Description
9-17-19 City Of Inglewood Council Meeting
A
D
D
D
D
D
We
use
economic
economic
indicators
to
gauge
how
we're
doing
the
indicators
that
were
most
concerned
with
our
property
values,
trade
area,
growth,
employment
and
household
income
and
numbers
of
family-oriented
activities
and
organizations
and
education
opportunities
here
in
Englewood
now
moving
forward.
There
are
a
couple
of
things
that
we'd
like
to
consider:
first,
that
we
have
become
a
visitor
destination
with
national
and
and
really
international
exposure.
We
have
high
quality
infrastructure,
quality,
housing
stock,
a
diverse
business
mix,
and
we
are
a
arts
and
culture
hub.
D
In
my
department,
economic
develop
economic
and
Community
Development,
we
see
economic
development
as
a
team
effort,
including
planning
building
safety
code
enforcement
and
economic
development
all
led
by
our
director
Chris
Jackson.
Together,
we
implemented
a
business
attraction
strategy,
business
assistance,
economic
information,
disbursement,
business
policy,
development
and
access
maximization.
D
First,
I'll
just
go
over
our
business
attraction
strategy.
The
number
one
strategy
to
attract
businesses
right
now
is
to
promote
their
opportunity
to
do
business
with
the
visitors
that
converge
here
in
Englewood
we're
promoting
our
adjacency
to
transit,
we're
promoting
the
growth
in
retail
sales
that
we're
experiencing
here
we're
promoting
the
growth
in
household
income
and
we're
promoting
the
overall
diversity
in
our
business
mix.
D
D
Another
important
strategy
of
ours
is
economic
information.
We
published
bilingual
economic
development
information
via
social
media
business
events
and
at
large
two
stakeholders
that
are
interested
in
what's
going
on
in
the
Inglewood
economy.
Some
of
our
publications
are
economic
indicators,
major
projects,
update
of
development
projects,
policy,
information
and
other
general
information.
D
Another
strategy
allows
us
to
influence
policy.
We
produce,
we
participate
in
the
regional
advocacy
community.
We
address
trends
in
the
shared
economy
within
our
planning
and
our
our
strategies.
We
monitor,
legislate,
legislative
actions
and,
more
and
more
will
be
influencing
the
California
tourism
agenda
and
facilitating
business
districting.
D
D
And
here's
a
brief
timeline
of
the
activities
we'll
be
doing
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
In
2019,
we've
continued
to
pitch
retail
for
visitors
serving
businesses,
we're
continuing
our
business
assistance
to
the
community.
We
participate
in
policy
development
as
it
pertains
to
economic
development,
region-wide
we're
expanding
our
economic
information
to
a
wider
stakeholder
audience
and
we're
monitoring
asset
development
and
City
compensation
from
those
assets
next
year
when
the
stadium
opens
and
the
Metro
station
opens
we'll
be
fostering
new
business
openings,
downtown
Market
Street.
D
Undoubtedly,
new
businesses
will
open
there
will
develop
visitor
information
programs
and
begin
the
process
of
looking
at
property
based
Business
Improvement,
Districts
ambit
and
business
based
Business
Improvement
Districts
in
2021,
when
new
housing
opens
and
additional
new
retail
opens
will
expand
our
visitor
information
programs
and
begin
to
formulate
IP,
RP
bits
and
bits.
So
with
that,
that
is
my
presentation.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
them
if
not
I'll
be
happy
to
meet
with
you
individually
and
go
over
the
aspects
of
this
plan.
Thank.
C
A
C
A
F
Afternoon,
Marin
City
Council,
it's
my
honor
present.
The
FY
1920
operating
budget
I
have
a
great
team
of
employees
that
work
with
me
throughout
the
year
to
prepare
the
budget
for
your
consideration.
They
include
David
Esparza,
sharing,
joy,
key
Jonah
Buchanan
and
her
staff
can
Yetta
Hinton
and
Claire
Cabrera.
Our
total
operating
budget
is
251
million,
seven
hundred
ninety
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ten.
However,
my
portion
of
the
budget
presentation
today
will
only
focus
on
the
general
fund.
F
F
Revenues
are
125
million
five
hundred
eleven
thousand
four
hundred
twenty-five
dollars,
our
general
fund
expenditures,
125
million
for
19
thousand
five
hundred
forty
dollars
with
a
surplus
of
ninety
1885
annually.
As
part
of
the
you
can
change
his
light.
Annualized
part
of
the
budget
presentation,
significant
general
fund
budget
line
items,
increase
increases
are
highlighted
which
are
outside
the
city's
control.
Some
of
the
most
significant
increases
are
as
follows:
increased
costs
associated
with
salaries
and
medical
benefits
are
common
and
are
necessary
in
order
to
attract
and
retain
employees.
F
The
city's
general
fund
FY
1920
personnel
related
costs
are
approximately
96
million,
six
hundred
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
three.
This
is
a
five
point:
four
percent
or
four
million
nine
hundred.
Eighty
eight
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
five
dollar
increase
over
the
last
fiscal
year.
The
the
increase
would
have
been
higher.
However,
staff
has
included
a
five
million
dollar
projected
salary
savings
that
we
expect
to
realize
through
normal
position,
attrition
to
over
the
last
five
years.
F
Purse
cost
has
increased
seven
million
four
hundred
twenty
four
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty
one,
which
is
a
seventy
seven
percent
increase
and
are
expected
to
grow
to
thirty
seven
million
dollars
over
the
next
five
years.
Calpers
retirement
retirement
costs
for
FY
nineteen
twenty
is
twenty
nine
million
four
hundred
fifty
six
thousand
twenty
one
hundred.
F
This
represents
an
increase
of
ten
point:
five
percent
or
two
million
seven
hundred
ninety
eight
thousand
one
hundred
and
forty
six
when
compared
to
last
year
regarding
our
fire
contract,
the
city
of
Inglewood
contracts
with
the
County
of
Los
Angeles
for
fire
protection
services,
the
county
added,
a
cost
of
living
adjustment,
known
as
a
cola
to
the
FY
nineteen.
Twenty
fire
services,
contract
total
cost
for
LA
County
Fire
contract
is
sixteen
million.
Six
hundred
twenty
eight
thousand
four
hundred
and
twelve.
F
The
cola
and
related
benefits
are
a
primary
factor
resulting
in
11
point
one
percent
increase
or
1
million
six
hundred,
fifty
seven
thousand
three
hundred
twenty
two
dollars
and,
lastly,
for
retiree
health
and
health,
retiree
health
care
costs
for
I'm,
sorry,
active
and
retiree
health
care
costs
and
January
2018.
The
City
Council
approved
a
change
in
the
city's
health
care
providers.
This
has
allowed
us
to
keep
the
increase
to
a
minimum.
However,
in
FY
nineteen,
twenty
healthcare
cost
expenditures
are
increasing
art,
no
health
care
costs
are
fifteen
million.
F
Six
hundred
twenty
four
thousand
nine
hundred
and
seven
dollars,
of
which
five
point
1
million
is
attributed
to
retirees.
The
overall
overall
health
care
increase
is
five
percent
or
seven
hundred
forty
five
thousand
seven
and
ten
from
the
prior
fiscal
year.
Now,
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
turn
over
the
remainder
of
the
presentation
to
mr.
Keogh,
no
mechanic
who
will
discuss
the
general
funding
mortgage
and
also
aspects
of
the
c/y
budget.
G
I'm
pleased
to
assist
in
the
presentation
for
the
fiscal
year,
2019
20
budget
I'll
be
starting
with
the
revenues.
The
total
citywide
revenues
are
projected
to
be
233
million,
nine
hundred
and
sixty
four
thousand
and
sixty
nine
dollars.
This
slide
provides
a
snapshot
of
the
citywide
revenues
by
fun,
grouped
by
category
grouped
by
category
percentage
and
amount,
as
you
can
see,
125
million
five
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars
or
fifty
four
percent
of
the
citywide
budget
is
allocated
to
the
general
fund.
G
Other
funds,
grouped
by
category
type,
that
support
the
citywide
revenues
significantly
our
our
proprietary
funds
at
nineteen
percent.
Forty
three
point:
five
million:
they
include
water,
sewer,
sanitation
and
parking,
our
special
fund
revenues
at
eleven
percent
or
twenty
five
point:
four
million.
They
include
all
of
the
state
federal
and
county
allocated
support
CDBG
in
housing
at
nine
percent.
G
Twenty
one
point:
six
million,
that's
inclusive
of
all
the
HUD
Housing
and
Urban
Development
buttons,
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
have
our
measure
IT
debt
service,
special
assessment
and
grants
that
total
citywide
as
I
presented
is
twenty.
Two
hundred
and
thirty
three
million
nine
hundred
sixty
four
thousand
and
sixty
nine
dollars.
G
Our
next
slide
here
represents
the
general
fund
revenues
by
source.
The
general
fund
budget
is
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
million
five
hundred
eleven
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars.
This
slide
provides
a
glance
of
general
fund
revenues
by
source
percentage
and
amount.
The
fiscal
year
2020
general
fund
revenues
are
2.56
million
or
two
percent
less
than
19.
G
G
A
A
G
The
restricted
funds
in
respect
to,
for
example,
our
proprietary
funds.
Those
funds
are
only
to
be
supported
and
allocated
for
proprietary
use,
whether
it's
our
water
fund,
our
sewer,
sanitation
or
parking,
they
all
bring
in
their
own
revenue
and
those
revenues
are
to
be
spent.
X
trick'd
Leon
those
services,
whether
it's
water,
sewer
sanitation.
The
same
goes
for
our
special
revenues.
Our
special
revenues
include
things
that
are
related
to
state
federal
and
county,
which
means
those
funds
can
only
be
spent
on
allocated.
Support
for.
H
G
A
In
the
state,
so
the
city
isn't
have
the
luxury
of
take
saying.
Oh,
we
have
this
money
and
we
can
use
it
over
here
for
whatever
we
want.
I
just
want
people
understand.
So
when
we
say
we
have
an
over
200
million
dollar
total
fund.
That
includes
restricted
funds,
funds
that
our
grant
funds,
funds
that
we
receive
in
support
of
state
and
county
activities
and.
G
G
G
So
with
that
said,
we
have
our
revenue
discussion.
I
will
be
going
through
the
revenue
discussion
and
providing
a
brief
overview
for
our
fiscal
year.
20
revenues
in
these
following
categories
sales
and
use:
tax,
property,
tax,
business,
tax,
t
ot
taxes,
transit
occupancy
tax
card
club
and
motor
vehicle
and
lieu
tax.
G
Sales
tax
revenues
are
projected
to
be
eighteen
point:
three
million
in
fiscal
year;
nineteen,
twenty,
an
increase
of
2.8
million
or
eighteen
point,
five
percent
from
nineteen,
although
it
appears
as
if
we
will
experience
an
increase
of
two
point:
eight
million
from
nineteen
to
twenty
there
was
a
one-time
allocation
adjustment
related
to
the
stadium
sales
tax
receipts
in
nineteen
that
skewed
the
anticipated
amount
to
be
collected.
That
difference,
which
is
roughly
2.2,
was
collected
but
recognized
in
our
revitalization
revenues.
Okay,.
G
Property
tax,
as
all
would
know
we
were
listed
in
the
LA
Times
this
year
in
terms
of
our
property
tax
and
the
potential
growth
that
we
have
acquired
as
a
result
of
our
new
stadium
there,
our
property
taxes
are
estimated
to
be
twenty
two
point:
nine
million,
which
is
approximately
four
point,
seven
or
twenty
five
point:
seven
percent
higher
than
last
fiscal
year.
The
increase
is
greatly
attributed
to
the
pension,
override
tax
return
back
to
the
city,
providing
an
additional
four
million.
G
In
addition
to
that,
the
city
is
also
experiencing
a
net
taxable
value
increase
of
twenty
five
point:
seven
percent
for
the
1920
tax
role
for
all
properties
in
the
city
of
Inglewood.
The
assessed
values
increase
of
two
point:
four
million
between
nineteen
and
twenty
is
due
to
the
recreational
category
of
assessed
value
which
is
attributed
to
the
stadium.
A
A
Ok,
ok,
that
doesn't
mean
that
your
property
taxes
went
up
26%
and
that's
why
I'm
stopping
us
here?
It
means
that
the
value
of
your
property
on
the
average
and
the
average
medium
is
increased.
Almost
26%.
Does
that
mean
your
property
taxes
going
up
26%?
No,
it
does
not
the
most
that
your
property
taxes
can
increase
in
a
single
year
is
2%,
that's
by
law.
You
know,
I
want
to
make
that
really
clear.
So
we'll.
J
A
Talking
about
the
value
of
properties
in
England,
which
is
a
good
thing,
it
means
that
those
that
own
their
properties
they're,
seeing
an
increase
in
their
ability
to
amass
generational
wealth,
but
they
are
not,
and
I
repeat,
are
not
going
to
be
charged
26%
more
for
your
three
taxes.
The
most
they
can
go
up
is
2%
in
a
year
unless
you
buy
a
new
property.
Unless
you
refinance
ok
and.
G
G
Business
license
tax,
our
business
license.
Tax
are
projected
to
be
seven
million
for
1920,
which
is
eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
more
or
13.8%
higher
than
the
current
fiscal
year.
The
increase
is
attributed
to
the
anticipated
increase
in
business
tax
applications
for
new
businesses
in
Englewood.
G
A
G
A
A
A
G
You
I
believe
I
mentioned
our
vehicle
license.
Taxes
are
estimated
to
be
thirteen
point,
three
million,
which
is
approximately
1.1
six
million
higher
than
our
current
adopted
budget,
and
that
concludes
our
revenues.
I
will
now
go
into
the
information
relative
to
our
expenditure
budget
for
fiscal
year
1920.
G
This
slide
shows
the
citywide
expenditures
by
fun,
grouped
by
type
amount
in
percentage.
I
am
providing
these
the
information
by
groups
so
that
you
can
actually
see
them
on
the
chart
here,
because
we
have
quite
a
few
funds
within
the
city,
so
I've
grouped
them
so
that
we
can
see
them
by
category
it's
easier.
This
slide
shows
the
citywide
expenditures
by
fund
grouped
by
type
amount
and
percentage
which
are
projected
to
be
251
million,
seven
hundred
ninety
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ten
dollars.
G
As
you
can
see,
the
general
fund
makes
up
fifty
percent
or
half
of
the
citywide
budget
for
fiscal
year.
Twenty
other
funds,
grouped
by
type,
that
have
a
significant
portion
of
the
citywide
amount,
are
our
enterprise
fund
at
nineteen
percent
or
forty
eight
point:
three
million
CDBG
and
special
revenues,
both
at
eight
percent.
G
G
A
Talk
about
that
for
a
second,
you
know.
Every
year
we
say
police
accounts
for
more
than
fifty
percent
of
the
budget,
and
no
one
really
ever
says.
Why
is
that?
Well
one?
It's
the
largest
single
department
in
the
city,
two
on
the
average,
the
majority
of
the
employees.
There
are
paid
significantly
more
than
the
average
employee
in
the
rest
of
the
city.
In
fact,
I
think
we
have
somewhere
around
750
employees.
Now,
yes,
okie
around
seven
or
50
employees
and
I
believe
over
300
of
them
are
employed
in
the
police
department.
G
Now,
and
that
leads
us
to
this
slide
here,
where
we
have
our
this
slide-
provides
a
snapshot,
comparison
of
the
general
fund,
revenues
versus
expenditures
for
the
last
five
years.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
are
not
anticipating
any
use
of
reserves
for
1920,
nor
have
we
had
to
use
reserves,
but
once
in
the
last
five
years.
Needless
to
say,
in
fiscal
year
1516,
we
spent
several
millions
in
general
fund
1
times,
which
included
6.6
million
in
the
Senior
Center
in
our
new
Senior
Center,
as
well
as
a
million
in
streets.
A
I
want
to
stop
for
one
second,
this
is
something
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
Now
The
Daily
Breeze
would
take
that
year
and
they
would
say-
and
they
the
mayor
drove
$57,000
tahoe
and
they
spent
six
million
in
reserves.
He
always
spent
six
of
me
and
reserves
to
make
the
Senior
Center
the
best
in
the
state
of
California.
We
chose
to
do
that.
We
spent
a
million
more
on
streets
because
we
chose
to
do
that.
That's
a
good
expenditure
of
funds,
but
don't
expect
to
get
credit
for
that
from
the
local
paper.
Yeah.
G
All
right
so
here
we
have
our
capital
improvement
projects,
I
provided
a
graph
here
to
show
you
the
proportional
amounts
by
the
support
that
we're
given.
So
the
capital
provement
projects
are
projected
to
be
20
point
20
point:
1
million
Fisk
for
fiscal
year
20.
This
slide
provides
a
graph
of
the
city
y
of
the
CIP
s
by
funding
source.
The
larger
triangular
portions
are
supported
by
the
special
revenue
category
funds,
which
are
mostly
state
and
county
related
street
and
transportation
funds.
G
All
the
other
projects
are
continuing
projects
with
prior
year,
I'm
sorry
from
prior
year,
with
new
allocation
of
funding,
so
I'd
like
to
stress
that
our
streets
and
roadways
being
the
largest
and
value
and
count
include
twenty
nine
projects,
as
listed
totaling
over
fifteen
million,
mostly
for
design
and
rehabilitation
of
various
local
streets.
Various
improvements
on
south
Prairie
from
century
Boulevard
to
the
105.
It
also
includes
an
environmental
review
and
design
for
the
city's
new
railroad
system,
as
well
as
several
intelligent
transportation
system
improvements.
G
The
city
has
been
improving
approximately
30
Lane
miles
of
streets
each
year,
typically
for
most
cities,
our
size
is
about
10
Lane
miles,
so
we're
doing
three
times
that
amount
and
just
to
give
you
a
figurative
idea.
What
that's
like
a
lane
mile
is
twelve
feet
wide
by
one
mile
or
sixty
three
thousand
feet.
K
A
G
G
I
K
It
and
then
in
our
in
our
breakdown
of
the
general
fund
city
departments
on
other,
including
the
fire
services,
it
went
down
58.5%
on
expenditures
which
is
great
besides
the
I
know
that
the
city
clerk
and
the
fire
and
certain
things
were
mentioned
as
decreases,
and
why
was
there
some
other
examples
of
why
it
went
down
so
much?
It.

Next
week,
Tuesday
September
24th
is
the
National
Voter
Registration
day
and
I'm,
encouraging
everyone
who
is
not
registered
to
get
registered,
and
if
you
have
children
of
the
ages
of
16
and
17,
they
can
pre-register
and
if
you're
18
years
and
older
and
you're
not
registered
at
the
time
is
now
you
can
get
the
forms
in
the
City
Clerk's
office,
or
you
can
also
register
online
at
register.
To
vote,
see
a
dot,
govt
and
also
councilman
Padilla
didn't
get
to
go
to
the
Hispanic
festival.
But
I
heard
it
was
a
blast.
C
L
B
M
H
That
appeared
in
Wall
Street
Journal
that
a
number
of
entities
like
Goldman,
Sachs
and
JP
Morgan
and
also
Citibank,
are
starting
to
use
a
different
criteria
for
evaluating
creditworthiness.
They
they're
talking
about
using
things
like
how
a
person
pay
the
phone
bill
and
also
how
improving
in
grades
and
primarily,
why
they
looking
at
these
other
factors,
is
that
they
saw
that
roughly
about
53
million
people,
don't
have
any
credit
report
at
all
and
another
56
million
basically
have
bad
credit.
H
C
A
They
sought
a
grant
from
Metro
to
make
a
fiber-optic
loop
that
will
provide
connectivity
to
the
South.
Bay
also
allow
the
individual
cities
to
do
as
we
have
done
in
Englewood
with
an
intelligent
traffic
system.
Okay
and
it'll
also
allow
that
system
to
cross
borders
as
well,
and
so
at
first
the
Metro
staff
said
it
didn't
qualify
the
transportation
project
and
from
chair
this
year
and
we
had
a
meeting
and
we
helped
them
understand
that
connecting
traffic
systems
is
the
transportation
program.
A
So
we
crossed
that
hurdle.
But
then
it
turns
out
it's
a
3.8
million
dollar
program
and
it's
a
reimbursement
program.
So
the
first
feet-first
amount
is
eight
hundred
thousand
and
the
cities
didn't
know
what
to
do,
and
so,
amazingly
out
of
all
the
South
Bay
cities,
they
came
to
Englewood
to
ask
to
borrow
the
money
which
will
be
reimbursed
to
us
in
about
90
days,
which
I
find
very
fascinating.
A

K
E
M
B
C

A
N
Hispanic
Heritage
Festival
was
amazing.
The
car
show
was
wonderful
too,
and
we
had
actually
some
people
requesting
which
I
told
councilman
Padilla
that
people
are
requesting
have
a
second
car
show
throughout
the
year
like
a
Valentine's
Day
with
the
wives.
So,
overall,
the
festival
was
amazing,
great
time
everyone
seemed
to
enjoy
so
kudos.
B
J
J
J
City
of
Champions
also
will
be
having
a
5k
asking
you
to
come
out
and
bring
your
family
and
Rana
walk.
You
know,
whatever
your
preference
to
do,
I
think
you
would
really
enjoy
the
staff
at
work.
Having
worked
real
hard
I
know
my
assistant,
Alicia
Smith,
has
worked
tirelessly
to
make
this
a
successful
event.
So
on
the
28th,
you
can
come
back
to
Vincent
Park
and
get
your
run
on
whatever
I
wanna.
Do.
I
also
want
to
thank
Mark
and
Rex
Sabina,
Barnes,
and
especially,
but
Reece
and
kyndra,
for
bringing
this
job
in
on
time.
J
M
Mayor
Mike
want
to
congratulate
you
already
you
and
your
staff.
Mr.
Estrada
you
and
your
staff
is
well
everybody.
There
was
a
part
of
putting
this
budget
together
and
I
got
it
we're
doing
so
much
more
at
times
with
less
and
where
our
folks
are
wearing
so
many
different
hats
and
and
we're
getting
pulled
in
so
many
different
directions.
Yet,
as
you
can
see
we're
getting
the
job
done,
we're
doing
it.
You
know
we
have
a.
You
know
what
91
thousand
left
over
there.
M
You
were
saying
you
know
I
mean
consider
where
we
were
five
six
years
ago
right
eight
years
ago.
You
know
you
know
eight
years
ago,
we're
like
you
know
what
six
months
away
from
you
know
bankruptcy,
amazing,
amazing.
What
we're
doing
here
in
the
city
of
Englewood
and
I
want
to
thank
you,
guys,
the
residents
and
our
staff
here
in
City
Hall,
for
believing
in
us
and
supporting
us.
You
know
some
of
the
decisions.
M
We
made
a
lot,
this
path,
weren't
always
the
most
popular,
but
we
did
it
because
we
knew
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
For
the
city
of
Englewood.
You
know
for
our
future
and
it's
paid
off
the
dividends
are
tremendous
and
we're
gonna
continue
to
move
this
city
forward.
You
know
this
budget
that
we
present
today
that
we
looked
at.
You
know
we're
gonna
come
back
and
revisit
it
throughout
the
year,
because
it's
a
you
know
it's
a
work
in
progress.
We
do
Meteor
budget
reviews,
we're
always
looking
at
our
budget.
M
You
know
trying
to
make
changes
when
we
need
to
make
those
changes.
You
look
at
the
capital
improvement
projects,
things
that
we're
doing
long-term
here
in
the
city
of
Englewood.
You
know
our
re,
our
street
resurfacing
programs.
You
know
it's
amazing
what
Public
Works
is
doing
with
with
that.
You
know
our
traffic
engineers,
so
you
know
we're
certainly
headed
in
the
right
direction
and
I'm
excited
for
us
for
the
city
of
Englewood.
M
So
many
great
things
going
on
I
also
want
to
thank
moving
on
to
give
thanks
to
Teresa,
Estrada
and
Sabrina
Barnes
and
all
their
staff.
The
Hispanic
heritage
festival
was
a
tremendous
success.
It
was
the
first
year
we
did
it
on
Regent
Street.
We
made
it
more
of
a
street
fair.
You
could
see
all
the
the
folks
that
were
there,
the
vendors,
the
booths-
you
know
you
know,
I
did
the
classic
car
show
I
had
over
a
hundred
classic
cars
out
there.
M
M
You
know
exemplify
what
we
stand
for
as
a
city,
so
you
know
kudos
to
all
the
staff
that
we're
out
there
to
make
that
event
a
huge
success.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
for
coming
out
and
supporting
that
Eric.
This
Thursday,
the
chamber,
is
doing
the
police
and
fire
appreciation
luncheon,
there's
still
tickets
available.
If
anybody's,
ok,
limited
tickets
are
still
available.
M
Folks,
if
you're
looking
to
go,
it's
an
opportunity
to
think
our
police
and
our
firefighters
for
everything
they
do
every
single
day
and
it's
gonna
be
at
the
Crowne
Plaza
right
here
on
century
Boulevard.
If
you
want
more
information
contact
the
chamber,
we
hope
to
see
you
there
with
that.
Thank
you,
Mary.
You
guys
have
a
great
day.
You.
E
There
has
been
a
significant
groundswell
to
see
how
the
infrastructure,
the
quality
of
life
issues,
have
mushroomed
dramatically
over
the
last
eight
years
and
that
the
value
is
being
recognized
by
the
residents,
but
clearly
it's
our
staff.
We
tip
our
hats
off
to
so
thank
you,
city
manager,
mr.
fields,
it
on
all
your
all.
Your
departments
that
are
involved
I
also
am
very
impressed
to
see
this
past
Saturday.
The
Hispanic
Heritage
Festival
that
took
place
this
past
Saturday
I
had
concerns
regarding
the
where
the
venue
is
going
to
be
located
in
the
layout.
E
But
my
hats
go
off
to
the
Hispanic
Heritage
Committee.
They
parks
and
recreation
department,
particularly
Sabrina
barns
and
district
4
resident.
That
is
also
in
my
in
my
area,
which
is
miss
Estrada,
Teresa,
Estrada
and
then
Alex
Padilla
and
their
team
to
see
that
it
was
laid
out
very
nicely
where
you
had
a
food
court
adjacent
to
the
kiddie
area
for
the
games,
etc.
And
then
you
had
the
stage
right
on
the
boulevard
of
Regent.
E
Immediately
following
that
was
the
the
dance
floor
plus
then,
the
audience
could
set
under
a
canopy
with
chairs,
and
we
had
that
nice
ocean
breeze.
That
came
down
the
Regent,
which
was
exceptionally
nice
and
then
all
of
the
Community
Chest
organizations
that
was
be
following
behind
that
they
had
all
their
services
and
products
they
had
made
available
for
us
and
then
finally,
the
car
classic
show
I
was
overwhelmed.
E
There
were
so
many
vehicles
that
I
appreciated
the
time
and
effort
that
those
individuals
had
invested
and
these
vehicles
that
are
25
years
and
older,
that
it
was
awesome.
So
again,
hats
off
to
everyone
that
was
involved.
I
also
want
to
reach
out
to
the
Friends
of
the
Inglewood
Public
Library,
because
we
also
had
a
book
sale
that
same
time
period,
and
they
also
was
having
a
very
successful
event.
E
And
so
we
do
all
we
can
for
those
that
support
the
libraries,
particularly
the
Inglewood
public
libraries,
to
get
out
when
they
have
these
book
sales
in
support
of
our
friends,
family,
loved
ones
and
I'm,
particularly
partial
of
going
there,
because
I
have
grandkids
and
it's
great
to
be
able
to
get
nursery
books
and
gently
worn
books
that
we
can
sit
down
with
our
rank,
is
and
watch
them
mature
in
life.
So
I'm
glad
that
I
was
able
participate
and
all
these
events
and
everyone
have
a
safe
day.
A
safe
and
blessed
day.
Thank.
K
Thank
you,
I'll
start
by
thanking
staff,
first
of
all,
for
the
budget
and
the
message
we
got
today,
but
I'll
start
with
the
Hispanic
festival.
You
know
it's,
it's
amazing
how
much
great
greater
it
gets
every
year
and
obviously,
staff
does
so
much
Sabrina
Teresa
their
staff,
our
police,
our
code
enforcement,
the
guys
that
clean
up
I
mean
they
do
so
much
they
plan
it.
They
help
put
it
together
and-
and
you
know
we
get
to
take
credit
for
it
up
here
and
that's
you
know.
K
I
just
wants
to
have
to
know
that
we're
so
grateful
for
that
they
do
a
great
job
and
Alex.
Does
a
great
job
on
his
car
show.
The
amazing
thing
about
festivals,
such
as
that
is
that
we
tend
to
get
a
response
from
everybody.
Our
state
officials.
Are
there
local
officials
from
from
other
cities
come
by
that
just
shows
kind
of
who
we
are
and
what
we've
become
in
and
how
how
much
people
really
value
the
city
of
Inglewood
I
know.
K
Senator
Bradford
is
here
now
and
he
joined
us
that
day
as
well,
I
think
I,
don't
think
he
misses
many
of
our
events.
Oh
Thank
You
Stevie
for
that
in
regards
to
the
fact
that
it
exists
in
the
first
place.
You
know
there
was
a
time
that
in
nineteen
I
once
in
1997-98,
they
stopped
putting
it
in
the
budget,
and
it
wasn't
until
about
12
years
ago
that
they
started
to
bring
those
back
and
then
a
we
moved
some
stuff
around
and
it
just
continued
to
grow
and
everybody
is
so
supportive
of
those
festivals.
K
K
K
The
fact
that
we
don't
have
to
say
we're
in
any
kind
of
deficit
is
an
amazing
departure
from
where
we
were
eight
nine
years
ago.
Amazing,
so
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
very
proud
of
that.
I
I
wanted
to
point
out
the
ridiculous
ways
that
the
city
used
to
have
to
make
budget
by
these
one-time
revenue.
Things
selling
off
our
properties,
I
mean
it
was
ridiculous.
What
we
had
to
do
to
stay
afloat,
I
know
that
our
financial
health
is
is
where
we
need
to
be
we're.
K
A
Before
I
closing,
I
would
yield
so
much
time
as
senator
Bradford.
If
he
wanted
to
say
a
couple
words
well
eg,
he
just
glad
to
be
here.
I
want
to
start
I'd
want
to
be
here
to
Steve.
I
want
to
I
want
to
say
before
I
close,
that
Senator
Bradford
is
always
there
for
us,
because
you
know
the
things
that
we're
doing
ruffle
a
lot
of
feathers
people
a
lot
of
money
and
he's
always
there
for
us.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
publicly
for
that.
A
Okay,
you
guys.
You
know,
everybody
covered
everything,
but
I
I
really
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
committee
Hispanic
Heritage
Committee
I
really
want
to
acknowledge
consul
Madea,
although
I
give
him
a
hard
time
because
he
works
hard.
You
know
on
that
car
show
and
and-
and
he
deserves
a
lot
of
credit
for
that-
you
guys.
A
See
look
put
your
picture
up,
and
and
and
I
and
I
want
to
really
emphasize
a
couple
things
today.
It
was
everybody
that
26
percent
evaluation
means
that
the
total
number
of
properties
are
on
the
tax
rolls
they
compared
to
the
end
of
2012,
which
ones
everything
was
at
its
lowest
in
the
county
and
our
we've
increased
26%
in
total
valuation
higher
than
any
other
city
in
the
county.
Amazing.
A
A
If
you
hold
onto
your
property
and
don't
buy
a
new
property,
they
can't
they
can't
go
to
market
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
other
thing
I
want
to
make
really
clear
is
that
we
don't
get
accurate
coverage
by
some
of
the
papers
as
to
what's
going
on
here.
Don't
let
anyone
convince
you,
but
here's
any
problem
with
finances
in
the
city
of
Englewood.
Five
of
the
last
six
years
we
had
surpluses
the
only
year
we
didn't
is
because
we
chose
to
do
extra
things.
A
We
chose
to
spend
more
on
the
Senior
Center
than
we
had
allocated
for
it.
For
the
seniors,
that's
a
good
thing.
We
in
January
2016
have
been
recognized
since
then
by
Moody's
investments
as
the
most
liquid
city
of
all
the
cities,
they
rate
nationwide,
and
what
does
that
measure?
They
measure
your
unobligated
reserves
compared
to
your
spending
plan.
Look
at
our
spending
plan.
It's
about
125
million.
This
year
we
have
a
little
over
60
million
dollars
on
obligated.
What
does
that
mean?
A
That
means
we
could
run
the
city
for
six
months
in
the
projected
budget
without
receiving
a
dime
in
revenue.
There's
no
other
city
Southbay
that
can
make
that
claim.
Iii.
You
know
I
want
to
compliment.
You
know
the
staff
I
want
to
compliment
the
council.
The
council's
made
some
wise
decisions
that
complement
the
city
manager
and
then,
when
we
talk
about
who's
up
for
the
day
to
Sabrina
and
Teresa
Estrada
and
their
employees
are
up
for
today
they
do
great
jobs
on
these
events.
A
These
events
are
part
of
our
brand
they're
part
of
our
community
sense
of
self.
That's
what
real
cities
do
there
beyond
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
financial
management
and
pavement
streets
and
trimming
trees
and
providing
public
safety
they're
about
the
things
that
bind
us
together,
as
opposed
to
the
things
that
divide
us
so
I
want
to
thank
you,
Teresa
Thank,
You
Sabrina.
Today.
