03-02-19 Letter from Tony Higgins regarding CEQA Safety and Hazards Analysis for 27 th Street
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/7/2019Page 1 of 1
powered by Legistar™
Saturday March 2, 2019
Dear City Council, City Manager and City Attorney,
Every resident who drives 27th Street regularly knows it has become a de-
facto truck route.
Yet Hermosa Beach City officials continue to claim 27th is NOT a truck-
route; thereby allowing it to skirt its responsibility to perform the safety, near
roadway pollution, noise & vibration analysis mandated by the California
Environment Quality Act (CEQA).
27th Street is a truck route. Everybody knows it.
Yet, the city continues to post No Overweight Truck signs on 27th east and
westbound that in-part obfuscate this truth.
It’s time for the charade to end.
The CEQA statute sets forth a detailed process for preparing
Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) for projects ranging from General
Plans like the 2017 Plan-Hermosa EIR to smaller projects like the
placement of new traffic signals or the creation of new truck routes.
Appendix-G of CEQA defines environmental hazards, that include but are
not limited to road & pedestrian safety, near-roadway air-pollution effects,
vehicle noise & vibration impact to residential neighborhoods.
CEQA further requires the city to assess and if possible, develop plans
to mitigate significant new potential environmental hazards & impacts
resulting from the cumulative effects of past & present city-approved
projects, as well as future EIR approved programs and/or projects.
There is no CEQA exclusion allowing the City of Hermosa Beach to
ignore significant environmental hazards or impacts caused by
heavy-trucks on vulnerable & highly utilized roads like 27th Street.
Yet the City continues to misrepresent and deny that 27th Street is a new
truck route, attempting to avoid it’s CEQA mandated obligations to examine
& mitigate the consequent health, safety, quality of life and property rights
impacts on behalf of the residents of Hermosa Beach. This is negligent. It
puts the City at an unnecessary risk.
If there is a truck related accident on 27th with a serious injury or loss of
life, besides the tragedy of the accident itself, the City will likely find itself
legally culpable for knowingly not following the CEQA process by allowing
the establishment of a new city truck route without the appropriate
environmental review of potential safety hazards and other potential
environmental impacts and mitigations.
And there is more.
Sadly, 2 1/2 months into the Hermosa Ave Paving Project, heavy trucks
continue to use 27th instead of the Herondo route prescribed by the project
documents for transport of this projects heavy-equipment, asphalt, cement
rubble. The City, despite the best efforts of its Project Engineers has simply
been unable to enforce the Herondo route for ingress and egress to the
project site. Consequently, the City is unable protect our safety and quality
of life with any degree of consistency.
And it happened again just last night, and yet again this morning; large big-
rigs pulling long trailers transporting heavy equipment on 27th instead of
Herondo.
I bring this up not because I expect the City can do anything about it.
Rather, I bring it up as evidence of a larger problem, that the City as a
whole cannot effectively establish and implement project-specific truck
routes to protect the health, safety or quality of life of its residents with any
degree of reasonable certainty. This has been well documented with the
Hermosa Avenue Paving Project.
If the City cannot enforce project-specific truck routes then the projects that
are dependent on them must be called into question. These include
projects like the Plaza Hotel and the North School Renovation.
It’s aldo worth looking at one key reason the City cannot get consistent
compliance with the project-specific truck routes: For years the City has
refused to enforce its direct route truck laws and the No Overweight Truck
signs on 27th street; and that has strongly affected the credibility of the
HBPD as a deterrent to unsafe or illegal use of 27th by truck drivers. It’s
that simple.
City Project Engineers can howl and scream at project contractors for not
using the prescribed truck routes until the cows come home, but the truck
drivers won’t change their habits until there is both a consistent and
sustained year-round HBPD enforcement of the existing truck laws on 27th
and when special projects do occur, until there are financial penalties
imposed by the Project Authorities that hit the truckers pocket-books when
they fail to use the prescribed routes.
Also. please keep in mind the Hermosa Ave project is a relatively small 3-
month project and by comparison and the multi-year Plaza Hotel project
where 7,000+ truck trips will likely be required has the potential for much
more residential impact over a far longer period.
But let’s get down to some root issues.
The city knows there is no safe number of large heavy trucks on 27th’s
steep narrow roadway. These trucks roar by inches from an increasingly
busy, narrow obstructed sidewalk. The road and the sidewalks are simply
to narrow and too steep and without a curbside parking buffer westbound
there is simply no way to mitigate the pedestrian or cyclist risk.
l
Furthermore, the city knows there is no way to effectively mitigate the noise
and vibration made by heavy trucks roaring up the steep east and
westbound inclines of 27th to acceptable levels.
Put another way there is no way the City can mitigate the noise levels to
anywhere close to the 55dba noise limit standard recommended in city
planning documents for R2 zoned neighborhoods and still allow heavy
trucks to use 27th for thoroughfare. The noise levels on 27th near the east
and westbound inclines are already 2-3 times the recommended levels. I
have provided the City many dba noise measurement samples and the City
has yet to refute any of my reports.
And finally, the City knows there is simply no justification for its continued
denial that 27th has become a main east/west truck route for both ingress
& egress to the Plaza Area and Hermosa Avenue businesses; AND,
moreover, the city knows 27th is now the main truck-route for both
commercial and residential construction trucks traffic serving the entire
WESTSIDE Hermosa Beach, not just the North Hermosa Area.
The City knows it is negligent in not invoking the CEQA EIR process
related to the 27th street truck-route.
By any reasonable definition a road becomes a truck-route when it is the
predominant path to the locations served by truck traffic but it is NOT the
most direct route.
That description fits 27th to a tee.
Finally, I simply cannot ignore that the City of Hermosa has brought legal
action against the Hermosa Beach School District for possibly not
adequately considering pedestrian safety in the transportation section of
the North School EIR.
Here is a quote from page 10 of the January 2, 2018 letter authored by the
Hermosa Beach City Manager to the Hermosa School District related to the
North School Construction project draft EIR and pedestrian safety.
The quote below was bolded for added emphasis and the word “safety”
was underlined.
“Will the project conflict with adopted policies plans or programs regarding
public transit, bicycle or pedestrian facilities or otherwise decrease the
performance or safety of such facilities?’
What is especially bemusing is that the city is asking the School District to
do what it did not do in the cities own EIR, The Plan Hermosa General
Plan.
The city completely ignored truck safety to vulnerable roads.
But at least in the above communication the City implicitly acknowledges
that it should have considered safety, and specifically truck safety in the
Plan Hermosa - General Plan EIR.
I want 3 things from the city.
First, I want a CEQA compliant truck route EIR that examines the safety,
near-roadway pollution effects, noise and vibration consequent to allowing
27th to become a new truck route. No more delay. No more excuses. No
more bobbing & weaving.
Second, I want the city to analyze why its efforts to have heavy equipment
use the Herondo route for the Hermosa Ave Project brought such
inadequate & inconsistent results; and then effect the changes necessary
to rectify this before the start of either the Plaza hotel or North School
Construction Projects.
The City Council simply must demand a public lessons-learned
presentation by staff at the City Council Open Session. A failure to do this
and to expect better outcomes for the Plaza Hotel project or the North
School Construction would be reckless and indifferent to the safety and
quality of life concerns of residents of 27th street, especially given the well
documented outcomes from the Hermosa Avenue project.
Third, I want a new evidence-based CEQA compliant amendment to the
city’s Circulation Plan that specifically & comprehensively addresses truck
traffic circulation for the long-term in our growing city. This should have
been a big part of the Cities 2017 Plan Hermosa General Plan but was
totally omitted.
Thank You
Anthony Higgins

MATTERS FOR COMMISSION CONSIDERATION
1. ROLE OF THE EPAC COMMISSION
City Manager Lowenthal and Assistant to the City Manager Nico De-Anda Scaia attended the
commission meeting to discuss the role of EPAC with the commissioners.
Commissioner Benson provided an overview of the commission, and the many accomplishments
completed by the commission. Some of the accomplishments include:
• Conducting outreach as stated in the municipal code
• Converting an old school space at the community center into the emergency operations
center
• Worked with the City Manager to get a $25,000 generator purchased and installed to utilize
during a power outage and/or during a disaster situation
• Raised funds, navigated the legal requirements, purchased and installed AED ’s located
within the community
• Neighborhood Watch: attended over 100 meetings with Police, Fire and an EPAC
representative to discuss emergency preparedness and Map Your Neighborhood
• Hosted nationally recognized National Night Out events in the city
Commission Benson stated that outreach is not complicated but labor intensive. Social media is not
getting people prepared but person-to-person communication does. He stated that the public learns by
doing therefore providing an opportunity to engage with hands on training will gain interest in
preparedness. The number one goal of the commission is outreach. He stated that he would put
together a list of accomplishments to bring to the joint study session. Mrs. Villanueva stated that she
developed a list of accomplishments which was included in the materials for the joint study session.
Commissioner Skye-Davis stated that the commission is important, as the commissioners are diverse
in many ways (careers, interests, age, etc.) with various civic engagement opportunities allowing the
2
commissioners to be the pulse of the City.
Vice-chair Buckland stated that having a commission shows that emergency preparedness is
important. The commissioners have an edge and perception when attending various meetings and
trainings because of the title of commissioner. He stated that having a commission portrays to the
community that the City is concerned about emergency preparedness and allows an opportunity to
share experiences related to emergency preparedness. The details of the commission can be adjusted
to ensure that emergency preparedness is a priority for the city by keeping the commission.
Chair Katz stated that it is important to practice and train with the residents and volunteers. In addition,
the commission works with the community to determine their needs for preparedness. Chair Katz
shared her experience during Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, and various other disaster responses, stating
that people were unprepared and did not know when, how and where to go. She also stated that in
Hermosa Beach, there is a difference between those in the east sid e of Pacific Coast Highway and the
west side. It is important to conduct exercises with residents on both sides. She also stated that the
commission developed a list of the residents who may need assistance during a disaster. She
recommended that Map Your Neighborhood is the program to relaunch and engage residents in getting
to know their neighbors and get prepared. There needs to be a master plan, which includes information
on how to address water, gas, and electricity issues. Many residents are confused on where to start
preparing and therefore they are not prepared.
Commissioner Benson stated that up until 2009, the stakeholders (City Manager, Police Chief and Fire
Chief) were engaged and attended the commission meetings. Without the stakeholder’s present, the
completion of projects many and will take longer to complete. Commissioner Benson also stated that
there is a difference between work product and advise/policy.
Chair Katz stated that as part of the General Plan, EPAC conducted a mapping exercise with the youth
in the community.
City Manager Lowenthal appreciated the Commissioners honesty in providing their perspectives of the
commission. She stated that Mrs. Villanueva keeps her abreast of the actions of the commission and
that she relay’s on Mrs. Villanueva for providing emergency preparedness information.
City Manager Lowenthal stated that staff report provides the background and the accomplishments of
the commission. She also wanted to thank the commissioners for allowing her and Mr. De -Anda Scaia
to attend the meeting and participate in the discussion. Mrs. Lowenthal stated that the meetings are not
the only opportunity for the commissioners to work with stakeholders. She depends on Mrs. Villanueva
to explain the commission’s deliverables and provide dynamic feedback. She does not feel
disconnected from the commission and the work that the commission completes.
Commissioner Suggestions
The commissioners provided a few suggestions during the meeting for Council to consider.
1. Commissioner Benson suggested hosting work study session 2 to 3 times per year for the
commission and City Council to connect and ensure the work being accomplished is the current
focus of council.
2. Chair Katz stated that it is necessary to have direct communication with the City Manager, Police
and Fire Chief in order to accomplish tasks. In the past, all three attended the meetings and
allowed for open lines of communication.
Mrs. Lowenthal recognized the tremendous amount of outreach that the commission has completed
and cherishes. She recognizes the need to evolve as mandates have changed and requirements have
become strict.
Commissioner Benson recognized that roles evolve and is important for continued effectiveness in the
city. Chair Katz stated that the Red Cross Disaster Team role has evolved tremendously over time
since its creation following a plane crash in Florida. Everything changes as the community evolves and
it is important to incorporate different backgrounds, talents and abilities.
Assistant to the City Manager Nico De-Anda Scaia recognized the commission for its history and
wonderful improvements to the City’s emergency preparedness. He recognized that the work was
accomplished by the collective of commissioners not just one per son and that the specialties and
3
diversity of the commission has enhanced the work completed. He thanked the commissioners for the
work that has been completed and the work that they continue to complete. He stated that the purpose
of the joint study session is to review the commission and to look for opportunities to improve service
delivery and engagement of the residents. He encouraged the commissioners to share their
experiences, challenges of the commission and provide the needs of the commission at the study
session.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2018
Mrs. Villanueva stated that there was one correction identified by Mr. Robinson under the Reports
Section 3 Office of Disaster Management of the November 5, 2018 meeting. The meeting minutes

COMMISSIONER REPORTS
11. BUSINESS PREPAREDNESS OUTREACH – Commissioner Detoy
Commissioner Detoy was not in attendance therefore no report was provided.
12. Community-Wide Emergency Alert System –Commissioner Hallett
No report was provided.
13. Promotion of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) – Commissioner
Buckland/Commissioner Skye-Davis
Commissioner Skye-Davis stated that the subcommittee met with Mrs. Villanueva to discuss the
incorporation of the South Bay Animal Response team into Herm osa Beach CERT. Commissioner
Skye-Davis stated that her and her husband were fortunate to assist with animal shelter operations
during the Wosley Fire. During this deployment, she worked with horses which was different from
her Hurricane Irma and Thomas fire deployments when she worked with dogs, cats, and other
types of animals. She was deployed to the Pierce College equestrian shelter as well as the Hanson
Dam shelter. Both shelters were set up differently and managed differently but the differences in
setup and management were appropriate for the respective shelter location and operation. She
mucked the stalls, fed and provided water to the horses, and was allowed to exercise the horses
when appropriate. Also, there were a variety of donations provided to the shelters which were not
accepted because the locations ran out of space to secure the donations. Donations are needed
but volunteers are critical to ensure that the proper care is provided to not only animals but to the
volunteers and animal owners as well. The Pierce College shelter co-located the Los Angeles
County Animal Mobile Vet Clinic next to the shelter which allowed for immediate medical attention
should an animal need it. She stated that it is critical to have a backup plan to the backup plan
because it was very apparent that many animal owners had a backup plan but when it was
unavailable, it was challenging for the owners. It is necessary to be flexible in order to stay safe.
Commissioner Benson thanked Commissioner Skye-Davis and her husband for volunteering to
assist with the animal response. He also stated that the fish cleanup was the first official activation
of the HbCERT and RBCERTAA group to respond to a disaster. Spontaneous volunteers arrived
without the correct personal protective equipment and had to be turned away for safety purposes.
Chair Katz stated that during Hurricane Katrina, they provided care to 2,500 people and 1,000
animals.
Commissioner Benson also stated that it was amazing that during the Paradise Fire, a dog who
was separated from its owner was found 30 days later on the front porch of its home.
14. Community Wide Emergency Preparedness Subcommittee – Chair Katz/Commissioner
Benson
Commissioner Benson reported that Monday, January 14, 2019 at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers
there will be a Joint City Council and EPAC study session to discuss the role of the Emergency
Preparedness Advisory Commission.

REPORT 19-0145
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of March 12, 2019
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND
THE HERMOSA BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT
(Acting Police Chief Milton McKinnon)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Approve Resolution No. 19-XXX to accept $75,404 in grant funds from the Department of
Justice for the Tobacco Law Enforcement Programs;
2.Authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding and the City Clerk
to attest;
3.Approve estimated revenue of $38,052 in the Grant Fund; and
4.Appropriate $38,052 in grant funds to the Police Department budget for fiscal year 2018-2019
for the implementation of the Tobacco Law Enforcement program.
Executive Summary:
The City of Hermosa Beach is a smoke-free community restricting smoking in all public areas
throughout the City. Cigarette and tobacco sales and consumption, however, are still areas of
concern, especially among the underaged. For this reason, the Hermosa Beach Police Department
sought grant funding for proactive tobacco-related enforcement and education. The Department of
Justice (DOJ) awarded the Department $75,404 in grant funds from the Tobacco Law Enforcement
Grant Program to address cigarette and tobacco-related issues in the City. The department would
use this funding to enhance levels of tobacco-related enforcement and education, address quality of
life issues associated with tobacco sales, and to reduce the availability of tobacco to minors. Staff
recommends the acceptance of grant funds to proactively enforce tobacco sales and consumption in
the City and to reduce the availability of tobacco products to minors.
Background:
Chapter 8.40 of the City of Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, as amended by ordinance in 2016, bans
smoking in all outdoor public spaces throughout the City, including the beach, parks, sidewalks,
streets, and publicly accessible private parking lots. Emissions from electronic smoking devices are
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/7/2019Page 1 of 3

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0145
also included in the City’s definition of “smoking”. Following adoption of this amendment by the City
Council, the City launched the ‘Healthy Air Hermosa’ enforcement campaign to educate downtown
merchants and members of the public while ramping up citywide enforcement of this ban.
In addition to the environmental concern, smoking is tied to various health and enforcement issues.
Since the City receives hundreds of thousands of visitors throughout the year, signage and education
efforts have been developed to inform the public of the City’s smoking provisions. Nevertheless,
smoking in public and smoking among minors are still a prevalent issue for the community. Most
recently, in December 2018, the City amended section 5.78.100.d of the municipal code to require
business licenses for the sale of tobacco products in Hermosa Beach. The business license
requirement, in effect starting June 1, 2019, should help mitigate the sale of electronic smoking
devices and flavored tobacco products to minors in the City.
Enforcement of the smoke-free ordinance and other state and federal laws governing the sale of
tobacco products in the City fall under the direction of the Chief of Police. The City’s code
enforcement division assists by issuing warnings and citations. Due to staff capacity issues, the
Police Department is limited in its ability to proactively enforce cigarette and tobacco sales and illegal
consumption within the City’s limits. Therefore, the Police Department submitted a proposal for the
Department of Justice’s Tobacco Law Enforcement Grant Program. This grant is funded by the
California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tax Act of 2016, which promotes a healthier
California by reducing the illegal sales and marketing of cigarettes and tobacco products to minors.
The Department was among the 65 local government agencies throughout the state selected for
funding for fiscal year 2018-2019.
Discussion:
The Department of Justice awarded the Hermosa Beach Police Department $75,404 in grant funds
from the Tobacco Law Enforcement Grant Program for tobacco enforcement and education in the
community of Hermosa Beach. The grant primarily covers personnel costs for specific enforcement
and educational operations. The program’s objectives include, but are not limited to, tobacco-related
enforcement operations at locations where minors are likely to be present - licensed retail locations,
retail license inspections, retailer education classes, youth organizations, etc.
The Field Operations Lieutenant would be responsible for implementation and coordination of the
Tobacco Grant Program. Officers assigned to this program would attend training connected to
tobacco enforcement and conduct public education presentations for students and youth
organizations. The goal of the program is to identify problematic areas, educate both retailers and the

REPORT 19-0086
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of March 12, 2019
APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FILE KEEPERS, LLC FOR
DOCUMENT SCANNING SERVICES AND IMPLEMENTATION
OF AN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(Assistant to the City Manager Nico De Anda-Scaia)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Authorize the City Manager to execute a first modification to an agreement with File Keepers,
LLC for document scanning services and implementation of an electronic document
management system for the City’s various departments in an amount not to exceed $54,000,
for a new total not to exceed amount of $317,942; and
2.Approve the transfer of $4,000 from the Community Development Department budget in the
General Fund to the City Manager Department budget in the Equipment Replacement Fund
as noted in the Fiscal Impact section.
Executive Summary:
In October 2017,the City executed a two-year agreement with American Microimaging,Inc.(AMI)to
provide hardware,software and scanning services in an amount not to exceed $263,942 to migrate
approximately 1,000 file boxes of City paper records into the Laserfiche electronic content
management system.In April 2018,due to a corporate merger,the City approved assignment of
AMI’s agreement to File Keepers, LLC under the same terms and conditions.
As of early March 2019,File Keepers,LLC has completed scanning of 937 file boxes at a cost of
$279,135,exceeding the authorized amount by $15,193,with 113 boxes remaining.Due to a greater
than expected quantity of files,including large format files such as plans,and growing scanning
needs over the duration of this project,costs have exceeded initial expectations.To complete
document scanning of remaining records,staff recommends that the City Council authorize an
amendment to File Keepers LLC’s agreement in an amount not to exceed $54,000.Funding would
also be used for professional services hours for staff Laserfiche system training and piloting the shift
of paper processes such as public records requests and event permit applications to online

REPORT 19-0086
submittals and electronic approval management and tracking.
Background:
In October 2017,the City Council approved a two-year $263,942 agreement with American
Microimaging,Inc.(AMI),based on a competitively bid 2014 City of Redlands RFP,to perform City
document scanning services into the Laserfiche electronic content management system.The project
scope included purchase of software,hardware and support services to scan approximately 1,000 file
boxes of paper records (approximately 2.5 million images),from multiple City departments into a
centralized electronic repository.Electronic storage would facilitate rapid records search and retrieval
for public and staff use,free up City office and storage space occupied by file boxes,and allow for
recycling and disposal of unneeded records as permissible by the City’s records retention policy.
Additional benefits include improved business continuity and disaster recovery in case of damage or
loss to paper files,along with the ability to convert certain City paper processes such as public
records requests and event permit applications to online processes including electronic tracking,
approval and fulfillment by City staff.The agreement also merged smaller individual AMI/Laserfiche
agreements previously established by the City Clerk,Community Development,Police and Public
Works Departments.
In April 2018,as a result of a corporate merger,the City authorized assignment of the agreement with
AMI to File Keepers,LLC under the same terms and conditions.File Keepers,LLC retained AMI
project management staff.
Project Progress
·Document Scanning -as of February 2019,File Keepers,LLC has invoiced the City for 937
file boxes containing approximately 2.3 million images with another 113 file boxes pending
pick-up from various City offices for scanning.Scanning progress has been deferred due to
the existing backlog at File Keepers,LLC.File Keepers,LLC has the capacity to scan
approximately 60 to 70 file boxes per month,which has caused up to a two-month wait for
delivered boxes to be scanned into the Laserfiche system.As new documents are generated,
scanning and indexing of additional paper documents and records would be performed by City
staff.
·Software and Hardware Status -the City fully upgraded its servers to new hardware with
increased capacity for this system in 2017,has completed installation of the Laserfiche Avante
Server Software system,and purchased 10 scanners for staff to scan and index newly
generated documents.
·Professional Services/Training -101 of 120 authorized professional services hours have been
expended to date to include software and hardware implementation along with staff Laserfiche
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/6/2019Page 2 of 6

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0086
expended to date to include software and hardware implementation along with staff Laserfiche
training for 43 City user account holders.Staff has identified two potential paper processes to
pilot conversion into online electronically managed services:public records requests submitted
to the City Clerk’s Office and event permit applications submitted to the Community Resources
Department.
·Budget/Committed -as of the end of February 2019,the City has committed $279,135,
exceeding the $263,942 total authorized agreement amount by $15,193.
Analysis:
To complete citywide document scanning and enable the City to transition from paper to paperless
processes,additional funding for the City’s File Keepers,LLC agreement would need to be
appropriated which would also cover staff Laserfiche training and programming hours,and document
shredding and/or storage costs.
Document scanning expenditures to date have been higher than expected due to:
·Average cost per file box -$190 actual to date ($178,133 for 937 boxes scanned)is
significantly higher than the $160 initially budgeted ($159,455 for 994 boxes).Billing is based
on the number and type of images actually scanned.While image counts per box have
remained relatively on par with initial estimates,the number of large format (2’x 3’)images
such as maps and plans have surpassed expectations.At 60 cents per page,scanning costs
for large format images are significantly more expensive than letter size,legal or 11”x 17”
pages, which are billed at a rate of 6 to 8 cents each.
·Number of file boxes -actual project file box count of 1,050 boxes exceeded the original
estimate of 994 boxes.
Staff Laserfiche training and programming costs to transition City paper processes to paperless
would require additional File Keepers,LLC professional services hours.While department staff has
received general training for initial phases of project implementation and system set-up,now that the
majority of documents have been scanned and staff has commenced using the system,new issues
have been identified which would best be addressed by another round of department-specific
training,including records search,retrieval,indexing,organization and reporting.Training would also
help new staff who have been hired since project inception in 2017 with Laserfiche system
familiarization.
Aside from more efficient document storage,search and retrieval,a key feature of the Laserfiche
electronic content management system is the ability to convert business processes from paper-based
to electronic.The City is planning to pilot conversion of public records requests made to the City
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/6/2019Page 3 of 6
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0086
to electronic.The City is planning to pilot conversion of public records requests made to the City
Clerk’s Office and event permit applications made to the Community Resources Department via
paper forms to an online application.The Laserfiche system would then be programmed to automate
these business processes to allow for storage of the application form and associated files,routing of
approvals through various City Departments,fulfillment of requests,tracking and reporting,and
notifications to the public and City staff.Additional professional services hours would be used for
programming and project management to enable these pilot processes and to train key City staff how
to program automation of additional City processes.
Additional anticipated Fiscal Year 2018-19 project items/amendment required:
Item Amount
Cost overage for software, hardware, professional services hours and
scanning of 937 file boxes: $279,135 spent less $263,942 authorized
contract amount
$15,193
Completion of document scanning - 113 file boxes remaining x $190 per
box
$21,470
Additional as-needed professional services hours for staff Laserfiche
training and programming/support required to transition paper processes to
online forms and electronic management – 50 hours at $200 per hour
$10,000
Document storage and/or shredding services pending an update of the
City’s records retention schedule; box pickup and delivery charges
$3,000
Contingency for additional files, images, large format file scanning in
remaining file boxes
$4,337
Total Fiscal Year 2018-19 amendment amount required: $54,000
The City has made a significant investment in digitizing the majority of its historical paper records into
the Laserfiche content management system over the past 17 months.Although costs have exceeded
expectations due to higher than expected scanning quantities including more expensive large-format
files,the Laserfiche system should significantly improve external and internal customer response
times related to search and retrieval of City documents.Staff from several City departments including
the City Clerk’s Office,Community Development,Community Resources and Finance have
expressed enthusiasm for completing document scanning,attending additional training and moving
towards paperless processes in an effort to modernize customer service and improve access to
information across all departments.Staff has also observed reduced clutter and more usable space
in City offices and storage areas previously occupied by numerous file boxes.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0086
Alternatives.Council could opt to reduce or decline to approve the recommended amendment
amount;however,this would curtail completion of document scanning and programming automated
paperless workflow processes on a timely basis.Staff recommends Council move forward with the
agreement amendment to assist in achieving the City’s Strategic Plan Goal of being a “High
Performing City Providing First Class Services.”Staff will work closely with File Keepers,LLC to
ensure future project costs come in at or under budget and will evaluate services and processes to
determine where cost efficiencies can be achieved (e.g.City staff identifying records that do not
require scanning or performing scanning and programming activities where possible).
Next Steps:
If the agreement amendment is approved,staff would schedule pickup and scanning of the final
boxes of records from March to April 2019 with final scanning to be completed by File Keepers,LLC
by summer 2019.Staff would schedule departmental Laserfiche training and proceed with piloting
paperless business processes and workflows to include public records requests and event permit
activities. Staff would target summer 2019 for potential beta testing of these processes.
Pending the update and approval of the City’s records retention policy which will be brought before
Council later this year,staff would evaluate remaining paper records to determine which records may
be shredded and recycled.
Staff would continue with ongoing evaluation of File Keepers,LLC’s services and costs compared to
budget expectations with an eye toward a prospective agreement extension beyond the current
October 2019 term date.As expressed in previous staff reports,future annual system software and
maintenance charges are expected to cost approximately $22,000 per year.Should the pilot business
process and workflow testing go well,professional services hours may be needed for programming
and conversion of additional City processes to paperless as identified.Moving forward,future phases
of this project may include making a web portal available for the public to browse and retrieve City
records online similar to the City of South Pasadena’s site (Attachment 6)managed by their City
Clerk’s office.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency with the
City’s General Plan.The agreement amendment for File Keepers,LLC would assist in fulfilling the
following Governance Element goals:
1.10 Record systems and technology.Maintain record systems and utilize technology that promotes
public access.
2.6 Responsive to community needs.Continue to be responsive to community inquiries,providing

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0086
public information and recording feedback from community interactions.
3.5 Expanded digital archive.As feasible,expand use of document imaging to maintain and provide
access to vital records.
Fiscal Impact:
The City’s $263,942 File Keepers,LLC agreement would be increased by $54,000 for a new total not
to exceed amount of $317,942 for services through October 2019.
Since Community Development has funds budgeted for document scanning,$4,000 would be
transferred from the Community Development Department’s General Fund contract services account,
001-4201-4201,to the City Manager’s Equipment Replacement Fund contract services account,715-
1201-4201, to partially cover large format file document scanning costs.
The 2018-19 Midyear Budget appropriation request in the amount of $50,000 for the City Manager’s
Equipment Replacement Fund contract services account,715-1201-4201 would cover remaining
anticipated agreement expenditures,including completion of citywide document scanning,staff
Laserfiche training,file storage and/or shredding,and development of pilot electronic workflow
processes including public records requests and event permit applications.See separate 2018-19
Midyear Budget Review staff report.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
This document proposes a scope of work and general approach for the City of Hermosa Beach [“City”]
proposed Laserfiche solution. This scope of work covers the following items:
• Laserfiche Avante Implementation
As with most projects of this nature, at this point in the engagement AMI has a general
understanding of City’s requirements and overall situation. As AMI learns more (primarily
after Stage 2, explained below), there may be a need to modify the overall scope of work
and general approach; because of this, please note that any estimated hours or costing
provided in this document should not be considered a fixed -cost bid.
Assumptions
In drawing up this implementation plan, the following assumptions have been made about the
requirements. The following statements are assumed to be true regarding any documents,
content or data provided by the City without any processing or alteration by AMI. Additionally,
the user behavior is assumed to be true as stated.
• City users are all part of a single domain
PROJECT STAGES
AMI has adopted a formal methodology for implementing custom solutions of the Laserfiche software
suite, which involves guiding the project through a series of clearly defined stages. Hermosa Beach has
the option of modifying AMI’s implementation method, by adding, removing or altering stages, but note
that in our experience, significant variation from AMI’s methodology can lead to problems.
Note: Once the project has moved past a stage, it is difficult to return or repeat the stage at a later date.
If this becomes necessary, additional cost may be charged to City, and the project plan’s final delivery
date may be significantly extended.
STAGE 1: CITY PERSONNEL CERTIFICATION
Owned By: City and AMI
All relevant technical City personnel that will be working with AMI to implement the solution shall
complete appropriate Laserfiche Certified Professional Program (CPP) courses or the equivalent to be
confirmed by AMI. AMI will recommend the specific courses that should be completed at a later date.
For more information on CPP, see http://www.laserfiche.com/en-us/events/cpps.
This step is necessary before proceeding, as it ensures City has sufficient knowledge of the Laserfiche
product to assist AMI with setting up, developing, testing, troubleshooting and maintaining the system.
It is AMI’s recommendation that only City personnel who have completed the necessary Laserfiche
certifications courses be responsible for administering Laserfiche.
STAGE 2: REQUIREMENTS GATHERING
Owned By: Hermosa Beach and AMI will conduct a series of in-depth meetings and interviews with City
departments, during which they will explain their requirements to AMI. AMI will document City’s
requirements, and pose questions as necessary.
AMI recommends the following:
7
These meetings should take place over the course of roughly a week, onsite at City’s offices or more
likely, remote through teleconference. City is prepared to discuss technical infrastructure details,
including how many environments should be created and the overall system topology (AMI will provide
detailed hardware and system topology recommendations). Necessary City personnel will be in
attendance for all meetings. City is prepared to identify which City personnel will play the following roles
in the project:
Project Owner: City leader of the project; the ultimate decision maker.
IT Administrator: City team-member responsible for assisting AMI with all IT-related tasks (e.g., granting
AMI access to City servers, helping City install and setup City servers).
Subject Matter Expert (SME): City Dept. Team-member who best understands the system’s business-
level functionality requirements.
Note: Multiple people may play the same role. One person may play multiple roles.
After the completion of all requirements gathering sessions, AMI will deliver to the City a formal Scope
of Work document detailing the requirements, as well as a proposal for how the system will be built.
City should closely review this document, and inform AMI if any changes should be made. AMI and City
of Hermosa Beach should formally agree upon the document before the project leaves Stage 2.
Note: During Stage 2, if the Scope of Work identifies that more work and cost is necessary than was
listed in the original sales contract, AMI must resolve this with the City before the project can proceed.
In addition to the requirements gathering document, AMI will provide City with a formal Microsoft
Project plan identifying the project’s schedule. AMI and City should formally agree on this plan before
proceeding past Stage 2. This Project file will be maintained and regularly updated by AMI. AMI will
provide a PDF copy of the plan to City on a regular basis.
Once the requirements gathering document and project plan are agreed upon, any new or modified
requirements requested by the City will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be processed by
AMI’s formal “change management” process. In most situations, AMI can honor a new requirement, but
additional time may be added on to the overall project’s length. In some cases, and depending on the
new requirement’s size (in terms of overall development work), the new requirement may be
considered out-of-scope, which would require AMI and the City to come to an agreement on additional
cost and time. AMI highly recommends all requirements be included in the original requirements
gathering document.
STAGE 3: INFRASTRUCTURE SETUP
Owned By: AMI
Based on information gathered during Stage 2, AMI will set up the Laserfiche environment, with the
assistance of City IT administrators, by installing, licensing and performing basic configuration on
Laserfiche and, if necessary, third-party software. It is highly recommend that City be closely involved in
this process, as it is an excellent knowledge-transfer opportunity.
Note: Setup of Kerberos for supporting web-based Active Directory authentication between Laserfiche
web servers and the Laserfiche Server installed on different computers will be handled by the City IT
team.
8
STAGE 4: DEVELOPMENT AND SOLUTION DEMONSTRATIONS
Owned By: AMI
Based on information gathered during Stage 2 (Requirements Gathering), AMI will develop the system.
Based on information gathered, the solution consists of the following features:
• Laserfiche Avante System with MS SQL
• 43 Full Users – All access to documents according to security profile, Search, Email, Print,
template access and edit per security profile, Scan or Import images or electronic files
• WebAccess – Browser based access per credentials from remote devices
• Workflow – Ability to route documents according to business process
• Laserfiche eForms – Create custom forms for submission and routing
• 1 Quick Fields Licenses – Automated scanning sessions
• 1 Barcode and Validation Licenses – Separate and index documents
• 1 Real Time Look Up Licenses – Look-up in City database to capture index metadata
• 1 Scan Connect (10-pack) – Connect provided scanners directly to Laserfiche with scanning tools
• 1 Public Portal (10) Concurrent Read-only access to repository
• 1 Forms Portal – Hosts City eForms for submission to business process
• Connector – Integrate City Line of Business System with Laserfiche repository (1) included
• 6 Desktop Scanners Duplex, BW, Color, 25 pages/minute
• 4 Desktop Scanners Duplex, BW, Color, 45 pages/minute
Note that based on additional information gathered in Stage 2, the proposed solution may be subject to
change but very unlikely based on AMI understanding and work with the City over recent years.
AMI will demonstrate development work to the City on a regular basis. AMI highly recommends that as
many City users and stakeholders as possible be in attendance for each demo to ensure the solution is
being developed according to the original requirements, and that is ultimately satisfying end-user needs.
Best practice: A common mistake is to prevent end-users from seeing the system until it is fully
developed, which often leads to poor user adoption. AMI attempts to avoid this issue as much as
possible, by regularly demoing the system to the City, ideally with end-users in attendance. If
new/modified requirements are introduced during demonstrations, each one should be considered by
the City and AMI on case-by-case basis to determine if it is significant enough to potentially extend the
overall project’s length and cost.
STAGE 5: USER/GROUP SETUP
Owned By: City & AMI
AMI will work with the City to onboard all users into the system. In most cases, this is a manual, multi-
step process for each user group. AMI will provide City with detailed, step-by-step onboarding training.
Important: The onboarding process includes installing any necessary client-side software on all user
machines. AMI intends users to access via Web Access but if thick client is required, AMI will work with
IT to provide client workstation software.
AMI highly recommends that City prepare for this step ahead of time, by creating a list of users that
should be added to the system, as well as what roles each user will play in the system. The City should
ensure the number of users they wish to add to the system does not exceed the total number of licenses
they have purchased.
Note: As the onboarding process controls which users can access specific data (some of which may be
sensitive), for liability purposes, City should perform this step.
9
STAGE 6: AMI FUNCTIONALITY TESTING
Owned By: AMI
AMI will test all aspects of the system, to ensure functionality. AMI will be responsible for creating a test
plan for this work. If issues are encountered, AMI will correct them as necessary.
STAGE 7: HERMOSA BEACH FUNCTIONALITY TESTING
Owned By: City
For the first half of this stage, and under the direction of AMI, City users will test all aspects of the
system to ensure functionality. AMI will be responsible for creating a test plan for this work. If issues are
encountered, AMI will correct them as necessary.
For the second half of this stage, the City will test the system independently of AMI, using a test plan
created by the City and notify AMI of any issues that are encountered, which AMI will correct as
necessary.
STAGE 8: USER TRAINING
Owned By: City and AMI
AMI will employ a train-the-trainer option to supplement the training of end-users on the solution. It is
recommended that City identify an internal resource that is able to watch the initial AMI training
sessions and then conduct future trainings of City users, without the help of AMI. City may also wish to
record AMI’s initial training sessions.
If end-user documentation specific to each department is necessary, it is recommended that City
nominate one or more Department resources to write this documentation before Stage 8 begins. In
most cases, this should be a City resource that was heavily involved in Stage 7 (Functionality Testing),
and has an in depth understanding of the solution. If it is necessary for AMI to write this documentation,
additional time may be added on to Stage 4 (Development).
STAGE 9: PILOTING
Owned By: City & AMI
The City will coordinate a pilot of the system, where end-users use the solution against sample data.
Note that piloting differs from training in that it allows users to use the system on their own, without
direction, which usually identifies if there are issues with user comprehension or general usability.
Also note that piloting differs from testing, as the attempt is not to determine if there is a technical
problem with the system, but rather to determine if all users generally understand the system, if
requirements have been overlooked, and if they are likely to adopt the system.
The City should notify AMI during the pilot if there are any issues that should be addressed.
Note: By granting approval to move past User Training, the City formally accepts the system for
production use.
STAGE 10: PROJECT ACCEPTANCE AND “GO LIVE”
Owned By: City & AMI
With the acceptance of the City, the system will be released for production use. The City will then be
responsible for notifying users as to how and when to begin using the system.
Important: From this point forward, the system has been accepted and AMI will close the project. Any
new requirements will be considered a new project.
10
STAGE 11: STABILIZATION, KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER, HAND OVER, AND PROJECT CLOSEOUT
Owned By: AMI
As the City begins using the system in production, AMI will closely monitor the system and will attempt
to resolve any production issues that occur.
Once the system is considered to be stable as deployed in production, AMI will finalize documentation
on the administrative aspects of the system. AMI will cover this document with relevant technical
personnel in order to understand how the system was built and how it should be maintained on a
regular basis.
At this point, the project is complete and day-to-day tasks of maintaining the system will be handled by
the City. As the City has purchased the Priority support package, AMI will be available for hands-on
support to help troubleshoot any issues.
Important: Only the City personnel who have completed the necessary Laserfiche certifications courses
should be responsible for administering Laserfiche.
STAGE 12: SUPPORT SERVICES
Owned By: AMI
AMI will provide support for the system from 8-5 PST on M-F excluding Holidays through Helpdesk,
Remote Access and Onsite as necessary. Software Updates & Upgrades will be downloaded from City
Laserfiche Support Site and AMI will assist as necessary. AMI will support scanners in this procurement
for connectivity with Laserfiche as part of the overall system and functionality of scanners with the
manufacturer during and beyond the Manufacturer’s Warranty. AMI will incorporate City Avante System
and the Police Department Avante System into a single support agreement. AMI will cap any Annual
Support price increases, if applicable, not to exceed 3% annually after year one.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of March 12, 2019
CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE REGULATING
SIDEWALK VENDING IN COMPLIANCE WITH SB 946
(Acting Public Works Director Lucho Rodriguez)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Introduce, upon first reading, an ordinance to regulate sidewalk vending within the City of
Hermosa Beach in compliance with Senate Bill No. 946; and
2.Adopt a resolution amending the City’s comprehensive fee schedule to include administrative
fines for sidewalk vending violations in compliance with Senate Bill No. 946;and
3.Adopt a resolution amending the City’s comprehensive fee schedule to include a sidewalk
vending permit application fee and annual renewal fee.
Executive Summary:
Senate Bill 946 (“SB 946”), which took effect January 1, 2019, makes the regulation and
criminalization of sidewalk vending a matter of statewide concern. Accordingly, cities and counties
may no longer prohibit or regulate sidewalk vendors in the public right-of-way or in public parks
except in accordance with the new state law, and enforcement of local sidewalk vending ordinances
is limited to administrative fines (as opposed to criminal penalties).
Sections of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code relating to sidewalk vending are currently in conflict
with the requirements of SB 946. If the City wishes to regulate sidewalk vending, it will need to adopt
regulations that are consistent with state law. Absent substantially compliant local regulations, the
default rules set forth in state law will apply-potentially allowing for unregulated sidewalk vending in
the public right-of-way and within public parks.
Background:
SB 946 (Gov. Code sections 51036-51039) was enacted to promote entrepreneurship and to provide
economic development opportunities for immigrant and low-income communities. The Legislature
found that sidewalk vending increases access to desired goods (such as culturally significant food
and merchandise) and that sidewalk vending contributes to safe and dynamic public spaces. Based
on these findings, the Legislature sought to decriminalize sidewalk vending and to encourage local
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/7/2019Page 1 of 7

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0141
authorities to properly regulate the activity. To this end, a city or county may no longer prohibit or
regulate sidewalk vending in the public right-of-way or in public parks except in accordance with the
new state law.
For purposes of SB 946, a “sidewalk vendor” refers to a person who sells “food or merchandise” from
any “non-motorized conveyance” (such as a pushcart, a stand, or even from one’s person) upon “a
public sidewalk or other pedestrian path.”1 A sidewalk vendor can be roaming or stationary. (Note
that food trucks and other forms of motorized vending along roadways or public areas not designated
for pedestrian travel (e.g., parking lots) are not covered by the new law.)
Decriminalizing ViolationsWhile the decriminalization of street vending has been the subject of
public discussion in California for a long time, the federal government’s recent escalation of
deportations added urgency to the Legislature’s action. Last year, activists were galvanized when a
woman in Rancho Cucamonga was arrested and detained by immigration authorities for selling corn
in a city park. To avoid state complicity in the federal deportation of individuals for infractions and
misdemeanors, SB 946 prohibits California cities from criminalizing sidewalk vending violations.
Rather, state law now sets forth a mandated schedule of administrative fines as the only permissible
penalty for vending violations and also requires ability-to-pay determinations when assessing fines.
Justifying Regulation
In addition to decriminalizing the activity, SB 946 restricts a city’s authority to prohibit sidewalk
vending outright. State law now recognizes sidewalk vending as a legitimate way of earning a living
and any regulation of the activity must be in accordance with the following requirements of SB 946:
·Generally, a city may only regulate the time, place, and manner of sidewalk vending for
reasons “directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns.” For example, a city
may prohibit vending in a location that cannot accommodate both the activity and the minimum
clearance required by objective state and federal disability access standards.
·“Perceived community animus or economic competition” does not constitute an objective
public concern, and a city cannot require sidewalk vendors to obtain the consent or approval
of residents or local businesses before being permitted to operate. Therefore, complaints by
existing business owners cannot justify local regulation under SB 946.
·Sidewalk vendors of food remain subject to County health and safety regulations and permit
requirements and other provisions of the California Retail Food Code.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0141
In other words, public locations affected by SB 946 are as follows:
·Residential zones. Stationary sidewalk vendors may be prohibited outright in residential
zones. However, roaming sidewalk vendors (those vendors who do not operate from a fixed
location) may only be restricted for reasons directly related to objective health, safety, or
welfare concerns (e.g., reasonable restrictions on hours of operation would be permissible).
·The public right-of-way. Restrictions must be justified as directly related to objective health,
safety, or welfare concerns.
·Permitted temporary events. Cities may prohibit vending within the “immediate vicinity” of a
permitted special event, included a certified farmers’ market or swap meet,during the limited
duration of the event.
·Public parks (including recreational facilities). Stationary sidewalk vendors may be prohibited
outright from operating in any park for which the city has entered an exclusive concessionaire
agreement. Otherwise, vendors may be subject to any of the following types of restrictions:
o Directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns;
o Necessary to ensure the public’s use and enjoyment of natural resources and
recreational opportunities; or
o Necessary to prevent an undue concentration of commercial activity that unreasonably
interferes with the scenic and natural character of the park.
Issuing Permits
In addition to justified regulations, a city may control sidewalk vending under the new law through a
local permitting program. Pursuant to such a program, a city may require vendors to obtain a
regulatory permit and business license before being permitted to operate.
Any vendor identification collected by a city as part of its sidewalk vending permit application is
deemed confidential. Staff is thus prohibited from making such records available for public inspection
or otherwise disclosing the information except as required to administer the city’s permit program or
to comply with a state law or a court order.
Amending Existing Code Provisions
SB 946 does not require local authorities to adopt a new regulatory program for sidewalk vending if
an existing program substantially complies with the new state requirements. However, absent
compliant regulations, a city may not cite, fine, or prosecute a person for violating sidewalk vending
ordinances that are inconsistent with state law.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0141
Analysis:
The existing provisions of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (“HBMC”) relating to sidewalk vending
are in conflict with the law enacted by SB 946. Therefore, the attached ordinance proposes to
amend the HBMC and regulate sidewalk vending in the City through a permitting program managed
by the City’s Department of Public Works.
Summary of Proposed Amendments to the HBMC
Key provisions of the proposed permitting program include the following:
·Legislative findings. The proposed ordinance recites findings by the City Council-based on
the circumstances of the Hermosa Beach community and concerns for its welfare-to justify the
City’s restrictions on sidewalk vending.
·Definition of Sidewalk. SB 946 defines a sidewalk vendor as one who operates “upon a
public sidewalk or other pedestrian path.” In turn, the proposed ordinance defines “sidewalk”
to encompass standard sidewalks as well as paved pedestrian paths or walkways.
Accordingly, vending on grass turf, unpaved trails, dirt paths, or other areas not designed for
pedestrian travel would not be permitted.
·Restricted vending locations.
1)Generally, sidewalk vending is only permitted on sidewalks and paved pedestrian paths
and walkways.
2)For reasons of public safety, vending permits may not be issued for locations that the
Council has identified as “overcrowded,” including the Strand and Hermosa Avenue,
between 10th and 14th Streets.
3)To protect the public’s use and enjoyment of natural resources and recreational
opportunities, and consistent with California Coastal Act and the Open Space Lands
Act, permits may not be issued for sidewalk vending on the beach, the Municipal Pier,
the Hermosa Beach Greenbelt, and in Noble Park.
4)For reasons of public safety, the proposed ordinance requires sidewalk vendors to
maintain a minimum distance of 300 feet from any public or private school ground and
from the Hermosa Beach Community Center on school days, between 7:00 a.m. and
6:00 p.m. and when the Community Theater and 2nd Story Theater facilities are in use.
The chosen distance and hours of restriction are based on comparable restrictions in
administrative permits issued for temporary minor special events. HBMC section
17.42.150(D).
5)Consistent with state law, the proposed ordinance restricts sidewalk vending within one
block of a certified farmers’ markets and other permitted events.
6)For reasons of public safety, the proposed ordinance imposes a number of distance
restrictions from street intersections, fire hydrants, emergency exits, and other sensitive
locations related to emergency services and motor and pedestrian traffic safety.
7)For reasons of public safety, the proposed ordinance also requires that stationary

REPORT 19-0141
sidewalk vendors operate at a distance of at least 200 feet from another sidewalk
vendor to avoid a concentration in a single location that might limit accessibility for
pedestrians, affect traffic flows on the right-of-way, and pose a traffic safety hazard.
·Permit applications. To the extent the City requires applicants to show some form of
personal identification, SB 946 requires the City to accept a California driver’s license or
identification number, an individual taxpayer identification number or a municipal identification
number (in lieu of a social security number). Any such applicant identification collected by the
City shall be kept confidential and shall not be available for public inspection or otherwise
disclosed except as required to administer the City’s permit program or to comply with state
law or a court order.
·Business license required. In addition to a regulatory permit, sidewalk vendors are required
to obtain a business license by which the City may assess a business tax.
·Operating requirements. Although sidewalk vendors will be not be required to obtain
commercial encroachment permits (which are largely reserved for brick-and-mortar business
owners extending their operations into the right-of-way adjacent to an existing storefront),
sidewalk vendors will be subject to applicable local restrictions on commercial encroachments
as codified in Chapter 12.16 of the municipal code. These restrictions include a mandated five
(5) foot clearance for proposed vending locations, compliance with other laws and disability
access requirements, restrictions against amplified sound and noise constituting a public
nuisance, and requirements to maintain vending locations in clean, sanitary condition with
proper trash disposal.
o State law provides that restrictions on sidewalk vending hours in commercial areas
shall not be more restrictive than the restrictions imposed on other businesses or uses
on the same street. There are no such applicable hours restrictions for sidewalk
vendors in Hermosa Beach.
o State law distinguishes between “stationary sidewalk vendors” and “roaming sidewalk
vendors.” The key regulatory difference between the two is that stationary vendors may
be prohibited from operating in residential zones, while roaming vendors may operate
therein according to restricted hours of operation.
·Sidewalk vending in parks.The City has not entered any concessionaire agreement with a
third party vendor providing for the vendor’s exclusive right to sell or offer for sale food or
merchandise in City parks. Therefore, the proposed ordinance largely regulates sidewalk
vending in parks according to the other requirements for vending within the City.
·Grounds for revocation.Consistent with state law, a permit may be revoked for the fourth or
subsequent violation of the proposed ordinance.
·Appeals. Permit denials and revocations may be appealed to Council.
·Penalties.Consistent with SB 946, permit violations, including sidewalk vending without a
permit, will only be punished by an administrative fine, and actual fee assessments will take
into consideration a person’s ability to pay the fine. Violators will also be notified of their right

to request an ability-to-pay determination.
In addition to the above, the attached ordinance amends existing sections of the Hermosa Beach
Municipal Code for consistency with the new chapter governing sidewalk vendors and in compliance
with state law. Sections from Chapter 10.32 governing street vending have also been amended for
clarity.
Summary of Proposed Resolution Amending the City’s Administrative Fee Schedule
The schedule of administrative fines mandated by state law is as follows:
A.Vending without a sidewalk vending permit will be punished by an administrative fine not to
exceed the following amounts:
1.$250 for a first violation.
2.$500 for a second violation within one year of the first violation.
3.$1,000 for each additional violation within one year of the first violation.
4.Upon proof of a valid permit issued by the Department of Public Works, the
administrative fine assessed under this paragraph will be reduced to the corresponding
administrative fine set forth in paragraph (B).
B.Any other violations of Chapter 12.38 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code will be punished
by an administrative fine not to exceed the following amounts:
1.$100 for a first violation.
2.$200 for a second violation within one year of the first violation.
3.$500 for each additional violation within one year of the first violation.
4.The Public Works Director may revoke a sidewalk vending permit for the remainder of
the permit’s term upon the fourth or subsequent violations.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa (the City’s combined General Pan and Local Coastal Program) was adopted in
August 2017. The City recognizes and supports the need to maintain a strong, diverse and vibrant
local economy. The proposed ordinance is supported by the following General Plan policies:
·Governance 6.5 Creative economy. Prioritize strategies that will create an economy full of
diverse talents, trades and goods for the city. For long lasting economic success, a range of
services, arts, entertainment and retail should be supported on all scales of the city’s
economy.
·Governance 6.6 Pop-up shops. Develop plans and programs for underutilized spaces, such as
vacant buildings, utility corridors, parkways, etc., for temporary retail, restaurant, and
community-promoting uses.
·Governance 6.7 Retail base. Encourage economic development reflective of the character of
Hermosa Beach with small and medium retail development within Hermosa Beach in order to
create a stronger tax base and increase the City’s tax revenue.

REPORT 19-0141
·Land Use 1.7 Compatibility of uses. Ensure the placement of new uses does not create or
exacerbate nuisances between different types of land uses.
·Mobility 7.1 Safe public right-of-ways. Encourage that all public right-of-ways are safe for all
users at all times of day where users of all ages and ability feel comfortable participating in
both motorized and non-motorized travel.
·Parks and Open Space 3.3 Commercial use of facilities. Regulate and enforce commercial
use of City parks and open space to ensure activities do not impact general use and
enjoyment.
·Parks and Open Space 7.3 Recreational asset. Consider and treat the beach as a recreational
asset and never as a commercial enterprise.
Fiscal Impact:
Costs associated with issuance and administration of sidewalk vendor permits are proposed to be
recovered through a fee, as outlined in Attachment 3. Staff recommends an initial application fee of
$325 and an annual renewal fee of $325 in order to cover the administrative time for processing the
permits. Revenue will be estimated once staff is able to determine the demand for the permit. There
may be indirect impacts associated with additional enforcement, but those costs are not expected to
exceed the City’s current resources.
Staff recommends the adoption of the administrative fines, as outlined in Attachment 2. The main
objective of the administrative fines is to encourage compliance, not to generate revenue. Any
revenue associated with the administrative fines will be estimated once staff is able to determine the
number of administrative citations.

ORDINANCE NO. ___
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
ADDING CHAPTER 12.38 TO THE HERMOSA BEACH
MUNICIPAL CODE (SIDEWALK VENDING) TO ADOPT
SIDEWALK VENDING REGULATIONS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH SENATE BILL NO. 946; AMENDING SECTIONS
1.10.040, 5.64.030, 10.12.170, 10.32.170, 10.32.180,
12.20.300, 12.24.020, AND 12.28.010; AND REPEALING
SECTION 12.12.070
The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council makes the following findings in support of this
ordinance:
A. Senate Bill 946, which took effect on January 1, 2019, provides that cities and
counties may not regulate sidewalk vending except in accordance with sections
51038 and 51039 of the California Government Code.
B. California Government Code section 51038 generally requires local regulation of
sidewalk vending to be “directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare
concerns.”
C. The City seeks to adopt a sidewalk vending program and to amend its Municipal
Code to ensure compliance with the requirements of state law.
D. Regulating sidewalk vending will benefit the entire Hermosa Beach community as
it will encourage entrepreneurship and provide for equal economic opportunities
while ensuring orderly commerce and protection of the public safety and welfare.
E. The City of Hermosa Beach is a steward of magnificent coastal resources, which
the City manages alongside dense land uses and a right-of-way network
designed to promote the mobility of pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, children,
persons with disabilities, users of public transportation, seniors, as well as
commercial vendors.
F. Unless properly regulated, vending in the public right-of-way and in public parks
creates the potential for increased safety hazards including, but not limited to,
interfering with the ability of persons with disabilities and other pedestrians to
follow a safe path of travel, interfering with the performance of police, firefighter,
and emergency medical personnel services; contributing to traffic congestion;
and encouraging pedestrians to step into roadways to maintain the flow of traffic.
G. Regulations of sidewalk vendors are also necessary to prevent hazardous or
unsanitary conditions and to ensure that trash and debris generated by vending
operations are properly discarded and do not become a pollutant.
Ordinance No. ___
Page 2 of 15
________________
H. The permit requirements of this Chapter are necessary to collect adequate
information about vending operations within city limits, to facilitate contact
between the City and its vendors, and to ensure that vending does not adversely
affect the public welfare.
I. Sidewalk vendors are reasonably required to maintain at least five (5) feet of
clearance for pedestrian passage at their vending locations consistent with the
City’s requirement for permitted commercial encroachments in the public right-of-
way. A five-foot clearance complies with disability access standards and further
ensures the safe flow of pedestrian traffic.
J. Restricting sidewalk vending near school grounds and near the Community
Center, a public recreational facility offering a variety of community programming
for all ages, is necessary to avoid disrupting the day-to-day operations of these
land uses and to guard against increased traffic and safety concerns when these
facilities are in use. Unrestricted sidewalk vending at such locations would result
in overcrowded sidewalks and compromised public safety as minors walk into the
street to avoid pedestrian traffic.
K. Restricting sidewalk vending on the Strand and on Hermosa Avenue, between
10th and 14th Street is necessary because the high volume of pedestrians,
cyclists, and tourists at these locations often results in overcrowded sidewalks.
Allowing vendors on crowded sidewalks would compromise disability access,
emergency access, and the flow of traffic and traffic safety at these destinations.
L. Restricting sidewalk vending in public parks, including restricting vending to the
paved pedestrian paths therein, is necessary to ensure the public’s use and
enjoyment of natural resources and recreational opportunities, and to prevent an
undue concentration of commercial activity that would unreasonably interfere
with the scenic and natural character of these parks.
M. Restricting sidewalk vending in the Hermosa Valley Greenbelt and in Noble Park
is necessary to ensure the public’s use and enjoyment of its open space
resources consistent with the legislative mandate of the Open Space Lands Act.
N. Restricting sidewalk vending on the beach and at the Municipal Pier is necessary
to ensure the public’s access to the City’s coastal resources and to protect public
recreational use on oceanfront lands as mandated by the California Coastal Act.
O. Restricting vending in residential areas and vendors’ use of sound amplifying
equipment is necessary to protect residents from excessive noise and traffic
impacts and to protect the welfare of the City’s densely developed community.
P. The City Council hereby adopts this ordinance pursuant to its authority under
Government Code section 51038 and finds that the regulation of sidewalk
vendors set forth herein is directly related to the City’s protection of the health,
safety, and welfare of its residents, businesses, and visitors.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of February 26, 2019 March 12, 2019
MIDYEAR BUDGET REVIEW 2018-19
(Continued from meeting of February 26, 2019)
(Finance Director Viki Copeland)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.Approve the revisions to estimated revenue, appropriations, budget transfers and fund
balances as shown herein and in the attached Revenue Detail Report, Additional
Appropriations Report, Budget Transfers Report, and Budget Summary Report;
2.From the General Fund, approve the addition of $120,134 to the assigned fund balance for
Contingencies in order to meet the City’s target of 16% for this goal; add $21,731 to the
Compensated Absences assignment to meet the City’s goal amount of 25% of the current
liability; add $21,575 to the retirement rate stabilization assignment;
3.Transfer the remaining funds available in the General Fund of $427,335 to the Insurance
Fund; and
4.Receive and file the attached information about City Council travel.
Executive Summary:
With the change in the General Fund balance forward from 2017-18 for re-appropriations and prepaid
expenses in the amount of $853,959, a revenue increase of 2% or $647,415, requests for additional
appropriations of $498,315 and additional funds to the Contingency Rainy Day Fund, Compensated
Absences and the Retirement Rate Stabilization, $427,335 is available for transfer to the Insurance
Fund to move the balance closer to our goal of $3,000,000. After this transfer, the Insurance Fund
balance is under goal by $75,550.
Background:
The City has conducted a Midyear Budget Review annually since fiscal year 1981-82. The review is
a good tool to ensure that assumptions and estimates originally used to prepare the budget ten
months earlier remain realistic. All revisions would be recorded as of January 31, 2019 so total
midyear revisions will reflect in the 2018-19 Budget amount used for preparation of the 2019-20
Budget. The City Council Conference/Travel Summary was requested by City Council in 2014-15
and continues to be provided.

REPORT 19-0101
Analysis:
OVERVIEW
The 2018-19 Budget estimated an increase in General Fund revenue of less than 1%. The Midyear
Budget Review estimates an additional increase in revenue of 2%. After all recommended revisions,
funds are available to adjust the City’s Contingency (Rainy Day Fund) to the goal of 16% of
appropriations for operations, set aside 25% of the compensated absences current liability which is
consistent with the City’s goal, set aside $21,575 of CalPERS prepayment savings towards
retirement rate stabilization, and to transfer the remaining $427,335 to the Insurance Fund from the
General Fund to replenish funds used for recent settlements and bring the balance closer to our goal
of $3,000,000 in the Insurance Fund.
REVENUE
(Note: Refer to the attached Midyear Revenue Detail Report for individual revenue accounts.)
Revenue is estimated to increase 2% over the 2018-19 Budget and 4% over 2017-18 actual revenue.

TAXES
Property Tax
The estimate for secured property tax revenue is increased by almost 2% to reflect growth of 6.5%
over 2017-18 actual revenue; the original budget assumed growth of 5% over the 2017-18 Budget.
The new estimate is $14,471,432. Growth for the prior four years was 8%, 8%, 7%, and 7%
respectively.
Sales Tax
Sales tax revenue for the first quarter is essentially flat, with a change of less than 1%. The estimate
for the year is increased by 4% to $3,156,000 which is consistent with 2017-18 actual revenue.
As shown in the charts on the next page, the category with the highest sales tax overall is
Eating/Drinking Places which increased slightly by 0.26%. The categories with the highest dollar
increase are Total Manufacturing & Wholesale and Building Materials.Service stations are up due to
fuel prices.

The following charts compare sales tax on major accounts for the first quarter of this year to the first
quarter of last year for the top ten business classes and by geographic area.
Typically, there would be two quarters to compare at this point in the year, however the
California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), who collects the sales tax,
implemented a new revenue system, changed the sales tax allocation methodology and
created a new payment calendar at the end of last year. There will be more information at the
time of 2019-20 budget submission.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0101
Other Tax
This category declines slightly due to decreases in franchise fees for cable TV and ½ cent
sales tax estimates from the state.
Licenses and Permits
This category is down 2.6% due to a change in estimated revenue for taxi franchise fees.
Legislation effective January 1, 2019 requires taxis to obtain permits only where they are
“substantially located”. There are currently no taxis that are substantially located in Hermosa
Beach. The final taxi franchise fees were paid in 2017-18. The only revenue collected in 2018-
19 was related to a replacement taxi.
Fines and Forfeitures
The estimate for this category remains the same. Personnel vacancies in Community
Services caused declines in revenue in previous years, but this is expected to resolve by year-
end due to hiring of part time staff.
Use of Money and Property
Interest income is revised up overall due to the rise in interest rates. Some adjustments are
being made between funds according to the actual cash balances for each fund.
Intergovernmental/State
Estimated reimbursements from the state were increased for amounts received for mandated
costs and decreased for Standards & Training for Corrections (STC) due to state allocation
revisions.
Current Service Charges
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/7/2019Page 7 of 12
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0101
User fees or service charges are up 2% primarily due to ambulance transport, special event security,
contract recreation classes, and other recreation programs.
Other Revenue
The increase in this category is primarily due to funds received in the general miscellaneous,
reimbursement/refund and contribution (donations) accounts. No revenue is assumed in the original
budget for these revenue sources. Appropriations have already been added where a donation is
intended to be spent.
ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS
Additional appropriations are shown on the attached spreadsheet, Additional Appropriations Report.
While overall appropriations in the General Fund will increase, the County Fire District division costs
will be reduced by $236,387 due to Los Angeles County Fire’s billing for six months of fire facility
conversion costs instead of the twelve months budgeted. $236,387 will be reserved as assigned fund
balance for future fire facility payments.
RESULT OF CHANGES
As a result of changes to estimated revenue, appropriation revisions, and changes in funds reserved
budget for budget reappropriations, prepaid expenses and the Verizon PEG grant, a balance of
$591,775 is available in the General Fund.
It is recommended that those funds be used in the following manner:
§Assign additional funds of $120,134 from the balance available in the General Fund to bring the
Contingency up to the goal amount of 16% of General Fund operating appropriations.
§Add an additional $22,731 to the assigned fund balance to bring the Compensated Absences
up to the goal amount of 25% of the current liability.
§Increase the assigned fund balance for retirement rate stabilization by $21,575 due to
CalPERS prepayment savings.
§Transfer the resulting remaining fund balance of $427,335 to the Insurance Fund.

transfer of $427,335 from the General Fund, the balance in the Insurance Fund is only under the
$3,000,000 goal by $75,550. Claims liabilities will be adjusted in the Insurance Fund at year end
based on the pending actuarial reports. Fund balances will be evaluated again with the 2019-20
Budget and a recommendation made for the year-end transfer of unspent funds in the General Fund.
UPCOMING/ONGOING CHALLENGES
With approval of the Midyear changes by the City Council, staff will move forward with preparation of
the 2019-20 Budget.
·Actuarial reports for liability and worker’s compensation will be received in the next few months.
Bringing the Insurance Fund back to the City’s goal amount is a priority; it is very close as
mentioned above, with the transfer included in this report.
·The Fiscal Health and Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan will be updated on an ongoing basis.
·Funding capital needs such as storm water and public facilities upgrades continue to be a

2019-20 BUDGET WORKSHOP
The Capital Improvement Plan Study Session is planned for April 24, 2019.The Budget Study
Session is scheduled for May 22 at 6:00pm, with adoption planned for June 11, 2019.
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.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of January 22, 2019 March 12, 2019
PURCHASE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES
(Continued from meeting of January 22, 2019)
(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 the
community. Fulfilling this commitment relies heavily on the availability of adequate emergency
response vehicles within 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.
Selections must also prioritize reliability, safety and effectiveness of vehicles for emergency
response.

Staff Report
REPORT 19-0045
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
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 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 adequate 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.
Ford has purportedly developed several pursuit rated police hybrid vehicles that will be available in
the near future. HBPD staff is monitoring the use of these models by the large departments
(LAPD/LASD) who will be testing the vehicles to determine if they are suitable as frontline patrol
vehicles. As an example, LAPD is waiting on the delivery of Ford’s “Responder” hybrid patrol but has
already determined the vehicle will not be used as a frontline patrol vehicle due to the lack of spot
lights, ballistic panels, and concerns that there is not enough room in the back for prisoner
transportation. Conversely, LAPD believes the larger hybrid “Utility” (Explorer) will provide the same
level of frontline patrol service but almost double the current version’s gas mileage (24 mph vs. 12
mph).
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.
Staff spoke with the Commanding Officer in charge of vehicle purchases at LAPD and learned that
they have ordered more than 500 2020 Ford Explorers, and that any new orders will not be available
until after January 2020. 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
2019 Chevrolet Tahoes have improved emission and fuel economy over the 2013 models they would
replace. The City’s Environmental Analyst, Kristy Morris, affirmed that the purchase of 2019 Tahoes
conforms to the City’s Clean Fleet Vehicle Purchasing Policy, adopted June 2013 and revised
January 2018.
For many years, like many other police departments in Los Angeles County, HBPD vehicles have
been and continue to be purchased using Los Angeles County’s contracted vehicle prices. The
practice of purchasing under the County’s contract and taking advantage of “bulk” purchasing power
has resulted in significant savings to the City.
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

REPORT 19-0045
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
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/7/2019Page 6 of 9

REPORT 19-0045
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

REPORT 19-0045
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.
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.

CRITERIA CONSIDERED
The city will consider the following when reviewing a special event fee waiver request:
Raises funds to supplement City budgeted services.

Raises funds for Non-Profit groups, which have contributed substantially to the community.
Nationally or State affiliated program which provides programs for local youth.
Raises funds for elderly citizens or youth organizations.

Signature Date
HBEF is a 501c3 and the HBEF can't afford to pay the fees because we are trying to raise money for our local schools. This is our largest
fundraiser and we need every dollar saved to go back to our schools since our district is one of the least funded districts in the state. We
cannot afford additional city fees.
Every dollar raised by HBEF goes directly back to our schools to help fund programs like music, science, technology, etc. These programs
would not exist without the help of HBEF.

We have been asked by the city to try this location instead of the community center lawn.
We are hesitant to do so because we don't want to bother Our Lady of Guadelupe's service.
However, we have been asked to explore this option by parks and rec, and so we wanted to
make sure we did what they requested. The fee is unfortunately more than we could ever afford to
pay because we run on donations.
There has been some mention of complaints. Only 2 specifically on the call line. However it was mentioned
that there were other complaints on facebook. There are also many positive comments on the facebook page as well.
We had multiple members of the community come out of their houses and join in the Easter celebration extremely
excited that this was being offered in the area. It is just normal to hear the complaints louder than compliments in
some instances.
Obviously the sunrise is very much what Easter means to a lot of people in the community, and we feel offering
this type of event blesses people in the community.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of March 12, 2019
ESTABLISHMENT OF PERMANENT RIDESHARE ZONES
IN DOWNTOWN HERMOSA BEACH
(Environmental Analyst Leeanne Singleton &
Acting Chief of Police Milton McKinnon)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the implementation of a permanent rideshare zone
program in Downtown Hermosa Beach to improve safety and better facilitate pick-up and drop-off of
passengers from rideshare services, private vehicles, and taxicab operations.
Executive Summary:
With an increasing number of rideshare drivers and passengers,and a changing regulatory
relationship between the City and taxicab operators,staff has been exploring options to improve
safety and better facilitate the pick-up and drop-off of passengers utilizing rideshare services,private
vehicles,and taxicab services in the Downtown area.In August 2018,staff launched a pilot rideshare
zone program in partnership with Uber and Lyft and installed temporary directional signage.The pilot
program allowed staff to evaluate the effectiveness of these rideshare zones and determine
appropriate adjustments prior to establishing permanent zones.After approximately six months of
operations,staff has evaluated the zones,boundaries,and signage and have recommended a
number of improvements to implement as part of a permanent rideshare zone program for Council
consideration.
Implementation of permanent rideshare zones would provide the City with a comprehensive strategy
to managing rideshare and taxi operations in Downtown Hermosa Beach,provide a more effective
use of the City’s limited curb space,and reduce the amount of time our enforcement team must
spend to ensure the large volume of rideshare and taxicab operations are moving safely and
efficiently on weekend evenings.
Implementation of this program as recommended by staff,is expected to provide a small positive
fiscal impact by re-introducing five metered spaces along Manhattan Avenue back into evening
weekend service, which would outweigh the cost of signage to be installed as part of this program.

REPORT 19-0117
Background:
Changing Taxicab Regulations and Franchise Agreement
As of January 1,2019,the City has limited authority to regulate taxicab operations unless the
operations are "substantially located"within the City due to Assembly Bill 1069 (Chapter 753,
Statutes of 2017).AB 1069 was intended to reduce the regulatory burdens the traditional taxicab
industry faced and thereby allow it to more effectively compete with rideshare services.The City is
now required to recognize licenses granted taxicab companies by other jurisdictions (e.g.,the City of
Los Angeles)and to date,there is no indication that any taxicab company meets the "substantially
located" burden to require registration with the City.
Prior to 2019,the City maintained Taxicab Franchise Agreements with several taxicab operators.The
Franchise Agreement,initially signed in 2003,(see Attachment 1)imposed an annual fee upon
taxicab operators, and provided that the City would establish designated taxicab staging areas.
With the Franchise Agreements no longer active,the City is no longer obligated to provide curb
space designated for the exclusive use of taxicab operators and is seeking to expand access to
these designated taxicab staging areas.Many of these staging areas have been underutilized by the
taxicab operators for a number of years and could be better utilized by rideshare services,such as
Uber and Lyft,and accommodate general passenger loading and unloading activities by private
individuals.
Pilot Rideshare Zones and Temporary Detours
According to the Uber Drivers Guide for Los Angeles County,Hermosa Beach is one of the top
requested locations for rides in L.A.Many of these rides occur on weekend evenings when
passengers are transported to and from the nighttime establishments in Downtown Hermosa Beach.
With much of the Downtown curb space allocated to parking and taxi zones,the growing popularity of
rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft has created conflict and safety concerns as drivers double
park or stop in travel lanes to pick up or drop off passengers due to limited available curb space.
Within Downtown Hermosa Beach there are currently five designated taxi zones that have been
provided for exclusive use by taxi operators as part of the City’s franchise agreement.Of the five
zones,four are designated as such only on weekend evening hours Thursday/Friday/Saturday
evenings between 9 PM and 3 AM, and a fifth zone is designated as a 24-hour taxicab zone.
To help address the safety concerns of vehicles stopping in travel lanes,in early 2018,Police and
Community Service Officers working Downtown began informally directing rideshare service drivers
and waiting passengers toward the bus stop area at Hermosa Avenue and 11th Street while staff
sought to establish more formal solution(s).
In August 2018,City staff worked with Uber and Lyft to develop a pilot program that created rideshare
pick up locations where both drivers and passengers were directed during the weekend eveningCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/7/2019Page 2 of 7
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0117
pick up locations where both drivers and passengers were directed during the weekend evening
hours of 9 PM to 3 AM on Thursday,Friday,and Saturday evenings within the Downtown area.The
establishment of rideshare zones has been used in many temporary (events such as Coachella)and
permanent venues (LAX,Dodger Stadium,Transit Centers and Malls)where drivers cannot access
certain spaces,or the venue desires to direct drivers and passengers to a specific location for safer
and more orderly pick up of passengers.
Uber and Lyft created a geo-fenced boundary in Downtown,as shown in Attachment 2,requiring
passengers to select a preferred pick-up location when requesting rides within the boundaries,and
then directed both passengers and drivers to the designated pick-up zone.The three zones
designated during the pilot phase made use of underutilized taxicab zones and a bus stop area:
·Zone 1: Hermosa Avenue at 14th Street (underutilized taxi zone)
·Zone 2: Manhattan Avenue at Pier Avenue (underutilized taxi zone)
·Zone 3: Hermosa Avenue at 11th Street (bus stop/red zone)
Temporary signage was installed during the pilot program phase to allow staff the ability to test
messaging and adjust locations before funds are spent to develop and install permanent signage.
Temporary signage was placed at each rideshare zone as well as the east end of Pier Plaza to help
riders navigate to the selected zone.
Uber and Lyft also have the capability to program road closure information and re-direct drivers and
passengers to designated locations during events such as street festivals,parades,and construction
detours.Staff worked with Uber and Lyft prior to the September 2018 Fiesta Hermosa to re-direct
passengers and drivers to a designated location outside of the Fiesta footprint during the three days
of street closures and anticipates continuing to provide this information to operators for community
events with major street closures.
Analysis:
Following this pilot phase,staff has discussed the effectiveness of the pilot program,and is proposing
to permanently re-purpose some of the taxicab zones as rideshare pick-up locations given the
changing relationship with taxicab operators and the need to provide safe and convenient locations
for patrons of Hermosa Beach establishments and special events to be picked-up.Provided below is
an assessment of the pilot program and recommendations for the implementation of a permanent
rideshare program,associated signage,and plans for providing public education and raising
awareness.
Pilot Program Assessment
Since the launch of the pilot program in August 2018,staff from the Police Department and City
Manager’s office have monitored the use of the rideshare zones/taxi zones,compliance by drivers,
and effectiveness of the signage in directing passengers to the established pick-up zones.Within a
few weeks of launching the pilot zones,it appeared that most drivers were meeting passengers at the
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/7/2019Page 3 of 7
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0117
few weeks of launching the pilot zones,it appeared that most drivers were meeting passengers at the
designated zones and moving vehicles out of the travel lane.Similarly,passengers became familiar
with the pick-up practices after a short period of time and Police Department staff assisted in
directing passengers to the appropriate zones when they found patrons waiting at the edge of Pier
Plaza. Based on staff observations from the pilot period, the following changes are proposed:
·Removal of Pick-Up Zone at Manhattan and Pier Avenue-while included in the pilot phase on
the west/southbound side of the street,staff has observed limited use of this location,and
when it is used,this pickup location is often approached from Pier Avenue which results in
drivers stopping in the red zone on the east/northbound side of the street or making a U-turn
mid-block to reach the proper designated zone.Staff is proposing as part of the permanent
program to put these five spaces back into metered use between the hours of 9 PM and 2 AM
on weekend evenings.
·Designation of Zones as Tow-Away Zones-both the current taxicab and pilot rideshare zones
do not include signage that explicitly authorizes vehicles to be towed if they fail to comply with
the parking restrictions identifying these spaces as taxicab or rideshare zones during specified
hours.The result is that many of the zones designated for these purposes end up with
vehicles parked in these spaces and render the zone ineffective at allowing vehicles to easily
move out of the travel lane and next to the curb to pick-up passengers.Unless a space
includes a tow-away sign,the only enforcement tool available is to cite the vehicles parked
during those hours, and the parked vehicles remain blocking the zone until the owner returns.
·Expanded Boundaries to Reduce Accidental Travel onto Strand or Plaza-staff continues to
observe a number of drivers make their way onto the Strand and Pier Plaza to attempt to pick-
up passengers.While the app does not direct drivers onto the Strand or Plaza,the areas
nearby such as Beach Drive or 11th Street are not currently “restricted”and by expanding the
boundaries of the geo-fence area and placing “hard road closures”on the back end of the
apps,it is anticipated that drivers will be re-directed to avoid these areas altogether and
reduce instances in which drivers accidentally make their way onto the Strand or Pier Plaza
when trying to find their passengers.
·Improved/Permanent Signage-after installing temporary signage,staff has observed that the
signage on the east end of Pier Plaza can be difficult to read during nighttime hours due to the
placement and size of the signage text.Permanent signage with reflective qualities will
improve the visibility of the signs at each zone,and staff is additionally proposing to place A-
frame sign(s)at the east end of Pier Plaza to help direct patrons to the appropriate pick-up
locations.
Proposed Permanent Zones and Related Changes
Based on the evaluation of the pilot program,staff is recommending implementation of permanent
rideshare zones with the following components:
·Pick-up Zones-the proposal for permanent rideshare zones would designate three zones
along Hermosa Avenue as formal pick-up locations (see Attachment 3),with the Hermosa
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/7/2019Page 4 of 7
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 19-0117
along Hermosa Avenue as formal pick-up locations (see Attachment 3),with the Hermosa
Avenue at 14th Street (east),and Hermosa Avenue South of Pier (west)designated on
Thursday/Friday/Saturday evenings between 9 PM and 3 AM,and the space on Hermosa
Avenue just north of 11th Street (west)designated as a 24/7 Rideshare/Passenger Loading
Zone.The re-organization of these zones would shift the dedicated Taxicab Staging Area to
Hermosa Avenue just north of Pier Plaza on weekend evenings,and the taxicabs would still be
permitted to use all other designated rideshare zones.Additionally,the current passenger
loading zone on Hermosa Avenue north of 10th Street and adjacent to the Comedy and Magic
Club will be included as a pick-up location option within the rideshare service apps to serve
patrons of the establishment,but is not intended to be formally designated as a rideshare zone
location and will not include signage as a rideshare zone pickup location.
·Geofence Boundaries-a geofence area,as shown in Attachment 3,has been drawn around
Pier Plaza,the Beach,and Hermosa Avenue between 10th and 14th Streets.The boundaries
have been drawn to capture pedestrian only areas such as the beach,Strand,Pier Plaza,
nearby parking lots, and Hermosa Avenue, while avoiding nearby hotels and residences.
·Signage and Curb Markings-signage will be affixed to current sign posts at the beginning of
each rideshare zone and an A-frame sign(s)placed at the edge of Pier Plaza to direct
rideshare passengers on weekend evenings to the designated zones.A summary of the
proposed signage to be placed at each rideshare pick-up location is provided as Attachment
4.
·Education and Enforcement-as the City formally launches these rideshare zones,the City has
reached out to Uber and Lyft to gauge their interest in the development and distribution of
marketing materials and signage to inform passengers of rideshare zones and best practices
for safe riding.Efforts could include outreach to downtown establishments,distribution of
marketing materials identifying the rideshare zones,temporary sidewalk decals marking
rideshare zones,or participation in the 2019 Fiesta Hermosa events.On the driver side,in-app
messaging is provided to drivers and the program automatically directs them to rideshare zone
locations when picking up passengers in Downtown Hermosa Beach.Following an initial grace
period, drivers who do not use the zones may be fined.
Implementation of these elements would provide the City with a comprehensive strategy to manage
rideshare services and taxicab operations in Downtown Hermosa Beach,provide a more effective
use of the City’s limited curb space,and reduce the amount of time our enforcement team (Police,
Community Service Officers,Code Enforcement)must spend to ensure the large volume of rideshare
and taxicab operations are moving safely and efficiently on weekend evenings.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa,the City’s General Plan,was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.The
establishment of Rideshare Zones in Downtown Hermosa Beach would improve mobility and coastal
access by facilitating safe and convenient locations for ridesharing services to pick-up and drop-off

REPORT 19-0117
access by facilitating safe and convenient locations for ridesharing services to pick-up and drop-off
passengers visiting Downtown or the beach,and support several goals and policies of the Mobility
Element and the Parks + Open Space Element.
Mobility Element Policies
·1.3 Monitor best practices.Consider applying the latest state of best practices in the design,
operation, and maintenance of the transportation network that is both attractive and functional.
·4.9 Encourage TDM strategies.Encourage use of transportation demand management
strategies and programs such as carpooling,ride hailing,and alternative transportation modes
as a way to reduce demand for additional parking supply.
·6.7 Pick-up and drop-off zones.Identify and designate safe and convenient drop-off and
pickup zones citywide for ridesharing (including autonomous vehicles),beach
loading/unloading, taxis and similar services.
·8.7 Transportation network company zones.Work with the city’s transportation network
company service providers (e.g.taxis,rideshare companies)to establish safe and convenient
pick-up/drop off zones.
Parks + Open Space Element Policies
·8.8 Event transportation.Enhance alternative transportation options during special events to
improve public access to special events as well as to other portions of the beach.
Fiscal Impact:
Implementation of permanent rideshare zones and associated signage will require a total of 22 new
regulatory signs to be fabricated and installed on meter posts and street sign posts.Additionally,staff
anticipates adding A-frame sign(s)or other temporary signage to direct users to the appropriate
zones from Pier Plaza.Public Works staff estimates the one-time cost of these signs to be $2,000 or
less.These materials will be paid for from the City Manager’s Office budget for Print
Communications, Promotions, and Public Outreach Materials in the contract services account.
Additionally,the re-introduction of five metered parking spaces on Manhattan Avenue during the
hours of 9 PM to 2 AM will provide an increase in revenue to the City (estimated at approximately
$3,000 annually if occupied 50% of the available time).

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of March 12, 2019
APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH GRANICUS, INC. TO
CONTINUE PROVIDING MEETING AND AGENDA MANAGEMENT,
VIDEO STREAMING, AND CITIZEN PARTICIPATION SERVICES;
AND TO PROVIDE A NEW CLOSED CAPTIONING SERVICE FOR
CITY MEETINGS FROM MARCH 12, 2019 - JUNE 30, 2022
(Assistant to the City Manager Nico De Anda-Scaia)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a three-year plus one quarter contract with
Granicus, Inc. from March 12, 2019 to June 30, 2022 for:
1.meeting and agenda management, video streaming, and citizen participation services, at a
total cost of $142,535.40; and
2.closed captioning for City meetings at a total cost of $110,334.25.
Background:
The City of Hermosa Beach first entered into an agreement with Granicus in 2007 to provide meeting
and agenda management,citizen participation services,and video streaming services for all
televised City meetings.
In February 2018,Granicus announced its acquisition of Vision Internet,the City’s website
development and hosting contractor since 2010.Staff believes the merger can be beneficial to the
City because the combined companies can provide more effective service as a single integrated
provider as staff works on updating the City website and community engagement platforms.
Discussion:
Granicus approached the City earlier this year to propose a three-year contract agreement for
continued meeting and agenda management,citizen participation suite,and video streaming
services.The City’s IT staff and staff from the City Manager’s Office have worked with Granicus to
conduct a review of the services provided and services needed,evaluate the rates proposed,and
adjusted the proposed contract period and rate change dates to align with the City’s fiscal year
budget.

Services Provided
Below is a brief summary of the existing and proposed key services provided by Granicus through
this contract:
·Government Transparency Suite-this feature consists of the live in-meeting functions
including streaming,indexing for playback,and retention of associated documents for
playback.
·Meeting Efficiency Suite-this feature is the software tool used by the City Clerk’s Office and
Commission Liaisons to record roll call,motions,votes,and speakers during the meeting and
helps to streamline meeting data capture and minutes production,reducing staff efforts and
decreasing time to get minutes published.
·Legistar-this is the software used by staff to prepare templates for staff reports,agendas,and
manage and automate the entire staff report review process for Council and Commission
meetings.
·Citizen Participation Suite-this is the web platform,Speak Up Hermosa,which provides
surveys, forums, and allows constituents to provide comments on agenda items.
·Closed Captioning (New Service)-this would be a new feature that would provide live closed
captioning of all televised meetings with 98%accuracy of readability and would comply with
ADA accessibility standards.This feature is also intended to assist with preparation of
minutes,provide the public with another method for searching archived meeting records,and
allow citizens to subscribe to receive notifications based on keywords.Closed captioning
would be provided live during meetings and as a text file after meetings have ended.Closed
captioning costs are based on an estimate of 250 meeting hours per year for City Council,
Commission,and City-sponsored televised meetings.An example of City of Manhattan
Beach’s February 19,2019 meeting captions is provided as Attachment 1.If approved by City
Council,closed captioning would begin with the March 19,2019 Planning Commission
meeting.
Rates Proposed
Staff has worked with Granicus to negotiate prorated rates for the remainder of the 2018-19 Fiscal
Year for renewing and new services,rates for the first full contract year (07/1/19-06/30/20),and
modest annual rate increases of 2.8%for future contract years.A summary of the Granicus proposal

For a comparison of the renewing services,the City paid an average annual cost of $42,752.55 in
Fiscal Years 2016-17 and 2017-18.Staff was successful in negotiating rates with Granicus from its
initial proposal to slightly decrease the costs of the existing service for the first year and accept a
modest increase of 2.8% for future contract years.
Staff has experienced some issues with the volume of spam comments on the Citizen Participation
Suite.While Granicus is working on improving the platform,it has agreed to reduce the cost of that
suite from approximately $6,300 annually in FY17-18 to a cost of $5,000 annually for the next three
contract years and has added a term to the contract that would allow the City to terminate that
subscription from its contract after June 30,2020.Continuing with the citizen participation portion of
the service for the next 15 months would continue to provide the community with access to the
platform for surveys,ideas,and eComments,while Granicus works on improvements to the platform
and allows staff to evaluate its needs for the platform and other tools available after launching a new
website and continue to increase the City’s presence and communications on social media platforms.
Contract Length
City staff has worked with Granicus to prepare a prorated cost for the remainder of the 2018-19
Fiscal Year and then align any future contract terms and rates to begin and end in alignment with the
City’s fiscal year.This shift of the term dates provides the City with consistent rates and services from
year to year ensuring appropriate funds have been budgeted and that services will not change mid-
year.
General Plan Consistency:
The Governance Element of PLAN Hermosa speaks to the desire to support community involvement
and investment,and ensure decision-making and leadership is conducted in an ethical,transparent,
and innovative manner that reflects community values.The services provided by Granicus are
essential to the City’s efforts to provide the community with convenient options for viewing and

A complete video solution for government
Granicus Video enables organizations to build
a content-rich library of live and archived public
meeting webcasts and records without hassle,
enabling agencies to reach a broader audience and
further meet modern transparency demands.
With easy-to-use media management tools,
agencies can schedule and broadcast live webcasts
while simultaneously recording and archiving the
live content to unlimited storage. Agendas can be
imported prior to each meeting, allowing for video
to be indexed in real-time, which eliminates hours
of follow up work after an event has ended. After
the meeting, publish a full and integrated public
record which links the agenda directly to the video.
Empowered citizens can browse published
agendas and supporting documents or save time
by performing keyword searches to jump directly to
specific topics, making it easier for viewers to find
the information they’re most interested in. Citizens
can also subscribe to agendas or keyword searches
to get real-time notifications when new, relevant
content becomes available.
Opt in to HD video for an enhanced viewing
experience or further enable accessibility and
ensure ADA compliance by adding closed-
captioning services. Agencies can monitor
and analyze public interest through visitor and
viewership reports, which break down visitor
statistics, including most-popular content, number
of views, length of time on site, and more to better
understand the viewing audience.
