ADOPT BY TITLE ONLY ORDINANCE NO. 3268-24, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 2-9.704 OF ARTICLE 7, CHAPTER 9, TITLE 2 OF THE REDONDO BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE HARBOR COMMISSION, FOR SECOND READING AND ADOPTION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Appointments to the Harbor Commission must be made in accordance with Redondo Beach Municipal Code (RBMC) Section 2-9.704, which requires one member to be selected from a list of five names submitted by the Redondo Beach Harbor and Redondo Beach Pier Lessee's Association (HAPLA). HAPLA is no longer a functioning organization and the City Council asked staff to prepare an amendment to Section 2-9.704 of the RBMC to remove the HAPLA requirement and allow a member of the commission to be selected from a list of names submitted by the King Harbor Association and Redondo Pier Association. In the event the associations failed to submit a list of names, the Council requested that the Mayor be given the ability to recommend an at-large appointment.
The Ordinance modification was drafted accordingly and first introduced at the January 23, 2024 City Council meeting. The Council voted to support the proposed amendment, but directed staff to eliminate specific reference to the King Harbor Association and Redondo Pier Association. Instead, the Council asked that the language be adjusted to allow any harbor association to submit a list of five names. In addition, Council requested that the Mayor be able to appoint the member at-large, at any point during the selection process, rather than in the event the associations fail to submit a list of five names. The Ordinance, as modified, is now ready for second reading and adoption.
