    Any budget items for payments from the City of Redondo Beach to BCHD need to explicitly benefit the residents of Redondo Beach. During Covid, Per BCHD, they spent about $3M of taxpayer-owner funds on Covid activity from March-to-March 2020-to-2021. BCHD expects to recover about $1M from FEMA. BCHD services were predominantly for non-residents of the 3 beach cities, with the County of LA reporting that BCHD Covid testing was for 84% non-residents. As such, any payments from the City to BCHD need to be earmarked for Redondo residents or those that work in Redondo Beach, since left to its own questionable management practices, 6 out of every 7 taxpayer-owner dollars was spent on non-residents by BCHD CEO and Board during Covid per public records responses.
