NEW BUSINESS
2) Measure H Funding Update — Presented by Kelly McDonald
Update on Measure H was given. Under Measure H, The LA County Supervisors concluded that
there will be 9 million dollars available to the County in which each of the 41 Cities whom came
together and did 39 separate homeless plans can compete for funding by completing an RFP
process. Cities are waiting for that RFP process information in order to apply. There is no direct
allocation of funds to each City that submitted a plan. The process for the RFP is estimated to
begin January of 2019, and funds are to be dispersed over an 18-month time period to those
Cities that were awarded funds. Discussion was had about amount of funding, when it could be
available to the City, what options are available to the city to use the funds for, if there is any
current litigation in regards to the allocation process, and amount the County is distributing and
if it will be an annual re -occurring funding or a one time funding.
3) Facility Reports for June & July 2018 — receive and file.
Report was received and filed.
CONTINUED BUSINESS
AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORTS — Update on CIP Sub -Committee Meeting prior to this
meeting was given by the Commissioners on this Committee:
Kaufman stated that they discussed the need for playground developments & restrooms at parks
with a preference of restrooms. They went over a more efficient way to provide restrooms and
updates will be based off the current list of priorities from the park needs assessment.
Lopez stated that they were presented with some self-cleaning restrooms that would be a good fit
for our parks and discussed how they would work and benefits all users of the parks.
Blackburn inquired where the funding would come from. McDonald stated it will be from the
Measure A Funds once they are dispersed to the cities. These funds are currently still in the
litigation phase so the City is waiting to receive the funds before any projects will be started.
