale or transfer of the project site is not subject to the City’s Measure GS tax set forth in SMMC Chapter 6.962, the owner must pay the City an additional contribution equal to 4.6% of the sale price.

This applies only to the first qualifying sale or transfer, and only if it would otherwise avoid GS tax. The payment is due at the time of transfer, and escrow must be established to ensure it is paid properly.
2 SMMC Chapter 6.96 outlines certain affordable housing transfers and governmental units that are exempted from Measure GS tax.

12.A
Packet Pg. 822
9 of 14
If the site is subdivided before any sale, the City and owner will agree on how this payment applies to each separate transfer. Once the payment or GS tax is made on the first transfer (or each first partial transfer), this obligation ends.

This provision does not change or replace the City's transfer tax rules under Measure GS – it only ensures the City receives comparable revenue in the form of a contribution if the first sale is exempt.
3) Right of First Offer for Parking for Off-Site Users [Section 7.3] If the property owner decides to lease or license any unused parking spaces to off-site users, the City must be given the first opportunity to lease those spaces. The owner must notify the City in writing of the availability and proposed terms. The City then has 30 days to accept or decline. If the City does not respond or declines, the owner may lease the parking to others, provided the rate is at least 95% of what was offered to the City – unless the City is offered those terms again. If the City accepts the offer, both parties have 60 days to negotiate a formal agreement. If no agreement is reached in that time, the City’s rights expire, and the owner may lease the spaces to others, again subject to the 95% pricing rule.

This right does not apply to parking used by on-site employees, contractors, or visitors.

However, the City may assign this right to a third party. Additionally, the owner may allow for up to 40 parking spaces to be used by employees of the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School without offering them to the City first. 4) Early Childhood Initiatives Contribution [Section 7.4] Beginning January 1, 2026, and continuing annually until the end of the Agreement term, RAND or its successor in interest would contribute $40,000 per year to the nonprofit operator of the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School. The funds would be used to help offset tuition for low-income Santa Monica families, following Cityestablished guidelines. This is a continuation of RAND’s current obligation that was approved in 2023 in lieu of hosting an annual community conference on early childhood development research. As part of the Second Amendment negotiation, this annual

12.A
Packet Pg. 823
10 of 14
$40,000 payment would be extended ten additional years to match the new date for termination of the Agreement (November 22, 2065).
5) Reallocation of Existing Funds [Section 7.4]
Effective on the Second Amendment Effective Date, the $125,000 currently held by the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School – and previously reserved for tuition subsidies for qualifying RAND employees – will be unrestricted and may now be used for any eligible low-income Santa Monica families.

Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed RAND’s request at its July 2, 2025 meeting and unanimously voted to support the proposed amendment and community benefit proposal. The Commission made one recommendation for inclusion of a provision providing an option for a future owner to satisfy the annual $40,000 contribution to the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School with a lump sum payment based on a future net-present-value (NPV) calculation authorized by the Community Development Director via a Minor Modification. While staff appreciates the Commission’s interest in avoiding the potential for a third amendment to the Development Agreement to satisfy the annual obligation, staff has not included this additional term in the proposed Second Amendment. Specifically, there would need to be more analysis done to establish the parameters for how NPV would be calculated in the future; and additional discussion with the Lab School to gauge their interest level and to identify terms for accepting a NPV payment in the future by the Lab School or its successor.

Land Use and Circulation Element
RAND’s Second Amendment to the Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan. More specifically, the RAND property is located in the LUCE's Civic Center District. In addition to the district having government uses and expanded open space, the LUCE states that “commercial, retail, office, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, and community facilities such as early childhood

12.A
Packet Pg. 824
11 of 14
centers are also allowed in this mixed-use area.” In this regard, LUCE Policy D15.1 states:
"Create a diverse mix of uses and activities in the Civic Center, including government uses, parks and open space, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, retail, office and cultural uses."
RAND’s proposal to expand permitted land uses to allow different types of commercial uses such as offices, media production, and limited research and development – all of which are similar in character to “institutional office” use – along with neighborhoodserving retail, restaurants, and services support the goals and vision for the Village Special Use District while also not impacting neighboring properties. RAND’s Second Amendment also focuses on the Civic Center through the commitment to support early childhood initiatives and to create an opportunity for sharing existing parking resources.

Accordingly, this project is consistent with the following additional LUCE goals and policies:
• “Create a diverse mix of uses and activities in the Civic Center, including government uses, parks and open space, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, retail, office and cultural uses.” (Policy D15.1.) • “Create an economic base that satisfies the commercial service needs to the City’s residents while providing employment opportunities and a strong fiscal infrastructure for the City.” (Goal E1.)
• “Make land use decisions that respond to changing market conditions and meet the needs to City residents and visitors.” (Policy E1.1.) • “Judiciously manage the growth of existing and new uses that can generate the greatest potential for fiscal well-being and ensure financial support for a high level of public services.” (Policy E1.2.)
• “Support the continued viability of existing office uses and local-serving offices as a means of supporting high-quality public services.” (Goal E9.) Civic Center Specific Plan

12.A
Packet Pg. 825
12 of 14
Within the Civic Center Specific Plan, RAND’s property is located in "The Village Special Use District." The Village Special Use District consists of four developments/properties: (1) the Civic Center Village Project (i.e., The Waverly Condos/mixed-use at 1705 Ocean Avenue, The Seychelle Condos/mixed-use at 1755 Ocean Avenue and Belmar Apartments/1725 Ocean Avenue), (2) the private office building at 1733 Ocean Avenue, (3) the RAND property/1776 Main Street and (4) the Viceroy Hotel property.

The Civic Center Specific Plan (p. 61) calls for The Village Special Use District to aid in "transforming the Civic Center from a single-purpose district into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood." The Civic Center Specific Plan includes individualized policies for each property/development site within this District. For RAND, the relevant policy (VD-29) cross-references the Development Agreement rather than providing separate use policies. Given the specific references to RAND within the Civic Center Specific Plan and to ensure consistency between the Civic Center Specific Plan and the Second Amendment to Development Agreement, the following language is proposed to be added on page 84 of the Civic Center Specific Plan:
“In 2025, after years of significantly reduced occupancy in the RAND Headquarters and consistent with LUCE Policy D15.1 to create a diverse mix of uses in the Civic Center area and this Specific Plan's vision for the Village Special Use District to be a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood, the RAND Development Agreement was amended to allow use of the property by a broader range of commercial office, research and development, pedestrian-oriented retail/restaurant and other uses. For the purposes of clarity, references to the ‘RAND Headquarters’ site/building throughout the Specific Plan refer to the 1776 Main Street site/building.”
Environmental Analysis
The proposed Second Amendment to the RAND Development Agreement is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act,

12.A
Packet Pg. 826
13 of 14
California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemptions consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The proposed Development Agreement Amendment does not affect or increase the floor area or height for the existing building. The allowance for certain commercial uses (business and professional office, creative office, banks and financial institutions, business services, limited life sciences research and development, media production support facilities, and retail/personal services/restaurant uses) for an existing commercial office building is consistent with a Class 1 exemption. Therefore, no further environmental review under CEQA is required.

Conclusion
The proposed Second Amendment to the RAND Development Agreement and accompanying Civic Center Specific Plan Amendment reflects a balanced approach to modernizing permitted uses for the RAND property at 1776 Main Street. It enables expanded but appropriate commercial uses consistent with the LUCE and Civic Center Specific Plan, facilitates greater activation of an underutilized building, and supports broader Civic Center goals by modifying leasing and transfer restrictions for an important anchor property in the District.

In exchange, the City secures meaningful, long-term community benefits that align with critical needs and policy priorities, including significant financial contributions to support provision of City services, and support for early childhood initiatives. Collectively, these amendments to the RAND Development Agreement and CCSP will help ensure that the property remains a productive and contributing asset within the Civic Center for decades to come.

Accordingly, City staff recommends the Council adopt a finding of categorical exemption as outlined in this report; approve the attached resolution authorizing an amendment to

12.A
Packet Pg. 827
14 of 14
the Civic Center Specific Plan; and introduce for first reading the attached ordinance adopting the Second Amendment to the RAND Development Agreement.

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
As part of the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement, RAND would pay the City a total of $5.5 Million in two installments to the General Fund:
• $3.5 Million due by the effective date of the Second Amendment. • $2 Million due later, triggered by the earliest of: Coastal Commission approval (if needed) but no later than three years from the Second Amendment effective date, the owner using the property for new vested uses other than RAND’s continued use of the property for institutional office, or a transfer of ownership.

Re: Planning Applications to Facilitate Occupation and Activation of RAND’s Existing Building at 1776 Main Street
Dear Mr. Martin:

On behalf of The RAND Corporation ("RAND"), I am submitting the enclosed applications and supporting materials to broaden the permitted uses allowed within RAND’s existing building at 1776 Main Street, Santa Monica (the "Property") consistent with City goals and policies to create a vibrant mixed-use environment in the Civic Center district. As detailed in Exhibit “A”, which was prepared by our land use counsel Paula Larmore, these applications include (a) a request to terminate the Development Agreement between RAND and the City of Santa Monica upon RAND satisfying the Development Agreement's one outstanding financial obligation, (b) proposed clarifying revisions to the Civic Center Specific Plan, and (c) modest proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance's permitted uses for the Property as detailed in Exhibit "B".

RAND is a research organization that develops solutions to public policy challenges to help make communities throughout the world safer and more secure, healthier and more prosperous. As a mission-driven, non-profit institution, we strive to be careful stewards of our resources to maximize the funding available to support our research and analysis.

In 2000, when we sought City approval for the existing approximately 326,170 square foot building on the Property ("Existing Building"), we thought it would be our "forever home" in Santa Monica. This is reflected in the terms and conditions in our Development Agreement. However, the way our staff works has dramatically changed over the past 20 years.

With work-from-home flexibility and declining staffing in our Santa Monica facility even before the pandemic, we had about 600 people in the Existing Building each workday compared with the 1,150-employee capacity the Existing Building is currently designed for.

Since the pandemic, behaviors fundamentally shifted. Specifically, only 150-275 employees come into the Existing Building on any given day. Despite providing encouragement for our staff members to "come back to the office," the data are clear with a stable trend showing that

12.A.a
Packet Pg. 829 Attachment: Attachment A RAND Letter Request to Terminate DA (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development Agreement, Civic Center Specific OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS. EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS.
most of our approximately 800 employees assigned to our Santa Monica facility are not coming back in-person on a daily basis. And we do not intend to mandate higher presence.

Such low building utilization represents inefficient use of our financial capital, and with so few staff members in relatively large facility, the work environment is uninviting and uninspiring.

Given the underutilization data of our Existing Building, that RAND is a mission-driven non-profit organization, and the importance of RAND providing a high-quality, "right-sized" work environment to foster collaboration, it is critically important for us to provide future flexibility for the Existing Building to be occupied by other users. The current City restrictions essentially limit use of the Existing Building to RAND and broader flexibility is necessary so that we can evaluate the possibility of selling or leasing all or portions of our Existing Building. From the City's perspective, there would also be significant potential benefits to the City and surrounding area of having the Existing Building more fully occupied and activated going forward.

In sum, RAND is proposing to terminate the Development Agreement and broaden the allowable uses within our Existing Building. Our proposal is consistent with the City's General Plan, including its Land Use and Circulation Element, and will facilitate future higher occupancy of the Existing Building and activation of the surrounding area. We look forward to working with the City to resolve these concerns and have the flexibility needed to allow other compatible uses within the Existing Building due to the circumstances described above.

Kind Regards,
Eric Peltz

LUCE CONSISTENCY AND PLANNING APPLICATIONS
Consistency with the Land Use and Circulation Element of the City's General Plan ("LUCE")
The Property is in the LUCE's Civic Center District. In addition to the district having high-intensity government uses and expanded open space, the LUCE states that “commercial, retail, office, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, and community facilities such as early childhood centers are also allowed in this mixed-use area.” 1In this regard, LUCE Policy D15.1 states:
"Create a diverse mix of uses and activities in the Civic Center, including government uses, parks and open space, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, retail, office and cultural uses."2(Emphasis added.)
The LUCE then defers the more specific use regulations to the Civic Center Specific Plan, which was last amended on May 22, 2018.3 Civic Center Specific Plan's Village Special Use District & Proposed Amendment to Clarify Uses in the Event of Development Agreement Termination Within the Civic Center Specific Plan, the Property is contained in "The Village Special Use District".4 The Village Special Use District consists of four developments/properties: (1) the Civic Center Village Project (i.e., The Waverly Condos/mixed-use at 1705 Ocean Avenue, The Seychelle Condos/mixed-use at 1755 Ocean Avenue and Belmar Apartments/1725 Ocean Avenue), (2) the private office building at 1733 Ocean Avenue, (3) the RAND Property/1736 Main Street and (4) the Viceroy Hotel property.5
The Civic Center Specific Plan calls for The Village Special Use District to aid in "transforming the Civic Center from a single-purpose district into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood."6 The Civic Center Specific Plan then includes individualized policies for each property/development site within this District. For RAND, the relevant policy simply 1 LUCE, Chapter 2.1, p. 2.1-57.

Packet Pg. 831 Attachment: Attachment A RAND Letter Request to Terminate DA (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development Agreement, Civic Center Specific Exhibit “A”, page 2
cross-references the Development Agreement rather than providing separate use policies.7
To ensure the Civic Center Specific Plan identifies uses for the Property in the event the RAND Development Agreement is terminated, we are proposing that Policy VD-29 on CCSP page 69 be amended to read as follows:
“VD-29. The RAND Headquarters site shall be subject to
the provisions of the Development Agreement between
the City of Santa Monica and the RAND Corporation. In
the event the Development Agreement is terminated,
commercial, office, research and development,
educational and other uses may be allowed on the site
subject to the provisions of the City of Santa Monica
Zoning Ordinance.

For the purposes of clarity, references to the "RAND
Headquarters" site/building throughout the Specific Plan refer to the 1776 Main Street site/building."
This language is consistent with the LUCE's use policy (D15.1) for the area and the general role of The Village Special Use District as described in the Specific Plan.

Moreover, this amendment will provide the flexibility needed to implement one of the Specific Plan's established Planning Principles to "recycle underutilized lands with complementary new uses that help to diversify and energize the area and enhance its role and meaning in the city."8
RAND Development Agreement & Proposed Termination
The Development Agreement authorizing construction of RAND’s Existing Building was approved by the City in 2000 and has been amended and modified by Amendment 1 to the Development Agreement dated August 14, 2012 and two Minor Modifications dated June 16, 2011 and January 20, 2023 respectively (collectively the "Development Agreement" or "DA"). The Development Agreement has an unusually long 55-year term and is set to expire on or about November 23, 2055. 9 By this letter
and the concurrently filed application form, RAND is requesting to terminate the Development Agreement.

In addition to authorizing development of the Existing Building, the Development Agreement provides vested rights for the building to be utilized for "institutional office" and ancillary or accessory uses provided "primarily in support of the Project's occupants 7 CCSP Policy VD-29, p. 69.
8 CCSP, p. 8.
9 DA § 9.2.1.

12.A.a
Packet Pg. 832 Attachment: Attachment A RAND Letter Request to Terminate DA (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development Agreement, Civic Center Specific Exhibit “A”, page 3
and not the public".10 The "overriding purpose of the Project", as described in the DA was "to provide RAND with new replacement office space on the Property."11 This replacement office space was needed because RAND had agreed to sell most of its land (including the land where its then-existing offices and surface parking were located) to the City's Redevelopment Agency. RAND retained ownership to the approximately 3.7-acre Property that is the subject of the Development Agreement.

The Development Agreement does not contemplate any uses other than "institutional office" and ancillary or accessory uses. And, even for uses within these permitted use categories, the Development Agreement includes substantial restrictions on RAND's ability to lease or transfer all or part of the building to a third-party.12 In 2000, when the Development Agreement was negotiated and approved, no one anticipated the onset of COVID-19 and its long-term impacts on societal work patterns and RAND’s reduced occupancy of the Existing Building.

Beyond the use regulations and transfer/leasing restrictions, the Development Agreement includes very limited ongoing obligations. Notably, RAND is required to make an annual contribution (paid during the month of January) to the Early Childhood Lab School for the purpose of offsetting tuition costs for low-income Santa Monica resident families.13 With respect to the City's ongoing obligations, the City has $125,000 (25% of $500,000 RAND previously paid to the City) in an account that is required by the DA for the City to use toward tuition subsides for children of RAND employees.14 The full $125,000 remains in the City account. The City previously expressed its appreciation to RAND for agreeing to allow all of the earned interest from the 18-year investment (approximately $208,000) of RAND's $500,000 contribution (including the $125,000 for RAND employees) to be used by the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School for needed start-up and operational costs. 15 For the reasons explained above, RAND requests that the City approve termination of the RAND DA. In exchange for this early termination and prior to the DA 10 DA § 2.6.1. "Institutional Office" is defined as "research, analysis, educational, philanthropic or charitable uses and related administrative uses." "Ancillary or Accessory Uses" are defined in the DA as "functions and services provided primarily in support of the Project’s occupants and not the public (e.g. travel office, credit union, newspaper kiosk and print shop)."

termination becoming effective, RAND would agree to “pay in full” its outstanding financial obligations to the City under the DA. Specifically, RAND proposes that (a) the $125,000 currently committed by the City to fund tuition subsidies for RAND employees could be repurposed by the City at its discretion once the DA is terminated and (b) termination of the DA would be effective upon RAND's payment to the City of the net present value of the stream of outstanding annual $40,000 payments that would otherwise be owed over the course of the remaining years of the DA Term, reduced by an offset for the aforementioned $125,000 that would no longer be provided by the City for tuition subsidies of RAND employees.

A termination of the DA would result in RAND foregoing its vested rights with respect to future use of Property, and RAND and any future occupant and/or owner of the Property would be governed by the then-existing Civic Center Specific Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Broaden Allowable Uses The Property is located in the Zoning Ordinance's Civic Center district.

Consistent with the LUCE, the purpose statement for the Civic Center district provides that “commercial, retail, office, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, and community facilities such as early childhood centers” are allowed in this district.16 Under the existing Zoning Ordinance, specific uses permitted for the Property include office uses for public, quasi-public and nonprofits; however, "private offices" currently require a Conditional Use Permit.17 Restaurants and retail uses are only permitted uses within “a mixed-use development.”18 “Research and development” (SMMC § 9.51.030(C)(8)) and “media production, support” (SMMC § 9.51.030(C)(6)(a)) uses are not listed in the applicable land use regulations table, and therefore by default, they fall into the category of prohibited uses.19
With respect to uses that require a conditional use permit, the Zoning Ordinance explains that such uses “are generally consistent with the purposes of the Zoning District” but “require special consideration to ensure that they can be designed, located and operated in a manner that will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties.”20
In the case of a building like the RAND facility that is already existing and lawfully occupied and used for “institutional office” use, requiring a conditional use permit merely 16 SMMC § 9.15.010.

12.A.a
Packet Pg. 834 Attachment: Attachment A RAND Letter Request to Terminate DA (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development Agreement, Civic Center Specific Exhibit “A”, page 5
to allow a private/for-profit office use is unduly burdensome. No purpose would be served by requiring such a discretionary permit as the building is already designed in way that suits such a use and the location is already established. In particular, the dayto-day activities occurring within the existing/RAND “institutional office” use (e.g. administrative tasks, meetings, etc.) are the same activities that occur in an office for a for-profit/private company.

To provide the best opportunity for the Existing Building (which is currently underutilized) to be occupied by highly compatible uses that will activate the Property and surrounding area consistent with the Civic Center Specific Plan’s goal of the area becoming a vibrant neighborhood, RAND proposes to amend the Zoning Ordinance (SMMC Table 9.15.020 to) to allow a broader range of permitted uses within the Existing Building. Specifically, RAND requests that the following uses are permitted uses (rather than conditionally permitted or prohibited uses) within the Existing Building”:
• Restaurant and retail uses,
• Office uses, including Business and Professional, Creative and Walk-In Clientele office types and Media Production Support Facilities, and • Research and Development.

RAND’s proposed modifications to the applicable land use regulations table to include the above uses as permitted uses within the Existing Building are included in Exhibit “B”.

(please read)
We live in a time in which increased population growth, high levels of consumption and the desire to feed growing economies have created escalating demands on our resources - natural, human and social - on a local, regional, and global scale. These demands negatively impact the natural environment, our communities and the quality of our lives. In the face of these challenges, people worldwide have developed a growing concern for the environment and a desire to live sustainably.

In 1994 the Santa Monica City Council took steps to address these pressures locally by adopting the Santa Monica Sustainable City Program. The Sustainable City Program was initially proposed in 1992 by the City’s Task Force on the Environment to ensure that Santa Monica can continue to meet its current needs – environmental, economic and social - without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. It is designed to help us as a community begin to think, plan and act more sustainably – to help us address the root causes of problems rather than the symptoms of those problems, and to provide criteria for evaluating the long-term rather than the short-term impacts of our decisions – in short, to help us think about the future when we are making decisions about the present.

The program includes goals and strategies, for the City government and all sectors of the community, to conserve and enhance our local resources, safeguard human health and the environment, maintain a healthy and diverse economy, and improve the livability and quality of life for all community members in Santa Monica. (A full copy of the Sustainable City Program is available upon request.)
Please review and familiarize yourself with the goals of the Santa Monica Sustainable City Program outlined below.

Please take some time to consider how the proposed project and/or components of the project are consistent with or relate to the goals of the Santa Monica Sustainable City Program. After reading each topic and the corresponding goals, please acknowledge your understanding of the goals by providing your signature and providing a supplemental sheet that details how your project may be consistent with the goals.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION
Goals
Across all segments of the community:

1. Significantly decrease overall community consumption, specifically the consumption of non-local, non-renewable, nonrecyclable and non-recycled materials, water, and energy and fuels. The City should take a leadership role in encouraging sustainable procurement, extended producer responsibility and should explore innovative strategies to become a zero waste city.

2. Within renewable limits, encourage the use of local, non-polluting, renewable and recycled resources (water, energy – wind, solar and geothermal – and material resources)

ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Goals

1. Protect and enhance environmental health and public health by minimizing and where possible eliminating:
x The use of hazardous or toxic materials, in particular POPs (persistent organic pollutants) and PBTs (persistent bioaccumulative & toxic chemicals), by residents, businesses and City operations; x The levels of pollutants entering the air, soil and water; and x The risks that environmental problems pose to human and ecological health.

2. Ensure that no one geographic or socioeconomic group in the City is being unfairly impacted by environmental pollution.

3. Increase consumption of fresh, locally produced, organic produce to promote public health and to minimize resource consumption and negative environmental impacts.

TRANSPORTATION
Goals

1. Create a multi-modal transportation system that minimizes and, where possible, eliminates pollution and motor vehicle congestion while ensuring safe mobility and access for all without compromising our ability to protect public health and safety.

2. Facilitate a reduction in automobile dependency in favor of affordable alternative, sustainable modes of travel.

12.A.a
Packet Pg. 848 Attachment: Attachment A RAND Letter Request to Terminate DA (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development Agreement, Civic Center Specific Discretionary Permit Application Page 9 DISCRETIONARY PERMIT APPLICATION SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Goals

1. Nurture a diverse, stable, local economy that supports basic needs of all segments of the community.

2. Businesses, organizations and local government agencies within Santa Monica continue to increase the efficiency of their use of resources through the adoption of sustainable business practices. The City takes a leadership role by developing a plan by 2005 to increase the adoption of sustainable practices by Santa Monica businesses and encouraging sustainable businesses to locate in Santa Monica.

OPEN SPACE AND LAND USE
Goals

1. Develop and maintain a sufficient open space system so that it is diverse in uses and opportunities and includes natural function/wildlife habitat as well as passive and active recreation with an equitable distribution of parks, trees and pathways throughout the community.

2. Implement land use and transportation planning and policies to create compact, mixed-use projects, forming urban villages designed to maximize affordable housing and encourage walking, bicycling and the use of existing and future public transit systems.

3. Residents recognize that they share the local ecosystem with other living things that warrant respect and responsible stewardship.

HOUSING
Goal

1. Achieve and maintain a mix of affordable, livable and green housing types throughout the city for people of all socio-economic / cultural / household groups (including seniors, families, singles, and disabled).

COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION
Goals

1. Community members of all ages participate actively and effectively in civic affairs and community improvement efforts.

2. Community members of all ages understand the basic principles of sustainability and use them to guide their decisions and actions - both personal and collective.

HUMAN DIGNITY
Goals
Santa Monica will be a community in which:

1. All its members are able to meet their basic needs and are empowered to enhance the quality of their lives; and

2. There is access among community members to housing, health services, education, economic opportunity, and cultural and recreational resources; and

3. There is respect for and appreciation of the value added to the community by differences among its members in race, religion, gender, age, economic status, sexual orientation, disabilities, immigration status and other special needs.

I acknowledge the goals and policies of the Santa Monica Sustainable City Program.

introduced for First Reading Ordinance No. _______ (CCS) approving this Second Amendment and authorizing its execution by the City Manager; and WHEREAS, the proposed Second Amendment to the RAND Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the Land Use and Circulation Element (“LUCE”) and CCSP as described below and as detailed in the accompanying City Council staff report prepared for this Project and exhibits thereto, including but not limited to the following findings (“Findings”):
1) The proposed Second Amendment to Development Agreement for the RAND property is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the City’s General Plan. More specifically, the RAND property is located in the LUCE's Civic Center District. In addition to the district having government uses and expanded open space, the LUCE states that “commercial, retail, office, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, and community facilities such as early childhood centers are also allowed in this mixed use area.” In this regard, LUCE Policy D15.1 states: "Create a diverse mix of uses and activities in the Civic Center, including government uses, parks and open space, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, retail, office and cultural uses." RAND has proposed to expand permitted land uses for the property to allow different types of commercial uses such as business and professional and creative offices, media production, and limited life sciences research and development – all of which are similar in character to the building’s existing “institutional office” use.

This proposal also includes neighborhood-serving retail, restaurants, and business services. All of these land uses support the goals and vision for the Village Special Use District while also not impacting neighboring properties. RAND’s Second Amendment also focuses on the Civic Center through the commitment to support early childhood initiatives and to create an opportunity for sharing existing parking resources. Accordingly, this project is also consistent with the following LUCE goals and policies:
• “Create a diverse mix of uses and activities in the Civic Center, including government uses, parks and open space, affordable, workforce and market rate housing, retail, office and cultural uses.” (Policy D15.1.) • “Create an economic base that satisfies the commercial service needs to the City’s residents while providing employment opportunities and a strong fiscal infrastructure for the City.” (Goal E1.)

12.A.c
Packet Pg. 863 Attachment: Attachment C RAND Ordinance + Second Amendment DA 7-29-25 [Revision 1] (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development 5 of 9
• “Make land use decisions that respond to changing market conditions and meet the needs to City residents and visitors.” (Policy E1.1.) • “Judiciously manage the growth of existing and new uses that can generate the greatest potential for fiscal well-being and ensure financial support for a high level of public services.” (Policy E1.2.)
• “Support the continued viability of existing office uses and local-serving offices as a means of supporting high-quality public services.” (Goal E9.) 2) The proposed Second Amendment to Development Agreement for the RAND property is compatible with the uses authorized in the district in which the real property is located in the Civic Center District and with the existing uses on site.

More specifically, in addition to the district having government uses, open space, and multi-unit residential, the LUCE states that “commercial, retail, office, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, and community facilities such as early childhood centers are also allowed in this mixed-use area.” RAND's proposal to establish additional permitted commercial uses including categories of offices, media production, limited life sciences research and development, and retail, restaurant, and business services is consistent with government uses, open space, and residential uses and is consistent with RAND’s existing office building on the property.
3) RAND’s proposal to expand permitted land uses to allow different types of commercial uses such as general and creative offices, media production, and limited life sciences research and development – all of which are similar in character to the “institutional office” use – along with neighborhood-serving retail, restaurants, and services support the goals and vision for a vibrant, diverse, and active Village Special Use District while also not impacting neighboring properties. 4) The proposed Second Amendment to Development Agreement for the RAND property is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience, general welfare, and good land use practices, in that objectives for the Civic Center District are supported by the expansion of permitted uses for the RAND building and the associated community benefits that have been negotiated. More specifically, by specifying additional permitted office uses for the property, the RAND building has the opportunity for greater utilization and occupancy which in turn will support commerce and activity in the Civic Center. A significant community benefit contribution in the sum of $5.5 Million will be made to support City services. In addition, a $40,000 annual contribution from RAND to the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School will continue and be extended ten additional years. These community benefits will support City services and early childhood initiatives and will also benefit the public and Civic Center District.

12.A.c
Packet Pg. 864 Attachment: Attachment C RAND Ordinance + Second Amendment DA 7-29-25 [Revision 1] (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development 6 of 9
5) The proposed Second Amendment to Development Agreement for the RAND property will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare, in that the amendment would allow for a broader range of permitted uses for the project site, including business and professional office, creative office, banks and financial institutions, business services, limited life sciences research and development, media production support facilities, retail, and restaurant uses. These uses are consistent with existing uses in the Civic Center District – and are compatible with and consistent in character with the RAND’s existing institutional office building. No new construction or Floor Area is proposed.
6) The proposed Second Amendment to Development Agreement for the RAND property will not adversely affect the orderly development of the property.

Specifically, the additional permitted land uses proposed for the property would integrate seamlessly into RAND’s existing institutional office building on the property and within the Civic Center District. The building has been well maintained since its construction in 2004 and the additional permitted land uses authorized by the Second Amendment do not require additional floor area or building height. 7) The proposed Second Amendment to Development Agreement for the RAND property will have a positive fiscal impact on the City in that a significant community benefit contribution in the sum of $5.5 Million will be made to support City services.

In addition, a $40,000 annual contribution from RAND to the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School will continue and be extended ten additional years to the new Agreement expiration in November 23, 2065.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Second
Amendment”), dated for reference purposes only ______________, 2025, is entered into by and between THE RAND CORPORATION, a California non-profit corporation ("RAND" or "Owner") and THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA, a municipal corporation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of the State of California and the Charter of the City of Santa Monica (“City”), with reference to the following facts:

RECITALS
A. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. and Chapter 9.60 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code (collectively, the “Development Agreement Statutes”), the City is authorized to enter into binding development agreements and amendments thereto with persons or entities having a legal or equitable interest in real property for the development of such real property.

B. RAND is a mission-driven, non-profit research organization that develops solutions to public policy challenges to help make communities throughout the world safer and more secure, healthier and more prosperous. RAND strives to be careful stewards of its resources to maximize the funding available to support its research and analysis.

C. RAND and the City entered into that certain Development Agreement dated November 23, 2000 and recorded in the Official Records of the County of Los Angeles on February 1, 2001 as Instrument No. 01-0176770 and that certain Amendment No. 1 to Development Agreement dated August 14, 2012 and recorded in the Official Records of the County of Los Angeles on February 6, 2013 as Instrument No. 20130191602 (collectively the “2012 Amended Agreement”).

D. In accordance with Section 2.5.2 of the 2012 Amended Agreement, the City’s Community Development Director (formerly referred to as the Planning and Community Development Director and/or Planning Director) approved Minor Modifications to the 2012 Amended Agreement on June 16, 2011 and January 20, 2023 (the “Minor Modifications”). The 2012 Amendment Agreement and Minor Modifications are collectively referred to herein as the “First Amended Agreement.”
E. The First Amended Agreement vests in RAND the right to build and use certain improvements described therein (the “Project”) subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, obligations and restrictions set forth therein. When RAND sought City approval for the Project in 2000, it envisioned the Project would be its “forever home” in Santa Monica.

F. The Project, including its approximately 314,355 square foot existing building with 799 parking spaces, has been constructed, maintained and occupied by RAND and its employees and invitees pursuant to the First Amended Agreement for over 20 years.

12.A.c
Packet Pg. 870 Attachment: Attachment C RAND Ordinance + Second Amendment DA 7-29-25 [Revision 1] (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development 2 G. The Project is located on land owned by RAND and located in the City of Santa Monica, County of Los Angeles, State of California, commonly known as 1776 Main Street, Santa Monica, as more particularly described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the “Project Site”).

H. The Project Site is located in (1) the Land Use and Circulation Element’s (“LUCE”) Civic Center District, (2) the Civic Center Specific Plan (“CCSP”) area’s “The Village Special Use District”, (3) the Zoning Ordinance’s Civic Center district, and (4) the Coastal Zone.

I. The LUCE calls for a diverse mix of uses in the Civic Center District where the Project is located. (LUCE Chapter 2.1, p. 2.1-57.) In this regard, LUCE Policy D15.1 states:
"Create a diverse mix of uses and activities in the Civic Center, including government uses, parks and open space, affordable, workforce and market-rate housing, retail, office and cultural uses.”
J. Similar to the LUCE, the CCSP envisions a “vibrant mixed-use neighborhood” in The Village Special Use District where the Project Site is located. (CCSP, p. 61.) Moreover, one of the CCSP’s established Planning Principles is to "recycle underutilized lands with complementary new uses that help to diversify and energize the area and enhance its role and meaning in the [C]ity.” (CCSP, p. 8.) The CCSP (Policy VD-29) provides that the Project Site is subject to a development agreement.

K. Since approval over 24 years ago of the original development agreement in 2000, RAND’s employee and visitor utilization/occupancy of the Project has fundamentally changed, in large part due to “work-from-home” mandates resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that ultimately led to dramatic and permanent changes in RAND employee work location policy and employee and visitor occupancy/utilization of the Project. Notably, only an average of 225 employees come to the Project on any given day (less than 25% of the Project’s employee capacity). Such low utilization of the Project represents inefficient use of RAND’s financial capital, and with so few employees in a relatively large facility, the work environment is uninviting and uninspiring. The unnecessary spending on facilities reduces resources that could be used directly for research, thus harming RAND’s nonprofit mission.

L. The Project's underutilization results in a significant decrease in daily office visits, foot traffic, and patronage of local businesses, harming the vitality of the Civic Center and Downtown areas and conflicting with the LUCE and CCSP goals and polices for the Civic Center District. It is also harmful to the area businesses and civic amenities that formerly benefited from the patronage of RAND’s full workforce.

M. RAND’s First Amended Agreement has a fifty-five (55) year term through November 22, 2055, and, among other things, on its face restricts use of the Project and Project Site to RAND (with very limited exceptions) and includes significant limitations on RAND's ability to lease and transfer/sell the Project and Project Site absent an amendment to the First Amended Agreement.

12.A.c
Packet Pg. 871 Attachment: Attachment C RAND Ordinance + Second Amendment DA 7-29-25 [Revision 1] (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development 3 N. On August 1, 2023, after monitoring the Project’s occupancy/utilization data since “work-from-home” mandates were lifted and more than a year after RAND permanently changed its employee work location policy to allow most employees to work remotely when they desire to do so, RAND filed the following applications: (a) an application to amend the First Amended Agreement pursuant to the Development Agreement Statutes to terminate the First Amended Agreement before its original 55-year term subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (23ENT-0137, the “Second Amendment Application”), (b) an application to amend the CCSP to contemplate a broader range of uses within the Project and a non-RAND property owner (23ENT-0142, the “CCSP Amendment”), and (c) an application to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow a broader range of uses within the Project (23ENT-0143, the “Zoning Amendment”). As more fully described herein, the Second Amendment Application and the CCSP Amendment have been revised since the initial filing. Notably, the Second Amendment Application has been revised to, among other things, amend the First Amended Agreement (rather than terminate the agreement) to (i) expand the scope of allowable users/uses of the Project and Project Site, (ii) revise the transfer provisions to allow lease and/or sale of the Project and Project Site, (iii) add project and community benefits accruing to the City, and (iv) extend the term of the Agreement. After the Second Amendment Application was revised to amend rather than terminate the First Amended Agreement, the City determined that the Zoning Amendment was no longer necessary. Upon approval of the Second Amendment Application and CCSP Amendment, RAND will withdraw the Zoning Amendment.

O. RAND has paid all necessary costs and fees associated with the City’s processing of the Second Amendment Application and the CCSP Amendment.

P. The primary purposes of the Second Amendment are to (a) broaden the permitted uses allowed within the Project and remove barriers to leasing and/or transfer of the Project Site consistent with City goals and policies to create a vibrant mixed-use environment in the Civic Center district, (b) provide the City with additional project and community benefits, (c) establish that future improvements, changes, and/or modifications to the Project shall be, with limited exceptions, governed by the SMMC in effect at the time the improvements, changes and/or modifications are proposed, and (d) extend the term of the Agreement.

Q. The Parties desire to enter into this Second Amendment in conformance with the Development Agreement Statutes in order to remove barriers to full occupancy of the Project and leasing and/or transfer of the Project and Project Site.

R. The City Council has (a) specifically considered and approved the impacts and benefits of the Second Amendment and has concluded that this Second Amendment is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan and CCSP, (b) determined that the uses authorized by the Second Amendment are compatible with the uses authorized in the Civic Center district, (c) determined that the Second Amendment will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare or adversely affect the orderly development of the Project Site, (d) concluded the Second Amendment will have a positive fiscal impact on the City, (e) determined that the City has complied with all procedures required by the Development Agreement Statutes with respect to this Second Amendment, and (f) duly authorized the City to enter into and perform its obligations under this Second Amendment.

If Owner has not applied to the Coastal Commission for approval of the Second Amendment and modification/amendment to the Project’s Coastal Development Permit, for any reason, within ninety (90) days of the Second Amendment Effective Date or if Coastal Commission approval is not legally required, then Owner shall pay the Second Installment to the City within 180 days of the Second Amendment Effective Date; or If Owner applies to the Coastal Commission for approval of the Second Amendment and does not obtain Coastal Commission approval for any reason within three (3) years of the Second Amendment Effective Date, then this Second Amendment, and any vested rights granted herein, shall automatically terminate on the third anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date without any further action required from the City unless Owner pays the Second Installment to the City before the third anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date. In the event of such termination, the First Amended Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

7.1.3 Owner understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Monetary Contribution, or any portion thereof, shall not be interpreted or deemed as a “fee” within the meaning of Government Code Section 66006(c).

7.2 Additional Monetary Contribution If First Sale/Transfer of Project Site is Exempt from Measure GS.

7.2.1 Definition of Transfer. For purposes of this Section 7.2, the term “transfer” shall be interpreted to be any transfer of beneficial ownership of the Project Site, or portions thereof, or any sale or transfer of the Project Site, or portion thereof, that would be subject to taxation under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 11911(a) and is not exempt from taxation under Sections 11921 (instrument securing debt), 11923 (conveyances under reorganization or adjustment plans), or 11924 (conveyances under order of securities and

12.A.c
Packet Pg. 877 Attachment: Attachment C RAND Ordinance + Second Amendment DA 7-29-25 [Revision 1] (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development 9 exchange commission). For purposes of this Section 7.2, the term “transfer” includes, without limitation, any deed, instrument or writing to which the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof, any state or territory, or political subdivision thereof, is acquiring title to the Project and/or Project Site.

7.2.2 Definition of Measure GS Transfer. For purposes of this Section

7.2, the term “GS Transfer” means a transfer of the Project and/or Project Site, or portion thereof, which is subject to taxation under the City’s Third Tier Tax Rate, as defined in SMMC Section 6.96.015.

7.2.3 Additional Monetary Contribution. Solely in connection with the first transfer of the Project and/or Project Site, or portion thereof, if such first transfer does not constitute a GS Transfer for any reason, the Owner shall pay an additional monetary contribution to City in the amount of 4.6% of the amount of consideration or value paid for the transfer of the Project and/or Project Site, or portion thereof.

7.2.4 No Change to Applicability of SMMC Chapter 6.96.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 7.2 shall be interpreted to alter, modify, negate, reduce or void the applicability of SMMC Chapter 6.96 to any first or subsequent transfers of the Project and/or the Project Site, or any portion thereof, it being the mutual intent of the parties hereto to allow the City to capture additional revenue that the City would not otherwise be entitled to receive under SMMC Chapter 6.96 for the first transfer of the Project and/or Project Site, or portion thereof, if the transfer is exempt from SMMC Chapter 6.96 pursuant to SMMC Section 6.96.050.

7.2.5 Payment. Payment of the amount of any contribution due under this Section 7.2 shall be made to the City on the date the deed or other transfer document is recorded and will be payable in such manner as the City may require. Owner shall ensure that any applicable escrow instructions are consistent with this requirement.

7.2.6 Bona Fide Purchaser. Any sale or transfer of the Project Site to an affiliate of Owner or to a third party who is not a bona fide purchaser for value shall not be considered a first sale or transfer.

7.2.7 Confirmation of Satisfaction or Termination of Condition. After the first sale or transfer of the Project Site and payment of either (a) the transfer tax under SMMC Chapter 6.96 or (b) the Additional Monetary Contribution under this Section 7.2, as applicable, this Section 7.2 shall be satisfied and of no further force and effect. City shall, within thirty (30) days of written request by the Owner and proof of payment of the transfer tax under SMMC Chapter 6.96 or the Additional Monetary Contribution under this Section 7.2, as applicable, execute and record a notice against title to the Project Site in the Official Records of the County of Los Angeles confirming satisfaction of this Section 7.2. Such notice shall be in a form reasonably deemed satisfactory by Owner’s title insurer.

7.2.8. Subdivision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Owner pursues a subdivision of the Project Site prior to the first sale or transfer of the Project Site then, prior to recordation of the final map, City and Owner shall enter into an operating memorandum pursuant

12.A.c
Packet Pg. 878 Attachment: Attachment C RAND Ordinance + Second Amendment DA 7-29-25 [Revision 1] (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development 10 to Section 15.21 of the First Amended Agreement clarifying application of this Section 7.2 to any future partial transfers of the Project Site. The Parties agree that the intent of the operating memorandum is to ensure that the Owner makes a contribution to the City under this Section 7.2 for the sale or first transfer of each portion of the Project Site (e.g. if Owner subdivides the Project Site into two airspace parcels – Parcels A and B – and sells or transfers Parcel A in 2028 to a governmental agency and such transfer is not a GS Transfer and then sells or transfers Parcel B in 2029 to a governmental agency and such transfer is not a GS Transfer then the contribution under this Section 7.2 shall be applied to both of these sales or transfers but not to any subsequent sales or transfers).

7.3 Right of First Offer for Parking for Off-Site Users.

7.3.1 Right of First Offer. Owner may make any unused parking within the Project available for reservation by lease or license to one or more off-site user(s) (the "Available Parking"); provided however that prior to entering into any agreements for the Available Parking to be used by off-site user(s), Owner shall first offer to lease or license the Available Parking to the City by delivery of written notice to City (the "Availability Notice").

The Availability Notice shall set forth the terms upon which Owner would be willing to lease to City the Available Parking (e.g., number of parking spaces, frequency of use of parking – days of the week and ongoing vs. occasional or specified dates, hours parking would be available, requirements for parkers to provide identification and/or be subject to background checks or other clearance process, insurance requirements, etc.), as determined by Owner in its sole discretion. City shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Availability Notice to accept or reject in writing the terms set forth in the Availability Notice, it being understood that City's failure to respond within the foregoing period shall be deemed a rejection of such terms. If City does not accept in writing the terms set forth in the Availability Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then City's rights under this Section shall lapse and terminate and Owner shall be entitled to lease the Available Parking to any other party on such terms as Owner desires; provided that the rental rate (taking into account adjustments for any differences between socalled "net" leases and "gross" leases) shall be at least ninety-five percent (95%) of that originally offered to City, unless Owner has first again offered the Available Parking to City for lease on the terms offered to the third party in accordance with the procedures specified above in this Section. If City accepts in writing the terms set forth in the Availability Notice, then for the period starting on the date of City's delivery of the Availability Notice to City and ending sixty (60) days thereafter (the "Waiting Period"), Owner shall not enter into any binding agreement to lease the Available Parking to any other party, provided Owner shall have the right to market the Available Parking for lease. During the Waiting Period, Owner and City shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a lease or license, consistent with the terms set forth in the Availability Notice and otherwise consistent with the terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Owner and City.

If City and Owner fail to execute and deliver a lease or license within the Waiting Period, then City's rights under this Section shall lapse and terminate, and Owner shall be entitled to lease or license the Available Parking to any other party on such terms as Owner desires; provided that the rental rate shall be at least ninety-five percent (95%) of that originally offered to City during the Waiting Period, unless Owner has first again offered the Available Parking to the City for lease or license on the terms offered to the third party in accordance with the procedures specified above in this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, the City’s Right of First Office under

12.A.c
Packet Pg. 879 Attachment: Attachment C RAND Ordinance + Second Amendment DA 7-29-25 [Revision 1] (7106 : Amendments to RAND Development 11 this Section 7.3 does not apply to any agreements, leases, or licenses for parking used by Project employees, contractors, and/or visitors (a/k/a on-site parking users).

7.3.2 Right of First Offer Assignable. Owner understands, acknowledges, and agrees that the City’s rights under this Section 7.3 are assignable by City, in whole or in part, to any third party designated, in writing, by City as the assignee.

7.3.3 Potential School Employee Parking. Owner may allow the Santa Monica Early Childhood Lab School located at 1802 4th Street (the “Early Childhood Lab School”) to utilize up to forty (40) spaces of Available Parking, whether or not for charge, for its employees (the “Potential School Employee Parking”) without first offering such Potential School Employee Parking to the City through the Right of First Offer process required by this Section 7.3.

7.4 Early Childhood Initiatives Contribution.

7.4.1 Effective January 1, 2026 and continuing annually thereafter for the Term, Owner shall contribute forty thousand dollars ($40,000) to the then-current non-profit operator of the Early Childhood Lab School for the purpose of offsetting tuition costs for lowincome Santa Monica resident families pursuant to guidelines established by the City (the “donation”). If City determines that the Early Childhood Lab School is either (a) not utilizing the donation as intended or (b) is no longer operating, then upon at least thirty (30) days advance written notification to the Owner, any outstanding annual payments under this Second Amendment shall be made to the City instead of to the Early Childhood Lab School. Owner shall have no obligation to ensure the Early Childhood Lab School utilizes the donation for the intended purpose.

7.4.2 Upon the Second Amendment Effective Date, Owner and City acknowledge and agree that the $125,000 being held in an account by the Early Childhood Lab School for tuition subsidies for Owner’s employees shall no longer be restricted for tuition subsidies for Owner’s employees.

7.4.3 This Section 7 replaces all Owner obligations relating to early childhood development programs under the First Amended Agreement.

8.1 Transfers and Assignments.

8.1.1 Not Severable from Ownership Interest in Project Site.

Owner may freely sell, ground lease, transfer, exchange, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of its interest in the Project Site (collectively referenced herein as “transfer”), without the consent of the City.

8.1.3 Transfer of Rights to the Project Site. The rights and obligations of the Owner and City under this Agreement apply to the entire Project Site upon transfer. Owner shall, however, give written notice to the City, in accordance with Section 15.1 of the Agreement (as amended by Section 11 of this Second Amendment), of any transfer of the Project Site, disclosing in such notice (a) the identity of the transferee of the Project Site (the “Property Transferee”) and (b) the address of the Property Transferee as applicable.

8.2 No Release Upon Transfer if Transferor Remains Owner. Upon the transfer of any rights and interests of Owner to the Project Site, all owners of any parcel on the Project Site shall be jointly and severally liable for compliance with this Agreement along with any and all Property Transferee(s). Upon the transfer of the entire Project Site which results in the transferor no longer having any ownership in any portion of the Project Site, then the transferor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement once the executed Assumption Agreement is provided to the City in accordance with Section 8.3 of this Second Amendment.

8.3 Assignment to Property Transferee. Prior to any transfer, Owner shall provide written notice of such transfer to City; and the Property Transferee shall execute and deliver to City a written agreement in which the Property Transferee expressly and unconditionally assumes all of the obligations jointly and severally with all other owners of the Project Site in the form of Exhibit "B" attached hereto (the “Assumption Agreement”). Upon transfer of the Project Site and the express assumption of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement by the Property Transferee, the City shall look to all owners of any parcel on the Project Site and/or any and all Property Transferees for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any such Property Transferee shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement as “Owner” hereunder and shall be subject to the obligations of this Agreement. Failure to deliver a written Assumption Agreement hereunder shall not affect the transfer of the benefits and burdens as provided in Section 8.1 of this Second Amendment, provided that the transferor shall remain jointly and severally liable under this Agreement along with the new Property Transferee and any other owners of the Project Site unless and until the executed Assumption Agreement is delivered to the City.

9. Extension of Term. The Parties hereby agree to extend the term of the Agreement to November 22, 2065 (the “Term”). This Section 9 of this Second Amendment modifies the definition of Term in Section 9.2.1 of the First Amended Agreement.
