Culver City 市议会通过条例精简公共工程审批：图纸改由市工程师批准，招标前免议会核准
位于加州洛杉矶县的 Culver City 市议会10月26日举行例会，市府11月2日发布会议总结：议会一致通过一项修订市政法规的条例，授权市工程师与市交通工程师依据加州《政府法典》第830.6条、为设计豁免目的批准公共工程的图纸与规格，并取消招标前须经市议会批准图纸与规格的要求。
市府表示，此前几乎所有公共工程项目的最终图纸与规格在招标施工前都须议会批准，这一步骤多属程序性，却可使项目时间表增加多达两个月。新规之下，议会仍保留最终批准权，工作人员授予施工合同时仍须取得议会批准；公共工程部门将继续在项目推进全程保障公众参与和透明度，项目仍会多次提交议会及相关小组委员会与委员会审议讨论。该条例同时加入加州环境质量法（CEQA）认定，说明此举属行政行为，依 CEQA 指引第15378条与第15061(b)(3)条豁免环境审查。
会议还表彰了两位本地人士。Janet Cameron Holt 博士自1970年起定居 Culver City，2015年起任该市诗歌荣誉艺术桂冠，2019年转为桂冠名誉诗人（Poet Laureate Emerita），议会表彰她数十年来服务众多本地组织、并在2020年创办 Artist Warrior 计划的贡献；她还将入选加州桂冠诗人正在编纂的一部诗集。Wende 博物馆（10808 Culver Boulevard）创办人兼执行馆长 Justinian Jampol 博士获颁德国联邦功绩十字勋章，议会表彰其对文化保存与跨大西洋理解的贡献，包括该馆在2025年1月 Palisades 山火期间抢救 Villa Aurora 历史建筑中不可替代藏品的努力。
议会同时宣布2026年10月为 Culver City 的菲律宾裔美国人历史月，今年主题为「超越边缘：聚焦交叉视角下的菲律宾裔美国人历史」，并肯定2023年成立、连结本地菲律宾裔居民及其家庭的社区组织 Culver City Kapwa；一场公开庆祝活动定于2027年10月10日在 Wende 博物馆举行。
其他获批事项包括：向 South Coast Fire Equipment 采购三辆新消防车，金额不超过3,888,628.09美元，另可追加不超过194,500美元（5%）应急费用，并从设备更换基金余额中拨款1,098,128.09美元；授权申请加州州立公园州级公园发展与社区振兴计划最高1,150万美元补助，改善 Fox Hills 公园、Tellefson 公园与 Culver West Alexander 公园；授权申请土地保护与水源基金最高625,000美元，改善退伍军人纪念公园球场；与 Weaver Consultants Group 签订不超过16万美元的转运站喷雾系统更换协议；追加 CWE 工程设计协议不超过19.5万美元（全市生物滞留池项目）；追加 SmartRise Elevators 电梯现代化协议356,315美元（协议总额不超过720,690美元）；申请司法部司法援助局防弹背心伙伴计划25,977.81美元补助；通过 SHI International 签订为期三年、每年439,994美元的微软企业协议；以及与 Waste Management 签订三年市政固废与建筑拆除材料处理协议等。
市议会下一次例会定于11月9日（周一）晚7时在市政厅 Mike Balkman 议会厅（9770 Culver Blvd.）举行。

Culver City Council Streamlines Public Works Approvals, Honors Local Leaders and Proclaims Filipino American History Month
The City Council of Culver City, in Los Angeles County, California, met on October 26, and the city on November 2 released its meeting summary: the council unanimously approved an ordinance amending the municipal code to authorize the City Engineer and City Traffic Engineer to approve plans and specifications for design immunity purposes under California Government Code Section 830.6, removing the requirement for City Council approval of plans and specifications prior to bidding.
Under the previous code, the council had to approve final plans and specifications for nearly all public works projects before they went out to bid, a largely procedural step that could add up to two months to a project's timeline. The council retains final project approval authority, as staff must still obtain council approval to award a construction contract, and Public Works staff will continue to ensure public input and transparency throughout project development. The ordinance adds a CEQA finding that the change is an administrative action exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3).
The council also honored two local figures. Dr. Janet Cameron Holt, who has called Culver City home since 1970 and served as the city's Honorary Artist Laureate for Poetry beginning in 2015 before transitioning to Poet Laureate Emerita in 2019, was commended for decades of civic service and for launching the Artist Warrior Program in 2020; she will also be included in an anthology being compiled by California's Poet Laureate. Dr. Justinian Jampol, founder and executive director of the Wende Museum at 10808 Culver Boulevard, received a commendation upon receiving the Cross of the Order of Merit from the Federal Republic of Germany, recognized for contributions to cultural preservation and transatlantic understanding, including the museum's efforts during the January 2025 Palisades fire to rescue irreplaceable items from the Villa Aurora.
The council proclaimed October 2026 as Filipino American History Month in Culver City, with the 2026 theme 'Beyond the Margins: Centering Intersectional Filipino American Histories,' and recognized Culver City Kapwa, a local community group founded in 2023 connecting people of Filipino descent and their families. A public celebration is planned for October 10, 2027, at the Wende Museum.
Other approvals included purchasing three new fire engines from South Coast Fire Equipment for up to $3,888,628.09, with up to $194,500 in contingency amendments and a $1,098,128.09 appropriation from the Equipment Replacement Fund; authorizing grant applications of up to $11,500,000 through the California State Parks Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program for Fox Hills Park, Tellefson Park and Culver West Alexander Park, and up to $625,000 through the Land and Water Conservation Fund for field improvements at Veterans Memorial Park; a $160,000 agreement with Weaver Consultants Group for the transfer station misting system; up to $195,000 more for CWE engineering design on the Citywide Bioretention Basin Project; a $356,315 amendment with SmartRise Elevators (total not to exceed $720,690); a $25,977.81 application to the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance bulletproof vest partnership; a three-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement through SHI International at $439,994 per year; and a three-year waste processing agreement with Waste Management Inc.
The next City Council meeting will be held on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 7 p.m. at the Mike Balkman Council Chambers, 9770 Culver Blvd.
