**BCHD DEIR RESPONSIBLE AGENCY COMMENTS ON BEHALF OF REDONDO BEACH RESIDENTS**
BCHD has Draft EIR comments due on June 10, 2021. I ask the Council to direct staff to review resident concerns that have been filed as public comments and file comments as a responsible agency on behalf of both the City and the commenting residents of Redondo Beach. While the CEQA process is broad and considers the regional factors, the City of Redondo Beach is responsible for issuing the Conditional Use Permit on behalf of Redondo Beach residents. It is very important that BCHD be required to prepare a thorough and disaggregated record that can serve as one of many tools to determine the net damages that BCHD plans to inflict on surrounding residents of 90277 and 90503. Specifically, BCHD needs to be required present the benefits and damages to 90277 and 90503 disaggregated from the general CEQA data.
**REMOVAL OF BCHD FEBUARY 2019 MEMO TO THE CITY ATTORNEY FROM THE RECORD**
BCHD conducted non-public negotiations with the City during 2018 and 2019. BCHD failed to disclose the negotiations and resulting memo from BCHD counsel until July of 2020, nearly 18 months later. I ask the Council that the memo, along with any other work product of those negotiations be stricken from the Public record. BCHD is a public agency, owned by the 3 Beach Cities and its conduct was antithetical to transparency and the best interests of Redondo Beach residents.
**CONSIDERATION OF EX PARTE DISCLOSURE FOR ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS**
As an elected official, the City Attorney was likely a part of these BCHD discussions and believe that the City should have an obligation to disclose. I ask the Council implement a comprehensive review of ex parte requirements and disclosure, with a presumption of ex parte disclosure as the norm. Both the general public and the BCHD-organized Community Working Group were damaged by BCHDs action of withholding disclosure of the memo until one month following BCHDs Board approval of its project.
