# Manhattan Beach City Council: Adjourned Regular Meeting - November 4, 2026

The Manhattan Beach City Council adjourned regular meeting on November 4, 2026, approved an amended ground and parking-lot lease with the Bay Club by a 5–0 vote. The agreement consolidates three leases, extends potential terms through 2082, raises the membership cap to 2,757, and provides annual rent adjustments tied to CPI, with a 2% floor and 5% ceiling. Staff said the lease is expected to generate just over $1 million in additional discretionary revenue annually; modeled total revenue ranged from $12.5 million to more than $21 million. The council also considered paid-parking resolutions for the new ParkMobile/mobile-pay and license-plate-based system, setting a 15-minute cooling-off period; parking rates are unchanged, and staff plans further public review of time limits. The transcript does not clearly capture the final vote on those resolutions.

The council approved a seven-project cultural arts plan for the 2028 Olympics, with a motion passing 5–0. The plan allocates $335,000 from the public art fund and uses $15,000 from existing general-fund budgets for projects including concerts/watch parties, public-art and utility-box work, conservation of the pier railing, and a commemorative design. Separately, staff presented a proposed $150,000 fallen-service-members memorial, including a recommended artist design, but the transcript does not capture a final decision. In a World Cup after-action report, staff said 5,734 overtime hours and rental costs for barriers, fencing, and a generator had been submitted for reimbursement; the city also reported $8,865 in banner revenue. No new contract award for those costs was recorded.
