CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS 9/23/03 6, o
RESPONSE TO ATTORNEY JENKINS REPORT DATED 9/18/03
THE SUPPOSED ISSUE ON AGENDA FOR TODAY IS TO DISCUSS THE PURVIEW AND FUNCTION OF
THE "BOARD OF APPEALS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW, AND TO ENSURE THAT A PROPER
PROCESS IS IN PLACE TO IMPLEMENT IT. WHY IS THE CITY COUNCIL CONTINUING TO
CONDONE THE EXPENDITURE OF RIDICULOUS SUMS OF MONEY ON MY ISSUE FOR STAFF TIME
AND "LEGAL OPINIONS" THAT I BELIEVE ARE CLEARLY INCOMPETENT, IRRELEVANT, AND
IMMATERIAL AND HAVE NO BASIS IN LAW OR FACT. AN OPEN FORUM DISCUSSION AND
PRESENTATION OF LAW AND FACTS, OR SUBMITTAL TO THE "BOARD OF APPEALS", WOULD
HAVE RESOLVED MY ISSUE 2 YEARS AGO.
Nevertheless, in reviewing City Attorney Jenkins 9/18/03 "Report" to the City Council for
consideration at this City Council meeting, I believe it to be clearly, and in its entirety
incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial in all respects. I urge the City Council to disregard it
(and his prior report) for these reasons.
I. At the last City Council meeting on 9/9/03, I provided the reasons with regard to his prior
6/20/02 report (attached herein, again), most importantly wherein he states:
"I an not in a position to second guess the determination of the Building Official (Sol
Blumenfeld) on a TECHNICAL ISSUE." (and other such statements)
II. Nowhere in either of The City Attorney's reports does he provide any evidence, applicable
law citations or other documents to support any of his so called "legal" contentions.
III. With regard to his current subject 9/18/03 "Report":
1) "The existence of the Board of Appeals is no Secret"; indeed, the provisions establishing
the Board appear on the very first page of the chapter in the Municipal code" , etc.
QUESTION: Why were all of the City Council Members and residents of the City unaware
of this Board of Appeals and it's purpose mandated by State Law (and our City itself)?
2) With regard to the remainder of his report concerning the function of the Board of
Appeals, it clearly contradicts not only State Law, but also the City function defined and
available on the City web site.

provides for reasonable interpretations of the Building Code",

CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS 9/23/03
RESPONSE TO ATTORNEY JENKINS REPORT DATED 9/18/03
B. CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
SECTION 105: BOARD OF APPEALS
9/23/03
"IN ORDER TO HEAR AND DECIDE APPEALS OF ORDERS, DECISIONS OR DETERMINATIONS
MADE BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL RELATIVE TO THE
APPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS CODE,
THERE SHALL BE AND IS HEREBY CREATED A BOARD OF APPEALS CONSISTING OF
MEMBERS WHO ARE QUALIFIED BY EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING TO PASS ON MATTERS
PERTAINING TO BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OF THE
JURISDICTION. THE BUILDING OFFICIAL SHALL BE AN EX OFFICIO MEMBER OF AND SHALL
ACT AS SECRETARY TO SAID BOARD, BUT SHALL HAVE NO VOTE ON ANY MATTER BEFORE
THE BOARD, THE BOARD OF APPEALS SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNING BODY
AND SHALL HOLD OFFICE AT ITS PLEASURE. THE BOARD SHALL ADOPT RULES OF
PROCEDURE FOR CONDUCTING ITS BUSINESS, AND SHALL RENDER ALL DECISIONS AND
FINDINGS IN WRITING TO THE APPELLANT WITH A DUPLICATE COPY TO THE BUILDING
OFFICIAL."
The law is clear that Appeals are submitted directly to the Board for decision, and NOT via
the Building Official "who shall have no vote on any matter before the Board". To me it's clear
that the sole purpose of the City Attorney's report is to circumvent and redefine the purpose
and function of the Board of Appeals (mandated by State Law) by forcing the decision
about whether an issue is submitted to the Board through the City Building Dept. Manager,
against whom the Appeal is being submitted!
IV. IF AN ISSUE IS SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD, WHY NOT LET THE BOARD ITSELF DETERMINE
WHETHER THE ISSUE IS UNDER THEIR PURVIEW?
V. In my case the issue is NOT a "code enforcement issue", as the City Attorney claims:
specifically, whether a retaining wall is required. That was ALREADY decided by the Building
Department, Specifically: Letters to my neighbor from the Building Dept. dated Jan. 15, 2002
from Bob Rollins, and Jan 31, 2002 from Sol Blumenfeld, which notified my neighbor that he
must install a retaining wall. The issue is as specified above (A and B), pertaining to the
purview and function of the Board of Appeals, and are SPECIFICALLY:
"the suitability of alternate materials and methods of construction, and reasonable
interpretations of the Building Code",
and
"APPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS (THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING) CODE"

on the ballot, noting that businesses have been forced to lay off
employees, increase prices, and cut expenses because of the
economy; said businesses contribute to the City's economic
health by providing sales tax, parking fees and property tax, and
would be greatly impacted if the . business license tax was
calculated by gross receipts; said the Chamber was willing to
offer experts to assist in an examination of the City budget;
Ron Newman — Aloha Sharkeez, said restaurant and bars seemed to
be targets because the City believed they used a lot of services,
but if they were to close earlier, there would be less sales tax
and less parking fees; said unlike retail, restaurants and bars
have the burden of Health Department regulations and their
small profit margin demands a huge volume; understood that an
increase might be necessary, but said businesses would be
more supportive if the City were cutting expenses;
Donley Falkenstien — Hermosa Beach, suggested that there were too
many police officers at Pier Plaza and felt it would be more
economical to have the businesses who use the police services
regularly pay for these services or provide their own security to
handle the problems;
Randy Fortunato — Bottle Inn, said since September 11, 2001, all
businesses have been struggling; said a large business did not
always mean large profit because the expenses are large also;
said all costs have increased and profit has decreased; said he
needed to sell $5,000 monthly in food just to pay for his patio
lease; said if the proposed increase was approved, there would
be no increased benefit to his business and he might have to
lay off employees; urged the Council not to put this increase on
the ballot;
Steve Roberts — Cafe Bugaloo, asked if the Council was aware of what
a restaurant nets monthly, noting that the figures were available
from the California and the National Restaurant Associations;
said restaurants are losing money because of the economy and
being forced to lay off employees, and that this was not the time
to raise taxes;
Andrew Basanva — California Restaurant Association, said for the first
time in 25 years, there had been a decline in the industry; said
restaurants have additional overhead that retail does not, such
as a liquor license or health fee, and that tips go into the gross
receipts; said the business community would better support the
increase if they knew where the additional funds were going;

suggested that everyone sit down at the table together and work
this out because the businesses want to stay in the City;
Roger Bacon — Ralph's Shopping Center, asked how supermarkets
would be affected by this increase, noting that he had been
struggling along with other shopping centers with tenants going
bankrupt and paying no rent and vacancies; said this was a
recession and all businesses, small and large, are faced with
the same problems; said this was not a good time to raise
taxes; offered to help in anyway he could to keep the
businesses in town;
Nancy Caldwell — Cafe Bugaloo, agreed with all the previous speakers;
said for eight or nine years Hermosa Avenue was mostly
boarded -up buildings until a lot of brave people developed
businesses; said the City should support the business owners;
John Bowler — Hermosa Beach, said that having been on the Council
and a restaurant owner, he understood both sides of the issue;
said cities are facing a true crisis because of State financial
problems; suggested that if fees are increased, the situation be
re-evaluated in two to four years and that fees be reduced when
the crisis passes; and
Pete Tucker — Hermosa Beach, suggested that instead of a sudden,
steep increase, there be a gradual increase with a sunset
clause so that businesses could plan ahead; said that marginal
businesses would leave the City and then there would be no
revenue from them; said businesses need to know how funds
raised by increased taxes will be spent.
The public hearing ended at 8:40 p.m.
Action: To accept staff recommendation except, for restaurants only, to
charge $1.60 per $1,000 of gross receipts, effective July 1, 2004.
Motion Mayor Keegan, second Reviczky. The motion, which required a 4/5
vote, failed, noting the dissenting votes of Dunbabin and Edgerton.
The meeting recessed at 9:20 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 9:35 p.m.

Roger Bacon — Ralph's Shopping Center, spoke to his letter asking for
revisions to the requirements for temporary business signs and

Helen Riverez — Hermosa Beach, opposed changes to the
requirements, saying that the fee was minimal and that often
these signs are blight; and
Donley Falkenstien — Hermosa Beach, said any helium -filled balloons
used should be weighted down because metallic balloons
caused problems with power lines and latex balloons often

swallowed them.

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council September 23, 2003
PROJECT NO. CIP 00-140 STREET IMPROVEMENTS —11TH PLACE ON -STREET
PARKING IMPROVEMENTS - APPROVAL OF INCREASE IN THE SCOPE OF
WORK AND FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the attached First Amendment to the Professional Services
Agreement between City of Hermosa Beach and NBCE, Inc. for an increase
in Scope of Services and contract amount of $10,800.00;
2. Authorize the City Clerk to attest and the Mayor to execute said amendment,
upon approval as to form by the City Attorney; and
3. Authorize the Director of Public Works/City Engineer to make adjustments to
the Scope of Services as necessary, not to exceed $1,080.00.
Background:
On September 10, 2002 City Council approved the Professional Services Agreement
between the City and NBCE, Inc. in the amount of $26,950 plus a contingency of
$2,695. The original scope of this agreement, per the Request for Proposal (RFP) and
subsequent Professional Services Agreement approved by Council on September 10,
2002, entailed design of street improvements for Project No. CIP 00-140 Street
Improvements — 11th Place On -Street Parking Improvements. The proposed
improvements consisted of the expansion of 11th Place, construction of a retaining wall
to provide for 20 parking spaces along 11th Place, and street improvement plans for 11th
Place and Bard Street between Pier Avenue and Valley Drive. Currently, the
contingency balance is $1,715 for which NBCE performed a title search as additional
work under Change Order #1 for a sum of $880.
During the final design review process and with meetings with Staff, the scope has
changed to include the following additional requirements and/or changes in design:
1. Extension of the proposed retaining wall westerly to the City's property line
2. Modification of centerline elevations along 11th Place in order to create a
crowned street section
3. Elimination of the current cross gutters in 11th Place: modification and/or
possible elimination of the cross gutter in 11th Place that exits the City Hall
Parking Lot
2g
• •
4. Modifications to the existing curb & gutter and sidewalk adjacent to the Public
Works Parking Lot
5. Additional field survey work required for the extension of the proposed
retaining wall and the modification of the cross gutter exiting the City Hall
Parking Lot
6. Design Support Services by the Consultant during construction to include
response to Request for Information (RFI's), Change Order Design Exhibits,
and preparation of as -built plans.
The preliminary design of the project was presented on January 14, 2003 and approved
by Council. With the expanded and revised design, additional design fees are required
to complete the increased scope of services.
Analysis:
The proposed increased Scope of Work and change in design contained in this
recommendation includes the extension of the proposed retaining wall. The extension of
the proposed retaining wall will allow the City's Employee Parking Lot on Bard Street to
be extended southerly towards Hermosa Self -Storage thereby increasing the parking
lot's flat surface area while also serving to clean up the overall area. The increase in flat
surface area has the potential of providing some additional parking spaces, which would
be at the expense of removing the existing Eucalyptus trees and small landscaped area
surrounding them. However, the plans presently show the existing landscape area
remaining in place until a determination has been made to develop this area. Staff also
recommends that 11th Place have a typical crowned street section and allow for surface
drainage to flow on both sides of the street towards Valley Drive via proposed concrete
gutters. The creation of a crowned street section will lead to the elimination of the
current cross gutters in 11th Place and modification and/or possible elimination of the
cross gutter in 11th Place that exits the City Hall Parking Lot. The elimination of the
cross gutters currently extending through 11th Place will allow for unimpeded travel of
vehicles on 11th Place in addition to providing a more aesthetically pleasing street.
NBCE, Inc., under this amendment, shall also provide design support services during
construction which will include answers to "Requests for Information", change order
design exhibits, and the preparation of as -built plans. The above described design
changes and improvements were developed when the project plans underwent the final
design review. Additional field research, design, engineering, administration, and
coordination will be required to develop a more acceptable design and to successfully
complete this project. Therefore, an increase of $10,080 in the design contract amount
is in order.
Under the terms of the existing agreement between the City and NBCE, Inc., any
increase in the contract amount or scope shall be by express written amendment
approved by the City and the Consultant. Please see Attachment 2.

AWARD PURCHASE OF PUBLIC TRASH AND RECYCLE CONTAINERS
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the purchase of 200 trash and 200 recycle containers from San Diego
Precast Concrete of Santee, California, in the amount of $106,560.00; and
2. Appropriate $106,560 from the AB939 Fund; and
3. Direct Staff to issue the appropriate purchase documents.
Summary:
At the direction of the City Council, Staff rebid the purchase of 200 trash and 200 recycle
containers. The Notice Inviting Bids was again published in the Easy Reader and the Green
Sheet. Bid packages were sent to eleven qualified bidders. Bid results are indicated below.

$108,942.00
Quick Crete Products
Norco, CA
$110,000.00
Universal Precast
Redding, CA
$114,750.00
Background:
On September 24, 2002, City Council awarded a sole source bid for 400 trash and recycle
containers to Quick Crete Products for $180,996.00. After further review, it was determined that
the City should go out to bid for these products. Staff prepared bid documents and received
bids from four (4) manufacturers. Staff then prepared an agenda item recommending award to
Quick Crete Products for a bid of $128,036.80. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding of
the submittal requirements and on June 10, 2003, council rejected all bids and directed Staff to
re -bid with corrections made to the bid documents. Staff modified the bid documents and the
revised documents were again sent to qualified bidders.
On July 17, 2003, four (4) bids were received. The apparent low bidder at $106,560.00, San
Diego Precast, has met all submittal requirements including furnishing a full size container for
Council approval.
Staff has reviewed all submittals and contract documents and recommends the award to San
Diego Precast.
The first group of approximately fifty (50) containers will be delivered approximately four (4)
weeks after receipt of order. It will take approximately three to six months for completion of
container delivery and placement.
2h
• •
Staff is working with the Conservation Corps of Long Beach to provide funding for the recycling
containers and also to provide weekly collection service for all of the recycling containers at no
cost to the City. They have proposed to pay for all the recycling lids, which will be a cost saving
to the City of approximately $9,000. The bigger savings will be from the free collection services.
The Conservation Corps receives its funding from the State Department of Conservation,
Division of Recycling, also know as the "bottle bill money". Their program employs "at risk"
youth between the ages of 18 and 23 years old, giving them an opportunity to gain work
experience and to earn a high school diploma.
Fiscal Impact:
The contract amount of $106,560 will be paid using AB939 Funds. In addition, this amount may
be further reduced, by approximately $9,000, pending final agreement with the Conservation
Corps.

the Hermosa Beach City Council . September 23, 2003
SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE VACATION OF THE LAST REMAINING
PORTION OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF PORTER LANE ADJACENT TO THE
SOUTH SIDE OF VALLEY PARK
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HERMOSA BEACH DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO VACATE AND ABANDON FOR
PUBLIC PURPOSES THE LAST REMAINING PORTION OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF PORTER
LANE BETWEEN MORNINGSIDE DRIVE AND VALLEY DRIVE, AFFECTING LOTS 1 — 7 OF
HERMOSA TERRACE ANNEX;" and
2. Set the Public Hearing for October 28, 2003.
Background:
The City received a request from Karen Nelson by letter dated April 2, 2003 (Attachment 1),
requesting said vacation. The portion of Porter Lane proposed for vacation lies between
Morningside Drive and Valley Drive, the centerline of which is the southern boundary of
Valley Park. This portion of Porter Lane is what we refer to as a "paper street", in that it
exists on paper only. The City has no plans to construct a street within this right-of-way
easement. The Planning Commission confirmed this at its regularly scheduled meeting held
on August 19, 2003 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 03-46 (Attachment 2).
The majority of the south side of Porter Lane was already vacated (date uncertain), but for
some unknown reason vacation was not completed for seven lots east of Morningside Drive
(Attachment 3). The area proposed for vacation lies entirely south of the existing paved
walkway entering the park from Morningside Drive and therefore presents no reduction in
park area.
Vacation Proceedings:
Proceedings are required by Sections 8300-8324 of the California Street and Highways
Code. Staff has determined that the City's General Plan Objectives and Policies do not
conflict with the subject vacation, that the remnant portion of street right-of-way is held in
easement with no fee interest, and therefore has no public value.
The Resolution of Intention to Vacate must be adopted by the City Council at a regularly
scheduled City Council meeting. Notice of this resolution must be published in a local
newspaper fifteen days before the public hearing before City Council. In addition, the
proposed vacated portions of street must be posted with a Notice of Public Hearing at least
10 days before the hearing. Staff recommends setting the public hearing for October 28,
2003.

Written notices will be sent to all public utilities and public utility easements shall be

Subject: Request that the continued Vacation of Porter Lane be completed
Dear Mr. Morgan:
We hereby respectfully request that the City, pursuant to the provisions of "Street Vacation Act of 1941"
division 9 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California, continue to vacate the portion of
Porter Lane immediately fronting the following properties:
2520 Morningside Drive
2516-18 Morningside Drive
2512 Morningside Drive
2506 Morningside Drive
485 25th Street
489 25th Street
This vacation would be consistent with the property located at 2524 Morningside Drive and Hermosa
Beach City Resolution No.'s N. S.: 2574, 2586, 1993, 1985, 2822 and 2799.
This portion of Porter Lane, for all intents and purposes, has been closed up, vacated and abandoned for
public street purposes. It backs onto the park and the proposed further vacation will have no effect on area
traffic circulation or property access because all affected properties take access from either Morningside
Drive or 25th Street
Please refer to attached mentioned city resolutions and city assessor map. I am also supplying photo's to
show current neighboring usage.
I would like to arrange a personal meeting with you in this next week to further discuss this issue.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Curri 'r

Court.
B. The proposed street vacation is proposed between Morningside Drive and 25th Court.
C. The proposed street vacation will eliminate 10 feet of excess right-of-way and will

D. The proposed street vacation will leave 10 feet of right-of-way on the northerly 1/2 of
Porter Lane Street consistent with the previous street vacation 90 feet east of
Morningside Drive.

Street.
F. The proposed street vacation is Categorically Exempt from the requirement for an

Quality Act Guidelines, Section 15305, and qualifies for a Statutory Exemption with
the finding that the project can be seen with certainty as having no impact on the
environment.

5. Correspondence
A letter was received from the "5th Street Committee" listing options they felt would be best for what they
consider to be the problems on that street. Mr. Morgan advised that these issues could be dealt with
apart from the street refurbishment. Commissioner Cheatham suggested special permits could be an aid
for parking difficulties on 5th Street. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Flaherty advised that this was being done now
with other projects.
6. Items for Commission Consideration
a. Traffic Accident Review Intersections of 5th Street and Pacific Coast Highway, 2nd Street and
Hermosa Avenue and 2nd Street and Manhattan Avenue
Mr. Morgan presented an overview, noting the possibility of re-agendizing the item at for a
future meeting. He then turned the floor over to Sgt. Thomas Thompson who presented the
accident histories of subject intersections and noted his observations. Sgt. Thompson noted that
the information presented was gathered from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Reporting System
(SWITRS) from 7/1/01 through 12/31/02 and the HBPD accident reports 1/1/03 through 6/30/03.
Discussion after Sgt. Thompson's presentation highlighted the following:
• The Stealth Surveys indicate that at the intersections of 2nd St. and Manhattan Ave. and 2nd
St. and Hermosa Ave. vehicles are travelling well below the speed limit.
• Accident figures are based on what's been reported — figures could be double that since
many accidents go unreported.
• The intersection of 5th St. and PCH has one of the highest accident rates in the City.
• Situation at 5th St. and PCH could be improved if signal reprogrammed as Caltrans did with
the signal at 2nd St. and PCH.
• Will need to request that Caltrans make the changes.
• The intersection of 2nd St. and Hermosa Ave. could be helped if changed to a 4 -way flashing
stop.
• Caltrans is responsible for programming costs on PCH; should approach the signal changes
at 5th and PCH as a safety concern standpoint.
7:22 Commissioner Winnek arrived.
Suggestions/comments that arose during discussion of 2nd St. and Hermosa Avenue:
• Removing the signal and putting in a 4 -way stop could create a tremendous traffic jam.
• Could keep it as is and split the northbound and southbound phasing.
■ Removal of two parking spots from each of the north and south bound approaches, add a
left -turn pocket and modify the signal to allow for protected left turns — with arrow.
■ Make #1 lane on Hermosa Ave. a left turn lane with the #2 lane going through the
intersection — wouldn't have to split the phasing and would require no geometric changes or
loss of parking places. Could have to paint arrows to indicate the left -turn lane — would lose
vehicle capacity on Hermosa Ave.
• Traffic signal would be reprogrammed to allow for changes.
• Northbound and southbound signals would both be changed for consistency purposes.
• Traffic count not yet done at this intersection.
• No intersection large enough to make a u -turn.
• At one time this intersection was a 4 -way stop with no left or u -turns permitted.
• Traffic signal was brought in due to pedestrian complaints.
• This is the single location with this these types of problems in the downtown area. Many
different types of accidents in the other downtown intersections.
• Testing a four-way stop at that intersection good idea. Most feasible idea financially.
PWC Minutes
2 August 20, 2003
• •
■ Receive calls about 6th & Hermosa Ave. as being dangerous — could add four-way there.
• Another intersection that could be looked at is 10th and Hermosa Ave — vehicles fly through
the STOP at that intersection. Flashing lights would be beneficial.
■ Warning signs about STOP sign ahead could also be helpful along with checking visibility of
the STOP signs themselves.
• In -pavement flashers could be used to complement STOP signs — more useful at night than
during the day.
■ Can look into possibility of MTA grants available since Hermosa Ave. is on a bus route.
• There is some concern about cars pulling out from parking spots if intersection of 2nd &
Hermosa Ave. is changed to four-way stop.
• Eastbound/westbound stops installed recently at the intersection of 2nd St. & Manhattan Ave.
and no accidents reported since.
• Mr. Joel Daniel of 611 Porter Lane suggested that a NO RIGHT TURN ON RED sign be
posted on the northeast corner of Herondo St. and Hermosa Ave.
MOTION by Commissioner Cheatham to experiment with a four-way flashing STOP at the
intersection of 2nd Street and Hermosa Avenue. Seconded by Commissioner Lombardo.
Staff will confer with City Manager and City Attorney to ensure feasibility of test.
Ayes: Applebaum, Cheatham, Lombardo, Beste, Winnek
Nays: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
Motion passed.
Mr. Abassi presented his findings for the intersection 5th and PCH. They included:
• Problems at this intersection due to the offset nature
• Split phasing of eastbound/westbound traffic or restricting left turns could be beneficial. There is a
need to be sure circulation problems are not created.
• It is a Caltrans controlled intersection and they would have to be contacted since it would change
the traffic flow that Caltrans has been developing along State Route 1 (PCH).
• There's no easy solution for this intersection.
• A letter can be written to present suggested timing changes to Caltrans.
• Changing to match the timing at 2nd and PCH would help for vehicles on 5th St. but wouldn't help
the left turns onto 5th St. from PCH.
• No obvious reason for the decline in accidents at this intersection since 2001
MOTION by Commissioner Lombardo to receive and file and allow Staff to continue their investigations.
Seconded by Commissioner Applebaum.
Ayes: Applebaum, Cheatham, Lombardo, Beste, Winnek
Nays: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
b. Proposed News rack Ordinance
Mr. Morgan presented the staff report.
Staff is currently bringing the draft ordinance to the Commission for review before taking it to Council. If
there are no questions, there will be one more meeting with the publishers then it will go to Council for
approval.
PWC Minutes
3 August 20, 2003
• •
The ordinance has been reviewed by both the City Manager and the City Attorney and is legally
acceptable. There is no intent to regulate content. There will be a public lottery to determine which
publications will be awarded spaces. The locations will be evaluated before the units are installed. It
was decided that Hermosa Brown would be the color selection. It was noted that the new units will be
bolted into place and only the newsracks in the public right-of-way will be affected.
Discussion highlighted the following:
• The subcommittee reviewed ADA access concerns at the post office location and determined that,
with the anticipated reduction in the number of newsracks, sidewalk accessibility will not be a
problem.
• The ordinance will allow the City to control the locations.
• The news racks can be moved and are only bolted down and easily modified. This ordinance
regulates the public right of way only.
■ The ordinance does allow the publisher to request a new location and, at its discretion, the City
may grant that request.
MOTION by Commissioner Winnek to approve the ordinance as is to the city council with addition that
we use a Hermosa brown color. Seconded by Commissioner Cheatham.
Ayes: Applebaum, Cheatham, Winnek, Lombardo, Beste
Nays: None
Abstain: None
Absent: None
Motion passed.
7. Commissioners Report
Tree Committee
Commissioner Lombardo distributed the tree rules and regulations for review and discussion at the next
meeting. The Subcommittee, consisting of Ms. Lombardo, Pete Tucker of the Planning Commission and
Bill Sigler of the Parks & Recreation Commission, would appreciate the commissioners' comments and
suggestions.
Coming forward to address the commission was:
Joel Daniel 611 Porto Lane
Mr. Daniel noted that eucalyptus trees are not native to the area and all should be removed and replaced.
The existing trees are dying and should be replaced with something appropriate to the area.
Commissioner Lombardo stated that there is a list of trees included with the new regulations.
Gateway Committee
The Gateway Signage Subcommittee is along nicely. Ms. Lombardo is anticipating a presentation at the.
September commission meeting.

8. Council Agendas, Agendas
Commissioner Cheatham asked if Council minutes could be provided in a timelier manner. Ms. Punneo
advised that they were made available at the next meeting following receipt in the department.
Commissioner Cheatham inquired about a water problem at 4th and Manhattan Ave. — was anyone
aware of water difficulties at that location? Mr. Flaherty advised that there is a small catch basin with
30 -year-old pipe at that location. Mr. Morgan noted that staff is looking at the possibility of filtration
grating for a number of locations. Commissioner Cheatham noted that the basins at 3`d and Ardmore,
2nd and Valley also appear to be plugged. Mr. Morgan advised that that is the reason they are
investigating the filtration grating.
In response to Commissioner Cheatham's inquiry, Ms. Punneo advised that the Project Status Reports
are submitted at the end of the month and prepared for presentation to the at the second Council
meeting of every month.
9. Items Requested by Commissioners
Commissioner Applebaum asked about maintenance of the volleyball courts between 6th and 7th on the
Strand. Mr. Flaherty advised that the nets do not belong to nor does the City maintain them. On an
annual basis, he goes to the various nets and posts notices regarding removal of the nets. The Parks
and Recreation Commission must approve any new locations. Their decisions are based on a specific
formula. The City does not own or operate any of these courts but does have the authority to remove
them.
As a point of order, Commissioner Winnek noted that the since the discussion could possibly be
litigious, and it may not be in the City's best interest holding the discussion in a public forum.
Chairman Cheatham concurred and the discussion was halted.
Commissioner Lombardo announced that the Farmers Market will be moving into Clark Field on August
29tH This action was being taken in the interest of public safety.
Commissioner Lombardo asked about adding "2 -WAY" and "4 -WAY" to the bottoms of STOP signs.
Commissioner Winnek noted that a Mr. Arnhoff had contacted him several times by message regarding
the Strand and bike path incidents. Mr. Morgan advised that he would attempt to obtain the information
regarding safety issues on the Strand from the Fire Department.
10. Other Matters
Commissioner Lombardo complimented the Public Works Department on the temporary parking on
Valley Drive between 2nd Street and Herondo Street. Mr. Morgan noted that perhaps meters could be
added after it is determined that the parking spaces will remain on a permanent basis.
The commissioners agreed to postpone the September meeting until the 24th allowing for the absence of
both Mr. Morgan, Mr. Flaherty.
11. Public Comments
None.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council September 23, 2003
REAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FROM 2002-03 TO 2003-04,
REVISION OF REVENUE ESTIMATES FOR
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
FUND REAPPROPRIATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Reappropriate amounts listed below to the FY 2003-2004 budget.
2. Revise revenue estimates related to reappropriation of CDBG Funds.
BACKGROUND
Reappropriations to 2003-04: Budget appropriations for 2002-03 expired June 30, 2003.
Equipment and supplies or services must have been received by June 30th in order to be
charged to the 2002-03 budget. Some departments have items or services that were
budgeted in 2002-03 but were not delivered or complete by year-end. In these cases,
unspent amounts for those items or projects need to be reappropriated, since they were
not included in the 2003-04 budget. In the case of capital improvement projects, unspent
funds are added to any amounts appropriated in the 2003-04 Budget, as necessary.
Revisions to Revenue Estimates: For the CDBG Fund, if amounts are reappropriated,
the revenue estimate needs to be budgeted as well.

Cost per trip: 751,436/90,746 = $8.28 per trip
Cost per passenger mile: 751,436/294,266 = $2.55 per passenger mile
This shows a fairly reasonable cost when compared to other similar systems. The
reporting information that the City has received over the years from Redondo Beach will
be revised to include the share of the satellite areas that have not been reported.
The redesign effort that Redondo Beach has initiated will include a review of the WAVE
Program, a study of a fixed route system that would serve the three beach cities and other
options or ideas that come up as part of the review. This will include whether or not the
operation should purchase the rolling stock instead of contracting with a private
transportation company, the use of taxies and other alternatives.
5a
Staff would work with Redondo Beach staff and others to review and develop a proposal
that will be submitted for review and consideration by each of the cities involved. Public
hearings, workshops and other outreach will be part of any proposal brought forward.
In addition, staff will report back to the City Council on a periodic basis reporting the
progress of this effort.

October 4, 2002
To the Honorable Members of
The City Council of
Redondo Beach, California
Tc. the Los Angeles County
M stropolitan Transportation Authority and to the
Ft deral Transit Administration
We have audited the accompanying Schedule of Ridership, Operating Data, Operating
E::penditures and Farebox Revenues from the City of Redondo Beach quarterly reports
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. Our audit was made in accordance with
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,
accordingly, included such procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Our audit was to determine whether:
1. There is a system in place that is maintained for recording data in accordance with
the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), National Transit Database (NTD)
definitions;
2. There is a system in place to ensure that the correct data are being measured and that
no systematic errors exist;
3. There is a system in place to record this data on a continuing basis and that the data
gathering is an ongoing effort;
4. There are source documents available to support the reported data, that the records
are maintained for the FTA review and audit for a minimum of three years, and that
the data are fully documented and accurately stored;
There is a system of internal controls to assure the accuracy of the data collection
process and recording system, that the report documents are not altered, and that the
documents are reviewed and signed by a supervisor;

6. Data collection methods are those suggested by FTA, or at least equivalent in
assuring quality and precision, and that the data collection methods documented are
being followed;
7. Deadhead miles, computed as the difference between the reported total actual
vehicle miles data and the reported total actual vehicle revenue miles data, appear to
be accurate;
8. Farebox revenues have been properly accounted for and recorded in accordance with
the FTA definitions; and
9. Data are consistent with prior reporting periods and other facts known about the
contract services provider's operations.
Our procedures were to assure the accuracy of the data included, but were not limited to
tests of clerical accuracy of the source documents such as daily trip sheets and supporting
worksheets. We agreed the data from the selected daily trip sheets to the supporting
worksheets and the operating data as reported. We agreed reported expenditures to the
source documents. (See Note 1)
In our opinion, the Schedule of Ridership, Operating Data, Operating Expenditures and
Firebox Revenues referred to above present fairly the ridership, operating data, operating
expenditures and farebox revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 in conformity
w:.th the Uniform System of Accounts and Records and Reporting System; Final Rule as
specified in 49 CFR Part 630, Federal Register, January 15, 1993; and as presented in the
2002 Reporting Manual.
We certify that the applicable Urbanized Area Formula data items, vehicle revenue miles,
passenger miles and operating cost (directional route miles do not apply to Demand
Response Systems), comply with the requirements referred to above and farebox
revenues retained by the contract services provider have been properly accounted for and
recorded in accordance with the FTA definitions. The data are consistent with prior
reporting periods and other facts known about the contract services provider's operations.
This report is intended solely for the use of the City of Redondo Beach, Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and FTA and is not intended for any other
purpose. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which
upon acceptance by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is a
matter of public record.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach City Council September 23, 2003
SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE 03-1
LOCATION: 603 THIRD STREET
APPLICANT: SUSAN SCOTT
603 THIRD STREET
HERMOSA BEACH, CA 90254
REQUESTS: ZONE CHANGE FROM M-1 (LIGHT MANUFACTURING) TO R-2 (TWO-
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL)
Planning Commission Recommendation
To approve the Zone Change by introducing the attached ordinance.
Background
At their meeting of August 19, 2003 the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed Zone Change, because it would bring the zoning into consistency with the Land Use Map
of the General Plan that identifies the area as MD (Medium Density Residential). The Commission
also approved a Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, and Vesting Tentative Parcel
Map for a two -unit condominium project contingent upon the final approval of the zone change by
the City Council.
PROJECT INFORMATION
GENERAL PLAN: Medium Density Residential
ZONING: M-1 (proposed for change to R-2)
LOT AREA: 5,160 Square Feet
UNITS ALLOWED IF R-2 ZONE: 2
NUMBER OF UNITS PROPOSED: 2
PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE: 2,566 and 2,709 Square Feet
EXISTING USES: Two dwelling units
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Negative Declaration Recommended (Initial
Study on file)
The property is currently developed with a two older single story houses. The property is located
on the corner of Ardmore Avenue and Third Street and is one of the last 10 remaining properties
in this segment of Ardmore Avenue that retains M-1 zoning inconsistent with the Medium
Density General Plan designation. The proposed change to R-2 would make the zoning
consistent with the General Plan.
The Staff Environmental Review Committee, at their meeting of April 10, 2003, recommended
an environmental negative declaration for the proposed Zone Change.

Analysis •
Mt- :,pplicant is proposing the zone change in order to develop the property residentially and make
the Zoning Map consistent with the General Plan Map. The request involves one lot that the
applicant owns on the corner of Ardmore and Third Street. Two other M -1 -zoned parcels remain
on this block, including the adjacent property to the south that is currently improved with a
commercial/manufacturing building and a lot containing a residence on Third Street.
In 1997, staff suggested the City initiate rezoning the properties between 1st Place and 5th Street
along Ardmore that are inconsistent with the Medium Density Residential General Plan
designation, as recommended in the 1994 Land Use Element Update. Based on City Council
direction in regards to these inconsistent areas, rather than initiating General Plan Amendments or
Zone Changes, the City is considering requests initiated by property owners on a case-by-case basis.
Of the 17 parcels that were identified as inconsistent in 1994 Land Use Element in this area, 7 have
already been rezoned to R-2, and the subject property is one of 10 remaining parcels with an
inconsistent M-1 zoning designation.

ORDINANCE 03 -
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, TO AMEND THE ZONING
FROM M-1 (LIGHT MANUFACTURING) TO R-2 (TWO-
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT
603 31tD STREET (ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THIRD
STREET AND ARDMORE AVENUE) LEGALLY DESCRIBED
AS A PORTION OF LOTS 44, 45 & 46, WALTER RANSOM
CO'S VENABLE PLACE AND ADOPTION OF AN
ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby resolve and order as follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Susan Scott owner of real property at 603 3rd
Street seeking to amend the Zoning Map.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the application for a Zone Change on July 15, and August 19, 2003 at which testimony
and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning
Commission, and recommended approval of said zone change.
Section 3. The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on September 23,
2003, to consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the requested Zone
Change, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered
by the Council
Section 4. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, and the record of decision of
the Planning Commission, the City Council makes the following factual findings:
1. The requested change to R-2 will make the zoning for the subject property consistent with
the General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential.
2. Surrounding properties to the north, east and south are designated Medium Density
Residential on the General Plan and Zoned R-2, with the exception of one adjacent lot
immediately to the north which is not included in this request, which would remain M-1 zoned.
Properties to the west are designation Low Density Residential, and zoned R-1.
Section 5. Based on the foregoing factual findings, and the record of the decision of the
Planning Commission, the City Council makes the following findings pertaining to the Zone -
Change:
1. The Zone Change will bring the subject property into consistency with the Land Use
Map of the City's General Plan.
2. The subject property to be redesignated is appropriate for residential use as it is abutted
by residential uses and located in an area, which is predominantly residential in character. A
3

residential use of the subject properties will be more compatible to surrounding residential uses
than a potentially more intensive light manufacturing or commercial use. The residential use of
the property will provide property tax benefits and will not unduly strain city services.
3. The City Council concurs with the Planning Commission and the Staff Environmental
Review Committee's recommendation, based on their Environmental Assessment/Initial
Study, that this project will result in a less than significant impact on the environment, and
therefore qualifies for a Negative Declaration.
Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby amends the City's Official
Zoning Map as follows:
1. Amend the Zoning Map by changing the properties, as described below and shown on the
attached map, from M-1 (Light Manufacturing) to R-2 (Two -Family Residential):
603 Third Street, legally described as a portion of lots 44, 45, and 46 Walter Ransom Co's
Venable Place.
Section 7. This ordinance shall become effective and be in full force and effect from and
after thirty (30) days of its final passage and adoption.
Section 8. Prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date of its adoption, the
City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published in the Easy Reader, a weekly newspaper of
general circulation published and circulated, in the City of Hermosa Beach in the manner
provided by law.
Section 9. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance,
shall enter the same in the book of original ordinances of said city, and shall make minutes of the
passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council at which the
same is passed and adopted.

2, Two -Family Residential, or to such other zone as deemed appropriate by the
Planning Commission, Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan and Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map No. 27161 for a two -unit condominium, and adoption of an
Environmental Negative Declaration at 603 3rd Street (continued from July
15, 2003 meeting).
Staff Recommended Action: 1) To recommend approval of the Zone Change and adoption of the
Environmental Negative Declaration. 2) To approve said request for a two -unit condominium
proj ect.
Senior Planner Robertson stated that the Planning Commission had expressed support for the
proposed zone change because it would make the property consistent with the General Plan
designation of medium density residential; but added that the Planning Commission continued the
hearing because of concerns with the design and appearance of the condominium project as
depicted on the elevations and the rendering and directed the applicant to return with enhanced
building elevations and a rendering to clearly show the design intent. In response to the Planning
Commission's concerns, he advised that the applicant has obtained the assistance of a design
professional to complete the project plans; noted that the overall project layout and scope, including
the site plan and floor plans, have not changed but have been more fully developed and delineated;
and that the elevation plans have been enhanced pursuant to the Planning Commission's direction to
include more details that would allow the Planning Commission to make a more informed decision.
While the buildings still do not seem to represent any particular design style that's easily
recognized, he indicated that the plans do show more features to enhance the building, such as
contrasting stucco between the window trim and the face of the building, decorative wrought iron
treatments, stucco columns, a variety of window types, and concrete shingles; and stated that the
project plans are in compliance with the requirements of the R-2 Zone.
Senior Planner Robertson stated that there is one design issue to consider relating to the decks,
which provide the required open space between the two buildings, whether they can be considered
open space because they're open on two sides; advised that the applicant has modified the decks in
response to staff's concerns/discussions to provide a 36 -inch high wrought iron railing on the
outside of the decks to match the rest of the building; and noted that the 6 -foot barrier between the
two decks is probably acceptable for privacy reasons but should also be constructed of a material
compatible with the building. With these changes, he noted that the decks would at least be open
above the low rail on one side and above the 6 -foot wall on the other and would seem to be in
compliance with that particular section of the code. With these modifications, he stated that staff is
recommending approval of the proposed project.
Senior Planner Robertson noted for Commissioner Kersenboom that staff is now able to adequately
read the plans.
Chairman Hoffman opened the public hearing.
Leonard Fredrick, representing the applicant, stated that tile roof was incorporated into this project;
that various decorative fascia moldings, window trims, wrought iron treatments were incorporated
along with the use of different roof pitches on both units so that the look of the buildings would be

slightly different than each other. He pointed out that a large separation between the two units has
been maintained, which provides good light. With regard to the deck areas, he noted that the
applicant discussed with staff the need to have open area on the end, and therefore, the applicant
incorporated into the design a wrought iron railing, which makes the decks unobstructed and open.
Susan Scott, 603 3rd Street, applicant, thanked staff and the Planning Commission for its input on
the plans; stated that she procured the services of Mr. Fredrick to help bring the plans up to the
required standards.
Vice -Chairman Tucker addressed his concerns with the lack of privacy with the decks on the
ground floor; and suggested that the tile be brought all the way around to make the roof line match.
Mr. Fredrick noted that there is a 6 -foot fence between the two buildings.
Ms. Scott pointed out that there is a good amount of space between the two buildings, a much larger
open space area than one will find anywhere in that neighborhood; and stated that she would be
amenable to placing some decorative banding around the roof line to continue around the building.
Chairman Hoffman closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Perrotti expressed his belief that the deck issue is sufficiently addressed in the
proposed resolution; and stated that he would support the applicant's request.
Chairman Hoffman stated that he reviewed the discussion of this matter from the last meeting;
stated that this proposal brings this project into conformance with the General Plan; and expressed
his belief that the aesthetics can be improved.
MOTION by Commissioner Perrotti, seconded by Commissioner Pizer, to APPROVE ZON 03-1/CON

TO: Hermosa Beach Community Development Department/Planning Division
FROM: Ashley Beck/516 3" Street Hermosa Beach
REF: 603 3rd Street, Change from M-1 to R-2 Lots 44, 45, 46
DATE: 9.18.2003
In reference to the considered zone change for 603 3`d Street from M-1 to R-2, several
concerns arise surrounding the impact to our neighborhood.
1. Continued Multi Family R-2 HIGH IMPACT development against Planned R-1
LOW IMPACT streets (500 block of 3rd street and 500 Block of 4th Street.)
2. Increased traffic on Ardmore from HIGH IMPACT new town homes over the past
three years on Ardmore between 1' all the way to 3`d and new HIGH IMPACT
construction on Ardmore between 5th and 6th street as well.
3. Hermosa Beach is looking at property on a lot -by -lot basis and losing sight of the
community as a whole. Increased revenue from property tax verses keeping sight
of the problems from HIGH IMPACT housing i.e. Heart of the City Plan in
Redondo Beach and mitigation. South Hermosa is getting the blunt of the
punishment.
4. Our LOW IMPACT Street is surrounded by HUGE complexes on 2nd between
Ardmore and Valley as well as Valley bordering 2nd street and 2nd street between
Valley and Monterey. Too much congestion in too small an area.
5. Increased traffic as a whole on Ardmore from morning rush hour traffic
shortcutting down 1st and mostly 2nd street as a QUICK get -around to the traffic
congestion on PCH.
I personally will be attending the City Council Meeting on Sept 23, to have these
issued addressed.

Honorable Mayor and Members of

Regular Meeting of
September 23, 2003
RESULTS OF THE SURVEY OF PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE PROPOSED
UNDERGROUND ASSESSMENT DISTRICT, INCLUDING THE AREA ALONG
BEACH DRIVE FROM 24TH STREET TO THE NORTH SIDE OF 21ST STREET
AND WITH HERMOSA AVENUE AS THE EASTERN BOUNDARY.
Recommendation:
That the City Council review the survey results, which have been tabulated as of
Thursday, September 18, 2003, and provide direction to staff to either proceed with the
district formation process in accordance with standard procedure or abandon the district.
Background:
The City Council, at its meeting of August 12, 2003, heard from two property owners in
the proposed district and directed staff to suspend work on the engineer's report and
conduct a survey of the property owners to determine whether or not they were still
interested in the project. The work was stopped on the engineer's report on
August 13, 2003. The survey and related information was sent on August 21, 2003 with
a return date of September 15, 2003. The attached spreadsheet details the results of the
study. The results speak for themselves that this is now a very close issue as to whether
or not the assessment district will be formed. The assessment district process is quite
precise in terms of the steps and requirements that must be followed to proceed from step
to step. Based on the results of the survey, it would seem reasonable to complete the
engineer's report as it may have an impact on how property owners will vote on the
district once the exact cost is known for each parcel.
The program that staff was following prior to the survey was to complete the engineer's
report, mail the draft report to each property owner, have another meeting with property
owners to review the report before it was presented to the City Council for approval and
moving to the next step in the process that will end with the formal ballot vote that is
based on the assessment determined in the engineer's report. If the district is formed as a
result of the formal ballot, the assessments would be confirmed and construction
contracts would be let.

RE: Support for Beach Drive Underground Utility Project (the "Project")
Dear Steve,
I am the owner of the property located at 2140 The Strand. For your information, I am a
lawyer, CPA and investor in real estate. Over the last 20+ years, I have owned and operated
thousands of residential units in California, including many high-end family residencies.
Although I have already cast my vote in support of the Project, I am writing this letter to address
some issues which may be helpful for the City Council.
First and foremost, there is no question that the value enhancement to the properties that
will be affected by the Project greatly exceeds the cost to each homeowner, particularly since the
cost can be deferred at very favorable rates. Over the years, I have dealt with tens if not hundreds
of real estate professionals including brokers, appraisers, investors and the like. I can't imagine
any independent, experienced real estate professional who would vote no for the proposed
Project.
I have heard some neighbors say the value enhancement is irrelevant because they do not
plan on selling or refinancing their homes. I believe this statement is not the real reason for their
position (after all, don't you think they would pay $10,000 for a $250,000 rare diamond even if
they had no plans to sell it). I think the real reason for their position is that they want the City to
pay for the Project_
Well, guess what? Who doesn't? But as a practical matter, since the City is not going to
pay for it, should the result be for the homeowners in the Project to "shoot themselves in the
foot"? I don't think that is a wise decision. Further, if the City would pay for the Project,
wouldn't it also have to pay for the underground wiring for the whole City? I can't help but
wonder what the opponents to the Project would say if the City paid for all undergrounding but
started in the eastern part of the city so we on the Strand had the "joy" of paying taxes for others
but not get underground wiring for years thereafter_

As to convenience, of course the Project will be an inconvenience but in reality our
streets need rebuilding (to our inconvenience) anyway.
In conclusion, I strongly urge the City Council to do the right thing for the properties
affected as well as for the entire city and continue the process since the benefits far outweigh the
burdens. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and feel free to contact me with any
questions or comments.

Re: Building Code Board of Appeals
PAUL 02
WRITER'S EM AIL ADDRESS:
M) EN @LOCgLGOV LAW .COM
Dear Members of the City Council:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to the allegation made by Jack Janken that
City staff acted improperly by not advising the Council or him that his complaints about
the wall separating a portion of the properties at 627 and 633 Second Street could be
appealed to the Board of Appeals. I have carefully reviewed Mr. Janken's recent
submittals concerning this issue. In ray opinion, Mr. Janken misunderstands the role of
the Board of Appeals, and his contentions lack merit:
The background facts concerning the disputed wall are described and evaluated in
my letter to the Council dated June 20, 2002 and will not be repeated here. I have
reviewed that letter in light of Mr. Janken's recent correspondence to the City Council,
and believe it continues to be accurate. A copy of that letter is included in the September
23, 2003 regular meeting agenda packet for the Council's convenient review.
The existence of the Board of Appeals is no secret; indeed, the provisions
establishing the Board appear on the very first page of the chapter in the Municipal Code
that adopts the California Building Code, and the Board is included in the City's
organizational chart. As is indicated in the staff report prepared in connection with this
lnatter for the September 23 regular Council meeting, the Council periodically makes
appointments to the Board, and the Board meets from tirne to time when called upon to
address application of the Building Code to challenging design or construction situations.

A LAW PARTNERSHIP
Neither staff nor I believes that the Board of Appeals had jurisdiction over Mr.
Janken's complaint. The Board plays a role in implementing the Building Code, providing
review of the Building Official's permit decisions for construction projects. Mr. Janken's
complaint, on the other hand, was that a wall constructed by his neighbor was built
improperly; that is a typical code enforcement complaint and staff addressed it as such.
Specifically, appeals to the Board occur in the design or construction phase of a
project, where (1) either the architect or the contractor experience a problem complying
with the strict requirements of the Building Code due to difficult and unanticipated site
conditions or unorthodox designs, (2) the Code is ambiguous, or (3) the Building Official
declines to allow an exception where expressly permitted by the Code. The Board is
composed of construction professionals to enable its members to assist the Building
Official in devising technical solutions, where feasible, that satisfy the intent of the Code
and facilitate construction.
Mr. Janken's complaint involved a wooden wall built by his neighbor of less than
four feet in height, a wall that staff determined was exempt from the Code and did not
require a permit. Staff treated the matter as a code enforcement complaint, and after
exhaustive review (including a review by independent consultants) determined that the
wall was legal. Had staff concluded otherwise, it would have commenced a code
enforcement action and if necessary, directed the matter to the City Prosecutor. The
Prosecutor would then make an independent evaluation as to whether the violation could
be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The Board has no jurisdiction over code
enforcement and plays no role in this process; indeed, pursuant to Section 104 of the
Building Code, enforcement is the exclusive province of the Building Official.
In this instance, staff made a reasonable and well-documented determination that
the wall is legal. At no point in the process did the staff or I believe that staffs
determination not to pursue code enforcement against the owner of the wall was subject
to an appeal, either to the Board or to the Council. The matter was placed on a Council
agenda solely because Council asked to be briefed on the matter after its members
receivedextensive written submittals, telephone calls and visits from Mr. Janken in which
b.e persistently accused City staff of malfeasance.
In summary, I believe that Mr. Janken's latest allegations are unsubstantiated. In
particular, for the reasons stated above, there is no merit to the allegation that City staff
acted improperly or illegally in its processing of Mr. Janken's complaint, nor to the
contention that the legality of his neighbor's wall should have been addressed by the
Board of Appeals. I will be available during your meeting of September 23, 2003 in order

Honorable Mayor and Members of the
September 10, 2003
Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach City Council September 23, 2003
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF BOARD OF APPEALS
Recommendation:
That the City Council receive and file this report.
Background:
The City Council has requested that staff provide a description of the role of the City's Board of
Appeals generally and specifically in connection with a property wall between 627 and 633 2'" Street.
Analysis:
The City's Building Code is adopted every three years and is based on the uniform model codes
adopted by the California Building Standards Commission. The City is required to enforce the codes
adopted by the State with any amendments required for administration and local conditions. On
October 22, 2002, the City approved amendments to Chapter 15.40 of the Municipal Code adopting the
California Building Code, 2001 Edition (Part 2 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations)
("CBC"), which incorporates and amends the Uniform Building Code, 1997 Edition, published by the
International Conference of Building Officials, including appendices, excepting Chapters 3, Division
III and IV, 4 ,Division II, 11, 13, 21, 23, and 31 of said appendices. These codes comprise the
Building Code of the City of Hermosa Beach.
The Board of Appeals is a board established in the City's Building Code to hear appeals of notices and
orders of the building official relative to the application and interpretation of the code. Section 105.1
of the Building Code, set forth in Section 15.04.020 of the City's Municipal Code, establishes the
Board of Appeals, describes the composition of the Board and sets out the general procedures for
conducting business. The current membership of the Board is as follows: Dave Garrett, Larry Peha,
Mike Ludwig, Bill Lininger and Bud Murray. Four members are contractors and one is a design
professional. The board meets on an as -needed basis relative to applications for interpretations.
According to Section 105.1, the purpose of the Board of Appeals is to render decisions on interpretive
code matters exclusive of the administrative provisions found in Chapter 1. The Board may also hear
appeals relative to practical difficulties associated with underground utilities as provided in Sections
15.32.100 and 15.32.040.
Section 105.2 sets out the limitations of the jurisdiction and authority of the Board of Appeals as
follows:
The Board of Appeals shall have no authority relative to interpretation of the administrative
provisions of this code nor shall the board be empowered to waive requirements of this code.
The administrative provisions of the code (which are outside the purview of the Board) are contained
in Chapter 1, Administration, which sets forth the purpose of the code, authority, permitting, plan
requirements, inspections and enforcement. Further, the Board is only empowered to act on Building
6 b (,
•
Code related issues. If a matter is not subject to the requirement for a building permit and is not
regulated by the Code, then the matter does not fall within the jurisdiction of the Board.
The Handbook of the Uniform Building Code, prepared by the International Conference of Building
Officials, provides commentary on the intent of this Code section:
" The Uniform Building Code intends that the board of appeals have very limited authority.
This is to hear and decide appeals of orders and decisions of the building official relative to
application and interpretations of the code. Moreover, the code specifically limits the authority
of the board relative to the administrative provisions of the code and does not permit waivers of
code requirements. Any broader interpretation must be granted in the adoption ordinance by
modification to this section."
Therefore, in the absence of any broader provisions adopted in the Code, the Board is granted only the
authority to act on those interpretive matters expressly within its jurisdiction. These interpretive code
items include "exceptions," code sections that are not declarative (may vs. shall) and design issues
subject to interpretation such as what components may make up an egress system or whether one
design load factor may take precedence over another because of environmental issues.
Generally, appeals are taken to the Board by an architect or builder experiencing difficulties complying
with the building official's interpretation of the code in the design or construction of a structure. The
Board has no authority to engage in enforcement of the code, which is specifically delegated to the
building official in Chapter 1. (See Attachment No. 1).
Authority to Review Requirement for Building Permit for Property Line Wall
Chapter 1, administrative provisions of the code, includes requirements for issuance of permits and
lists work exempt from permits (Sections 106.1 and 106.2, respectively). Section 106.2 of the CBC
establishes when a building permit is and is not required prior to construction. Section 106.2 -Work
Exempt from Permit- provides that a building permit shall not be required for:
Retaining walls that are not over 4 feet in height measured from the bottom of the footing to the
top of the wall unless supporting a surcharge or impounding Class I, II or III liquids.
The subject wall is less than 4 feet in height from any point and is not supporting a surcharge (the
condition where a wall is holding back an additional load beyond the soil being retained). The area
immediately behind the wall is an unbuilt rear yard and there is no structure or load creating a
surcharge condition adjacent the wall. Since the small wood wall is less than 4 feet in height, it is
exempt from the requirement for a building permit pursuant to Section 106 of the UBC. Furthermore,
no grading permit is required because of the small quantity of soil placed against the wall to level the
area behind it and because of the location of the wall pursuant to Section 3306, which exempts work
from a grading permit where there is no danger to private or public property. ' A grading plan is not
required because the work is exempt from the requirements of a building permit and a grading permit.
The purpose of this exemption provision is to avoid undue regulation of a matter that has no bearing on
life -safety. The code recognizes that failure of such a wall is unlikely to cause death or injury and so
the code specifically exempts it from the requirements from permit regulations. This exemption
Z
• •
provision also stipulates that exempted work is not authorization for work to be done in a manner in
violation of the provisions of the code or any other laws and ordinances. This means that an owner is
still responsible for proper and safe construction for all work being done even when such work is
exempt from a permit according to the Handbook to the Uniform Building Code.2 In this case, the
owner has safely constructed his wall and complied with all other applicable laws and ordinances.
(See Attachment No. 2).
The conditions of the wall have been examined by a civil and two structural engineers, a contract
building official, and all of the City's inspection staff, who uniformly believe that the small wall
satisfies its intended purpose of retaining a small area approximately 2 '/2 feet in height by nine feet in
length and to control erosion. The wall affords an adequate check on erosion of the property at 633
2nd Street, and controls run-off. (See Attachment No. 3).
Therefore, the wall is not subject to permit regulations pursuant to Chapter 1 of the Building Code.
Staff did not give consideration to whether this issue should have been appealed to the Board of
Appeals, because that body has no jurisdiction over matters that are not regulated by the Building
Code. Because the wall is unequivocally exempt from permit requirements, the Code does not regulate
the wall in question. The board is only empowered to hear appeals of interpretations of the code related
to those items under its jurisdiction.
Meetings of the City's Board of Appeals
The City's Board of Appeals meets infrequently. Over the last ten years, the Board has generally met
to hear matters related to practical difficulties related to undergrounding utilities pursuant to Section
15.32.040. From 1989 to 1993 it met once and from 1993 to present it met nine times whenever an
appeal was made by a builder or owner. The waiver request was typically related to extraordinary
circumstances such as the difficulty of connecting to a distant lateral line or problems related to
encountering subterranean structures which complicate installing utilities underground. The
frequency of the City's Board meetings is similar to the experience in other cities. The table below
compares the interval between meetings of the Board of Appeal in adjacent cities and illustrates that
the frequency of meetings in Hermosa Beach is not highly unusual relative to other adjacent cities:

Conclusion:
The Board of Appeals plays an important but limited role in the design and building process when the
building official's interpretation of the substantive provisions of the Code pertaining to construction
requirements present design professionals and builders with practical difficulties. The Board does not
play a role with respect to construction that is exempt from the requirements of the code, nor with
respect to enforcement of the code against as -built structures. The role of the Board in this City is
consistent with its role in other jurisdictions.

Reference: Jack Janken
Dear Members of the City Council:
WRITER'S EMAILADDRESS:
M)ENKINSQa LOCALGOVLAW.COM
The purpose of this letter is to provide my evaluation of the contentions
raised by Jack Janken in his correspondence of April 22 and 25, 2002 in connection with
his property located at 627 Second Street.
Mr. Janken's contentions maybe summarized as follows:
1. The replacement of a retaining wall with a wooden wall approximately
twelve feet in length by the owner of 633 Second Street at the northerly rear property line
separating the two properties violates the Hermosa Beach Building Code;
2. City officials, notably the City Manager and the Community
Development Director have been unresponsive in addressing this allegedly illegal
condition and in providing requested documents;
3. The Community Development Director has intimidated his staff relative
to responding to docurnent and enforcement requests; and
4- City officials were insufficiently responsive in addressing Code violations
caused by construction at 228 Ardmore Avenue, allegedly causing damage to his sump
pump and depositing construction debris on his property.

In the course of my review of this matter, 1 have:
• examined the wall on the subject properties;
▪ reviewed Mr. Janken's letters of February 6, April 22 and April 25, 2002 and
attached exhibits;
• reviewed letters from. the City to Mr. Janken, including a letter from Bob
Rollins dated November 20, 2001, from Sol Blumenfeld dated January 31,
2002, and from Steve Burrell dated March 26 and April 17, 2002;
• interviewed Steve Burrell, Sol Blumenfeld, Charlie Swartz and Bob Rollins;
▪ reviewed relevant provisions of the Hermosa Beach Building Code;
▪ reviewed a letter from Hayer Consultants, Inc. dated March 5, 2002; and
examined photographs of wooden walls located throughout the City.
1 did not interview Mr. Janken, but instead have relied on his detailed and extensive
written comments to understand his contentions and concerns.
Each of Mr. Janken's contentions is addressed below. In sum, based on the
foregoing investigation, it is my conclusion that Mr. Janken's contentions are not
substantiated.'
Wall Between 633 and 627 Second Street
The history of the wall at the rear property line of the two properties is not
entirely clear. The plans for the condominium project at 633 Second Street (constructed
in the mid -1980's) indicate a series of curb walls (6-12 inches in height) and retaining
walls for all but the last ten feet of the property. A planter is shown on the plans in the
area of the rear ten feet. Mr. Janken contends that the owner of 633 removed a retaining
wall at this location; it is possible that such a wall existed at one time, likely prior to
construction of the condominiums, but unclear when it was removed and by whom.
' An effort to mediate the dispute between the two property owners through the South
Bay Center for Dispute Resolution failed.

There has been no retaining wall since at least the condominiums were built, a period of
approximately 17 years.'
More recently, I am informed that Mr. Janken removed the ivy covering a
wooden fence between the properties and the property to the north, resulting in collapse
of the fence. Removal of the fence revealed the condition between the properties, and
the potential of some sloughing of dirt from 633 onto Mr. Janken's property. Beginning
around November, 2001, Mr. Janken began to complain that the owner of 633 was
obligated to construct a concrete retaining wall between the properties. In response, the
owner of 633 regraded and leveled the area and constructed a wood retaining structure
(referred to in the correspondence as a "garden wall") and wooden fence to hold back any
such sloughing of dirt. The wooden wall is intended to serve the purpose of erosion
control.
Mr. Janken contends that the owner of 633 violated the Building Code by
grading without a grading permit. While it is true that a grading permit is required for
grading pursuant to Section 3306.1 of the Code, Section 3306.2 (1) exempts grading from
the permit requirement that occurs in an isolated, self-contained area if there is no danger
to private or public property. The City's Building Official determined that the grading
presented no danger to private or public property, and that no permit was required. He
further determined that because no building permit was required for the wood wall, the
entire project was exempt from the requirement to provide a grading plan. I am not in a
position to second guess the determination of the Building Official on a technical issue;
based on my review of the applicable Code sections and the documentary evidence,
however, this decision was not unreasonable and is supported by the evidence.
Mr. Janken further contends that the Building Code requires a concrete
retaining wall at this location. However, the Code only requires issuance of a building
permit and construction of a retaining wall if the wall is "surcharged" or greater than 48
inches in height. See Hermosa Beach Building Code, § 106.2(5). A "surcharge" is a
condition where the wall is holding back an additional load beyond the soil being
retained, and that is applying a force against the wall. .1 am informed that the wall in
question is less than 48 inches, and is not supporting an additional load, structure or a fill
slope. The grade differential between the properties at this location is approximately 24-
27 inches. Under these factual circumstances, the Code does not require issuance of a
2 Mr. Janken contends that the owner of 633 removed a wall located on Janken's
property. The City has not evaluated this claim nor does it adjudicate property line disputes
between neighbors.

building permit for the wood wall, or construction of a concrete block retaining wall.
The wooden wall has been examined by:
Sol Blumenfeld, Community Development Director
• Charlie Swartz, senior building inspector
• Art Rayburn, building inspector
▪ Dev Singh, and Dave Hayer and Jensen Ku of Hayer Consultants, Inc., civil
structural engineers
All have concluded that the wooden wall complies with and does not violate the Building
Code, and that the condition does not pose a threat to Mr. Janken's property. A letter to
that effect from Hayer Consultants Inc. is attached. In my view, this conclusion is not
unreasonable and is supported by the evidence.
Finally, staff has provided me with copies of photographs of wooden walls
serving a similar purpose throughout the City. I am advised that the City uses treated
lumber, timber, railroad ties, cribbing, rip rap and wooden walls as an alternative to
masonry retaining walls in parks and the City's greenbelt when appropriate.
Responsiveness of City Staff
Mr. Janken contends that various City staff did not respond adequately or
promptly to his requests for enforcement of the Building Code and to produce documents.
He has referred to various conversations in. which he feels that staff has been
uncooperative.
My review of this matter did not extend to evaluating the merits of Mr.
Janken's contentions as to each and every conversation he has had with City staff that he
has found to be objectionable. Based on my review, I have no doubt that Mr. Janken has
felt frustrated in his contacts with various City stafif. Clearly he does not believe that City
staff, from the City Manager down, have given this matter the level of attention it
deserves, and have not enforced the Building Code in a manner consistent with his
interpretation. And, it does appear true that there have been minor delays in producing
copies of documents and Code sections he has requested.

However, it is also clear that the City Manager, the Community
Development Director, the City's Code Enforcement Officer and Building Inspector have
devoted a considerable number of hours to conversations with Mr. Janken, visits to the
site, review of documents, preparation of letters and responses to inquiries from
Councilmembers. All of those individuals report that they have tried mightily to satisfy
Mr. Janken's requests. It is my overall impression that the City's response to Mr. Janken's
requests has not been improper or below standard, that Mr. Janken has received an
extraordinary amount of staff attention, and that Mr. Janken is dissatisfied primarily
because staff does not agree with his interpretation of the Building Code and has declined
to take the enforcement action he has requested.
Intimidation of City Staff
Mr. Janken contends that certain members of the staff have been
intimidated or threatened by senior management in connection with responding to his
concerns. He contends that they have been pressured not to provide him with
information. 1 have interviewed the individuals involved and find the allegation entirely
without merit. The staff members with whom I spoke were emphatic that they have not
been subjected to any undue pressure or coercion from senior City officials, and have, in
fact, done their best to provide Mr. Janken with all of the information he has requested.
Construction at 2.28 Ardmore Avenue
Mr. Janken contends that the residential construction at 228 Ardmore
Avenue was designed and/or graded in such a way as to drain on to his property. He
further contends that such drainage caused damage to his sump pump.
Mr. Janken's original complaint was investigated by code enforcement staff.
Upon review of the property and consultation with the developer, a drainage swale was
constructed to alleviate any potential problem_ During the period of time this matter was
under review, there was no rain and no observable drainage of any material onto Mr.
Janken's property. The City's code enforcement officer did not observe any damage to
Mr. Janken's sump pump or soil discharge on to Mr. Janken's property. The code
enforcement officer visited the site on at least a dozen occasions to assure that Mr.
Janken's concerns were addressed.
Mr. Janken refers to several conversations with City officials in which he
feels that he was provided with inconsistent information regarding this matter. Again, my
investigation did not extend to dissecting each and every conversation. At bottom, the

evidence shows that the concern about potential drainage problems was timely addressed
by the developer of 228 Ardmore.
Conclusion
In conclusion, based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that Mr. Janken's
allegations are unsubstantiated and do not merit any additional consideration or action.
However, should the Council so direct after its review of this matter at your regular
meeting of June 25, 2002, I would be pleased to conduct any further investigation or
review you may find necessary or appropriate.

Subject: Visual inspection of the retaining structure
Address: 627 21d Street, Hermosa Beach
Date: March 5, 2002
Inspector: Jensen Ku S.B.
PAGE Lid
Inspection: The inspection was performed in the company of Mr. Sol Blumenfeld
of the City of Hermosa Beach and Mr. Dave Hayer of the Hayer
Consultants.
Finding: The portion of retaining structure under the inspection was located at
the rear of the lot at above said address. The grade in question is
approximately 2' above the adjacent neighboring property and is
currently supported by a shoring system made of treated board and
direct embedded treaded wood posts. The retaining structure was
visually inspected and seemed stable without visible deflection. The
grade difference was stable with the current retaining structure.
Permit: Since the site has less than 3' in earth retaining, a building permit is
not required per the California Building section 106.2 as long as the
grade and the retaining structure is safe and stable.
Opinion: The board and post retaining system will allow the water to seepage
through without severe water pressure behind the earth retaining
structure. The current retaining structure is easy to maintain and to
repair if ever needed.

Subject: Property line wall drainage between 633 and 627 2°d Street
Dear Mr. Janken:
This letter responds to your request to investigate the drainage occurring at the property
line wall located between your property and your neighbor to the east. On June 11, 2003
I met Mr. Curdes, the owner of the adjacent property, to review your concerns and
investigate your complaint about water draining onto your property from his property. I
observed that he had sloped his rear yard to drain greater than 2% slope and that he had
installed an area drain in his rear yard approximately 10' to the east of the property line
wall. I asked him to show me how the drain worked. He turned on his garden hose and
let it run at the drain inlet. I observed that the water drained from the drain inlet at the
grade of his rear yard through a subterranean pipe to a drain outlet in his retaining wall
separating his driveway from his rear yard. The water then sheet flowed over the
driveway to an area drain approximately 25 feet to the south of the outlet where it then
was conveyed under the driveway to a pipe that drained to 2" d Street. I observed it for 10
minutes and saw that it effectively drained. (Please see attached photos.)
I then asked Mr. Curdes to place his hose near the wall and it turn it on to saturate the
ground. He left the hose on for 20 minutes while I inspected the area around the wall. I
observed that the water drained by flowing along the slope of the grade in the rear yard
and entered the area drain inlet approximately 10 feet away. After 20 minutes the water
also seeped slightly through the property line wall which would be expected as the hose
was turned on at the wall. I observed that this small amount of drainage was not enough
to disturb the soil on your side of the property, but it had clearly seeped through the
property line wall. The amount of water applied to the soil immediately by the wall was
approximately 2 '/2" in a 20 minute period. 2 'h" of water in 20 minutes equates to 7.5"
per hour which would be an extraordinary rainfall according to the City Engineer. Based
on my observations I find the following regarding the drainage issue and the property line
wall:
• •
Page Two
1. The property line wall is still in place and appears stable.
2. A surface drain and drain line has been installed which conveys water from the
backyard grade to the driveway and to 2nd Street.
3. Some water is seeping through the property line wall from the property at 633 2nd
Street when the ground is wet.
4. The amount of water seeping though the property line wall is not extraordinary.
5. The City's engineering report of March 5, 2002 accurately describes the conditions of
the wall as permitting seepage to relieve water pressure in the soil behind the wall.
6. An area on your side of the property line wall appears to have been dug out or graded
which does not appear to have resulted from the small amount of water seeping
through the wall.
I will continue to monitor the conditions of the wall periodically to determine if they
change. During my investigation, your neighbor proposed to install a concrete footing of
approximately 14" at the base of the property line wall. This may further help with the
wall longevity. If you would like him to proceed with installing the concrete footing,
please advise me as he will need to make arrangements with you for temporary access to
your property.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING A STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE
TO REQUIRE VOTER APPROVAL BEFORE STATE GOVERNMENT MAY

Recommendation:
That the City Council adopt the attached resolution supporting a statewide initiative to
protect local government funds.
Background:
The attached resolution and related information was briefly discussed at the last meeting
as Mayor Keegan was reporting on the activities at the League of California Cities
conference in Sacramento.
The resolution supports placing an initiative on the November 2004 statewide ballot. The
ballot initiative would simply do two things:
1. Public Vote Required
2. Reimburse for Mandated Costs

LOCAL GOVERNMENT BALLOT INITIATIVE AN OVERVIEW
November 2004 Election
State -Local Fiscal System Broken. There is widespread agreement that the state -local fiscal relationship is broken. One
of the reasons is because state leaders no longer respect the difference between state and local tax revenues. In recent
years, the state legislature and govemor have approved laws that divert, use or delay the payment of local tax revenues
to local govemments that finance public safety, public health, park, library, street maintenance and other vital community
services. This has caused pressure for higher local fees that can increase the cost of housing.
Local Funds Drained for Higher State Spending. Since 1991 more than $30 billion of local property taxes have been
drained from local govemments. The state has used these funds to finance its constitutional funding obligation to public
education, allowing it to increase state general fund spending for other state programs. This has come at the expense of
vital local public safety and other services—costing cities alone more than $800 million this year—or $6.9 billion in lost
local property taxes over the last twelve years.
State Shifts Costs to Local Govemments. In recent years the state also has shifted costs for state-sponsored
programs and delayed constitutionally required reimbursements to local govemments for state mandated programs and
services. In the last two fiscal years, the state has "deferred" over $1 billion in constitutionally required reimbursements to
local govemments for mandated services and programs.
Constitutional Protection Needed Now. City and other local govemment leaders know that in the current state budget
crisis this problem will only get worse if something isn't done. As a result, the League and other local .govemment
associations have joined forces to sponsor a ballot initiative in November 2004 to put the voters in charge of whether local
tax dollars should be used to fund state services. It would not prevent structural reform of the fiscal system. It would
simply require that structural changes be planned collaboratively by state and local leaders and approved by the voters. It
would not raise taxes. It would not repeal laws the state has already passed. It would not require the retum of property
taken. It would do two simple things:
10•
Public Vote Required. Require approval by a majority of the electorate before a proposed state law may
take effect that appropriates, reallocates, redistributes, reduces or suspends the payment of local tax
revenues (sales, property and VLF) to cities, counties and special districts; and
Reimburse for Mandated Costs. Clarify that the state must reimburse local govemments for a new
mandated program or higher level of service and when revenues previously allocated to local
govemment are reallocated or redistributed to a state -created fund.
Consulting Team. Assisting the campaign are: Winner and Mandabach Campaigns (political consultants); Nielsen,
Merksamer (legal); and Fairbanks, Maslin, Maullin & Associates (survey research).
For More Information. Contact Chris McKenzie, 'Executive Director (916-658-8275); Mike Madrid, Public Affairs Director'
(916-658-8272); or Dwight Stenbakken, Legislative/Policy Director (916-658-8232).
How to Make A Contribution. The League has established a political action committee (CITIPAC—ID # 1254399) for
contributions to this initiative. For more information, contact 916-658-8273, email info@citipac.orq or go to

RESOLUTION NO. 02-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING A STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE TO REQUIRE
VOTER APPROVAL BEFORE STATE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE LOCAL TAX
FUNDS
WHEREAS, state government annually seizes over $800 million in city property tax funds (ERAF)
statewide, costing cities over $6.9 billion in lost revenues over the past 12 years and seriously reducing
resources available for local public safety and other services; and,
WHEREAS, in adopting the state budget this year the Legislature and Governor appropriated local vehicle
license fee backfill and redevelopment property tax funds that are needed to finance critical city services
such as public safety, parks, street maintenance, housing and economic development; and,
WHEREAS, the deficit financing plan in the state budget depends on a local property and sales tax swap
that leaves city services vulnerable if the state's economic condition fails to improve; and,
WHEREAS, the adopted state budget assumes an ongoing structural budget deficit of at least $8 billion,
putting city resources and services at risk in future years to additional state revenue raids; and,
WHEREAS, it is abundantly clear that state leaders will continue to use local tax funds to balance the state
budget unless the voters limit the power of the Legislature and Governor to do so; and,
WHEREAS, the voters of California are the best judges of whether local tax funds should be diverted,
confiscated, shifted or otherwise taken to finance an ever-expanding state government; and,

WHEREAS, the General Assembly of Voting Delegates of the League of California Cities at its September
10, 2003 meeting voted to sponsor a statewide ballot initiative to empower the voters to limit the ability of
state government to confiscate local tax funds to funds state government; and,
WHEREAS, the League has requested that cities offer support for a November 2004 ballot initiative that will
allow voters to decide whether state government may appropriate local tax funds to fund state government
operations and responsibilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach that the City
hereby expresses its strong support for a statewide ballot initiative to allow voters to decide whether local
tax funds may be taken, confiscated, shifted, diverted or otherwise used to fund state government
operations and responsibilities; and,
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the City Council and staff are authorized to provide impartial information
materials on the initiative as may be lawfully provided by the City's representatives. No public funds shall
be used to campaign for or against the initiative; and,
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the residents of the City are encouraged to become well informed on the
initiative and its possible impacts on the critical local services on which they rely; and,
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the City Clerk is hereby directed to send a copy to the Executive Director of
the League of California Cities.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 23rd day of September, 2003.

staging and sound alone usually costs the
city between $3,000 and $4,000, and so both -
Sigler and Burrell will examine the notion of
procuring sponsorship funds to pay for the
series of live music shows.
"We have someone right now who's very
interested in sponsorship and said he would -
like to bump it up to the next level, whatever
that means," said Burrell. "There's no real-.
son we can't start on this now for next sum-
mer in terms of looking for sponsorship."
Councilman J.R. Reviczky supported the
idea, but expressed a concern about expand-
ing an event, which embodies local atten
dance, and booking musical talent known to
draw questionable crowds.
"I think there's a threshold for everything R.
and it's possible to have too much of a good
thing," he said. "I think we. should add :on,
shows step by step rather than hosting 10"
shows next summer. If we do get involved
with some kind of big promoter, I still want -
to preserve the flavor of this event. I have'
concerns about advertising something like
this on the radio where it turns the event
from 3,000 people to 30,000 people attend
ing. I also have a concern with the kind of
music we have because certain kinds of
music attract a certain kind of crowd."
The commission will also take a closer
look at possibly increasing special events
fees for events that last more than two days
on the beach. It will also review the idea of
decreasing setup and tear -down days for
such events. Both the council and the com-
mission agreed to leave its offered programs
to senior citizens alone, but develop strate-
gies on how to better inform them about' the
resources available to them not only in Her-
mosa Beach, in surrounding areas like
Redondo Beach as well.
At the suggestion of Mayor Michael
Keegan, the commission will review provid-
ing Internet and computer training courses
to seniors. It will also look at increasing the
number of out-of-town excursions spon-
sored by the city's Community Resources
Department since they are so popular among
this age bracket.:. _..

Aloha Days
Surf Festival
comes to town
this weekend
by Whitney Youngs
The sights, sounds and smells of the
South Pacific will once again make their
way into Hermosa Beach this weekend for
the seventh annual Aloha Days Festival
and Surf Contest. The money raised from
the event will help fund new surfing ex-
hibits for the Hermosa Beach Historical
Society, which is now in the process of ex-
panding its museum.
"We still are focused on building a surf, j
museum," said event organizer Abel
Ybarra. "The purpose of this event is to
raise funds to build a surf museum in the
city of Hermosa .Beach. • We believe that a
surf museum would bring to our commu-
nity the recognition it well deserves, being
the surf capital of Southern California dur-
ing the 1960s and 1970s.• A Hermosa
Beach surf museum will preserve the
memory and accomplishments of the surf
community."
The two-day event, slated for Aug. 9
and 10, includes a Polynesian food court,
60 arts and crafts booths showcasing
clothing, surfing and skateboarding dis-
plays, and hand-crafted items. The event
will also feature live dancing and enter-
tainment on the beach just south of the
ceremony at 11:45 a.m. Saturday. The surf
band The Detonators will perform later
that day at 4:30 p.m.
ttawauan musician Randye_Chang will.
kick off Sunday's live' entert004 ;0...th
a' performance at noon followed by Nua-
lani's Polynesian dancers at 1 p.m.
"This year's program will bring danc-
ing from the Pacific islands," added
Ybarra. "The event will feature the cul-
tures of Polynesia, Hawaii, Tahiti, New
Zealand and Samoa along with hula
lessons and surf bands."
The annual event has already raised an
estimated $10,000 that will partially sup-
port the Historical Society's effort to fea-
ture the city's rich surfing history.
Hermosa Beach residents Abel and
Corrine Ybarra oversee the event and ex-
pect about 8,000 people to attend.
, This year's attair is dedicated to the
famed South Bay .surfer and Hermosa
Beach native Dru Harrison, who died on
the island of Hawaii in February at the age
of 52. He spent the last 20 years living on
the big island. Organizers have planned a
memorial paddle -out Sunday at 2 p.m.,
following the final round in the surfing
contest.
"Not only was Dru an excellent surfer,
he was also a top wrestler and state quali-
fier at Mira Costa High School," said
Ybarra. "In the mid-1960s, Dru was rated
No. 1 in the boys' division in the United
States Surfing Association. He won the
first Pro Surfing Championship in 1968 at
(Please turn to next page)
Hermosa's Aloha
(Continued from previous page)
Swami's Beach in Encinitas, Calif., and then
went on to win the Smirnoff Pro Surfing
Championship in Santa Cruz, Calif., making
him the sport's first pro champion. Dru ac-
complished much more after that and made
his mark in the world of surfing."
Ybarra expects to raise approximately
$2,000 to $3,000 from this year's event.
Aloha Days and its committeeare a nonprofit
entity, so city officials waived the event fees
related to advertisement banners, city per-
mits, event staffing and police services.
"The Aloha Days' committee is dedi-
cated to reuniting the surfing community,"
explained Ybarra. "We want to provide a
positive competitive spirit, and teach the
youth of our community to respect and love
the sport of surfing while encouraging fam-
ays\Festival
ily participation."
The opening ceremony will begin on the
south side of the pier at 11:45 a.m. Saturday,
Aug. 9, while the vendors will open their
booths earlier that day at 9 a.m. and will
close down at 5 p.m. The event's surf contest
starts at 7 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday and
ends at 3 p.m. For more information, visit
www.alohadays.org.
Those interested in donating surfing
memorabilia such as surfboards, skate-
boards, photographs or clothing to the
Historical Society's new space may call'
Ybarra at 374-6191.
Those interested in contributing to the ef-
fort to buy new display cases, building mate-
rials or museum items may make a donation
to the Hermosa Beach Historical Society,

Surfers from around Southern California took to the water
Hermosa Beach last weekend for the eighth annual Aloha
ys Surf Festival and longboards ruled. This year marked the
.t time in the history of the event where all the competitors
:d longboards.
"We've decided that the root of surfing is longboard," said
mpetition director John Joseph. "We're growing in numbers
J so we've decided to limit it to just longboards."
The quality of waves in the South Bay during the summer
o contributed to the decision.
"This type of surf that we have today is not conducive to
irtboard surfing or bodyboard surfing and this is what long-
arding is about — when it's small — and so that makes a lot
we sense to ride a longboard only out here," said Joseph.
In previous years, surfers could also compete in shortboard
d there was -a bodyboard division as well, but the new
tinges have not deterred the number of competitors. This
ar 143 men, women, Goys and girls got into the action
;turday. The field was then narrowed down for Sunday's
,als.
"You can't get on a shortboard with these 1- to 2 -foot
aves and do much," said Chris Bredesen Sr. of Redondo
each, who is a two-time winner. "Its nice to have the tradition
• the old days and the longboard. It's•nice to see all the young
ds, so many of them who enjoy the longboard, too, in the
!Hiner." •
While the participants were competitive by nature, it
'cored that fun and the chance to compete rated higher.
estival
"I tend to be very competitive, but when it comes to surfing,
I always tend to be a little more to go out there to have fun,"
said Shea Weber, son of surf .legend Dewey Weber. "I com-
peted in a lot of sports growing up and surfing was always the
one that I didn't have to compete real hard in. Winning is im-
portant to me and a lot of the kids on our team, but we really
stress to go out, have fun and be competitive.
Weber took fifth place in the 31 -to -44 age group.
"It's always a fun event," said Darryl Dickie, 57, of Man-
hattan Beach, who came in as a defending champion in the
Master's Division and had not lost in five years. "The wonder-
ful thing about surf contests in general and especially one that
is near your hometown is the fact that you get to hang out with
everybody from the youngest to the oldest. It's one of the fabu-
lous things about surf contests. It's a family -type event."
On Sunday, Dickie went on to win his division for the sixth
year in a row.
"It feels good," Dickie said. "It always feels good to beat
my good buddy and rival Chris (Bredesen Sr.). It was really
close."
Overall, conditions over the weekend were perfect.
"We got a little west bump on it and the conditions are
smooth, got little peaks," Bredesen said. "We're kind of lucky
that this time of year normally Hermosa Pier is pretty small."
"I'm much more of a point break and a reef surfer by pref-
erence, but as long as it's warm and wet I'm up for anything,"
said Miranda Joseph, 40, who traveled up from La Jolla to
compete in the women's division. "The beach break is a lot of
fun today."

Aloha Days
(Continued from Page 32)
Joseph finished in fourth place.,
A large contingent from Orange County
made the trek up and even a few from' San
Diego County.
"We are extremely energetic about it, so
much so that we make it a mandatory com-
petition for all of our team members to
come here," said Weber, who now resides
in San Clemente. "This is where I grew..up.
It's where my dad spent his whole life. We
love this place. He loves this place. It's,re-
ally important and fun for us to come back
and be a part of this great event."
"Fortunately with longboards, you don't
need anything special or spectacular,"
Weber added. "It's always nice, but there's
enough out. here today to make the event
fun and contestable. It's amazing to watch
some of these guys on the longboards, even
in the smaller surf. They are just doing "
amazing things these days, especially:the .
young kids."
Tara Franz, a 10 -year-old up-and-comer
in the surfing ranks and a member of the
Dewey Weber surfing team,'was."pumped''
about the competition. Franz, from Dana
Point, started competing at the age of 4 and
was a winner last year.
"It's a blast. I'm having a lot of fun
here," said Chandee Corwin, 35, of San
Clemente. Corwin's daughter, Chelsie,' is
also a member of the Weber surf team.;She..
decided at the last minute to join the action,:
herself.
"They're all doing it so I just decideTto,
jump in.
Corwin, who has been surfing for five`
years, said her daughter actually gives here;
pointers. -
Chelsie Corwin finished in fifth place.
Also competing was Jackie Koch, 19,
from El Palmar, Panama. She finished in
sixth place.
"Surfing against the other girls is great.
They're amazing. They have a lot of style. I
feel very privileged to surf against them."
Koch, who attended high school in
Florida (Cocoa Beach), talked about what
she saw that was different in the California
surf.
"I have noticed a lot of drop -knee cut- .
•
backs that I love here. Almost every guy
whom I ever watched can do a drop -knee
cutback on the most critical section of the
wave. It's amazing."
Koch, who is spending the summer in
California, met Miranda Joseph and her
husband, Michael, in Panama this winter
and flew to the Golden State in May. She
came to Hermosa with the Josephs. "It was
a total last-minute thing. I didn't even know
what it was. I just showed up and I was
placed in the heats which was great."
Surfing was capped off Sunday with a
memorial to Mira Costa graduate and for-
mer Hermosa Beach resident Dru Harrison,
who died recently at the age of 54. Harr%
son was a two-time U.S. surfing champion
according to Joseph and won around a
dozen professional events in the 1960s and
1970s. He grew up at 14th Street and The
Strand. Harrison later moved to the Big
Island of Hawaii.
"If you had to take the top three or four.
surfers ever produced in the South Bay,'
Dru would be among that group along with:
Mike .Purpose and Dewey Weber," said
Joseph.
Harrison's family flew in from Hawaii
for the paddle -out. He and his wife had
three children, and he had three brothers.
His brothers were part of the proceedings.'
Dickey estimated the group to be at least
60 to 70 people; and said Hawaiian minis='._
ters, Hawaiian band and hula dance were
part of the surf paddle -out near the Her-.
mosa Pier. Harrison's brother spoke 'and..
another brother led in prayer. Then they
paddled around the older brother's outrig-
ger and then threw flowers into the ocean in
a ceremony that lasted 20 to 30 minutes.
"That was beautiful," said Dickey. "I've
known Dru for a long, long time. In fact,
when I surfed in the early Weber contest,
Dru came up to me after I had lost in the
first or second round and said, 'Boy,
Darryl, you surf really well, but you just
caught really poor waves.' That's when I
first realized that there was strategy in surf
contests and really, if it weren't for Dru, I
might not have been in the finals at all,
today or many other times."
He summed up the day and the passing
of another surf legend.
"What better way to say goodbye to a
great surfer and Dru was one of the best,"
said Dickey.

The Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for a four unit condominium
project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No.26742 at their June 18, 2002 meeting. The project
is currently under construction.
Process
Once a map has been tentatively approved by the Planning Commission, copies of the tentatively
approved map must be submitted to the L.A. County Engineer, who is contracted by the City, to
review the map for its technical correctness (pursuant to Section 62102(a)(4)of the Subdivision
Map Act).
An applicant has two years from the date of tentative map approval to submit for final map
approval. Typically applicants have not submitted for final map approval until projects are near
completion and ready to be sold.
Final maps must be submitted to the City Council and must be approved by the City Council,
"...if it conforms to all the requirements of [Subdivision Map Act] and any local subdivision
ordinance applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval of the tentative map and any
rulings made thereunder...." pursuant to Section 66458(a) of the Subdivision Map Act.
