Council to review ‘LOS OSOS’ Core Area concepts and agreement for law enforcement services May 23

The City Council on Tuesday, May 23 will receive a presentation about Core Area Vision Plan LOS OSOS concepts, review a 2023-24 agreement for law enforcement services, as well as consider General Fund target and minimum reserve levels, among other business.   

The business portion of the meeting starts at 6 pm in the Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center.    

At the last Planning and Transportation Commission and Community Services Commission meetings, Assistant City Manager Keith Rattay discussed the Core Area Vision Plan and community campaign; detailed the Traffic Impact Study featuring analysis of the traffic and parking elements of the potential project; presented LOS OSOS concept specifics on architectural elements; and highlighted the recreational and programming opportunities available at the site. As part of a series of past and future presentations, the City Council will receive an overview of the concepts and summary of the public input provided to date.  

Part of the City’s process for developing the FY 2023-25 City budget, the Council will receive and consider the establishment of General Fund target and minimum reserve levels for the next budget cycle.    

The Council will also consider a Fiscal Year 2023-24 agreement for law enforcement services provided by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. 

In other news, the Council will proclaim the first Friday in June as National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Commemorated nationally, this is a day inspired by friends of Hadiya Pendleton (who was tragically shot and killed at age 15) to wear orange and raise awareness of the lives impacted by gun violence. This proclamation is meant to honor and remember all victims and survivors of gun violence and to declare that we as a country must do more to end this public health crisis.
