At the City Council meeting on the evening of Monday, June 22, Public Hearing 1 called for, “Adoption of a Resolution Confirming and Levying the Assessment for the Higuera Street Landscape and Lighting Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.”
That passed unanimously, as did PH2: “Adoption of a Resolution Confirming and Levying the Assessment for Landscaping Maintenance District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.”
A further four Public Hearing items all passed unanimously. PH3 called for, “Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Annual Assessment Levy for Benefit Assessment District West Washington Boulevard No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026/2027,” while PH4 called for, “Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Annual Assessment Levy For Benefit Assessment District West Washington Boulevard No. 2 for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.”
PH5 called for, “Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Annual Assessment Levy for Benefit Assessment District West Washington Boulevard No. 3 for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.”
Finally, PH6 called for, “Introduction of an Ordinance Approving City-Initiated Annual Zoning Code Amendment (P2026-0115-ZCA) Amending Various Sections of Title 17: Zoning Code of the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) for Clarifications, Corrections, and Updates, and Exemption from CEQA.”
There was a little more discussion around PH6, but that too quickly passed unanimously.
There was only one Action Item on the agenda, but it had many elements. A1 read: “ (1) Adoption of a Resolution Calling a General Municipal Election to be Held in the City of Culver City on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 to Elect Two Council Members to the City Council, Each for a Full Term of Four Years, and to Place on the Ballot One Proposed Charter Amendment Regarding Lowering the Voting Age to 16 for City and School District Elections; (2) Adoption of a Resolution Requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to Consolidate a General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election, and to Render Full Election Services to the City Related to the Conduct of the Election; (3) (If Desired) Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the City Council and/or Certain Council Members to Submit Primary Ballot Arguments Regarding the Ballot Measure; (4) (If Desired) Creation and Appointment of Members to Ad-Hoc Subcommittee(s) to Draft and/or Submit Such Ballot Argument(s); (5) Adoption of a Resolution Approving Rebuttal Arguments; (6) Instruction to the City Clerk to Post a Notice Setting the Date After Which No Arguments May be Submitted; and (7) Instruction to the City Attorney to Prepare the Impartial Analysis for the Ballot Measure.”
The only controversial part was the Vote 16 section, aimed at lowering the voting age for City and School District elections to 16, so that was voted on separately.
The last time the Vote 16 Culver City group successfully had the issue placed on the ballot, it missed out by just 16 votes, a staggeringly small amount.
That item passed 3-2 this time, with Council Members Albert Vera and Dan O’Brien voting against.
Everything else passed unanimously, with Vice Mayor Bubba Fish and Council Member Yasmine-Imani McMorrin voted onto the adhoc subcommittee.
