Context note

The official roster establishes shared service on the same regional governmental body. It does not by itself establish agreement, coordination on a particular policy, or a private relationship among the listed officials. The October 8, 2026 counsel report expressly reserves policy, budget and material-contract decisions to WSCCOG's board. Possible re-procurement or alternate staffing was under consideration; a decision or outcome was not established by the agenda packet. Culver City's WSCCOG membership does not mean the City individually executed the Estolano contract.
