Dear Mayor Pimentel and City Council Members,
On behalf of the El Segundo Chamber of Commerce, we would like to express our appreciation for your
consideration of options for the Cultural Development Percent for the Arts fee. As we balance business
attraction and retention with our shared commitment to provide residential and business community
members with public spaces, structures, and experiences that enhance the character of the City through
the inclusion of art, we welcome the City's interest in evaluating the program, engaging stakeholders,
and making adjustments throughout this journey.
The El Segundo Chamber has surveyed our members to ascertain the business community's
understanding of the program as well as solicit feedback on the current structure and suggestions for the
program going forward. We are currently compiling the results and look forward to sharing those with the
City and City leadership as well as offering ourselves as a resource to the City and the Arts & Culture
Advisory Committee.
We value our partnership and look forward to offering additional feedback from our members.
Thank you,
Marsha Hansen
