RE: April 12, 2022 City Council meeting Closed Session, Item “c,” Anticipated Litigation
Dear Mayor Detoy and Honorable City Council:
Based on past closed session agenda items, and an attached letter from Cory Glave for item “c,” I can
conclude this anticipated litigation is regarding religious exemptions for your mandatory COVID-19
vaccination policy for employment with the City of Hermosa Beach.
Here is a Facebook post from the Hermosa Beach Police Officers Association:
Two of our finest officers are in the process of being separated/terminated from the City of Hermosa Beach
Police Department this week with more to follow because the city refused to accept or respect their Religious
Exemptions request pertaining to the Covid-19 vaccination.
Detective Wayne Lewis, with 21+ years of dedicated service with this police department and Officer Jonathan
Cruz, a 14 year Police Officer with the HBPD and a United States Marine veteran, have been placed on
administrative leave.
The loss of these officers significantly impacts both patrol and the investigations bureau and will likely
negatively affect those officers who must fill the gap to continue providing the city with the service they
deserve and expect.
It should be noted that four additional Hermosa Beach police officers are pending similar separations for the
same reason.
These officers worked during the entirety of this pandemic without question to maintain a safe Hermosa Beach
during these unprecedented times. City leaders were grateful for their service of them until now.
In addition to the loss of these officers, at least three additional officers have set retirement dates for May 1,
2022. This is a significant loss of experienced law enforcement officers in our 39 member department.
These issues were raised multiple times with city leaders and our concerns of public safety fell on deaf ears.
We believe that the public should be aware of these issues given the current knowledge of the efficacy of the
vaccine and lifting of COVID mandates across the country.
Additionally, these actions make us the only department in the Southbay with such mandates, blanket denials
for religious exemptions, and willingness to toss quality officers to the side.
I believe it is in the best interest of all parties involved to honor the Religious Exemptions request of these
two members of the HBPD. Their loss of religious liberties outweighs any potential harm to the City.
Furthermore, the City will most likely lose this litigation, and will come with a substantial financial cost.
Very Respectfully,
Matt McCool

RE: Requesting Legal Justification for Denying Public Records Request of FBI Report
Dear Mayor Detoy and City Council:
On February 27, 2020, the Los Angeles office of the FBI received an initial complaint that I posted a
threat to blow up City Hall with a U-Haul full of explosives.
The Hermosa Beach Police Department filed that false report in retaliation. For the September 10,
2019 City Council meeting, I submitted into public record a letter reporting a criminal conspiracy by
the HBPD to conceal a violent crime:
http://hermosabeach.legistar.com/gateway.aspx?M=F&ID=05517fbe-6f7a-40b4-8952-
0d2dd8f56419.pdf
The post referenced in the complaint submitted to the FBI is dated, May 3, 2019:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/AdvocatesforHermosaBeach/permalink/2070078673121281/
The Hermosa Beach Police Department had knowledge of this post for nearly ten months. A post,
where I report I was a victim of a crime by a Stephanie Palmer. The perpetrator filed a false police
report against me, and then she bragged about it on Facebook.
On January 24, 2022, I submitted a public records request for the FBI report submitted by the
Hermosa Beach Police Department. On March 17, 2022, I was notified by PSO Smith, the records
were exempt from disclosure.
Therefore, I am respectfully requesting legal justification from the city attorney’s office for the City
denying my public records request of the FBI report falsely stating, I posted a threat to blow up City
Hall with a U-Haul full of explosives.

Matt McCool

Subject: Re: A place for seniors at Valley Park
Dear Ms. Nichols
As Director of the HB Parks and Recreation I appreciate that you
speak with some authority. You say and I quote:
We strive to maintain a balance of permitted
recreational services, reservations and the community’s
enjoyment of City parks.
Here is the thing Ms. Nichols and the answer to one simple question will prove IF the city has really tried
to strike a balance.
Where in Valley Park do you suggest groups 8‐15 seniors congregate on weekend mornings if they
want to sit & enjoy quiet conversation without piercing whistles and shouting instructors disrupting
things within close earshot?
Thank you,
Anthony Higgins
BACKGROUND:
The crescent array of benches used to provide a unique opportunity for groups of ~ 8‐15 seniors to mix
with other seniors, younger dog owners, quietly read a book or newspaper on weekend mornings.
It even afforded seniors to interact children curious about the gentle furry creatures that have become
family to so many seniors.
25
2
Then pay‐to‐play and loud instructors shouting encouragement, blowing whistles, chanting and using
every trick in the book to capture and keep the attention of 20 or so toddlers and 25‐30 cheering family
members was granted the field that is within 30 feet of the crescent bench array in the North West
corner of Valley Park; and this weekend morning gathering of seniors and other community members
withered on the vine and died.
Councilman Jackson clearly implied in his March 3rd email (attached) that if seniors didn’t like trying to
read a book or quietly socialize at Valley Park because they found all the shouting, chanting and whistle
blowing within close earshot they should find some place other than Valley Park to congregate.

Hello, Mr. Higgins,
The City provided detailed responses and appropriate next steps to this specific
request on the following dates:
Saturday, February 5, 2022
Monday, February 7, 2022
Tuesday, February 22, 2022
In our responses, we provided the following information:
We strive to maintain a balance of permitted recreational services, reservations
and the community’s enjoyment of City parks.
The request to no longer permit specific areas of the park would require
additional discussion, community input, and policy changes.
We permit the use of the northwest field area through the Contract Class
Program for Sportball to avoid conflict to any main field activities that may be
permitted through the Field Allocation process and since it’s outside of the
Outdoor Fitness Permit’s two designated areas within Valley Park. In addition, we
also consider impacts to the locations available for reservation through the Park
Reservation program.
We did provide an overview of 2021 park permits and programming protocols to
our Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission at its
regular February meeting. The staff report and attachments are available HERE.
This report can share more information on each permit option available at Valley
Park, as well. Each permit option includes policy terms to address balancing the
needs of the park and to prevent overprogramming.
The permit options, permits issued and programming protocols for City parks will
be further examined and evaluated through the adoption of a new Parks Master
Plan and Recreation Needs Assessment, which will include community
engagement. We have made note of your request to be further considered
through this process.

Until then, the City sees this matter as closed and will not provide further response
to this specific request.
Thank you,

It has been said, Mr. Higgins, that “parks and playgrounds are the
soul of a city.” With that being, said - we are fortunate to live in a
city with over 20 parks and parkettes (to include our jewel, The
Green Belt).
We’re truly blessed to live in a city with such an offering of green
space- where residents and visitors can easily find alternate park
space to socialize and congregate - if Valley Park is too active for
their needs.
Happy Sunday!

REBUTTAL TO JACKSON’s RESPONSE:
Dear Councilman Jackson,
Your statement in the attached email that implies there are plenty of other places for seniors to
congregate in valley park. This fails to recognize the unique character of the the crescent array of
benches I was referring too.
It also fails to recognize that this spot is unique in both valley park and Hermosa beach as a whole.
Let me explain:
The area of Valley Park in the NW quadrant is a unique crescent array of ~8 benches that affords seniors
the opportunity to socialize in groups of more than 1 or 2 and share in what Valley park has to offer.
The crescent array is a friendly design and seniors often need a place to sit if they want to congregate
for any length of time.
27
4
It’s not practical for seniors to congregate around the valley park kiddie park benches. They are usually
occupied by parents or nanny’s.
With all the birthday parties the benches around the bbq areas that is not a good place for seniors to
gather.
The small tables that seat 4 people along valley drive don’t fit the bill because they are so close to the
noisy street and can only accommodate 4 people anyway.
The benches along the Greenbelt are not a place for seniors to congregate. They are spaced every ~150
yards and only accommodate 2 people each.
There are no suitable parquet’s in North Hermosa
There is no reason that the NW quadrant of Valley Park cannot be free of pay to play and a quiet zone
established.
There is no reason the city could not relocate the noisy sportsball‐pay‐to‐play activity away from these
benches and onto the main field OR the field near the Kiwanis building.
Frankly I found the implication in your email (attached) that there are PLENTY of OTHER SUITABLE
PLACES for SENIORS TO GATHER to be slightly flippant, rigid, insensitive as well as uninformed.

VIII. CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Lowenthal announced that this week was Tsunami Awareness Week. A
tsunami is a series of powerful, fast-moving waves which can impact harbor traffic and
infrastructure, and cause coastal flooding and other damage. Tsunamis are typically
generated by large, offshore earthquakes, but landslides and volcanic eruptions can
cause tsunamis as well. She encouraged to be prepared and learn more about it on the
city website and sign up with Alert South Bay to be notified when an emergency occurred.
Ms. Lowenthal explained, in light of recent unplanned or poorly communicated planned
electrical outages, on how to file a complaint on any utility provider with the California
Public Utilities Commission. The CPUC is highly responsive to complaints filed by the
public. They look for trends in identifying areas of concern. During the fourth quarter of
2021, for instance, the CPUC responded to over 1,900 complaints and returned over
$300,000 in overbillings. You can lodge a complaint online at cpuc.ca.gov.
City Manager Lowenthal shared that the amount of organic waste being recycled has
significantly increased, which helps combat climate change. The city offers
complimentary countertop containers for your food scraps , please email
organics@hermosabeach.gov to make arrangements for pickup. She mentioned staff is
creating videos to educate our community about how to separate their waste.
City Manager Lowenthal announced that the city’s e-newsletter was back, but in a shorter
and simpler format. To increase our subscribers, we have also launched a newsletter
pop-up on the main page of our website. You can always subscribe directly at
hermosabeach.gov/enewsletter.
City Manager Lowenthal concluded her report by announcing Hermosa is hiring and
congratulated the most recent employees:
Andrew Nguyen, who was promoted from Assistant Engineer to Associate
Engineer;
Carlos Luis, who was promoted from Associate Planner to Senior Planner;
Rudy Molina, who was promoted from Maintenance Worker I to Maintenance
Worker II;

REPORT 22-0214
Discussion:
The February 2022 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and
McCormick Ambulance (Attachment 1:February 2022 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.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 February 2022 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that one call had a transfer
time longer than the NFPA standard.The call were received during a period of increased call volume
in the dispatch center.
Table 1 below provides the response details for the one incident.

transport ALS patients.
In February 2022,McCormick Ambulance responded to 44 calls for services within the City of
Hermosa Beach.The February 2022 report indicated that 11 calls resulted in delayed Code 3
responses,which is a slight decrease in delayed calls from the January 2022 transport report.There
were zero delayed Code 2 responses in February 2022.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 driving with lights and
sirens to an emergency situation classified as a basic life support or BLS call.
Staff reviewed the February 2022 McCormick Ambulance monthly report.The following outlines the
reasons for the delayed responses:
·Multiple Calls: (7) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time;
·Distance:(2)Based on the location the ambulance begins the response to the City,it could

REPORT 22-0214
·Distance:(2)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; and
·APOT:(2)Ambulance Patient Offload Time happens when there are three 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 11 calls in February 2022,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.

REPORT 22-0181
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of April 12, 2022
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION
OF A REPORT FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS
WITHIN THE HERMOSA BEACH LANDSCAPING AND
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT DURING FY 2022-2023
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1)authorizing the preparation of a
report for the annual levy of assessments within the Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street
Lighting District during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
Executive Summary:
The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District (District)collects funds for the
maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within street
medians and parkways.The District must be renewed annually by following a three-step process.
Staff recommends initiation of the renewal process for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
Background:
The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting Assessment District was created in fiscal year
1989-1990,pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.The District assessment funds the
cost of maintaining and operating street lights,traffic signals,and landscaping located within
parkways and medians citywide.The assessment rate per dwelling unit has not increased since the
passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and is currently set at $41.45.
The anticipated assessment to be collected for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 is $456,346;an additional
$229,790 was approved for transfer from the RTI Undersea Cable Fund to the Landscaping and
Street Lighting District Fund to cover the shortfall for maintaining the citywide Landscaping and Street
Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
The District must be renewed annually by following a three-step process.First,Council authorizes
the Director of Public Works to prepare an engineer’s report containing the estimated cost of
maintaining the District,the list of parcels within the District,and the method of apportionment of the
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 4/8/2022Page 1 of 4

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0181
maintaining the District,the list of parcels within the District,and the method of apportionment of the
assessment.Second,staff presents the engineer’s report to Council for approval and requests to set
a date for a public hearing declaring the City Council’s intention to order certain improvements and to
levy and collect assessments within the District for the new fiscal year.The third and final step is to
hold a Public Hearing to accept public input on the matter of the proposed assessment and,if
approved, to levy the assessment for the new fiscal year.
Analysis:
Based on the advice of the City Attorney,the City is in compliance with Proposition 218 and can
continue to levy assessments to pay for the maintenance and operation of streetlights,street
medians,and parkway landscaping without balloting requirements so long as the assessments are
not increased.The assessment rate per dwelling unit has not increased since the passage of
Proposition 218 in 1996.
By approving the attached resolution,City Council authorizes initiation of the annual renewal process
by authorizing the preparation of an engineer’s report,which would contain maps,methodology,
costs,and estimated assessments for the District.The following action items are required in order to
levy and collect assessments within the City’s Landscaping and Street Lighting District for Fiscal Year
2022-2023:
1.The Director of Public Works files the engineer’s report consisting of,among other things,the
map and the assessments with the City Clerk;
2.The City Council adopts a resolution approving the report as prepared under the direction of
the Director of Public Works;
3.The City Council adopts a resolution setting the date,time,and the place for a Public Hearing
in order to accept input on the report for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District 2022-
2023;
4.The City Council holds a Public Hearing and adopts a resolution confirming the map and
assessment for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and
levies the set assessment per-unit rate for the fiscal year commencing July 1,2022 and
ending June 30, 2023; and
5.The City Council adopts the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 estimated revenue for secured collections
for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of April 12, 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 4/8/2022Page 1 of 2

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0200
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.

eComment: AB361 is contingent on their being an existing imminent threat from Covid OR a
situation where distancing cannot be accommodated. Neither of these conditions exist. Bars,
restaurants schools and grocery stores are open without restriction. There is no imminent threat.
Distancing could easily be accommodated in the council chambers along with vaccine checks
and requiring masking. The city by continuing to support virtual-only commission meetings and
not requiring all council members and the city manager to attend council meetings in person is

REPORT 22-0182
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of April 12, 2022
APPROVAL OF THE PARKS, RECREATION AND
COMMUNITY RESOURCES ADVISORY COMMISSION’S
RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS TO MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 12.20: BEACH AND STRAND REGULATIONS
(Community Resources Manager Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1.Approve the Parks,Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission’s
recommended amendments to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 12.20:Beach and
Strand Regulations; and
2.Introduce and waive first reading of an ordinance titled,“An Ordinance of the City of Hermosa
Beach,California,Amending Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 12.20 (Beach and
Strand Regulations),and Finding the Same Exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act.”
Executive Summary:
In September 2019,staff was notified that temporary volleyball courts were installed within the
residential zone on the beach,south of 10th Street and north of 15th Street,less than 50 feet from the
Strand wall.Due to inconsistences found between City policy and the Hermosa Beach Municipal
Code (HBMC),staff recommended,to the Parks,Recreation and Community Resources Advisory
Commission (Commission),language updates to Chapter 12.20 Beach and Strand Regulations
meant to modernize the City’s regulations and resolve any confusion between City policy and the
HBMC.
Staff’s recommendation included the requirement of a 50-foot distance from the Strand wall for any
recreational activity and prohibition of recreational activities from blocking beach access points or
emergency lanes required by the Los Angeles County Lifeguards.The Commission approved the
recommended language changes at its July 7,2020 meeting,followed by additional review of the
language addressing tents on the beach at its August 4,2020,and final approval at its September 1,
2020 meeting.Scheduling consideration of the recommended amendments for Council review and
approval proved challenging as staff worked on reimagining parks and recreation programming,

approval proved challenging as staff worked on reimagining parks and recreation programming,
classes,and events during the COVID-19 lockdowns restrictions and restoring them as they were
lifted. Staffing shortages compounded the delay.
Background:
In September 2019,staff was notified that temporary volleyball courts were installed within the
residential zone on the beach,south of 10th Street and north of 15th Street,less than 50 feet from the
Strand wall.Upon further investigation,staff found inconsistences between City policy and the
HBMC,resulting in enforcement difficulty.Currently,the HBMC does not outline requirements for
placement of temporary volleyball courts on the beach.However,City policy requires a 50-foot
distance from the Strand wall for the temporary placement of this recreational equipment.
Additionally,the 50 feet from the Strand wall distance is a standard used for the installation of
permanent volleyball courts.This is in place for safety reasons including the provision of enough
distance between game play and the Strand to eliminate loose balls from going onto the Strand.
Additionally,it provides a reasonable distance from beachfront homes so noise emanating from the
volleyball courts would not create a nuisance.
To prioritize the review of the topic and provide a resolution,staff provided recommendations to the
Commission at its February 4,2020 regular meeting including updates to HBMC sections 12.20.060
and 12.20.080 including:
·Language requiring a 50-foot distance from the Strand wall for temporary beach volleyball
courts;
·Language requiring that any recreational activity be played at least 50 feet from the Strand
wall; and
·Language specifying that recreational activities shall not block beach access or hinder
emergency access onto and from the beach by the Los Angeles County Lifeguards.
Additionally,staff requested the Commission review the HBMC sections 12.20.060 and 12.20.080 for
general code updates beyond these topics to ensure both sections are aligned with the City’s beach
culture and relevant to current times.Commission requested staff to return with drafted language
updates.Staff returned to the Commission at its July 7,2020 regular meeting with comprehensive
language updates to Chapter 12 and Commission recommended approval of the recommended
amendments with a 4-1 vote.
At its July 7,2020 regular meeting,Commission also requested staff return with a deeper analysis of
HBMC section 12.20.330 addressing tents due to concerns over safety factors related to the use of
tents on the beach,specifically the 10 feet by 10 feet pop-up style shade structures.Following
outreach with the City’s enforcement teams including the Los Angeles County Lifeguards,the City
Attorney’s office reviewed the City’s current language in HBMC section 12.20.0330 with the Los

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0182
Attorney’s office reviewed the City’s current language in HBMC section 12.20.0330 with the Los
Angeles County ordinance and found both to be consistent,leading staff to recommend maintaining
the current language to the Commission at its August 4,2020 regular meeting,with the addition of a
10-foot distance requirement from the Strand wall to follow past practice by the City.
The Commission maintained its safety concerns over tents at the beach and requested a subsequent
discussion be held at a future meeting with a representative from the City’s code enforcement team
and a representative from Los Angeles County to further discuss its concerns.A representative from
the City’s code enforcement team and a representative from Los Angeles County Fire Department
were present at the Commission’s September 1,2020 meeting to address the Commission’s
concerns.Following the discussion,the Commission recommended approval of the proposed
language changes to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code section 12.20.220 addressing tents to
include a 10-foot distance requirement from the Strand wall.Included as Attachment 1 is a redline
version of Chapter 12 in its entirety that includes the Commission’s recommended changes.

September 1, 2020 Recommended approval of proposed language changes to

Also included in Attachment 1 is an additional modification by staff to address outdated language in
the City’s Beach and Strand Regulations that was not considered by the Commission as the subject
matter did not fall under the purview of the Commission.This proposed modification proposes
removal of the existing regulation regarding the changing of clothing as appears no longer applicable
to current norms.
Discussion:
Amendments noted in Attachment 1 include:
·Language changes to section 12.20.330 to include a 10-foot distance requirement from the
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 4/8/2022Page 3 of 5

REPORT 22-0182
Strand wall for all tents;
·Language changes to section 12.20.060 consistent with the Commission’s input provided at its
January 7,2020 meeting regarding temporary recreational activities and emergency lanes.
These changes removed outdated and overbroad language such as “[n]o sport or throwing of
missile of any kind...”and language only permitting sports or games on the beach in areas
provided for such sports or games,with a more holistic approach to activities,sports and
conduct on the beach and Strand.Specifically,that use of the beach and Strand must be done
in such a way that it does not constitute a nuisance or hazard to anyone,that games or
athletic activity must be more than 50 feet from the Strand Wall,and that,unless otherwise
approved by the City,all equipment and personal property must be removed from the beach
and cannot remain overnight; and
·Removal of sections 12.20.080 and 12.20.100.
o Section 12.20.080 prohibits the writing upon,marking,staining or otherwise defacing,
damaging,moving,removing,or vandalizing of any umbrellas,backrest,blankets,
pillows,robes rugs or other beach equipment while it is upon the beach or on private
property of any person whatsoever.The proposed changes to section 12.20.060 require
the removal of all beach equipment and other existing Penal Code statutes prohibit the
damaging or defacing of the property of another.
o Section 12.20.100 prohibits the changing of clothes in any washroom or toilet on any
part of the beach and prohibits the use of any vehicle or part of the vehicle for changing
clothes before or after bathing in the ocean.If left,this section would prohibit the
changing of clothes in the public bathrooms on the beach and similarly prohibit the act
of “towel changing”by one’s vehicle anywhere in the City.Existing laws on public
nudity/indecent exposure protect against nefarious or reckless behavior and this section
12.20.100 appears to be outdated and no longer applicable to the current norms in the
City.

General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

REPORT 22-0212

At its March 29,2022 meeting,the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group participated in a final

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0212
Commerce representative,Dave Davis,clarified for the record that he was voting as an individual
business owner and not as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce.The Hermosa Beach
Chamber of Commerce has a neutral position on this issue.With all nine members present,the
group unanimously agreed that they are opposed to the initiative filed with the City Clerk by Colton
Chacker on November 17, 2021.
The group also voted unanimously that the lack of a retail storefront in Hermosa does not cause
hardship to Hermosa Beach residents and that the City should pursue a flexible tax whether that be
in the form of a stand-alone tax measure or as a component of a competing initiative.The final
unanimous vote of the group was that the City Council should not adopt a new cannabis ordinance
prior to the November 2022 Election to allow cannabis delivery, retail, or other activity.
While the remaining questions did not garner unanimous votes,majority opinions emerged in support
of retaining the current cannabis ban on both storefronts and delivery.When asked specifically about
delivery activities,a majority of the group supports lifting the ban on cannabis delivery,but does not
support allowing a non-storefront delivery based in Hermosa Beach.When asked specifically about
non-delivery cannabis retail storefronts, the majority does not recommend lifting the ban.
Overall,a majority of the group members feels that Hermosa Beach residents have adequate access
to legal cannabis and that the City Council should create a competing initiative lifting the ban on
cannabis deliveries from businesses operating outside the City.The group supports capturing tax
revenue from such deliveries.
If City Council determines that it is desirous of a competing initiative related to storefronts,the
Cannabis Advisory Group offered the following list of possible regulations for consideration:
·1,500 foot minimum distance from schools (Attachment 3)-if it would not create a ban;
·Restrictions regarding density and proximity to schools, as well as routes to schools;
·Prohibition of retail in the area surrounding the Pier;
·Prohibition of outdoor advertising;
·Restriction on flavored products and combustibles and products marketed towards youth;
·The exploration of a regional agreement with neighboring cities;
·Funding for schools and ongoing education;
·Buffer in-between storefront locations;
·Security with Police Department access to security camera system feed;
·Limit on number of storefronts;
·Requirement for Conditional Use Permit;
·No cultivating or manufacturing activities;

To date, City Council has taken the following actions:
1.Requested the formation of an advisory group.The Cannabis Advisory Group has now
completed its directive to offer input and recommendations to City Council.
2.Held action to determine whether the filed cannabis initiative would gather the required
signatures to qualify for the ballot.The initiative gathered the required signatures and at its March
22,2022 meeting,City Council voted to receive and file the Certificate of Sufficiency for the
proposed Chacker initiative.
3.Rejected adoption of the Chacker initiative.At its March 22,2022 meeting,the City Council
opted not to adopt the resident initiative by ordinance and instead submit the ordinance,without
alteration, to the voters in the November 8, 2022 Municipal Election.
Moving forward, the City Council options include:
1.Take No Further Action
Allow the voters to decide on the initiative filed by Colton Chacker.
2.City Initiated Cannabis Ordinance or Competing Initiative
If the City Council is inclined to allow some type of cannabis business activity in the City,but
differently than as proposed in the initiative,the City Council could direct staff to prepare such an
ordinance for Council adoption any time before the November 8,2022 election.An ordinance
would give the Council the ability to amend the ordinance,as needed.If the Council were to enact
an ordinance before the November 8,2022 election,Council could then take a position against
the initiative filed by Colton Chacker.
Alternatively,the ordinance could be placed on the ballot to compete with the initiative and drafted
in such a way that the ordinance with the most votes would control.As noted above,voter
approved ordinances cannot be repealed or revised in the future by the City Council unless they
expressly allow it.This option is only advisable if the Council desires to allow cannabis operations
in a different manner or scope than allowed by the initiative-for example,reducing the number of

REPORT 22-0212
in a different manner or scope than allowed by the initiative-for example,reducing the number of
allowed retail businesses or limiting cannabis sales to delivery only.
3.Ballot Measure for a Cannabis Business Tax
The proposed ordinance does not provide for a tax on cannabis operations separate and apart
from the City’s standard business tax.Many cities that have allowed commercial cannabis uses
have asked its voters to approve a corresponding local cannabis tax;under Proposition 218,such
a tax must be approved by the voters.Given that the ordinance qualified for the ballot,City
Council may want to consider placing a cannabis business tax on the ballot as well.The deadline
to place the tax measure on the ballot with this initiative would be early August for the November
2022 election.
A special tax can be placed on the ballot by a simple majority vote of the City Council but must be
approved by two-thirds of the voters who vote in the election.General taxes must have two-thirds
support from the City Council to be placed on the ballot but only require approval by a majority of
the voters who vote in the election.
The taxes on cannabis products in other cities vary widely,but typically range from 2.5 percent to
20 percent of gross receipts or are based on square footage.Commonly,the taxes are general
taxes meaning that the revenues can be used for unrestricted general revenue purposes of the
City.The Cannabis Advisory Group recommends a flexible tax option that would allow the City the
ability to adjust the rate as needed.
Additional Considerations
1.Maintaining the City’s Existing Ban on Cannabis Retail
If a majority of the voters reject the Chacker initiative,the existing ban would remain in place.No
action would be required by the Council to retain the City’s existing ban.
2.Limits on the Expenditure of Public Funds
Public funds may not be used to campaign or advocate for or against a ballot measure.They may,
however,be used to provide objective and educational information to the electorate about the
impact of a measure on the community.The law does allow the City Council to take an official
position on a measure and to communicate that position to the community.In addition,nothing
prevents individual Councilmembers from advocating for or against a measure at their own
expense.

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
CANNABIS ADVISORY GROUP WORKPLAN
OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE
At its December 14, 2021 meeting, following a discussion prompted by the filing of an initiative
by an industry-related proponent to allow cannabis retail in Hermosa Beach, the City Council
directed the City Manager to form an Advisory Group, subject to the Brown Act, to explore policy
issues and provide City Council with input on whether the City’s current ban on cannabis business
operations should be modified.
The Cannabis Advisory Group will examine whether the City should change its current ban on
cannabis sales and, if so, whether cannabis retail storefront operations or delivery sales from
locations within the City, or both, should be permitted in Hermosa Beach. The group will also
study and discuss how a change in the ordinance would impact law enforcement and the
community. The work of the Cannabis Advisory Group will culminate in a report and
recommendation to City Council. The information will be advisory only and does not obligate City
Council in any manner.
The group will hold at least four or five public meetings of at least three to four hours in length.
The meetings will be conducted by teleconference and will include testimony from the public.
DECISION-MAKING
The Advisory Group will adhere to the Brown Act, meaning that its meetings will be open and
public. The meetings will be conducted virtually, similar to City Council meetings. Staff and
subject matter experts will make presentations to assist the Advisory Group in its discussions.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Public participation will be structured in a manner to provide residents and interested parties the
opportunity to provide public comment while maintaining adequate time and opportunity for
the Advisory Group members to deliberate, discuss, and develop recommendations. In order to
allow for broad participation while allowing time for group deliberation, the amount of time
216
2
allowed for individual public comments will be based on the number of interested speakers at
each meeting.
ADVISORY GROUP ORGANIZATION
As directed by the City Council, the City Manager will carefully select Advisory Board members
representing public safety, the health district, the school district, and members of the
community; all efforts will be made to ensure that representation is evenly balanced.
The following Advisory Group members will be selected and appointed by the City Manager in
accordance with direction provided by City Council:
• Six Community Representatives – Residents or Business Owners
• Business Representative — Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau
• Health Representative — Beach Cities Health District
• School District Representative — Hermosa Beach City School District
The following City staff will provide guidance and technical support to the advisory group:
• Suja Lowenthal—City Manager
• Paul LeBaron—Chief of Police
• Ken Robertson—Community Development Director
• Mike Jenkins (or designee)—City Attorney
WORKPLAN OUTLINE
As the advisory group progresses through its workplan, it shall do so recognizing that its ultimate
task is to provide input and make recommendations for Council consideration. The workplan will
begin with an introduction and orientation to cannabis policy and related issues. Through the
course of the meetings, the Cannabis Advisory Group will explore the following:
• Should cannabis be sold in Hermosa Beach or should the current ban be maintained?
• If cannabis sales should be allowed in Hermosa Beach, should the sales be in the form of
retail or delivery only?
• If retail sales should be allowed, in what areas of town should they be allowed to locate?
How many should be allowed?
• Is there a community population in Hermosa Beach that needs cannabis who do not
currently have access?
• What is the potential impact of cannabis sales on law enforcement and community
character?

HERMOSA BEACH, CA – The City of Hermosa Beach announced today that it is seeking statements of interest from civic‐
minded residents and business owners who are interested in serving 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.
Petition organizers that represent the cannabis industry are currently seeking signatures to qualify an initiative for the
ballot that would change the City’s ban on cannabis sales and would allow for the establishment of up to two retail
cannabis operations in Hermosa Beach.
The Cannabis Advisory Group will examine whether the City should change its current ban on cannabis sales and, if so,
whether cannabis retail operations or delivery sales should be permitted in Hermosa Beach. The Cannabis Advisory
Group will also study how a change in the ordinance would impact law enforcement and the community.
Members of the Cannabis Advisory Group should be available to participate in at least four or five public meetings of at
least two to three hours in length. The meetings will be conducted by teleconference and will include testimony from
the public.
Per the Council’s instructions, the Cannabis Advisory Group will include representatives of the Hermosa Beach City
School District, Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau and Beach Cities Health District. The six
other members of the Cannabis Advisory Group will be drawn from the community.
Hermosa Beach residents and business owners who are interested in serving on the Cannabis Advisory Group may
submit their statements of interest to anny@hermosabeach.gov. The deadline is January 13, 2022. In your submission,
please include your contact information including phone, address and email. Also please include information about your
qualifications, including any experience you have with cannabis and what, if any opinion, you have about cannabis sales
in Hermosa Beach. For additional information, please see the Cannabis Advisory Group’s workplan at

Hi Ann,
I am interested in participating in the Cannabis Advisory Group. As you know, I have participated in
several advisory groups in the past, including ones to develop the 20 Year Plan and whether or not to go
with LA County Fire. Both assignments required me to compile data and submit the results in either
Word or Excel and/or paper format.
I believe that my good communications and writing skills will be an asset to the team. I come to this
with an open mind and no preconceived notions, which I believe is a good starting point. In my
experience in software development and as a telecom project manager, it is always good to have the
“new kid” on the team to bring a fresh perspective and to ask the question others might not think are
necessary. I look forward to working with the team.
Thank you for your consideration,

Subject: Cannabis advisory committee interest
Hello Ms. Lowenthal,
As a parent, and resident of this city for 24 years, I am very interested in the Cannabis committee being
formed to “study” if the city should change its plan for the sales of Cannabis in the city. I have been on a
couple of committees so I understand the research, study and thoughtful contemplation needed to go
into a report for the city.
I have not had any experience with cannabis, just reading articles about affects on children, and listening
to attorneys and police discussions about the dangers of marijuana. But I do know that cannabis is not
just smoking marijuana.
I am not in favor of any cannabis stores in the city. This opinion is not just because I have not had
experience with cannabis.
The form is still down online so thought I would email that I hope you will consider me.

SUBMISSION FOR HERMOSA BEACH CANNABIS ADVISORY COUNCIL
From Heidi Anderson-Swan
I educate about the mental health harms of marijuana. Last year, I taught
continuing education webinars for both lawyers and professional fiduciaries.
As far as I know, these are the first of their kind.
Additionally, I give presentations about a Young Adult book/film/play I wrote
with my brother called A Night In Jail. It is a fictional story illustrating the short
and long-term risks of youth marijuana use. Utilizing this material, I have
spoken for the 2nd Annual Teaching Cannabis Awareness & Prevention
Virtual Conference, Smart Approaches to Marijuana, National Alliance on
Mental Illness (Long Beach and Solano County), Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse Providers of New York State, Community Coalitions of Virgina, and
others.
I have been interviewed on several podcasts/radio shows. NBC-LA reported
on a screening of our short film, A Night In Jail. They covered an event co-
sponsored by MBSafe (a local, private organization that helps the homeless).
As a board member of Parents Opposed to Pot, I was recently interviewed by
Fox.com about the prospect of marijuana legalization at the federal level.
There are two other nonprofit organizations where I serve on the
Board/Advisory Council: Every Brain Matters and Johnny's Ambassadors.
Locally, I am involved in The Prevention Community Council through
Behavioral Health Services and a member of Rethinking Access to Marijuana.
Because I have so many relationships with prevention organizations in
California and across the country, I am regularly updated about the science
on marijuana and the consequences of its normalization and
commercialization. My involvement as an educator and advocate makes me
uniquely qualified to serve on the Advisory Council in Hermosa Beach.
224
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH MARIJUANA:
As teenagers, my brother and I used marijuana. It was the late 70’s—the
height of youth marijuana use in our country. In this era, the potency of THC
(the psychoactive ingredient) was about 5%. One time, I was using it with my
best friend, and I suddenly did not know who she was or where I was. She
was fine. But I was not. I did not like losing touch with reality, so I stayed away
from the drug.
My brother really liked “the fun house experience” it gave him. He used a little
bit, every day, all the way through high school, college, and graduate school.
After graduation, he went on to cocaine and then crack. In short order, he was
homeless or in jail.
10-15% of the population is predisposed to psychosis and most of us don’t
know it. Marijuana, even at very low potencies (2-8% THC), is an
environmental risk factor for a psychotic reaction. My own experience
illustrates this: I never lost touch with reality before or after I used marijuana.
Only that one time. And, as I said, my friend did not have this reaction at all.
Today’s products are anywhere between 10-20 X stronger than what my
brother and I were using. Like most people I know, I was unaware of the ultra-
high potency products when we voted for legalization.
Young people are increasingly using ultra-high potency THC dabs & vapes.
There are no long-term studies on the risks of these products. To make
matters worse, many parents assume the relatively low risks of old-fashioned,
low-potency-weed apply to these new, ultra- high-potency fruity marijuana
vapes, THC suppositories, tampons, dabs, shatter, creams, candies, cookies,
oils, etc. They simply haven’t been updated about the short-term risks that
include paranoia, hallucinations, vomiting, psychosis. The lack of basic
awareness makes these products even more dangerous.
OPINION ABOUT SALES IN HERMOSA BEACH
I voted for legalization in California. My reasons for doing so were primarily to
keep some people out of jail. Another reason I voted for it was because we, as
a community, were promised we could decide if we want to have retail sales
or not. The assumption that Hermosa Beach voters want legal outlets simply
because we voted in favor of Prop 64 is, at least partially, erroneous.
225
There is a large amount of data to show harms to communities that have any
legal retail. Because of this, I am strongly against legal retail sales of any kind
in Hermosa Beach.
Some harms to a community include but are not limited to: increase of
marijuana-impaired driving fatalities, increased crime, increase of illicit
products/activities, increased youth use, lowers property values and increases
homelessness and more. Much of this data can be found at
www.NoPotShops.com
These harms will be costly to Hermosa. How will we pay these extra
expenses? The industry is demanding tax reform; Governor Newsom, and
some in the Legislature, support this.
Legal Cannabis is a cash-only business, known for murky bookkeeping, that
admits to doing business with the illegal market.
How can Hermosa Beach shake hands with such an industry and allow it
closer access to our youth?

Subject: Submission for Hermosa Beach Advisory Panel for Cannabis
Attention City Managers Office,
My name is Matt Cottrell. I am a long time resident of Hermosa Beach and am interested in serving on
the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group. I have spent the last 9 years immersed in the State
Licensed Cannabis Industry as a multi-state operator in both Arizona and Oregon as a retailer and a
manufacturer. I have first hand experience with the licensing procedure in both states including the
transitions from Medical Marijuana programs to Adult-Use (recreational) in each state respectively. I
have personally experienced the downside of poorly executed municipal MMJ programs and have also
experienced first hand the benefits of a well thought out, and properly executed MMJ program as well. I
can not emphasize enough that there is a VAST difference between the two. Hermosa sits in the
fortunate position of being able to explore which municipalities have done things that have benefited
their communities, and which have been abject failures. I do not see Hermosa's "wait and see" approach
as a hindrance in the least. Waiting has allowed the Hermosa Community to build a program that
encompases the strongest attributes of the most successful programs while avoiding the pitfalls that so
many municipalities have experienced.
In addition, over the last 9 years, I have worked hand in hand with law enforcement including: the
creation of security plans, community outreach programs, analyzing crime statistics and the effect that
cannabis has had on the community and surrounding areas, working with Community Safety Officers,
working with State Marijuana Enforcement Officers and Inspectors for both the Arizona Department of
Health Services and the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commision, and have deployed measures to
mitigate any potential adverse effects that cannabis related businesses would have on the community at
large.
The current proposed ballot initiative for Hermosa should be explored objectively to avoid such pitfalls
and the current draft language is problematic to say the least. The language in these initiatives must be
scrutinized and the public needs to be made aware that the authors of this language are at the very least
attempting to create a monopoly within the city limits with zero benefit to the community via city taxes.
If the voters agree to this, they must be given the chance to do so only after having been fully informed.
To be clear, I am not a cannabis user. But I have seen, first hand the benefits of cannabis use and I am an
advocate for the legal sale and distribution of it. The current situation that the Hermosa Beach
Community finds itself in is one where black market operators are continuing to thrive.. Some of these
operators may even look like legitimate delivery services but I can assure you, they are not. Contrary to
popular belief, most of the app's where people go to, to find delivery services do not perform any sort of
scrutiny as to whether an operator is operating within the parameters of the state licensed system or
are even licensed operators at all. And the fact that they are mobile, and not at a fixed location, makes
enforcement even more difficult. This is a massive problem which allows the black market to thrive in
the Hermosa Community while providing zero upside to the community as a whole.
Thank you for allowing me to submit my information. I respectfully request to be considered for
inclusion in the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group.
227
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Matt Cottrell

To Whom It May Concern,
Please consider this message my indication of interest for a position on Hermosa Beach’s Cannabis
Advisory Group. I have studied the cannabis space from a business perspective for over a decade. While
at Morgan Stanley, I was responsible for significant research into the cannabis legalization efforts in
Oakland beginning in 2007. Additionally, I believe my public speaking and policy research background
compliments my experience in finance which can offer a useful perspective for our city council and
residents. I do not have a set or specific agenda or opinion with regards to cannabis sales in our city.
Instead, I believe the city should take a measured, data-driven approach toward understanding and
balancing the risks and rewards from inviting cannabis businesses into our community. As this change in
Hermosa law has the potential to have far reaching impacts in the city, it is imperative that members of
this group are comfortable working with complex data and are sensitive to the concerns of our fellow
residents.
Thank you for your consideration, I have included my CV as an attachment and more information about

Hi Ann,
I'd like to submit myself for consideration to the Cannabis advisory group.
Beyond occasional recreational use when I was younger I'm not a regular cannabis user currently, but
the vast majority of the people I know definitely are.
I'm of the opinion that with legalization at the state level and the likely pending legalization at the
federal level that we'd be foolish not to set up a legal framework locally to benefit the city and
residents. Letting a resident craft the initiative on behalf of a special interest org instead of the city
also seems like a poor strategy.
I don't have any specific civic experience but I've worked at large companies at the executive level for
many years and have received various training in group dynamics, communication, and collaboration.
Let me know if/how I can help!

RECOMMENDATIONS (City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
eComment: The City Council should NOT sponsor a ballot initiative to legalize dispensaries in
town. I understand the industry sponsored initiative is poorly written, but the response of the city
should be to instead hold a series of informational forums so everyone can see the truth of
today’s cannabis industry and the ill effects on the community. NOT to be on the side of those
pushing drug usage onto our community. This runs counter to everything we have established in
our town that supports healthy living. How can a City Council support drug usage when at the
same time smoking cigarettes is banned? How can a City Council support drug usage when
flavored nicotine vapes are banned? Decades ago, the THC potency levels were 5% to 6% - or
lower. Today, THC potency levels are 70% or higher - and as you can imagine, the effect on
people using cannabis is dramatically different than it was decades ago. Nowadays, cannabis is
linked to cannabis use disorder, which can lead to suicidal ideation. More information is coming
out that demonstrates links between cannabis and violence and schizophrenia. The industry
does everything they can to suppress this and instead, they refer to cannabis as medicine. That
is a fallacy – marijuana is NOT medicine. It is a drug, and now it is a dangerous drug. The
reason the cannabis industry is pushing so hard is because their goal is to become entrenched
in communities before people truly understand the harms of today's cannabis. If they can set up
shop and proliferate and addict community members, they have won. And who loses? Everyone
who has a child, sibling or relative who has been enticed to use marijuana – whether it is by
edibles, which are marketed to children or whether it is vaping or dabbing, which is one of the
highest potency products available. I hope every parent is aware that when a dispensary opens
within 4 miles of where someone lives, children are more apt to try the drug. The industry has
packaged products to appeal to children – whether it is in the form of candy or cereal or baked
goods. This is done for a specific reason – the earlier they can addict someone, the better. But
parents beware – if teenagers become users of cannabis, they can suffer permanent changes to
240
their brain development. From an environmental perspective, cannabis cultivation consumes
tremendous amounts of water and energy. Considering we are in a nearly continuous drought
and will most likely suffer electricity outages this summer, why would we “feed the beast” and
allow this product to be sold in our town? Bizarrely, there are still people who call this “fear
mongering” and do not want to admit the truth. It is hard to understand how people can care so
little about the welfare of others, but sadly, that is the case. It doesn’t make it right and does
nothing to promote the healthy living perspective that has been the ethos and culture of
Hermosa Beach.

Item: a. REPORT 22-0212 HERMOSA BEACH CANNABIS ADVISORY GROUP REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATIONS (City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
eComment: DO NOT LET THE CARTELS GET A FOOTHOLD IN HERMOSA BEACH! The
horrible and undeniable fact is that illegal marijuana will never go away. In fact, illegal marijuana
sales is at 8 billion dollars, double the legal sales. You see, the tired excuse some use to legalize
another substance that will absolutely impact the development of our children, is that legalization
will reduce crime. Actually it is just the opposite. Crime always goes up around the dispensaries.
Cartels, from south of the border, already supply dispensaries with marijuana. This will NOT end.
Pro-hemp folks comment that taking away the profit incentive from illegal sales, will cause it to
go away. NOPE! Any time the government gets involved, prices go up. Restrictions, regulations
and other economic factors, will always favor the illegal grower. Does anyone really think that an
organization that skins people alive and cuts up family members in front of each other, will
actually stop a business that is making them billions of dollars? That is complete nonsense and
will not happen. What you will get, is competition, which always leads to violence. It will also
increase the amount of buds on the streets. The cartels will increase THC content to contend
with the legal industry. They will always be more efficient and have a huge presence in the
market. It astounds me that people are still victims of the 60's when smoking pot was the hip trip.
We have learned so much since then and if you are doing your own research and not listening to
the propaganda coming from the very wealth hemp industry, you would understand the dangers
presented to society by marijuana. It is, in fact, a very dangerous drug that, due to it's well
financed acceptance, has widespread use by kids. Everything about marijuana, especially the
new highly potent strains, is dangerous to a developing human being. Cases of psychosis are on
the rise and attributed to the higher THC levels in today's weed. During the 60's, street level
buds were approximately 3-5% THC. Today it is common to find buds running at a high 30% to
40% THC. Much stronger marijuana can be obtained, but is not commonly offered at
dispensaries. Hemp industry people will tell you that legalization will not increase the use of kids.
243
Well, that just is not true. They will point to studies that show no marked increase in juvenile use
after legalization, but that is, in my experience, a very flawed statistic. Kids are not going to tell
you if they are smoking marijuana, thereby skewing results. The FACT is that any industry that
wishes to remain viable, MUST get the youth involved or they risk loosing their ability to sell in
the future. Why is it that we realized this fact in regard to the tobacco industry, but totally ignore
the market dynamics involve with maintaining a viable marijuana industry? The marijuana
industry has a HUGE carbon footprint and uses an inordinate amount of energy. The grow lights,
vent fans, water pumps and other associated grow equipment, is a huge energy draw. So much
so, that illegal grows were discovered by checking residential electricity usage. Growers then got
hip and began stealing electricity by means of tapping into the system before the meters. We
then used heat sensing cameras, mounted in helicopters, to find the illegal taps. So much
energy is used, that the illegal taps glow like a bonfire at night. I can't imagine how Hermosa
Beach could support an industry that has such a huge carbon footprint. Please do not put
another nail in the coffin of our sweet little beach town, by turning it into Venice south. If you
have a hankerin' for that environment, take a little drive north and enjoy. Just don't bring the
insanity here!!!

eComment: I am so sorry that I can not be at this meeting...I'd really like to see Who on our City
Council thinks this is an improvement. Just the thought that you THINK this was viable to bring to
the people of Hermosa, is baffling. There are Cannabis stores in all of the surrounding areas,
isn't that enough? The history of Hermosa Beach had been known for 50+ years to be the drug
dealing Little community, sad isn't it? We've come a long way since then. It was known as the
ugly step child of the south bay! AND you want to digress. Our fore fathers hard work, time and
efforts to turn Hermosa Beach around and you are willing to destroy it? You don't enforce the
liquor that is inhaled on our Pier, J-walking, dogs on the beach, the electric bikes speeding on
the Strand and the alley, Hermosa Ave. By the way, isn't there a law that you Can Not drive a
motorized ANYTHING without a license? Yet you let this slide you aren't enforcing some of the
simplest of Laws. And YOU think you are capable of enforcing a Cannabis (still a drug) retailers
(Cartel?), Think of the children, look at the mayhem that has littered our little community...if you
allow this to happen, you will be opening the front door to the most horrific disaster to the
community. ALL for profits/money? Rule not by profit alone but with your conscience. Spend
your efforts on getting control of our little town and enforce the laws that we have. Please...Don't
bring this into Hermosa,

eComment: Dear City Council Members, Please oppose any initiative that would allow cannabis
dispensaries in Hermosa Beach. Marijuana is legally available online and easy for adults to
access. There are so many other kinds of businesses that our city should try to attract that are
family friendly. Please preserve our healthy and family friendly town. Increasing visibility and
access to marijuana will cause more harm than good in our children and teens.

eComment: I do believe the kids need to be educated. I do believe a tax should be allowed and
a majority going to the schools for education and school needs. Delivery is already allowed in the
city of Hermosa Beach so I'm not clear why they need to lift that ban. I personally think a
storefront fits with the ideals of Hermosa Beach. I believe the limit of one to two stores maximum
should be allowed. I think there are storefronts available. Thinking about PCH on the south end
of the city, South end of Hermosa Ave, Possibly on Aviation if there is enough distance from the
schools. I do believe the storefront should not be able to advertise outside nor should it be close
to schools or walking access to the schools. I do agree the voters should be able to choose.
Thank you

it, I am potentially open to having legal, regulated and taxed delivery services available to the
residents, but only if the regulations include a complete ban on any advertising that might be
visible to anyone under the age of 21 and a complete ban on waxes, dabs, oils and any other
concentrates or processed products.

committee voted that the city should put forth a competing initiative AND not a watered down
initiative that just allows delivery's to be taxed. Put the power in the hands of the people AND let
us VOTE. I suggest a couple of city sponsored initiatives, one for a full shop in HB that allows the
purchase of medicinal and consumer grade marijuana one that allows the city to tax deliveries
and one that restricts everything. Let the one that sets the most votes win.

eComment: Hermosa invests a lot in health and longevity. We are a Blue Zone.
https://abc7.com/archive/7835437/ The Blue Zones say, “Research from the Framingham
Studies shows that smoking, obesity, happiness, and even loneliness are contagious. So the
social networks of long-lived people have favorably shaped their health behaviors.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6125071/ How can we, as a health-minded Blue
Zone Community, say we are for this substance linked to increase in childhood cancer?
https://bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12885-021-08598-7 Many don't know it's
linked to testicular cancer: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19204904/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22965656/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20925043/ Plus, it's
also harmful to sperm. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7385722/ We should be
strongly against anyone using it in public. We have a right to not be exposed to toxins and to
breathe clean air. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/apr/01/secondhand-bong-smoke-
worse-tobacco-study In 2016, Hermosa cracked down on outdoor smoking and we should do it
again. Fines were between $100-$500. https://www.dailybreeze.com/2016/07/27/want-to-smoke-
in-hermosa-beach-starting-next-month-good-luck/ If our community wants to make money from
this drug, I suggest we put fines on those exposing others to their use. That would be consistent
with our long-term investment in the Blue Zones.

community. By allowing cannabis shops to become part of our community, it makes it less safe.
Kids are allowed to be independent here because they are not exposed to things like less.

oppose the pot shops in our small city. Please, don’t wave this in front of my kids. We are on
PCH and Aviation daily. My kids are so observant. Please don’t make marijuana dispensaries
something my kids become immune to. This is a drug. If they view these shops daily, they soon
think it is the norm. They become immune. No thank you. Let’s keep our community safe and
healthy. Also family friendly. A cannabis shop is sooo far from being family friendly.Please, I beg
of you. Keep Hermosa hermosa. Thank you! Kristina O’Brien

eComment: I have been living in Hermosa Beach since 2019, and I love the fact that it is safe,
quiet and clean, please don’t ruin this by allowing pot shops in this lovely city. This is an
addictive drug, and it will attract marginals. I see 11 year olds smoking pot and they think it’s fine.
I strongly oppose this measure. Marijuana leads to stronger drugs and alcohol. Our children
deserve to stay healthy and thrive.

eComment: We should do whatever it takes to prevent a store selling grass in our town. Every
possible location would negatively affect someone's home and family. The store would bring
drug users to the streets where kids live and play. If it was placed on PCH, customers, some of
which will be addicts, will be using residential streets to and from to get onto PCH. Same goes
for aviation. The challenge to teach our kids to stay away from drugs is much harder if they see a
storefront in our town. Adults who require these drugs for medical purposes or just to get high
can already get it delivered within minutes.

eComment: As a mother of two young children, I vehemently oppose lifting the ban on
storefronts selling marijuana in Hermosa. Allowing these shops to operate in our tiny family-
heavy town will normalize drug use to our young impressionable children. Lifting the ban will also
likely have additional negative effects such as increased criminal activity and lowering property
values. Anyone who needs or wants marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes has many
convenient delivery options. Hermosa Beach definitely should NOT be a destination for buying
drugs. City Council please don’t ruin our wonderful town - no pot shops in Hermosa!!!

eComment: I strongly oppose cannabis dispensaries in Hermosa Beach. I live directly across the
street from one of the sites that was proposed for a dispensary with my wife and 11 year old
daughter. The site was described as a commercial zone suitable for a dispensary, but our
proximity to the beach results in our residential and commercial zones being so close to one
another that they blend together. I previously worked in an area that allowed dispensaries and
saw the negative impact one such establishment had on the area around my office. The store
had armed security outside the front door at all times because they only accepted cash (I
understand the requirement to transact in cash is a result of the Federal Ban on cannabis which
makes it difficult for these stores to have traditional banking relationships). I believe allowing
these stores in our neighborhood will increase crime and vagrancy in our community as they did
in the neighborhood I previously worked. Would you want a dispensary next door to you? Please
don’t allow cannabis dispensaries in Hermosa Beach.

Subject:Public comment AGAINST Cannabis Dispensaries locating in Hermosa Beach
Date:Tuesday, April 12, 2022 9:41:32 AM
Greetings,
As a lifelong Hermosa Beach resident I strongly oppose Cannabis Dispensaries opening in the
City of Hermosa Beach.
Opening a dispensary in the city would certainly attract a bad element. Bring in cannabis and
you open the door to increased violent crime since these businesses deal with large amounts of
cash. They, and their patrons, are frequently targeted by armed criminals. In addition, the
pungent odor of pot, which is already common along the Strand, will be pervasive in all parts
of the city, regardless of whatever smoking ordinances the city enacts.
Hermosa residents already have pot delivered directly to their homes, so why is a physical
location in Hermosa necessary?
The answer is: it is not.
Oppose this.

Regards,
Chris Prenter

eComment: An dispensary initiative is going on Novembers ballot. This is a certainty. Because
there was, to my knowledge, no scientific polling of Hb voters on this issue, we have to assume
that 70% of the voters are going to support an initiative that allows a dispensary. Without data
that conflicts with this assumption, the City NEEDS to put on an initiative on the ballot so this
dispensary can be regulated. Any choice otherwise is irresponsible.

eComment: I strongly oppose any regulation that would allow marijuana sales or delivery in
Hermosa Beach. The data in other cities that have embraced marijuana sales shows that there is
no effective mechanism to keep the drug out of the hands of teenagers. It is supposed to be
illegal for anyone under 21 to possess or consume marijuana, yet, marijuana use has exploded
amongst teenagers. Any regulation that would make it easier to purchase marijuana in our town
would only contribute to this problem. Bringing marijuana stores/delivery to our small town would
be a mistake.

RECOMMENDATIONS (City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
eComment: After attending all of our City's Cannabis Committee meetings one thing is certain,
we have very different view points on whether we should have a dispensary in Hermosa. There
is data on both sides of this argument. For those who think it is legal to deliver cannabis in our
city...it is not. We do not collect taxes and law enforcement cannot seem stop this type of
access. So, if you have cannabis delivered to you in our city...it is done, illegally. Unfortunately, it
is not up to one person, this committee, or even council whether a cannabis shop will open. It will
be up to the majority of the voters in Hermosa. Currently, the "Chacker Cannabis" initiative,
which will allow dispensaries in our city gathered enough signatures to be on the November
ballot. Now, 71% of Hermosa voters supported Prop 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana to Legalize
Cannabis in California). So, I ask those who wish to continue the ban, if that is the will of the
people they will vote against it and any measure created by council. If we want to stand a
chance against the "Chacker Cannabis" initiative, we need to present a united front. I support our
council drafting its own initiative. One that has enough regulations and guidelines that will give
our community and law enforcement a chance to address our concerns. If council doesn't draft
its own initiative, our community will be left to deal with the demands and requirements of this
one-sided "Chacker" measure, if it passes. Now, if we want to maintain control, our council
needs to put up a good fight. At minimum, a tax measure should be drafted to collect funds. We
need to come together as a community and present a united front against this "Chacker"
measure. In the end, the voters will decide.

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0189
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of April 12, 2022
APPROVAL OF LETTER SUPPORTING
ASSEMBLY BILL 2140 (MURATSUCHI, AL):
ONCE-THROUGH COOLING POLICY: POWERPLANTS
(Environmental Programs Manager Douglas Krauss)
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 2140 (AB 2140),which would ensure that the State Water Resources Control
Board does not grant the operator of a power plant any further extension to comply with the
once-through cooling (OTC)policy if the city the power plant is located in formally adopts a
resolution objecting to any further extension; and
2. Submit the letter to key legislators and local stakeholders.
Executive Summary:
Assembly Bill 2140 (AB2140)proposes to ensure that the State Water Resources Control Board
(Water Board)does not grant an operator of a power plant any further extension to comply with the
once-through cooling (OTC)policy if the city the power plant is located in formally adopts a resolution
objecting to any further extension.Staff recommends City Council approve a letter supporting the
proposed legislation.If enacted,AB2140 would further reinforce the City’s efforts to help Redondo
Beach to expedite closure of the AES plant.
Background:
The 50-acre AES Redondo Beach property,just south of the Hermosa Beach border in the City of
Redondo Beach,has been used for electricity generating purposes for over a century.Originally
developed by Henry Huntington under the Pacific Light and Power Company,the property was
acquired by Southern California Edison in 1917,redeveloped in the 1940s,and sold to the AES
Corporation in 1997.
Between 2015 and 2016,the City of Hermosa Beach engaged as an intervenor in proceedings
related to the AES site,providing support to Redondo Beach based on the cities’shared concerns
about the impacts of a potential new power plant.During that time,Hermosa Beach staff participated
in California Energy Commission (CEC)meetings related to the project including telephone
City of Hermosa Beach Printed on 4/8/2022Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™276
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0189
in California Energy Commission (CEC)meetings related to the project including telephone
participation at status conferences,monitoring the CEC’s project docket,attending community
workshops, and participating in joint conference calls with state agencies.
In response to Water Board regulations affecting coastal power plants that use ocean water for
cooling,AES proposed to retire the power generating units by 2020.Any change in the use of the
site,other than for park and open space,would require a zoning amendment and General Plan
amendment.Each amendment would be subject to approval by the voters of Redondo Beach,as well
as require California Coastal Commission approval.The site was the subject of two public votes on
development concepts with neither receiving a majority vote.
In May 2019,Redondo Beach City Council approved the formation of an Enhanced Infrastructure
Financing District to help fund public improvements on the site,in anticipation of the plant’s closure
and anticipated future development.Redondo Beach was also recently successful in securing a grant
of $4.8 million from the California Natural Resources Agency to help fund purchase of a portion of the
site for public park space.
At its April 14,2020 meeting,City Council approved a letter to the Water Board opposing the
proposed extension of the plant’s operations through 2023.The Water Board instead approved the
extension, continuing operations through December 2023.
Past Council Actions Meeting Date Description
July 26, 2016 Heard status report and discussion of City’s involvement on the
Redondo Beach Waterfront Project and AES Property
April 24, 2018 Submitted a letter to Los Angeles County in support of Redondo Beach’s
application to form an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District for the
AES site
April 14, 2020
Approved a letter to the State Water Resources Quality Control Board
opposing an extension of operation of the AES Redondo Beach facility.
Analysis:
Existing law establishes the State Water Resources Control Board within the California
Environmental Protection Agency with specified duties relating to,among other things,administering
water rights,the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act,and the California Safe Drinking Water
Act.The state board has adopted a statewide policy on the use of the coastal and estuarine waters
for powerplant cooling, referred to as the once-through cooling policy.

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0189
On February 15,2022,Assembly Member Muratsuchi introduced Assembly Bill 2140,which
proposes to:
·Prohibit the state board from granting an operator of a powerplant any extension of time to
comply with the once-through cooling policy if the city or county that has jurisdiction over the
site of the powerplant formally adopts a resolution objecting to the extension; and
·Require the Public Utilities Commission,the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission,and the Independent System Operator to work together to identify
alternatives to offset and ultimately replace the powerplants that cease operations as a result
of the enforcement of the once-through cooling policy.
The legislation was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources on March 28,2022.Staff will
continue to communicate with and support the City of Redondo Beach on this matter and,should
AB1240 be approved, support their efforts to adopt the corresponding resolution.

Re: AB 2140 (Muratsuchi, Al) Once-Through Cooling Policy: Powerplants. Notice of SUPPORT (As
introduced on 2/15/2022)
Dear Chair Rivas:
On behalf of the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, this letter confirms our support of Assembly Bill
2140 (Muratsuchi). The City of Hermosa Beach has worked for many years to expedite the end of operations
at the AES Redondo Beach power plant located at 1100 North Harbor Drive in Redondo Beach. AB2140
proposes a pathway to eliminate any more extensions of operations at the plant, which may allow its closure
and the eventual transformation of the site to a more beneficial use that will benefit the community, both locally
and regionally.
The cities of Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach have worked diligently for many years to ensure the AES
Plant cease its operations and help transition the site to a more beneficial use. Redondo Beach spearheaded
these efforts and the City of Hermosa Beach worked closely with Redondo toward the same goals. The site is
located directly across the street from Hermosa Beach’s southern border and has been a grave concern in our
community for its deleterious effect on our environmental health and quality of life. The plant and its acres of
radiating power transmission lines have been highly visible sources of noise, visual and air pollution s for not
only our cities but the region as a whole.
The tireless efforts of the City of Redondo Beach have been vital in finally bringing the imminent closure of this
locus of blight. Currently, the facility is scheduled to close at the end of 2023 and a private party has purchased
the property with the aim of redevelopment. The City of Redondo Beach was additionally awarded a State grant
of nearly $5 million to purchase portions of the land to become open park space and established an Enhanced
Infrastructure Financing District to benefit the site’s future development.
AB2140 is thus another important step in this long-term path towards a future that is free of fossil fuels and
potential oil spills on our beaches. Please accept our support of this important legislation and feel free to contact
our City Manager, Suja Lowenthal, with any questions at suja@hermosabeach.gov.
Sincerely,
Michael Detoy
Mayor of Hermosa Beach

Public Works Director To be included in Revenue
Strategy Study Session (March
3, 2022). PW staff has funding
to prepare an assessment
adjustment study and will
advance that effort – it is
anticipated that the study will
take approximately 2 to 3
months to complete. If council
agrees to advance the
adjustment, it will need to go to
a city-wide ballot.
The annual assessment is
required to go to council each
year for approval and may need
to go to council separately
before the ballot vote. It was
last approved at the 7/13/2021
council meeting.

logo as part of a comprehensive
Administrative Memorandum
(AM) on City Branding and
Logo Use by City Staff. City
staff will begin drafting the
AM after finalizing the City’s
style guide and filing its “Intent
to Use” trademark application
for the City logo with the
USPTO. As part of developing
a Licensing Agreement for the
Commercial Use of the City
Logo, staff will establish a
process for reviewing and
handling these requests. This
process will likely include the
negotiation of royalties and as
well as the preparation of a
staff report to obtain Council
approval to enter into the
agreement. Only once after the
City receives the issuance of a
Notice of Allowance from the
USPTO can it begin approving
applications for commercial
uses of the logo.
