VIII. CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Lowenthal began her report by announcing that recent tsunami advisory
served as a reminder to our community to sign up with Alert South Bay to receive
important emergency information and alerts. The system provides notifications in the form
of text messages and emails from local agencies regarding major emergencies such as
tsunami advisories. It also provides information on police and fire incidents, natural
disasters, traffic hazards, and more. You can sign up for Alert South Bay at
hermosabeach.gov/alertsouthbay. Emergency Management Coordinator Villanueva
provided an update on various emergency response systems and services.
Ms. Lowenthal mentioned that the annual Los Angeles County Household Hazardous
Waste collection event held on Saturday, January 15th collected over 2,000 gallons of
paint, over 10 tons of electronic waste, and over one ton of used batteries from over 1,100
households. She advised to use the Los Angeles S.A.F.E. Center, located at the Hyperion
Sewage Treatment Plant, and open every Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for
safe disposal of these items during the rest of the year. More information can be found at
www.CleanLA.com.
Ms. Lowenthal stated that Athens Services will soon deliver 35-gallon green carts for
organics recycling to all customers who are not currently enrolled in this service. There
was a brief delay in delivery of the carts because of supply chain issues. Athens expects
to deliver the carts to residential and multi-family customers between February 14th to
February 25th.
City Manager Lowenthal announced that the City and Athens Services will host another
FREE Paper Shredding and Compost Giveaway event on March 5th from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The event will be held at the Community Center at 710 Pier Avenue and is open to
Hermosa Beach residents only. This is a chance to have important documents shredded
on site, as well as an opportunity to pick up compost for your homes. More information
can be found on the community events calendar on the City’s website.
Ms. Lowenthal mentioned that the conduit along the north side of the pier was damaged
in March of 2021 which disabled the lights on both sides of the pier. The Public Works
team installed a temporary fix to restore power to the foghorn and lighting along the north
side of the pier. Staff explored options for a temporary fix for the southern lighting but did
not purse due to the high cost and in anticipation of the upcoming electrical repairs slated
for CIP 660–Municipal Pier Electrical Repairs. Staff will then obtain necessary permits
24
from the Coastal Commission for both the electrical and structural repairs concurrently
and we anticipate advertising the project for construction in the Spring.
City Manager Lowenthal announced that the City has selected six civic-minded residents
and business owners to serve on Hermosa Beach’s Cannabis Advisory Group. The City
is establishing the group in response to the Hermosa Beach City Council’s request for
input on whether Hermosa Beach should modify its ordinance that bans cannabis sales
in the City limits. Per Council’s direction, these six community members will serve with
representatives of the Hermosa Beach City School District, Hermosa Beach Chamber of
Commerce and Visitors Bureau, and Beach Cities Health District. Staff is finalizing the
meeting schedule but expects to hold five to six meetings over the course of the next
month or so. The meetings will be held virtually and include an opportunity for public
participation. For additional information, please see the Cannabis Advisory Group’s
workplan on the City’s website.
City Manager Lowenthal concluded her report by announcing the retirement of
Community Development Director Ken Robertson retirement, effective April 4, 2022. Ken
has been with the City for almost 33 years and has been integral to every major planning
and development decision the City has made, including the creation of Pier Plaza and the
substantial improvements to Upper Pier Avenue. He led the team and facilitated the
process for preparation and adoption of the award-winning General Plan Update adopted
in 2017 -- PLAN Hermosa and led several other significant projects in the City. Lastly, she
mentioned that the City will hold a more formal recognition at the March 22nd City Council
meeting.
Chief LeBaron provided his update.

REPORT 22-0071
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.The
paramedic squad (Squad 100)only responds to calls for service exclusively within the City of
Hermosa Beach.It does not provide mutual aid,thereby remaining available for calls within Hermosa
Beach.
Each of the LACoFD apparatus has 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.
McCormick Ambulance is one of the emergency medical transport companies within Los Angeles
County.LACoFD does not conduct patient transport,therefore,unincorporated areas are included in
the fire department transport contracts with various providers.Contract cities are responsible for
negotiating and contracting with a medical transport provider for their community.Within the South
Bay,many of the cities have contracted with McCormick Ambulance to conduct emergency medical
transportation including the City of Hermosa Beach.
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 are 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 December 2021 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that two calls had a transfer
time longer than the NFPA standard.

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 December 2021,McCormick Ambulance responded to 81 calls for services within the City of
Hermosa Beach.The December 2021 report indicated that 15 calls resulted in delayed Code 3
responses,which is a slight decrease in delayed calls from the November 2021 transport report.A
Code 3 response is one where 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.A Code 2 response is one where the responding emergency units are

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0071
driving with lights and sirens to an emergency situation classified as a basic life support or BLS call.
Staff reviewed the December 2021 McCormick Ambulance monthly report and discussed it with
McCormick Ambulance management. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
• Multiple Calls: (8) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time;
•Distance:(4)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;
• Crew Error: (1) The crew responded to the wrong address; and
•APOT:(2)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.
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 in arriving on scene within the
allowable timeframe for 15 calls in December 2021,patients were provided timely life-saving
emergency medical care on scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics.When
LACoFD arrives on scene,it takes paramedics 5 to 10 minutes to conduct the required treatment
protocols prior to commencing transport with McCormick Ambulance.During the patient treatment
phase,the requested ambulance is typically on scene waiting for the paramedics to complete their
treatment protocols even if the ambulance response is delayed.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.
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:
Safety Element
Goal 5. High quality police and fire protection services provided to residents and visitors.
Policy:
5.2 High level of response.Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and

REPORT 22-0073
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of February 8, 2022
FINDINGS TO HOLD REMOTE TELECONFERENCE/MEETINGS,
PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 361
(Interim City Clerk Susan Morrow)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council authorize remote teleconference/virtual meetings of all City of
Hermosa Beach legislative bodies in accordance with Assembly Bill 361 (“AB 361”),by finding that:
(1)a statewide state of emergency is currently in place;(2)state and local officials have imposed or
recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19;and meeting in
person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
Background:
All meetings of the City’s legislative bodies are subject to the Ralph M.Brown Act (Gov.Code §§
54950 et seq.)and must be open and public so that any member of the public may attend and
participate in the meetings.Commencing in March of 2020,Governor Newsom issued a series of
executive orders aimed at preventing the spread of a respiratory disease that came to be known as
the novel coronavirus,“COVID-19.”Among these were Executive Orders (“EO”)N-25-20,N-29-20,
and N-35-20 (collectively,the “Brown Act Orders”)that waived the teleconferencing requirements of
the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to meet virtually.
On June 11,2021,the Governor issued EO N-08-21 to begin winding down some of the prior
measures that were adopted to respond to COVID-19.Notably,EO N-08-21 rescinded the Brown
Act Orders,effective September 30,2021.On September 16,2021,Governor Newsom signed AB
361,which became effective October 1,2021,and amended the Brown Act to allow legislative
bodies to meet virtually,without following the Brown Act’s standard teleconferencing rules,provided
that the legislative body makes specific findings, which include the following:
1.A statewide state of emergency is currently in place;
2.State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing
in connection with COVID-19; and/or
3.Meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
Continued compliance with AB 361 would require City Council to approve the action making theCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/24/2023Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™64
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0073
Continued compliance with AB 361 would require City Council to approve the action making the
required findings at least every 30 days.
Discussion:
All three findings under AB 361 can be made given the current circumstances.The Governor has proclaimed a state of
emergency in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.The state of emergency currently remains in effect.
Further,State officials,including the California Department of Public Health,have recommended measures to promote
social distancing in connection with COVID-19,which are currently in place.Similarly,local officials,including the
County Public Health Officer,have also recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID
-19.In a recommendation dated September 28,2021,the County Public Health Officer stated that “utilizing
teleconferencing options for public meetings is an effective and recommended social distancing measure to facilitate
participation in public affairs and encourage participants to protect themselves and others from the COVID-19 disease.”
Finally,the City has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of
attendees. Accordingly, all of the above-referenced AB 361 findings currently exist.
If City Council thus desires to allow virtual meetings in order to both ensure the health and safety of
the public,the legislative bodies of the City,and City staff,as well as continuity of government in
allowing regularly-scheduled meetings to continue to occur without interruption,staff recommends
City Council authorize virtual/teleconference meetings by making the findings set forth above.
Alternative:
If City Council does not make the findings pursuant to AB 361,the City would have to conduct its public meetings for
City Council and other public boards and commissions in person and not have the option of conducting its meetings via
teleconferencing.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

APPROVAL OF A REQUEST TO REVISE THE CLASS SPECIFICATION FOR ACCOUNTANT;
AFFIRM THE BARGAINING UNIT AS THE PROFESSIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEE
BARGAINING GROUP; AND RECLASSIFY ONE OF TWO SENIOR ACCOUNT CLERK
POSITIONS TO ACCOUNTANT
(Human Resources Manager Vanessa Godinez)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Approve the revised class specification for the position of Accountant;
2.Affirm that the bargaining unit for this classification remains with the Professional and
Administrative Employee Group; and
3.Approve the reclassification of one of two Senior Account Clerk positions to Accountant.
Executive Summary:
One of the two Senior Account Clerk positions assigned to the Finance Department is responsible for
payroll processing.A reclassification of the position to Accountant is recommended to align
qualifications with the duties and responsibilities of the position and needs of the Finance
Department.
Background:
At its March 28,2017 meeting,City Council approved the current class specification for the position
of Accountant.The class specification was approved so that the City could reclassify an existing
Senior Account Clerk position that primarily handled cash receipt,investment,and bank statement
duties. Payroll responsibilities were not included in the class specifications at that time.
In January 2022,the Senior Account Clerk responsible for processing payroll retired after nearly 35
years of service to the City.Given that the responsibilities and complexity of the Finance Department
have transformed over time,reclassification of this position would provide needed assistance in the
accounting function to provide timely and accurate reporting.
At its February 2,2022 meeting,the Hermosa Beach Civil Service Board approved the revised class

Past Council and Civil Service Board Actions
Meeting Date Description
March 28, 2017 City Council approved Accountant class specification
February 2, 2022 Civil Service Board approved revised classification to include
payroll responsibilities
Discussion:
The proposed revisions to the class specification of the Accountant position adds all of the duties and
responsibilities related to payroll processing.The revisions would allow the Accountant position to
process timesheets;prepare semi-monthly payroll checks;prepare payroll registers and reports;and
prepare tax returns and other reporting documentation related to payroll matters such as pension and
deferred compensation.The Accountant would also be required to maintain payroll and other records
for internal and external audits;examine,analyze and verify documents to ensure adherence to
established internal controls and accepted professional standards;evaluate accounting procedures
and fiscal practices;and collaborate and assist in implementing new or revised payroll accounting
systems,procedures and records.The revisions to the class specification would support the current
needs of the Finance Department.
Approval of the reclassification would allow for recruitment and selection of a candidate with the
necessary qualifications to meet the needs of the department.If approved,the position of Accountant
would perform professional level accounting duties including:preparing,maintaining,analyzing,
verifying,and reconciling financial transactions,statements,records and reports;perform duties in
the areas of payroll,general ledger accounting,budgeting,and treasury functions;complete special
accounting analysis; and maintain accounting systems and controls.
To finalize these recommended changes,staff requests City Council approval of the revised class
specification,affirmation that the bargaining unit for this position will remain the Professional and
Administrative Employee Group,and reclassification of one of the Senior Account Clerk positions to
Accountant. A final draft of the Accountant class specification is included as Attachment 2.

APPROVAL OF A REQUEST TO REVISE THE CLASS
SPECIFICATION FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT

UNIT AS TEAMSTERS UNION, LOCAL 911

Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Approve the revised class specification for the position of Code Enforcement Officer; and
2.Affirm that the bargaining unit for this classification remains the Teamsters Union, Local 911.
Executive Summary:
The current class specification for the position of Code Enforcement Officer does not include Penal

Enforcement Officers.Staff recommends a minor revision to include this training and certification
under Licenses/Certifications.
Background:
Under general direction,the position of Code Enforcement Officer inspects properties to ensure
compliance with zoning and building codes and ordinances;interacts with the public to investigate
and respond to citizen and business complaints and violations;and performs other related duties as
required.As with other non-sworn code enforcement,parking enforcement,and police department

PC832 is a training course and industry standard prerequisite for Code Enforcement Officers.This
training and certification allow code enforcement,parking enforcement,and other non-sworn police
staff to issue citations,which is an essential requirement for this position.Our current Code

that newly hired officers would be required to obtain the same training and certification.
Proposed revisions to the class specification for the Code Enforcement Officer position include an
addition to the Licenses/Certifications to require Penal Code 832 (PC832)Certification within the first
year of employment.This year would allow time for any new hire,who does not already have the
certification, to complete the necessary course work.
In order to finalize these recommended changes,staff requests City Council approval of the revised
class specification and affirmation that the bargaining unit for this position will remain the Teamsters
Union,Local 911.A final draft of the proposed Code Enforcement Officer class specification is
included as Attachment 2.

REINSTATEMENT OF FEES FOR EXISTING ENCROACHMENT AREAS
(Environmental Programs Manager Doug Krauss)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council reinstate the temporarily suspended encroachment fees for
permanent encroachment areas at their prior rates beginning March 1, 2022.
Executive Summary:
Fees for existing permanent encroachment areas were temporarily suspended at the beginning of the
COVID-19 pandemic as a means of supporting business during limited indoor operations.As directed
by Council,staff presents the following report with a recommendation to reinstate fees for pre-
existing encroachments.
Background:
The City has long supported and encouraged outdoor dining on private and public property to
supplement indoor operations.With the onset of the pandemic and related heath orders,businesses
were limited to conducting business outdoors.Recognizing this hardship,City Council suspended
existing encroachment fees and approved a program to allow expanded outdoor dining and other
commercial activity.The City also suspended zoning and parking requirements that allow outdoor
dining on private property and established a temporary encroachment permit program allowing
encroachments into sidewalks,public streets,and Pier Plaza.Both the private property programs and
encroachment program (together,the “Outdoor Permit Program”)include a basic set of guidelines.
These guidelines include:
·Business hours no later than 11:00 P.M.;
·Temporary furnishings to be brought in every night;
·Maintenance of cleanliness;
·Alcohol service only with food; and
·Insurance maintained by permitees.
The City has issued over 60 permits during the term of the Outdoor Permit Program in a variety of
public right-of-way areas,including Pier Plaza,sidewalks and on-street parking areas (Attachment

public right-of-way areas,including Pier Plaza,sidewalks and on-street parking areas (Attachment
1).
To date,City Council has allowed these uses without consideration of any encroachment area rents
or reimbursement of lost parking meter revenue.Also,as part of its business assistance efforts,the
City waived fees for the outdoor music program,temporary signs and banners,extended business
license tax renewals,deferred business license taxes for businesses who were closed,and waived
business license tax penalties and interest.The extended business license taxes and waived
penalties and interest totaled $57,322 in revenue the City did not collect.The waived sign and banner
fees are estimated at about $10,000 thus far.In October 2021,Council directed staff to develop
permanent versions of the outdoor dining programs and in December of 2021,Council approved
extension of the programs through May 31, 2022.
At its January 25,2022 meeting,City Council directed staff to implement a $1.50 per square foot fee
for the new outdoor dining encroachment areas and to return to Council with an item to reinstate the
encroachments fees for existing permanent encroachment areas.

Pier Plaza, closed before midnight $2
Outside of Pier Plaza or snack shop $1
As directed by Council at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic,encroachment fees were
temporarily suspended for all existing encroachment permittees and no new encroachment fees were
applied to new outdoor dining areas in the public right of way.Many of the businesses with existing
encroachments,especially those on Pier Plaza,expanded their prior encroachment areas with no
additional fee.
At its January 25, 2022 meeting, Council directed staff to:
·Implement a new fee of $1.50 per square foot for new outdoor dining encroachment areas
allowed during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
·Return to City Council with an item for reinstatement of fees for existing permanent
encroachment areas.
The encroachment fees generate approximately $283,000 annually and consequently,due to their
suspension since the beginning of the pandemic in Spring of 2020,approximately $500,000 in
encroachment fees have not been collected.Staff recommends reinstatement of these fees at their
prior rates beginning March 1, 2022.
Fees for the expanded encroachments allowed during the COVID-19 pandemic including sidewalk,
Pier Plaza,and on-street areas would be at a rate of $1.50 per square foot as approved by Council at
its January 25, 2022 meeting.
General Plan Consistency:
The proposed program options match the model of “living streets”,also known as “complete
streets”,and a key guiding principle of the General Plan Vision is to foster a vibrant local economy.
A living street combines safety and livability while supporting ground floor and outdoor economic
activities.This centers on designing streets that can be safely shared by both vehicular and non-
vehicular traffic.A living street should also contribute to an engaging public realm and a vibrant
local economy.

handling these requests. This
process will likely include the

City receives the issuance of a
Notice of Allowance from the
USPTO can it begin approving
applications for commercial
uses of the logo.
