• Redondo Beach appoints Brian Regan as new fire chief (dailybreeze.com) — Redondo Beach has promoted longtime deputy fire chief Brian Regan to lead the city's fire department, succeeding retiring Chief Patrick Butler as of Sept. 9. Regan, who has served the Redondo Beach community for nearly 15 years, brings deep experience in emergency operations and local knowledge, while the city thanks Butler with a retirement celebration at the Main Library.
• South Bay History: Water resource facility in Carson vital for county's sewage treatment system (dailybreeze.com) — A key Carson sewage facility and its White Point ocean outfall once helped Redondo Beach and neighboring cities stop dumping waste directly on their own beaches, according to a 1949 Redondo mayor. This historical look traces how that regional system evolved, the DDT contamination crisis that followed, and ongoing tunnel upgrade work that still affects how wastewater from coastal communities is handled today.
• Santa Monica Dems Endorse Goldsmith for State Senate (smdp.com) — Redondo Beach leaders are among the local officials backing Brian Goldsmith in the 2026 race for State Senate District 24, alongside Santa Monica Democrats and other regional figures.
