[00:00:02]
AND I'D LIKE TO CALL THE GOLF ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING TO ORDER FOR JUNE 4TH, 2026.THANK YOU ALL FOR ATTENDING, AND I THINK, UH, WE'RE READY TO CALL THE ROLE AND GET STARTED WITH TODAY'S AGENDA.
CHAIR FITZGERALD HERE, VICE CHAIR CON KINGS HERE.
MEMBER ILEY IS, UH, POSSIBLY LATE OR ABSENT.
AND I THINK WE'RE READY FOR THE FIRST AGENDA ITEM.
DO YOU WANT ME TO, SHOULD I READ ALL THE ITEMS AND KEEP GOING THAT WAY? OKAY.
UM, SO THE FIRST ITEM IS RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR THE GOLF ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING OF THURSDAY, MARCH 12TH, 2026.
AND I HAVE A MOTION TO CONSIDER THIS ITEM.
AND ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, EDITS FROM MEMBERS? NO.
SEEING NONE, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO.
I THINK THEN IN THAT CASE, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND OR READY FOR THE VOTE.
AND WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER TWO, RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A PRESENTATION ON THE ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF ETHICS AND TRANSPARENCY.
GOT MOTION FROM MILLER AND, UH, SECOND FROM HAWKINS.
AND I THINK WE'RE READY FOR THE REPORT.
I'M THE ETHICS OFFICER FOR THE CITY, AND, UH, MY OFFICE IS HOUSED IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, SO I SEE SOME NEW FACES HERE.
I WAS HERE ABOUT A YEAR AGO, UM, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AND I TRY TO DO THIS ONCE A YEAR OR SO.
UM, MILLICENT WILL DO THE BROWN ACT AFTER THIS AND JUST TALK ABOUT A COUPLE, UM, REMINDERS, ET CETERA.
UM, BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, I JUST WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE OFFICE OF THAT IN TRANSPARENCY.
IT'S TO BUILD TRUST AMONG THE EMPLOYEES, THE PUBLIC AND OFFICIALS, AND, UH, WORK ON PROVIDING THE NECESSARY RESOURCES SO YOU ALL CAN MAKE IMPARTIAL, IMPARTIAL DECISIONS.
AS STEWARDS AND PUBLIC RESOURCES, WE ARE NOT, UM, AN INVESTIGATIVE OR ENFORCEMENT OFFICE.
SO WHAT WE DO IS REALLY CENTERED ON, UH, GUIDANCE AND EDUCATION.
WE DO MANAGE AN ETHICS HELPLINE, UM, TRANSPARENCY AND PUBLIC TRUST.
SO UNDER THE OFFICE OF ETHICS AND TRANSPARENCY IS THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT PROGRAM.
AND, UM, OF COURSE, AS I MENTIONED, ALWAYS WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS.
SO JUST SOME OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2025 WERE ALREADY HALFWAY THROUGH 26, WHICH IS JUST AMAZING TO ME.
UM, SO LAST YEAR WE LAUNCHED A FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC ROADMAP.
WE ADVANCED A CITYWIDE ETHICS FRAMEWORK, SO THAT IS NOW REFERRED TO AS THE FAIR ACT.
THE FAIR ACT IS SOMETHING YOU'LL WANT TO KEEP ON YOUR RADAR.
UM, THIS IS CURRENTLY, UH, GOING THROUGH CITY COUNCIL PROCESS.
UM, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE COMING BACK FOR A STUDY SESSION, BUT WHAT THE FAIR ACT DOES IS IT WORKS TO REALLY, UM, BRING TOGETHER ALL THE DIFFERENT POLICIES AND BEST PRACTICES AND PROCESSES, UM, THAT WE TEND TO FOLLOW.
BUT SOME OF THEM ARE OVER HERE AND SOME OF 'EM ARE OVER HERE.
SO, UM, JUST WORKING REALLY HARD WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO BRING ALL OF THAT TOGETHER IN SOME SORT OF COMPREHENSIVE ORDINANCE.
UM, SO AGAIN, THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL AFFECT YOU DIRECTLY, UH, ONCE THAT'S IN PLACE.
UH, WE ALSO DEVELOPED A FRAMEWORK FOR ETHICAL DECISION MAKING.
THIS IS JUST A TOOL THAT WE GIVE OUT TO EMPLOYEES, UH, TO KIND OF GUIDE THEM THROUGH DIFFERENT SITUATIONS THAT MAY COME UP.
UM, JUST IT'S A LITTLE ROADMAP OF SORTS, QUESTIONS, QUESTION ASKING, UM,
[00:05:01]
ET CETERA.SO JUST AGAIN, GUIDES THEM THROUGH THAT.
WE ALSO BUILT OUT A MASTER COMMUNICATIONS AND EDUCATION PLAN AND, UH, CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR STAFF LIAISONS.
AND, UH, THIS ROADSHOW IS PART OF, UM, WHAT WE CALL INTERNALLY THE ROADSHOW IS PART OF OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS TO COMMISSIONS.
AND I SHOULD NOTE THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE DOES JOIN ME FROM TIME TO TIME.
THIS WAS ACTUALLY IN PART, UM, THEIR INITIATIVE TO START THE ROAD SHOW.
SO, UM, WHEN JEFF ISN'T BUSY DOING OTHER THINGS, HE'S WITH ME.
WHAT DOES FAIR STAND FOR? IS IT AN ACRONYM FOR SOMETHING? YES.
FRAMEWORK FOR ACCOUNTABILITY AND INTEGRITY.
PRETTY, SORRY, I FORGET THE R
DO WE HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT? UM, FOREVER.
IT WAS CALLED EGA, WHAT WE WERE CALLING IT BEFORE IT BECAME THE FAIR ACT.
SO IN MY MIND IT'S STILL CALLED, IT'S THE ETHICS AND GOVERNMENT ACT, BUT THE MAYOR TO NOT LIKE THAT TITLE.
SO, OKAY, THAT'S OKAY WITH THAT.
SO ANYWAY, THIS IS THE FRAMEWORK AND THIS IS THE PROCESS THAT TAKES YOU THROUGH, UH, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT MAYBE SOME GRAY AREAS, UM, THAT ARE JUST, IT'S NOT AN EASY YES OR NO.
SO THIS YEAR, UM, AGAIN, WORKING ON THE FAIR ACT, UM, CONTINUE TO TRAIN AND EDUCATE ON OUR FRAMEWORK, UM, DOING A LOT OF TARGETED OUTREACH ON MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP THIS YEAR.
AND, UH, JUST WORKING REALLY HARD TO TRY AND KEEP ETHICS FUN AND JUST PLAIN LANGUAGE, UM, AND APPLYING REAL LIFE SITUATIONS.
SO AGAIN, SOME OF OUR TARGETED TRAINING THIS YEAR HAS BEEN, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH, UH, FIELD OFFICERS, INSPECTION OFFICERS.
UM, SO JUST TRYING TO HAVE ETHICS APPLY, UH, TO WHAT THEY DO.
SO NOW WE'RE JUST GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ETHICS.
EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LITTLE POINTY FINGER LIKE THAT.
UH, THAT'S JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER FOR ALL OF YOU.
UM, SO ADVISORY BODIES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY ADVISE, THEY RECOMMEND YOU GUYS INFORM, AND ALL OF THAT REALLY SHAPES PUBLIC TRUST.
UM, YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU DON'T MAKE THE FINAL DECISIONS, BUT YOU WORK HARD ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEY GET TO CITY COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR, AND THEY DO BECOME, YOU KNOW, EITHER POLICY OR A PROGRAM, UM, ET CETERA.
SO WHAT YOU DO REALLY DOES INFLUENCE CITY DECISIONS.
UM, SO I'D JUST LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AND GIVE YOU ALL AND ADD A BOY AND GIRLS, UM, THAT YOUR ROLE REALLY DOES MATTER.
REMINDER, ANNUAL REPORTS, THOSE ARE, THOSE WERE DUE JUNE 1ST.
SO YEAH, WE JUST, UM, THAT WASN'T REALLY BEING FOLLOWED FOR THE LONGEST TIME.
UM, BUT THAT CAME BACK TO LIFE ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, AND I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT WAY TO PROMOTE WHAT YOU GUYS DO.
FORM 700, HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS, OR YOU ALL GOT THOSE IN ON TIME.
UH, THOSE ARE DUE APRIL 1ST AND DUE ANNUALLY.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THAT? UH, AS AN APPOINTED OFFICIAL, AND MELISSA WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO HELP ME, BUT AS AN APPOINTED OFFICIAL MAKING, UM, WHAT COULD BE FINANCIAL DECISIONS? UM, YEAH, IT'S BASICALLY, UH, UM, IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WHAT YOUR FINANCIAL INTERESTS ARE.
SO THEY'RE INFORMED WHEN YOU MAKE DECISIONS THAT THAT MAY, UH, BENEFIT YOUR FINANCIAL INTEREST.
SO THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IS EXACTLY WHAT IT'S LOOKING AT, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE DOESN'T CONFLICT WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING AS A CITY, UM, APPOINTED OFFICIAL.
SO, JUST A REMINDER, AGAIN, MILLICENT WILL GO OVER THIS IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
UM, COMMISSION MEETINGS HAVE TO BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BROWN ACT.
IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BYLAWS, THOSE BYLAWS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.
AND THEN ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER.
UH, AGAIN, THESE RULES ARE IMPORTANT 'CAUSE THAT ENSURES OPEN AND TRANSPARENT DELIBERATION, TRANSPARENT DELIBERATION, EQUAL ACCESS TO INFORMATION, AND THEN OF COURSE, PUBLIC TRUST IN THE PROCESS.
THAT'S REALLY OUR OBJECTIVE A LOT OF THE TIME, IS TO HOLD ONTO THAT PUBLIC TRUST.
I ALSO, DURING THIS PRESENTATION, LIKE TO TALK JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT UNBIASED DECISION MAKING.
UM, JUST REMINDING YOU THAT IT'S REALLY CRITICAL THAT YOU REMAIN IMPARTIAL IN OBJECTIVES.
YOUR DECISIONS SHOULD BE BASED ON FACTS, SHOULD BE BASED ON THE RECORD
[00:10:01]
HERE AT YOUR COMMISSION MEETINGS, AND THE ADOPTED CRITERIA THAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT.UM, EVEN THE APPEARANCE OF BIAS CAN UNDERMINE PUBLIC TRUST.
SO AGAIN, DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE WHEN YOU ALL ARE SITTING HERE AND NOT BEFORE YOU COME INTO THE MEETING.
SO, FAIRNESS AND PROCESS CONTINUED.
UM, ONLY THE CHAIR OR ANOTHER MEMBER FORMALLY AUTHORIZED BY YOUR COMMISSION MAY SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION.
SO THIS INCLUDES, UM, ADDRESSING CITY COUNCIL AND OTHER PUBLIC MEETINGS, EMAILS AND LETTERS, SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND, UH, SIGNATURES WHY THIS MATTERS.
FORMAL APPROVAL PROCESSES HELP ENSURE STATEMENTS MADE OUTSIDE MEETINGS, REFLECT THE COMMISSION'S COLLECTIVE POSITION SO YOU'RE NOT OUT REPRESENTING THE COMMISSION IN A WAY THAT THEY'RE NOT, UM, APPRISED OF.
ALL OF DECISIONS LIKE THAT AGAIN, NEED TO BE MADE TOGETHER, UM, USUALLY BY A VOTE.
UH, WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE IT REFLECTS, AGAIN, THE COMMISSION'S COLLECTIVE POSITION ALIGNED WITH ADOPTED CRITERIA.
AND DON'T PROMOTE PERSONAL AGENDAS.
OF COURSE, YOU CAN SPEAK PERSONALLY AS A RESIDENT.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION SEASON, IF THERE'S A CERTAIN LONG BEACH CANDIDATE THAT YOU REALLY WANNA SUPPORT AND SHOUT IT OUT ON THE MOUNTAINTOPS, YOU CAN DO THAT.
YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT AS A COMMISSIONER, AND YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY CITY, UH, MERCHANDISE ON LIKE A POLO, ET CETERA.
UM, AND IF THERE'S EVER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE AN ATTORNEY ASSIGNED TO THE COMMISSION.
UM, JUST TO ADD, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE QUESTIONS LIKE THAT.
THESE ARE THE TRAININGS THAT YOU'RE, UH, REQUIRED TO TAKE.
WE HAVE OUR 30 MINUTE CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS.
THAT'S THE 30 MINUTE TRAINING THAT YOU TAKE ANNUALLY.
NOW, UH, THE STATE AND CITY REQUIRED HARASSMENT TRAINING.
YOU ALSO HAVE, UH, AB 1234, WHICH IS THE STATE'S REQUIRED ETHICS TRAINING.
AND THEN WHEN YOU CAME ON BOARD TO THE COMMISSION, UH, YOU HAD TO DO, UH, THE 2030 STRATEGIC VISION AND PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE.
SO ALL OF THIS LIVES AND LEARN, UM, I'M ASSUMING YOU ALL HAVE YOUR LEARN ACCOUNTS ACTIVATED, AND IF YOU'RE, UH, HAPPEN TO MISS THE, THE DUE DATE FOR A TRAINING, YOU'LL GET REMINDERS EVERY SO OFTEN FROM LEARN UNTIL THAT'S COMPLETE.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THIS PAST YEAR, UM, THE CITY ATTORNEY DID NOT HAVE TO REMOVE ANY COMMISSIONERS FOR NONCOMPLIANCE THE YEAR BEFORE SHE HAD TO REMOVE SEVEN COMMISSIONERS.
SO IT'S A LOT TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY.
THIS IS THE WHOLE, HOW DO WE KNOW IF WE HAVEN'T DONE SOMETHING, YOU'LL LET US KNOW.
IS THAT WHAT HAPPENS? WELL, YOU SHOULD BE GETTING REMINDERS FROM LEARN, BUT THEN YOU'RE, I'M ASSUMING LILIA PROBABLY MANAGES THAT.
SO YEAH, THERE'S SOMEBODY LOOKING OUT FOR YOU.
AND WE'RE NOT GONNA LIKE, REMOVE YOU RIGHT AWAY.
WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA REMIND YOU SEVERAL TIMES.
AND, UH, BEFORE IT COMES TO THAT, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE TO YOU, OUR HELPLINE IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, UM, AND CONFIDENTIAL AND ANONYMOUS IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE.
SO, JUST A COUPLE KEY TAKEAWAYS.
YOUR ROLE AS ADVISORY, NOT INDIVIDUAL.
UH, JUST A REMINDER WHEN YOU'RE SPEAKING PERSONALLY VERSUS OFFICIALLY.
AND IF YOU'RE SPEAKING OFFICIALLY, THAT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION.
FORMAL APPROVAL PROCESSES MATTER.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMAIN FAIR AND IMPARTIAL AND UNBIASED.
AGAIN, MELISSA, IT'S GONNA TALK ABOUT MEETING RULES AND PROCEDURES.
I JUST TALKED ABOUT THE TRAININGS, AND IF YOU'RE EVER UNSURE, YOU'VE GOT A CITY TEAM AND YOU'VE GOT AN ATTORNEY, UH, HERE TO SUPPORT YOU.
AND THESE ARE ALL RESOURCES THAT WE KEEP UP.
TO DATE, I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT, UH, THE ETHICS GUIDE FOR LONG BEACH CITY OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES.
THIS IS MANAGED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND IT, IT GIVES A PRETTY THOROUGH, HIGH LEVEL, BUT THOROUGH OVERVIEW OF ALL OF, UM, THE STATE REQ, WELL, MOSTLY STATE REQUIREMENTS, UH, THAT APPLY TO YOU AS OFFICIALS.
UM, AND THEN THE COMMISSION BOARD AND COMMITTEE HANDBOOK MANAGED BY OUR CLERK'S OFFICE.
UH, LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION IN THERE TOO, US RELATED TO YOUR COMMISSION WORK.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN A YEAR PLUS.
UM, TIME GOES VERY, VERY QUICKLY
[00:15:01]
AT TIMES.WELL, WE DID HAVE A, A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM MILLER AND CONING.
UM, SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS ABOUT THE PRESENTATION? OKAY.
AND THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION AND, UM, AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE GET ALL YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE.
UM, I DON'T THINK ANY PUBLIC COMMENT WAS ON THE RECORD HERE.
UM, SO I THINK WE ARE WITH NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.
I THINK WE'RE READY TO CALL THE RULE.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO NUMBER THREE, RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A PRESENTATION ON THE RALPH M. BROWN ACT FROM THE OFFICE AND THE CITY ATTORNEY.
AND MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN THIS ITEM? MOTION? WE HAVE A MOTION FROM YOUNG SECOND FROM RICHIE.
AND I'LL NOW TURN THINGS OVER TO OUR GUEST FOR THE NEXT PRESENTATION.
I HAVEN'T APPEARED BEFORE THIS BODY BEFORE I STARTED, UM, WITH THE CITY IN SEPTEMBER.
I ADVISE ALL ALL THE COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES OF THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS ALL THE STAFF.
UM, SO, UM, I'M PRESENTING ON THE BROWN ACT.
OF COURSE, IT GOVERNS THE, HOW THIS COMMITTEE CONDUCTS ITS ITS BUSINESS.
SO THE BROWN ACT, UM, WAS ENACTED IN 1953 IN RESPONSE TO, UM, A SERIES OF REPORTS BY A SAN FRANCISCO REPORTER ABOUT HOW CITIES WERE MEETING IN SECRET AND CONDUCTING BUSINESS PRIVATELY.
UM, AND SO THE STATE LEGISLATURE GOT TOGETHER AND PASSED THE BROWN.
IT'S ONE OF CALIFORNIAN'S MAIN SUNSHINE LAWS, UM, ALONG WITH THE, THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT.
THE IDEA WITH THE SUNSHINE LAW IS SUNSHINE IS THE BEST, UM, DISINFECTANT ON FRAUD AND INEPTITUDE, UM, NEGLIGENCE, CORRUPTION AND, AND DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.
UM, AND SO A TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT IS ONE THAT HAPPENS OUT IN THE SUNSHINE AND THE OPEN.
UM, AND IS IT IS ACTUALLY A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ATTEND THESE MEETINGS, UM, BY OUR, OUR STATE CONSTITUTION.
SO THESE ARE, UM, SOME OF THE MAIN GENERAL PRINCIPLES THAT I WILL BE DISCUSSING, UM, THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION.
BUT BEFORE I DO THAT, I, I ALWAYS LIKE TO READ, UM, THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE BROWN ACT COMMITTEES.
'CAUSE I THINK ONE, IT'S A A ARTFUL PIECE OF WRITING, WHICH IS, UM, RARE FOR THE STATE LEGISLATOR, FRANKLY.
UM, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, UM, JUST TO, UM, HAMMER DOWN THE MESSAGE ABOUT THE BROWN ACT.
SO, UM, THE BROWN ACT DECLARE, UH, THE STATE LEGISLATOR FINDS AND DECLARES THAT THE PUBLIC COMMISSIONS, BOARDS AND COUNCILS AND OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES IN THE STATE EXISTS TO AID IN THE CONDUCT OF THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.
IT IS THE INTENT OF THE LAW THAT THEIR ACTIONS BE TAKEN OPENLY AND THAT THEIR DELIBERATIONS BE CONDUCTED OPENLY.
THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE DO NOT YIELD THEIR SOVEREIGNTY TO THE AGENCIES WHICH SERVE THEM.
THE PEOPLE IN DELEGATING AUTHORITY DO NOT GIVE THEIR PUBLIC SERVANTS THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE TO KNOW AND WHAT IS NOT FOR GOOD FOR THEM TO KNOW.
THE PEOPLE INSIST ON REMAINING INFORMED SO THAT THEY MAY RETAIN CONTROL OVER THE INSTRUMENTS THEY HAVE CREATED.
SO THAT PERFECTLY ENCAPSULATES EVERYTHING UP ON THIS SLIDE.
SO, UM, ALL MEETINGS, UM, SUBJECT TO THE BROWN ACT MUST BE OPEN AND PUBLIC.
UM, ALL ACTIONS AND DELIBERATIONS MUST BE TAKEN OPENLY.
THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN MEETINGS AND ONLY MATTERS LISTED ON THE AGENDA CAN BE DISCUSSED AMONGST THE BODY.
AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT, UH, MEETINGS ARE OPEN AND PUBLIC BECAUSE, UM, IT AVOIDS THE POSSIBILITY OF IMPROPERLY DISCUSSING, UH, COMMISSION COMMITTEE BUSINESS, UM, WITHOUT THE PUBLIC PRESENT.
AND IT HELPS PROTECT THE DUE PROCESS RIGHTS OF PARTIES APPEARING ABOVE, UH, BEFORE THE BODY.
THAT'S, UM, MORE IN RELATION TO HEARINGS.
UM, CITY COUNCIL WILL CONDUCT HEARINGS ON, ON PERMITS, FOR EXAMPLE.
SO THAT'S, UM, WHERE THAT COMES IN.
BUT ESSENTIALLY, IF THE PUBLIC EVEN PERCEIVES YOU ENGAGING IN WRONGDOING OR MISCONDUCT, IT CALLS INTO QUESTION YOUR ABILITY TO CARRY OUT THE BUSINESS OF THE CITY, WHICH IS ALWAYS, UM, FOR THE MOST PART OPEN AND PUBLIC.
AND ALSO IT HAS TO BE FAIRNESS MAY BE DONE IN FAIRNESS AND OBJECTIVITY AS WELL.
[00:20:01]
SO, WHO IS SUBJECT TO THE BROWN ACT? UM, GOVERNING BODIES LIKE OUR CITY COUNCIL, UM, COMMISSIONS, UM, COMMITTEES AND BOARDS CREATED BY FORMAL ACTION OF CITY COUNCIL.SO THIS COMMITTEE WAS, UH, FORMED BY FORMAL ACTION OF CITY COUNCIL.
IT WAS AN ORDINANCE, UH, IT IS IN THE MUNICIPAL CODE.
UM, THERE ARE SOME OTHER, UM, BODIES THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THE BROWN ACT.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, BODIES ARE ENTITIES THAT RECEIVE FUNDS FROM THE CITY AND THE BODY RECEIVES, UH, OR THE BODY INCLUDES A COUNCIL MEMBER.
UM, HOWEVER, FOR FOR YOUR SAKE, UM, A BODY IS A, A LEGISLATIVE BODY IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE BROWN ACT, IF IS, IF IT IS TEMPORARY, AND IT IS MADE OUT OF MEMBERS THAT ARE LESS THAN A QUORUM.
UM, AND THE REASON WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S, UH, INEFFICIENT FOR A WHOLE COMMITTEE TO MEET ALL THE TIME TO CONDUCT BUSINESS.
SO THE BROWN ACT ALLOWS A WAY, THERE'S A WAY IN THE BROWN ACT FOR SMALLER GROUPS, LESS THAN THE QUORUM OF THE COMMITTEE OR COMMISSION TO MEET, CONDUCT SOME BUSINESS THAT WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH ALL THE OPEN AND PUBLIC AGENDA POSTING REQUIREMENTS.
SO THIS IS, UM, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE BROWN ACT, UM, ONE THING I WANNA EMPHASIZE IS WHENEVER THIS COMMITTEE MEETS, UH, THERE'S A QUORUM OF THIS COMMITTEE MEETS TOGETHER TO DISCUSS COMMITTEE BUSINESS.
THAT IS A MEETING NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, NO MATTER.
YEAH, JUST WHEN THIS, UH, BODY MEETS AND A MAJORITY OF IT MEETS AND TALKS ABOUT COMMITTEE BUSINESS, THAT IS A MEETING.
OF COURSE, WHEN YOU ALL, LET'S SAY THERE'S A MAJORITY OF YOU IN RALPH'S, AND IT'S LIKE, OH, HEY GUYS, LIKE, WHAT ARE THE COINCIDENCES? WE'RE ALL HERE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF US, LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME COMMISSION BUSINESS.
THAT'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU, THE COMMITTEE DIDN'T POST THE AGENDA IN ADVANCE AND IT DIDN'T NOTIFY THE PUBLIC OF THE COMMITTEE'S BUSINESS, RIGHT? SO THAT'S AN LEGAL MEETING.
UM, SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS, YOU RUN INTO TROUBLE WITH THAT EXACT ISSUE.
SO LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE, UM, THE CHAIR EMAILS THE VICE CHAIR.
THE VICE CHAIR SENDS THAT EMAIL TO FIVE OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
THAT'S A SERIAL COMMUNICATION BECAUSE IT'S A SERIES OF COMMUNICATIONS IN WHICH THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THOSE COMMUNICATIONS CONSTITUTE A QUORUM OF THE COMMITTEE.
SO WHENEVER, UH, THIS IS WHY WHEN I EMAIL COMMISSION OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS, I BLIND COPY THEM, RIGHT? SO THEY CAN'T REPLY TO, THEY CAN'T REPLY ALL, AND THAT CONSTITUTES A MEETING, RIGHT? UM, SO THAT'S WHY THE, UH, STAFF AND I TAKE CAREFUL STEPS TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ANY LEGAL MEETING.
SO THESE ARE, UM, SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS CAN HAPPEN.
UM, AND I'LL JUST GO THROUGH THESE, UM, IN THE NEXT SLIDE.
SO THE FIRST IS KNOWN AS THE HUB AND SPOKE.
THIS IS WHEN ONE MEMBER CONTACTS ALL OR A MAJORITY OF THE OTHER MEMBERS.
UM, SO LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE, UM, THE VICE CHAIR SEPARATELY EMAILS, EVERY COMMITTEE MEMBER THAT'S A HUB AND SPOKE COMMUNICATION.
UM, SO THAT WOULD VIOLATE THE BROWN ACT BECAUSE, UM, IT WOULDN'T BE SUBJECT.
THE MEETING WAS, THE MEETING WAS NOT POSTED AT AHEAD OF, UH, OF TIME
YOU HAVE, UM, DAISY CHAIN COMMUNICATIONS.
THIS IS SIMILAR TO HUB AND SPOKE COMMUNICATION.
SO, UM, IN THIS, THIS EXAMPLE, LET'S SAY, UM, MEMBER BLUE CONTACTS MEMBER, GREEN MEMBER GREEN CONTACTS, MEMBER ORANGE, MEMBER ORANGE, THEN CONTACTS MEMBER PINK.
UM, SO LET'S SAY THIS BODY HAD FIVE, UH, MEMBERS OF OF THE BODY, FOUR HAVE BEEN CONTACTED HERE.
SO THAT WOULD BE A SERIAL, UM, SERIAL COMMUNICATION.
SO ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS, UH, A COMMUNICATION BY REPRESENTATIVE.
UM, SO LORI WOULD NEVER DO THIS, BUT LET'S SAY LORI, UM, TALKS TO THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR, THEN SHE GOES, TALKS TO TWO OTHER MEMBERS, AND THEN SHE TALKS TO TWO OTHER MEMBERS ABOUT THE SAME THING.
THAT IS, UM, AN ILLEGAL OR PROHIBITED COMMUNICATION, UM, BY REPRESENTATIVE.
SO, UM, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, EMAILS, TEXTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA IS WHEN SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS OFTEN COME UP.
UM, SO JUST BE MINDFUL TO NOT, UH, TEXT OR EMAIL OR REPLY ALL IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH, UM, UH, THIS, UH, COMMITTEE, UM, FOR SOCIAL MEDIA.
UM, THE BROWN ACT DOES ALLOW MEMBERS OF A LEGISLATIVE BODY TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA
[00:25:01]
TO ENGAGE WITH THE PUBLIC ON MATTERS WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTION.UM, HOWEVER YOU GET INTO TROUBLE WHEN, LET'S SAY A MEMBER POSTS SOMETHING ON FACEBOOK AND THEN YOU HAVE THREE MEMBERS LIKE IT, OR COMMENT OR FOUR, THAT BECOMES A SERIAL COMMUNICATION.
'CAUSE THEN YOU'RE DISCUSSING AND ENGAGING IN, UM, PUBLIC BUSINESS, UM, WITHOUT CALLING FOR A MEETING.
UM, THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF A PROHIBITED COMMUNICATION.
SO WHAT TYPES OF COMMUNICATIONS ARE ALLOWED? SO INDIVIDUAL CONTACTS, UM, BETWEEN A MEMBER AND ANOTHER MEMBER.
UM, AND AS ALWAYS, UH, MEMBERS CAN'T SPEAK WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, UM, ADVOCATES, REPORTERS, UM, AND, UH, UH, WITH STAFF AND, AND THEIR COLLEAGUES.
THOUGH I SHOULD NOTE THAT HEATHER MENTIONED IN HER PRESENTATION, IF THERE'S A MEDIA INQUIRY, UM, ONLY, UH, YOU SHOULD DIRECT THAT TO STAFF TO HANDLE.
UM, THERE MAY BE RARE TIMES WHERE, UM, THERE MAY BE TIMES WHERE YOU, YOU WOULD MAKE A COMMENT, BUT THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE CHAIR AS HE IS THE, UM, SPOKESPERSON FOR THE, FOR THE COMMITTEE.
BUT THAT'S EXTREMELY RARE, AND YOU SHOULD TALK WITH STAFF IF THAT EVER COMES UP.
SO AGAIN, THE TYPES OF COMMUNICATIONS THAT ARE ALLOWED IS WHEN THE COMMITTEE MEETS AS A WHOLE, UM, IN A NOTICE AND AGENDAS MEETING.
UM, THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS, UM, MEETING REQUIREMENT.
THEY ARE, UH, EXTREMELY FACT SPECIFIC.
UH, FOR EXAMPLE, THE COMMITTEE CAN ATTEND A SOCIAL OR CEREMONIAL EVENT.
THEY CAN ATTEND THIS DOG'S BIRTHDAY.
UM, IT'S NOT RELATED TO COMMISSION BUSINESS OR COMMITTEE BUSINESS, UM, THAT IS ALLOWED UNDER THE BROWN ACT.
UM, THERE ARE OTHER EXCEPTIONS, LIKE YOU CAN ATTEND CITY COUNCIL AS A, AS A COMMITTEE.
UM, AND THAT WILL NOT, UH, RESULT IN A BROWN ACT VIOLATION.
BUT AGAIN, IF, IF SITUATIONS LIKE THAT COME UP, ALWAYS TALKED TO STAFF BEFOREHAND.
SO AS YOU, UH, MIGHT KNOW, THERE IS A A TIME REQUIREMENT IN TERMS OF, OF HOW THIS COMMITTEE CALLS ITS MEETING.
WE HAVE TO POST THE AGENDA 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE.
UM, THOSE ARE FOR REGULAR MEETINGS, FOR SPECIAL MEETINGS.
UM, AND SPECIAL MEETINGS ARE MEETINGS IN WHICH, UM, THAT FALL OUTSIDE THE REGULAR, UH, TIME AND, AND DATE OF, UH, A LEGISLATIVE BODY'S MEETING SCHEDULE.
SO IN THE AGENDA, UM, AS YOU, UH, PROBABLY KNOW, THERE NEEDS TO BE A BRIEF GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF EACH AGENDA ITEM THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WHAT BUSINESS WILL BE CONDUCTED SO THEY CAN PLAN AHEAD OF TIME TO COME AND SPEAK ON A AGENDA ITEM IF THEY WISH.
UM, IT HAS TO INCLUDE THE DATE AND TIME AND LOCATION OF THE MEETING.
UM, AND IT MUST BE POSTED IN A LOCATION THAT'S FREELY ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC.
UM, SO, UH, FOR PURPOSES OF, OF THIS REQUIREMENT, POSTING ON THE INTERNET IS, IS SUFFICIENT.
UM, YOU'LL SEE OTHER COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES STILL PHYSICALLY POST THEIR AGENDAS AND ON OUTSIDE, OUTSIDE THEIR MEETING LOCATIONS.
UM, BUT FOR PURPOSES OF THIS THEATER IS SUFFICIENT.
SO MEETINGS CAN ONLY BE HELD WITHIN THE, THE BOUNDARIES OF, OF THE CITY.
AND, AND THIS ISSUE HAS COME UP WHERE COMMISSIONS OR COMMUNITIES WANT TO MEET OUTSIDE THE CITY.
IT HAS TO BE WITHIN THE CITY OF LONG BEACH BOUNDARIES.
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE FOR THAT? UM, THE PUR, YOU KNOW, I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
I SUSPECT THE STATE LEGISLATOR WANTS THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY THAT IS CONDUCTING AND IN CHARGE OF THE PUBLIC BUSINESS TO MEET, ACTUALLY MEET IN THE CITY IN WHICH THEY ARE HELD.
UM, SO IT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE FOR CITY COUNCIL TO MEET IN CITY OF LA BECAUSE IT WOULD MEAN RESIDENTS IN LONG BEACH WOULD'VE TO DRIVE UP TO CITY OF LA TO ATTEND MEETINGS OF A GOVERNING BODY THAT GOVERN THEIR, THEIR LIVES AND HOMES AND ET CETERA.
SO THERE ARE A FEW FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS THE PUBLIC HAVE, UM, IN THE BROWN ACT.
SO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO PUB, UH, TO MAKE COMMENT ON MATTERS OF THE AGENDA.
UM, THEY CAN RECORD MEETINGS, UM, EITHER AUDIO OR, OR VISUALLY.
UM, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO REVIEW AGENDAS AND OTHER WRITINGS DISTRIBUTED TO A MAJORITY OF THE BODY.
SO THIS, FOR EXAMPLE, THIS PRESENTATION IS PUBLICLY POSTED.
UM, THE PUBLIC HAS THE RIGHT TO SEE ANY MATERIALS, UH, LEGISLATIVE BODY, UM, WILL LOOK AT CONSIDER BEFORE, BEFORE THE MEETING.
UM, AND THIS IS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE, UM, AGAIN, THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE INFORMED OF WHAT WILL BE DISCUSSED AND WHAT MATERIALS WILL BE HANDED OUT.
UM, WHEN A LEGISLATIVE BODY MEETS, UM, THE PUBLIC HAS THE RIGHT TO, UM, ATTEND WITHOUT
[00:30:01]
IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES.THEY CAN MAKE AN ANONYMOUS NAME.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEIR NAME WHENEVER THEY WANNA MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.
AND ALL VOTES MUST BE CAST IN PUBLIC.
AND, AND, AND THIS IS, UH, SUPER IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY, THERE CANNOT BE ANY SECRET BALLOTS ALLOWED.
DELIBERATION HAS TO TAKE DELIBERATION AND VOTES HAVE TO TAKE PLACE, UM, PUBLICLY.
SO THERE ARE, UM, SOME PENALTIES THAT COME WITH VIOLATING THE BROWN ACT.
UM, ANY PERSON CAN BRING A, A CIVIL LAWSUIT ALLEGING A VIOLATION OF THE BROWN ACT.
AND THERE'S ALSO, UM, CRIMINAL PENALTIES BY MISDEMEANOR.
UM, SO IT IS A VERY SERIOUS, UM, UH, THING IF, UH, IF A BODY'S FOUND IN VIOLATION OF THE BROWN ACT, NOT ONLY DO YOU GET, UM, PENALTIES, BUT UM, IT ERODES PUBLIC TRUST.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS? I HAVE TO MAKE ONE COMMENT.
I'VE ALWAYS FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT THE LEGISLATURE SEEMS TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE BROWN ACT.
UM, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT.
UM, BUT THEY, YOU KNOW, INTERESTING, THEY DID PASS A LAW KIND OF COMPLETELY OVERHAULING THE BROWN ACT.
THEY DID NOT DO THE SAME FOR THE STATE EQUIVALENT, IS IT? THEY'LL POST AGENDAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, NINE HOURS BEFORE THE MEETING.
UM, AND OBVIOUSLY I RECOGNIZE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME UPDATES 'CAUSE I DON'T THINK SOCIAL MEDIA WAS PART OF IT, UH, WHEN IT WAS FIRST PASSED INTO LAW.
THAT'S MY GUESS, SO VERY GOOD.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC? OKAY.
WE HAD A, A MOTION, YOUNG SECOND RICHIE, AND I THINK WE ARE READY FOR THE VOTE.
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE CITY GOLF OPERATION, ORAL UPDATES AND, AND MOTION TO OPEN THIS ITEM.
AND WITH THAT, I THINK WE'RE READY FOR THE UPDATE.
I'M TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH IS THE MOST FUN.
UM,
I CAN TALK ABOUT HALL OF FAME.
UM, OUR HALL OF FAME COMMITTEE, UH, DID MEET AND, UM, WE HAD A REALLY GOOD BATCH OF NOMINATIONS THIS YEAR.
PROBABLY THE MOST I'VE SEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
UM, SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD, UH, GROUP THAT THEY HAD TO CHOOSE FROM.
AND SO THEY'VE SELECTED A CLASS OF THREE, UH, NEW MEMBERS WHO WILL BE INDUCTED.
UM, THIS AUGUST, AUGUST, I BELIEVE THE NINTH AT AROUND THREE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON FOLLOWING THE LONG BEACH OPEN.
UM, IT WILL BE JOEY SARU, BILL MCCORMICK AND MIKE ORTEGA.
OR CAN YOU REPEAT THAT, SORRY, ONE, ONE MORE TIME? YES.
JOEY SARU, WHO, UM, HAS ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH, UH, LONG BEACH JUNIOR GOLF, UM, YOU KNOW, UP THROUGH PLAYING THROUGH COLLEGE.
AND UM, UH, AND THEN AT THE LONG BEACH GOLF FESTIVAL, UM, ONE OF HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS WAS HELPING TO, UM, WHAT WAS IT? DIGITIZE, UH, LIVE SCORING.
UM, AND THEN IT'S BILL MCCORMICK AND IT WAS A THREE TIME CLUB CHAMPION AT SKY LINKS AND WON THE LONG BEACH MASTERS IN 62 THROUGH 64.
UM, HE, UM, ATTENDED TO, ATTENDED MILLIKEN WAS A THREE TIME PRESS, TELEGRAM, ALL CITY TEAM SELECTION.
UM, AND THEN MIKE ORTEGA, WHO IS A TORRANCE RESIDENT, BUT HAS, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, MANY TIES TO LONG BEACH, UM, AND WAS PRESIDENT OF SKY LINK MEN'S CLUB.
UM, AND WAS, UH, REALLY INSTRUMENTAL IN, UM, THE MERGER BETWEEN, I'M GONNA GET THE ACRONYMS WRONG, BUT THE PUBLIC LINKS GOLF ASSOCIATION, SCGA.
SO, UM, WE'LL WORK ON PROMOTING THAT.
AND, UM, DO THEY KNOW YET? HMM.
THEY KNOW THEY ARE BEING INFORMED YES.
UM, SO YES, HOPEFULLY JUST IN TIME.
DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, SO, I DUNNO.
SO WE SHOULD, WE SHOULDN'T CALL THEM RIGHT AFTER THIS MEETING JUST YET.
[00:35:01]
AND WE, YEAH, WE'LL SEE.MAYBE THE, MAYBE THE RECORDING CAN GO TO, WELL, WE'LL SEE IF I CAN GET THE RECORDING UP TODAY.
I HAVE A FEW, UM, FEES FROM THE LAST, UM, MEETING.
I KNOW YOU ALL APPROVED THE FEES, UH, RECOMMENDED THE FEES.
AND WE JUST HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, HOW THE PROCESS WOULD WORK.
SO, UM, I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS HOW IT'LL WORK EVERY YEAR, BUT THE FEES DID GO WITH THE, UM, FULL CITY, UH, MID-YEAR FEE ADJUSTMENT, SO THEY WERE APPROVED.
UM, SO THOSE WILL GO INTO EFFECT JULY 7TH.
SO NEW PLAYER, I'M SORRY, JULY 1ST.
SO NEW PLAYERS CLUB STRUCTURE, UM, COMING AS WELL.
UM, UH, AND ALSO THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR THE, UM, RUSHING WITH THE SPECIAL MEETING IN MARCH.
UM, WE DID, UM, ON THE, ON THE PAR ACT, THE AB 1954, UM, UH, RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CITY, UM, SUPPORT THE, THE ACT.
UM, AND I THINK KEVIN WILL GIVE US KIND OF A BETTER UPDATE ON THE ACT ITSELF.
UM, A LITTLE LATER THIS MEETING.
UM, I AM STILL WORKING ON GETTING THAT CITY ENDORSEMENT.
UM, SO JUST STAY TUNED FOR THAT.
I WILL LET YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHEN THAT COMES THROUGH.
IT'S STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION INTERNALLY.
SO, UM, BUT I DO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND IT HAS BEEN PUT FORTH.
UM, AND I THINK THOSE ARE MY MAIN UPDATES.
JUST, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER LITTLE THINGS WE'RE STILL WAITING ON FOR THE GOLF OPERATIONS MANUAL, WHICH IS JUST, I THINK IN ITS LAST STAGES OVERVIEW.
AND, UM, AND THEN ALSO THE SMOKING ARRANGEMENTS, WHICH IS JUST PENDING AS WELL, UM, PENDING COUNCIL.
I DO NOT KNOW IF I, UH, CONFIRMED WITH YOU ALL THAT THE ANNUAL REPORT WAS, UM, YOU KNOW, RECEIVED AND FILED BY, UH, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
BUT I CAN SEND YOU THE, UM, THE LINK TO WHERE IT WAS POSTED PUBLICLY AS WELL.
SO, UM, YEAH, I THINK THAT CONCLUDES MY UPDATES.
UH, SMOKING ORDINANCE MM-HMM
ARE WE STILL IN FRONT OF THE CITY ATTORNEY OR YEAH, WE'RE, THAT'S JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT IS STILL BEING WORKED ON.
IT'S JUST KIND OF TAKING TIME TO GET TO IT.
AND THAT'S FOCUSED ON THE DRIVING RANGE, RIGHT? YES.
SO, SO I JUST, IT'S BEEN SO LONG MM-HMM
BASICALLY YOU HAVE TO BE PLAYING GOLF.
SO OUT ON, OUT ON BETWEEN HOLES ONE AND 18, I GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT NOW.
AND ACTUALLY, WE NEED TO TOUCH BASE ON THAT BECAUSE IF THERE'S, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE, UM, MAPS OR THE LOCATIONS OF WHERE ANY OTHER, UM, LIKE AUTHORIZED AREAS FOR SMOKING WOULD BE.
BUT, UM, I'D LIKE TO GET A, A SENSE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
UM, SO WE'LL TOUCH BASE ON THAT ONE.
MORE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT, ASKING WHEN IT'S GOING TO GO INTO EFFECT.
OH, REALLY? SO IT'S POPULAR, SO PEOPLE THAT ARE HEARING ABOUT IT YEAH.
AND THEY'RE ASKING WHY IT TAKES EFFECT.
ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FOR LORI FROM MEMBERS? IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME? SHOULD I PROVIDE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE THEN ON THAT WORKS? 1954.
SO SINCE YOU MENTIONED THE ASSEMBLY BILL 1954, I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE AGAIN FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERING THE, THE BILL.
UM, I DO HAVE SOME INFORMATION.
WE WERE VERY PLEASED TO SEE THE BILL MOVED THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY AND IT'S NOW ONTO THE SENATE.
AND IT WASN'T, IT WAS A PRETTY EASY ROAD UNTIL THE BILL GOT SORT OF A CHALLENGING COMMITTEE ANALYSIS IN APPROPRIATIONS THAT SUGGESTED THAT IT WOULD COST POTENTIALLY UP TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR, UM, TO, FOR THE, TO THE STATE, WHICH WE DIDN'T FULLY UNDERSTAND.
SO WE WERE CONCERNED THAT THAT MIGHT, UM, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE BILL TO KEEP MOVING, BUT ACTUALLY IT, IT, IT GOT THROUGH, UM, WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
AND IT NOW HAS A, IT HAS A COMMITTEE MEETING ON THE 16TH, AND THEN IT WILL HAVE ANOTHER MEETING IN THE SENATE, UH, THE, THE NEXT WEEK.
SO BY THE END OF JUNE, WE'LL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA WHERE THINGS STAND.
UM, WE, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO SEE SOME OF THE SUPPORT LETTERS ROLL IN.
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET A LOT OF SUPPORT IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME JUST BECAUSE ALL OF THESE PROCESSES TAKE TIME.
SO, UM, BUT YEAH, THERE WERE, THERE WERE SOME, UM, THERE, THERE'S BEEN A, A LOT OF SUPPORT ACTUALLY THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL TOGETHER.
IF ANYONE'S HAD, YOU KNOW, CONVERSATIONS, UM, IT'S ALL HELPED.
AND, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY BY THE NEXT MEETING WE'LL HAVE, HAVE SOME VERY GOOD NEWS THAT IT'S JUST, UH, SITTING THERE FOR THE, THE, THE GOVERNOR TO MAKE A DECISION.
[00:40:01]
OKAY.QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? WE'RE GOOD.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? ALL RIGHT.
SO WITH THAT, UH, WE HAD A, A MOTION FROM BARRETT SECOND FROM ANDERSON, AND I THINK WE'RE READY FOR THE VOTE.
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE.
RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE AMERICAN GOLF ORAL UPDATES ON THE COURSES, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND OTHER ITEMS. AND CAN I GET A MOTION TO OPEN THIS ITEM? MOTION SECOND.
WE'VE GOT MOTION FROM YOUNG SECOND FROM ANDERSON, AND WITH THAT, I THINK THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
UM, WELL IT'S BEEN A FUN FIVE MONTHS SO FAR OF THE YEAR.
UM, BUT SO FAR WITH OUR AMBASSADOR PROGRAM AND OUR FUNDRAISING FOR THE YEAR, WE'VE RAISED A LITTLE OVER $28,000.
UM, AND MOST OF OUR BIG EVENTS ARE STILL YET TO COME.
UH, I KNOW THE ONE AT SKY LINKS FOR FOLDS OF HONOR USUALLY RAISES ANYWHERE FROM 25 TO 30.
UM, SO WE'RE EXPECTING, UM, A LOT OF GOOD FUNDRAISING GOALS TO GO BACK TO, TO THE CHARITIES HERE IN LONG BEACH, SO THAT'S GOOD.
UM, THE 2026 CAPITAL PROJECT, WE DID FINALLY GET AN EMAIL FROM THE CITY ON THE BLINKING LIGHTS FOR SKY LINKS.
UM, THEY NEED A NEW PLAN UPDATE.
UH, THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY IS WORKING ON IT AS OF, I DO BELIEVE THAT WAS MONDAY OR TUESDAY WHEN RYAN FINALLY BROUGHT US BACK.
UM, IT SEEMED LIKE EASY ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE.
ONE WAS ABOUT INSURANCE, UM, AND THE OTHER ONES WERE, I THINK JUST LITTLE EDITS ON THE PLANS.
BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE THOSE, HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE THOSE SOON.
UM, THEY KNOW IT'S A HIGH PRIORITY FOR US, SO WE'LL KEEP, WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.
UM, THE, THE REMAINING BUNKERS AT HARWELL AND BUNKERS AND TEES AT SKY LINKS, UM, BIDS WILL START PROBABLY BY THE END OF JULY, UM, TO GET THOSE BIDS IN AND START AS SOON AS THE OPENS OVER AND THE OTHER TOURNAMENTS OVER AND WE CAN GET BERMUDA FROM THE FARMS. UM, SO THAT'LL BE GOOD.
WE'RE ALSO, UM, IN THE MIDDLE OF GETTING BIDS TO FINISH THE BUNKERS AT EL DORADO.
UM, AND THOSE BIDS ARE HOPEFULLY GONNA START AND WE'LL START THE PROJECT JUST AFTER THE LONG BEACH OPEN IS COMPLETE.
WE LOOKED, I'M GONNA SKIP HARTWELL REAL QUICK.
EL DORADO, UM, ONE OF THE ONES FROM THE OLD DIRECTOR OF LONG BEACH WAS TO PUT UP A NEW WALL AROUND THE TRASH CANS AT EL DORADO SO YOU DON'T DRIVE IN, LOOK AT TRASH CANS, THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU SEE.
MM-HMM
UM, SO THOSE TWO PROJECTS ARE ON SCHEDULE TO START.
UM, WE SHOULD HAVE FINAL BIDS HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF JUNE, POTENTIALLY MID-JULY.
UM, BUT THOSE TWO PROJECTS ARE MOVING FORWARD.
UM, THE WEDDING LAWN AT REC 18, UH, WE'VE GOT THE PLANS APPROVED.
WE GOT THE A FE FOR THAT SIGNED.
SO AS SOON AS WE GET THE BIDDING DONE, OR EXCUSE ME, THE PLANS DONE, WE'LL GO TO BID ON THE NEW WEDDING LAWN AREA AT REC 18.
THE CARPETS AND FLOORING THROUGHOUT REC PARK, ALONG WITH A PRO SHOP REMODEL, UM, THOSE BEDS ARE RIGHT AROUND $190,000.
THAT'S THE FLOORING IN THE BANQUET ROOM.
THAT'S THE FLOORING IN THE FOYER CAFE PRO SHOP.
UM, AND THEN MOVING THE PRO SHOP COUNTER SO THAT IT GIVES YOU VISUALS OF THE FIRST TEE AND, YOU KNOW, BETTER AREAS TO SELL IN THE PRO SHOP.
SO IT'S BASICALLY LIKE A FULL REMODEL OF THE, OF THE PRO SHOP AND ALL THE FLOORING AT REC 18.
UM, SO WE'VE GOT THREE BIDS ON THAT ONE.
UH, SO WE'LL BE SUBMITTING THAT ONE SOON.
UH, THE DRIVING RANGE LIGHTS AT EL DORADO, THE BIDS CAME IN JUST UNDER 200,000.
UM, THEY'RE UPDATING ONE OF THE BIDS.
ONE OF 'EM ONLY HAD 25 FOOT POLES INSTEAD OF 40.
SO I THINK THAT PROJECT'S GONNA COME RIGHT IN AROUND 200,000.
UM, BUT TO GIVE EXTRA LIGHTS AT EL DORADO TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE COMPACTION FOR PLAYERS CLUB AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING HARD AT THAT ONE.
AND THEN UPGRADING ALL OF THE LIGHTS AT HARTWELL FROM HALOGEN TO LED, UH, THAT PROJECT'S A LITTLE MORE INTENSE.
I WANNA SAY THAT ONE'S GONNA COME IN AROUND 300 TO THREE 20.
UM, BUT GETTING SOME POLES REPLACED, WIRING FIXED LED LIGHTS, PUTTING 'EM IN THE RIGHT SPOT, MOVING SOME POLES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, SO THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT ARE THE BIG ONES.
THE ONES I SKIPPED WERE THE CART BARN EXPANSION AT HARTWELL.
UM, WE'VE, WE'VE SPENT ABOUT 9,000 AT HARTWELL SO FAR JUST TO GET ESSENTIALLY A PLAN SET TO GO TO PLANNING TO
[00:45:01]
EVEN LOOK AT ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS.AND FROM THOSE, THE PROJECT COULD EXCEED $2 MILLION JUST TO REMODEL THE CARD BARN.
SO I DON'T FORESEE ANYONE ON THE COMMITTEE NOT SPEAKING FOR ANYBODY, BUT I DON'T SEE THAT BEING REALLY A GOOD RETURN ON US FOR US.
UM, SO WE MIGHT SCRAP THAT ONE ALTOGETHER.
UM, THE CARD BARN EXPANSION AND RECREATION PARK NINE WHERE WE'D BE ABLE TO HOUSE UP TO 20 MORE CARTS IS IN THE RANGE OF 600 TO 900,000.
UM, WHICH ISN'T CRAZY WHEN YOU ADD UPWARDS OF 20 CARTS THAT YOU CAN USE ON A DAILY BASIS OVER THERE.
UM, THAT INVESTMENT WOULD ACTUALLY BE MORE WORTH IT TO ME ONCE I HAVE A FINAL NUMBER, UH, OR A CLOSER NUMBER.
UM, I'LL DEFINITELY PRESENT IT TO THE COMMITTEE BEFORE WE MAKE ANY DECISIONS TO MOVE FORWARD AND GO TO BID LIKE AN OFFICIAL BID.
UM, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF HARTWELL IS GONNA BE ON THAT LIST THAT CAME IN A LOT LARGER THAN THAN ANYBODY EVER EXPECTED.
WOULD THAT BE ADDING CARDS OR JUST EXISTING CARDS? HARWELL WE WOULD ADD, 'CAUSE WE ALREADY ADDED FOUR THAT WERE PARKING AND MAINTENANCE AND WE ALREADY ADDED THREE THAT WERE ABLE TO FIT IN.
WE JUST NEED MORE ELECTRICAL FOR THE ONES WE ADD IN THERE.
SO I THINK JUST BY DOING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND $2 MILLION.
UM, NOW IT'S JUST ABOUT FINDING THE CARTS AND, AND GETTING SOME EXTRA CARTS.
UM, BUT WE'VE ALREADY ADDED, I THINK WE ALREADY HAD SIX OR EIGHT THAT CAME DOWN OR THAT CAME UP FROM TELO CANYON.
SO I THINK YOU RAISED YOUR HAND QUESTION.
BIG WRECK THERE WAS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME, ME AND MY FRIENDS, BUT I THOUGHT THERE WAS TALK ABOUT ADDING A SECOND LEVEL TO THE DRIVING RANGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
UM, WAS THAT, WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT YET.
THAT IS IN, UM, CONJUNCTION WITH LEASE EXTENSIONS.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT IT CAME UP THOUGH.
RIGHT? I MEAN, UM, SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT ONE.
IT HAD BEEN DISCUSSED THOUGH, RIGHT? IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A SECOND LEVEL YET 'CAUSE YOU'D HAVE TO GO DOWN RIGHT, RIGHT.
BECAUSE OF THE HEIGHT OF THE NET AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
LEASE THE, YOU'RE LEASED WITH THE CITY IN ENCOMPASSES ALL COURSES AT ONCE, RIGHT? YES.
THEY'RE NOT INDIVIDUAL LEASES.
GARY, DID YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE CART BARN AT UH, WRECK 18 THAT'S IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DRIVING RANGE AND LEASE EXTENSIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT? WELL IF YOU DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU, YOU WERE GONNA DO WITH THE CART BARN, BUT YOU COULD AT LEAST PAINT THE OUTSIDE OF IT, SAND IT AND PAINT IT AND IT WOULD LOOK MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW.
IF THAT KEEPS FROM FALLING OVER.
IT COULD
WASN'T THERE A PLAN TO MOVE THE CART BARN TO WHERE THE SECOND GREEN IS NOW OVER THAT SIDE? UM, THAT WAS A PLAN THAT WENT IN, BUT THEN YOU GET INTO WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO ADD PARKING AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PARK CARS IN THE MIDDLE OF CONSTRUCTION AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO MOVING IT OVER THERE, WHILE IT SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF ROOM MM-HMM
THAT THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROOM OVER THERE.
WELL I HATED THE IDEA BECAUSE YOU'D LOSE PRACTICE AREAS, YOU LOSE PRACTICE.
I MEAN YOU DON'T, YOU WOULDN'T LOSE PRACTICE AREA, BUT, OH, ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, IF, IF IT'S OKAY, I GO INTO IT.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THREE TO FOUR FIVE YEAR EXTENSIONS ON OUR LEASE FOR $3 MILLION INVESTMENT FROM AMERICAN GOLF.
'CAUSE REC PARK'S THE FIRST MAIN PROJECT WE'RE THINKING REC PARK'S, JUST THE CONSTRUCTION AT REC PARK.
WE WOULD MOVE THE CART BARN ACROSS THE ROAD AT THE CORNER OF THE ROAD.
SO THE ROAD WOULD ACTUALLY BE CHANGED TO WHERE YOU'D MAKE A LEFT TURN AND YOU, THE DRIVING RANGE WOULD BE ALL THE WAY DOWN WHERE IT IS NOW AND IT WOULD COME UP TO WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY BEHIND THE RANGE RIGHT NOW, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
THE CART BARN WOULD BE ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH DIRECT ACCESS TO THE ROAD FOR A SAFETY ROUTE.
THE NEW PRACTICE AND CHIPPING AREA WOULD BE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF IT WITH UM, BUNKERS, CHIPPING GREENS, PUTTING GREENS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
WE WOULD ADD NEW NETTING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVING RANGE, POTENTIALLY GO TO A LOWER LEVEL IN AN UPPER LEVEL DECK TO ADD 30 TO 35 SPOTS ON THE DRIVING RANGE.
UM, AND THAT IN ITSELF IS PROBABLY GONNA BE TWO TO 3 MILLION.
UM, SO SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS WERE, UM, AN ACTUAL STRUCTURE AT EL DORADO FOR THE TENT.
UM, AND THAT WAS ONE OTHER ONE THAT WAS ON THAT LIST.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S A VERY LARGE PROJECT THAT IF IT WERE GOING TO BREAK GROUND AND WE CAN GET EVERYTHING SET, IT'S 20 27, 20 28.
TWO THINGS, UM, YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT FOR LITTLE REC PUTTING IN LIKE A HITTING AREA MM-HMM
IS THAT MORE THAN NORM? I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T TAKE THE AMOUNT OF PLANNING THAT'S GOING THROUGH,
[00:50:01]
UM, FOR ANY OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS.UH, BUT THAT'S STILL IN THE PLANS TO ADD A HITTING, HITTING WARMUP AREA AT HARWELL.
AND THEN WITH A NET OR SOMETHING.
ONE MORE THING THAT WE'RE, WE STILL ARE HOPING FOR SOME WATER, A WATER MACHINE AND I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN A COUPLE WEEKS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU PUT SOMETHING IN AT LITTLE WRECK.
SO WE FOUND, YOU SAID YOU FOUND A PIPE, THE YEAH.
AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE PLUMBER OUT THERE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET WATER THAT, BECAUSE THE OTHER PIPE WE FOUND IN THE CART BARN IS ABANDONED.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT, 'CAUSE THAT PIPE'S NOT CAPPED.
SO IT'S TURNED OFF SOMEWHERE AND WE'VE GOTTA FIND OUT WHERE IT'S TURNED OFF.
BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE WATER FOUND THERE RECOGNIZED BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NO ACCESS FOR WATER UNLESS YOU USE THE SINK IN THE BATHROOM OR SOMETHING.
WELL, THEY CAN GET YOU WATER IN THE, IN THE CAFE.
BUT LET ME, LET ME JUMP THAT START TO THE, TO THE FRONT OF THE LIST.
YOU WOULD MAKE A LOT OF WOMEN VERY HAPPY
AND I WON'T GO INTO HEADACHES ON THAT ONE, BUT IT'S NOW INSIDE, IT'S HOPING TO BE FULLY INSTALLED, HOPEFULLY TOMORROW.
BUT I WON'T GET STARTED ON THAT ONE.
THAT'S A, WE'VE ONLY HAD TO CUT THE DRYWALL OPEN TWICE, SO.
UM, SO THAT GOES OVER EVERYTHING FOR CIP.
THERE'S A LOT IN THE WORKS, BUT THERE'S A LOT THAT'S TAKING TIME WITH PLANS AND, AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
WITH THE HARWELL LIGHTING, THE CONVERTING TO LED, ARE THERE ANY LIKE REBATES OR ANYTHING YOU'RE GETTING WITH THAT? SO WITH THE REBATES, SO THAT'S WHAT OUR, UM, CAPITAL INSTRUMENT TEAM IS LOOKING AT.
IS IT, BECAUSE IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN USE CAPEX FOR, WE USE CAPEX FOR IT, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS.
'CAUSE OUR LEASE ONLY GOES TO 2029.
SO WE DON'T WANT SOMEBODY TO ASSUME A PAYMENT AFTER 2029 FOR SOMETHING THAT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN UPDATED.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH AND TALK TO THE CITY ABOUT ONCE WE GET ALL THE DETAILS.
SO, UM, THE GOLF FESTIVAL, UH, WELL FIRST AND FOREMOST WE FINISHED THE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP.
UM, BEN ELLA WON ON THE 18TH HOLE.
UH, THEY WERE, HE WAS TWO UP ON 14 ALL SQUARED ON 17 WENT ONE UP ON 17 AND THEY BOTH MISSED A PUT FOR EAGLE ON 18 MM-HMM
SO IT WAS A VERY INTENSE MATCH.
THE MEN CITY CHALLENGE AND MEN'S SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP.
UM, BOTH OF 'EM WENT REALLY WELL.
THEY WERE BOTH, ALL OF 'EM WERE SOLD OUT.
UH, MATCH PLAY YOU REALLY CAN'T SELL OUT, BUT WE HAD 91 PARTICIPANTS IN THE QUALIFIER.
UH, THAT'S USUALLY ABOUT WHAT WE GET, 80 TO A HUNDRED, SOMEWHERE IN THERE.
UH, THE NEXT ONE IS WOMEN'S CITY CHALLENGE.
UH, WE'VE GOT ABOUT 40 PEOPLE IN THERE SO FAR.
UH, LAST YEAR WE HAD, I WANNA SAY 36, SO WE'RE ON TRACK.
WE'VE STILL GOT ALMOST THREE WEEKS, UH, A LITTLE UNDER THREE WEEKS TO GET MORE SIGNUPS.
THE MEN CITY CHAMPIONSHIP, I WANT TO SAY WE'VE GOT 15 SPOTS LEFT TO FILL UP AND SELL OUT.
UH, THE JUNIORS IS AT ABOUT 32 TO 36 RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'VE GOT GOOD RESPONSE ON THAT ONE.
UH, LONG BEACH OPEN QUALIFIER, WE USUALLY DON'T GET A LOT OF SIGNUPS UNTIL JUNE.
I WANNA SAY THAT ONE'S AT 24 OR 25.
AND THEN THE LONG BEACH OPENS AT 24.
UM, WE'RE MAKING BIG PUSHES OVER THE NEXT THREE WEEKS TO GET MORE PEOPLE IN FOR THE LONG BEACH OPEN.
THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR SUMMER SCHEDULES A LOT OF TIMES UNTIL JUNE.
UM, BUT WE'RE STILL HOPING TO GET, YOU KNOW, UPWARDS OF 120 FOR THE LONG BEACH OPEN AS WELL, WHICH WE WILL THEN HAVE THE CEREMONY ON AUGUST 9TH, AROUND THREE O'CLOCK FOR HALL OF FAME.
UM, WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED ALMOST 60 KIDS FROM THE WAITING LIST.
UM, WE, WE OPENED UP THE PROGRAM SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR THEIR, UM, ETIQUETTE AND RULES CLASSES.
THEY ARE THERE FOR YOU EVERY SINGLE MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
UM, AND IF YOU'RE ON THE WAITING LIST, YOU'RE AUTOMATICALLY SIGNED UP, YOU CAN GET IN THOSE.
SO WE'VE GOTTEN ALL THE KIDS, I THINK WE HAVE FOUR OR FIVE NEW ONES ON THE WAITING LIST.
UM, SO ALL THE KIDS ARE NOW ENROLLED.
UM, WE'VE FINISHED UPDATING THE WEBSITE.
WE JUST STARTED PRIVATE EVENTS, UM, ALONG WITH, UM, UH, GROUP LESSONS FOR UP TO FOUR PEOPLE, UM, MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY FOR ANY OF THE JUNIOR GOLFERS THAT WANT TO SIGN UP.
WE JUST STARTED A PRICE SYSTEM.
I THINK WE'RE WAITING ON THE TOWELS FOR HANDICAP ACHIEVEMENTS.
SO AS YOU HIT CERTAIN LEVELS OF HANDICAP ACHIEVEMENTS, YOU'RE GONNA GET A DIFFERENT COLORED BALL MARKER, DIFFERENT COLORED TOWEL, UM, THINGS LIKE THAT SO THEY CAN BE KNOWN AROUND THE COURSE OF WHAT LEVEL THEY'RE IN AND, AND, UM, JUST GIVE 'EM SOMETHING MORE TO STRIVE FOR.
AND THEN END OF YEAR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON PRIZES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE'RE WAITING ON THE SIMULATOR APPROVAL AS WELL FROM CITY, FROM
[00:55:01]
THE CITY ATTORNEY TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THAT.BUT, UM, LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
UH, THE QR CODES, THE QUESTION CAME UP.
IF THE QR CODE SURVEY CAN BE ENCOMPASSED IN THE SURVEY YOU GET AFTER THE ROUND, THE ANSWER IS NO.
UM, THE QR CODES ARE SOMETHING THAT YOU, BECAUSE IF I PLAY GOLF, MY THREE PLAYING PARTNERS DON'T GET THE SURVEY.
BUT THE QR CODE GIVES EVERYBODY IN THE GROUP, NO MATTER WHEN THEY PLAY AN OPPORTUNITY TO FILL IT OUT.
WE ARE GETTING MONTHLY UPDATES ON THE SURVEYS THAT I GET AND THEY'RE VERY INTENSE.
WE GET A LOT OF RESPONSES BACK ON THOSE.
SO WE'RE GONNA KEEP THE QR CODES GOING.
I PROBABLY GENEROUSLY, I PROBABLY SAY I GET ONE EVERY TWO WEEKS.
UM, BUT WE GET A TON OF FEEDBACK ON THE QR CODES, SO I'LL SEE WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION I CAN SHARE FROM THOSE.
IF YOU WANT ME TO PRESENT SOMETHING TO THE COMMITTEE, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT.
IT'S A VERY INTENSE WORKSHEET ON EVERYTHING THAT THEY PUT TOGETHER, BUT IT'S REALLY GOOD.
UM, COURSE UPDATES, LIKE I SAID, I HAD EARLIER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FAIRWAYS AT SKY LINKS THAT I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE JUST NEED HEAT FOR THE BERMUDA.
UM, AND WATER WILL WILL GREEN THAT RIGHT UP.
UM, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK AT THE BUNKERS, AT SKY LINKS.
UM, WE'RE CONTINUING TO ADD BUNKER SAND AT THE BUNKERS AT EL DORADO.
SOME OF THOSE BUNKERS AGAIN THAT ARE ON THE PROJECT TO GET REDONE.
THERE'S NO MORE DRAINAGE AND, AND YOU'RE DOWN TO BARE BONES.
UM, SO WE ARE DEFINITELY WORKING ON THAT.
UM, HARTWELL, WE JUST REPAINTED ALL OF THE TEE BOX.
UM, HEADSTONES THE FRONT ENTRANCE.
UM, WE GOT A NEW TOP DRESSER FOR THE TEES OUT THERE, SO WE'RE GONNA TRY AND KEEP THOSE TEES AS IMMACULATE AS WE CAN, AS LONG AS WE CAN.
IF YOU DO PLAY OUT AT HEARTWELL WHERE WE'VE GOT A SYSTEM OF CLOSING ONE TO TWO TEE BOXES EVERY WEEK SO THAT IT DOESN'T GET OVERPLAYED, IT'S GOT TIME TO RE GERMINATE AND REGROW.
UM, AT REC PARK WE HAD, UM, SOME IRRIGATION ISSUES THAT WERE GOING ON OUT THERE.
UM, BUT, UH, NOTHING BUT GOOD THAT I'VE HEARD FROM REC PARK.
UM, EL DORADO, WE JUST HAD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP AND NOTHING BUT RAVING ASIDE FROM A FEW OF THE BUNKERS.
I THINK THE PUTTING GREEN BY THE TENT, UM, GOT HOT ON THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
UM, SO WE GOT A FEW BROWN SPOTS ON THAT ONE, BUT IT'S ALREADY STARTED TO GROW OUT AS OF THE LAST WEEKEND.
SO, UM, NOTHING, NOTHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT THERE.
UH, THE NEW RATES FOR GOLF WILL FULLY GO INTO EFFECT JULY 1ST.
THE CHANGES FOR THE PLAYERS CLUB CANNOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL JULY 16TH.
UH, WE SENT THE EMAIL OUT A FEW DAYS AGO.
UM, BUT IN THE, IN THE GUIDELINES FOR PLAYERS CLUB ACROSS THE COMPANY, A 45 DAY NOTICE, NOT A 35 30 DAY NOTICE MM-HMM
SO THAT'LL TAKE EFFECT JULY 15TH.
I THINK WE COULD START SELLING THE UPGRADES ON JULY 1ST BECAUSE THAT'S A NEW IMPLEMENTED PROGRAM.
SO IF YOU WANTED TO UPGRADE IT WON'T CHANGE YOUR RATE AT ALL, BUT, BUT 'CAUSE YOU'RE UPGRADING YOU CAN DO THAT.
SO WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH ALL THAT.
IT'S BEEN A VERY BUSY FIVE DAYS.
UM, AND I'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT TOO.
UM, WE DID NOTICE THERE WAS A LOT OF ISSUES IN THE COURSE RESTROOMS AT EL DORADO, SO THAT'S GOING TO GET A MAKEOVER HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS IF IT'S NOT ALREADY BEEN STARTED.
UM, SO HOPEFULLY THOSE WILL LOOK MUCH BETTER.
I KNOW WE REPLACED THE SINK, UM, AND I THINK ONE OF THE PARTITIONS IS GETTING IT REPLACED.
SO WE'RE GOING THROUGH AND FIXING ALL THOSE THINGS.
WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO GET PARTS AND A COMPANY TO FIX THE FOUNTAIN ON 16 AT SKY LINKS.
UM, AND THEY TRIED TO STEAL THE POWER AGAIN FROM THE FOUNTAIN ON 18.
UM, SO THE FIRST BILL I GOT WAS LIKE 6,000 TO REPLACE THE WIRE SHOOT.
UM, HOPEFULLY THEY'LL BE OUT TO DO THAT NEXT WEEK TO TRY AND GET THE, THE FOUNTAIN ON 18 FIXED.
AND WE GOT THE ONE ON NUMBER ONE FIXED.
UM, LET'S SEE, SMOKING, BAN BUNKERS, WATER FOUNTAIN, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT ADDED TODAY.
IS THERE ANY, ANY, UH, TALK ABOUT OPENING THIS SNACK SHACK ON EL DORADO? YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE, BY THE THIRD HOLE? SO WE'VE LOOKED AT IT SEVERAL TIMES.
THE MORE THINGS WE KEEP IN THERE, UM, I THINK IT WAS, IT WAS SUNDAY OF THE FINAL MATCH PLAY ROUND.
WE HAD TO HAVE THE PARAMEDIC COME OUT AND WAKE SOMEBODY UP WHO COULD NOT GET RESPONSIVE.
UM, BECAUSE THEY TRY AND BREAK IN THEIR SLEEP.
AND THE MORE STUFF WE HAVE IN THERE, THE MORE PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BREAK IN.
SO THERE'S STILL HEALTHY INVENTORY OF PEOPLE.
UM, THEY CAUGHT FIRE THREE TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS TO THE AREA BEHIND THE MAINTENANCE YARD.
UM, SO WE'VE GOT ONE MORE PERSON THAT'S STILL IN THERE THEN WE'RE REPLACING THE FENCE OVER THERE.
UM, SO WE'RE TRYING, WE'RE LOOKING AT PLANTING BULIA THROUGHOUT THERE, CLEANING EVERYTHING OUT AND PUTTING IN SPIKY STUFF.
UM, BUT THERE'S STILL, STILL QUITE AN ISSUE.
I HAVEN'T HEARD, I HAVEN'T HEARD OF
[01:00:01]
SEEN MUCH LATELY.THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT OF ASKING ABOUT THE SNACK CHECK.
THAT'S WHY THE BEVERAGE CARD'S OPERATIONAL THERE.
UM, SO AS OF THAT, THAT IS MY REPORT FOR AMERICA.
YOU SAY THE UPGRADE ON THE PLAYERS CLUB? IT'S WHAT I READ IN THE EMAIL WAS LIKE $50 FOR THE PLATINUM OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
54 AND 69 WOULD BE THE PLATINUM.
AND THAT'S FOR A LARGE BUCKET OF BALLS EVERY DAY.
IF YOU ARE, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HIT A LARGE BUCKET OF BALLS, THE MEMBERSHIP'S GOING UP A DOLLAR LIKE IT ALWAYS WOULD.
A DOLLAR, I THINK A DOLLAR 40.
UM, SO BASICALLY NONE OF THAT WILL CHANGE.
IT'S JUST IF YOU WANT TO UPGRADE TO A LARGE BUCKET OF BALLS STARTING JULY 1ST, WE HAVE THAT PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP AVAILABLE FOR RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS.
WHY DO THE RESIDENT, THE NON-RESIDENTS GET THE SAME RATE? THEY DON'T.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID THEY DID 54 AND 69.
AND THEN IT'S $15 CHEAPER FOR THE REGULAR OR THE MEDIUM BUCKET SILVER MEMBERSHIP.
GOTTA GET ALL LINGO DOWN WORKING ON
YOU SHOULD MAKE A CREDIT CARD COMMERCIAL CAPITAL ONE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? UH, JUST COMMENTS.
PLAYED ALL THE GOLF COURSES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF REC NINE RECENTLY, AND THEY'RE ALL JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BUSY AND THEY'RE IN GOOD SHAPE, AND YEAH.
SO, YOU KNOW, IN SPITE OF LACK OF RESOURCES, OLD EQUIPMENT, ALL THAT RIGHT.
UH, I WILL SAY HARTWELL ISS PROBABLY GONNA DO A HUNDRED THOUSAND ROUNDS THIS YEAR.
THAT WAS GONNA BE MY ONE QUESTION.
YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN THE ROUNDS AND UTILIZATION, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE STILL PRETTY MUCH AT A HUNDRED PERCENT OR VERY CLOSE TO IT.
WELL, HARWELL IS A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXCEPTION BECAUSE REC NINE COULD PROBABLY DO 85 TO 90,000 ROUNDS, BUT HARWELL HAS THE LIGHTS SO THEY CAN DO ROUNDS ALL THE WAY UP TILL EIGHT O'CLOCK AT NIGHT WHERE NOBODY ELSE CAN.
UM, UH, SO IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
LIKE I SAID, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GROUPS THAT GO OUT THERE AND PLAY LATE AFTERNOON AND, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE DOING GREAT.
LIKE I SAID, THE TEES REALLY HELPED.
UM, WE'VE GOT NEW UMBRELLAS, NEW FIRST TEE GREETING AREA.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S, THEY'RE DOING GOOD OVER THERE, SO THAT'S GOOD.
WITH THAT, WE HAD A MOTION FROM YOUNG SECOND FROM ANDERSON, AND I THINK WE'RE READY FOR THE VOTE.
WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX, RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A REPORT FROM CURRENT AD HOC COMMITTEES.
DISCUSS ANTICIPATED AD HOC COMMITTEES FOR UPCOMING PROJECTS, AND IF APPROPRIATE, TAKE ACTION TO DISSOLVE OR CREATE AD HOC COMMITTEES.
AND CAN I GET A MOTION TO OPEN THIS ITEM? MOTION? HAVE A, I HAVE A MOTION FROM CONKY AND SECOND FROM RICHIE.
AND WITH THAT, I THINK WE'RE READY FOR THE, THE UPDATE, I GUESS.
UH, YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF HAVE THIS ON HERE AS GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAD ANY COMMITTEE, ANY AD HOC COMMITTEES TO, UM, TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THAT I WAS AWARE OF.
UM, I ASKED YOU ABOUT THAT LAST MEETING AND YOU SAID THERE WASN'T ANYTHING.
THEY, YOU CLOSED OR THERE WAS ONE MEETING MM-HMM
AT MARCH THAT YOU, YOU CLOSED OR WOULD'VE DIS ALL YES.
DISSOLVED THANK FEES AND CHARGES THERE.
YEAH, SO IT'S JUST SORT OF OUR, OUR STANDING ITEM.
SO IF ANYONE HAD ANYTHING FOR AN AD HOC COMMITTEE, THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT NEEDS ONE.
BUT THE NEXT STEP NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THROUGH GREEN FEES AND PLAYERS CLUB, IT'D BE LOOKING AT FOOD AND BEVERAGE, BEVERAGE.
IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANNA DO BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING, THEN WE SHOULD PROBABLY CONVENE A GROUP.
I CAN, I CAN GET SOMETHING IN THE NEXT MONTH FOR SOMETHING FOR US TO LOOK AT.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE SHOULD, UM, FORM A FOOD AND BEVERAGE.
UM, FOOD AND BEVERAGE CHARGES AT OUR COMMITTEE FOR THE FOOD, FOOD AND BEVERAGE SEPARATE.
IT'S SEPARATE, UH, FOOD AND BEVERAGE, IT IS SEPARATE FOOD BEVERAGE THAT WE DID
[01:05:02]
LAST JULY.WE DID IT AT THE SAME TIME LAST YEAR, BUT IT WAS WITH ALL THE STUFF AT PLAYERS CLUB THIS YEAR.
SO OUR NEXT MEETING IS IN SEPTEMBER.
SOMETIME BETWEEN NOW AND THEN WE WOULD TRY TO HAVE A, UH, AN AD HOC COMMITTEE.
SO, UM, REMIND ME EXACTLY ON THE CORRECT PROCEDURE.
WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE TO CREATE THE AD HOC FEES AND CHARGES SUBCOMMITTEE.
FIRST WE NEED TO, I, WE WOULD WANT TO IDENTIFY OUR MEMBERS OF THAT COMMITTEE AND THEN WE WOULD, UM, AMEND THE MOTION SLIGHTLY.
SO I GUESS FIRST, DO WE, DO WE NEED AN OFFICIAL VOTE? WHETHER THE COMMITTEE THINKS IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO CREATE THE, IT'S ALL ONE VOTE.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S INTEREST IN OUR CREATING AN AD HOC FEES AND CHARGES COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE PRICING.
AND WITH THAT, I GUESS, DO WE, DO WE ASK FOR VOLUNTEERS TO PARTICIPATE? AND I GUESS ONE THING WE MENTIONED LAST TIME IS IF YOU'VE BEEN ON MAYBE THE LAST COUPLE, THEN IT'S GOOD TO HAVE SOME CHURN IN MEMBERS, SO MM-HMM
UM, IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, I BELIEVE WE CAN HAVE FOUR MEMBERS, UH, ON THE AD HOC COMMITTEE.
ANY VOLUNTEERS, VOLUNTEER ANDERSON? I'M ALWAYS AVAILABLE.
JUST, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT ME ON THIS ONE, BUT I'M ALWAYS AVAILABLE.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST VOLUNTEERED TO ME,
I WAS ON THE OTHER ONE, BUT YEAH.
SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE THREE, AND I GUESS WE CAN LEAVE IT OPEN FOR ANOTHER MEMBER OR THOSE WHO AREN'T HERE TODAY, WE COULD ASK THEM.
I'LL, I'LL VOLUNTEER IF YOU NEED ME.
WE'VE GOT ANDERSON, MIL, FITZGERALD CONING.
SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? UH, QUESTION WE, WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE TO RESTATE THE MOTION.
IS FOOD AND BEVERAGE INCREASES, FEE INCREASES OR, OR FOOD INCREASES? WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY.
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE USE FEES AND OTHER FEES.
IT WOULD BE MORE BASED ON FAIR MAKE, FAIR MARKET VALUE.
WITH THE SURROUNDING RESTAURANTS STUFF, CHARGING FAIR ENOUGH.
OKAY, SO WE HAD A, UM, A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
UM, NOW WE WOULD WANT TO RESTATE THE MOTION TO CREATE AN AD HOC FEES AND CHARGES SUBCOMMITTEE TO REVIEW FOOD AND BEVERAGE AND PRICING FOR 2027 OR WHATEVER.
SO WE HAD A, A MOTION FROM CONING SECOND FROM RICHIE, UM, ON THE INITIAL MOTION.
OR DO THEY JUST ACCEPT THE YEAH, YOU CAN ACCEPT THE FRIENDLY MM-HMM
ACCEPT THE FRIENDLY CHANGE TO THE LANGUAGE.
SO THAT'S THE MOTION ON FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
AND WITH NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I THINK WE'RE READY FOR THE VOTE.
SO THAT COMMITTEE WILL MEET PRIOR TO THE NEXT FULL MEETING.
WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR ELECTION.
AND, UM, I'LL JUST START BY THANKING THE COMMITTEE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AS CHAIR FOR TWO YEARS.
