City Council Selects Digital Kiosk Provider, Approves Modified Culver Public Market Project, and Moves Forward Construction Contractors Transparency Ordinance
Digital Kiosk Program Moves Forward with Vendor
At its meeting on Monday evening, the City Council approved and selected a vendor for an interactive digital kiosk program with commercial advertising (Program) along City sidewalks and public right-of-way. In addition, the City Council voted to form an ad hoc subcommittee to work with City staff and the selected vendor to negotiate the terms of an agreement. Vice Mayor Dan O’Brien and Council Member Albert Vera Jr. were selected to lead the subcommittee. Of the two vendors to have submitted bids to the City for the program, the City Council selected IKE Smart City as the City’s kiosk provider and operator. IKE is deployed in 20 cities, operating 550 live units.
IKE will be responsible for all installation and operating expense costs. The City will receive a $500,000 signing bonus for Phase 1 that would include 15 kiosks, 50% of net advertising revenues, with a minimum annual guarantee of $750,000. IKE will give $500,000 worth of advertising space to local businesses and non-profits annually. An second phase would site an additional 15 kiosks, at the mutual option of the City and IKE. IKE Smart City will provide cumulatively at least 25% of the default, advertising rotating screen time to the City for public information and announcements. No specific locations for the kiosks have been identified, though Downtown, Fox Hills, and the Art District have been considered. The Ad Hoc subcommittee will discuss siting and host a community meeting to gather feedback on proposed siting. The City Council will approve the final siting plan. IKE will be responsible regular maintenance, which will occur five days a week, and includes phone response 24/7.
The minimum annual revenues to the City are estimated to range from $750,000 per year (minimum annual guarantee of $50,000 per kiosk) for Phase I for the first year and approximately $876,000 to $1.3 million annually during the first 10 years of operation.
Vice Mayor O’Brien and Council Members Vera Jr. and Goran Eriksson voted in favor of the motion. Council Member Freddy Puza voted against. Mayor Yasmine-Imani McMorrin abstained from the vote. You can view IKE’s proposal submission on the City’s website. [ https://culver-city.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13392289&GUID=301D3444-05D0-45D4-B2FB-46A2ED901D19 ]
Culver Public Market Project Moves Forward with Development Amendment
The City Council unanimously approved an amendment to a development agreement relating to a commercial project on the corner of Washington Boulevard and Centinela Avenue. The project, dating back to 2018, was originally set to develop an artisanal market hall with food vendors and restaurants located on two sites at the northern corners of Washington Boulevard and Centinela Avenue. The pandemic delayed and ultimately dashed the original plans of the Culver Public Market, LLC (Developer).
The amended Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA), which was approved Monday night, will modify the Project to remove the market hall component, maintain the artisanal food and restaurants component, and expand the public plaza amenities.
Site A is located on the northwest corner of Washington Boulevard and Centinela Avenue with a size of about 1.22 acres. Site B, on the northeast corner, is .45 acres. As of August 2024, the Developer estimates the total Project development costs at approximately $23.81 million. Construction of the Project is estimated to take no longer than 24 months and would commence within 30 days after the building permit is issued. The Developer is hoping to begin construction in the Summer of 2025 with completion in late 2026/early 2027.
To date, the City’s Redevelopment Successor Agency and the City have committed nearly $17 Million into the Project, including land acquisition, parking structure set-aside funds, relocation, and legal/financial services. It is anticipated that the Project would generate approximately $159,800 [ https://culver-city.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13362498&GUID=E6E315D1-34AB-44F8-A922-B47F36EA2961 ] in revenues to the City on an annual basis in the form of property tax, sales tax and business tax revenue. The revised project is estimated to generate approximately 120 temporary jobs and 101 permanent new jobs in the community. The DDA agreement is available for review on the City’s website. [ https://culver-city.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13356239&GUID=C6226EB3-F037-4DED-896A-E048433FC471 ]
City to Prepare Transparency Ordinance for Contractor Disclosures
The City will create an ordinance that will require transparency disclosures from contractors and subcontractors doing permitted construction work. The intent of these type of ordinances is to encourage fair labor and business practices in the construction industry, protect workers’ rights, encourage fair wages and insurance coverage, and foster a culture of accountability and safety in the community. In approving moving forward on this ordinance, the City Council recognized that compliance with labor standards is in the best interest of the community. Transparency ordinances typically require the mandatory disclosure of licenses, insurance coverage, and past labor violations during the City’s permitting process. They also establish penalties for contractors and subcontractors who fail to comply. City staff will consider the City of Carson’s ordinance as a model.
Required disclosures could include:
* Any pending or final determinations of state or federal labor violations and any penalties paid to any government agencies related to such violations
* Workers compensation insurance
* State contractor license and license category
* City business license
* State and/or federal tax identification numbers
While the details of the ordinance will be made clearer before final review by the City Council, requirements could apply to commercial or industrial projects that are 20,000 square feet or larger. Projects with 20 or more residential dwelling units could also be included.
Non-compliance with the disclosure requirements could result in a stop work order, revocation of the permit, and penalties in the amount equal to the original permit fee.
The City Council unanimously approved staff to bring back a transparency ordinance for further review and City Council action.
Presentation on the Fentanyl Epidemic
The City Council listened to a presentation by the Institute for Public Strategies (IPS) focused on the fentanyl epidemic. It highlighted fentanyl overdose deaths in Los Angeles County increased from 29 in 2014 to 1,970 in 2023. Counterfeit or illicit pills that contain fentanyl inside have driven the increase of those numbers. Even the smallest amount of fentanyl can be deadly, IPS said. Just a few grains mixed into an illicit pill, or other drugs, can kill. Fake pills can be difficult to identify from real pills. IPS shared in its presentation how youth have fallen victim to fentanyl-laced pills, including those purchased online. IPS recommended collaborating with Culver City to increase access to harm reduction tools such as Narcan and fentanyl test strips in public places.
City Council Proclamations, Commendations & Recognitions
The City Council meeting began with several proclamations, commendations, and recognitions. In the first one of the evening, City Council proclaimed October 21-25, 2024, Annual *Women in Business Week*. Culver City has and continues to encourage community members to shop locally in support of our Culver City-based establishments to help maintain a robust economy and ongoing job opportunities within businesses both large and small. Culver City has a growing community of women-owned businesses and women who lead in business, as recognized and honored annually by the Culver City Chamber of Commerce’s Women In Business Leadership Awards. This year, the Women in Business Council celebrated the following honorees: Kathryn Lundeen of Lundeen’s Gifts, Marie Lloyd of Amazon, Dominique Hamler of Los Angeles Outpatient Center, Sara Lofton of Sara Wine Bar and KBella Pizza, and Lucia Diaz of Mar Vista Family Center. The City of Culver City encourages residents, their families, and friends to continue to celebrate, promote, support and shop at women-owned businesses.
The City Council commended *Lashinda Demus*, a two-time Olympian, Gold Medal Winner, and mother of four. She has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, passion, hard work, perseverance, and dedication in track and field, representing the United States with pride on numerous international stages in her specialty, the 400-meter hurdles. Most recently, Lashinda’s inspiring journey placed her at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where she received a Gold Medal for her 2012 London Olympic Games win in the 400-meter hurdles. Lashinda and her mother, Yolanda Demus, became the first mother-daughter (coach-athlete) duo to win a Gold Medal for Team USA in track and field. Lashinda’s journey to athletic stardom is a testament to her unwavering dedication to the sport coupled with her commitment to her community as Culver City High School’s Co-Head Track and Field Coach, has made her a role model for aspiring athletes everywhere.
In the third presentation of the evening, the City Council commended the *Shay Hotel* at Ivy Station for celebrating its third anniversary. Throughout the last three years, the hotel has established itself as a cultural hub, established as a vibrate gathering place for locals and visitors, as well as an economic driver by increasing local tourism and supporting the Culver City economy. The Shay is an establishment committed to sustainability, integrating eco-conscious practices into its operations, aligning with the City’s green initiatives, and fostering a walkable neighborhood.
The City Council commended the *Unity of the Westside* for celebrating 75 years in Culver City. Since 2017, Unity of the Westside has survived a fire, a flood and the two-year pandemic without missing a single Sunday service – virtual or otherwise - under the leadership of Reverend Karol Scotta. Unity of the Westside recently held an interfaith event to honor the United Nations’ International Day of Peace. The City of Culver City hereby commends Unity of the Westside for its 75 years of faithful contributions to the Culver City community, expressing its mission to be, “a spiritual beacon inspiring Unity through sacred service, prayer and education.”
