ANNOUNCEMENTS Do any of my colleagues have announcements?
Thank you to all the residents who have signed up to participate in tomorrow
evening’s Homeless Count. Accurate, timely data on our homeless population
and where they live is a critical tool for our local governments, as we work to
secure and direct resources where they are most needed. Volunteers for the
Hermosa Beach count will be meeting in the Hermosa Beach City Council
Chambers and training will begin promptly at 8pm. Although we have reached
our volunteer limit for Hermosa Beach, volunteers are still needed in some of our
neighboring cities such as El Segundo, Torrance and Lawndale. If you have not
signed up, please consider helping out one of our neighboring cities by being an
official 'counter', driver or organizer. Learn more and sign up for the event at
www.theycountwillyou.org.
January 26th at 7pm: Manhattan Beach Community Church, in affiliation with
Congregation Tikvat Jacob Beth Torah and Pacifica Institute will host “Put Your
Guns Down”, a thought-provoking interfaith event to call for peace amid rampant
gun violence. The event will be held at Manhattan Beach Community Church, 303
South Peck Avenue, Manhattan Beach and will feature a live choral performance
by Tonality, a diverse community choral group dedicated to promoting peace,
unity, and social justice through choral music performance. A reception with
Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders and artists will follow where an exchange
of ideas and differing points of view will be welcomed. As Rabbi Hillel once
asked, “If not now, when?” Believing the time is now, “Put Your Guns Down”
offers an eye-opening evening for people to listen, think, ask questions, reflect
on ways to lessen gun violence, strengthen our shared humanity, air opinions in
a communal atmosphere, and as John Lennon sang, “...give peace a chance”.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Do any of my colleagues have announcements?
Thank you to all the residents who have signed up to participate in tomorrow
evening’s Homeless Count. Accurate, timely data on our homeless population
and where they live is a critical tool for our local governments, as we work to
secure and direct resources where they are most needed. Volunteers for the
Hermosa Beach count will be meeting in the Hermosa Beach City Council
Chambers and training will begin promptly at 8pm. Although we have reached
our volunteer limit for Hermosa Beach, volunteers are still needed in some of our
neighboring cities such as El Segundo, Torrance and Lawndale. If you have not
signed up, please consider helping out one of our neighboring cities by being an
official 'counter', driver or organizer. Learn more and sign up for the event at
www.theycountwillyou.org.
January 26th at 7pm: Manhattan Beach Community Church, in affiliation with
Congregation Tikvat Jacob Beth Torah and Pacifica Institute will host “Put Your
Guns Down”, a thought-provoking interfaith event to call for peace amid rampant
gun violence. The event will be held at Manhattan Beach Community Church, 303
South Peck Avenue, Manhattan Beach and will feature a live choral performance
by Tonality, a diverse community choral group dedicated to promoting peace,
unity, and social justice through choral music performance. A reception with
Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders and artists will follow where an exchange
of ideas and differing points of view will be welcomed. As Rabbi Hillel once
asked, “If not now, when?” Believing the time is now, “Put Your Guns Down”
offers an eye-opening evening for people to listen, think, ask questions, reflect
on ways to lessen gun violence, strengthen our shared humanity, air opinions in
a communal atmosphere, and as John Lennon sang, “...give peace a chance”.

January 22, 2019
Dear Council Members,
Subj: 2017 Plan-Hermosa failure to include CEQA truck-route environment impact analysis.
It is my hope that the council will come to its senses and commission a meaningful study to assess the
safety, health, quality of life and property rights impacts that the increasing number of heavy trucks are
having on our 27th street neighborhood and develop a comprehensive data-driven strategy for all heavy-
trucks in the city. I believe this should have been done as part of the General Plan but that doesn’t
matter. What matters it doing the right thing going forward. It’s not our mistakes but how we handle our
mistakes that usually define us. It is in that spirit that I offer the following:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) statute sets forth the process for preparing
Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) and more broadly, General Plans like 2017 Plan-Hermosa EIR.
CEQA provides detailed & specific guidelines for preparing EIRs.
Appendix G of the CEQA requires looking at environmental impacts including safety, the near-roadway
air-pollution effects of diesel trucks, noise & vibration; and the environmental impacts caused by
heavy-trucks are not excluded from the CEQA process.
The 2017 Plan Hermosa FEIR failed to assess the cumulative environmental impacts of heavy-trucks on
vulnerable roadways, the combined effect of past & present city-approved projects as well as the
impact of future downtown business expansion, commercial & residential land-use policies on truck
traffic in residential neighborhoods.
Attachment A. is a letter I sent to the Easyreader News that provide some specifics to back up my
claim.
Attachment B. shows pictorial evidence of the safety risks associated with using 27th Street as a de
facto truck-route.
As I have stated many times, Increasingly, 27th is being used to serve Hermosa Ave and Plaza Area
Business Delivery Trucks. The truckers simply don’t want to deal with all the stop signs and crosswalks
on Pier Avenue, unless they are also making a delivery on Pier Avenue itself.
And to make matters worse the city allowed Redondo Beach to install berms on Herondo Avenue, on the
Hermosa Beach side of the city boundary no less, that restrict & discourage heavy delivery trucks from
using Herondo to access Hermosa Ave north; by making the wide right turns impossible or at the very
least extremely difficult for large trucks. The trucks that have great-difficulty negotiating these city-
approved berms on Herondo include big rigs and large construction trucks like crane-carriers and 50 ft.
flatbeds hauling steel I-beams and other building supplies and so forth.
Even a 40-foot box truck has difficulty negotiating this turn without running up on the handicapped ramp
area of the sidewalk.
There are easy solutions to this problem. Remove the berms or remove the parking spaces that border
the berm area.
The Herondo berms coupled with the central business district restriction on heavy construction trucks on
Pier (HBMC 10.12.120B) and all the stop signs on Pier have left 27th Street to serve not only North
Hermosa’s Construction Truck traffic, but the entire west-side including both South & Central Hermosa
Beach.
So, both business delivery and construction truck flows within our city have been impacted by city
planned activities and the environmental impacts to 27th street have been significant.
27th Street has always been a busy residential-street and as a result it’s quality of life and property value
were slightly depressed relative to much of North Hermosa.
But historically the main impact to property values and quality of life on 27th was heavy automotive
traffic, NOT heavy-truck traffic & long-failing roads.
It’s time for the city to recognize that the residents of 27th have due-process rights under CEQA; and
give us the CEQA compliant analysis of the environmental impacts heavy trucks are having on
vulnerable roads, and to identify and select possible mitigations to the safety, noise, vibration and near -
roadway diesel pollution effects these large trucks bring to our steep narrow street.
Thank You,
Anthony Higgins
Attachment A
Letter to Easy Reader News
Reroute Pier Hotel Trucks
How could the Strand & Pier Hotel project-contractor have possibly recommended 27th Street for the
estimated 7,000 heavy-truck trips needed to build this hotel?
Pier Avenue is he truck-route meant to service downtown Hermosa Beach.
If the Pier Avenue Truck-Route were used there would be virtually no residential health or quality of life
impacts. The hotel project’ two to three-year burden would be placed where it belongs, on those
primarily benefiting from the hotel project; the business district.
If the Pier Avenue truck-route can’t be used because of Chamber of Commerce objections, then the
Herondo/Hermosa Avenue route would use roads that are flatter and wider than 27 Street.
Herondo does not border a heavily utilized park like on 27th Street (Valley Park), and on Herondo trucks
don’t run just inches from a steep, narrow and obstructed sidewalk. Moreover, the vast majority of
homes on Herondo are five to ten times further from the traffic and the consequent noise, vibrat ion and
near-roadway pollution.
Noise, vibration, and near-roadway pollution disperse at approximately the square-of-the-distance,
meaning even small distance differences have a large impact; e.g. a home 10 feet from the truck traffic
versus a home 50 feet from this same traffic experience significantly different negative effects.
Why wasn’t Pier or Herondo Avenue selected by the Pier Hotel Project Contractor?
The answer is simple.
The actions the city has taken on Pier Avenue, Hermosa Avenue, and Herondo have systematically
routed more and more truck-traffic to 27th.
The basis for this claim can be found by simply looking at the effects of all the stop signs on Pier
Avenue, the berms on Herondo that restrict heavy trucks from making wide-right turns and the recent
curb-extensions installed on Hermosa Avenue at 14th Street that restrict large trucks serving Hermosa
Avenue business from using Pier Avenue for egress.
These trucks now just continue up to 27th street and use Artesia Boulevard for egress instead of using
Pier Avenue.
Essentially, the city has created a de facto truck route on 27th despite the ‘Commercial Trucks over 3
Tons Prohibited” signs posted east and westbound since the mid-1980s.
And the berms installed on Herondo that prevent or discourage wide right turns by large construction
trucks, big rigs and crane-carriers mean even more of the largest construction trucks are using 27th’
street’s steep-narrow roadway to service commercial and residential construction jobs not just in North
Hermosa but South and Central Hermosa as well. And the truckers are doing this with impunity.
The city has not issued a single ticket to an overweight truck since the signs were posted on 27 th in the
mid 1980’s
To add to the confusion, the 2017 Plan-Hermosa EIR specifically excluded the 27th Street between
Morningside Drive and Manhattan Avenue from the EIR’s road-segment analysis section.
Why would the city exclude one of the busiest, narrowest, steepest road segments from a safety, near -
roadway pollution, noise, and vibration section of the EIR?
Once again, the answer is simple.
The city knew that 27th street could not meet the minimum acceptable safety standards for a truck -route,
but the city needed 27th as a new truck route to serve Hermosa Avenue and Plaza area businesses
given the changes made to Pier Avenue, Longfellow, Hermosa Avenue, and Herondo over the years
The omission of 27th Street from the road segment analysis in the 2017 Plan-Hermosa EIR from was
inexcusable.
This process-error may leave 2017 Plan-Hermosa EIR and downtown business development plans
standing on a “legal house of cards,” which, if pursued, could lead the courts to overturn the HB General
Plan.
Finally, Plan-Hermosa called for maintaining the cities small town beach appeal while promoting the
downtown business district. But that’s not what is happening.
The city government, the Chamber of Commerce and the downtown business district are in a feeding -
frenzy with new bed-taxes, tobacco taxes and now they want to turn downtown Hermosa into the next
great thing; a “must-visit” convention center location with all the amenities the beautiful beaches can
offer.
The problem is the Chamber of Commerce and the City Bureaucracy are feeding-on the resident’s
quality of life. And that’s not theirs to sell!

during the month will be donated for cancer research.

not invited to participate in the City’s drill in 2018.

Los Angeles County Fire Department provided safety tips some of which Mrs. Villanueva had
already included in the City Newsletter for November – Kitchen Safety and Change Your Clocks –
Change the Batteries in your smoke detectors. The firefighters passed out candy to the residents
on Halloween. The firefighters also participated in the Shakeout. All three shifts conducted
windshield surveys and reported possible damage to the incident commander.
2. POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT
Officer Faulk stated that the Police Department is working to update their vulnerable population list.
In addition, the department is trying to conduct additional community outreach. Officer Faulk also
stated that in addition to PATH services for the Homeless, the department has a program called
MET (Mental Health Evaluation Team). There is a mental health professional who accompanies a
police officer on a daily basis to address the needs of the homeless in the community. The mental
2
health professional is shared with Hermosa, Manhattan and Redondo Beach. In the event that an
incident happens in a City in which the provider is not currently in, the provider will respond and will
conduct their evaluation. The department is looking to expand this service and incorporate a
second MET team. It is important for the public to realize that the 9th circuit court has provided
various rulings on how to manage the homeless. If the police are called to an inciden t with a
homeless individual, and the person is not committing a crime, the homeless person will not be
arrested.
Chair Katz expressed her gratitude to the Hermosa Beach Police Department as well as the
Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach departments for assisting with the Vigil held to honor the
victims of the Pittsburg shooting. The Vigil was held in Manhattan Beach.
Mrs. Villanueva stated that Santa Sleigh will be happening again this year. Officer Faulk will provide

MATTERS FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION

3
9. Emergency Number Magnet
Mrs. Villanueva recommended that the approval of the final magnet design be held until the
January 7, 2019 meeting since the Police Department was in the process of hiring a new
Community Services Division Manager. Officer Faulk stated that the new manager’s name is Peter
Alhstrom and is set to begin on November 13, 2018. Mrs. Villanueva focused the discussion on
recommendation two: the approval of the distribution plan. There are a variety of free distribution
methods for the magnet which could be implemented immediately upon approval of the final
design. The cost of printing and distributing the document in the Easy Reader and Beach Reporter
would be about $5000 which is currently not budgeted. The goal is to request the amount in the
mid-year budget requests. Commissioner Al Benson motioned to approve the distribution plan and
Vice-Chair Dave Buckland seconded the motion. All commissioners were in favor of the distribution
plan.
Chair Katz recommended that the commissioners reach out to the Kiwanis, Rotary and Chamber of
Commerce to request funds for the project.
COMMISSIONER REPORTS
10. BUSINESS PREPAREDNESS OUTREACH – Commissioner Detoy
Commissioner Detoy shared the single panel brochure with a QR code he created. The goal is to
have the businesses use the QR code to get all of the resources needed to build an emergency
preparedness program for their business. The commission felt the brochure looked good.
11. Community-Wide Emergency Alert System –Commissioner Hallett
Commissioner Hallett was not in attendance therefore there was no report.
12. Promotion of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) – Commissioner
Buckland/Commissioner Skye-Davis
The South Bay Animal CERT team held two classes: an administrative training on animal intake
and An animal care basic training, both which were provided by Red Rover and held at the
Redondo Beach Police Department Annex. The trainings included a discussion to improve team
development.
Commissioner Skye-Davis completed the second equine response team training with Los Angeles
County Animal Care and Control. The two-day training was held in Agua Dolce and covered all
aspects of carrying for equine. Rancho Palos Verdes will be hosting the training in Spring of 2019.
Vice-Chair Buckland and Commissioner Skye-Davis along with members from the South Bay
Animal CERT team attended the Pets and People Disaster Forum on October 30, 2018. The
commissioners felt the event was amazing and brought many agencies and people together who
help animals in disasters. 65% of households have a pet and 50% of those households have
multiple pets. A lot of information was provided, and it is apparent that jurisdictions are
underprepared to manage animals in a disaster.
Chair Katz reminded the public to micro-chip their animals. And as a reminder, there were
numerous abandoned pets during Hurricane Katrina and it was challenging to reunite the animals
with their owners.
Commissioner Skye-Davis stated that she attended Al Muratsuchi Earthquake Preparedness
Townhall on October 6, 2018. The event highlighted the Torrance emergency communications.
Commissioner Skye-Davis stated that Communication and Transparency are critical. She stated
that she requested to have a discussion placed onto the November 5, 2018 EPAC agenda a
regarding the role of EPAC and the request was denied. She felt that EPAC should have an
opportunity to discuss the role in a public forum. She stated that she requested a copy of the staff
report or an overview of the staff report when the item was originally to appear before City Council
on October 23, 2018 and it was not provided.

13. Community Wide Emergency Preparedness Subcommittee – Chair Katz/Commissioner
Benson

meeting on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 with City Manager Suja Lowenthal to discuss their plan
for a Community-wide emergency preparedness program.

REPORT 19-0038
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of January 22, 2019
2017-18 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR)
(Including Report from Independent Auditor)
(Finance Director Viki Copeland)
Recommended Action :
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the 2017-18 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR), which includes the report from The Pun Group, LLP, the City’s independent
auditors.
Executive Summary :
For the 2017-18 fiscal year, the City again received an unmodified opinion, which indicates that the
auditor believes the financial statements present a fair picture of the financial position of the City, as
opposed to a modified opinion, in which the auditor “modifies” or limits his opinion for specific
reasons, such as lack of capital asset accounting, significant internal control deficiencies or non-
compliance with other Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements.
Since comparative information for the General Fund for 2016-17 and 2017-18 is not included in the
CAFR, it is presented in the analysis section. Some of the comments from the Transmittal letter and
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), located in the Financial Section of the CAFR, are
repeated herein for the purpose of having this staff report stand alone.
Overall, General Fund Revenue increased by 2.2% and expenditures increased by 1%. The year-end
transfer of unspent funds in the General Fund was made to the Insurance fund, since the net position
in the Insurance Fund was lower than the funding goal of $3,000,000 due to several settlements and
the recording of year end claims liabilities. The year-end transfer from the General Fund brought the
6/30/18 balance up to $2,516,161.
Background :
Annually, the City has a financial audit performed by an independent, certified public accounting firm.
The auditor’s report is located behind the second divider that is labeled “Financial Section”.
The report was submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) to qualify for the
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The City received the award for the
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/18/2019Page 1 of 10

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0038
2016-17 CAFR and has received the award since 1990. The award program requires a high level of
compliance with governmental standards, inclusion of information well beyond the general-purpose
financial statements and an unmodified audit opinion.
There were several new Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statements effective for
fiscal year 2017-18, however only GASB 75 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment
Benefits Other than Pensions had any effect on the City’s financial statements.
GASB 75, effective July 1, 2017, requires net other postemployment benefits (OPEB) liabilities to be
included in the financial statements for the first time. The July 1, 2017 beginning balance was
restated to reflect the impact. GASB 75 updates OPEB accounting and financial reporting standards
to be consistent with the pension standard in GASB 68. The main impacts to the financial statements
are the recording of the net OPEB liability in the government-wide financial statements on pages 21-
25, and enhanced disclosures to Note 10- Other Postemployment Benefit Plan on pages 77-80 and
Required Supplementary Information on pages 93 to 94. There is no impact to the fund financial
statements.
In 2014-15, the City implemented GASB 68 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pension and
GASB 71,Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date- an
amendment of GASB Statement No 68. While GASB 68 and 75 implemented changes to the
accounting and reporting of net pension and OPEB liabilities, neither impact the way pension and
OPEB liabilities are funded. Since the net pension and OPEB liabilities are payable over an extended
time horizon, they do not represent a claim on current financial resources.
Also, as a helpful reminder in reading the CAFR, the GASB 34 reporting model that was implemented
in 2002 dictates the following:
·Present financial information in specific formats, namely, the Government Wide Financial
Statements, beginning on page 21. These statements are designed to show net assets and
equity of the City as a whole and to provide information on the cost of services and show how
programs are financed.
·Requires Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD & A) to present financial highlights and
assess performance for the year.
·Requires reporting on “major” funds rather than aggregate fund types.
·Requires accrual accounting (in the Government Wide Statements) for all governmental funds,
meaning that long term assets and liabilities (such as capital assets, including infrastructure)
are included in addition to short term assets and liabilities. All revenues and all costs of
providing services are also reported, not just those received or paid in or soon after year-end.

13, established fund classifications based upon constraints imposed on the use of resources in
governmental funds. The primary initial impact of this classification change is that funds previously
held separately, the Contingency Fund, Compensated Absences Fund, and the Retirement
Stabilization Fund are now shown in the General Fund in the “Committed” or “Assigned” totals on
page 31, the Balance Sheet for Governmental Funds. The City’s policy for these funds shows on
pages 55-56 in Note 1 of the CAFR and the detailed amounts show in Note 11 on page 81.
Analysis :
Since comparative information for the General Fund for 2016-17 and 2017-18 is not included in the
CAFR, it is presented below. Some of the comments from the MD&A and Transmittal letter, as
mentioned above, are repeated herein for the purpose of having this staff report stand alone.
Additional information and analysis can be found in the Transmittal Letter starting on page v and in
the MD&A starting on page 7.
General Fund Revenue
General Fund revenue increased 4% over 2016-17, however due to a change in the way Utility User
Tax (UUT) revenue is reported in the General Fund for financial statement purposes only, the overall
increase was reduced to 2.2%. UUT revenue decreased by 3.1% overall, however the General Fund
shows a UUT decrease of 33.54%. See the Utility User Tax section for further explanation.

Taxes
Revenue from taxes generates 71% of General Fund revenue. The graph below tracks select tax
revenue sources over the past ten years.
Property Tax
Total property tax revenue increased 8.4%. The graph above shows secured tax, which increased
8% and unsecured tax, which increased 2.4% respectively. Hermosa Beach’s assessed valuation for
secured and unsecured property increased 7.4% overall. The 7.4% growth was the 9th highest of 88
cities in Los Angeles County. Median home prices in Hermosa Beach for June 2018 were
$1,740,000 as compared to Los Angeles County’s median price of $615,000. The average median
home price for Hermosa Beach for fiscal year 2017-18 was $2,026,432 compared to $1,830,667 for
the prior year.
Sales Tax
Sales tax revenue is up 9.2% from 2016-17 primarily due to increases in the Eating and Drinking
Places under the Retail Group and the overall Manufacturing and Wholesale Group. The primary
change in the Manufacturing and Wholesale Group is due to a home occupation business for
computer sales.

REPORT 19-0038
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
Transient occupancy tax continues to be up, increasing 1.8% over 2016-17. Hotel occupancy was
consistent with the prior year at 81.4% in 2017-18 compared to 81.5% for 2016-17. Revenue was
nearly $3.3 million, the City’s highest year ever.
Utility User Tax (UUT)
The City transfers $700,000 in Utility User Tax revenue annually to the Storm Drain Fund for
operations and maintenance. In 2017-18, the $700,000 transfer from the General Fund was recorded
as UUT revenue instead of a transfer in the Storm Drain Fund for financial statement reporting
purposes. UUT was down overall by $72,118 or 3.1% in 2017-18.
Licenses and Permits
The License and Permit category decreased 19% because of a decrease in taxi franchise fees due to
a reduction in the franchise fee from $1,100 per cab to $610 per cab and a decrease in the number of
cabs required per franchise. With new legislation passed that requires taxis to obtain permits only
where they are “substantially located”, the forecast for this revenue is uncertain.
Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and Forfeitures were down 7% due to a decrease in court fines/parking caused by personnel
shortages and a decrease in municipal court fines. When staffing issues occur, part-time personnel
will be used to supplement the existing staff. Municipal Court Fines have decreased as a result of an
increased use of diversion programs implemented by the courts.
Service Charges
Service Charges show an increase of 2.9% due to having a full year of revenue related to business
license application and renewal fees and the credit card processing fee, which were recommended
by the user fee study in 2016-17 and implemented December 2016. Ambulance transport, parking
meter and lot revenue, and public improvement plan check fees were all up over 2016-17.

GENERAL FUND
Expenditures show an increase of 1% due to the following:
·The Legislative and Legal decrease is primarily due to a decrease in legal fees in 2017-18.
Legal fees were up in 2016-17 due to oil and short-term vacation rental litigation.
·The General Government increase is mainly due to a change in staff allocation. The
Emergency Management Coordinator position moved from the Fire Department to the City
Manager’s Department due to the transition of fire services to Los Angeles County Fire on
December 30, 2017.
·The Public Safety increase is largely due to an increase in personnel costs in the Community
Services division and increased personnel and contract services costs in the Police
Department. While Community Services staffing issues have been ongoing, there was an
increase in regular and overtime hours in 2017-18 over 2016-17. Additionally, a new
Community Services Officer position was hired in conjunction with the increased parking
enforcement hours approved in March 2018. The Police Department had increased personnel
costs due to promotions and increased contract services costs related to a private security
contract for downtown. The increase in the Community Services division and Police
Department costs were partially offset by a decrease in fire services costs associated with
personnel vacancies during the first six months of the year, prior to the transition to LA County
Fire Services.
·The Community Development increase is primarily due to personnel costs. The allocation of
the full-time permanent Code Enforcement Officer/Fire Inspector position changed from a 50-
50 split between the Fire Department and Community Development to 100% to Community
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/18/2019Page 7 of 10

REPORT 19-0038
Development in 2017-18, the Building and Code Enforcement Official, Community
Development Director, and Planning Manager were no longer allocated to the Source
Reduction/Recycling Program, and there were staffing vacancies in the Assistant and
Associate Planner positions in 2016-17.
·The Culture and Recreation increase is mainly due to an increase in part-time/temporary
personnel costs. Hourly rates for part-time/temporary personnel were adjusted January 1,
2018 to align with the minimum wage increase. Additionally two new Recreation Specialists
were hired for Monday -Thursday office hours, in place of utilizing Recreation Leaders, and the
role of Lead Youth Programs Counselor was filled.
·The Public Works increase is primarily due to higher personnel and contract services costs.
The Associate Engineer position was filled a full year in 2017-18 in comparison to 6 months in
2016-17. There were also increased part-time temporary hours for the Public Works Intern and
Inspector positions over 2016-17. Both positions were added during 2016-17. Contract
services increased due to a new landscape maintenance contract and citywide sweeping,
steam cleaning and porter services.
·Capital Outlay decreased slightly over 2016-17 largely due to prior year expenditures related
to the installation of a solar photovoltaic system on the community center roof and equipment
purchased for South Park.
General Fund Unspent Funds
The policy of transferring unspent funds in the General Fund to the Insurance Fund, Equipment
Replacement Fund (ERF) and Compensated Absences Fund was implemented in 1995-96 to build
equity and provide funds for amounts owed to employees for accumulated leave. The policy was
changed in 1998-99 to discontinue allocating funds to the Compensated Absences Fund (since the
target amount was reached), to create a Capital Improvement Fund for street and other capital
improvements and to include a goal for Contingency funds in the policy. The Contingency Policy was
changed from 15% of appropriations for operating funds to 16% in 2013-14 in keeping with best
practices.
The City Council amends the policy, as necessary, when goals or targets are met and depending on
where funds are needed. For several years, funds available at year end were transferred to the
Insurance Fund to cover estimated insurance claims liabilities and the oil settlement agreement.
From 2013-14 to 2015-16, funds available at year end were transferred to the Capital Improvement
Fund. The 2016-17 and 2017-18 transfers went to the Insurance Fund to help cover the 2016-17 oil
settlement agreement and 2017-18 liability claims settlements.

Insurance Fund
The net position in the Insurance Fund is lower than the funding goal of $3,000,000 due to several
settlements and the recording of year end claims liabilities. The year-end transfer of unspent funds
from the General Fund brought the 6/30/18 balance up to $2,516,161.
Other primary expenses in the Insurance Fund are related to Worker’s Compensation and General
Liability divisions. Claims payments for worker’s compensation are higher by $13,028 and liability
cases are higher by $1,557,743 in 2017-18. The year-end liability is established annually through an
actuarial study performed by the Independent Cities Risk Management Authority’s independent
actuary. The total claims expense is higher by $969,531, primarily due the settlement of claims in
2017-18.

General Plan Consistency :
PLAN Hermosa, the City’s long-range planning document, was adopted by the City Council in August
2017, and envisions a future where “Hermosa Beach is the small town others aspire to be; a place
where our beach culture, strong sense of community, and commitment to sustainability intersect.”
One of the guiding principles to achieve the vision is to make decisions and take actions that help
contribute to the City’s economic and fiscal stability.
A focus of the Governance chapter in the General Plan is to ensure that decision-making and

leadership is conducted in an ethical, transparent, and innovative manner that reflects community
values. Goal 1 of the Governance chapter speaks to maintaining a high degree of transparency and
integrity in the decision-making process.
Other relevant General Plan policies are listed below:
Infrastructure
·1.2 Priority investments. Use City Council established priorities and the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) to identify and allocate funding for projects identified in the infrastructure plan.
·1.9 Preventative street maintenance projects. Include street slurry projects and other
preventive projects in the CIP each year, with sufficient funding.
Public Safety
·5.2 High level of response. Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and
provide desired levels of response, staffing, and protection within the community.
Fiscal Impact :
The 2017-18 CAFR provides a financial overview for the previous fiscal year. Audited fund balances

December 28, 2018
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council and Citizens of Hermosa Beach, California:
Presented herein is the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Hermosa Beach
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The report is intended to update readers on the status of the Citys
financial position and results of operations for the past fiscal year.
Management's representations concerning the finances of the City of Hermosa Beach are contained
herein. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all
of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these
representations, management of the City of Hermosa Beach has established an internal control
framework that is designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to
compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of Hermosa Beachs financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because the cost of
internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City of Hermosa Beachs framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial
statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Hermosa Beachs financial statements have been audited by The Pun Group, LLP, a firm of
licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable
assurance that the financial statements of the City of Hermosa Beach for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2018, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the
accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management; and
evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. The independent auditor
concluded, based upon the audit, that
there was a reasonable basis for rendering
an unmodified opinion that the City of
Hermosa Beachs financial statements for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, are
fairly presented in conformity with
GAAP. The independent auditors report
is presented as the first component of the
financial section of this report.
The City of Hermosa Beach is a
beachfront, bedroom community with a
stable population, located four miles
south of Los Angeles International
Airport. The City occupies 1.4 square miles and serves a population of 19,673, according to the States
latest population estimate. However as a beach city, the City experiences a high visitor population and
the associated costs. Due to this high visitor population, the City operates in many ways like a larger
city. During the 2017-18 fiscal year, beach attendance ranged from a low of 84,900 in February 2018 to a
high of 750,000 in July 2017, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Lifeguard Division.
The City of Hermosa Beach, incorporated on January 14, 1907 as a general law city, operates under the
Council-Manager form of government. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested in a governing
council consisting of five members of the City Council elected on a non-partisan basis at large for a four-
year term. Council members serve four-year, staggered terms, with an election every two years. One
member is chosen by fellow members to serve as Mayor for a period of nine months; one is chosen to
serve as Mayor Pro Tem. The terms of office for those elected in November of 2017 were extended by one
year to accommodate the election date change from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years
effective November 2022, as approved by the City Council.
The Council is responsible for, among other things, establishing policy, passing ordinances, adopting an
annual budget; appointing members to various City Commissions and Boards and hiring the City
Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and
ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and for
appointing the heads of the various departments.
The City offers a full range of municipal services, including police, fire protection (provided by Los
Angeles County beginning December 30, 2017), community development (planning and zoning),
cultural, recreation and parks, maintenance and construction of public improvements, parking and
animal control, and general administration. Financial information for the Lighting and Landscaping
District, the Lower Pier Avenue Assessment District and the Myrtle Avenue, Loma Drive, Bayview
Drive, and Beach Drive Utility Underground Districts are included in the City's financial statements as
required by governmental accounting standards.
Summary information from the May 2017 Profile of the City of Hermosa Beach, produced in 2017, with data
for 2016, by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), is shown below along with
selected information from the U.S. Census. The SCAG report is produced every two years, with the next
release in May 2019.
The U.S. Census Bureau Quick Facts are as of November 2017. Further data regarding the City may be found in the Statistical Section.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Hermosa Beachs financial planning and
control and is based on the Strategic Plan adopted by the City Council. All departments of the City of
Hermosa Beach are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City Manager according to a
budget calendar. The City Manager uses these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed
budget, which is presented to the City Council for review by May 15. At least one public budget
workshop is held prior to the required public hearing, with adoption required no later than June 30. If
the City Council fails to adopt a budget by that date, the budget submitted by the City Manager, as
amended by the City Council, if applicable, is the appropriated budget except for capital improvement
outlays. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and department (e.g., Police Department). The
City Manager may make transfers of appropriations between departments within each fund; transfers of
appropriations between funds, however, require the approval of the City Council. The City Council
receives monthly revenue and expenditure reports during the year and a midyear budget review is
conducted after the first six months of the fiscal year to ensure estimates are on target. Budget-to-actual
comparisons are provided in this CAFR for each individual governmental fund for which an
appropriated annual budget has been adopted. For the General Fund and major governmental funds
with appropriated annual budgets, this comparison is presented as Required Supplementary
Information on non-major governmental funds with appropriated annual budgets, this
comparison is presented as Supplementary Information, after the Notes to the Financial Statements.
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of Hermosa Beach
operates.
Local economy. Hermosa Beach is a bedroom community as evidenced by a household count of
+10,000 and an in-city business count of under 1,000 (excluding apartments and home occupations)
Hermosa Beach had growth of 7.4% in secured and unsecured assessed valuation, as compared to 6.0%
for Los Angeles County. The 7.4% growth was the 9th highest of 88 cities in Los Angeles County.
Median home prices in Hermosa Beach as of June 2018 were $1,740,000, compared to $615,000 for Los
Angeles County. The Hermosa Beach median home price for June 2017 was $2,025,000, compared to
$597,000 for Los Angeles County. The average median home price for Hermosa Beach for fiscal year
2017-18 was $2,026,432 and $1,830,667 for fiscal year 2016-17. Home values adjacent to the beach
increased for the eighth year in a row after declining 2009-2011.
As a beach city, the three highest occupations continue to be management, sales, and administrative
support, however residents enjoy access to a much more diverse employment base with the close
proximity of all of the other cities in Los Angeles County. The unemployment rate in Hermosa Beach is
2.2%, compared with 4.8% for Los Angeles County, and 4.5% for California as of June 2017.
General Fund Secured property taxes increased 8% in 2017-18, consistent with growth in assessed values.
Historically, property adjacent to the beach has held its value better and has grown faster as compared to
property in the other areas. Sales tax receipts for 2017-18 are up 12% primarily due to increases in the
Eating/Drinking Places and Building Materials category.
Transient occupancy tax (the tax on hotel stays) grew 1.8% over 2016-17. Receipts of almost $3.3 million
are the highest level ever. The TOT tax rate increased from 10% to 12% on January 1, 2016 as a result of
an initiative placed on the ballot by residents. Average occupancy for 2017-18 was 81.4% for Hermosa
Beach which is consistent with last years rate. Hermosa Beach has eight hotels and one youth hostel,
with rooms capacity ranging from 17 rooms to 96 rooms.
Utility user tax (UUT) revenue was down 3% last year but is still the fourth highest source of tax revenue
at $2.2 million. The largest source of the decrease was overall phone service.
Since the City was successful in obtaining voter approval (72%) for adoption of a modern UUT
ordinance in November 2007, revenue is protected as technology changes occur. The ballot measure
was intended to be revenue-neutral, in that the video and telecom rate was reduced from 6% to
5.5% to offset any new revenue received from new technology in those areas. The UUT as a source
of revenue has been very reliable.
Accounting changes. In 2014-15 the City implemented Government Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, which required net pension
liabilities to be included in the financial statements for the first time, and Statement No 71, Pension
Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date, which was essentially a
cleanup provision. Net pension liabilities of $49,464,514 were recorded in 2017-18 and the unrestricted
net position was reduced accordingly. The change in accounting standards impacted only the
government-wide financial statement, notes, and required supplemental information. There is no impact
to the fund financial statements.
In 2017-18 the City implemented GASB 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment
Benefits Other than Pensions, effective July 1, 2017, which requires net OPEB liabilities to be included in
the financial statements for the first time. Prior year balances were restated to reflect the impact. GASB
75 updates Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) accounting and financial reporting standards to be
consistent with the pension standard in GASB 68. Similar to GASB 68, the change in accounting
standards impacted only the government-wide financial statement, notes, and required supplemental
information. There is no impact to the fund financial statements. See Note 10 for more information.
As a matter of record, the following GASB statements are effective for the June 30, 2018 financial
statements, but have no impact. GASB Statement 81, Irrevocable Split-Interest Agreement, requires that a
government that receives resources pursuant to an irrevocable split-interest agreement recognize assets,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources at the inception of the agreement. GASB Statement 85,
Omnibus 2017, addresses issues that have been identified during the implementation and application of
certain GASB Statements. GASB 86, Certain Debt Extinguishment Issues, requires that debt be
considered defeased when a government places cash and other monetary assets acquired with only
existing resources in an irrevocable trust to extinguish the debt. For more information see Note 1, Section
Q- Accounting Changes.
National/State Economy. As of November 2017, the Legislative Analyst’s Office states that the State
budget is in remarkably good shape. Estimates project that the state would have $14.5 billion in the
constitutional reserve at the end of 2019-20. They do warn, however, in the next paragraph, that change
can occur quickly. They cite the example at the end of 2000 when the State’s outlook was that the State’s
position was very strong and yet, as a result of the dot-com bust and the ensuing recession in 2001, state
revenues declined precipitously and the surplus turned into a deficit of $12.4 billion for the upcoming
year. As always, the LAO points out that there are likely challenges, such as decisions by the federal
government that may affect the state, potential pension cost increases, and natural disaster costs, all
which could impact the State’s position. Beacon Economics reports in their Fall 2018 forecast that even
though the U.S. is on the edge of the longest economic expansion in the nation’s history, that has not
damped their latest forecast. Christopher Thornberg says “There is simply nothing out there at the
moment, whether it is the selloff in the stock market or rising interest rates, that has power or speed to
knock the expansion of its track.”
With respect to California’s economy, Beacon’s Executive Director of Research, Robert Kleihenz,
indicates that the newly elected governor will inherit a state economy that is in good shape right now.
To ensure its future economic vitality, California will need sustained labor force growth, which means
providing the education and training residents’ need for the 21st Century economy, and ensuring
workers can afford to live here by addressing the state’s housing problems.
California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). The preliminary CalPERS investment
return as of June 2018 was 8.6% and the funded status of the overall CalPERS fund increased by 3% from
the previous year to 71%. This estimate is based on a 7% discount rate.
In 2014-15, CalPERS Board adopted a funding risk mitigation policy to incrementally lower the discount
rate (assumed rate of return) in years of good investment returns. The risk mitigation policy was
subsequently suspended until the 6/30/18 valuation (FY 2020-21).
The policy is implemented gradually (by a minimum of .05 percentage points to a maximum of .25
percentage points when investment returns outperform the existing discount rate of 7.5% by at least two
percentage points). The policy is intended to offset increased employer contribution rates that would
otherwise increase when the discount rate is lowered and help pay down CalPERS unfunded liability.
On December 20, 2016, the CalPERS Board approved a change in the discount rate from 7.5% to 7% over
three years. This action does not impact rates until 2018-19. This change is expected to increase employer
rates 1% to 3% for miscellaneous plans and 2% to 5% for safety plans. Additionally employers will see an
increase in their current unfunded liability payments. Our independent actuary indicates however, that
the change for the first year will have minimal impact, which is good news. The City’s miscellaneous and
safety plans have side funds (which are liabilities that existed in 2003 when CalPERS “pooled” the City’s
plans with other cities of similar size) that are paying off from 18-19 to 19-20 and will help mitigate the
rate increases.
The City created a Retirement Stabilization Fund in 2003-04 to plan for anticipated rate increases. This
amount now appears as part of the “committed” balance in the General Fund in the amount of
$1,000,000.
Long-term financial planning.Prior to 2017-18, the City’s adopted financial policies addressed a range
of items including accounting and reporting, internal controls, budget, revenue, debt service and
investments. The policies are published in the budget and reviewed annually.
The City Councils adopted financial policies relating to long-term financial planning for specific funds
are as follows:
Insurance FundGoal of $3,000,000 in net assets for aberrations in claims
reserves and catastrophic losses.
Equipment Replacement FundGoal of net assets equal to the accumulated
amount calculated for all equipment, based on replacement cost and useful life of
equipment.
ContingencyGoal equal to 16% of the General Fund appropriations for
economic uncertainties, unforeseen emergencies.
Compensated AbsencesGoal equal to 25% funding for accrued liabilities for
employee vacation, sick and compensatory time.
The City also has a financial policy of transferring funds unspent in the General Fund at year-end to the
Insurance Fund, Equipment Replacement Fund, Capital Improvement Fund and to add to Contingency
Funds as needed. The City Council makes changes as necessary to the year- end transfer, depending on
the equity in the funds or based on other needs.
The transfer for 2017-18 was $1,577,889 to the Insurance Fund, per Council direction at the 2018-19
Budget Review. Funds were transferred to the Insurance Fund since the net position in that fund has
decreased as a result of several settlement payments made in 2017-18. With the transfer, the balance is
the Insurance Fund of $2,516,161, is closer to our adopted goal of $3,000,000.
Historically as part of the budget process, a five year financial forecast is developed and presented with
the Preliminary Budget and Three to Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. The Fiscal Health Model
is used as part of the forecast to present scenarios depicting the citys ability to fund each scenario.
Financial plan/five year forecast. A new Financial Plan, combined with the Five-Year Forecast was
presented to City Council on June 6, 2018 with recommendations that the City utilize master plans
presented in October 2017 to guide infrastructure planning for sewer, storm water and pavement
management projects; establish a practice of evaluating the prepayment of retirement contributions
annually; add a new Reserve for Capital Facilities funded by year-end fund transfers from unspent
funds in the General Fund; utilize the CalPERS side fund payoff savings toward stabilizing retirement
rates, with funds deposited into a retirement trust which restricts the use for that purpose only; place the
$1 million Retirement Stabilization Fund into the retirement trust to earn a greater return; move to a
level dollar payment for Fire CalPERS plans starting in 2018-19 since the City has now contracted with
the County of Los Angeles for fire services; approve the recommended additional financial policies and
consider increases to restaurant encroachment fees, street sweeping violations, and parking citation late
fees. All recommendations were approved except for increases to restaurant encroachment fees and
parking citation fines which will come back separately. The City is planning to have a revenue
workshop to review many sources of revenue, including those, in advance of the 2019-20 Budget.
Primary capital projects coming up, (other than street and sewer improvements, which occur every year)
include the Citywide Park Master Plan, Storm Water/Urban Runoff Diversion Project, 8th Street
Improvements, ADA Improvements, Downtown Strategic Plan Implementation, Restroom
Improvements (Clark Field, South Park, Pier, Fort Lots-of-Fun, and Seaview Parkette), New Corporate
Yard Facility, Municipal Pier Structural and Electrical Repairs, Community Center General
Improvements- Phase III, and Clark Building Renovations.
Cash management policies and practices. Temporarily idle cash was invested during the year in
obligations of the U.S. Treasury, corporate notes, certificates of deposit, the State Treasurer's investment
pool and the Los Angeles County pool. The average maturity was 60 months, with an average weighted
yield on investments of 2.1% Investment income includes changes in the fair value of investments.
Changes in fair value during the current year, however, do not necessarily represent trends that will
continue nor do such amounts necessarily become realized, since the City intends to hold the
investments to maturity.
Risk management. The City is self-insured up to $250,000 for liability claims. Excess coverage up to $20
million is obtained through the Independent Cities Risk Management Authority (ICRMA), a joint
powers authority consisting of medium-sized California municipalities. The cost of the insurance
depends on both the loss experience of member cities and the loss experience of the City.
The City purchases workers compensation coverage through a self-insured program available through
ICRMA. The City maintains a $500,000 self-insured retention limit and participates in a self-insured risk
sharing pool through the ICRMA, with excess coverage through Safety National Casualty Co., providing
coverage up to the statutory limits.
Claims defense and settlement are coordinated by third party administrators for both liability and
worker's compensation, with oversight by the Human Resources Manager.
Additional information on the Citys risk management activity can be found in Note 8 of the notes to the
financial statements.
Pension and other post-employment benefits. The City provides pension benefits to safety and non-
safety employees through the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). CalPERS
provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments and death benefits to plan
members and beneficiaries. The City was successful in negotiating two tier rates for new employees in
all bargaining units beginning in 2011-12. With the States pension reform implemented 1/1/13, the City
now has three tiers. As of June 30, 2018, the City has nineteen (19) active Tier 2 employees and sixty-six
(66) active employees in Tier 3. The City paid employee contributions as a negotiated benefit for many
years however in 2012-13 the City negotiated that employees would begin paying the entire share of the
employee contribution over three years with an offsetting increase in salaries, which was achieved as of
2014-15. All of these changes enacted reduce pension costs over time. City employer contributions are
actuarially determined on an annual basis.
The City also provides post-employment health care benefits for certain retirees. As of the end of the
current fiscal year, there were 62 retirees receiving these benefits.
The City established a trust with an outside party to administer these funds in July 2007. The City is
contributing the annual required contribution for all employees as determined by an actuarial study in
the manner as is done for retirement contributions to CalPERS. As mentioned under Financial Plan, a
retirement trust was approved by City Council in June 2018.
Additional information on the City of Hermosa Beachs pension arrangements and other post-
employment benefits can be found in Notes 9 and 10 in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a 2017 Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Hermosa Beach for its comprehensive annual financial
report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. This was the twenty-eighth consecutive year that
the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a
report must be published that satisfies both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the
GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services
of the entire staff of the Finance Department. We would also like to express our appreciation to the City
Manager and all of the departments, including the City Clerk and City Treasurer, and to our auditors,

7) Issue any notices of incompleteness, requests for information, or conduct or commission
such studies as may be required to determine whether a permit should be issued;
8) Require, as part of, and as a condition of completeness of any application, that an
applicant for a wireless encroachment permit send notice to members of the public that may be
affected by the placement or modification of the wireless facility and proposed changes to any
support structure;
9) Subject to appeal as provided herein, determine whether to approve, approve subject to
conditions, or deny an application; and
10) Take such other steps as may be required to timely act upon applications for placement
of wireless facilities, including issuing written decisions and entering into agreements to mutually
extend the time for action on an application.
b)Appeal.
1) Any person claiming to be adversely affected by the decision of the Director pursuant
to this Chapter may appeal the Director’s decision. The appeal will be considered by a Hearing
Officer appointed by the City Manager. The Hearing Officer may decide the issues de novo and
whose written decision will be the final decision of the City. An appeal by a wireless infrastructure
provider must be taken jointly with the wireless service provider that intends to use the wireless
facility. As Section 332(c)(7) of the Telecommunications Act preempts local decisions premised
directly or indirectly on the environmental effects of radio frequency (RF) emissions, appeals of the
Director’s decision premised on the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions will not be
considered.
2) Where the Director grants an application based on a finding that denial would result in
a prohibition or effective prohibition under applicable Federal law, the decision shall be
automatically appealed to the Hearing Officer. All appeals must be filed within two (2) business
days of the written decision of the Director, unless the Director extends the time therefore. An
extension may not be granted where extension would result in approval of the application by
operation of law.

Section 12.18.060 General Standards for Wireless Facilities in the Public Right of
Way.
Generally. Wireless facilities in the ROW shall meet the minimum requirements set forth
in this Ordinance and the Wireless Regulations, in addition to the requirements of any other
applicable law.
a)Regulations. The wireless regulations and decisions on applications for placement of
wireless facilities in the ROW shall, at a minimum, ensure that the requirements of this section are
satisfied, unless it is determined that the applicant has established that denial of an application would,
within the meaning of Federal law, prohibit or effectively prohibit the provision of personal wireless
services, or otherwise violate applicable laws or regulations. If that determination is made, the
requirements of this Chapter may be waived, but only to the minimum extent required to avoid the
prohibition or violation.
b)Minimum Standards. Wireless facilities shall be installed and modified in a manner
that minimizes risks to public safety, utilizes installation of new support structures or equipment
cabinets in the ROW only after all existing and replacement structure options have been exhausted,
and where feasible, places equipment underground, and otherwise maintains the integrity and
character of the neighborhoods and corridors in which the facilities are located; ensures that
installations are subject to periodic review to minimize the intrusion on the ROW; and ensures that
the City bears no risk or liability as a result of the installations, and that such use does not
inconvenience the public, interfere with the primary uses of the ROW, or hinder the ability of the
City or other government agencies to improve, modify, relocate, abandon, or vacate the ROW or
any portion thereof, or to cause the improvement, modification, relocation, vacation, or
abandonment of facilities in the ROW.

(a) The Permittee shall not move, alter, temporarily relocate, change, or interfere with any
existing structure, improvement, or property without the prior consent of the owner of that structure,
improvement, or property. No structure, improvement, or property owned by the City shall be moved
to accommodate a permitted activity or encroachment, unless the City determines that such
movement will not adversely affect the City or any surrounding businesses or residents, and the
Permittee pays all costs and expenses related to the relocation of the City's structure, improvement,
or property. Prior to commencement of any work pursuant to a wireless encroachment permit, the
Permittee shall provide the City with documentation establishing to the City's satisfaction that the
Permittee has the legal right to use or interfere with any other structure, improvement, or property
within the ROW or City utility easement to be affected by Permittee's facilities.
(b) The facility shall not damage or interfere in any way with City property, the City’s
operations or the operations of prior-existing, third party installations. The City will reasonably
cooperate with the Permittee and/or carrier to carry out such activities as are necessary to correct the
interference.
(i) Signal Interference – The Permittee shall correct any such interference within 24 hours

Permittee by reason of a wireless encroachment permit or the issuance of any other permit or exercise
of any privilege given thereby.
15)No Possessory Interest.No possessory interest is created by a wireless encroachment
permit. However, to the extent that a possessory interest is deemed created by a governmental entity
with taxation authority, the Permittee acknowledges that the City has given to the Permittee notice
pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 107.6 that the use or occupancy of any
public property pursuant to a wireless encroachment permit may create a possessory interest which
may be subject to the payment of property taxes levied upon such interest. Permittee shall be solely
liable for, and shall pay and discharge prior to delinquency, any and all possessory interact taxes or
other taxes, fees, and assessments levied against Permittee’s right to possession, occupancy, or use
of any public property pursuant to any right of possession, occupancy, or use created by this permit.

(a) The site and the facility, including, but not limited to, all landscaping, fencing, and related
transmission equipment, must be maintained in a neat, safe and clean manner and in accordance with
all approved plans. All graffiti on facilities must be removed at the sole expense of the Permittee
within forty eight (48) hours after notification from the City. The Permittee shall ensure that all
equipment and other improvements to be constructed and/or installed in connection with the
approved plans are maintained in a manner that is not detrimental or injurious to the public health,
safety, and general welfare and that the aesthetic appearance is continuously preserved, and
substantially the same as shown in the approved plans at all times relevant to the permit.
(b) The Permittee shall repair, at its sole cost and expense, any damage including, but not
limited to subsidence, cracking, erosion, collapse, weakening, or loss of lateral support to City
streets, sidewalks, walks, curbs, gutters, trees, parkways, street lights, traffic signals, improvements
of any kind or nature, or utility lines and systems, underground utility line and systems (water, sewer,
storm drains, gas, oil, electrical, etc.) that result from any activities performed in connection with
the installation and/or maintenance of a wireless facility in the ROW. The Permittee shall restore
such areas, structures and systems to the condition in which they existed prior to the installation or
maintenance that necessitated the repairs. In the event the Permittee fails to complete such repair
within the number of days stated on a written notice by the Director the City will engage resources

at the Permittee’s sole cost and expense to complete such repairs. Such time period for correction
shall be based on the facts and circumstances, danger to the community and severity of the disrepair.
Should the Permittee not make said correction within thetime period allotted the Director shall cause
such repair to be completed at Permittee's sole cost and expense.
(c) The Permittee shall keep the site area free from all litter and debris at all times. Each year
after the Permittee installs the wireless facility, the Permittee, if requested by the Director, shall
submit a written report to the satisfaction of the Director, documenting the then-current site
condition.
17)RF Exposure Compliance.All facilities must comply with all standards and regulations
of the FCC and any other State or Federal government agency with the authority to regulate RF
exposure standards. After transmitter and antenna system optimization, but prior to unattended
operations of the facility, the Permittee or its representative must conduct on-site post-installation
RF emissions testing to demonstrate actual compliance with the FCC Office of Engineering and
Technology Bulletin 65 RF emissions safety rules for general population/uncontrolled RF exposure
in all sectors. For this testing, the transmitter shall be operating at maximum operating power, and
the testing shall occur outwards to a distance where the RF emissions no longer exceed the
uncontrolled/general population limit.
18)Testing. Testing of any equipment shall take place on weekdays only, and only between
the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., except that testing is prohibited on holidays that fall on a
weekday. In addition, testing is prohibited on weekend days.
19)Modifications. No changes shall be made to the approved plans without review and
approval in accordance with this Chapter.
20)Agreement with City. If not already completed, the Permittee shall enter into the
appropriate agreement with the City, as determined by the City, prior to constructing, attaching, or
operating a facility on Municipal Infrastructure. This permit is not a substitute for such agreement.
21)Conflicts with Improvements. For all facilities located within the ROW, the Permittee
shall remove or relocate, at its expense and without expense to the City, any or all of its facilities
when such removal or relocation is deemed necessary by the City by reason of any change of grade,
alignment, or width of any ROW, for installation of services, water pipes, drains, storm drains, power

or signal lines, traffic control devices, ROW improvements, or for any other construction, repair, or
improvement to the ROW.
22)Abandonment. If a facility is not operated for a continuous period of 6 months, the
wireless encroachment permit and any other permit or approval therefor shall be deemed abandoned
and terminated automatically, unless before the end of the 6 month period (i) the Director has
determined that the facility has resumed operations, or (ii) the City has received an application to
transfer the permit to another service provider. No later than thirty (30) days from the date the
facility is determined to have ceased operation or the Permittee has notified the Director of its intent
to vacate the site, the Permittee shall remove all equipment and improvements associated with the
use and shall restore the site to its original condition to the satisfaction of the Director. The Permittee
shall provide written verification of the removal of the facilities within thirty (30) days of the date
the removal is completed. If the facility is not removed within thirty (30) days after the permit has
been discontinued pursuant to this subsection, the site shall be deemed to be a nuisance, and the City
may cause the facility to be removed at Permittee’s expense or by calling any bond or other financial
assurance to pay for removal. If there are two (2) or more users of a single facility or support
structure, then this provision shall apply to the specific elements or parts thereof that were
abandoned, but will not be effective for the entirety thereof until all users cease use thereof.
23)Encourage Co-location. Where the facility site is capable of accommodating a co-located
facility upon the same site in a manner consistent with the permit conditions for the existing facility,
the owner and operator of the existing facility shall allow co-location of third party facilities,
provided the parties can mutually agree upon reasonable terms and conditions.
24)Records. The Permittee must maintain complete and accurate copies of all permits and
other regulatory approvals issued in connection with the facility, which includes without limitation
this approval, the approved plans and photo simulations incorporated into this approval, all
conditions associated with this approval and any ministerial permits or approvals issued in
connection with this approval. In the event that the Permittee does not maintain such records as
required in this condition or fails to produce true and complete copies of such records within a
reasonable time after a written request from the City, any ambiguities or uncertainties that would be
resolved through an inspection of the missing records will be construed against the Permittee.

25)Attorney’s Fees.In the event the City determines that it is necessary to take legal action
to enforce any of these conditions, or to revoke a permit, and such legal action is taken, the Permittee
shall be required to pay any and all costs of such legal action, including reasonable attorney’s fees,
incurred by the City, even if the matter is not prosecuted to a final judgment or is amicably resolved,
unless the City should otherwise agree with Permittee to waive said fees or any part thereof. The
foregoing shall not apply if the Permittee prevails in the enforcement proceeding.
26) The Permittee is responsible for obtaining power to the facility and for the cost of
electrical usage,
27) Failure to comply with the City’s adopted noise standard after written notice and
opportunity to cure have been given shall be grounds for the City to revoke the permit.
28) The Permittee shall remove all non-operational equipment from any structure on which
it installs new equipment under the permit

2)No permit term extension. The City’s grant or grant by operation of law of an eligible
facilities request permit constitutes a federally-mandated modification to the underlying permit or
approval for the subject tower or base station. Notwithstanding any permit duration established in
another permit condition, the City’s grant or grant by operation of law of a eligible facilities request
permit will not extend the permit term for the underlying permit or any other underlying regulatory
approval, and its term shall have the same term as the underlying permit or other regulatory approval
for the subject tower or base station.
3)No waiver of standing. The City’s grant or grant by operation of law of an eligible
facilities request does not waive, and shall not be construed to waive, any standing by the City to

a)For breach. A wireless encroachment permit may be revoked for failure to comply with
the conditions of the permit or applicable law. Upon revocation, the wireless facility must be
removed within thirty (30) days; provided that removal of a support structure owned by City, a
utility, or another entity authorized to maintain a support structure in the ROW need not be removed,
but must be restored to its prior condition, except as specifically permitted by the City. All costs
incurred by the City in connection with the revocation and removal shall be paid by entities who
own or control any part of the wireless facility.
b)For installation without a permit. A wireless facility installed without a wireless
encroachment permit (except for those exempted by this Chapter) must be removed within thirty
(30) days of notification by the City; provided that removal of support structure owned by City, a
utility, or another entity authorized to maintain a support structure in the ROW need not be removed,
but must be restored to its prior condition, except as specifically permitted by the City. All costs
incurred by the City in connection with the revocation and removal shall be paid by entities who
own or control any part of the wireless facility.
c)Violation. Any violation of this Chapter will be subject to the same penalties as a
violation of Chapter 12.16.
Section 12.18.110 Infrastructure Controlled By City.The City, as a matter of policy,
will negotiate agreements for use of Municipal Infrastructure. The placement of wireless facilities
on those structures shall be subject to the agreement. The agreement shall specify the compensation

to the City for use of the structures. The person seeking the agreement shall additionally reimburse
the City for all costs the City incurs in connection with its review of, and action upon the person’s
request for, an agreement.
Section 12.18.120 Nondiscrimination. In establishing the rights, obligations and
conditions set forth in this Chapter, it is the intent of the City to treat each applicant or ROW user in
a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory manner, to the extent required by law, and with
considerations that may be unique to the technologies, situation and legal status of each particular
applicant or request for use of the ROW.
SECTION 2. The Director or his or her designee, is directed to execute all documents and
to perform all other necessary City acts to implement the effect this Ordinance, including the
promulgation of regulations to implement this Ordinance.
SECTION 3. CEQA.This Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378
of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. Most of the terms
and scope of City discretion are guided by existing State and Federal law. This Ordinance creates an
administrative process to process requests for wireless facilities in the ROW and the City’s discretion
with these applications is limited. The Ordinance does not authorize any specific development or
installation on any specific piece of property within the City’s boundaries, most of which will be
placed on existing infrastructure. Alternatively, even if the Ordinance is a “project” within the
meaning of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA on multiple
grounds. First, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the City Council’s adoption of the
Ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)). This
Ordinance creates an administrative procedure for wireless carriers to apply to place facilities in the
ROW, often on existing infrastructure. Moreover, in the event that the Ordinance is interpreted so
as to permit installation of wireless facilities on a particular site, the installation would be exempt
from CEQA review in accordance with either State CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 (replacement
or reconstruction), State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (new construction or conversion of small
structures), and/or State CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (minor alterations to land), as these

facilities are allowed under Federal and State law, are by their nature smaller when placed in the

feasible.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective and be in full force
and effect from and after thirty (30) days of its passage and adoption.
SECTION 5. The City Council designates the City Attorney to prepare a summary of this
Ordinance to be published pursuant to Government Code Section 36933(c)(1) in-lieu of the full text
of the Ordinance. The City Clerk caused said summary to be published on January 17, 2019 [five
(5) days before the adoption of the Ordinance] in The Easy Reader, a weekly adjudicated newspaper
of general circulation, published and circulated in Hermosa Beach. Prior to the expiration of fifteen
(15) days after the date of adoption of this Ordinance, the City Clerk shall cause the summary to be
re-published in The Easy Reader.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance,
shall enter the same in the book of original ordinances of said City; shall make minutes of the
passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council at which the
same is passed and adopted.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of January 22, 2019
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CITY CLERK SALARY ADJUSTMENT
AND CONSIDERATION OF NOVEMBER 2019 BALLOT MEASURE
FOR APPOINTED CITY CLERK
(Assistant to the City Manager Nico De Anda-Scaia)
Recommended Action :
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 19-XXXX adjusting the compensation of the elected City Clerk back to
its previous base salary rate as of June 9, 2015; and
2. Direct the City Attorney to bring back to the City Council the resolution required for placing a
ballot question on the November 2019 General Municipal Election, asking voters to change
the elected City Clerk position to an appointed office.
Executive Summary:
After 29 years of service to Hermosa Beach, City Clerk Elaine Doerfling will be retiring at the
conclusion of her current term in November 2019. The City has been fortunate to have had Ms.
Doerfling serve the City with such professionalism and distinction these many years. Ms. Doerfling
was uniquely qualified having had city clerk training and experience in other cities before she ran for
and was elected Hermosa’s City Clerk.
Due to the evolving nature of federal, State and local requirements and increasing complexities within
the field of city clerkship, the vast majority of cities assure that they have a certified professional
serving as city clerk by having an appointed, rather than an elected clerk. As she prepares for her
retirement from City service, Ms. Doerfling affirms that transitioning this role to an appointed position
is in the best interest of the City and its residents; therefore, along with the offices of the City
Manager and City Attorney, she recommends that the City Council consider placing a measure on the
November 2019 Ballot asking voters whether the City Clerk position should be an appointed office.
The base salary of the elected City Clerk has been adjusted multiple times on a temporary basis over
the years to account for changing duties within the City Clerk’s Department and increased
responsibilities associated with coordinating municipal elections. Circumstances have changed within

REPORT 19-0049
the office of the City Clerk since the last salary adjustment which merit readjusting the base salary of
this position back to the previous rate in effect on June 9, 2015. Resolution No. 19-XXX (Attachment
1) is, therefore, presented to City Council for consideration and adoption to make that adjustment.
Background :
State law requires every general law city have a city clerk, who may be either elected by the voters or
appointed. The City Clerk position in Hermosa Beach has been an elected position serving four-year
terms since the City was incorporated in 1907, as per California Government Code §36502.
City Clerk Compensation
Currently, the City Clerk receives a fulltime base salary of $77,616 with full retirement and health
benefits. Over the years, the compensation of the City Clerk has been periodically adjusted on a
temporary basis to account for additional duties and time associated with the City’s elections. The
last election-related pay increase was approved by Council on June 9, 2015 by Resolution No.15-
6967 (Attachment 2) for the term of June 16, 2015 to November 15, 2015 and equated to doubling
the Clerk’s part-time salary to compensate for fulltime hours that were anticipated leading up to the
City’s municipal election that November. Subsequently, at its July 28, 2015 meeting, the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 15-6989 (Attachment 3) updating the City Clerk’s duties and base salary to
fulltime compensation effective November 16, 2015. This compensation update was to remain in full
force until such time that the resolution was amended or repealed by the City Council.
City Clerk Duties and Responsibilities
The responsibilities of the City Clerk are enumerated in the California Government Code and in City
of Hermosa Beach Resolution No. 15-6989 (Attachment 3). The City Clerk’s duties include, but are
not limited to:
·Record and maintain a record of Council proceedings.
·Keep all ordinances and resolutions of the Council.
·Assure that records of the Council meetings and Council correspondence are kept in such a
manner that the information contained therein will be readily accessible and open to the public.
·Be the custodian of the City seal.
·Administer oaths.
·Take affidavits and depositions.
·Certify copies of official records.
·Conduct elections.
·Responsible for publication of official notices of the City.
·Receive all claims filed against the City.
·Assure compliance with directives, administrative procedures and policies.
·Coordinate, record and retain the Statements of Economic Interests of all elected and

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0049
appointed officials and staff, as required by the Political Reform Act .
·Collect and maintain all candidate Campaign Finance Forms, as required by the Political
Reform Act.
In addition to these basic, historic duties, the Legislature has assigned ever greater and more
complex responsibilities to the City Clerk over the years, particularly in the area of public records
management, an area that has burgeoned in the era of electronic communications. The City Clerk
also administers the City’s campaign finance ordinance.
Discussion:
Under State law, there are only three requirements individuals must meet to run for and serve in the
elected position of City Clerk: be at least 18 years old, live in the City and be a registered voter in
Hermosa Beach. The City is prohibited from establishing any other requirements or qualifications
beyond those listed in State law. However, due to the complexities associated with the position, it is
essential that the Clerk have all required certifications, training and experience.
In Hermosa Beach, as obligations under State Government Code imposed on the City Clerk have
increased over time, the City Manager’s Department has absorbed key responsibilities of the City
Clerk’s Department, including agenda management, general records management and coordination
of electronic document management systems, candidate and elected official orientations, public
information, and oversight of the City website and calendars. Additionally, in the summer of 2018,
City Clerk Department staff began reporting directly to the City Manager’s Department. Altogether,
the absorption of key responsibilities by the City Manager’s Office, merit readjusting the base salary
of the elected City Clerk to more adequately reflect current duties and oversight. Therefore, staff
recommends that the Clerk’s compensation return to its previous rate from June 9, 2015, and that
this change be adopted by resolution, effective through November 2019.
Elected Versus Appointed City Clerk
As noted above, under the elected clerk system, there is no guarantee that a future holder of the
elected position would have the necessary qualifications and experience required, since the only
statutory eligibility requirements for the position are to be a registered voter and resident of the City of
Hermosa Beach. When this position becomes vacant in November 2019 following the retirement of
Ms. Doerfling, given the small size of the City’s population, there is no assurance that a qualified
individual will be elected to the post.
Further, with an elected city clerk, the voters are the only oversight to ensure she/he dutifully carries
out the responsibilities of the job; the only review, therefore, comes via elections. Appointed clerks
undergo regular performance reviews and may be disciplined or terminated for nonperformance.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0049
For these reasons and others, the majority of cities throughout the state and the country have
appointed city clerks, hired based on professional standards for the position as well as experience
and credentials, rather than through a general election process.
According to available data from 2016, of California’s 482 municipalities, approximately 73% have
appointed city clerks (Attachment 4). Nationally, over 80% of city clerks are appointed with the
percentage of municipal elected city clerks continuing to decline year over year. In the South Bay
region specifically, these numbers are more closely split across municipalities. Cities of the South
Bay region address the appointment issue as follows:
CITY POPULATION CITY CLERK
ELECTED or APPOINTED
Carson 92,636 Elected
El Segundo 16,893 Elected
Gardena 58,829 Elected
Hawthorne 87,662 Elected
Inglewood 111,795 Elected
Lawndale 33,365 Elected
Lomita 20,403 Appointed
Manhattan Beach 35,488 Appointed
Palos Verdes Estates 13,663 Appointed
Rancho Palos Verdes 42,884 Appointed
Redondo Beach 67,717 Elected
Rolling Hills 1,895 Appointed
Rolling Hills Estates 8,184 Appointed
Torrance 147,101 Elected
Hermosa Beach 19,616 Elected
Making this position appointed will:
·Help ensure the City is able to appoint individuals to the position of city clerk that possess the
necessary qualifications and expertise.
·Eliminate the potential for individuals to be elected to this position that require duties that they
are unqualified to perform, which could cause serious problems for the City.
·Allow for continuous oversight of daily operations.
·Help facilitate more straightforward and effective management by having a city clerk function
in which all of the Clerk’s Department responsibilities are performed by in-house staff, as
opposed to the current arrangement in which some work is performed by staff and other work
by an elected official.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0049
For the various reasons outlined in this report, the City Clerk, along with the offices of the City
Manager and City Attorney agree that transitioning this role to a professional appointed position is in
the best interest of the City and its residents. It is, therefore, recommended that the City Council
consider placing a measure on the November 2019 Ballot, asking voters whether the City Clerk
position should be an appointed office.
Ballot Measure
The Government Code authorizes the City Council to submit to the voters the question of whether or
not to make the position appointed:
Government Code §36508:
At any municipal election, or a special election held for that purpose, the City Council may
submit to the electors the questions whether the elective officers, or any of them except
Council members, shall be appointed by the City Council; provided, however, that the City
Council shall not submit such question to the electors more often than once in an 11-month
period.
Government Code §36509:
The question shall be printed on the ballots used at the election substantially in the following
form: “Shall the office of City Clerk be appointed?”
The words “yes” and “no” shall be so printed on the ballots that the voters may express their
choice.
If a majority of voters approve making the position appointed, Government Code §36510 provides
that the City Council can, by ordinance, delegate its appointment authority to the City Manager:
Government Code §36510:
If a majority of the votes cast on the proposition is for it, the City Council shall appoint such
officers at the expiration of the terms of the officers then in office, and on a vacancy in any
such office. Such officers shall hold office during the pleasure of the City Council and,
notwithstanding Section 36502 to the contrary, are not required to be residents or electors in
the City. The City Council may by ordinance vest in the City Manager its authority to appoint
such officers.
(Amended by Stats. 1963, Ch. 509.)
Delegating appointment authority to the City Manager is recommended for the following reasons:
1. Selection of the next City Clerk would be handled with the same selection process already
used for other positions in the City to ensure a qualified candidate is appointed.
2. Since the City Clerk is responsible for coordinating and conducting elections and processing
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/18/2019Page 5 of 7
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0049
possible recalls, potential conflict situations that can occur when the City Clerk is appointed by
the City Council would be avoided.
3. Supervision and performance evaluation would be provided most effectively since most day-to
-day direction and oversight of City operations is provided by the City Manager.
Placing a ballot measure before the electorate is accomplished by City Council adoption of a
resolution that:
·Submits proposed ballot measure wording to the Los Angeles County Elections Official;
·Authorizes City Council members and/or other individuals (up to five) to file a written argument
regarding the measure, including providing for the filing of rebuttal arguments to the measure
in accordance with filing deadlines; and
·Directs the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the measure.
If the City Council places the recommended measure on the ballot this year and it is successful, the
change would be effective at the end of the existing elected term of the City Clerk in November 2019.
Next Steps
Direct staff to return to Council with a discussion item concerning future base salary of the City Clerk
position as of November, 2019. This matter should return to Council at the same meeting as the
resolution for a ballot question on the November 2019 General Municipal Election.
Summary
Whether appointed or elected, the City Clerk works for the people. The question is which selection
process would produce the most qualified person to hold the position for years to come. Over two-
thirds of California cities appoint its clerks, choosing from candidates who are professionals in their
field and making their selection based on experience and qualifications.
Staff, therefore, recommends that the City Council direct the City Attorney’s Office to draft a
resolution for City Council consideration calling for a measure to be placed on the ballot for the
November 2019 General Election asking voters if the position of City Clerk should be elected or
appointed. If so directed, staff would bring a draft resolution forward within the next several months.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency with the
City’s General Plan. Relevant policies are listed below:
Governance Element:
1.6 Long-term Considerations.Prioritize decisions that provide long-term community benefit and
discourage decisions that provide short-term community benefit but reduce long-term opportunities.
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/18/2019Page 6 of 7
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0049
2.6 Responsive to Community Needs.Continue to be responsive to community inquiries, providing
public information and recording feedback from community interactions.
Fiscal Impact :
Fiscal implications associated with the recommended action include immediate savings of $17,926
through the end of the Fiscal Year due to the reduction in base salary of the elected City Clerk from
full-time to part-time pay. Part-time pay for this position would equate to an annual base salary of
$38,808. The addition of a ballot measure to the November 2019 ballot has an anticipated cost of
between $5,000 - $10,000. If the ballot measure is successful, personnel costs budgeted for the
elected position would be applied toward the future appointment of a full-time permanent executive
City Clerk.

DUTIES, AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 15-6989
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed, and desires to modify, the compensation for

Re: November 2019 Municipal Election Ballot Measure(s)
Hermosa Beach City Council,
When considering and giving direction for a ballot measure re: the City
Clerk's position, it would also be a most-excellent time, long overdue, to on
'Other Matters City Council', additionally give direction to bring forth for
such future ballot measure(s) consideration, a two contiguous terms-limit
ballot measure for elected offices in city.
This could be two contiguous terms commencing with terms elected in
November 2019, which theoretically would allow any present member of
the council to also serve two additional terms beyond their present
term. Virtually every city in the South Bay has two-term limits, and has for
many years.
In my view this makes for better, more responsive/inclusive governance in
many ways.
Such measure is best placed on the ballot by a city council and with that
city council's full and honorable support.
Thank you.
Howard Longacre, Resident.

REPORT 18-0749
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of January 22, 2018
APPROVAL OF FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WEDNESDAY FARMERS’
MARKET AGREEMENT INCLUDING TERM EXTENSION AND
LANGUAGE UPDATES REGARDING MARKET VENDORS
(Continued from meeting of December 11, 2018)
(Community Resources Manager Kelly Orta)
Recommended Action :
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the fourth amendment to the Chamber of Commerce
Wednesday Farmers’ Market agreement, including the following changes:
1. Term extension to June 16, 2020; and
2. Updated vendor language to include clear guidelines on the composition of permitted vendors.
Executive Summary :
In September 2015, the City approved the addition of a Farmers’ Market on Wednesdays to be held
on Pier Plaza, overseen by the Chamber of Commerce. Since commencement of the market,
daytime patronage to the downtown area has visibly increased, which was one of the primary goals
of the market. During the first two years of the market, there were concerns among City
Councilmembers and staff related to the vendor mix, as the number of farm fresh goods and produce
vendors was not as high as initially anticipated. Through a series of discussions and work on the part
of staff, the Chamber of Commerce, and market producer Mark Anderson, the number of commercial
vendors has been gradually reduced, allowing for greater emphasis on farm fresh and handmade
goods; artisans; and hot and cold food vendors.
Currently, the market agreement between the City and Chamber of Commerce is set to expire on
February 27, 2019, and staff, along with Chamber representatives, desire to extend the agreement to
align with the Chamber’s separate agreement with market producer Mark Anderson. Further, staff
recommends additional language be added to the vendor composition section of the agreement in
order to provide a controlled level of flexibility in the vendor mix that is consistent with the positive
changes made throughout the past few years while allowing the market to be increasingly successful
in a highly competitive market.

Staff Report
REPORT 18-0749
Background :
In September 2015, the City Council approved an agreement with the Chamber of Commerce to
produce a weekly Farmers’ Market each Wednesday on Pier Plaza in an effort to increase daytime
foot traffic and patronage of local businesses in the downtown area. This market was in addition to
the longstanding market held at Clark Stadium each Friday. The Chamber of Commerce contracted
with Mark Anderson of “Farmer Mark”, a local company that oversees and manages a number of
farmers’ markets throughout Southern California, to produce this new market. Since then, the City
Council has extended the agreement annually and has approved minor adjustments to various
aspects of the market, including:
·March 2016 - approval to include a trackless train and acoustic music as part of the approved
footprint
·December 2016 - market hours adjusted from 11:00am-4:00pm to 1:00-6:00pm
The current agreement with the Chamber of Commerce (Attachment 2) is scheduled to expire on
February 27, 2019. The City Council authorized an additional two-month extension to the agreement
at its December 11, 2018 regular meeting. At that meeting, the agenda included consideration of a
proposed fourth amendment to the agreement. Staff requested that this item be continued to a
subsequent meeting to allow additional time to further clarify and define the proposed language
regarding the composition of market vendors.
Discussion :
Market Information
The Wednesday market takes place along the entirety of Pier Plaza as well as Parking Lot B, which
is dedicated for vendor parking. Use of this lot is charged directly to Anderson in the amount of
$202.50 weekly. The inclusion of the trackless train for children, which drives down the center of the
Plaza, and the live ambient music has contributed to a slight increase in the number of visitors and
local families attending these events. From the City’s perspective, this was a simple addition to the
market, in both planning and implementation, to increase its success.
As previously noted, the market was initially held between the hours of 11:00am-4:00pm but was
adjusted to 1:00-6:00pm, by request of the Chamber of Commerce, at the City Council’s December
12, 2016 regular meeting. This change was made in an effort to increase visitors to the market as this
allowed the opportunity for some to attend after normal working hours, which was not possible with
the original market hours. This change has helped to further increase overall patronage at a time
when the Pier Plaza and downtown area are typically not as busy.
Vendors
The market has been through several reviews and updates to ensure it is compliant with the City’s
agreement as well as representative of the kind of market that the community desires. Throughout

agreement as well as representative of the kind of market that the community desires. Throughout
these reviews, the Council’s main concern has been the mix and variety of vendors, and the
presence of commercial booths over produce and fresh food vendors, which continues to be the
preference. Since the first formal review of the market in 2016, staff and the City Manager’s office
have worked with Chamber representatives to make the appropriate adjustments to the variety of
participating vendors and to eliminate non-conforming commercial booths. As a result, improvements
have been made to the market’s general layout, the display of signage, and vendor mix consistent
with direction from the City Council. Additionally, the Chamber’s leadership continues to reaffirm its
commitment to ensuring ongoing oversight of the market so that access to existing businesses on
Pier Plaza would not be obstructed, and that the specific products sold would not be in competition
with those being sold by brick and mortar stores on Pier Plaza.
Agreement Updates
As previously stated, the City’s agreement for the market is with the Chamber of Commerce only, as
the Chamber of Commerce holds an entirely separate agreement with Mark Anderson for production
of the market. Both agreements were done independently of one another and, therefore, are not
perfectly aligned in their terms or conditions. This has made it difficult for both organizations to
ensure compliance with City requirements and provide a clear set of expectations related to general
oversight and implementation of the market. In an effort to align these two agreements while also
remaining focused on the improvements made to the vendor mix over the past few years, staff
recommends approval of a term extension as well as additional language added to the vendor mix
requirements in the existing agreement. The fourth amendment, reflective of the following
recommended changes, is included as Attachment 2 .
Term Extension
Historically, the City Council has approved the extension of the market agreement for one-year terms,
specifically to provide regular check-ins on the progress of the desired vendor mix and to ensure
compliance with the agreement. Extension of the term to the recommended June 16, 2020 provides
alignment with the current term of the Chamber’s Agreement with Anderson. Staff have been pleased
with the changes Anderson and his team have made with regard to the types of vendors showcased
in the market and are confident that these changes will continue through an extended term of
approximately 16 months.
Vendor Language
Currently, the vendor requirements in the City’s agreement state:
The EVENT shall consist of vendor booths selling fruits, vegetables and handmade goods
produced by area farms.
Unfortunately, the current language does not provide enough flexibility to Anderson and his team to
build upon the success of the market in a competitive arena where there are several markets in theCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/18/2019Page 3 of 5

REPORT 18-0749
build upon the success of the market in a competitive arena where there are several markets in the
immediate region (including another market hosted in Hermosa Beach on Friday afternoons at Clark
Field). Further, successful markets include handmade or commercial goods to provide a variety of
options and experiences for market visitors - not all of which are restricted to production at area
farms. Therefore, to provide a controlled level of flexibility while also aligning the vendor requirements
across the two agreements, staff recommends the following language to replace the final sentence in
Section I:
The EVENT shall consist of vendor booths with a market composition of:
a. Seventy percent (70%) of vendors that are farmers as well as purveyors of
prepackaged food. The market shall maintain a minimum of 6 farmers at all times
with exceptions for inclement weather and natural disasters; and
b. Thirty percent (30%) of vendors shall provide hot food and meals as well as
artisans.
Farmers shall be considered California producers of fresh fruit, nuts, vegetables,
flowers, honey, eggs, nursery stock, plants and livestock products including fish and
shellfish produced under controlled conditions in waters or ponds located in California.
In cases where the market composition is not achievable due to inclement weather or
natural disasters, the Event Producer shall make a good faith effort to adhere to them
as much as possible.
Should the vendor composition of the market be out of compliance and, in those cases,
not associated with inclement weather or a natural disaster, the Event Producer will
have 30-days to rectify to the satisfaction of the City. Failure to do so will result in
termination of this Agreement.
These added guidelines are consistent with the number and type of vendors currently at the market
on a regular basis and are reflective of the work Anderson and his team have done to provide the
vendor mix desired by the City. Further, this language provides the needed flexibility to successfully
manage the market throughout the seasonal fluctuations of fresh products and farmers. Considering
past concerns regarding the desired presence of farm products, the additional language addressing
the daily requirement for a minimum of six (6) farmer booths provides a level of comfort that their
presence is guaranteed barring extreme weather conditions or natural disasters. As previously
stated, staff has been satisfied with the response to and attention made to the selection of the
vendors participating in the market over the past several years and are confident that these will
remain throughout the term of the agreement.
Lastly, the additional language clearly defining what “farmers” includes is advantageous as it sets
clear expectations while ensuring that farm fresh products can include a variety of offerings that may
appeal to larger audiences.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of January 22, 2019
APPROVAL TO IMPLEMENT AN ANNUAL SKATE
PARK MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM AND RESOLUTION
ESTABLISHING AN ANNUAL SKATE PARK MEMBERSHIP
FEE AND MEMBERSHIP CARD REPLACEMENT FEE
(Community Resources Manager Kelly Orta)
Recommended Action :
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the implementation of an annual Skate Park Membership program; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 19-XXXX establishing an annual Skate Park Membership fee and a
Skate Park Membership Card Replacement fee.
Executive Summary :
The City of Hermosa Beach has maintained the skate park facility, formerly the site of two municipal
tennis courts adjacent to the Hermosa Beach Community Center, since 1999. It was one of the first
skate parks to open in Southern California. Currently, users of the Skate Park are required to sign a
daily liability waiver prior to entering; signature from a parent or guardian is required for minors. Due
to several instances of minors arriving at the park unattended and without a parent or guardian to
sign the liability waivers, the children were unable to utilize the park. Following a request by the
Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) as well as an
interest from staff to find an effective solution, staff researched its current recreation software and
found an option for creating a membership program specific to the Skate Park, eliminating the
necessity of the daily parent or guardian signature for all users. Staff recommends that through the
purchase of minimal equipment, the City Council approve implementation of the Skate Park
membership program and approve the resolution establishing an annual membership fee and a
membership card replacement fee for users of the Skate Park that elect to utilize the membership
program.
Background :
In 2018, the Community Resources Commission held a series of meetings where the use of scooters
in the Skate Park was discussed; scooters were not permitted in the park at that time. As a result of
these deliberations, several Skate Park use policies were discussed, including the City’s daily
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/18/2019Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0043
these deliberations, several Skate Park use policies were discussed, including the City’s daily
requirement for an authorized adult to sign the release waiver for any minor utilizing the park. This
policy has prohibited some minors from using the park in cases where their parents or guardians
dropped them off without knowing they would be unable to skate without the parent or guardian’s
signature. In response, the Commission directed staff to review this policy and determine if there
was a more efficient way for minors that may not have their parent or guardian present to use the
Skate Park.
Analysis :
The Skate Park is a staff-monitored facility that is open various hours, as outlined in Table 1:
Table 1: Skate Park Hours
Monday – Friday 3:00 – 7:00pm
Saturday & Sunday 12:00 – 7:00pm
Holidays and H ermosa Beach City School
District (HBCSD) Vacation Days
12:00 – 7:00pm
Although the Skate Park is monitored, the monitors are not charged with keeping custody of the
users. Parents or guardians, aware that staff are present, often leave minors unattended, resulting in
many children unable to utilize the park without a parent or guardian signature on the liability waiver.
Liability Waivers
In July 2013, the City began requiring the use of waivers for all those utilizing the park due to liability
concerns from having the presence of a Staff monitor. Out of an abundance of caution, the City
implemented the current liability waiver requirements, which require a parent or guardian to complete
the forms on behalf of all minors. Initially, these forms were valid for one year, but staff was unaware
of the high volume that would be collected. Quickly, it became clear that staff was unable to
efficiently maintain the forms for quick reference on a daily basis. Additionally, park users were often
frustrated by the amount of time it took for verification that valid forms were on file. Therefore, staff
implemented a streamlined approach that requires the daily signature on a sign-in form, affirming
their knowledge of potential for injury and the waiver language. Parents or guardians are required to
sign for minors. This process is still in practice today.
Membership Program
In an effort to further streamline the entry process into the Skate Park while also being mindful of the
requirements for valid liability waivers, staff began researching alternative methods that could be
easily applied and accommodate environmental limitations of the Skate Park. Staff discovered that by
utilizing the existing recreation software, Active.NET, staff could implement a membership program,
requiring signature on liability waiver forms on an annual basis. Additional software would not be
required for purchase although additional equipment would be necessary, as further outlined. While

REPORT 19-0043
required for purchase although additional equipment would be necessary, as further outlined. While
the parent or guardian would be required to be present at the initial visit for the creation of a minor’s
membership, the parent or guardian would not be required at subsequent visits within one year from
date of purchase. The execution of the release would be tied to the annual payment of the
membership fee. At the time the membership is created, staff would print membership cards unique
to each park user including their picture and membership expiration date. The user can then present
this card to the park monitor upon arrival at the park to be allowed to enter.
A Skate Park Membership will not be required for use of the park. While it will be available to
everyone, there will still remain the option for daily signatures on the liability waivers. Memberships
would be available for purchase during regular office hours, Monday - Thursday from 7:00am -
6:00pm. Since there is staff time associated with the creation of each membership account and
associated membership cards, staff recommends a $10 membership fee for cost recovery efforts,
charged to the Skate Park user. Additionally, staff recommends a $5 membership card reprinting fee
in cases where the card is lost or stolen. Records of valid memberships will be available in the
Community Center office where users can receive a paper printout, obviating the need to reprint
cards.
Equipment
Minimal equipment and training would be necessary to implement this membership program. As
previously discussed, the utilization of existing software allows staff the luxury of having prior
knowledge of the program to navigate it with ease and very little training. Supplemental equipment,
procured through Active.NET and required for implementation of this membership program, includes
the card printer, ink, blank cards, and a camera, totaling $1,673.10. This equipment is compatible
with current office computers and existing software.
General Plan Consistency :
This report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency with the
City’s General Plan. Relevant policies are listed below:
·Parks and Open Space Goal 1. First class, well maintained, and safe recreational facilities,
parks and open spaces.
o 1.5 - Evaluate community needs. Conduct a periodic review of community park needs
and interests to inform maintenance and investment priorities.
Fiscal Impact :
The necessary equipment to launch this membership program totals $1,673.10. Funds are available
in the Community Resources Department’s Contract Services account as a result of a cancelled
excursion and other activities due to low registration. The purpose of the recommended fees is for
cost recovery efforts including both staff time as well as the procurement and ongoing maintenance
of the required equipment. Therefore, the City does not anticipate this to be a large revenue source.
Anticipated revenues are difficult to estimate since this membership would not be required for all park

Anticipated revenues are difficult to estimate since this membership would not be required for all park
users. While staff maintains daily park use numbers, it is challenging to determine how many users
are returning each day versus those that may opt out of the membership.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of January 22, 2019
PURCHASE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES
(Acting Police Chief Milton McKinnon)
Recommended Action :
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the purchase of the following vehicles for the Police
Department:
a. Three (3) 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe utility vehicles to replace existing Chevrolet Tahoes, which
include the Watch Commander HB9 vehicle, and Patrol vehicles HB1 and HB5;
b. Two (2) 2019 BMW R1200RT-P motorcycles to replace two (2) Honda ST 1300 motorcycles;
and
c. One (1) 2019 Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck to replace one (1) Ford Ranger P/U truck for
Parking Enforcement.
Executive Summary :
The City of Hermosa Beach is committed to providing first-class public safety services to both City
residents and visitors. Part of this commitment is the availability of emergency response vehicles for
the Police Department. The department’s fleet, currently, has six vehicles due for replacement in
fiscal year 2018-19; three (3) Chevrolet Tahoes, which include the Watch Commander HB9, and
Patrol HB1 and HB5; two (2) Honda ST 1300 motorcycles for traffic enforcement; and one (1) Ford
Ranger P/U for parking enforcement. Staff recommends the purchase of three (3) 2019 Chevrolet
Tahoe utility vehicles, two (2) BMW motorcycles and one (1) Toyota Tacoma P/U truck to complete
this replacement. Staff has diligently evaluated the City’s clean fleet policy and the department’s
operational needs to select the most cost and fuel-efficient vehicles currently available for law
enforcement operations. Staff prioritizes selections based on reliable, safe and effective vehicles for
emergency response.
Background :
Police Department vehicles are part of the inventory in the City’s Equipment Replacement Schedule.
The current replacement timeline for the Watch Commander vehicle is five years and six years for
patrol vehicles. Prior to the economic downturn that began in 2008, Police Department vehicles were
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/18/2019Page 1 of 8
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0045
replaced every four years. Due to the different facets of police work, the overall condition of law
enforcement vehicles cannot be assessed by years of service or mileage. Hermosa’s unique
demands and type of roadways are strenuous on the vehicles due to constant acceleration, braking,
natural elements, hills and engine run time. As an example, a typical vehicle driven by the California
Highway Patrol (CHP) would have significantly higher mileage with longer replacement schedules
due to the type of terrain in which they drive. A CHP officer may average 100-300 miles per shift on
long stretches of highway without stop signs or traffic signals. These miles are easier on a vehicle
due to less aggressive acceleration and harsh braking. In comparison, a Hermosa Beach police
officer’s average mileage is typically 10-50 miles per shift. While the mileage is drastically less, the
vehicle is navigated through tight roadways with a vast amount of turns, hills, stop signs, traffic
signals, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic, and is rarely shut off during a shift.
In order to deliver essential public safety services to the residents of Hermosa Beach, staff continues
to recommend the City return to four years as the ideal replacement cycle for patrol vehicles and
three years for a Watch Commander vehicle. The extended replacement period has proven to be
detrimental to the operating costs and overall reliability of vehicles that are depended upon for
emergency services. As a reference, the Manhattan Beach Police Department replaces patrol
vehicles every four years and the Redondo Beach Police Department replaces patrol vehicles every
three years. Additionally, a shorter replacement schedule would save operating costs through a
combination of lower repair bills, fuel costs, and higher revenues when the vehicles are sold at the
end of their shorter life cycles.
Furthermore, the fiscal delay of vehicle replacements in years 2009-2011 resulted in numerous
vehicles due for replacement during the same fiscal year(s). Between fiscal years 2016-17 and 2017-
18, there were approximately 18 vehicles due for replacement. In order to mitigate the financial
impact of replacing these vehicles in such a short period of time, staff proposed a phasing process of
vehicle replacements to strategically plan the replacement of four to five vehicles each year,
prioritizing by the Department’s needs. This phasing began in fiscal year 2017-18 and was again
implemented for fiscal year 2018-19 during the regular budget process.
Following discussions with the Interim City Manager, Finance Director, Environmental Analyst, and
Department staff, the City Council approved the replacement of the following vehicles with the 2018-
19 budget adoption, which took place on June 12, 2018 (Report 18-0369

Analysis :
The City Council adopted a Clean Fleet Policy and Action Plan on June 11, 2013, with a goal of net
zero greenhouse gas emissions for the City fleet and alternative fuels for 100% of contracted City
service vehicles. Staff takes into consideration both the policy and operational requirements when
selecting vehicles to purchase. Department vehicles must adhere to several performance
specifications, including Certification/Pursuit rated, range, performance, reliability, and size.
The Police Department has made every effort to select vehicles when appropriate that adhere to the
City’s policy. Currently, all unmarked administrative vehicles have a hybrid gas/electric engine. These
vehicles are not required to be “pursuit” rated but are still equipped with a siren and emergency
lighting. However, the department’s vehicle options are limited by lack of available full-
electric/alternative-fuel when purchasing frontline police patrol and response vehicles or unmarked
detective vehicles. Currently, there are no alternative fuel options that can handle the rigorous
demands of a frontline patrol vehicle. All hybrids, electric, CNG, hydrogen, and biodiesel vehicles
have been explored as potential patrol vehicles; however, there are limitations, restrictions and
failures when these types of vehicles are tested. As an example, in an attempt to utilize a hybrid
vehicle for patrol purposes, the department agreed to purchase a Toyota Highlander Hybrid and
deployed its use as a beach patrol vehicle. The department has experienced several issues related
to the vehicle’s performance and has difficulty keeping the battery charged. The vehicle routinely
needs to be jump-started with a portable charging device. Additionally, there are no fuel savings from
the hybrid system due to the constant running of the engine. The demands placed on the vehicle
from electronics, heating, and air conditioning provide limited use of the electric hybrid system and

ultimately drain the battery. This demonstrates how some vehicles are inadequate for use as an
emergency response vehicle. Staff is working on repurposing this vehicle as a non-emergency
response vehicle in another division.
Five of the vehicles scheduled for replacement this fiscal year are frontline police patrol and response
vehicles; one of which is strictly deployed as a Watch Commander vehicle. This vehicle is utilized
every shift, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In an effort to standardize the department’s
fleet, staff has made efforts to replace patrol vehicles with Ford Explorer Interceptor Utilities (SUV)
because of Ford terminating the production of the Crown Victoria Police vehicle. However, Ford is,
currently, unable to fulfill the high demand for public safety vehicle requests and no longer has the
2018 Ford Explorers available for purchase. Ford has taken the drastic step of canceling a significant
number of orders for 2018 Explorers pending the release of a redesigned 2020 model; the company
is not manufacturing a 2019 Explorer.
The earliest estimation for ordering and receiving a 2020 model is late July-August 2019. It is
anticipated that several police agencies in Los Angeles County will be ordering this vehicle when it
hits the market, which would likely result in delayed deliveries. The average time for delivery once an
order is placed by the dealership is 90-120 days. An additional build time to have the vehicle painted,
badged and lighting installed is approximately 4-6 weeks depending on scheduling. This delay would
prevent current vehicles due for replacement from being in service until Winter 2019 and possibly
later. For this reason, staff recommends replacing the two patrol Chevrolet Tahoes and the Watch
Commander vehicle due for replacement with same model vehicles. Chevrolet Tahoes, currently,
meet the department’s operational requirements and are readily available for purchase.
The Police Department is choosing at this time to delay the purchase of a canine vehicle. The
department is in the process of acquiring a new dog and selecting a handler. The anticipated time to
train and place a dog into service is several months. As to the scheduled replacement of the K-9
vehicle (HB4 Crown Victoria), staff would recommend the purchase of a Ford Explorer for this
assignment. The delay in placing a dog into service, coupled with the extended timeframe for Ford to
produce a 2020 model Explorer, allows staff to reassess this vehicle in early spring 2019. If needed,
staff would re-appropriate existing funds for the purchase of this vehicle in FY 2019-2020.
Staff requests that Council authorize the purchase of three (3) 2019 Chevrolet Tahoes to replace the
three existing Chevrolet Tahoes. This purchase would be made from the National Auto Fleet Group, a
division of Chevrolet of Watsonville, California, as part of the Sourcewell master vehicle contract
order (#120716-NAF). The purchase price for three (3) Chevrolet Tahoes is $124,921.95 including all
applicable taxes and fees (Attachment 1 ).
Although the Chevrolet Tahoe is a slightly larger vehicle than the Ford Explorer, it has nearly identical
mile-per-gallon ratio and received the same rating for Greenhouse Gas and smog emissions by the
California Air Resources Board’s DriveClean.ca.gov website (Attachment 2 ). The 2019 Chevrolet

Tahoe comes with a 5.3L V8 EcoTec3 Flex Fuel, energy efficient engine. These vehicles are
competently built; however, as with all vehicles used by the Police Department, they would require
several safety and lighting modifications for their use as standard Patrol vehicles. Lighting and safety
equipment is purchased and installed by the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority
(SBRPCA), in Hawthorne, California. The City of Hermosa Beach is a contract member of the
SBRPCA; thus, able to procure and have this equipment installed by the SBRPCA at a reduced cost.
Per SBRPCA, the cost to purchase and install the necessary equipment for two of the 2019
Chevrolet Tahoes, which would be used in the patrol division, is approximately $23,072.70. This
includes standard Police transport cages, push bumper, center console, and emergency equipment
(PA, Siren, Lighting, storage/utility box, etc.). Some equipment from the existing Tahoes can be
utilized to mitigate costs. However, as all models of vehicles are updated and redesigned by the
manufacturers, some of the existing parts are not transferable.
Since the Watch Commander vehicle serves the dual purpose as a patrol vehicle and Incident
Command Post, it would require additional equipment for emergency response as an incident
command vehicle. Additionally, in the event the Emergency Operations Center (E.O.C) is unusable,
the Watch Commander vehicle would likely become the E.O.C. command post. The vehicle can be
moved at any time due to emergency conditions or threats.
The current and previous Watch Commander’s vehicle was built according to storage and technology
demands from the early 2000s. The department’s current needs have outgrown the current storage
solutions. As such, staff recommends removing the vehicle’s rear seat and installing a custom
storage and utility cabinet to accommodate and secure the additional gear. To facilitate the next
generation of Watch Commander vehicle, staff contacted an additional lighting and safety equipment
vendor,911Vehicle, to provide specific command vehicle installations. 911Vehicle designs, engineers
and provides installations of emergency vehicle equipment that exceeds standard police vehicle
construction. This vendor is a leader in this type of vehicle and has been contracted to build vehicles
by several neighboring police and fire agencies including the City of Manhattan Beach.
The cost to purchase and install the necessary equipment for the 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe Watch
Commander vehicle would be approximately $36,000 (Attachment 3 ). 911Vehicle offers a custom
command desk/box that provides sliding access to storage, magnetic dry erase boards, charging
ports, a 32-inch monitor with local television access for viewing data, news and displaying satellite
maps. The command box provides a pull-out work surface and plexiglass panel for map underlay and
hinged storage for hard maps. Additionally, a portable radio battery charging system, rear-facing
MDC tablet, 110v plug, and secured storage would also be installed. Pictures of the equipment
installed on Buena Park Police Department’s vehicle are included as Attachment 4 for reference.
The rear seat of the vehicle would be removed to accommodate electronics, radios, and computer
operating equipment. Removal of the seat would allow for extra storage and is needed for the

significant amount of equipment carried by the Watch Commander. The current vehicle configuration
does not have any storage or space to secure all equipment. 911Vehicle would provide a storage and
electronics system that would provide a transition from a Watch Commander vehicle with limited
capabilities to a complete mobile command vehicle. The custom storage system developed by
911Vehicle would provide years of service and is expected to last the entire life of the vehicle. The
system, expected to last 10 or more years, is transferrable and can be installed into the next Watch
Commander vehicle purchase. Upgrades or replacing existing electronics can be made pending their
development and implementation. With advancing technology and continual developments in the law
enforcement field, staff believes this is a cost-effective approach to outfitting this multi-purpose
vehicle.
In the 2018-19 Budget staff recommended the replacement of the Watch Commander’s Chevrolet
Tahoe with a Ford F-150 Responder truck due to increased storage capabilities. However, later in the
year staff learned of 911Vehicle’s solutions for designated command vehicles. After careful review of
available options between an equipped F150 and reconfigured Chevrolet Tahoe, which included
maximized storage capacities, staff determined that the Chevrolet Tahoe best meets the
department’s needs for the Watch Commander vehicle. Thus, staff recommends the replacement of
the Watch Commander vehicle with another Tahoe, instead of the originally recommend F150 truck.
In addition to the three (3) Chevrolet Tahoes, staff also recommends the purchase of two BMW
R1200RT-P motorcycles for traffic enforcement. The BMWs would replace two Honda ST1300
motorcycles, which have exceeded their service life. Since Honda discontinued its police model
motorcycles last year, staff evaluated other options from the available police manufacturers, including
Harley Davidson and BMW. Harley Davidson motorcycles were not selected due to lack of safety
features and handling characteristics. Staff selected the BMW due to its safety features, specifically
anti-lock braking, traction control, and tire pressure monitoring. These key safety features are
significant to the rider’s safety. The BMW is competently equipped from the factory with emergency
lighting, including take-down lights, alley lights, handlebar switch system and a power management
system for accessories. This negates the necessity to have the components and emergency
equipment installed from a vendor. BMW includes oil change interval service and is backed by a
three year, 60,000-mile limited warranty. The department, currently, has a BMW in its fleet, which has
provided excellent service and reliability without any noted deficiencies.
This purchase would be made from Long Beach BMW motorcycle as part of the Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s contract PO-SH-15323008-1. The purchase price for two BMW motorcycles is $63,878.06
including all applicable taxes and fees (Attachment 5 ).
Staff recommends that Council authorize staff to purchase one (1) 2019 Toyota Tacoma P/U to
replace one (1) existing Ford Ranger P/U. This purchase would be made from the National Auto Fleet
Group, a division of Chevrolet of Watsonville, California, as part of the Sourcewell master vehicle
contract order (#120716-NAF). The purchase price for one (1) Toyota Tacoma is $33,218.11

including all applicable taxes and fees. Per SBRPCA, the cost to purchase and install the necessary
equipment for the 2019 Toyota Tacoma, which would be used by parking enforcement, is
approximately $2,872.66. This includes standard lighting, associated controls, and installation.
The total price to purchase and properly outfit the three (3) Chevrolet Tahoes, two (2) BMW
motorcycles and one (1) Toyota Tacoma is approximately $286,363.48

General Plan Consistency :
PLAN Hermosa was adopted by the City Council in August 2017 to provide a set of goals, policies,
and implementations actions needed to achieve the City’s long-term vision. Collectively, City staff and
the community strive to meet these goals through various initiatives and implementation actions. Part
of those initiatives is the implementation of a Clean Fleet policy providing guidelines for purchasing
vehicles that are cost-effective and more efficient. The department’s recommendation provides the
most practical replacement for first-class delivery of public safety services while also addressing the
following goals:
Governance Element
·1.3 Priority-based budgeting. Utilize priority-based budgeting to ensure funding allocations are
consistent with the priorities set by the community and City Council.
·1.6 Long-term considerations. Prioritize decisions that provide long-term community benefit
and discourage decisions that provide short-term community benefit but reduce long-term
opportunities.

REPORT 19-0045
Mobility
·7.6 Pro-active traffic enforcement. Conduct pro-active traffic enforcement along streets where
high collision rates, high speeds, and other unsafe behaviors are reported.
Public Safety
·5.2 High level of response. Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and
provide desired levels of response, staffing, and protection within the community.
Fiscal Impact :
Council approved the Police Department’s budgeted request of $281,400 in the FY 2018/2019
budget for the replacement of these vehicles. Due to increased vehicle and emergency equipment
costs, the total amount of $286,363.48 needed to purchase these vehicles is slightly higher than the
budgeted funds. In order to acquire vehicles and equipment that best meet the department’s needs,
staff recommends using $4,963.48 of available funds in the Equipment Replacement Fund due to the
delay of purchasing a K-9 vehicle.

COUNCILMEMBER FANGARY REPORTS ON HIS
ATTENDANCE AT THE CALIFORNIA CONTRACT
CITIES ASSOCIATION LEGISLATIVE TOUR IN
SACRAMENTO FROM JANUARY 7-9, 2019
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 1/18/2019Page 1 of 1

President's Message
Dear CCCA Friends and Colleagues,
The California Contract Cities Association (CCCA) hosted another
successful Sacramento Legislative Tour (SLOT) from January 7-9,
2019. This was CCCA's 52nd year welcoming nearly 100 mayors,
councilmembers, and senior city staffers to Sacramento to advocate
for our member cities and to work toward strengthening local control.
Our delegation focused on CCCA's 2019 Legislative Priorities which
provide a framework for our position on legislation that would impact
issue areas, ranging from community choice aggregation,
housing/homelessness, taxation, and public safety. More information
about CCCA's 2019 Legislative Priorities can be found here.
On January 7 (Monday), CCCA gathered at the State Capitol for a
number of briefing sessions, including a panel discussion with State
Senator Scott Wiener (D-11) to discuss his bill, SB 50. SB 50, a
revised version of last year's most contentious housing bill, SB 827,
would authorize a housing developer maximum controls on density
and limit parking requirements in proximity to major transit stops
and job-rich areas. Noting the author's intent to reintroduce a
housing density bill, CCCA collaborated with Sen. Wiener,
Thaddeus McCormack, City Manager of Lakewood, and Juan
Garza, Contract Cities' Legislative Chair, to discuss SB 50 from a
local's perspective on density, such as concerns regarding the
reliability of transit schedules, passenger capacity, CEQA
reforms, and strains to public
services. The discussion was well-received from both the
delegation and Senator Wiener, helping bridge the dialogue
that was lost during the discussion's in last year's bill.
Senator Wiener expressed his commitment to working with
the Association on SB 50 in the coming months.
The delegation also received early introductions to proposed
legislation concerning housing (SB 4, SB 6, SB 50) and a
new tax-increment financing tool, better known as
redevelopment 2.0 (AB 11, SB 5). Speakers included
Senator Anthony Portantino, committee consultants from Assembly Housing and
Community Development, Assembly Communications and Conveyance, and Assembly
Local Government. The Legislative Committee will review these bills in the coming
months.
On January 8 (Tuesday), the delegation participated in
over forty-six small group meetings with legislative
offices that represent the entirety of CCCA. Members
cities shared three key talking points important to
CCCA's 2019 Legislative Priorities: local control,
housing/homelessness, and public safety. CCCA
wrapped up Tuesday's activities with a luncheon with
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and its Annual
Sacramento Legislative Reception. The Association
welcomed numerous state legislators where conference attendees and legislators could
engage in casual conversation about the legislative year ahead.
The annual tour concluded with many cities conducting
meetings with their legislators on Wednesday, January
9. CCCA would like to thank everyone who attended
this year's legislative tour. We expect to see a lot of
legislation that will impact our communities and we are
prepared to continue our dialogue with bill authors. This
year's SLOT highlights the deep and diverse discussions
forming in the state legislature that will have profound
implications for local governments. Member cities are
highly encouraged to remain engaged in the policy discussion, especially when the
Legislative Committee considers action in the coming months.
Lastly, I want to congratulate more than 50 newly elected councilmembers, city
treasurers, and city clerks for their election this past November from across the CCCA
membership. I hope you will lend your leadership and perspectives to CCCA as we
advocate and strengthen local control. I hope everyone will join me in recognizing these
new leaders at our upcoming events as we introduce them to the CCCA family.
Sincerely,
Jorge Morales
