Discussion: The City has an emergency plan,including an emergency services organization that is activated in the event of emergency to coordinate functions of the City with all other public agencies, organizations and those people affected by the disaster.Title 2,Chapter 2.56 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code empowers the Mayor to proclaim the existence of a local emergency when the City is affected by a public calamity and the City Council is not in session.The Director of Emergency Service’s declaration is subject to City Council ratification within seven days. An emergency exists when conditions are beyond the control of the services,personnel,equipment, facilities,and existing laws of this City.The declaration is an acknowledgement of the need for the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat. A severe acute respiratory illness caused by a novel (new)coronavirus,known as COVID-19,has spread globally and rapidly,resulting in severe illness and death around the world.The World Health Organization has described COVID-19 as a global pandemic. On March 4,2020,California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency in response to the increased spread of COVID-19.Additionally,on March 4,2020,the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health all declared a local and public health emergency in response to increased spread of COVID-19 across the country and in Los Angeles County.The President of the United States has declared a federal emergency as a result of the spread of the COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, Los Angeles County announced the first death related to COVID-19. On March 12,2020,California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered cancellation of all gatherings of over 250 people anywhere in the State and further called for canceling or postponing smaller gatherings where those attending cannot keep six feet apart from each other and limiting gatherings of older or City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 3/15/2020Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ Staff Report REPORT 20-0167 relatively unhealthy people more vulnerable to COVID-19 to no more than 10 people. The City activated its Emergency Operations Center on March 16,2020 and the City has cancelled or postponed all non-essential City-hosted and permittted programs and events to help prevent further spread of COVID-19 and protect vulnerable populations,such as seniors and people with compromised immune systems, from infection. Due to the increase of reported cases associated with COVID-19,there is an imminent and proximate threat of introduction of COVID-19 in the City,or the undetected presence of COVID-19 infections in the City,that threatens the safety,health,and welfare of City residents,businesses,and visitors and warrants a declaration of local emergency. Before the City Council today is a resolution ratifying the Mayor’s declaration and proclaiming a state of local emergency.If adopted,the City Council will review,and as needed renew,this action at least every 60 days.The declaration will enable City staff to take actions to respond to the conditions created by COVID-19 and will assist residents and the City in obtaining aid and other assistance. Fiscal Impact: There is a potentially positive fiscal impact associated with the recommended action because the existence of the local emergency will help qualify the City for reimbursement of certain expenditures associated with disaster response.

The President of the United States has declared a federal emergency as a result of the spread of the COVID-19. D. On March 11, 2020, Los Angeles County announced the first death related to COVID-19. E. On March 12, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered cancellation of all non-essential gatherings over 250 people anywhere in the State and further called for canceling or postponing even smaller gatherings where those attending cannot keep six feet apart from each other and limiting gatherings of older or relatively unhealthy people more vulnerable to the disease to no more than 10 people. F. The City activated its Emergency Operations Center on March 16, 2020 and the City has cancelled or postponed all non-essential City-hosted and permitted programs and events to help prevent further spread of COVID-19 and protect its vulnerable populations, such as seniors and people with compromised immune systems, from infection. G. Due to the increase of reported cases associated with COVID-19, there is an imminent and proximate threat of introduction of COVID-19 in the City that threatens the safety and health of City residents and warrants a declaration of local emergency.

The steps they are taking today will not only help keep us locals safe, but will also be crucial in mitigating the transmission to other local communities as well.

REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: This is obviously a rubber stamp meeting and this is going to pass... What is the formal process to extend this past March 28? The city should be proactive and schedule a follow up meeting on March 26 to discuss extending this Proclamation in full rather than go back to normal on a Saturday/Sunday and then have this discussion again on Monday March 31st. If not in full, it should extended under modified circumstances and that expectation should be set now. Based on the circumstances of what we are dealing with it makes absolutely no sense to close businesses for 12 days and then just go back to business as usual and potentially suffer a setback. At a minimum, I implore the city to ban all live entertainment and any "events" (music, DJ's etc.) until Friday May 1st. Hermosa Beach as a destination for outside tourists needs to be limited. The city council's first and foremost responsibility is the health and safety of it's residents; the city should operate as such and proceed with more caution than may seem necessary at this time.

REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: While I understand the extraordinary measures being considered to combat Covid 19, I object to the City mandate that landlords are not allowed to collect rent. Landlords have expenses which continue including debt service, taxes, insurance etc. The rent negotiations during the crisis should be a negotiation between Tennant and the landlord without government interference. Certain tenants may have business interruption insurance. The City cannot constitutionally void our lease contracts under the takings clause. The landlords should be free to work out adjusted rent or rent abatement with tenants without the city involvement. The city opens themselves up to litigation as a result of this poorly conceived legislation.

REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: Mayor and Council members, These are extraordinary times, for sure, and extraordinary measures need to be taken. That being said, I would like for you to think about the impacts of your proposal, to allow certain tenants complete rent relief during this crisis. From what I find, Hermosa seems to be the only city mandating this. I thoroughly understand the mandate of having to close restaurants, bars and the like, in the interest of common health. However, what I don’t think you understand is that property owners are businesses too. This mandate would just be alleviating the burden of one business yet passing the burden to another business. Why is one more important than the other? As a property owner, I still need to make my mortgage payment, pay my bills, pay my taxes, city fees, etc. This is also my way of making a living. I am retired and the rental income I receive is what I live on, as it is to the businesses you are relieving. Note that the federal government will be providing income relief to these business’s employees which is a big part of their expenses. There has been no such talk of property owner relief. Of course, I do not think all of the burden should be on the tenant. I would like for you to consider sharing this responsibility between landlord and tenant by strongly suggesting landlords reduce or defer rent during the mandated time in which the establishments are closed. I understand you are trying to help the “mom and pop” businesses so they do not get wiped out; however, there are several landlords that are mom and pops too. I would have come before you tonight, but as you have recommended, I am home watching. Thank you for your consideration and leadership. 3/16/20 SPECIAL MEETING - CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERSSUPPLEMENTAL LETTER SUBMITTED BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ON 3/16/20 AT 1:20 P.M.

Meeting: City Council Special Meeting (City Council Declaration of an Emergency with Attendant Orders) Item: 1. REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: While I absolutely support social distancing, working remote if possible, and staying at home if you are sick, I would ask the Council to reconsider dramatic city policies that will will effect the livelihood of businesses and Hermosa Beach residents. To begin, the number one way to combat not only the coronavirus but also all viruses is have a healthy cardiovascular system. For this reason, I would recommend gym facilities and public running trails be allowed to remain open. For gyms, I recommend reduction in occupancy at any given time and the requirement to have "corona virus combating wipes" which have been around for many years. We also need to consider the mental health of our residents. While we should encourage people staying home as much as possible, we should also encourage residents to enjoy the outdoors and keep a six feet distance between themselves and residents outside their homes. In addition, we need to consider the economic implications of our small beach city if we elect to shut down all "non- essential" businesses. We should, like I recommended with gyms, allow businesses to continue operating in whatever capacity they see fit for themselves. Restaurants should be able to remain open at a limited occupancy with a heavy focus on take out options. We should encourage residents to shop locally as much as possible in order to stimulate our local economy and keep our businesses afloat during this stressful time. Finally, I highly encourage the city to be proactive in their communication and focus on not inducing fear into the public. We are a small but mighty town and working together through this time will allow us to come out on top in the end.

Meeting: City Council Special Meeting (City Council Declaration of an Emergency with Attendant Orders) Item: 1. REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: I appreciate your bold action and support the changes/restrictions proposed specific to restaurants and bars, social distancing and warnings. As the spread of this virus is exponential, swift action is especially important. Those who might think that these measures are too extreme should be reminded that many government actions of a few weeks ago seemed extreme (if not laughable) at the time, but now seem appropriate. In many cases, they should have been implemented even earlier. Your "reward" for decisive action will be criticism for overreacting...so be it. A few additional thoughts: 1) If we do not act in similar fashion to other communities, we will draw in additional customers that (for instance) patronize our restaurants if those in neighboring cities are closed. That presents undue risk to our community. 2) I did not see a mention of gyms and other workout facilities. I would encourage you to understand what is being done in other cities as well as what is recommended by science-based public health officials specific to gyms and workout facilities of all types. I believe they are being closed mandatorily and some individual facilities have already voluntarily closed.

Meeting: City Council Special Meeting (City Council Declaration of an Emergency with Attendant Orders) Item: 1. REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: I am the owner of Pierside Properties LLC, which owns a retail building at 49-53 Pier Avenue. Included in my building are several restaurants, which would be impacted by the proposed rules of Report 20-0167. As a landlord of property in the City of Hermosa Beach, I strongly disagree with the passage of the rules in the Report that affect restaurants, alcohol beverage establishments and snack shops (and their landlords) for the following reasons: • The State of California has already issued rules for these types of establishments which are similar to the rules being proposed by the City regarding prohibition of on-site patronage. The city rules are duplicative and unnecessary. • Regarding the proposed rule prohibiting the charging of rent during the emergency, the City does not have authority to legislate the terms of business contracts between private parties. o You are attempting to transfer business risk from restaurant and bar operators to the property owners. This is not the role of City government. o These business owners may have or could have purchased Business Interruption Insurance. o We have every intention of enforcing our rights under our tenant leases. By giving the tenants the impression that they are not legally obligated to comply with their contractual obligations, you are putting them at risk of eviction when we enforce our rights under the leases and the courts determine that the City does not have the right to interfere with these contracts. o Furthermore, I will not renew leases to any tenant that refuses to pay rent following the City’s directive. o You are putting the City at risk by assuming • Since the City is offering to prohibit Landlords from collecting their rent, will the City be waiving all city fees and property taxes? Will the City force lenders to waive interest on our loans? Will the councilmembers be waiving their salaries and stipends to help these distressed businesses? • If the City is worried about the business health of bars and restaurants, why not offer them a line of credit backed by the City? The City does not have authority to put that burden on private businesses. • Regardless of this City rule, I will work with my tenants in the ordinary course of business to postpone/defer part of the rent if the circumstances warrant it. But this should be a business decision, not a City imposed obligation. As a business owner in Hermosa Beach, I will challenge in court any city rule which states that I cannot form a contract with my tenants and collect rent as a result of them occupying my property. I strongly urge you to remove these provisions from Report 20-0167.

I left you a voicemail regarding the upcoming council meeting. I would like to attend the meeting, but given the circumstances and what is being requested of us by the Federal Government, I don't feel we should be congregating in groups. I wanted to write in regards to one of the topics on tonight’s agenda. Specifically the agenda regarding tenants paying rent to landlords. We own the property where the Post Office is across the street from City Hall. We have proactively reached out to our tenants in an effort to work with them in these uncertain times. We recognize that most businesses are being negatively effected by this virus and the extent of how each is being effected is still unknown. While I can understand the City is desperately trying to help these business, you are doing so at the cost of our business. No matter what the city decides, we still have to pay our lenders, property managers, utility companies, insurance policies etc. We do not have the ability to stop making these payments. If all tenants can halt rent payments, we are in serious jeopardy of default and loss of property. We should be afforded the ability to negotiate with our tenants without government intervention to find a workable solution for all parties. Just like the Resturant’s and bars in the city, we are a local business too. We are also being severely impacted by these shutdowns. All of us are trying to make choices so we can survive in the future. If you pass this item, we loose our ability to make any arrangements to try and stay in business. This will cause severe repercussions to every land owner in the city. When the dust settles from this outbreak, we all want to be in a position to flourish and re-emerge stronger than before. If you vote to limit property owners rights and it leads to foreclosure and blighted properties it will take significantly more time to bounce back. In addition, I have concerns that legally this city will face litigation for their interference with private property rights which could cost the tax payer a lot more money in the long run. We are all in this together. We want what is best for the business, and residents of Hermosa Beach and beyond. Please vote against this policy so we have the tools to rebuild when the dust settles.

Meeting: City Council Special Meeting (City Council Declaration of an Emergency with Attendant Orders) Item: 1. REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: I strongly oppose the city's mandate that landlords may not collect rent from tenants during this crisis. It is not local government's responsibility to interfere with private business. Any rent abatement should be handled by landlords and their tenants. By leasing property to run their businesses, tenants assume the risk brought on by crises like the novel coronavirus, and should be expected to fulfill their rent obligations or have the proper insurance policies in place to insure themselves against business interruptions. From: Cultured Slice <culturedslice@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, March 16, 2020 2:15 PM To: City Council <citycouncil@hermosabeach.gov> Subject: my two cents and a little fear Hello all. My name is Solange Comer and I am the owner of our beloved South Bay's only cheese shop , CULTURED SLiCE here in Hermosa. As a small business owner, and a single mom I have huge concerns for how the COVID-19 virus will impact my shop and future. Me, along with so many other small business owners. While I am fortunate to still be open, I have had to cut back staff, shop hours, and cancel product orders. And I could be told any day I need to close up for a few weeks. If that happens I am left with massive amounts of perishable product that will be a huge loss, bills and still a large rent to pay. Which is honestly my biggest concern. How can the city help with rent? Can you help with rent? Between my home rent and my business rent, I am not sleeping much at night. I know I am not alone in these fears and losses, but I also know I am not alone in wanting to work together and do everything I can to make these next few weeks, possibly months as easy as possible. Thank you for your time. -- Solange Comer Cheesemonger 229 Pacific Coast Hwy Hermosa Beach, Ca 90254 424-390-8153 culturedslice.com 3/16/20 SPECIAL MEETING - CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS SUPPLEMENTAL EMAIL SUBMITTED BY SOLANGE COMER TO CITY COUNCIL ON 3/16/20 AT 2:15 P.M. From: Jessica Kellett <jessica.kellett@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, March 16, 2020 2:11 PM To: City Council <citycouncil@hermosabeach.gov> Subject: Close down non-essential businesses Hi, I was at the Pier in downtown Hermosa yesterday with my two young children. I was surprised by the number of people out-and-about and eating at restaurants. I strongly recommend that you follow the lead of the Mayor Garcetti and close bars and restaurants for a few weeks. Residents are not taking coronavirus as seriously as they should be. Just like climate change, most people don't take action until it affects them personally, which will be too late. The government needs to step in in the interest of it's citizens, especially those most vulnerable.

From: V J <engrman26@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, March 16, 2020 1:48 PM To: City Council <citycouncil@hermosabeach.gov> Subject: Declaration of Emergency Honorable Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council: I understand the necessity to take action, however I urge to carefully think about negative consequences and weigh them before making your decision. The supermarket shelves are empty, and for many residents food from restaurants is the only option. Based on all the information I have, this emergency may last two months or longer. I certainly don't have sufficient food at home for that length of time. I urge you to do everything possible to keep restaurants operating. I support the options of allowing restaurants to provide takeout, delivery of meals, or reduce occupancy. Whatever it takes to keep them operating. Please do not force them to close.

Meeting: City Council Special Meeting (City Council Declaration of an Emergency with Attendant Orders) Item: 1. REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members: Our company operates numerous commercial properties in the South Bay including Hermosa Beach and I am an owner in several including one in Hermosa Beach. I appreciate the City’s desire to locally enforce the recent guidelines from the Governor of California and the CDC. However I believe each business owner now needs to take actions that are appropriate to their individual business. Mandating compliance is not a necessary response. Issuing guidelines as a request is more appropriate. Additionally, the City attempting to prohibit Landlords from charging rent to their commercial tenants is the most concerning. Besides the fact that it is probably unenforceable, it creates inequity and unnecessary stress in this already troublesome time. We have already instituted increased cleaning at our properties and are having discussions with our tenants about temporary rent reductions which we are addressing on a case by case basis. Please do not pass this proposed Declaration with the prohibition from charging rent – let us work out the economics with each of our tenants. Thank you.

I feel I need to offer a different persecutive than one you might be getting. Now is a very tough time businesses around the country. As a commercial building owner in Hermosa Beach it is important to me that the downtown Hermosa business survive and thrive. Not just important, but essential. However, by mandating landlords not collect rent during this time, you would be unfairly shifting the entire burden to Commercial property owners to a level that is very unfair. Please let me explain: 1.Landlords still have pay insurance, pay the bank, maintain the property etc. The tenant may be able to scale down their business, but the landlord can not. This is very unfair. 2.Some landlords relay on the income from their commercial property to survive. If you were to mandate the landlord stop collecting rent, you would be cutting off their survival. You might have situation where the business (tenant) survives, but the landlord is devastated. 3.A restaurant under the proposed mandate could stay open (albeit in a reduced capacity) because business are allows to scale their overhead. In this case the entire burden is shifted to the property owners, who would be carrying the property without any income. 4.For voluntary closures, once again, the mandate would allows tenants to scale their expense voluntarily, leaving landlords carrying the entire burden. I have a tenant and I don’t want to loose them. A vacant building or desolate downtown Hermosa serves no-one. Landlords suffer as does the tenant. Its a symbiotic relationship. So please leave it to landlords and tenants to workout something out that is symbiotic. I know of at least two fellow commercial building owners in Hermosa that say this mandate, should Hermosa make it, will crush them. They can not make it without the income they get from rent. Now is a very tough time for everyone. We all have to look out for each other. Please allow that to happen is a way that the landlord and tenant have a chance to take care of each other and work out a way they can both survive. And at the very least, do not apply this mandate to voluntary closures.

I'm very concerned that by keeping the restaurants and bars open, people will continue to gather in large crowds, which won't help to curb the spread of Covid-19 at this extremely critical time. I love eating out in Hermosa Beach, and I'm sensitive to the fact that closures will create a potential hardship for the owners and employees of establishments my family and I frequent often, but I think the health of our residents needs to be the priority right now.

Meeting: City Council Special Meeting (City Council Declaration of an Emergency with Attendant Orders) Item: 1. REPORT 20-0167 CITY COUNCIL DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY WITH ATTENDANT ORDERS eComment: While I understand the need for decisive action to try and help control the COVID-19 virus, I think that the City is overreaching with item 1b. It is not the City’s place to determine whether the landlord or the tenant should bear the financial burden of the required closures. Additionally, it is not clear what type of assistance the federal government may be providing to businesses and individuals. At a minimum the City should wait until the federal assistance package has been finalize before taking any action. The City should loosen regulations wherever it can to help support these businesses during the closures. 1. The City should work with the Chamber of Commerce to come up with a list of restaurants that will be offering takeout during the restaurant closures. This list should be publicized on social media so residents know where they can go to support their local businesses. 2. It is my understanding that some restaurants have a restriction on offering take-out food in their CUPs. I suggest that the City relax these restrictions during the . 3. The City should loosen signage rules to allow restaurants to publicize that they are offering take-out food. 4. The City could allow personal trainers to conduct classes on the beach or at parks where there is enough space to maintain social distancing.
