City Secures $500,000 Grant for Lomita Sports and Community Center Planning
The City Council approved a grant agreement with the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District for $500,000 to fund the planning and design of the future Lomita Sports and Community Center on the former Navy property. This funding will support community outreach, conceptual planning, and the preparation of design documents. Staff recommended approval and authorization for the city manager to execute the agreement. Representatives from Supervisor Janice Hahn's office and the Regional Park and Open Space District were present for a photo recognition.
City Council Approves $52.3 Million Budget Focused on Infrastructure and Services
The City Council reviewed and adopted the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year, totaling $52,298,405. The budget prioritizes improving local roads, enhancing neighborhood safety, and increasing the efficiency of city services. It includes allocations for public safety, recreation, community services, and infrastructure upgrades. While expenditures exceed revenues, this is attributed to the planned use of restricted funds saved from previous fiscal years for capital projects, ensuring no new debt or deficit is created. Several capital projects are slated for funding, including IT system replacements, water infrastructure improvements, street projects, and community facility upgrades. Personnel amendments include reclassifications and salary adjustments.
Boys and Girls Club Partnership to Enhance Youth Programming Approved
The City Council approved a professional services agreement with the Boys and Girls Club of Los Angeles Harbor to provide enhanced youth programming through the Parks and Recreation Department. The partnership will involve two instructors delivering two classes, focusing on art courses and educational enrichment programs. Programming is set to begin in winter 2027 at Lomita Park. The agreement will not exceed $45,000 and is funded through the approved fiscal year 2026-2027 proposed budget. Pete from the Boys and Girls Club expressed enthusiasm for the partnership.
City Adopts Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan
The City Council held a public hearing and adopted the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP).

The plan indicates a reliable water supply through a combination of maximized groundwater use and imported water. The WSCP outlines a menu of options for responding to drought conditions and potential state-mandated cutbacks. The state deadline for submission is July 1st.
