# Council Meeting November 10, 2026

The November 10, 2026 Gardena City Council meeting addressed several procurement and capital-project items. The council ratified emergency work by Unix LLC to repair the traffic signal at Normandy Avenue and Gardena Boulevard for $95,025, with a $14,300 contingency, funded by gas tax; the motion passed unanimously among the four voting members. It also approved a staff-augmentation agreement with ART Consulting, Inc., not to exceed $150,000, to support Public Works engineering and feasibility/conceptual work on capital projects, funded through deferred maintenance. For GTrans, the council awarded Donine Electric, Inc. the EV-charger installation contract for $294,950.93 and approved a 20% contingency of $58,991; the award passed with four votes. The council also approved an amendment to the police chief’s employment agreement for a term from June 2027 through December 2029; the transcript lists related compensation and benefit costs across fiscal years but is unclear on some totals.

The council introduced Ordinance 1895 to update references in the city’s water-efficient landscape ordinance; staff reported no financial impact, and the motion passed. A proposed 152-unit apartment project with an automated parking structure at 2315 Marine Avenue had been approved by the Planning and Environmental Quality Commission, but a council member called it for review, so it is expected to return to a future council agenda; a nearby resident raised concerns about sunlight, construction impacts, traffic, and parking. The council discussed a special business activity permit for Care for the Children to paint curbs and solicit donations, including a proposed 25% contribution of Gardena proceeds to the Senior Center, but the transcript does not clearly record the final disposition. The open-space and conservation-plan update was also deferred for consideration at a future meeting.
