Re: 2) Implementation of a “Ranked” voting system is overdue in Hermosa Beach:
Raymond Jackson’s, Mary Campbell-Collins’, and Stacey Armato’s city council terms
are all near-ending and will be open for interested candidates to file papers in just 11
months. Replacements are needed for all three seats. It’s a fact that one may actually
run for city council without expending a nickel:

Councilmembers and Others:
The comments made herein by me are offered freely, and they are entirely my views and
opinions on all that I've stated.
__________________________________________________________________
Re: 1) Reluctance of Hermosa Beach City Manager Suja Lowenthal to reply to
reasonable and simple questions promptly:
It is absolutely unfortunate that I had to expend time of my Labor Day Weekend at my age to
address you on the City Council regarding this very serious matter. Kindly do pardon any
typos or grammatical errors in the following, should you even bother to read same.
At the time of this writing I have not received answers to four relatively simple questions which
I sent twice to City Manager Suja Lowenthal requesting that she respond, or have someone
authorized to speak for her, respond. I previously copied to you those emails/questions at the
same time they were sent to Suja, your contract-hired, and extremely-well-compensated
(probably over-compensated) city manager. I have attached the 2nd email to the end of this
communication.
Did any of you improperly call Suja and suggest that she not bother responding to my simple
questions? Suja should have simply responded to me, and perhaps sent you a copy of her
Page 2 of 11
Written Communication from H. Longacre (Resident)
September 14, 2021 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
response. But at the minimum Suja should have indicated receipt of my communication with
mention of when I could expect a response. I’ve received nothing to date. This is becoming
routine. And kindly do not make up some superficial nonsense of vacations, etc. Suja was at
the Chamber event I believe Friday evening.
Are any of you individually directing how Suja Lowenthal runs this city or responds to questions
from individual residents, businesses, or the press, and doing so via private texts, private
phone calls, or any other private means with her? You are supposed to do such during public
meetings, or at the minimum via written communications/emails that remain on the record, and
which are available via public records requests for the benefit of all including your colleagues
on the Council to be able to know of.
Not since the arrival of City Manager Suja Lowenthal (as so flippantly and incompetently
selected by, as I was informed, Councilwoman Stacey Armato and former Councilman Jeff
Duclos) and since then maintained-under contract by the present sitting city council majority of
Massey, Armato, and Campbell-Collins, have I ever had so much difficulty getting simple
answers from a city manager for the benefit of all concerned, including you on the City Council.
Clearly Suja Lowenthal cannot stand the fact that she should have to account for her actions to
anyone, let alone me of all people; a lowly taxpaying long-term resident of Hermosa Beach.
She clearly has shown that she’s far, far too important and elite to answer simple questions
from an old nothing-resident of Hermosa Beach.
How beneath her such would evidently be. How absolutely degrading would such be for Suja
Lowenthal to have to answer my questions. We all know that Suja is just too damn important
to be bothered. She’s demonstrated that for several years now.
And, my God, for the obscene amount you’re paying her, your contract hire, she must
absolutely feel way too damn important. Who wouldn’t? And where in Holy Hell could this
incompetent lady receive anything close to her salary and benefits in the real business world?
She knows she’s way over-compensated, and yet she probably wants even more. Clearly she
has a need for greed.
Otherwise she’d have been out-of-here to another gig by now were she not so over-
compensated by HB. She couldn’t find another city so damn stupid to pay her what she’s
getting right here, especially when measured against the number employees managed, the
area size of the town, the population of the town, the budget of the town. Suja’s clearly
laughing all the way to the bank. Yet she can’t answer my simple questions. Shame on her!
SHAME ON SUJA LOWENTHAL!
Again, Suja Lowenthal is clearly much too important to be bothered by me. It’s bad enough
for her that she has to even lower herself to so patronize the five of you on the city council.
That must really irritate the living Hell out of politician Suja Lowenthal, i.e. to bend down to you
five.
How degrading that must be for her, to have to patronize the royalty of Hermosa’s City Council
given that you five control the obscene amount of monetary take she’s receiving.

Only Hermosa Beach would be so stupid to be compensating her after three years to what I
now believe is approaching $0.4 Million per year in total pay and benefits, not to mention the
cost of her unconscionably bloated department staff of “Lowenthal minions” to carry out her
every little direction, while professional engineers are not hired, while a Public Works Director
position is not filled, and even while the City Clerk’s office still goes begging for its long
overdue and needed sworn Deputy City Clerk. All so that Suja Lowenthal can have her
bloated staff of minions bowing down to her, and having to sit and Zoom meeting with her, day
in and day out while she sits in her luxury house high on the hill in East RPV.
Of course spending of the people’s money so frivolously is a well-established hallmark of your
particular Council. You are truly the Kings and Queens of frittering money away and the
making of poor fiscal and policy decisions, not to mention that every single one of you belongs
NOT on Hermosa’s city council, especially in my view that you are all completely un-deserving
to serve the people of this city.
Unquestionably, you six (including Lowenthal) represent the absolute worst City Council and
City Manager combination in my long memory; unfortunately the most inept, self-centered,
egotistical, arrogant bunch ever. Hopefully three of you will be replaced next year. The city is
evidently stuck with the worst of your five, Justin Massey, for almost three long years more. I’d
take five Hany Fangary-s in an instant to replace all five of you, and ¼ of the late Steve Burrell
to replace Suja Lowenthal as City Manager.
Following are the four questions as contained in the attached 2nd email that was sent to City
Manager Suja Lowenthal and that were discussed in said email prior to the questions being
enumerated for simplicity of Suja Lowenthal responding.
1) Is it true that the so-called "sidewalks" ordinance in any form WILL NOT be
on the Public Works Commission meeting in September in any form?
2) What is the status with respect to the hiring of a Public Works Director, vis -
a-vis is such position being advertised in any manner, being worked on by any
job search method/firm, or whether such is down to a final small list of
candidates, etc.? I.e., what is the status thusly of this important position as to
being filled? Please note, I don't believe the present use of a non-engineer,
now PE certified individual, one having essentially zero experience in directing
an engineering staff or dealing with engineering matters should be, even on an
interim basis running such an important department. I have to believe the
morale of the city's Public Works Department is now near ZERO. The city
has great liability for its public works infrastructure and not having a
professional PE certified engineer running the Public Works Department full
time is unconscionable.
3) The same questions with regard to the Deputy City Clerk? Status, etc.?
4) And lastly, why are these two positions not indicated on the City's website
under job opportunities with the city, even if being sought by other methods?

Written Communication from H. Longacre (Resident)
September 14, 2021 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
By the way, a few weeks ago I inquired casually regarding the number of city employees
(without requesting any employee personal confidential information) those who have been
working for 30 or more hours per week in a “temporary” capacity, and for more than a year,
and the number of such actual hours per week those over-one-year “temporary” employees
have been engaged.
Additionally I inquired as to the position titles of such , evidently long-term, high number-of-
hours-worked per week “temporaries”.
There obviously would not be very many (I should think) but rather than just ans wering this
relatively simple question, the city staff (I assume under Suja Lowenthal’s direction) converted
the simple request to a public records request. Well that’s fine but it is now some three plus
weeks later and I’ve still not received this information which I was planning to also provide to
others including the City Council, with most others being equally as interested in this
information, but unwilling, for various reasons related to their relationship with the city, to
themselves make the inquiry. And thus I was requesting the information for all.
It seems that as an interested, long-term resident and taxpayer of this city, that getting
information from your hired City Manager Suja Lowenthal operation has become as like getting
blood from a stone.
Apparently Suja Lowenthal must believe that she’s still a big shot Queen-Bee politician in Long
Beach. Clearly she does not like being at Hermosa’s City Hall, given I’ve been informed that
she was there very little before even the pandemic hit. Suja Lowenthal is truly the “Where’s
Waldo” of city managers, is she not?
I would like to remind you on the City Council that you were elected via the present horrible
California General Law city election process that Hermosa Beach still utilizes, but nonetheless
do report to the people/electorate.
Also, the City Manager, who was a 16-plus-year elected and/or appointed big-shot politician in
Long Beach, California in years prior to being contracted here, is in fact your employee and
she reports to you. God that must drive Suja nuts to have to serve you?
Some of you may have been in positions in your lives where people saluted you or still do.
That is not the way it works serving as elected officials. The people, the electorate do not
salute you. If you believe that is the case then you would best resign from the City Council,
and the sooner the better.
In the meantime, during a public meeting, you would best direct the City Manager to be sure to
have reasonable questions from the people and the press answered promptly.
Suja Lowenthal should understand clearly that Hermosa Beach is not the Los Angeles County
bureaucracy, and it certainly is not the city of Long Beach, and thank God for that.

Written Communication from H. Longacre (Resident)
September 14, 2021 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
Long Beach was a wonderful town before the resent generations of politicians, especially
those of the last 40 years completely wrecked that beautiful city by catering to their own selfish
personal agendas to stay in power. That’s another reason Suja Lowenthal needs to be
replaced. She’s unconsciously bringing/imposing too much of that Long Beach baggage and
thinking into this city.
Your City Manager, Suja Lowenthal, no doubt prefers sitting in her Rancho Palos Verdes
house, high up on the hill overlooking Long Beach, being a big-shot dictating from her little
office there via Zoom to her bloated city manager office minions each day, and even with other
agency big shots as I understand is now the case.
Unfortunately though, that in my view has become an abused, inefficient, sloppy, half-assed
way to run this small town of Hermosa Beach.
I’d actually be surprised if Suja puts in even 25 real hours of city work a week with this casual
operating setup, and given that Suja probably even counts the brief 20 to 30 minute drive to
HB on those occasions she feels obligated to show up in city for perhaps her minimal window-
dressing of her operation.
Note: I would urge individuals in city to stop referring to Suja as “Malibu Suja”. I believe the
more correct term would be “East-RPV Suja” and in any event Suja Lowenthal is certainly
entitled to reside anywhere she desires, however she should be in Hermosa Beach carrying
out her job too. That she isn’t 100% desirous of being here in Hermosa Beach, even more
time than is necessary, unquestionably means Suja’s absolutely the wrong individual for the
position of Hermosa Beach city manager.
The Council should instruct Suja, since she’s not going to do it on her own, that you expect her
to be in city daily Monday-Thursday (7-AM to 6-PM), i.e. during the city’s 4-10 operating
schedule, as much as reasonably possible (meetings considered) working directly with the
City’s staff, and meeting with residents, and business people and cut the Zoom crap back to an
absolute minimum.
She clearly despises the idea of that and has demonstrated on her own that she’s intellectually
not interested in doing that. That’s why she should be replaced with a real, competent, NON -
POLITICIAN, city manager, and while at it reducing down her bloated staff that she’s costing
this city so much with.
Thus I would again urge the city council to immediately seek a new city manager as Suja
Lowenthal has shown that this city is much too heavy a burden for her mind to deal with.
Seek a city manager who has NOT been a career politician and isn’t one who is just going to
kiss your rears while at the same time driving out all the good employees, those employees
who actually have done the work that Suja’s been unwilling or just flat out too lazy and
incompetent to do.
Also make sure the city manager you hire is not one who comes from a family of career
politicians, and is one who has an interest in this city first, and not one simply interested in
Page 6 of 11
Written Communication from H. Longacre (Resident)
September 14, 2021 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
raking in what I again now understand is approaching Suja’s total $0.4 Million per year in pay
and benefits.
You may not like my memos, but you should know that what I say is near nothing to what
many long term residents and prior officials of this town say behind your backs. Your problem
is no doubt that you likely only deal with your patronizing groupies; i.e., those who are using
you of the City Council for their own egotistical, self-serving agendas. You all well know I have
no agenda other than real transparency, never have, and that’s probably why you and Suja
have such a hard time dealing with my simple questions as well as others’ who seek public
information.
Also it appears to not only me, but others too, that Suja seem s to be systematically driving out
virtually all the good employees with institutional knowledge of the city and installing those who
will patronize her to no end. Suja unquestionably is absolutely the worst kind of city manager
as such, and from what I see and hear, in fact has the worst reputation among the employees
of any city manager that’s run this city in decades, likely ever. Perhaps that’s why she avoids
City Hall.
Suja has evidently duped a majority of you on the city council much as your ot her hire has
managed to do, city council after city council, i.e. your no -bid-contract city attorney, evidently
for life, Michael Jenkins, and then what are his total billings per year now. Well over $1 million
per year, or is it even much more? What are the total costs of Hermosa’s contract attorney
services, and all the employees in the bloated city manager’s office? This city in some ways is
looking and acting more and more like a Bell, California.
Btw, interesting to note, I can think of no one who’s currently employed by the city of Hermosa
Beach, other than the City’s Finance Director, who’s been employed longer than Michael
Jenkins has been raking in fees here, and he without even being subjected since his first
arrival in the 1990s to legitimate bidding for his contract services. Is that even legal to never
rebid such a large contract? More stuff like Bell, California?
It’s unfortunate that I have had to waste my valuable time this Labor Day weekend and your
time to submit this communication rather than getting my simple questions answered in a
timely manner by your Queen Bee city manager Suja Lowenthal. Of course I don’t receive a
penny for my efforts. Never have, never will.
I actually feel sorry for those with a need for greed and constant personal egotistical worship.

Re: 2) Implementation of a “Ranked” voting system is overdue in Hermosa Beach:
Raymond Jackson’s, Mary Campbell-Collins’, and Stacey Armato’s city council terms
are all near-ending and will be open for interested candidates to file papers in just 11
months. Replacements are needed for all three seats. It’s a fact that one may actually
run for city council without expending a nickel:
As the most-honorable City Council some evidently believe you are, you all no doubt fully
understand that California General Law city elections are very much a joke and less than
Page 7 of 11
Written Communication from H. Longacre (Resident)
September 14, 2021 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
honorable much as the present Newsom recall election is a joke (due to the poor California
Constitution specifications) whereby someone can be elected with a minority of votes. In the
case of Newsom, he could receive 49.9% of votes not to recall him, however he would be
recalled in such case and one of the many, mostly-whacko, candidates running to replace him,
could receive a mere 14% of the vote and become Governor. There’s no run-off among, i.e.,
the top 2 or 3 candidates. Also there is no “ranked” voting system in place for the state’s recall
election.
It’s my understanding however that the City Council by ordinance (without requiring a vote of
the people) can, in a ‘California General Law’ city, institute a “ranked” voting system. I urge
your “most-honorable” council to do something that will represent your most significant legacy
action of your terms. That’s to, ASAP, have the City Attorney provide you with all the details of
implementing a “ranked” voting system, to become law at the earliest possible time for
Hermosa Beach’s city council and city treasurer elections. This is long overdue. This isn’t
rocket science either. There are several excellent “ranked” voting system algorithms that
would cost the city virtually nothing to implement. Ranked voting systems ensure that every
voter who casts a vote, will have his or her vote contribute to a far better result than the ‘good-
ole-boy’ elections this city has endured for far too long.
The biggest joke of ‘California General Law’ cities is the absurd, simple-minded, de
facto corrupt voting system politicians wrote into the state’s Constitution for ‘General
Law’ cities. It virtually guarantees less-than-the-best candidates running for election
and being elected, and with the field of candidates often being watered-down with
phony “vote-sucking” candidates who have no intention of serving. Implement an
ordinance giving the Hermosa electorate an honorable voting system without the city
having to become a ‘Charter City’. Do it now by, on other matters, starting the process.

Re: the "sidewalks and public spaces adjacent to private residential and commercial
property" ordinance idea and other matters:
Page 8 of 11
Written Communication from H. Longacre (Resident)
September 14, 2021 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
When I checked early this week to determine if there was going to be a mailing to the private
property owners in city giving some notice (which I certainly hope would be the case) re: the
upcoming study session(s) mid-month (September) in the Public Works Commission, of this
very significant sidewalks and public spaces ordinance idea, the answer I believe I received
was that such issue of noticing is at this point essentially moot, as it is now also my
understanding that this sidewalks-ordinance matter will in fact not even appear on the
September Public Works Commission Agenda, and that it will now be showing on the
Council's "Tentative Future Agenda Items" as pending, and essentially back-burnered for
now.
This being much as CCA has appeared on the Council's "Tentative Future Agenda Items"
as pending now for several years. Note: CCA as listed therein needs to be additionally
described for those not knowing what CCA is. I.e., as being "Community Choice
Aggregation", or whatever its latest esoteric terminology may be, or better yet listed therein
as, i.e., the City Council's interest in providing electric power to the SCE grid from the City
Council’s desired external non-SCE generated sources. Simply indicating CCA initials
without any information whatever of what the initials stand for does not help the public AT
ALL. In fact nothing should appear on the Tentative Future Agenda Items as pending if such
is not coming forth within any reasonable near term. But I digress.
Also it is my understanding that the hiring of a Public Works Director is moving along well,
but I see no evidence of that, and notwithstanding that the city may use certain ways or firms
to assist in the filling of such professional position, I don't even see such position listed on the
City's web site as being open for applicants.
Btw, I would highly recommend that such individual being sought have real experience at
being a Public Works Director, and that they have a state Professional Civil Engineering (PE)
license/certificate. The Public Works Director position should not be filled by a trainee on the
cheap. The public still does not seem to know the reason for the last three Public Works
Directors' departures. I.e., the so-called reason given at the time of each one's departure in my
view was not the real reason.
When I see positions that are open (often for too long), being hidden from public view (not
listed on the website), I'm thinking that someone has a particular person in mind or agenda for
hiring of same improperly. If that is true, then unquestionably that is very likely illegal when
it comes to the proper hiring of government employees. That may be OK in the private world,
but it certainly isn't in the public government sector as I understand it. Hopefully Hermosa
Beach is not recruiting people in illegal ways.
Also, I see no indication on the city's website indicating that the position of Deputy City Clerk
is being sought. Is it being sought? It certainly should be? I know of no other city around
here that does not have this important position filled.
Thus Suja would you kindly let me know, or have one of your qualified extended staff (who's
authorized to speak for you) indicate to me;
1) If it is in fact true that the so-called "sidewalks" ordinance in any form WILL NOT
be on the Public Works Commission meeting in September in any form?
2) What is the status with respect to the hiring of a Public Works Director, vis-a-vis is
such position being advertised in any manner, being worked on by any job search
Page 9 of 11
Written Communication from H. Longacre (Resident)
September 14, 2021 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
method/firm, or whether such is down to a final small list of candidates, etc.? I.e., what
is the status thusly of this important position as to being filled? Please note, I don't
believe the present use of a non-engineer, now PE certified individual, one having
essentially zero experience in directing an engineering staff or dealing with engineering
matters should be, even on an interim basis running such an important department. I
have to believe the morale of the city's Public Works Department is now near
ZERO. The city has great liability for its public works infrastructure and not having a
professional PE certified engineer running the Public Works Department full time is
unconscionable.
3) The same questions with regard to the Deputy City Clerk? Status, etc.?
4) And lastly, why are these two positions not indicated on the City's website under job
opportunities with the city, even if being sought by other methods?
As an aside I seem to never see or hear in any public council meeting discussion, queries by
the City Council members re: these two positions or for that matter much of anything re: any
matter. Are all such queries by the City Council members being accomplished only between
themselves and you Suja, as being the city manager via completely off the record private text
messaging, or private cell phone discussions?
The public and press would certainly like to be aware of, and needs to hear these discussions
in a public meeting, however it seems like everything is being worked up behind the scenes in
private in Hermosa Beach. I can assure you this was never the way things were done in this
city prior to about 5 years ago on such a grand scale.
And in my view such is absolutely not the way things should be accomplished, that is to say
again, with city council members speaking off-the-recorded-record via private texting or
private phone with you Suja, as the City Manager, either hourly, daily or multiple times a day,
and with such actually being Brown Act violating de facto serial meetings that are being
carried on, out of public view. All such discussions between meetings should be
accomplished by email using city addressing such that there is a record for all to view, if
necessary via public records requests.
There is so much that is, in my view, being done downright wrong by the present sitting city
council, its members individually, not necessarily all, that I am beginning to wonder if it isn't
actually in fact criminal as a result.
There is really little if any reason, other than on an emergency basis for any council member
having private discussions with you Suja as City Manager other than perhaps before a meeting
for some specific questions regarding agenda items as posted on an agenda at the time the
public sees the same posted agenda.
Further. all council members have a right to each hear the discussions of their colleagues with
you Suja. If I were to be a member of the sitting City Council it would be very disconcerting
to me if you were having private discussions with other of the council members. When one,
two, or three council members are working up things in private with you Suja, the others on
council are being deprived. It becomes a total quagmire as to who is making backroom
decisions. It becomes a secret backroom operation and it is dead wrong and I believe in fact,
criminal.

September 14, 2021 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
When I heard councilmember Stacey Armato state during a public meeting of how wonderful
Suja was, stating that Suja took Stacey's calls at 10 PM at night, I immediately thought, what
in God is a council member talking to the City Manager at 10 PM at night about. It's absurd,
but more importantly, councilmembers are to deal with the city manager, you Suja, essentially
in public meetings for the public, press, and the other council members right to know also.
Your direction Suja should be coming from the City Council during public meetings. People
in city have come to look at this council as clearly not understanding, or wanting to
understand, how open government works and that it is a Council/City Manager form of
government with the Council giving direction to the City Manager during a public meeting
only, not day to day via de facto private texting and/or off-the-record cozy private phone
conversations hourly, daily, or even bi-weekly.
Government in this city is clearly operating completely wrong, and you as city manager Suja
should not participate in such private conversations and private texting. You were hired by
the Council to run the city. The council should stay to Hell out of such day to day running of
the city other than their discussions with you during public meetings. The public and press
have a need and a right to know exactly what is going on. Note: I'm not speaking to closed
session matters and which occur in closed session with all city council members present.
Please do see that I receive prompt, clear answers to the above 4 relatively-simple questions
such that I can pass accurate information along to others who also are quite interested in these
very same specific items.
Btw, the cable replays are now going into the 6th or perhaps 7th day with just a black
screen showing. There is absolutely no excuse for that Suja. As you know the cable system
was out the prior weekend too. Please get this corrected.
It's such basic items as this undependable replay of meetings in a timely fashion that reflect so
poorly on your relatively absentee management of this city that concerns not just me, not to
mention all the closed doors in City Hall. Notwithstanding the pandemic, the city operation is
in a very sad, pathetic form of its past years and operation. Given that you’ve lived an easy
30-minute or less drive from Hermosa Beach City Hall for evidently well over a year now, it
is in my view, that you don't have a 100% interest in being at City Hall and in city as much as
possible, and that that’s extremely odd.
The City Council, no one, should have to direct you to be in city. That you are in city so little,
in my view, clearly shows you have no real appreciation for your position. I'd be one vote to
fire you immediately as such if I were a member of the City Council.
You have a professional position and have clearly demonstrated, notwithstanding the
pandemic, your lack of intellectual appreciation for the opportunity to be in city, with the city
staff, meeting residents, meeting business people and on and on. In my view you have
completely abused the position as such and also the city council who hired you, but worse yet
the men, women, and children of this city. I would hope you would, on your own, find other
opportunities elsewhere as I personally believe you've done enough long term damage to the
city of Hermosa Beach.
I don't entirely blame you nonetheless. You are the way you are. I blame the situation
entirely now on the present sitting City Council and their apparent "could not care less"
attitude of how you've been operating this city as City Manager. Ultimately I have to blame
Page 11 of 11
Written Communication from H. Longacre (Resident)

the electorate/citizenry of Hermosa Beach who (except for council's own selfish-personal-
interest-groupies and specific moneyed interests) don’t bother to spend even 5-minutes a week
to keep an eye on, or know of what their government is up to.
When I visit city hall and I see what is going on, or the lack of what it going on, I am
absolutely astounded. It's a disgrace what this present city council has allowed to take place,
and notwithstanding the pandemic.
I look forward to answers to the 4 simple questions above and I was surprised after being out
all day Wednesday, that I didn't even receive a single word of reply by day's end indicating so
much of receipt of my email to you Suja.
Thus this clarified email resend.
Thank you Suja for whatever your interest be,
Howard L.
PS: The City Council should never have allowed the HB Chamber of Commerce to take over
our city public streets, fence them off, and charge money to people, i.e., to the men, women,
and even children to enter their de facto swap meet. My views. I believe the Chamber has
done a tremendous disservice to the city and to themselves, and now the best thing that can
happen is for such to be a complete and total flop. And on of all weekends, Labor Day
weekend. Outrageous!

RE: Introduction to NCIS Special Agent Steve Roehrick
Dear Lt. :
I want to introduce you to NCIS Special Agent Steve Roehrick. He is one of the special agents who
interrogated me regarding the multiple false allegations by the Hermosa Beach Police Department.
During the interrogation, I reported the criminal actions by the Hermosa Beach Police Department, and
specifically named you as a dirty cop. Furthermore, I stated I was being targeted for retaliation because of
my August 5, 2019 letter to then-Mayor Armato. (Exhibit A.) Note the then-Acting Police Chief is copied,
but a city prosecutor trumped-up criminal charges. Naturally, the charges were dismissed by the Judge.
We are over seven years into this corruption saga, and it is going to a completely different level. I do not
believe Federal agents will take kindly to being used. You are a sworn law enforcement officer and second
in command, who made false statements to Federal agents with malicious intent to destroy my character.
This is an egregious abuse of power, and criminal. Beyond your false statements, are your overt lies of
omission to pervert the truth. However, my public records and public comments are all true. (Video)
Your best retaliation against me is a year-old Facebook post where I publicly questioned the redactions in
a false police report associating me with domestic terrorism? Furthermore, you are claiming I was in a bar
fight? How are you making official statements on a case, where I was never interviewed, and all records
of investigation were destroyed? What happen to my ER medical records? Will you admit Sgt. Ramirez
testified against me at the civil trial because of his doctored police report? What did you NOT tell the FBI?
This saga is not about aggravated battery with serious bodily injury, with special circumstances
of lying in wait. It is about exposing the police misconduct and conspiracy to conceal the crime.
My case was part of a public hearing before the City Council, where then-Police Chief Papa lied. It is
impossible for her to claim any deniability of police misconduct. Also, if you are telling the truth, then why
object to posting the video? Finally, I believe my subpoena for the video kept it from being destroyed. It
clearly shows I am attacked while seated, beginning with a sucker punch. That is the real issue. (Video)

Mayor, City of Hermosa Beach

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885
RE: Formal complaint against the City of Hermosa Beach for police misconduct and conspiracy
Dear Mayor Armato:
I am submitting a formal complaint against the City of Hermosa Beach for police misconduct and conspiracy in violating my rights as declared in
Article I, Section 28 of the Constitution of California.
During my 2017 campaign for City Council, LT. knowingly made false, incomplete and misleading statements in a October 18, 2017
Easy Reader article, which effectively ended my run for City Council, and seriously damaging my reputation in our community. His statement “there
was nothing wrong with the department’s work in the case” was a lie to cover up police misconduct.
Even with the refinements to the Public Records Request process from the Chris Miller “Standing Room” incident, I still have no records for nearly
an eight-month period from March 16, 2014 to November 10, 2014, and neither the Police Department nor City Prosecutor’s Office will discuss the
details of my case. Court documents list SGT. Ramirez, OFC. McDermott and DET. Smith as witnesses, and I have not been provided the
investigation report from DET. Smith.
The fact the City will not provide nor discuss the records of investigation from DET. Smith only further substantiates my allegation of police
misconduct by the Hermosa Beach Police Department. If there “was nothing wrong with the department’s work in the case,” then there should not
be an issue of releasing the case file, and/or discussing the details of the case.
This is a stalking case, not a mutual combat case, and as in most stalking cases the victim is unaware of the stalking until it is too late. On March 15,
2014 at 6:15pm on a patio at Pier Plaza, Thomas “TJ” Powers stalked, ambushed and violent attack me in a premeditated orchestrated assault
involving multiple people. This attack came without warning or provocation and began with a cowardly and dangerous sucker punch while I was
seated, which was followed by a kill shot while I was down and defenseless. As a result of this attack I sustained permanent spinal injuries, and still
endure chronic cervical and thoracic pain. Here is the video of Powers “in fear of his life, and acting in self-defense:” https://youtu.be/quHMaiMv_n0
Based on the evidence and circumstances of this case, the perpetrator’s father Thomas F. Powers formerly of SFPD, contact Police Chief Papa
regarding his son’s felony PC 245(a)(4), and then she conspired with other police officers to report the felonious attack as a mutual combat fight,
and then bury the case from prosecution. The motive for this conspiracy was to prevent revocation of Thomas “TJ” Powers’ Real Estate License.
Over seven months after the attack, Councilman Fangary requested before City Council the Police Chief address this case along with three other
cases. It was only then, the newly contracted Redondo Beach City Prosecutor’s Office filed my case. However I was excluded from any investigation
from the detectives and prosecutors. Additionally material video evidence was suppressed, and there was an arrangement for a summons in lieu of
an arrest warrant for Powers. Also I was purposefully misled as to the original criminal charges, and the subsequent plea bargain. Finally and most
importantly, I was denied my right to giving a victim impact statement at sentencing. Clearly Powers received preferential treatment as a cop’s son.
There is overwhelming evidence to support my allegations, and justify an independent serious internal investigation in accordance with the OIR
Group report, which followed the Chris Miller settlement. I am looking forward to the finding of the truth, clearing my name and reputation of all
the malicious false allegations, and seeing justice done. I believe justice should be harsh, especially for those who denied it to others.

VI. OPENING REMARKS (City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
City Manager Lowenthal provided opening remarks prior to turning it over the Finance
Director Viki Copeland to go over the budget presentation. Ms. Lowenthal reflected on
the difficult and challenging events of the previous year and how being in an altered
state of living required the budget to be prepared in a way that would be prudent and
establish projections and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. She shared her
goals as the Hermosa Beach City Manager, including protecting city services while
maintaining quality of life for residents. She added that the City Council and City staff
made many difficult decisions given finite resources and found creative ways of
modifying operations while continuing critical services. She went on to share that the
last twelve months were spent doing what all other cities had to do during a pandemic,
which is act with certainty and decisiveness on matters under circumstances no one in
recent times had experienced before professionally or personally to serve the
community and stakeholders without interruption of services. The City committed to
staying open, trying new things, and being nimble to be the government the community
and its stakeholders needed through this crisis. She emphasized that cities are on the
front lines of responding to any major crisis and play a key role in implementing
nationwide measures and serving as laboratories for bottom up and innovative recovery
strategies. COVID-19 accelerated the shift toward a new urban paradigm of inclusive,
green, and smart cities. Ms. Lowenthal then shared the pride she felt in the City staff
accomplishments in the face of significant deficits. Staff addre ssed projected fiscal year
2020-21 deficits by not immediately filling vacant positions, reprioritizing funds allocated
to capital projects, and creating other operational efficiencies. Core services were
protected by investing in critical technologies to make services available digitally. Even
with restrained funds staff prioritized assistance for residents and local businesses
through the suspension of fees of certain services, relaxation of enforcement of some
parking regulations, and the creation of pilot programs for outdoor expansion of
business activities. The overall theme and approach for the last fiscal year was of fiscal
prudence and creative solutions. After fifteen months of this crisis, she looked back at
the unprecedented time with disbelief for what was endured, sadness for the losses and
struggles experienced, and reverence for the overall strength of Hermosa as an
organization and community. The connections and partnerships created and strengthen
during these difficult times will serve the City for decades to come and for that she
thanked members of the community and business community as well. Ms. Lowenthal
then invited everyone to review the Hermosa Shines community reopening recovery
and resilience plan in its entirety on the City website. The plan covers efforts completed
but also outlines the major objectives that will be the focus of City staff in the next
twelve to eighteen months. As the City emerges from the pandemic looking and
operating a little differently these future objectives and tasks were the focus in making
the budget for the fiscal year 2021-22 budget and the recommendations presented to
City Council. This important document serves as the fiscal capital plan for the coming
year and beyond. More specifically as the primary policy document for the organization.
The budget sets city wide service levels, identifies the funds capital project, and
establishes the financial and human resources necessary to accomplish community
objectives. City Manager Lowenthal closed by stating that as the City emerges from this
pandemic it is presented with a unique opportunity to rethink, to discuss, and determine
as a community how it would like to live, work, and play in the future. This is an
opportunity to reinforce and protect the most valued assets while making modifications
in areas that can be improved. It’s the duty of City staff to continue to refine daily
operations to achieve efficiencies where possible and bring forward projects, initiatives,
and ideas that align with the mission, vision, and guiding principals of the City while
recommending priorities to the City Council that serve the community.

V. ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mayor Massey began his announcements by sharing that the Los Angeles County
Citizens Redistricting Commission (LA County CRC) is launching 10 public hearings to
solicit ideas from communities of interest on how to adjust the district boundaries for
electing the Board of Supervisors for the next decade.
Hermosa Beach is in public hearing zone H. The public hearing for this zone will be held
on Thursday, August 19, 2021 at 7:00 PM.
Participants can attend more than one public hearing. The zones do not represent the
only time you can provide input. If you are unable to attend the scheduled public hearing
for your area, you may attend another or submit written comment.
The LA County CRC is unlike past practices when the Board of Supervisors appointed an
advisory Boundary Redistricting Committee to study proposed changes and could make
revisions before adopting the final districted boundaries. The LA County CRC
is independent of the Board of Supervisors as a result of California legislation that passed
in 2016. At the local level, periodic redistricting can help to:
Ensure our County’s diverse population and communities have opportunities to
have their voices heard
Enable voters to elect representatives of their choosing and not draw Supervisorial
Districts in such a way as to dilute fair opportunities
Have Supervisors be responsive to the preferences and needs of residents
through public policies to improve lives
This redistricting process is also important to:
Rebalance district populations so they are reasonably equal in population
Establish districts that are geographically contiguous, while considering
topography, geography, cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, compactness of
territory, and community of interest of the Supervisorial Districts
For more information, please visit https://redistricting.lacounty.gov/public-hearings/
Mayor Massey then provided a reminder that the City and Athens Services will be hosting
a free paper shredding and compost giveaway event on Saturday August 21. The event
will be at the parking lot of the Community Center located at 710 Pier Avenue from 8am-
1pm and is open to residents only. Please be sure to bring your own container, shovel
and gloves to collect compost and the paper shredding is limited to three boxes per
resident. For safety reasons, no hazardous materials are accepted, and no walk ups are
allowed. More information can be found on the community calendar section of the City’s
website.
Mayor Massey then encouraged residents to please check the City’s calendar for details
on other upcoming events such as:
Hermosa Harmony Festival (Aug. 21, 2021)
Annual Glow Ride Fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis (Aug. 21, 2021)
International Overdose Awareness Day Workshop for Parent and Adults
hosted by Behavioral Health Services and Los Angeles County Department of
Public Health (Aug. 31, 2021)
Fiesta Hermosa Locale (Labor Day Weekend)
Mayor Massey concluded his comments by announcing that a ceremonial swearing-in
presentation will be held for Councilmember Jackson on Tuesday, August 24 at 6pm.
He added that although Councilmember Jackson was officially sworn -in on May 27, an
in-person ceremony was not able to be held at that time. This presentation will be
broadcasted so if you are not able to attend in person, we encourage you to watch the
livestream on the City’s local access TV channels, City website or City YouTube channel.

VIII. CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Lowenthal began her report by summarizing her previous update at the last
Council meeting about the unexpected delays in Southern California Edison’s
construction project at 2nd Street and Hermosa Avenue, where SCE is replacing an
underground vault structure. SCE had to obtain a permit from the Los Angeles Regional
Water Quality Control Board because of groundwater at the site.
Hermosa staff received the good news that the required Water Quality Control Board
permit was received on August 2nd and the project is being reviewed by Los Angeles
County to obtain the necessary Flood Access Permit. Staff reached out to Los Angeles
County staff to facilitate any expedited review that may be possible. Once that permit is
received, assurances were made that the project construction will resume and is expected
to take approximately 45 days to complete.
To ensure the ongoing safety of this project, Public Works Staff completed an inspection
of the site to review safety, signage and adherence to traffic control plans. In addition,
Public Works staff also facilitated a mosquito inspection by the Greater Los Angeles
County Vector Control District last week.
Over the last few weeks, City staff has been in constant contact with SCE, asking its
representatives to provide customer service and communications about this project to ou r
residents. In response, SCE prepared a standard Neighbor Letter, which SCE issues
when projects are delayed. But the letter fell short of providing the explanation that our
community deserves, and staff asked SCE to provide a meaningful and specific project
update that can be provided to our residents. In addition, SCE has agreed to directly
contact residents who have expressed unique concerns.
City Staff asked Diane Forte, Government Relations Manager with SCE Local Public
Affairs, and SCE Project Manager Ashley Bee to participate in the Council meeting this
evening to address the Council and our residents. Ms. Forte and Ms. Bee said they were
unable to attend, and that SCE’s policies would not allow others to be sent in their place
because they are the most familiar with the project. Both Ms. Forte and Ms. Bee, in
addition to other SCE representatives, have confirmed that they will participate in the
September 14th City Council meeting.
Ms. Lowenthal then shared City staff has recently engaged the Blue City Network to gain
recognition for the City’s efforts to achieve excellence in sustainability. The Blue City
Network is a free certification system that recognizes cities, towns and counties that
demonstrate their communities’ commitment to healthy waterways and oceans.
In addition to recognition, the Blue City Network provides peer sharing and resources to
assist cities in maintaining and improving their sustainability measures. Hermosa
neighbor, Manhattan Beach, has recently been certified by the Blue City Network. So has
Santa Monica.
Staff has begun assessing the application process and, should the City be certified
successfully, we will schedule a presentation at an upcoming City Council meeting to
recognize this effort.
City Manager Lowenthal then shared that Pacific Coast Highway will be reduced to one
lane in each direction near the Skechers Development Project in Hermosa Beach du ring
the weekend of August 21, 2021 to August 22, 2021 to accommodate the delivery of a
tower crane needed for construction there. Because of the size of the crane, the
development staff said it is not possible to reopen the southbound lanes of Pacific Coa st
Highway outside construction work hours.
On Saturday and Sunday – August 21st and 22nd – the southbound lanes of Pacific Coast
Highway between Duncan Street and Longfellow Street will be closed. One of the
northbound lanes of Pacific Coast Highway will be temporarily converted for southbound
travel. As a result, traffic will still be able to move in both directions. But there may be
delays, so please consider alternate routes.
Ms. Lowenthal moved on to share that Clark Field will be closed throughout the month of
August for semi-annual seeding and fertilizing. She asked that visitors stay off the grass
at this time so it can rejuvenate. South Park will be closed in September, and Valley Park
field in December for the same work.
City Manager Lowenthal concluded her report by sharing that staff continues to implement
the Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan associated with the construction of the new
Hermosa Vista School. Staff has been meeting with Hermosa Beach School District
representatives and community members to assess next steps, which were detailed in
the plan, and continues to monitor traffic and mobility in the area to determine what
additional measures are needed.
Additional traffic counts are scheduled for the Fall, and staff is exploring fu nding
opportunities for educational and outreach programs to promote travel safety in the area
and citywide.

Ambulance (Attachment 1: July 2021 LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance Monthly Report).
Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD)
LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance work together to provide emergency medical services (EMS)to
the Hermosa Beach community.LACoFD has two apparatus stationed at Station 100 including:one
assessment engine (Engine 100)staffed with a Fire Captain,a Fire Engineer and a Firefighter
Paramedic;and a paramedic squad (Squad 100)staffed with two Firefighter Paramedics.It is
important to note that the paramedic squad (Squad 100)only responds to calls for service within the
City of Hermosa Beach.The paramedic unit does not provide mutual aid and instead remains
available for calls within Hermosa Beach.
Each of the LACoFD apparatus have the capability of providing basic emergency medical care
known as Basic Life Support (BLS)to medical patients.In addition,the paramedic squad has
advanced equipment including medications and responds from within the City to address Advanced
Life Support (ALS) calls, such as a stroke or heart attack.
When LACoFD is dispatched,McCormick Ambulance may also be dispatched as the City’s
emergency medical transportation provider.LACoFD provides life-saving medical care on scene and
continues ALS level care as the patient is transported to a local hospital.In the case of a BLS level
call,monitoring and care is safely provided by one of the two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
assigned to the responding ambulance.
LACoFD follows industry standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
which outlines call transfer times and total response times.The NFPA standard for call transfer time
is that each call will be answered within 60 seconds 90 percent of the time.Additionally,responding
units are to be enroute within 60 seconds to EMS related calls and 80 seconds for structure fire calls.
NFPA further stipulates that for EMS calls,responding units must arrive on scene within 8 minutes
and 59 seconds 90 percent of the time.
The July 2021 call transfer report provided by LACoFD includes two calls wherein the call transfer
time exceeded the 60-second NFPA standard.LA County Fire dispatch center experienced a surge in
calls which resulted in the extended call transfer times.
Table 1 below provides the response details for each of the two incidents.

McCormick Ambulance
McCormick Ambulances are staffed by two EMT’s who can provide and transport BLS patients
independently and,with the support of LACoFD paramedics riding in the ambulance,can also
transport ALS patients.
In July 2021,McCormick Ambulance responded to 96 calls for services within the City of Hermosa
Beach which is an increase of 24 additional transports then in June of 2021.The July 2021 report
indicated that 15 calls resulted in delayed Code 3 responses.A Code 3 response is when the
responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to a presumed life-threatening
emergency,which is typically classified as an ALS call.According to the McCormick Ambulance
contract,“response time must not exceed eight (8)minutes,fifty-nine (59)seconds”for a Code 3
incident.
After staff’s review of the July 2021 McCormick Ambulance monthly report and a discussion with
McCormick Ambulance management, the following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
·Multiple Calls: (5) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time;
·Distance:(3)Based on the location the ambulance begins the response to the City,it

REPORT 21-0537
·Distance:(3)Based on the location the ambulance begins the response to the City,it
could impact the response time.The City contract does not have a unit permanently
stationed within Hermosa Beach,therefore the responding ambulance often begins the
response outside of the City;
·APOT:(6)Ambulance Patient Offload Time happens when there are 3 or more
ambulances at a hospital waiting at least 30 minutes to transfer care of the patient from the
ambulance crew to the hospital for continuation of care; and
·Crew Error: (1) The crew responded to the wrong address.
McCormick Ambulance continues to be impacted by the patient offload time when transporting
patients to the hospitals.The local hospitals are managing the surge of COVID-19 patients,as well
as general medical emergencies and adhering to their patient to nurse ratio.Hospital operations limit
McCormick’s ability to quickly transfer patient care from the ambulance transport team to hospital
staff.In these instances,ambulance crews are providing care to patients in the hospital setting for an
extended period of time with multiple ambulance crews at the same hospital waiting to transfer their
patients.
As our transport provider,McCormick Ambulance continually works with Los Angeles County
Emergency Medical Services Agency and hospitals to address hospital wait times.One measure
currently in place is the deployment of a McCormick Ambulance gurney van,with a senior staff
member,to a local hospital with multiple McCormick Ambulance units waiting to transfer care.The
senior staff member is able to take over patient monitoring to allow the responding units to restock
their ambulances and return to in service status for additional calls.This measure has been refined
from supplying new gurneys to chairs to allow the gurneys to be utilized in the ambulances that have
returned to service.
McCormick Ambulance demonstrates a continuous effort to detect and correct service level
performance deficiencies by identifying the reason for delayed response times,issuance of personnel
performance notices when mandatory response requirements are not met,and the release of
personnel upon continued performance issues.McCormick Ambulance also provides training and
continuing education to staff to improve skills and service delivery.
Although the emergency medical transport units were delayed for 15 calls in July 2021,patients were
provided timely life-saving emergency medical care on scene by Los Angeles County Fire
Department paramedics.Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance are
committed to providing excellent emergency medical care,customer service,and response to the
residents and visitors of Hermosa Beach.

Office 310-970-7700; Fax 310-970-7712
Quarterly Summary of the
July 15, 2021 South Bay Workforce Investment Board of Directors
Meeting
Hermosa Beach
This report summarizes the July 15, 2021, South Bay Workforce
Investment Board’s (SBWIB) meeting activities and program
accomplishments during the 4th Quarter of Program Year 2020-2021. As
you are aware, the South Bay WIB is comprised of representatives from
the eleven participating cities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach
Lawndale, El Segundo, Inglewood, Carson, Redondo Beach, Torrance,
Hawthorne, Lomita and Gardena for the delivery of employment and
training services through its One-Stop Business and Career Centers.
*The South Bay Workforce Investment Board has created a new online
self-paced and interactive training course on Customer Service. The
training includes a mix of lessons and exercises, has pre- and post-
assessments, and a comprehension quiz for each module. There are a
total of 10 lessons/modules that cover: what customers want, first
impressions, positive attitudes, communication skills, listening, customer
service over the phone, handling difficult customers, last impressions,
traits of ideal employees, and developing a customer service plan. The
online Customer Service training will be made available to all South Bay
cities at no cost and may be used for employee training. Cities interested
in the Customer Service training program should connect with the SBWIB
at (310) 970-7700.
*Last quarter, the California Workforce Development Board approved the
South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) application for initial
designation of the South Bay Workforce Development Area and the
recertification of the SBWIB as a Local Workforce Development Board for
the period of July 1, 2021, through June, 30, 2023.
*In April, the South Bay WIB received approval from the California
Workforce Development Board to serve as the Adult and Dislocated
Worker Career Services Provider, through June 30, 2025. A Local Board
may be designated as an Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services
Provider only with the approval of the Chief Locally Elected Official and
the Governor. The role of the Career Services Provider includes providing
basic career services, providing individualized career services, managing
the daily operations in coordination with the local fiscal agents, and
managing the hours of operation for the AJCCs (America’s Job Center of
California).
*During the 4th quarter, the California Workforce Development Board
awarded the South Bay WIB and the Southeastern Los Angeles
Workforce Development Board (SELACO), with a $500,000 grant to
provide apprenticeship and training opportunities in the healthcare sector.
The program will be implemented through a partnership between the
Workforce Development Board’s, Health Impact, and the Hospital
Association of Southern California. Through this program, the SBWIB and
partners will provide no cost training and supportive services to 75 local
residents in the following occupations: specialty nursing, certified nursing
assistants, phlebotomy, and clinical laboratory scientist. This project will
help underrepresented populations and individuals from disadvantaged
areas to enter meaningful career pathways while addressing the labor
shortage affecting local hospitals and healthcare facilities due to the
pandemic.
*Under the Bridge-to-Work program, the SBWIB has partnered with
iFoster to assist the State of California with the Vaccine For All roll-out
program. Under the Program, TAY (Transitional Age Youth) AmeriCorps
Members (Peer Navigators) ensure that the vaccine roll-out happens with
equity and prioritizes the most vulnerable populations. The Peer
Navigators are trained then hired to staff a virtual Call Center to assist
community health clinics with conducting outreach, scheduling
vaccination appointments, sharing resources and answering community
member questions. Eligible foster care youth will be trained through the
AmeriCorps program and will earn close to $6,000, $1,300 in
scholarships, as well as receive a tablet, hotspot and other swag items.
The AmeriCorps Foster Youth will also be considered for permanent
employment once their paid internship ends.
*COVID-19’s Impact on Services – The SBWIB operates four One-Stop
Business & Career Service Centers located in Torrance, Inglewood,
Gardena and Carson. For the safety of the public and to reduce the
number of people in close proximity, the One-Stop Centers continue to
offer services virtually or in-person by appointment only. Complete
cleaning and sanitizing at all South Bay WIB locations is ongoing and
aligned with public safety priorities. Each South Bay One-Stop Business &
Career Center assists about 20-30 laid-off workers daily during the hours
of 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. with applying for unemployment insurance
benefits. Recruitments, workshops, orientation/info sessions, case
management, and career pathway counseling are provided virtually. Many
clients are being assisted with crossing over in their short-term vocational
training programs from the traditional seat-based instruction to distance
learning platforms. The Job Development team also conducts recruitment
fairs via Zoom and continue to screen and refer applicants to essential
service employers that are in desperate need of employees.
*Rapid Response services were provided to 15 South Bay companies that
employ 6,155 individuals who were affected by layoffs/closures during the
4th Quarter of Program Year 2020-2021. The SBWIB’s Rapid Response
team reached out to the employers and offered to provide webinars to
assist with the layoffs. The webinars covered services offered at the
America’s Job Centers of California, unemployment insurance, healthcare
options, and financial services. The Rapid Response team will continue to
provide webinars and virtual assistance to employers and dislocated
workers.
*The SBWIB has partnered with the Hospital Association of Southern
California and CSU, Dominguez Hills to develop an apprenticeship
program for the Clinical Laboratory Specialist occupation. Once the
apprenticeship is set up it is expected that enrollment slots will be filled
quickly and participants will be placed into employment at local hospitals.
Last quarter, the Center hosted a virtual orientation regarding case
management and supportive services available through the SBWIB, a
total of 38 students were in attendance.
*Through the SBWIB’s Aero-Flex Pre-Apprenticeship Program, the
SBWIB continues to assists local advanced manufacturing employers with
locating new talent and connects job seekers with advanced
manufacturing employment opportunities. Last quarter, 5 South Bay
residents began paid work experience assignments with an advanced
manufacturing employer.
*The South Bay WIB’s Virtual Learning Ambassadors (VLAs) program
assists South Bay School Districts that are providing instruction and
supportive services virtually. Under the VLA program, high school
students are paid to support K-12 students, teachers, and parents with
adapting to a virtual presence during COVID-19. The Virtual Learning
Ambassadors (VLA) are paid interns ages 16-24. The VLAs receive 20
hours of paid training on several online platforms such as Google
Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Edgenuity, Google Meets, Acellus
Learning Accelerator, Zoom, and more online or in-person at the SBWIB’s
Hawthorne Teen Center, Inglewood Teen Center, or YouthBuild site. The
VLAs receive up to $1,500 of paid work experience for delivering a
minimum of 120 hours of virtual services.
*Last quarter, the SBWIB enrolled 30 individuals into the statewide
National Dislocated Worker Employment Recovery grant (NDWG) making
the total number enrolled 114. Under this program, 177 displaced workers
will be provided with job training and placement services. California
Employment Development Department (EDD) awarded the South Bay
WIB the NDWG Employment Recovery grant to assist workers displaced
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
*The South Bay WIB continued its collaboration with the Department of
Public and Social Services (DPSS) to enroll TAYopportunity (Transition
Age Youth Opportunity) program participants into the SBWIB Bio-Flex
program. Last quarter, the first enrolled participant completed the Bio-Flex
Pre-Apprenticeship Program. The participant is now enrolled into a
certified nursing assistant program which will begin next quarter. DPSS
was thrilled by her progress in the program and will be showing her
testimonial video during future orientations to inspire other
TAYopportunity program participants to enroll into the Bio-Flex Program.
*Last quarter, through the South Bay WIB and Facebook partnership 46
youth ages 18 and older were enrolled and trained as Social Media/Digital
Marketing Fellows. Through the South Bay One-Stop Business & Career
Centers the Fellows receive paid training, a Facebook employee mentor,
and a paid work experience opportunity where the Fellow will utilize their
training to assist a local South Bay business. Over 43 local employers are
participating and the Social Media/Digital Marketing Fellow’s began their
paid work experience assignments in June.
*The SBWIB and El Camino College have collaborated under a California
Apprenticeship Initiative (CAI) grant to enroll 50 apprentices in bioscience
apprenticeship training programs. The CAI grant helps cover training
costs and provides employers an on-the-job training incentive of $1,000
per apprentice. Bioscience companies who are interested in hiring or
enrolling existing employees into this program may contact the SBWIB at
(310) 970-7700 for additional information.
*Last quarter, the South Bay WIB successfully met the enrollment goal of
180 dislocated workers under the Emergency Additional Assistance
Grant. Under this grant, veterans and dislocated workers were provided
with job training and placement services that include on-the-job-training,
and enrollment into an apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeship program. So
far, 76 individuals have exited the program with employment.
*On June 2, 2021, 27 high school and college students were honored
during a virtual graduation ceremony for completing the South Bay WIB
Bio-Flex Pre-Apprenticeship Program. A total of five high schools
participated including students from Citrus College. The Bio-Flex program
provides a three-step curriculum that exposes students to the Bioscience
industry. The training includes Track I-Work Readiness; Track II-
Technical Skills utilizing online and employer designated coursework;
Track III-Work Experience or a COVID adapted virtual experience that is
interactive with employers and guest speakers working in the bioscience /
biotechnology sectors.
*The South Bay Business and Career Center enrolled 5 Hermosa Beach
residents in the dislocated worker program during the 4th quarter.
*Applications are currently being accepted for enrollment into the
SBWIB’s YouthBuild career pathway program. The program is open to at-
risk out-of-school youth ages 16-24. The SBWIB’s YouthBuild program
provides a seamless progression from education to work-based training
that includes classroom instruction leading to a high school diploma and
occupational skills training in construction building trades at approved
work sites. YouthBuild Charter School of California provides the academic
skills curriculum and Habitat for Humanity manages the housing
construction or rehabilitation project sites. Please contact the SBWIB
YouthBuild site at (310) 225-3060 for additional information.
*Last quarter, the SBWIB’s YouthBuild program utilized the Harbor
Freight Foundation grant to train 23 youth ages 18 – 24 in the
construction trades. Youth that completed the training have started
working in the construction industry or began a paid work experience
assignment with local Public Works Departments.
*Up to 11 students enrolled in the Northrop Grumman Corporation’s
STEM Summer Internship Program will have the opportunity to enroll in
the SBWIB Aero-Flex Pre-Apprenticeship Program. Next quarter, 9
students enrolled in El Camino College’s Machine Tool Apprenticeship
will be enrolled into the Aero-Flex Pre-Apprenticeship Program as part of
their work-study summer semester at Northrop Grumman. Northrop
anticipates hiring some of the graduates, potentially as apprentices.
*This past quarter, the Los Angeles Basin Regional Planning Unit
(LABRPU) successfully enrolled an additional 388 individuals in the State
of California’s Prison to Employment (P2E) Program. The South Bay
Workforce Investment Board serves as the lead and fiscal agent under
the (P2E) initiative on behalf of the seven Workforce Development Boards
in Los Angeles County apart of the LABRPU. The P2E program will
provide employment and job placement services to over 700 formerly
incarcerated individuals over a two-year period. The program has already
exceeded its enrollment goal of 705 individuals with over 1,418 receiving
services. Recently, the LABRPU received the 2021 Best in Category
Award from the National Association of Counties for the P2E Program.
This is the top award in the nation that recognizes only one program in
the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Category, due to its exceptional
results and unique innovations.
*2 youth from the City of Hermosa Beach were enrolled in the WIOA year-
round Youth Program during program year 2020 - 2021. These individuals
received pre-employment Blueprint for Workplace Success training and

youth were able to submit 30 second “elevator speech” videos to
showcase their skills and an opportunity to win up to $500 in gift cards.
*During the fourth quarter, the South Bay One-Stop Business & Career
Center reached out to 8 Hermosa Beach-based employers including Burn

ends.

were discussed or acted upon.

Activity reports were approved.
The PY 20-21 4th Quarter Self-Service Activity Report through April 30, 2021 was presented by Mr. Michael

During the meeting, the Committee discussed the results of the Request for Proposal (RFP) released on April
1st regarding the selection of the AJCC (America’s Job Center of California) Operator. Under the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act, Local Boards are required to conduct an open and competitive process to
select their AJCC Operator at least every four years. The proposal deadline was April 29, 2021 and the South
Bay WIB received one proposal from ProPath, Inc., the current AJCC Operator for the SBWIB. ProPath, Inc.’s
proposal was evaluated based on the organization’s experience and capabilities, strategy, staffing and
budget. ProPath, Inc. exceeded the minimum criteria which resulted in an average score of 93%. Being that
only one response to the RFP was submitted to the SBWIB, it is considered to be a sole source procurement.
After review and discussion, the One-Stop Policy Committee unanimously approved closing the procurement
as a sole source and contracting with ProPath, Inc. as the comprehensive AJCC Operator pending
successful negotiation of contract terms.
Mr. David Baquerizo, SBWIB One-Stop Operator provided a brief report on his role as the Operator and the

FIRST TWO APPRENTICES COMPLETE SOUTH BAY
WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD AERO-FLEX APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
HAWTHORNE – Edgar Ramirez and Lizbeth Rios became the first apprentices to complete the South Bay
Workforce Investment Board’s (SBWIB) Aero-Flex Apprenticeship program earlier this year as employees
of Gardena-based Impresa Aerospace. They received Certificates of Completion from the Federal
Department of Labor. Rios then earned her California Department of Apprenticeship Standards
Certification and Ramirez will receive his in the near future.
Ramirez, a 27-year-old Carson resident, was able to complete the related technical instruction and On-
the-Job work processes within 12 months during his apprenticeship - a process that normally takes 1.5
to 2 years to complete. He had been interning at Impresa as a Quality Assurance Technician in 2018
while completing his BS Degree in Mathematics at CSU Dominguez Hills. Ramirez became the first
Aerospace Quality Assurance Technician apprentice to graduate in the nation and be hired under the
Aero-Flex apprenticeship program. “The apprenticeship and on-the-job training were great factors in
contributing to my pursuit to continuously improve my skillset as an Engineer,” stated Edgar. “For
anyone that is given the opportunity to join the Aero-Flex Pre-Apprenticeship or full Apprenticeship
program, I highly recommend it; the Tooling U-SME curriculum and the support/resources provided by
the SBWIB team are great resources to help propel anyone’s career to the next level,” he added.
Twenty six year-old Lizbeth Rios of El Monte began working as a Process Engineer at Impresa in 2018
and a year later had gained enough technical skill development to qualify for the Aerospace Engineering
Apprenticeship, which she completed in 17 months, making her the first Aero-Flex Aerospace Engineer
apprentice graduate. She had previously earned her Bachelor of Science Degree from UC San Diego as
well as receiving multiple hours of Tooling U-SME courses, which were credited toward her Related
Technical Instruction competencies. “Receiving the aerospace engineering certification, it is hard work,
it does take a lot of hours and dedication. Luckily, I had some good support in my workforce, and I do
recommend it for anyone who wants to further their career in aerospace engineering,” Lizbeth
commented.
The SBWIB developed the Aero-Flex Apprenticeship as an employer-centric earn and learn model in
partnership with local aerospace manufacturing companies in 2017. It was designed from conception to
validation by industry partners and employers who appreciate non-traditional earn and learn
engineering apprenticeship training. “We are honored to have Edgar and Lizbeth be the first to graduate
from the program, their dedication is a great example for future apprentices,” said SBWIB Executive
Director Jan Vogel.
Initially championed by Northrop Grumman Corporation, the Aero-Flex employer/partner group now
has more than 20 employer partners and associations involved and includes West Los Angeles College, El
Camino College, Tooling U-SME, and Training Funding Partners (TFP) who helped to create the program.
The program has expanded to include high school and postsecondary students, incumbent workers as
well as veterans and other under-served or under-employed populations. Please visit

HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM
SOUTH BAY WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD BIO-FLEX
PRE-APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
HAWTHORNE – Twenty-Seven high school and college age students completed the South Bay Workforce
Investment Board (SBWIB) Bio-Flex Pre-Apprentice Program and were honored during a virtual
graduation ceremony, June 2, 2021.
Patterned after the SBWIB’s highly successful Aero-Flex Apprenticeship program that prepares
individuals for career pathways in aerospace manufacturing, the Bio-Flex Pre-Apprenticeship program
was developed to expose individuals to the skill sets and many career opportunities available in the
growing bioscience industry.
“We developed this employer driven apprenticeship framework to meet the workforce development
needs common to our industry partners,” said SBWIB Executive Director Jan Vogel. “Employers are able
to tailor the curriculum to meet their individual training needs around a specific occupation or
department,” he concluded.
In addition to the opportunity to work alongside professionals in the bioscience field, students
completed three months of training including the SBWIB’s work readiness course called, Blueprint for
Workplace Success, that includes skills training for job seeking about how to get a job, such as learning
interviewing and resume writing techniques. Five high schools participated including Inglewood City
Honors, Lawndale High School, North Torrance High School, STEM Academy of Hollywood and Verbum
Dei High School. Students from Citrus College also participated.
Diana Santiago, a senior at Lawndale High School said, “I was able to learn a lot about what is important
to have on a resume and I now know how to create a good resume.”
The Bio-Flex program provides a three-step curriculum that exposes students to the Bioscience industry.
The training includes Track I-Work Readiness; Track II- Technical Skills utilizing online and employer
designated coursework; Track III- Work Experience or a COVID adapted virtual experience that is
interactive with employers and guest speakers working in the bioscience / biotechnology sectors.
Gildardo Limon, a Citrus College/Oak Crest Institute of Science participant, summarized the program by
saying, “Being able to refamiliarize myself with various lab techniques was useful to reinforce those
skills, which I can then use in other programs. Also, being exposed to people with careers in scientific
research was useful in understanding if a path in lab research is a viable option for myself.”
Among the bioscience partners accepting apprentices onsite this cycle were Sakura Finetek and
Pathways to STEM Cell Science both based in Torrance. Due to COVID restrictions, Oakcrest Institute of
Science in Monrovia provided virtual career workshops featuring scientists and laboratory technicians.
Funding for the program was provided in part by the LA County Board of Supervisors, 2nd district, and a
foundation grant received from Howmet.
Bio-Flex graduate Alan Tran, a year junior attending UCLA said “I feel the BioTech Primer technical skills
training [provided in Track II] was relevant to my school STEM curriculum and will contribute to my
future workplace/career success. This experience [at Sakura Finetek] definitely taught me a lot about
the nuances of bioscience manufacturing.”
Bio-Flex delivers an effective workforce development tool to the region, which is being used to attract
new talent to the Bioscience industry. The program provides an important talent resource to employers
and increases access for job seekers looking for well-paid careers in this exciting industry.
The SBWIB provides business and employment services for youth and adults at no cost to the public
through its four One-Stop Business and Careers Centers serving 11 South Bay cities. It also manages
countywide programs and operates two Teen Centers in Hawthorne and Inglewood and a Youthbuild
program in Lennox.

TA P P I N G G E O T H E R M A LTAPPING GEOTHERMAL
A r e o u r e n e r g y s o l u t i o n s j u s t b e n e a t h o u r f e e t ?re our energy solutions just beneath our feet?
The world is in a state of transition. We are
moving to a new vision of how best to obtain and
utilize the energy needed to sustain the societies we
have created. Although there is intense debate, one
thing is clear — the world of oil and gas will evolve
to a new reality. This is particularly signifi cant for
the South Bay region because oil and gas fi elds
that were developed throughout the 20th century
will become less productive as they are depleted
and other energy resources expand. What then
will become of that real estate?
Geothermal energy, which is constantly fl owing
upward from deep in the earth, could be the
answer to that question. This energy resource is
naturally renewable and provides heat 24 hours a
day. It emits very little (if any) carbon, and, once
installed, is among the lowest cost electricity
producers available. The challenge is fi nding the
areas where it can be most easily tapped. That’s
where oil and gas fi elds become important. Wells
are, in essence, temperature probes into the
subsurface. Data obtained during drilling of the
wells can be used in modern computer models to
map the heat distribution underground. The results
from those models can resolve locations for
economically accessing geothermal energy. In other
words, oil and gas fi elds can be transformed to
places for geothermal resource use.
Geothermal energy can be deployed for a vast
array of uses. The hottest resource areas can be
developed into sites for electricity generation, and
can also be used for desalination, energy storage
and hydrogen production. For those areas where
temperatures are not adequate for electricity
generation, thermal energy can be used directly
to maintain greenhouses, provide heat for
laundromats, support heating and cooling systems,
and enable food processing. The only limit for that
energy use is imagination.
In addition, geothermal resource development
can also contribute to environmental enhancement.
By diminishing reliance on storage and use of oil
and natural gas, the environmental impacts can be
signifi cantly reduced. With thorough cleanup and
relandscaping, oil and gas fi elds can be transformed
into attractive, multi-use areas through direct
community involvement in the transformation
process.
The reasons geothermal hasn’t been more
aggressively pursued in Southern California in the
past are complex. According to a January 22, 2020
Los Angeles Times article, The California Energy
Commission lists 43 geothermal plants in the state,
most north of the Bay Area and in the Imperial
Valley. State lawmakers have rejected proposals in
recent years to require more geothermal power.
But regulators tasked with charting California’s
path to 100% clean energy are now contemplating
a doubling of geothermal capacity on the state’s
main power grid by 2030.
Recent developments in geological sciences and
computer modeling have made it much less risky to
explore for such resources, making the timing right
for this undertaking. And, because geothermal wells
are sealed more extensively than typical oil and gas
wells, and will reach far below oil and gas reservoirs,
the chances of an Aliso Canyon-type disruption are
very small.
As the globe evolves toward a more sustainable
future, the South Bay region could become an
attractive example of how such change might
equitably unfold, and what it could look like.
The Cash for Kitchens (C4K) Program was developed by
West Basin Municipal Water District to provide water effi ciency
surveys to restaurants and other food service facilities to assist in
saving water and gas.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens, including schools
are invited to participate in the updated program with proper
modifi cations in place during the pandemic to protect staff and
the public. The new West Basin website portal is mobile-friendly,
allowing participants fl exibility to complete a water use survey
online and at their own pace.
The C4K survey collects information on current water usage
and effi ciency of water-using plumbing fi xtures. A custom report
will identify water-saving opportunities, strategies and eligibility
for water-effi cient devices.Technical support is available to ensure
surveys are completed successfully.
Participants who take the survey are eligible to receive the
following benefi ts:
• a mailed, contactless water effi ciency package, free of charge
including water saving spray valves and fl ow restrictors and
• enhanced rebates up to $6,000 per device for water saving
steamers and dishwashers.
To qualify, commercial kitchen or food service facilities
must be located within the West Basin service area and be a new
program participant. The public is encouraged to invite their
favorite local restaurants to participate in this program.

C A S H F O R K I T C H E N S P R O G R A M R E C E I V E SCASH FOR KITCHENS PROGRAM RECEIVES
A C O V I D -1 9 U P D AT EA COVID-19 UPDATE
American City & County, an organization that
has served as a voice of state and local government
since 1909, has named the South Bay Cities Council
of Governments (SBCCOG) one of six recipients of
its 2020 Crown Communities Award for its South
Bay Fiber Network (SBFN) project.
The SBFN is a dedicated, fi ber-optic network
connecting the South Bay region’s city halls and other
local and regional public agencies with high-speed,
low-cost broadband connectivity.
Each year, American City & County gives its
Crown Communities Award to municipal and
county governments that have implemented
innovative projects. The projects are judged on
uniqueness, short- and long-term value to the
community and effective/innovative fi nancing.
The SBFN provides an essential public asset and
resource to city governments as they manage economic
viability during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond
and creates opportunities to bridge the “digital
divide” in communities underserved with broadband.
In developing the concept, the South Bay
Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) saw the project
as a way to promote economic development and, in
partnership with the SBCCOG, and some funding
from Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-
Thomas, developed a South Bay Fiber Optic
Master Plan.
The SBCCOG succeeded in obtaining subregional
funding dedicated to the South Bay from Los Angeles
County Metro to cover capital construction costs, upon
showing that the network is needed to implement
certain transportation projects.
The project’s middle mile ring was completed in
August 2020. To date, 27 sites have been connected,
including all South Bay city halls, and a number of
diverse public agencies.
The project is on pace to have 35 sites
connected by the beginning of this summer.
Lateral construction connecting sites to the ring,
will continue through the fall. New members and
connection sites continue to be identifi ed.

B U N N Y B O N A N Z A A N D E A R T H D AY F E S T I VA L BUNNY BONANZA AND EARTH DAY FESTIVAL
Mrs. Peter Cottontail greeted visitors at the March 27
Bunny Bonanza & Earth Day Festival at Hawthorne Memorial
Center. For 13 years, the city has treated hundreds of children
and adults to the “Bunny Breakfast and Earth Day Festival.”
However, last year the coronavirus prevented the city from
hosting the event.
This year the Hawthorne Community Services and Public
Works Department welcomed hundreds of people as a socially
distanced a drive-through celebration. Cars paraded through the
Betty Ainsworth parking lot, where tents were set up to hand out
goodies and educational information about Earth Day.
The Fine Arts Association passed out literature about the
Trash Can Beautifi cation Project. The South Bay Cities Council
of Governments provided environmental health information,
including Green Business Program fl yers. The Hawthorne Public
Works Department, with Republic Services, operated e-waste
and paper shredding stations and the Holly Park Homeowners
Association gave out potted plants.
According to one staff member, “Last year’s cancellation was
a disappointment but necessary to keep our community safe.
This year we are turning the page on COVID-19 and we are back!”
A water effi cient spray valve is available through the C4K program.
Liam Iriarte enjoys the drive-through Bunny Bonanza and Earth Day
festival. A geothermal electricity generation facility pumps hot water from
an underground geothermal resource (network of red lines) using drilled
wells (red arrows). The heat from the hot water is extracted and used
to turn turbines that produce electricity (Generation Station). The cooled
water is then re-injected underground (blue arrows). For a “binary cycle”
generation station, the water passes through a heat exchanger that
powers the turbines and is directly re-injected, thus avoiding emissions.

REDONDO BEACH, CA — The County's Department Of Workforce Development, Aging and
Community Services and its partners, including the South Bay Workforce Investment
Board, received the 2021 Best in Category Award from the National Association of Counties
for the Prison to Employment Program.
This is the top award in the nation that recognizes only one program in the Criminal Justice
and Public Safety Category, due to its exceptional results and unique innovations, officials
said.
The program, known as P2E, launched in June 2020 and helps provide a direct pipeline
from the criminal justice system to Los Angeles County's network of America's Job Centers
of California.

P2E enables justice-involved residents to seamlessly obtain a range of career and
supportive services including paid work experience at social enterprise agencies,
mentorship from individuals with lived experience, and case management.
So far, creating the program and developing a direct connection from the justice system to
the workforce has helped identify and fill in the gaps in service. It's also giving people a

pathway after prison, officials said.
"Initially slated to serve 300 people, P2E has served over 450 people in its first year, which
continues to increase to meet demand," officials said.
In addition to the 2021 Best in Category Award, WDACS received 34 additional awards for
innovative service delivery during the pandemic. Several recognized successes include the
following:
PPE Distribution to Older Adults, Small Businesses, and Frontline Medical Workers:
Distributed 700,000 units of PPE to older adults and more than 25 million units of PPE
to 30,000+ small businesses during the pandemic. Trained over 160 youth to assemble
more than 104,000 face shields for frontline medical workers. Small businesses can still
request PPE at ppeunite.org.
Expansion of Home-Delivered Meals for Older Adults: Increased meal distribution to
older adults from 200,000 to more than 1 million meals per month during the pandemic.

Since March 2020, distributed more than 16 million meals to seniors in collaboration
with restaurants, union-operated commercial kitchens, cities, and community-based
organizations (CBO). Launched a delivery service to provide groceries, emergency food
boxes and other vital necessities to older adults sheltering at home.
Connecting Residents to Workforce and Supportive Services: Provided virtual rapid
response services that connected 114 businesses and 7,588 employees experiencing
layoffs to benefits and services, including Unemployment Insurance, from July through
December 2020. Partnered with the Center for Employment Opportunities to link 650
recently incarcerated individuals to workforce services and over $1.7 million in financial
assistance. In collaboration with AJCCs and CBOs, provided grants of up to $1,800 to over
1,600 immigrant and displaced workers.
L.A. vs. Hate: This community-centered creative campaign supports all County
residents to unite against, report, and resist hate. This first-in-the-nation campaign
encourages victims of hate to report hate to 211-LA, where victims are then matched to a
network of culturally-competent supportive agencies. During the past year, nearly 1,000
L.A. vs. Hate calls have been received.
Drive-Through Food Distribution: In order to help LA County residents and families
combat hunger and poverty during the pandemic, our Community and Senior Centers
safely and efficiently distributed over 2.5 million pounds of food and other supplies
since February 2020. Nearly 270,000 distributions have been made to families and
residents.
Since 1970, NACO's annual awards have honored innovative and effective county
government programs that strengthen services for residents. Nationally, awards are given
in 18 different categories that reflect the vast, comprehensive services that counties
provide. For each category, a single program nationally is recognized as Best in Category.

3.1 If You purchase Equipment which includes airtime, You agree to a minimum fixed term of 12, 24 or 36 months (the "Fixed Term") as invoiced by WCCTV. The Fixed Term and any subsequent
term are collectively referred to as the "Term". You are bound by these Terms and Conditions for the full Term. You may cancel the Service for any reason by providing WC CTV with 30 days'
notice, which cancellation will take effect on or before the beginning of the next billing c ycle after the expiration of the notice period. IF YOU CANCEL SERVICE OR BREACH THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS BEFORE THE END OF THE FIXED TERM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RESULTING HARM TO WCCTV IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MEASURE AND AGREE THAT
WCCTV MAY RETAIN ALL FUNDS PAID FOR THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICE, AS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF ITS DAMAGES. WCCTV's cost of providing the Service and Equipment is
not incurred evenly over the Term. If You purchase Equipment which includes airtime, the pricing of the Equipment is based on the assumption that You will remain a customer for the Fixed Term
and any subsequent Fixed Term that is later agreed upon. You agree that if You cancel during a Fixed Term, retention of char ges paid is reasonable. If You purchase Equipment which includes
airtime, after the expiration of a Fixed Term: (a) Your obligations will continue on a month -to-month basis; and (b) 30 days' written notice of termination is still required.
3.2 If WCCTV increases rates specifically set out in the Proposal during a Fixed Term, You may cancel the Service if You do so in writing within 30 days of the date of notice of a rate increa se.
3.3 If You are a reseller of the Equipment, WCCTV may terminate its relationship with You immediately upon breach of any of t hese Terms and Conditions (including but not limited to failure to pay)
or upon thirty (30) days written notice for any reason whatsoever. Your obligation to pay for Equipment and Services already purchased shall continue regardless of termination.
Charges
4.1 You will pay all the charges for all usage of the Equipment, including, but not limited to, charges for data used in conn ection with the Equipment after delivery and any other charges for Service
("Usage Charges") as provided in Section 4.3 below. Certain usage charges may be included in the price of the Equipment, if stated in this Proposal and certain Usage Charges are not included in
the price of the Equipment. Rates specified shall apply only during the Fixed Term, unless notified in writing b y WCCTV of an increase. WCCTV may increase the usage rates at any time, as and
when it deems appropriate, subject to Your rights to cancel as provided in Section 3.2.
4.2 You will pay for all additional gigabytes in full gigabyte increments, with partial gigabytes rounded to the next full gigabyte.
4.3 You are responsible for Equipment charges (reflected in the Proposal, or otherwise provided by WCCTV in writing), Usage C harges, all applicable taxes, cancellation fees, late payment fees,
shipping charges and other charges and fees (collectively, the "Charges") through the last day of the billing cycle following receipt of the required 30 days' notice of termination set out in Section 3.1
above, whether or not You personally use the Equipment or gigabytes for which the Charges are imposed.
4.4 You shall pay all Charges invoiced by WCCTV within fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt (the "Due Date") of an invoice from WCCTV at the address identified on the invoice. Invoices that
remain unpaid after the Due Date of the invoice are delinquent, and Service is subject to immediate suspension or termination. A late payment fee of $5.00 or 1.5%, whichever is greater, may be
charged on all delinquent accounts. In no event will any late payment fee exceed the hi ghest lawful rate.
4.5 WCCTV may, at its option, issue invoices prior to the end of a billing period if Charges exceed $500.00.
4.6 If You ask WCCTV for support, service, repair or training we will be entitled to charge You for such support, service or training in accordance with our current price list.
4.7 YOU MUST NOTIFY WCCTV IN WRITING OF ANY DISPUTES REGARDING CHARGES WITHIN 15 CALENDAR DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE FIRST INVOICE CONTAINING THE
DISPUTED CHARGE OR THE RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE CHARGE WILL BE WAIVED.
4.8 You shall pay invoices issued to You on a delayed basis, after cancellation or termination of Service, for any and all Us age Charges incurred prior to cancellation or termination, whether or not
WCCTV is aware of such charges at the time of cancellation or termination.
4.9 If You claim any exemption from any applicable taxes, You will only be entitled to such exemption after WCCTV receives ac ceptable documentation of entitlement to such exemption from You.
Forms of Payment; Credit Card Charges and Authorization
5.1 You may use the following forms of payment unless otherwise informed in writing by WCCTV: wire transfer, business check, money order, cashiers or certified check or credit card. If a credit
card is used, the credit card may be charged the amount invoiced by WCCTV automatically upon generation of an invoice. You authorize WCCTV to charge the credit card for all charges inc urred
hereunder. Additionally, WCCTV may charge the credit card for Charges incurred prior to an invoice date if Charges exceed $5 00.00 or any established credit limit, whichever is greater, during a
billing period.
5.2 If a credit card is used, upon placement of the order and prior to incurring any Usage Charges, You authorize WCCTV to im mediately submit a charge on the credit card in an amount to be
determined by WCCTV (the "Authorization Amount"). Determination of the Authorization Amount is in WCCTV's sole discretion, but is anticipated to be $1,500.00. The Author ization Amount is
considered temporary and is used to confirm validity of and availability of credit on the credit card in the estimated amount of future Charges.
5.3 If providing WCCTV with a credit card for payment, You represent that You are authorized to make charges on such account.
5.4 DEBIT CARDS ARE NOT AN ACCEPTABLE FORM OF PAYMENT. WCCTV disclaims any and all liability for any damages incurred by You as a result of using a debit card, including, but not
limited to, NSF charges.

not remove or replace any modem contained in the Equipment, unless specifically authorized to do so in writing by WCCTV.
6.3 Unless otherwise agreed, ownership of the Equipment will transfer to You upon WCCTV's receipt of payment of the price of the Equipment. Until ownership of the Equipment transfers to You,

Executive Summary:
At its August 22,2017 meeting,City Council unanimously voted to adopt its first general plan update
since 1979,PLAN Hermosa.PLAN Hermosa is the culmination of a multi-year community-wide effort
reflecting on the community and its future and articulating a shared vision.
Zoning and subdivision regulations are one of the primary tools a city has for implementation of its
general plan.Zoning and subdivision regulations translate the policies of a general plan into parcel
specific regulations,including land use regulations and development standards.The type and
intensity of land uses that are permitted and how they perform are critical to achieving PLAN
Hermosa’s vision for neighborhood preservation and enhancement,economic development,coastal
resource protection,environmental sustainability,and community health.The targeted parking
amendments are one part of the comprehensive zoning code update which seeks to update the
City’s zoning and development standards to implement PLAN Hermosa.
At its July 20,2021 meeting,the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend the City
Council adopt the proposed ordinance,which would amend Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section
17.26.050, Chapter 17.44, and Section 17.52.035 regarding off-street parking in commercial zones.

There are no direct fiscal impacts anticipated with the implementation of the proposed ordinance.To
the extent the more flexible parking approach encourages new development,it may indirectly

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH AMENDING SECTIONS 17.26.050 AND 17.52.035
AND CHAPTER 17.44 OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNIPAL CODE
RELATING TO OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN
COMMERCIAL ZONES.
The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does ordain as follows:
Section 1. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 20, 2021, to
consider amending the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Sections 17.26.050 and 17.52.035 and Chapter
17.44 related to off-street parking requirements in the commercial zones (TEXT 20-02).
Section 2. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on August 10, 2021, not to
exceed forty (40) calendar days following the Planning Commission’s recommendation, to consider
amending the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Sections 17.26.050 and 17.52.035 and Chapter 17.44
related to off-street parking requirements in the commercial zones (TEXT 20-02).
Section 3. Pursuant to Public Resources Code §21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines §15183,
projects that are consistent with the development density of existing zoning, community plan or
General Plan policies, for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, shall be
exempt from additional CEQA analysis, except as may be necessary to determine whether there
are project-specific significant effects that are peculiar to the project or site that would otherwise
require additional CEQA review.
The text amendments have no new impacts that have not already been analyzed in the
General Plan EIR, Supplemental EIR and there will be no cumulative or off-site impacts from
the proposed project that were not already addressed in the General Plan EIR. As such, the text
amendments are exempt from further CEQA review.
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061 states that CEQA
applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment. Reducing the availability or parking spots for certain commercial uses in the City
will reduce impacts on the environment by reducing car trips to City businesses and encourage
the use of public transportation or other alternative to driving. The zone text changes are also
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15308, which exempts actions by regulatory agencies to protect the environment.
Section 4. The City Council approves of the following amendments to the Hermosa
Beach Municipal Code:
1. Subsections 17.26.050 (B)(6)(b) of Chapter 17.44 of Title 17 of the Hermosa Beach

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of September 14, 2021
CITY COUNCIL REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF THE
DRAFT LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZATION
TO SUBMIT TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION
(Community Development Director Ken Robertson)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Solicit public comment; and
2.Adopt the attached resolution amending and updating the City’s Certified Coastal Land Use
Plan,focused on the Mobility Element,and authorizing submittal to the California Coastal
Commission.
Executive Summary:
The California Coastal Act (California Public Resources Code Sections 30000 et seq)was enacted
by the State Legislature in 1976 to provide long-term protection of California’s coastline through
partnerships with local jurisdictions.The Coastal Act contains policies that address public access to
the coast,coastal recreation,the marine environment,coastal land resources,and coastal
development; all within the City’s Coastal Zone.
The Coastal Zone of Hermosa Beach represents approximately 43%of the City’s land area and
includes two miles of sandy shoreline,the City’s downtown core of commercial activity,the civic
center area,neighborhood commercial establishments,and a mix of residential land uses including
single-family homes,small multi-unit complexes,mobile homes,and larger multifamily apartment
complexes.The Coastal Zone extends inland (east)from the beach to Ardmore Avenue,with certain
exceptions (Attachment 4).
In 2017,City Council adopted the City’s first comprehensive general plan update since 1979,PLAN
Hermosa,an “Integrated General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan.”The original intent of the
General Plan and integrated Coastal Land Use Plan (LUP)was to replace the City’s Local Coastal
Plan.The last comprehensive update was completed in 1982.There have been several amendments
to the City’s Local Coastal Plan,which serves as the City’s Local Coastal Land Use Plan.While the
City’s intent is to apply for a comprehensive certification of the General Plan and Integrated LUP with

REPORT 21-0492
City’s intent is to apply for a comprehensive certification of the General Plan and Integrated LUP with
the long-term goal of achieving certification of a complete Local Coastal Program,a substantial
amount of work remains to address policy concerns raised by Coastal Commission staff prior
achieving certification of a complete Local Coastal Program.
As an alternative to a full update to the City’s LUP,City staff proposed,and Coastal Commission staff
agreed,to a partial revision of the LUP.This partial revision,focused on the City’s Mobility Element of
the General Plan (Attachment 3),would be a positive first step toward reaching the ultimate mutual
goal of achieving full certification of a comprehensively updated and certified Local Coastal Program,
which includes the Land Use Plan and Implementation Plan.
Staff recommends City Council authorize the amendment and update of the City’s Certified Coastal
Land Use Plan,focused on the City’s Mobility Element,and authorize submittal to the California
Coastal Commission.
Background:
In 1981,the City of Hermosa Beach adopted the Local Coastal Plan.Since adoption,the plan has
been amended with the most recent amendment in 2004.
Past Coastal Commission Actions
Approved Date Description
1982 The Coastal Commission certified the City’s Local Coastal
Plan.
October 1984 The Commission approved LUPA 1-84, as submitted, to
increase the height limits on a 2.9-acre parcel of land from 45
feet to 54 feet to permit the construction of a 5-story hotel on
"Biltmore" site adjacent to The Strand. Development
standards included 54-foot height limit, 390 parking spaces,
hotel signage criteria, replacement of existing on-site public
parking spaces, traffic/circulation criteria, and mitigation
measures to minimize adverse impacts. Initially, Coastal
Commission favored 470 parking spaces whereas the City
required 313. Parking analysis showed an average daily use
at 382. Both parties agreed to 390 parking spaces.
February 1986 The Commission approved LUPA 1-85, as submitted, which
changed the land use designation of .87 acre of land located
at 446 Monterey Blvd, Hermosa Beach, from open space to
high density residential.
March 1991 The Commission approved, with suggested modifications,
LUPA 1-90. The amendment rezoned a portion of the Specific
Plan Area to change the designation to Medium Density
Residential and to change the designation of Parking Lot “C”
to General Commercial. The subject site is located on the
east side of The Strand between 14th and 15th Streets. The
City intended to sell the "Biltmore" site "using the monies to
acquire excess available properties (school sites) for open
space parkland uses and any remainder to pay off the
railroad right-of-way.” Suggested modifications included 1)
amend designation of "Biltmore" site from hotel to medium
density residential/Commercial (Public Open Space
Acquisition overlay); 2) amend the designation for property
commonly known as Parking Lot C from Specific Plan Area to
General Commercial/Public Beach Parking; 3) amend page
11, 2nd paragraph, by eliminating the exception to the height
limits of the zoning ordinance for the hotel site between 13
and 151h Streets; 4) insert definitions and 5) amend the 7th
policy under Item 2 on page 12.
October 1994 The Commission approved, with suggested modifications,
LUPA 1-94, which amended the LUP text to reduce parking
requirements for the Downtown Commercial District.
Suggested modifications included 1) the City may grant
exceptions to the parking requirements for new buildings,
expansions, and/or intensification of use within the downtown
district if the City can assure that there is parking available
within the Downtown Enhancement District (DED) to support
beach access and the proposed development; 2) the City
may approve exceptions for commercial development up to
96,250 square-foot of new commercial development, if
findings are made. Exceptions are: 1) when parking is
required, for projects on lots exceeding 10,000 square feet
and/or 1:1 F.A.R. parking in excess of that existing on site at
the time of the proposal shall be provided at 65 % of current
parking requirement. 2) In the DED, projects on lots less than
10,000 square feet and less than 1:1 F.A.R., no parking other
than parking existing on the site at the time of the proposal
shall be required. As mitigation for impacts from increased
parking demand that are created by new development an in-
lieu fee shall be required if the impact is not mitigated by
requiring additional parking spaces, not to exceed 100
spaces.
January 2004 The Commission approved, with suggested modifications,
LUPA 2-03 to modify parking and access policies to
encourage new sources of parking and parking strategies,
remove the downtown commercial development cap, and
reduce parking requirement for office and retail uses.
January 2014 The Coastal Commission awarded
<https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2016/8/f5-8-
2016.pdf> grant funding to support Local Coastal Program
(LCP) planning. Hermosa Beach received a grant of $100,000
towards drafting the City’s LCP.
August 2016 The Coastal Commission awarded
<https://documents.coastal.ca.gov/reports/2016/8/f5-8-
2016.pdf> a third round of grant funding to support local
governments in completing or updating Local Coastal
Programs (LCPs) consistent with the California Coastal Act,
with special emphasis on planning for sea-level rise and
climate change. Hermosa Beach received a grant of
$135,899 to continue working towards a certified LCP.

At the August 22,2017 meeting,City Council unanimously voted to adopt its first comprehensive
general plan update since 1979,PLAN Hermosa,an “Integrated General Plan and Coastal Land Use
Plan.”PLAN Hermosa is the culmination of a multi-year community-wide effort reflecting on the
community and its future and articulating a shared vision.
Past Council Actions
Approved Date Description
August 22, 2017 City Council adopted Plan Hermosa the City’s integrated
General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan
During the process of creating PLAN Hermosa,the City engaged several hundred community
members through a series of community events,workshops,online surveys,and input during study
sessions.The City also used newsletters and mailings,its website,e-mail,and other means to
communicate with the community about process.The Mobility Element is a result of the extensive
community outreach.
The Mobility Element is intended to facilitate mobility of people and goods throughout Hermosa
Beach by a variety of modes,with balanced emphasis on automobiles,bicycles,pedestrians,and
alternative fuel vehicles.This element identifies the general location and extent of major
thoroughfares,transportation routes,parking facilities,and alternative transportation facilities needed
to support a multimodal transportation system.The City held several study sessions and community
workshops to discuss the City’s mobility issues and opportunities.
Discussion:
While the California Coastal Act does not include a section that specifically addresses
transportation/mobility issues,it does promote public access to coastal resources and states that
development must maintain access to coastal resources and maintain and distribute parking supply
or adequate public transportation so as to minimize adverse impacts.Specific provisions of the Act
related to mobility include:
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 9/10/2021Page 5 of 9

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0492
·Provide measures to expand coastal access through sufficient parking and alternative
transportation;
·Identify measures to provide parking and alternative transportation to recreation and visitor-
serving facilities; and
·Maintain development and design standards for highway and roadway corridors through
scenic areas or areas of special character.
The current parking access section in the Local Coastal Plan (pages 3-6)contains specific policies
and programs related to off-street parking,replacement parking,parking ratios in the Downtown
District, and in-lieu parking.
The original intent of the General Plan and integrated Coastal Land Use Plan (LUP)was to replace
the City’s Local Coastal Plan.The last comprehensive update was completed in 1982.There have
been several amendments to the City’s Local Coastal Plan which serves as the City’s Local Coastal
Land Use Plan.
City staff began preliminary discussions with Coastal Commission staff regarding integrating the
Coastal Land Use Plan into the General Plan as far back as 2014 and has had frequent meetings
since that time.While the City’s intent is to apply for a comprehensive certification of the General
Plan and Integrated LUP with the long-term goal of achieving certification of a complete Local
Coastal Program,a substantial amount of work is still needed to address policy concerns raised by
Coastal Commission staff.
As an alternative to a full update to the City’s LUP,City staff proposed,and Coastal Commission staff
agreed,a multi-phased approach breaking up the LUP update into its elements and submitting
revisions one element at a time,starting with the Mobility Element.The first installment of this partial
revision approach focuses on the City’s Mobility Element of the General Plan (Attachment 3).
Submitting the revised Mobility Element at this time,as opposed to waiting until all elements of the
LUP are revised,would be a positive first step toward reaching the ultimate mutual goal of achieving
full certification of a comprehensively updated and certified Local Coastal Program,which includes
the Land Use Plan and Implementation Plan.
If approved,the amendment would replace outdated parking standards with the goals and policies
from the Mobility Element of Plan Hermosa.The amendment would replace pages 3 through 5a and
two policies on page 6 of the 1982 Local Coastal Plan with the Mobility Element of the General Plan.

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0492
This report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency with the
City’s General Plan. In addition to the policies in Mobility Element, relevant policies are listed below:
Governance Element
Goal 1. A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.
Policies:
·1.1 Open meetings.Maintain the community’s trust by holding meetings in which decisions
are being made,that are open and available for all community members to attend,participate,
or view remotely.
·1.2 Strategic planning.Regularly discuss and set priorities at the City Council and
management level to prioritize work programs and staffing needs.
Goal 2. The community is active and engaged in decision-making processes.
Policies:
·2.1 Multiple outreach methods.Consistently engage in community outreach through
neighborhood forums,social media,the latest technologies,personal interaction,and other
methods on a regular basis.
·2.2 Universal outreach.Utilize diverse methods of outreach that promote public participation
and ensure Hermosa Beach events are communicated to all segments of the communities.
Land Use Element
Goal 8.A range of coastal-dependent and visitor-serving uses available to serve a variety of
income ranges and amenity desires.
Policies:
·8.1 Coastal-dependent uses.Prioritize coastal-dependent uses over non-dependent
developments near the shoreline,unless future demand for such facilities is already
adequately provided for in the area.
·8.2 Coastal-related uses.Accommodate coastal-related uses within reasonable proximity to
the coastal-dependent uses they support.
·8.8 Public access .Within the commercial core,prioritize use of private lands suitable for
visitor serving commercial recreational facilities that enhance public coastal access over
private local-serving residential or commercial development or industrial development,but not
over coastal-dependent uses.
Parks + Open Space Element
Goal 6.The coast and its recreational facilities are easily accessible from many locations and by
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 9/10/2021Page 7 of 9

REPORT 21-0492
multiple transportation modes.
Policies:
·6.4 Transit access.Coordinate with regional agencies and neighboring jurisdictions to
improve regional and local transit access to beach access points.
·6.8 High quality connections.Support high quality connections to adjacent jurisdictions along
The Strand to promote safe and efficient circulation of pedestrians,bicyclists,and other
nonmotorized uses.
·6.10 Paid parking.Provide parking payment systems that respond to demand and improve
ease of use.
·6.11 Regional parking coordination.Coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions to develop
consistent parking rules, rates, and enforcement.
·6.12 Comprehensive bike and pedestrian network.Prioritize completion of proposed South
Bay Bike Master Plan improvements in the Coastal Zone that connect to other bike routes and
paths throughout the city and to the surrounding region.
Environmental Determination
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),Public Resources Code Section
21080.9,CEQA does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the
preparation and adoption of a Land Use Plan Amendment.The application is for an amendment to
the Land Use Plan,which must be certified by the California Coastal Commission before it takes
effect.
Fiscal Impact:
There are no direct fiscal impacts anticipated with the implementation of the proposed Land Use
Plan.To the extent the more flexible approach to mobility encourages new development,it may
indirectly encourage investment and redevelopment of properties that could result in increased
property tax revenue over the longer term.

Mobility Element
The Mobility Element is intended to facilitate mobility of people and goods throughout Hermosa Beach by a
variety of modes, with balanced emphasis on automobiles, bicycles, pedestrians, and alternative fuel vehicles.
How people get around town has broad implications for community sustainability. The choices we make about
our transportation system can greatly affect whether fuel use and air pollutants increase or decrease with time,
whether our automobile fleet becomes cleaner and more efficient, and even whether we can legitimately
choose to walk, bike, or use transit instead of driving a car. A safe and well-maintained transportation system is
essential for the health, sustainability, and economic vitality of Hermosa Beach. The City oversees the majority of
street, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities, while also coordinating with partners like Caltrans, Metro, and adjacent
beach cities. This Mobility Element provides an outline of goals and policies related to the City of Hermosa Beach’s
transportation network. The Element addresses both the mobility and access needs of Hermosa Beach now and
in the future, providing a framework to help guide residents and decision-makers on issues to support continued
investment and transformation of the City’s circulation system.
State Law
This Mobility Element has been prepared to meet State General Plan law requirements for circulation as it relates
to transportation of goods and people, and additionally to meet California Coastal Act requirements related to
coastal access as it relates to parking and alternative transportation modes.
Additionally, the content of this Element is formed by legislation requiring local governments to consider the
greenhouse gas emissions impact and vehicle miles traveled implications of their land use and transportation
policies.
General Plan
The Mobility Element meets state requirements for the “Circulation” element defined in the California
Government Code. The Element, per State law:
• Must include the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares,
transportation routes, terminals, any military airports and ports.
• Must correlate the location and extent of transportation facilities with the Land Use element.
• Must plan for a balanced, multimodal transportation network that meets the needs of all users of
streets, roads, and highways for safe and convenient travel.
• Should define the “users of streets, roads, and highways” to mean bicyclists, children, persons with
disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, users of public transportation, and
seniors.
Coastal Land Use Plan
While the California Coastal Act does not include a section specifically regarding transportation issues, it does
state how development must maintain access to coastal resources and maintain and distribute parking supply
or adequate public transportation so as to minimize adverse impacts. Specific provisions of the Act related to
mobility include:
• Provide measures to expand coastal access through sufficient parking and alternative transportation.
Hermosa Beach Coastal Policies in PLAN Hermosa
DRAFT for Discussion with Coastal Commission Staff on 12/19

• Identify measures to provide parking and alternative transportation to recreation and visitor-serving
facilities.
• Development and design standards for highway and roadway corridors through scenic areas or areas
of special character.
Context
Hermosa’s transportation infrastructure supports a local economy characterized by small scale business and
commercial uses that serve the needs of the city. Residents and visitors of Hermosa currently enjoy a well
connected mobility network that effectively circulates people across multiple modes, including opportunities to
walk, roll, ride a bicycle, take transit, and drive to the rich selection of destinations and commerce across the city
and into the surrounding region. Historically, Hermosa Beach’s circulation system has been successful in sustaining
past and current mobility demands, but as a beach city, Hermosa’s growing popularity continues to attract a
high volume of visitors from surrounding areas seeking to enjoy the community’s distinct cultural charm and
amenities. As Hermosa forges ahead into the future, the City recognizes the need to evaluate, re shape, and
redevelop a comprehensive framework and vision to address changing mobility demands and increasingly
complex transportation needs of residents, visitors and local businesses. In order to promote continued economic
vitality and quality of life within a sustainable framework, improving city streets and public right-of-ways to better
accommodate all people, regardless of their mode of travel, will ensure a high level of access, mobility, and
quality for residents and visitors of all ages, physical abilities, and income levels.
Transportation Patterns
The ways in which people get around are important indicators of the success of a transportation system, shedding
light on which modes are most popular, convenient, and safe. Currently, the City of Hermosa Beach is fully
developed with established traffic patterns. In the United States, commuting makes up approximately 20% of all
trips taken. Accordingly, the choice of which mode to use, as well as the direction and distance traveled to get
to and from work, influences travel patterns, traffic congestion, and time spent commuting to work. As depicted
in Table 3.1, Hermosa Beach residents are more likely to drive alone, and less likely to carpool, take public transit,
or walk/bike compared to Los Angeles County residents. Hermosa Beach residents are also nearly twice as likely
to report working from home compared to Los Angeles County residents.
Table 3.1 Commute Mode Choice
Hermosa Beach Los Angeles County
Auto 80.4% 72.2%
Carpool 6.4% 10.9%
Public Transit 1.1% 7.1%
Bike or Walk 2.3% 3.7%
Other Means 1.5% 1.2%

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2012.
The US Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program combines federal, state, and
Census Bureau data to provide local labor market information on where workers live and work.
Of the 9,282 employed residents of Hermosa Beach, 95 percent leave the city everyday to go to work. As seen
in Figure 3.1, residents commute in large numbers along the Pacific Coast Highway corridor toward El Segundo
and Culver City, up to Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, and inland to Torrance, Burbank, and Downtown Los
Angeles.
Conversely, 90% of the 4,893 persons employed in Hermosa Beach live outside of the city. Employees generally
commute shorter distances from nearby jurisdictions within the South Bay region, including Redondo Beach,
Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Lawndale, Hawthorne, Lomita, and other nearby locales (See Figure 3.2).
Figure 3.1 Resident Commute Patterns
Figure 3.2 Employee Commute Patterns
Traffic Volume Trends
Driving in the U.S. began to decline three years before the Great Recession. After 50 years of steady growth, total
national vehicle miles traveled (VMT) leveled off in 2004 and declined by 8% between 2004 and 2012. Whether
travel will return to growth rates of past decades, remain static, or continue to decline is of critical importance to
decision-makers in business and government at the local, state and national levels.
In Hermosa Beach, traffic volumes on key corridors have been stable or in some cases declining in the last
decade. Recent research into these national traffic trends shows both recession-related effects and a
fundamental, possibly permanent, leveling of the economy and travel, especially for present and future people
in younger generations (especially 16 to 30 year-olds). Looking across the generations at Baby Boomers,
Generation Xers, and Millennials this research envisions continued changes across generational lines:
• While many millennials still prefer driving, more frequently they are choosing low-travel urban lifestyles
with emphasis on walking, cycling, ride-sharing and transit.
Hermosa Beach Coastal Policies in PLAN Hermosa

• Other common explanations for VMT decline – such as the effects of technology, urbanization and
modal shifts for other generations – have modest effects.
• Key reasons behind the late-20th century VMT growth, such as escalating labor force participation,
may have reached saturation and diminishing returns.
PLAN Hermosa includes various policies aimed to develop an integrated multimodal transportation system that
is expected to serve a flexible and changing set of travel demands, including extensive support for active
transportation modes. In addition to the Mobility Element, PLAN Hermosa’s Sustainability, Parks, and Infrastructure
Elements all incorporate and support sustainable transportation. Policies are aimed at effectively managing and
maintaining the City’s circulation system with the goal of minimizing congestion, increasing local and regional
access opportunities, and enhancing traffic circulation by reducing vehicle trips and increasing access to non-
motorized and low-carbon transportation options.
Figure 3.3 Collisions 2008-2012
Regional Connections
In Hermosa Beach, the most direct regional connection is provided by Pacific Coast Highway in the north-south
direction and the closest freeway, the San Diego Freeway (I-405), is located approximately three miles east of
the city border. Regional corridors connecting Hermosa Beach to other destinations include Pacific Coast
Hermosa Beach Coastal Policies in PLAN Hermosa
DRAFT for Discussion with Coastal Commission Staff on 12/19

Highway, Aviation Boulevard, 190th Street, Artesia Boulevard, and Vista Del Mar. While the Pacific Coast Highway
and Aviation Boulevard corridors are predominantly used by regional traffic, they also represent the major local
transportation spines of Hermosa Beach. As such, they must balance local and regional needs in the design and
operation of the corridors.
While Pacific Coast Highway is owned by Caltrans, the City and Caltrans are committed to collaborating to
transform Pacific Coast Highway into a balanced multi-modal transportation system with choices to utilize
automobiles and alternative modes of transportation, including public transit (both regional and local), walking,
and biking.
High traffic volumes have created congestion along the city’s main arterials. Generally, there is a significant
amount of traffic along Pacific Coast Highway, Artesia Boulevard, Aviation Boulevard, 8th Street, and Herondo
Avenue all with unacceptable Levels of Service. This is consistent with these roadways’ roles as connectors to the
regional transportation network.
Goods Movement
Truck routes in Hermosa Beach are designated along major arterial and collector roadways that include Pacific
Coast Highway, Aviation Boulevard, Artesia Boulevard, Pier Avenue, and the segment of Valley Drive south of
Pier Avenue (in the southbound direction). Most areas of the city requiring truck route access are adequately
served by the existing system, with the exception of the northwestern portion of the city along Greenwich Village,
27th Street, and Manhattan Avenue. This designated truck route system directs heavy truck traffic away from
local (residential) roadways in order to help maintain pavement quality on local streets and manage noise and
air pollution in residential areas.
Transportation Safety + Collisions
A traffic collision is considered to be any event where a vehicle strikes any object while moving. That object could
be another car, a pedestrian, or something fixed in place like a light post. When collisions cause damage or injury,
the details are recorded by the local law enforcement agency and loaded into the California Highway Patrol
(CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). The latest report was used to analyze collision data
in Hermosa Beach.
From 2008 to 2012, there were a total of 650 vehicle collisions, with one collision resulting in a single fatality and
10 resulting in severe injuries. The top three cited factors contributing to collisions were: driving under the influence
of alcohol and/or drugs (18 percent), unsafe speed (18 percent), and right-of-way violations (17 percent).
Alcohol was a factor in 150 collisions, with the share of collisions involving alcohol substantially higher on
weekends, with alcohol a factor in 19 percent of collisions occurring Monday through Thursday, and in 28 percent
of collisions occurring Friday through Sunday.
Figure 3.3 shows the locations and types of collisions in Hermosa Beach in the five-year period from 2008 to 2012.
As illustrated in Figure 3.3, the spatial distribution of collision frequency differs by collision type. The areas with
highest prevalence of collisions of a specific type are also areas in which one would expect high levels of activity
for that mode choice. Specifically, the highest prevalence of vehicle-vehicle collisions in Hermosa Beach occurs
on Pacific Coast Highway, the roadway with the highest volume of vehicles; the highest prevalence of vehicle-
bicycle collisions occurs on Hermosa Avenue, the only marked bicycle facility; and the highest prevalence of
vehicle-pedestrian collisions occurs on Pier Avenue, a major shopping center and popular pedestrian destination,
though notably the rate of collisions have measurably decreased since the Upper Pier Avenue Improvement
Project was completed.
Hermosa Beach Coastal Policies in PLAN Hermosa
DRAFT for Discussion with Coastal Commission Staff on 12/19

The number of vehicle collisions of any type decreased every year during the five-year period, for a total
reduction of 32 percent from 2008 to 2012. During the same time period, the number of collisions involving a
pedestrian or bicyclist has remained constant, meaning that the total share of these types of collisions has
increased, as illustrated in Figure 3.4 below.
Pedestrian + Bicycle Environment
Hermosa Beach has many important foundational elements that make it a great walkable city - a feature that
makes Hermosa Beach unique and draws visitors from throughout the area. The gridded street network, small
blocks, and dense land uses make many of the city’s most important and interesting destinations accessible to
pedestrians. Walking represents a no-cost transportation mode that improves health outcomes, reduces
congestion, and improves air quality.
The City’s 22 walk streets provide safe and plentiful pedestrian connections between Downtown, residential
neighborhoods, and the beach, while walking paths on the Hermosa Valley Greenbelt provide north-south
connections away from the beach. However, the pedestrian environment in many areas of town suffer from a
lack of continuity. In particular, sidewalks are not continuous throughout the city. In some locations, sidewalks are
present on both sides of the roadway, while in others – chiefly on local streets – they are present on just one side
or not at all. Missing curb ramps, narrow sidewalks, steep sloping driveway entrances, and sidewalk obstructions
can present challenges to users of all abilities. Various traffic calming improvements are installed and can be
expanded to help reduce vehicle speeds and improve pedestrian safety.
While bicycles are legally allowed on all streets in Hermosa Beach, many potential bicyclists only feel comfortable
utilizing streets where the volume of vehicles is low, or where dedicated bicycle facilities are present. The Strand,
Southern California’s famous beachside bicycle path, and segment of the California Coastal Trail, serves the
Hermosa Beach community on its way between Torrance and Malibu. Other existing bicycle facilities in Hermosa
Beach include bicycle routes along Hermosa Avenue, a bicycle lane in each direction along Herondo Street,
and a marked bicycle route along Monterey Avenue to 22nd Street.
Transit Access
Transit service within the City of Hermosa Beach is provided by three transportation agencies: Beach Cities Transit
(BCT), LADOT Commuter Express, and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA, or
Metro); and includes a demand-responsive paratransit service. Regional transit access is provided by a network
of local and regional facilities provided by Beach Cities Transit, Los Angeles Metro, and Los Angeles Department
of Transportation Commuter Express. Light rail transit connections in the South Bay are served by Metro’s Green
Line; the nearest stop to Hermosa Beach is the Redondo Beach Station.
Beach Cities Transit
Beach Cities Transit provides local transit service for the Los Angeles Beach Cities. Daily weekday and weekend
transit services are served by two routes, Transit Lines 102 and 109. Line 109 runs north-south beginning at the
Redondo Beach Riviera Village and runs along the coast, with stops located a close walking distance from the
beach, through Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach and ends at the Los Angeles Airport
City Bus Center. Connection to regional transit, the Metro Green Line, is served by two stops: the Aviation/LAX
Station and the Douglas Station. Routes operated by Beach Cities Transit are summarized in Table 3.2.

Parking in Hermosa Beach
The City of Hermosa Beach has substantial commercial, retail, restaurant, and other non-residential uses that
create a unique mix of parking demand due to the distinct character of the community and walkability of the
downtown core. With most of the city’s land uses developed between 1900 and the 1960s, a residential
population density that is among the highest of coastal communities in California, and a significant volume of
visitors to the beach and commercial areas, automobile parking is a coveted resource in Hermosa Beach.
Parking Supply
There are a total of just over 4,400 public parking spaces in the City’s Coastal Zone. The majority of public parking
within the Coastal Zone in Hermosa Beach is provided through on-street parking within or adjacent to residential
uses, with additional on and off-street metered parking provided in the commercial core, and a number of free
long-term parking areas available at no cost at City facilities, parks, and recreational facilities.
Within the Coastal Zone, metered parking is available on Hermosa Avenue, on streets west of Hermosa Avenue
near the Hermosa Pier, on Pier Avenue between Hermosa Avenue and Valley Drive, and on local streets between
Hermosa Avenue and Manhattan Avenue near the northern and southern City limits. Time-limited, free street
parking is available on most other streets between Hermosa Avenue and Valley Drive. Off-street municipal
parking is available near Pier Plaza at parking lots that are individually metered and with kiosk payment systems.
Free unmetered parking is available in City parks, by the Community Center, and on a majority of local streets
throughout the remainder of the city except during street sweeping times.
An appropriate quantity of well managed automobile parking is necessary for the success of the city’s businesses
and for the quality of life of its car-owning residents. The efficient provision and management of parking can help
provide sufficient space for vehicles while also encouraging more efficient use of existing facilities, reducing the
impact of parking facilities, and reducing automobile use.
Of the 4,400 parking spaces in the Coastal Zone, more than 400 can be found in one of three public parking lots
located west of Hermosa Avenue near the beach, while approximately 1,500 of the on-street spaces are metered.
For purposes of analysis and development of applicable policies, the Coastal Zone was divided into eight
subzones based on various land use and parking characteristics with the following geographic limits:

Parking Occupancy Rates
The parking occupancy analysis paints a detailed picture of how public on-street, public off-street, and private
off-street parking is utilized in the Coastal Zone. There is currently significant demand for parking in the Coastal
Zone, though it varies significantly by time of day, day of week, and geographic area. This is a result of limited
on-street parking and relatively few off-street parking spaces given the number of dwelling units and visitors.
Occupancy in the Coastal Zone is lightest on weekday afternoons and heaviest on weekend afternoons, with
occupancy in the commercial zones on weekday evenings more similar to that of afternoons on weekdays than
on weekends and more similar to weekday afternoons in residential areas.
Table 3.6 and Figure 3.6 present the number and percent of occupied public parking spaces during a weekday
afternoon, weekday evening, and weekend afternoon, respectively.

In general, all odd numbered zones, or zones that border the beach experience higher levels of parking
occupancy than zones further away from the beach, which is expected due to a high rate of beachgoers
during summer months. In all zones, peak occupancy occurred during the weekend afternoon. In particular,
weekend afternoon occupancy rates exceeded optimal capacity in the following zones:
• Zone 1: Walk Street – North End (average occupancy of 91%);
• Zone 3: Walk Street – Sand Section North (average occupancy of 88%);
• Zone 5: Walk Street – Downtown (average occupancy of 94%);
• Zone 7: Walk Street – Sand Section – Herondo (average occupancy of 97%), and
• Zone 8: Sand Section – Cypress (average occupancy of 100%).
Weekday evening occupancy only exceeded optimal capacity in Zone 8 (Sand Section – Cypress, occupancy
of 86%). All zones, except Zone 6 (Sand Section – Civic Center), experienced the lowest levels of occupancy
during the weekday afternoon (average occupancy of 62%).

Preferential Parking Permit Program
In 1984, the City sought and obtained a permit from the Coastal Commission to implement a preferential parking
permit program that offers permits to residences within the impacted area of the Coastal Zone to park near their
residence so long as conditions are met that ensure parking remains available to the general public and coastal
visitors. The permit has undergone amendments in 1989, 1992, 1998, and 2004, with the amendment approved in
2004 requiring the following conditions be met. In addition to caps on the cost of a daily permit/hourly meter
rates, hours of enforcement, and provision of signage to indicate the availability of public parking, the permit
requires that the City shall provide:
• no fewer than 1,100 metered parking spaces within two blocks of the beach (yellow meters) that
allow parking for no less than six hours and that accepts coins for up to six hours per visit;
• no fewer than 440 short-term, two- to three-hour public, metered, commercial spaces on streets and
public lots; and
• an accessible supply of free, long-term (6 or more hours minimum), remote public parking spaces of
no less than 320 spaces available on weekdays and no less than 396 spaces available on weekends
and holidays.
The geographic borders of the Residential Parking Permit District are nearly contiguous with the Coastal Zone
boundary. Residential parking permit holders are allowed to park at 24-hour meters without paying the meter, or
in one-hour residential zones without regard to the time limit for up to 72 hours. Employees of local businesses are
also entitled to purchase parking permits for an additional fee in designated areas.
Electric Vehicle Parking
The number of electrical vehicle owners and drivers in Hermosa Beach has expanded dramatically as the number
of model options has increased and the availability of state and federal rebates and incentives continues.
According to the California Air Resources Board, approximately 285 electric vehicle rebates totaling $578,300
have been issued to residents or businesses in Hermosa Beach between 2012 and 2015.
To serve the growing number of electric vehicle drivers, including residents, shoppers, and visitors, the City of
Hermosa Beach has installed several electric vehicle charging stations at parking lots throughout the city. Lot C
provides three electric vehicle charging stations on the third floor of the parking facility; the parking lot at City
Hall provides two charging stations, and an additional set of charging stations are provided on Pier Avenue. In
2016, an additional 10 dual port meters will be installed at City facilities, parks and public spaces to provide an
additional 20 electric vehicle charging spaces. At present, the City does not charge for parking in these spaces
as a further incentive.
Neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) are also a common form of transportation in Hermosa Beach and are
offered free parking at silver meters.
Intended Mobility System + Street Network
The intended mobility system of street classifications, pedestrian facilities, bicycle facilities, and transportation
amenities will direct future roadway improvements and performance measurement for new and reconfigured
streets to carry out mobility priorities more effectively and to balance the needs of all travel modes. Key highlights
of the proposed mobility systems and street network include:
• Greater emphasis on east-west connections.
• Greater emphasis on pedestrian realm and complete network.
• Bike facility moved from 8th Street to 5th/6th Street.
Hermosa Beach Coastal Policies in PLAN Hermosa

• Identification of multi-use path connections to parks, schools, and key destinations.
Definitions of street classifications consider surrounding land uses and designate priority levels for different travel
modes within each street type. Combined, the types represent a hierarchical network linked to typical design
standards and anticipated traffic levels. Table 3.9 and Figures 3.7 through 3.10 delineate the planned mobility
network.

Benefits of a Multi-Modal Transportation System
A comprehensive multi-modal transportation system is critical in Hermosa Beach’s urbanized environment where
there is both a growing desire for additional transportation choice, and limited street right of way to expand
streets for more vehicles and parking. By creating a high-quality multi-modal transportation network in Hermosa
Beach, there are many co-benefits including a range of economic, health, sustainability, and safety benefits, all
of which contribute to the high quality of life in Hermosa Beach.
Quality of Life. A diversified transportation system increases the quality of life for Hermosa Beach residents,
businesses, and visitors. It gives users the option to walk, bike, or take transit, rather than sit in traffic, while
simultaneously reducing congestion for those that need or want to drive. It leads to a higher quality urban
environment where people can spend time outside and be physically active on streets that aren’t dominated
by auto traffic, congestion, and parking, including the noise, pollution, and stress that comes with driving.
Public Health. Walkable communities generally have lower rates of obesity, heart disease, fewer air quality issues,
and higher levels of physical activity by residents. Bicycling also brings significant health benefits. Active
transportation options are especially important for seniors and children, two groups particularly vulnerable to
health complications related to a sedentary lifestyle.
Sustainability. Less auto use means less air pollution, soil and water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Today
and into the future, autos and trucks will continue to emit significant amounts of pollutants. These pollutants
undermine our air quality, flow into our storm drains, and coat our streets, buildings, and open spaces. In addition,
transportation is responsible for the greatest proportion of greenhouse gas emissions in the city (54% as of 2010).
By providing a range of sustainable transportation choices, Hermosa Beach can reduce its impacts on the
environment, both locally and globally.
Economic Vitality. There is a connection between a multi-modal transportation system and the economic vitality
of a place. Many people are attracted to environments that are walkable, bikeable, and accessible by public
transit. For example, creating attractive and pedestrian-friendly shopping areas draws people to commercial
corridors and into the public realm that might otherwise drive through without stopping. Studies show that
commercial and residential districts with walkable and bikeable streets have higher real estate values and sales
than comparable auto-oriented districts.
Public Safety. One of the principal tenets of the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design concept is
“natural surveillance” by designing the built environment to maximize the number of eyes on the street and public
spaces. By increasing the amount of bicycle and pedestrian activity, streets and public spaces are increasingly
visible and foster positive social interaction among legitimate users of the space, making potential offenders feel
increased scrutiny and limitations on their escape routes.
Goals and Policies
The community’s unified vision for the future of mobility in Hermosa Beach was established through close
collaboration among Hermosa residents and City staff. Through a series of public outreach, workshops, and
community meetings, the City has framed what residents have prioritized as key objectives that will guide
potential changes and improvements to the City’s existing transportation system. To help the community achieve
its vision of a robust, balanced, and multimodal-oriented transportation network, the Mobility Element is organized
around goals to improve safety, enhance access, and support greater choice in transportation options.
To address changing trends in travel preferences, vehicles types, fuel prices, and community demographics,
Hermosa’s transportation choices will be formed by the need for flexible and resilient options that will help the
city thrive. Hermosa’s approach to transportation will play a key role in promoting and maintaining the economic,
social, and environmental health of the community for generations to come.

Goal 4. A parking system that meets the parking needs and
demand of residents, visitors, and employees in an efficient
and cost-effective manner.
With limited land resources and high-demand for parking resources in the Coastal Zone, the City seeks
to manage these public parking resources in a manner that balances coastal access requirements
with efficient use of the City’s limited land resources, and achievement of the City’s economic
development and mobility goals. Innovative parking management solutions are needed to optimize
the availability of both private and public parking for different users, encourage alternative modes of
transportation to reduce parking demand, and create an enhanced parking experience for those that
utilize vehicles to access the beach and commercial areas.
Policies
4.1 Public parking management program. Manage the City’s public parking spaces through a comprehensive
parking management program that prioritizes use and availability of public parking areas for the general public
to maximize the public’s ability to access recreational areas and the coast.
4.2 Maximize coastal access. Ensure parking facilities and costs of such facilities are not a barrier to beach access
by the public and allow a range of fee opportunities to accommodate persons of all income ranges.
4.3 Optimize parking availability. The City’s parking management program shall optimize parking availability
through dynamically adjusted pricing and new technology to manage available spaces for short-term parking
use to encourage rates of turnover that are responsive to fluctuating demands.
4.4 Visitor parking information. Manage information about passes and accessing public parking lots to facilitate
use by longer-distance visitors with limited transportation choices.
4.5 Public parking wayfinding signage. Directional signage shall be provided from Pacific Coast Highway and
other major access routes to the beach, parking lots, and the Pier and include information on alternative parking
within reasonable walking distance of the beach, other transit modes, and real-time parking availability.
4.6 Shared parking. Facilitate park-once and shared parking policies among private developments that
contribute to a shared parking supply and interconnect with adjacent parking facilities. Parking facilities in new
commercial or office developments, and conversions of existing structures are encouraged to be made
available for public use during hours when the public beach parking lots are open and when the business is not
in operation, which may include weekends, major holidays and evenings.
4.7 Curb management practices. Survey existing public rights-of-way to identify areas where additional public
access amenities (such as drop off zones, bicycle parking, or pedestrian amenities) could be provided in areas
where red curbs or other restrictions exist. Prohibit the imposition of new red curbs and restricted parking areas
unless required for public safety needs.
4.8 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.

4.9 Commercial parking standards. Optimize parking development standards to ensure they are sufficient to
make prime public parking spaces in commercial areas available for customers and other short-term users
throughout the day, while ensuring that other parking demands are also served in the area, including visitors of
the coast.
4.10 Parking in-lieu program. In lieu of providing all of the required parking spaces for new or expanded
development, a property owner may instead provide a parking in-lieu fee to the City, to be used for construction
of new parking facilities, establishment of public use beach “drop-off zones” in conjunction with a signage
program from the drop-off zone to a nearby parking facility, funding for new or expanded paratransit to and
from the beach/Pier, or other purpose that has been determined to contribute toward adequately offsetting any
public access impacts that may result from the reduction in required parking spaces.
4.11 Reduce impacts. Reduce spillover parking impacts due to employee parking and seasonal and event-
based demands. Events shall be managed to protect coastal access parking and residential parking for the
intended users to the maximum extent feasible.
4.12 Preferential parking program. Periodically study and evaluate the current inventory of public parking supply
and update the preferential parking program to ensure public parking resources are being effectively managed
and allocated to maximize public access consistent with the intent of the Coastal Development Permit for the
program.
4.13 Consolidated parking facilities. Consider the development of new small-scale parking structures or shared
facilities outside of the Downtown core and incorporate adaptability standards so that they may serve other uses
in the future.
Goal 5. A robust low cost and low carbon transportation
system that promotes the City’s environmental sustainability
and stewardship goals in support of social and economic
objectives.
Aimed at reducing transportation-related environmental impacts, the development of a multimodal
transportation network allows travelers the flexibility of choosing sustainable and low cost
transportation choices that promote and improve public health, environmental quality, and overall
quality of life. Low or no carbon travel options will be supported by the City, and barriers to their use
will be addressed through the City’s transportation investments. Affordable transportation solutions will
be supported by the City to ensure mobility for all members of the community and to maintain access
to goods and services for older residents to age in place.
Policies
5.1 Prioritize development of infrastructure. Prioritize the development of roadway and parking infrastructure that
encourages private electric and other low carbon vehicle ownership and use throughout the city.
5.2 Local transit system. Develop a local transit system that facilitates efficient transport of residents, hotel guests,
and beach goers between activity centers, and to Downtown businesses and the beach.

connected, and multimodal development that supports reduced trip generation, trip lengths, and greater ability
to utilize alternative modes of travel.
5.7 Bicycle rental opportunities. Identify (or encourage) opportunities for bicycle rental in the Coastal Zone to
encourage cycling as a recreational activity.
Goal 6. A regionally integrated transportation system that
provides local and regional connections to regional transit
services, bicycle facilities, and other inter-modal facilities.
The City will take advantage of improved street connectivity and resulting reductions in travel distances
between destinations, enhanced local and regional accessibility through increasing route options for
a variety of travel modes, and improved overall walking and bicycling conditions to support and
encourage regional connections for all modes.
Policies
6.1 Regional network. Work with government agencies and private sector companies to develop a
comprehensive, regionally integrated transportation network that connects the community to surrounding cities.
6.2 Regional travel patterns. Consider regional travel patterns when collaborating on regional transit and
transportation projects to ensure investments facilitate greater mobility and access for residents, businesses, and
visitors to and from Hermosa Beach.

Goal 8. Facilitate sustainable, effective, and safe movement
of goods and commercial vehicles.
With commerce and provision of goods an essential component to the economic vitality of Hermosa
Beach, it is necessary to ensure that commercial vehicles are expressly allowed and provided efficient
access and circulation to businesses. However, when commercial vehicles are not properly operated,
they can have detrimental effects on the environment enjoyed by nearby residents, business
customers, and public spaces by contributing noise, air pollution, and reduced safety. Hermosa Beach
is committed to promoting the commercial movement of goods and service vehicles in and around
Hermosa Beach in a manner that protects the health, safety and well-being of residents and the
environment.
Policies
8.1 Minimize truck impacts. Maintain and regularly re-evaluate the designation of truck routes to minimize the
negative impacts of trucking through the city.
8.2 Prohibit excessive idling. Discourage commercial vehicles from excessive idling during deliveries and while
parked.
8.3 Commercial loading zones. Encourage businesses to provide commercial loading zones on-site where
possible, or in the adjacent public right-of-way in a manner that balances the needs of businesses with the impact
on traffic conditions and at appropriate delivery times.
8.4 Utilize alleys. Encourage alleys for access for parking, delivery loading/unloading and trash collection and,
where possible, provide additional green space and pedestrian amenities.
8.5 Utilize technology. Encourage commercial vehicles to utilize technologies that minimize air pollution, fuel use,

REPORT 21-0541
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of September 14, 2021
ADOPTION OF THE COVID-19 VACCINATION POLICY
(Deputy City Manager Angela Crespi)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Extend the COVID-19 vaccination policy to contractors, volunteers, and commissioners;
2.Approve the adoption of the COVID-19 vaccination policy; and
3.Approve a professional service agreement with Veritas Testing for COVID-19 diagnostics
testing services.
Executive Summary:
At the August 10,2021 meeting,City Council authorized the City Manager to draft a policy requiring
City staff to be vaccinated,complete weekly testing,or otherwise be compliant with the City’s
vaccination policy as a condition of employment.The Council further directed vaccination or testing to
remain in place until the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)approved any one of the COVID-19
vaccines,at which point the requirement would transition to a mandate that staff be vaccinated within
60-days.With the motion,City Council authorized staff to commence the required meet and confer
process with the City’s labor associations and directed staff to return to Council with a draft policy.
Staff has commenced and participated in the required meet and confer process,discussing impacts
of the mandatory vaccination policy with the City’s labor groups,and made modifications to the policy
and forms where possible in response to the meet and confer discussions.Additionally,staff informed
contractors,volunteers,and commissioners of the recommendation to extend the policy to these
groups.Staff recommends City Council confirm the recommendation to extend the policy to
contractors,volunteers,and commissioners;adopt the COVID-19 policy requiring full vaccination by
October 22,2021 (60-days from FDA approval of the Pfizer vaccine on August 23,2021);and
approve a professional services agreement to secure diagnostic testing services required to
implement the policy.
Background:
On July 26,2021,the State Department of Public Health issued an executive order requiring
vaccination verification,weekly and/or bi-weekly COVID-19 testing,and additional masking
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 9/10/2021Page 1 of 9

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0541
vaccination verification,weekly and/or bi-weekly COVID-19 testing,and additional masking
requirements for three categories of high-risk settings.The three categories include:A)acute
healthcare and long-term settings;B)high-risk congregate settings;and C)other healthcare settings.
State and local correctional facilities and detention centers are identified in category B,which
includes the jail facility operated by the Hermosa Beach Police Department.
The order requires the City to document proof of vaccination from police department personnel
working in the jail setting,requires nonvaccinated staff to wear FDA-cleared surgical masks while
providing respirators (N95 masks)upon request,and requires unvaccinated or partially vaccinated
workers to be tested at least once weekly with either a PCR or antigen test until fully vaccinated.The
State order took effect on August 9,2021 and required full compliance by August 23,2021.The City
is in compliance with the State order and has received the appropriate documentation and
commenced weekly testing for the identified group of staff in the order.Attachment 1:Link to the
State of California Department of Public Health Executive Order for High-Risk Settings.
At the August 10,2021 meeting,City Council authorized the City Manager to draft a policy requiring
City staff to be vaccinated,complete weekly testing,or otherwise be compliant with the City’s
vaccination policy as a condition of employment.With the motion,City Council authorized staff to
commence the required meet and confer process with the City’s labor associations and directed staff
to return to Council with a draft policy for review prior to implementation.
The cities of Santa Monica and Inglewood have already adopted similar COVID-19 polices and are
requiring full vaccination of staff as a condition of employment by October 29,2021 and November 1,
2021 respectively.

Discussion:
Protecting our City workforce has been,and continues to be,a high priority in the City’s COVID-19
emergency response.Workplace protocols such as facial coverings,telecommuting,and daily
temperature checks,along with attestation forms,are continuously refined to meet safety and
operational needs.In accordance with the City’s duty to provide and maintain a workplace that is free
of known hazards,these protocols are important components to safeguarding the health of the City’s
staff and their families, the City’s visitors, and the community at large from COVID-19.
Adding to workplace protocols,the City invested significant time and effort into connecting staff with
opportunities to obtain a COVID-19 vaccine.The City facilitated vaccination opportunities by
connecting staff with regular and pop-up vaccination sites.To date,77 percent of our 161 total City
employees have self-attested to being fully vaccinated.To continue the City’s efforts to protect the
health and safety of both City staff and members of the public we serve,City Council authorized the
City Manager to develop a COVID-19 vaccination policy requiring City staff to be vaccinated as a
condition of employment and begin the required meet and confer process.
Meet and Confer Obligations

the University of California (2021)PERB Decision No.2783-H,issued July 26,2021,the City may

the University of California (2021)PERB Decision No.2783-H,issued July 26,2021,the City may
determine whether it will require its staff to be vaccinated as a condition of employment without the
need to meet and confer pursuant to the requirements of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act.However,
once a draft policy is prepared,the City Attorney recommends completing the meet and confer
process prior to the City’s implementation of the policy,in line with this recent PERB decision which
held that the University of California was required to negotiate the effects of the vaccination policy.
Policy Development Process
Pursuant to the City Attorney’s direction to conduct meet and confer meetings to discuss the effects
of the proposed policy,all City labor groups were contacted to schedule meet and confer meetings
and were provided with the draft policy and accompanying forms.The Management,Police
Management,and Unrepresented groups declined meetings.The scheduled meet and confer
meetings to discuss the impacts of the policy were attended by the City Manager,Deputy City
Manager,Human Resources Manager,and the City’s legal counsel.Due to the condensed timeline
for policy development,edits were incorporated on an ongoing basis and latest drafts were provided
to the labor groups prior to their scheduled meetings.Impacts discussed at the meetings were
considered and changes to the policy and accompanying forms were made as appropriate.
Since the August 10,2021 meeting,staff has taken the following actions to develop the
recommended policy:
·Worked with City Attorneys to develop an initial draft COVID-19 vaccination policy and forms
based on legal parameters and Council direction;
·Provided a high-level overview of the direction provided by Council and policy development
process at the August 12, 2021 staff All-Hands meeting;
·Held a one-hour meet and confer meeting with the Professional and Administrative employees
group on August 24,2021 to discuss impacts to its members.The meeting was also attended
by Justin Adrian,Labor Relations Representative with City Employees Associates.Items
regarding implementation such as how booster shots would be handled and details of the
religious exemption form were discussed.The management team was able to provide
clarification on booster shots and make edits to the form as suggested;
·Held a one-hour meet and confer meeting with the General and Supervisory employees group
on August 30,2021 to discuss impacts to its members.The meeting was also attended by
Carlos Rubio,Senior Business Representative with California Teamsters.Prior to the
meeting,the union was provided with a revised draft policy incorporating changes made to
date.Items regarding the conditions of employment,proposed discipline process,religious

date.Items regarding the conditions of employment,proposed discipline process,religious
exemption process,assisting employees in obtaining vaccines,and medical considerations
were discussed.The management team was able to provide clarification on details of
implementation,ensure assistance would be provided to employees to obtain the vaccine,
and clarify that medical questions should be referred to one’s medical provider;
·Held a one-hour meet and confer meeting with the Police Officers’Association on September
2,2021 to discuss impacts to its members.The meeting was also attended by Corey Glave,
labor attorney for the association.Prior to the meeting the association was provided with a
revised draft policy incorporating changes made to date.Items regarding the policy purpose,
directives from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health,vaccine side effects,
and extending the vaccination requirement to others including:City Council;members of the
public;and contract staff were the primary point of discussion at the direction of the
association.Discussion of confidentiality of personal and medical information and details of
the policy’s accompanying forms were briefly covered prior to ending the meeting as
scheduled due to other engagements.The management team was able to provide
clarification on the forms and confidentiality.
Given that that the group was unfortunately unable to discuss the substance of the draft
policy,management team attempted to schedule a second meet and confer meeting.After
several failed attempts,the City Manager offered to meet any day of the week including
weekends and requested the association submit any remaining questions,comments,and
recommendations on the remaining forms and the policy itself in writing,so that the
management team would be fully aware of the impacts that the members wished to share.
·Department directors and key staff members made contact with contractors,volunteers,and
commissioners informing them of the recommendation to extend the policy to its group.
·The City Manager has urged department directors to maintain ongoing conversations with
staff,commissioners,contractors,and volunteers to address questions and concerns as they
arise and to communicate back to those working on policy development.
Policy Elements
As directed by Council,the City Manager drafted a COVID-19 vaccination policy to require staff to be
vaccinated,complete weekly testing,or otherwise be compliant with the City’s vaccination policy as a
condition of employment.Further,the policy directs staff to be fully vaccinated as a condition of
employment within 60-days of FDA approval of any one of the COVID-19 vaccines.On Monday,
August 23,2021,the FDA provided full approval of the Pfizer vaccine for those 16 years of age and
above.Therefore,the 60-day timeframe for staff to be fully vaccinated would end on October 22,

2021.The following table shows the timeline to achieve full vaccination by the October 22,2021
deadline:

In an effort to assist staff in complying with the above timeline,an onsite COVID-19 vaccination clinic
offering the Pfizer vaccine is secured for Thursday,September 16,2021 from 4:00 P.M.to 6:30 P.M.
An onsite clinic for the second dose would be held on Thursday,October 7,2021 from 4:00 P.M.to
6:30 P.M.
At the Council’s August 10 meeting,it was unclear when exactly the FDA would approve any one of
the COVID-19 vaccines,which have been available under emergency use authorization since
December 2020 (Pfizer and Moderna)and February 2020 (Johnson &Johnson).On August 23,less
than two weeks after Council directs the drafting of a COVID-19 vaccination policy,the FDA approved
the vaccine that has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine,for the prevention of
COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older.If the Council feels that the timeline is too
compressed,an alternative to the 60-days post FDA approval,could be starting the 60-timeline after
City Council adoption of the COVID-19 vaccination policy.Should this alterative be selected,weekly
testing would extend for unvaccinated and partially vaccinated staff until November 12,2021,thereby
adding three weeks of testing.The following table shows the timeline to achieve full vaccination by
the possible alternative deadline of November 12, 2021:

Staff Report
REPORT 21-0541
All staff would be required to complete the COVID-19 Vaccination Verification Form indicating their
vaccination status.In addition to submitting the verification form,staff would be required to provide
proof of vaccination by providing a copy of their vaccination card,a copy of the QR code from the
State vaccination database,or a proof from their medical provider.Staff not yet vaccinated,or those
requesting an exemption,would need to submit the verification form along with their exemption and
testing forms.
As required by law,the City’s COVID-19 vaccine policy would allow requests for medical and
religious exemptions.Those requesting allowable exemptions would be required to complete the
verification form and an exemption form based on their particular request.Medical/disability
exemptions would require certification from a medical provider and would require recertification every
60 days.Religious exemptions would require a statement from the requestor’s affiliated religious
institution and would need to be recertified every six months.All requests for exemptions would be
evaluated for approval on a case-by-case basis.
Exemption forms would be submitted to the Human Resources department and an interactive
process would be conducted with the requestor.While under review,the staff member would be
required to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing.Should recertification not be completed in a timely
manner or conditions change,the staff member would be required to complete the vaccination
process within a timeline provided by Human Resources as part of the exemption notification
process.
The City currently offers weekly onsite testing for the jail staff in compliance with State executive
orders.The weekly testing would be enhanced to accommodate staff who would need to undergo
weekly COVID-19 testing while completing the vaccination process.A professional services
agreement with Veritas Testing for COVID-19 Diagnostics Testing Services is included for approval
(Attachment 3).
If adopted by Council,COVID-19 vaccination would become a mandatory condition and,in essence,
a minimum qualification for employment with the City.Should a staff member not meet the
requirements (vaccine verification,weekly testing,completion of vaccination within applicable
timeframe,and recertifying exemptions)of this policy,they would be subject to non-disciplinary
release from employment.
As directed by Council,the initial draft policy was developed to address the vaccination status of City
staff.During the policy development process,contractors,commissioners,and volunteers were also
discussed.Due to the nature of interaction with staff and use of City facilities,staff recommends the
policy be extended to those groups as well.If included,it would be the responsibility of the contract
service provider to secure proof of vaccination,provide weekly testing,and ensure vaccination of
their staff by October 22, 2021.

Ambulance;Athens Services;Merchants;Gold Touch Janitorial;Netrix/Prosum,MeCoy
Communications;Best Best &Krieger;audio visual technicians;and independent contractors who
provide instruction through the Community Resources Department to the community.
McCormick Ambulance is considered part of the pre-hospital care system of Los Angeles County,
which required staff to provide proof of vaccination by August 27,2021 and to be fully vaccinated by
September 30,2021.Los Angeles County Fire Department is a department with Los Angeles County
and currently working towards compliance by September 30,2021.Currently,LACoFD is
approximately 73 percent vaccinated.
At this time,staff recommends approval of the COVID-19 Vaccination Policy and approval of a
professional service agreement with Veritas Testing for COVID-19 Diagnostics Testing Services.If
approved, staff would move forward immediately to implement the adopted policy.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s
General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Governance Element
Goal 1. A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.
Policies:
·1.1 Open Meetings.Maintain the community’s trust by holding meetings in which decisions
are being made,that are open and available for all community members to attend,participate,
or view remotely.
Goal 7. Community sustainability and health are a priority in policy and decision making.
Policies:
·7.3 Health in all policies.Integrate health,livability,and sustainability principles when
adopting new policies and periodically review and evaluate adopted policies for their impact or
opportunity to improve health, livability, and sustainability.
Fiscal Impact:
The City would bear responsibility for the costs of weekly testing,including any overtime costs,until
the vaccination deadline of October 22,2021.The City would seek Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)reimbursement for weekly testing costs as it is approved as eligible expense through
December 31, 2021.
The cost of onsite testing is $75.00 per test per week.Each testing timeframe requires a minimum of

REPORT 21-0541
The cost of onsite testing is $75.00 per test per week.Each testing timeframe requires a minimum of
five staff members be tested or an additional fee of $150.00 would be added to the invoice.Currently,
there are 36 staff members who need to be vaccinated and would be subject to weekly testing.
Therefore,weekly onsite testing would cost approximately $2,700.00.The goal is to provide onsite
testing,but should there be a logistical challenge,testing offsite can,and would,be arranged at
additional costs.
The total estimated cost of testing for the five weeks from policy adoption to 60-days from FDA
approval is $13,500.00.Should the deadline date be extended to 60-days from policy adoption,the
total estimated cost with the additional three weeks of testing would be $21,600.

City of Hermosa Beach
COVID-19 Vaccination Policy
PURPOSE STATEMENT
The City of Hermosa Beach (City) must provide a safe environment and protect the health and safety of
City staff and the public we serve. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the
California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and the Los Angeles County Health Officer, COVID-19
continues to pose a risk, especially to individuals who are not fully vaccinated. Vaccinations are an
effective safety measure to decrease community transmission and COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths.
Unvaccinated staff members are at greater risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19 within the
workplace and City facilities, and to the public that depends on City services. To best protect its City staff
members, contractors, and volunteers and others in City facilities, and fulfill its obligations to the public,
all staff members, contractors, and volunteers must, as a condition of employment:
1. Report their vaccination status to the City by completing the COVID-19 Vaccination Verification Form
and follow the City’s form procedure;
2. Must undergo weekly COVID-19 testing: a) if not fully vaccinated; or b) if a staff member has not
submitted a COVID-19 Vaccination Verification Form with proof of vaccination; and
3. Be fully vaccinated and submit vaccination status to the City using the COVID-19 Vaccination
Verification Form no later than 60 calendar days after Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) final
approval of at least one of the COVID-19 vaccines. On August 23, 2021, the FDA granted full approval of
the Pfizer vaccine. As a result, staff members must be fully-vaccinated as a condition of employment by
Friday, October 22, 2021.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
State and local governments may mandate vaccinations under well-settled and longstanding legal
precedent. Over 100 years ago, in Jacobson v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, (1905) 197 U.S. 11, the
United States Supreme Court upheld the authority of states to enforce mandatory vaccination laws. In
recognizing that individual liberty is not absolute and subject to police powers, the Court stated that “in
every well-ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members the rights of the
individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such
restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand.”
Multiple California courts have upheld the Supreme Court’s rulings upholding vaccine mandates, finding
the need for public safety outweighs an individual’s rights to privacy or bodily autonomy. For example, in
Brown v. Smith, (2018) 24 Cal.App.5th 1135, and Love v. State Dept. of Education, (2018) 29 Cal.App.5th
980, the courts upheld Senate Bill No. 277, which repealed the personal belief exemption to California’s
school immunization requirements. The courts limited the exemptions (upon full FDA approval) to a
sincerely held religious belief or medical accommodation.
On June 17, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order No. N-09-21 which adopts the revised
California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) COVID-19 Prevention Emergency
Temporary Standards. These standards require the City to establish and maintain various protocols
designed to control exposure to COVID-19. Among other things, Cal/OSHA’s standards require the City to
enforce masking, quarantine, and testing requirements for employees who are not fully vaccinated
against COVID-19.
On July 26, 2021, in response to evidence that the majority of COVID-19 infections were among
unvaccinated people and given the growing transmission of the Delta variant, the California Department
of Public Health issued a State Public Health Officer Order mandating workers in health care and high-risk
congregate settings (including correctional facilities and detention centers) to either show proof of full
vaccination or be tested up to twice weekly. Facilities must be in full compliance with this Order by August
23, 2021.

then staff will be required to comply as a condition of employment.
Vaccination / Exemption Verification Requirement
In order to allow the City to follow County and State health orders, and to ensure the City fulfills its primary
function of protecting the health and safety of staff members and the community, all City staff members,
contractors, and volunteers, must show proof of fully vaccinated status for COVID-19 by completing the
COVID-19 Vaccination Verification Form or request an allowable exemption as a condition of

https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/
Staff members who previously reported that they are partially vaccinated or unvaccinated must update
their status with Human Resources once they are fully vaccinated.
Request for Vaccination Exemptions
The City will review requests for medical, disability, and religious exemptions on a case-by-case basis
consistent with procedures for reasonable accommodation requests.
A) Medical/Disability Exemption: Staff members, contractors, and volunteers with a medical
condition, disability, or other medical restriction that affects their eligibility for a vaccine, as
verified by their medical provider, may request a reasonable accommodation through the Human
Resources Department. To be exempted from this vaccination requirement, staff members must
complete the COVID-19 Vaccination: Request for Medical/Disability Exemption Form.
The exemption form must be submitted to the Human Resources Department no later than
September 17, 2021. Staff members must submit the completed medical certification from their
health care provider no later than September 27, 2021. Medical exemption requests must be re-
certified by the health care provider every sixty (60) days.
The submission of an exemption form should not be considered an automatic approved
exemption. The City will review the request and engage in an interactive process with the staff
member to discuss the reasonable accommodation. Human Resources will notify the staff
member if a medical/disability exemption is approved. If approved, the staff member will be
required to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing.
B) Religious Exemptions: Staff members, contractors, and volunteers with a sincerely held religious
belief, practice, or observance that prohibits them from receiving a vaccine may request a
reasonable accommodation to the Human Resources Department. To be exempted from this
vaccination requirement, staff members must complete the COVID-19 Vaccination: Request for
Religious Exemption Form.
The exemption form must be submitted to the Human Resources Department no later than
September 17, 2021. Staff members must submit the completed religious organization statement
signed by their religious organization no later than September 27, 2021. Religious exemption
requests must be re-certified by the religious organization every six (6) months.
The submission of an exemption form, should not be considered an automatic approved
exemption. The City will review the request and engage in an interactive process with the staff
member to discuss the reasonable accommodation. Human Resources will notify the staff
member if a religious exemption is approved. If approved, the staff member will be required to
undergo weekly COVID-19 testing.
C) Requirement for COVID-19 Testing During Review of Requests for Exemption:
If a request for exemption is still under review by September 18, 2021 or after, staff members
will be required as a condition of employment to be tested weekly for COVID-19.
If an exemption or extension thereof is not approved, Human Resources will notify the staff member
that they will have 45 days to become fully vaccinated from the date of notification.
Weekly COVID-19 Testing for Unvaccinated Staff Members (Employees with Approved or Pending
Exemptions)
As of September 18, 2021, all staff members who are not fully vaccinated (including partially vaccinated,
with a pending or approved medical/disability or religious exemption) are required as a condition of
employment to be tested weekly for COVID-19.
COVID-19 Testing
The City will require staff members, contractors, and volunteers to undergo weekly onsite testing. Onsite
testing will be available for all City staff twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays. Times and exact locations
of the testing will be communicated to staff. Onsite testing will take place during work hours and staff will
be tested during their regular work schedule. Onsite testing will be provided at no cost to City staff.
The tests provided will be a Rapid Antigen tests. If a staff members tests positive during the weekly testing,
then the staff member will be sent home to quarantine and required to undergo further testing, for
example PCR Test, to confirm their test results. The staff member will be eligible to use any available
Supplemental Paid COVID-19 Sick Pay.

Contractor of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a
release of City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to Contractor for anything
done, furnished or relating to Contractor’s work or services. Acceptance of payment shall
be any negotiation of City’s check or the failure to make a written extra compensation
claim within ten calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment
by City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of
Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents for the accuracy and competency

be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or
error in the work prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents.
21. Corrections. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, Contractor shall
correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City’s review
of Contractor’s report or plans. Should Contractor fail to make such correction in a
reasonably timely manner, such correction may be made by City, and the cost thereof

services performed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and
within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that City does not appropriate

fiscal year in which City appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at
the conclusion of such fiscal year.

Regular Meeting of September 14, 2021
APPROVAL OF LETTER SUPPORTING ASSEMBLY BILL 361 (RIVAS, ROBERT): OPEN
MEETINGS DURING DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY
(City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Authorize the Mayor to sign a letter of support (Attachment 1)on behalf of the City regarding
Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361),which would allow cities to continue to have the flexibility of
holding open meetings remotely throughout the declared state of emergency; and
2.Submit the letter to key legislators and local stakeholders.
Executive Summary:
On March 17,2020,Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order (EO)N-29-20 (Attachment 2)
as part of a series of emergency measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.The EO,
allowing cities to conduct remote meetings under modified Brown Act requirements,expires on
September 30,2021.
In order for cities to retain the flexibility they were granted in the EO to conduct meetings in a safe
manner,while simultaneously ensuring public engagement and access,AB 361 (Robert,Rivas)must
pass both houses and the Governor must sign it into law (Attachment 3).AB 361 was recently
amended to take effect immediately upon the Governor’s signature and would allow cities to maintain
transparency and public access while also being able to meet remotely during a declared state of
emergency.
Background:
Since Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 on March 17,2020,allowing cities
to conduct remote meetings under modified Brown Act requirements,the City of Hermosa Beach has
prioritized the health and safety of community members and staff by holding virtual and hybrid public
meetings.

Notice of SUPPORT (As amended on 9/3/2021)
Dear Assembly Member Muratsuchi and Senator Allen:
The City of Hermosa Beach is pleased to support AB 361, which would allow local agencies to
meet remotely under modified Brown Act requirements during state of emergencies to continue to
provide essential local services. Public access and participation remain a core value of local
democracy, and the City of Hermosa Beach has risen to this challenge and are engaging and
listening to the public in a new, digital environment.
The City of Hermosa Beach has incorporated technology to allow for operation of hybrid virtual/in-
person meetings. Since holding virtual and hybrid meetings, attendance and participation at the
City’s public meetings has increased. AB 361 must pass so that the City’s Brown Act bodies can
continue to provide essential services while prioritizing health and safety of our residents and
ensuring government transparency, access, and public engagement.
Due to the increased spread of COVID-19 and the uncertainty that COVID-19 variants present, our
city needs to retain the ability and flexibility to continue to conduct meetings in a safe manner. AB
361 would give our city the much-needed continued flexibility.
For these reasons, the City of Hermosa Beach supports AB 316.
Sincerely,
Justin Massey
Mayor of Hermosa Beach
