L.3. 21-2394 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSED BUDGET, FISCAL YEAR 2021-2026 CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND BUDGET RESPONSE REPORTS
PROCEDURES:
a. Open Public Hearing, take testimony; and
b. Continue Public Hearing to June 8, 2021; and
c. Receive and file Budget Response Reports.
I oppose any partnership with South Bay Parkland Conservancy, such as for line item, "Community Garden Infrastructure Improvements $35,000, due to this organization's documented history of routing taxpayer funds to its board members and their companies. A full investigation is in order regarding the $18,316.50
I oppose the $35,000 Capital Improvement Program for Community Gardens, an initiative of South Bay Parkland Conservancy until a complete investigation of the $18,316.50 to this organization is conducted and complete investigation can be provided of the related Parks and Rec Commissioner.
I oppose any expenditures with BCHD that are not specifically tied to services provided inside Redondo Beach to residents and workers in the City. Per public records act responses, BCHD demonstrated that 84% of its covid testing (and presumably 84% of its other Covid services and expenses) were for non-residents. CEO Bakaly makes vague statements absent any facts (a public records request was filed at BCHD, however, they have up to a 1-year lag in fulfillment) that the 84% worked in the City. BCHD has such poor budgeting, cost accounting, cost-effectiveness and tracking systems for programs that taxpayer funds cannot be trusted to BCHD for any service provision that is not explicitly measured and evaluated.
