I don't believe the council members have made a valid argument to open the lagoon for less than three months at a cost of approx. $100K. The only reasoning I've heard is because 'we like it' or 'it's a regional amenity'. A regional amenity that is subsidized by Redondo Beach? These reasons just don't wash. I don't understand the infatuation. And now that we know the Beachlife Festival revenue generator will be negatively affected, please reconsider your decision to open the lagoon for the summer of 2021.
I urge the council to NOT open Seaside Lagoon in 2021.
The large subsidy required for a short season is just not warranted.
Moreover, the metals contamination issue has still not been resolved.
Let's save the operating subsidy money to line the pool.
