Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors of the Manhattan Beach Capital Improvements Corporation appoint newly elected City Councilmembers Nina Tarnay and Steve Charelian to fill the Boardmember seats currently occupied by City Councilmembers/Boardmembers Steve Napolitano and Richard Montgomery.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no fiscal implications associated with the recommended action.
BACKGROUND:
The Manhattan Beach Capital Improvements Corporation (CIC) was formed in 1996 to facilitate issuance of debt for improvements to the water and wastewater system. It has been used since then as the conduit for a number of debt issues including the Police/Fire Facility, Metlox improvements, Marine Avenue Sports Fields and Fire Station No. 2. City Councilmembers serve as CIC Boardmembers.
DISCUSSION:
At the recent municipal election on November 5, 2024, the City electors elected Nina Tarnay and Steve Charelian, to fill two City Council seats. Steve Napolitano and Richard Montgomery have termed out and Joe Franklin ran as an incumbent. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council appoint Nina Tarnay and Steve Charelian to fill the seats occupied by Steve Napolitano and Richard Montgomery.
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
After analysis, staff determined that public outreach was not required for this issue.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
LEGAL REVIEW
