Brief

Councilmember Tim Mcosker, seconded by John S. Lee, introduced a motion on June 26, 2026, directing staff to assess the feasibility of establishing a shooting range facility for non-profit organizations at 3171 Gaffey Street and to prepare an environmental assessment of the project. The motion is currently pending in the Government Operations Committee with no further action since introduction.

Full summary

This motion by Councilmember Tim McOsker is a direct follow-up to a February 10, 2026 Council action that instructed the General Services Department, with help from the City Attorney and City Administrative Officer, to negotiate a no-cost three-year lease with the United States Navy for the property at 3171 Gaffey Street in San Pedro. That lease is intended as a stepping stone toward a potential City purchase of the federal property. The site currently hosts a shooting range facility and ballfields used by non-profit organizations. Before the lease can be initiated, however, environmental assessments of the property are required. To clear that hurdle, McOsker's motion directs the Bureau of Engineering, with assistance from the General Services Department and the Recreation and Parks Department, to conduct the necessary environmental assessments of the Gaffey Street parcels. The stated purpose is to allow the City to obtain site control of the shooting range facility and to formally manage the non-profit organizations currently using the ballfields on the property. A second directive instructs the City Administrative Officer, also with Bureau of Engineering and General Services support, to identify funding for that environmental review. The motion was referred to the Government Operations Committee on the day it was introduced, June 26, 2026, and no further committee or Council action has been recorded since. The file is linked to related Council File 26-0084, which appears to be the earlier action authorizing the Navy lease negotiations. The file remains open and expires June 26, 2028.
