UH, BUT IT IS AN ACTION ITEM THAT WE NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND TO BEGIN, UH, DISCUSSION OF A MOTION BY MEMBER AMY, SECONDED BY VICE CHAIR HOWARD. UH, WE'LL DEFER TO STAFF TO START. UH, THANK YOU, CHAIR. YEAH, WE HAVE A BRIEF STAFF UPDATE [2. 26-56494 Recommendation to receive and file an update on the FY 27 Measure A plan approved by City Council as part of the FY 27 Adopted Budget.        Suggested Action: Approve recommendation. ] JUST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE FY27, UH, MEASURE A PLAN ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. AND JUST A REMINDER, THE FY27 PROPOSED MEASURE A PLAN WAS BROUGHT TO THE TRANSACTION AND USE TAXES AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW ON AUGUST 13TH, 2026 MEETING. SINCE THEN, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE BUDGET ON SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2026, AND HAD ONE APPROVED CHANGE TO THE MEASURE A PLAN, WHICH IS PART OF MOTION B20 OF THE CITY COUNCIL'S MOTIONS CHANGES TO THE ADOPTED BUDGET. THE MOTION WAS TO ADD 120,000 OF GENERAL FUND DOLLARS FOR THE, UH, ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY REFUSE AND RECYCLING HUB F- FEASIBILITY STUDY, ALONG WITH $30 FOR ONE, $30,000 FOR ONE-TIME FUNDING FOR THE GENERAL FUND IN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO SUPPORT THE INITIAL REGULATION, UH, ENVIRONMENTAL AND STAKEHOLDER COORDINATIONS RELATED TO EXPLORING THE MITIGATION BANK IN LONG BEACH. THIS IS A POSSIBLE FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT QUALIFIED UNDER THE CITY'S MEASURE A ELIGIBILITY USE. AND THE WAY THIS WAS FUNDED, JUST TO EXPLAIN THE FY26 CRITICAL NEEDS, THERE ARE CRITICAL NEEDS SET ASIDE IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR FY26, WHICH WE ARE CLOSING. THIS IS JUST RESERVING THOSE, BRINGING IT OVER TO FY27 TO FUND THE 150,000 IN THAT FISCAL YEAR. WITH THAT, THE PAGE RIGHT HERE, THE T - SLIDE RIGHT HERE JUST SHOWS A SUMMARY OF HOW THE MEASURE A USES ARE ALLOCATED OVER MAJOR TOPICS WITH THIS NEW ITEM. AND WITH THAT, THAT'S THE QUICK AND BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CHANGE FROM THE ADOPTED BUDGET. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION, UH, OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMISSION MEMBERS TO ASK QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE PRESENTATION? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE'LL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.

MOVING TO AGENDA ITEM THREE, THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A PRESENTATION ON STAFF IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR TRANSACTION AND USE TAX CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS AT THE MEETING HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 13TH, 2026. UH, THIS IS, UH, ACTIONING A MOTION AND A SECOND. MOTION BY VICE CHAIR HOWARD, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER AMY. AND WE CAN GO TO THE PRESENTATION ON THE [3. 26-56495 Recommendation to receive and file a presentation on the staff implementation plan for the Transactions and Use Tax Citizens’ Advisory Committee recommendations provided at the meeting held on Thursday, August 13, 2026.       Suggested Action: Approve recommendation. ] MAIN SCREEN. THANK YOU, CHAIR. UH, JUST ALSO A BRIEF STAFF, UH, PRESENTATION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FROM THE AUGUST, UH, COMMITTEE LETTER RECOMMENDATIONS. SO JUST AS A FRIENDLY REMINDER, THE TUTC RECOMMENDATIONS WERE TRANSPOSED TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON AUGUST 24TH VIA MEMO. SO ONCE YOU, UH, PROVIDE THE RECOMMENDATIONS DURING A FORMAL CAC MEETING, WE GO THROUGH THE WORKFLOW AND SEND IT TO THE CITY MANAGER WHO THEN TRANSPOSED IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO LINKED ALSO HERE AND ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA IS THE LETTER ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL RECEIVED. SO THIS IS JUST A COPY OF THAT. ONCE WE RECEIVED THIS, WE STARTED DOING STAFF INTERNAL MEETINGS AND ALSO MET WITH THE CHAIR TO DISCUSS THE OP- OPPORTUNITY TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OUTLINED IN THE LETTER. SO OF THE FIVE RECOMMENDATIONS, WE'LL START WITH THE FIRST ONE, INCREASED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SO THE LETTER RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY SHOULD EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS TO LEARN ABOUT AND COMMENT ON MEASURE A SPENDING BEFORE ANNUAL FUNDING DECISIONS ARE FINALIZED AND ENGAGEMENT, ENGAGEMENT SHOULD INCLUDE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY HAD LIMITED ACCESS TO THE CITY'S BUDGET PROCESSES. SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR IMPLEMENTATION IS FIRST THAT THE CUC WEBSITE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE UPDATED. I KNOW, UM, WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT BEING A LITTLE BIT HARD TO FIND AND GET TO AND THAT SOME OF THE INFORMATION IS OUTDATED. SO AT A VERY MINIMUM, OUR CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE WEBSITE IS UPDATED, UH, AND THAT IS ALSO THE LINK TO THAT THERE. AND WE WILL INCORPORATE A DEDICATED MEASURE A SLIDE TO THE CITY'S ANNUAL COMMUNITY BUDGET MEETINGS THAT OCCUR IN OUR WINTER ENGAGEMENT IN JANUARY AND IN AUGUST. SO THAT WAY WE'RE ABLE TO, UM, INCLUDE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE, UM, ARE A PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS. SO AGAIN, WE GO OUT TO SIX COMMUNITIES IN JANUARY AND FIVE MORE IN AUGUST IN DIFFERING DISTRICTS, AND WE WILL INCORPORATE A DEDICATED MEASURE A SLIDE, SO THAT WAY WE'RE GETTING THE WORD OUT EVEN MORE DURING OUR BUDGET PROCESS. SO THAT'S STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR RECOMMENDATION ONE. FOR RECOMMENDATION TWO, UH, THE REQUEST WAS TO HOST AN ANNUAL MEASURE A TOWN HALL. SO FROM THE LETTER, THE CITY SHOULD HOLD AT LEAST ONE PUBLIC TOWN HALL EACH YEAR WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, PUBLIC WORKS, POLICE, AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. AND THE PRESENTATION SHOULD IDENTIFY REVENUES RECEIVED, EXPENDITURES INCURRED, PROJECT STATUS, STAFFING SUPPORTED, MEASURABLE OUTCOMES, DELAYS, COST CHANGES, AND PLANNED INVESTMENTS. AND SO WE DISCUSSED THE FEASIBILITY OF DOING THAT. WE WANTED TO EXPLORE HOLDING ONE EXISTING COMMITTEE MEETING THAT WE HAVE HERE OFFSITE TO A POTENTIAL MEASURE A FACILITY, UH, TO DISCUSS THESE TOPICS. UH, IT COULD BE EITHER AT AN UNRECORDED TOWN HALL OR WE CAN KIND OF TALK THROUGH THE LOGISTICS WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION DEPARTMENT AND CITY CLERK ON THE BROADCASTING FEASIBILITY AND RECORDING OF AN OFFSITE MEETING. SO WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH, THROUGH SOME OF THOSE FEASIBILITY LOGISTICS, UM, BUT RECOMMENDING THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY UTILIZE ONE OF OUR EXISTING CAC MEETINGS TO GO OFFSITE AND KIND OF HAVE IT MORE IN A TOWN HALL FORMAT. WE ALSO ARE RECOMMENDING TO PARTNER WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND COUNCIL DISTRICT OFFICES TO DISTRIBUTE MEETING FLYERS. SO IN OUR AGENDA ITEM FOUR, WE ARE PROPOSING A SCHEDULE FOR NEXT YEAR. SO IF WE CAN GET THAT FINALIZED TODAY, WE CAN KIND OF CREATE A FLYER AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR COUNCIL DISTRICTS ARE GETTING THOSE OUT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND JUST GETTING THE WORD OUT MORE ABOUT, UM, THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH THE CAC. SO THAT'S STAFF'S IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR RECOMMENDATION TWO. IN RECOMMENDATION THREE, THERE WAS AN ANNUAL INDEPENDENT AUDIT FOR THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION. AGAIN, FROM THE LETTER, MEASURE A'S ANNUAL AUDIT SHOULD BE FORMALLY PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED AT A PUBLIC COMMITTEE MEETING, NOT MERELY POSTED ONLINE. COMMISSIONERS SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO QUESTION THE AUDITORS AND CITY STAFF ABOUT FINDINGS, INTERNAL CONTROLS, DEPARTMENTAL ALLOCATIONS, BOND PROCEEDS, INTEREST EARNINGS, DEBT SERVICE, AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. UM, THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT PREPARES THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT AND IS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPROPRIATE RULES AND GUIDELINES AND AUDITED BY CROW LLP, A FIRM OF LICENSED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS. AND THE GOAL OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDIT IS TO PROVIDE REASONABLE ASSURANCE THAT THE CITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE FREE OF MATERIAL MISSTATEMENT. AND SO I ALSO LINKED IN THIS SLIDE FISCAL YEAR 25, [00:15:01] UM, ACCOUNT ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT. SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO PREPARE A BRIEF PRESENTATION AND A ONE-PAGE EXCERPT DRAWN FROM THE ACFIR ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA ITEM AT A TUTCAC MEETING IN THE FUTURE. WE WOULD ALSO HAVE THE AUDITORS AVAILABLE BY PHONE FOR QUESTIONS FOR THIS SPECIFIC ITEM. UM, I WANTED TO JUST NOTE THAT A SEPARATE MEASURE A AUDIT SCOPE, IF THIS INDEPENDENT FIRM WAS TO, TO PROVIDE THAT SPECIFICALLY FOR MEASURE A, WOULD HAVE AN ADDITIONAL COST. I ACTUALLY GOT UPDATED NUMBERS AT 70 TO 75,000, UM, BUT JUST WILL COST ADDITIONAL TO OUR SCOPE THAT IS EX - IN EXISTENCE FOR THE ACFIR. SO THAT'S OUR STAFF IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATION THREE. FOR RECOMMENDATION FOUR, THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR THREE-YEAR SPENDING RECONCILIATION REVIEW SO THAT THE FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET SHOULD INCLUDE A CONSOLIDATED MEASURE A REPORT THAT SEPARATELY IDENTIFIES FUNDING BY DEPARTMENT AND BY FUNDING SOURCES AND KIND OF LISTED SOME CRITERIA, AND IT WOULD HELP VERIFY THAT THE FIGURES REPORTED BY PUBLIC WORKS, POLICE, FIRE, AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ARE CONSISTENT AND TRACEABLE TO THE CITY'S AUDITED FINANCIAL RECORDS. AND SO AFTER REVIEWING THOSE FIELDS THAT WERE BEING REQUESTED, GOOD NEWS, THE INFORMATION IS, THAT IS REQUESTED ALREADY EXISTS. IT'S JUST CURRENTLY PUBLISHED IN DIFFERENT PLACES AND WE PRESENT IT TO YOU KIND OF NOT COMPILED IN THAT WAY. SO STAFF WILL CONSOLIDATE THIS INTO ONE DOCUMENT AND KEEP IT IN ONE PLACE, EASY TO SHARE WITH A THREE-YEAR LOOK BACK AND PRESENT AT A FUTURE MEETING. LAST RECOMMENDATION FIVE, PUBLISH AN INVENTORY AND CONDITION ASSESSMENT OF CITY-OWNED BUILDINGS. SO FROM THE COMMITTEE'S LETTER, THE CITY SHOULD MAINTAIN A COMPREHENSIVE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE INVENTORY OF ALL CITY-OWNED FACILITIES DETAILING THEIR CONDITION, REPAIR NEEDS, ESTIMATED COSTS, ACCESSIBILITY OF DEFICIENCIES, AND INVESTMENT PRIORITIES. THIS ASSESSMENT DATA WOULD PROVIDE AN OBJECTIVE BASIS FOR DETERMINING WHICH FACILITIES RECEIVE MEASURE A INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING. SO STAFF'S IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE CURRENTLY UTILIZE A FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT DASHBOARD AND AN INTERNAL STA- STAFF PLANNING TOOL. AND THERE ARE MANY FACTORS THAT GO INTO PROJECT PRIORITIZATION AND UTILIZING THE FCA AS ONE COMPONENT. THIS IS, AGAIN, AN INTERNAL TOOL. SO IF WE WERE TO CREATE A PUBLIC VERSION OF THIS DASHBOARD, IT WOULD REQUIRE CITY MANAGER DIRECTION AND WOULD COST AN ADDITIONAL 10 TO $15,000. UM, IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT, UH, THE SCOPE OF THE COMMITTEE IS NOT NECESSARILY TO REVIEW THE LIST OF FACILITIES AND DETERMINE WHICH ONE SHOULD RECEIVE MEASURE A FUNDING, BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SPENDING IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BYLAWS. AND SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS, IS THAT STAFF WILL COME TO A FUTURE TUTCAC MEETING WITH A PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED FCA PRESENTATION AND PROVIDE A REFRESH FOR THE COMMITTEE ON HOW PROJECTS ARE PRIORITIZED. AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION AND WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. UM, VERY DETAILED AND APPRECIATE THE SECTION BY SECTION OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. UH, THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR, UH, COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO ASK COMMENTS, FEEDBACK, UH, ANY, ANY INITIAL THOUGHTS OF THE PR - THE RECOMMENDATIONS? GO TO VICE CHAIR HOWARD. YES. THANK YOU FOR THE, THE DETAILED RESPONSE. AND, UM, IT'S VERY ENCOURAGING THAT, UM, MOST OF THE ITEMS ARE EASILY ADDRESSED. UM, AND I BELIEVE AT SOME PAST TIME I DID RESEARCH OTHER CITIES AND THEIR, THE AVAILABILITY OF THEIR, OF PUBLIC INFORMATION ON THEIR, THEIR REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS. AND IT WAS NOT PUBLICLY, IT WAS NOT PUBLISHED ON SEVERAL, ON ANY CITY'S WEBSITES THAT I COULD FIND. SO, UM, MAYBE THAT IS A COMMON PRACTICE THAT IT'S JUST NOT, UM, PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. UH, I'LL JUST GIVE SOME FEEDBACK AND, UM, APPRECIATE IT. I THINK THESE ARE, ARE SOUND RECOMMENDATIONS AND I'M GLAD OUR LETTER WENT FORWARD TO THE CITY MANAGER AND ONTO THE CITY COUNCIL, WAS INCLUDED IN THE PROCESS. AND WE NOW HAVE THIS FEEDBACK FROM, UH, THE COMMITTEE'S WORK, UH, EARLIER IN THE YEAR. UM, IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE WEBSITES UPDATED. I THINK IT'S ALWAYS, UH, WHEN PEOPLE GOOGLE OUR SEARCH OR CHATGPT SEARCH OR HOWEVER THEY DO IT NOW, THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST ITEMS THAT, THAT COMES UP. SO IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT'S, UM, UP TO DATE. I THINK THE INTEGRATION INTO AN EXISTING EVENT, TOWN HALLS, YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE'S GONNA COME FOR A MEETING AND WE'RE THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OR 30 MINUTES, UH, I, I THINK IT HELPS SAVE RESOURCES AND, AND CAPTURE A, A INTERESTED AUDIENCE, UM, IN WHAT WE DO. UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE, YOU KNOW, CAME WITH THE IDEA OF GOING TO DIFFERENT PLACES, UM, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THAT'S... I, FOR ME, STATION NINE IS THE NEWEST MEASURE A FACILITY, UM, [00:20:01] BUT MAYBE IN THE, AS WE GO FORWARD, WHAT ARE SOME OPTIONS OF WHICH ONES ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT WE CAN THINK ABOUT BEING EQUITABLE AND WHERE WE PUT IT OR WHERE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THIS YEAR WE'RE ONE PLACE AND NEXT YEAR WE RECOMMEND ANOTHER PLACE. UM, SO KIND OF GIVE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY OPPORTUNITIES TO - HIGHLIGHTS, UH-HUH, YEAH, TO PARTICIPATE. UM, AND THAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE AUDIT INFORMATION THAT WE CAN HAVE A PRESENTATION. THAT WAS ONE OF THE, UH, UH, EARLIER DISCUSSIONS ON YOU LOOK AT EDUCATION OVERSIGHT, UH, COMMITTEES OR COMMISSIONS, THEY HAVE, UH, INDEPENDENT AUDITS PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC THERE. AND I, I THINK THAT WAS A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS COMMITTEE OF OVERSEEING, YOU KNOW, TAX REVENUE. I MEAN, USUALLY FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES, BOND MEASURES. AND WE DO HAVE BOND, UH, FUNDING THAT COME THROUGH HERE. SO I THINK IT'S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THAT THE FUNDS ARE AUDITED ALREADY, THAT WE DON'T NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY, BUT WE DO HAVE IT. AND, YOU KNOW, IF THE COUNCIL OR THE MAYOR WANTS TO SPEND MORE MONEY FOR MORE AUDITING, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S THEIR, THEIR CHOICE. UM, AND GREAT, I THINK, ON THE RECONCILIATION LOOK BACK, UH, THAT WE CAN INCLUDE. I GUESS ONE QUESTION IS, WHAT'S THE RIGHT TIMING IN OUR SEQUENCE OF MEETINGS IF THAT INFORMATION COULD BE SHARED? UM, THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION, AND I REALIZE THAT WE MAY HAVE NOT INCLUDED THAT IN ITEM FOUR, WHICH IS THE 2027 MEETINGS AND SCHEDULED TOPICS, BUT I THINK PENDING WHAT FISCAL YEAR WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, WE WILL REVIEW FISCAL YEAR 26 MEASURE A PERFORMANCE IN OUR NEXT MEETING IN KIND OF THE FIRST QUARTER IN MARCH. SO THAT COULD BE AN APPROPRIATE TIME IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PAST. UM, IF YOU WANTED ANYTHING ABOUT THE FUTURE, REVIEWING THE ADOPTED BUDGET KIND OF IN THIS TIMEFRAME WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT KIND OF THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. YEAH, THAT SOUNDS REASONABLE TO HAVE AT THE NEXT MEETING AND THEN GOING FORWARD, SINCE IT'S A NEW ITEM, WE JUST ROLL IT INTO THE BUDGET, UM, EVERY YEAR, AND THAT WAY IT'S, FOLKS CAN SEE IT OR, YOU KNOW, WE, IT'S ALL THE NUMBERS ALL IN ONE PLACE IN ONE, ONE, ONE AGENDA ITEM. UH, AND THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK ON THE INVENTORY. UH, VICE CHAIR HOWARD, I WILL, I USED TO WORK FOR CITY OF LA AND WORKED WITH THE FORMER CONTROLLER, RON GALPERIN, TO DO, UM, REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT FOR ALL OF LOS ANGELES CITY. AND IT WAS A WHOLE AUDIT PROJECT THAT TOOK TWO YEARS AND WAS A GIS WEBSITE. I THINK IT'S STILL UP, UH, OF ALL THE PROPERTIES THE CITY OF LA OWNS, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE SCORING OF STATUS. BUT IT DID HAVE, LIKE, AGE, IT WAS FROM 1970, IT WAS A 2000. IT HAD SOME, UM, ATTRIBUTE DATA ON IT, BUT IT WAS A VERY, IT WAS A, AN EXTRA EFFORT BY THEN CONTROLLER. MAYBE SOMETHING WE CAN TALK TO, UM, UH, CITY... IS LAURA DOWD THE CONTROLLER? CITY CONTROLLER DOWD, THE, MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING SHE'S INTERESTED IN DOING, UH, SEPARATELY FROM THE COMMITTEE. BUT I, I DON'T KNOW, FEEDBACK. LIKE, YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING, REBECCA? UM, OUR CITY AUDITOR IS LAURA DOWD, AND SHE, THEY ACTUALLY RECENTLY DID AN AUDIT ON OUR MEASURE A, THAT WAS A REALLY GREAT REPORT LAST YEAR OR A YEAR AGO. I DON'T KNOW HER INTENTION TO DO, LIKE, A FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT AUDIT, BUT, UM, MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE BROUGHT UP TO HER. YEAH, WHEN I, I LOOKED AT THAT, I, I WAS LOOKING AT CITIES THAT WERE CLOSER IN SIZE TO LONG BEACH. I DID NOT LOOK AT LOS ANGELES, BUT IT WAS, SEEMED PRETTY, UM, UNIVERSAL ACROSS THE BOARD THAT MOST CITIES DIDN'T EVEN REVEAL HOW MANY PROPERTIES THEY HAD IN OWNERSHIP. IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS PRETTY CLOSELY HELD INFORMATION. AND MAYBE WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THAT KIND OF INFORMATION AND, AND I, I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S, KEVIN, IF THERE'S SOME PROPRIETARY, YOU KNOW, REASONS TO, TO NOT REVEAL THAT INFORMATION PUBLICLY. UM, LONG BEACH REVEALS THE NUMBER OF, UM, CITY BUILDINGS, BUT IT DOES NOT GET INTO, AS YOU DISCOVERED WITH THE OTHER CITIES, IT DOESN'T GET INTO THE CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND THE, UM, VULNERABILITIES AND DISREPAIR THAT DOESN'T GET PUBLISHED. YEAH. I, I, I DO SUPPOSE IT WOULD BE PUBLIC RECORD IF A PUBLIC RECORD REQUEST WAS SENT. SOMEBODY COULD GET ALL THE APN PARCEL NUMBERS THAT ARE PROPERTIES OF THE, OF THE, OF THE CITY. UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH, IT'S EXTRA EFFORT, I THINK, OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO, BUT GREAT INFORMATION TO BE PUBLIC ACCESSIBLE IF, IF ANYBODY WANTS TO TAKE IT UP AS A PROJECT AND IS LISTENING TO THIS MEETING - AND THEIR EXTRA TIME. AND THEY [00:25:01] HAVE TIME AND EXTRA BUDGET, UM, BUT IT'S A GREAT, UH, MA - AND MAYBE WE CAN, UH, WRITE A LETTER TO AUDITOR DOWN AND SAY, "HEY, WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER THIS." OH, ONE QUESTION. THE FORMER AUDIT THAT WAS DONE, IS THAT ON OUR WEBPAGE NOW? I DON'T THINK IT'S SPECIFICALLY ON OUR WEBSITE, BUT I'M SURE WE CAN ADD A LINK TO THE AUDITOR'S WEBSITE WHERE IT IS HOUSED. THAT'D BE GREAT. YEAH. THE RE- REDIRECT THE RESOURCES AND LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT'S AVAILABLE. UM, GREAT. ANY OTHER FEEDBACK OR COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU, STAFF. UH, WE'LL GO NOW TO OUR VOTE. OH, NO, NO, PUBLIC COMMENT. AN- ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? SEEING HEARING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT, AND WE'LL GO NOW TO THE VOTE. MEMBER AMY? YES. ALL RIGHT. YES, RECEIVED. ALL RIGHT. YES. RECEIVED. THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. THE, UH, ITEM, THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ADOPTED. THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK AND PRESENTATION. MOVING TO AGENDA ITEM FOUR, THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION TO REVIEW AND APPROVE PROPOSED 2027 COMMITTEE MEETINGS, DATES AND TOPICS AS PRESENTED. UH, THIS IS ALSO AN ACTION ITEM. WE'LL NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ADVANCE. I HAVE A MOTION BY, UH, VICE CHAIR HOWARD. UH, COMMISSIONER EMMY HAS SECONDED. AND WE CAN DISCUSS, UH, THE AGENDA. THERE IS A [4. 26-56496 Recommendation to review and approve proposed 2027 Committee meeting dates and topics.        Suggested Action: Approve recommendation. ] HANDOUT, AND I THINK IT'S AVAILABLE, UM, ON THE SCREEN AS WELL OF PROPOSED DATES FOR 2027 FOR NEXT YEAR. UM, AND, UH, THERE'S THREE OF THEM. THERE'S A MARCH, AUGUST, AND NOVEMBER. UH, THERE'S DETAILS THERE. MAYBE WE CAN ASK STAFF IF YOU WANNA GIVE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT. THANK YOU, CHAIR. I CAN DO A QUICK OVERVIEW. UM, YES, SO IT IS THAT LAST PAGE IN THE PACKET. UH, THE PROPOSED DATES ARE THREE, KIND OF IN A QUARTER, UH, UH, MARCH, AUGUST, AND NOVEMBER TIMEFRAME. THE BOLDED ITEMS IN THE COMMITTEE TOPICS ARE REQUIRED AS A PART OF BYLAW DUTIES. AND THEN THE BLUE TEXT IN THAT COMMITTEE COLUMN IS WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT PER COMMITTEE RE- RECOMMENDATIONS. SO WE'LL BE RECOMMENDING TO INCLUDE THAT FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW PRESENTATION IN THE MARCH PRESENTATION, IN THE MARCH DATE, AND THEN THE AUDITOR OVERVIEW OF THE ACFR FOR MEASURE A, ALSO PER THE CAC RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE AUGUST DATE. THIS ALSO DOES ALIGN WITH OUR BUDGET PROCESS, WHICH I KNOW IS IMPORTANT IN DRAFTING A COMMITTEE LETTER IF THAT IS, UM, SO CHOSEN TO DO NEXT YEAR AS WELL. A FEW JUST NOTES ABOUT THE... SO THAT'S OBVIOUSLY THE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE FRAME IS THAT LAST COLUMN ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE. JUST WANTED TO MAKE A NOTE ON THE DATES. WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THAT MARCH DATE BE THAT OFFSITE FACILITY MEETING, AGAIN, PENDING CLERK AND TECHNOLOGY STREAMING ABILITY IF WE WERE TO, TO KIND OF MAKE THAT A TOWN HALL STYLE MEETING. SO STILL A TBD. I, I HEARD THE FIRE STATION NINE RECOMMENDATION. ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION THAT I HEARD FROM OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WAS THAT, UH... LET ME PULL IT UP REALLY QUICK. EOC. DRAKE PARK COMMUNITY CENTER JUST OPENED, SO THAT COULD BE INTERESTING, AND THAT THE PD ACADEMY IS ANOTHER BIG PROJECT. SO JUST A FEW OTHER THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER. I ALSO WANTED TO MAKE A NOTE THAT THE THURSDAY AND... WELL, THEY'RE ALL THURSDAYS. THE AUGUST 5TH AND NOVEMBER 4TH MEETINGS ARE BUMPED UP TO THE ONE O'CLOCK TIMEFRAME COMPARED TO OUR NORMAL 3:00 PM START TIME, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE FOR THE COMMITTEE, BECAUSE THE PLANNING COMMISSION ALREADY BOOKED THE CHAMBERS NEXT YEAR. SO THEY'RE AHEAD OF THE GAME. NEXT YEAR WE'LL GET IN FASTER THAN THEM, BUT WE MISSED, MISSED IT AND THEY, THEY TOOK THAT 3:00 SLOT. SO SHIFTING US EARLIER IF WE LOVE THE THURSDAY DATE OR WE CAN TALK ABOUT OTHER DATES LIVE HERE AND MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS. AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. SHOULD WE SEND OUR COMPLAINT TO CHRIS KUNTZ ABOUT THE PLANNING COMMITTEE STEPPING ON OUR TOES? OKAY. UH, AND THANK YOU. WE, WE DID GET A CHANCE, UM, OR, YOU KNOW, CONSIDER THE NEW TIMING AND WANTED TO REALLY ASK THE, THE COMMISSIONERS, DOES THAT WORK IN YOUR SCHEDULES, UH, IN THE FUTURE HAVING A TWO HOURS EARLIER VERSUS THE REGULAR THREE O'CLOCK? HOW'S THAT? WORKS FOR ME. IS IT OKAY? OKAY. I KNOW I CAN SCHEDULE, I'LL MAKE IT... I'LL FIND A TIME IN MY SCHEDULE TO READJUST AROUND IT, SO. GOOD TO KNOW. GOOD TO NOTE. YEAH. AND THEN WE'LL... AND THEN WITH THE INTENTION OF NEXT YEAR TRYING TO GO BACK TO THREE O'CLOCK OR, UM, 2028? MAYBE I CAN BOOK IT OUT TODAY FOR 2020, CALENDAR YEAR 2028. I'LL TALK TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE. YES, WE'LL GET AHEAD OF IT. OKAY. [00:30:01] UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TOPICAL, UM, BUT FOR THINKING ABOUT MEETINGS AND DATES AND PROCESS FOR MEETINGS, UM, WOULD IT BE MORE EFFICIENT TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING ONE TIME VERSUS EVERY ITEM WE FORGET? I, I'LL, I'LL DEFER TO OUR ATTORNEY TO EXPLAIN. YES, WE WOULD NEED TO, UM, CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT FOR EVERY AGENDIZED ITEM. THE CHANGES THAT ARE COMING THROUGH CITY COUNCIL DO NOT APPLY TO COMMISSIONS OR PUBLIC HEARINGS. IS THERE A STATUTORY REASON WHY? IT'S JUST HOW OUR STANDARD PROCESS IS. I DON'T HAVE, LIKE, THE STATUTE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I KNOW THAT, UM, OUR STANDARD PROCESS IS TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR EACH AGENDIZED ITEM, AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AUTHORITY, THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN LOOK INTO. OKAY, THAT'D BE GREAT TO HELP STREAMLINE A LITTLE BIT. WE DO IT AT THE COLLEGE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES IT, AND THEY'RE ALL BOTH BROWN ACT, UM, REGULATED ENTITIES, SO... SOMEBODY CONSIDER. IT'S NOT LIKE IT TAKES IT. IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT UNDER LAW, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALWAYS JUST... PAST PRACTICE IS ALWAYS GOOD TO REVISIT AND SEE WHAT'S, UH, POSSIBLE. CERTAINLY, THANK YOU. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WELL, SO THESE DATES WORK FOR EVERYBODY AND, AND APPRECIATE INCORPORATING OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INTO THE FUTURE PROCESS. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON, UM, DATES FOR 2027 COMMITTEE MEETINGS? NOPE. ALL RIGHT. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR? SEEING HEARING NONE, WE'LL GO TAKE A VOTE. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. THE, UH, CALENDAR'S ADOPTED FOR NEXT YEAR WITH THE NEW TIMES, AND SO PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS ACCORDINGLY. UM, I BELIEVE THIS BRINGS US TO THE END OF OUR AGENDA. UM, WE DON'T NEED A, WE DON'T NEED TO DO A MOTION TO ADJOURN. WE JUST SAY WE'RE ADJOURNING AT 3:28. UH, CHAIR? YES. WE HAVE ONE MORE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WOULD BE NON-AGENDA PUBLIC COMMENT. OH MY GOODNESS. WHERE IS EVERYBODY? ALL RIGHT. LINING UP. WE GOTTA PUT IT AS AGENDA ITEM FIVE, OTHERWISE IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A TEXT AT THE BOTTOM. ALL RIGHT. UH, THE LAST AGENDA ITEM IS PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK, UH, THREE MINUTES TO MAKE COMMENTS, UM, UH, UN- [PUBLIC COMMENT Opportunity to address the Transactions and Use Tax Citizens' Advisory Committee on non-agenda items. Each speaker is limited to three minutes to make their comments unless extended by the Chair.] UNRELATED TO OUR CURRENT AGENDA TODAY. IS ANYBODY HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT?
