Coming forward to address the Council on this item were: Patricia Morales — Hermosa Beach, said she lives next door to and is friends with the applicant, but the area has a shortage of parking and some people actually have rented garage space; said the applicant is an artist and needs to unload her car occasionally but the Police and the neighbors were lenient about double parking for unloading; said the applicant walks on the plaza and up the stairs to her second floor apartment and, without an 8 to 5 job, doesn't have to worry about parking at peak times; said it was important to draw the line about handicapped spaces on public streets in front of someone's home; submitted a petition signed by 18 neighbors opposed to the parking space and a diagram that she drew; Robert Currie — Hermosa Beach, on Monterey, said the neighborhood had run smoothly until this situation; said the applicant was a nice lady, but he did not think any person who regularly takes walks and climbs the stairs to an upstairs apartment needed a handicapped parking space; said the existing handicapped space on Monterey, at the corner by the real estate office, was easily accessible to the applicant; said he was eligible for a handicapped space himself; City Council Minutes 03-22-05 Page 11619 • 1 • Marilyn Boussaid — Hermosa Beach, read the letter she submitted, said a person with a disability should receive reasonable accommodation for an exception to the policy of one handicapped space per block; said her disability, which was well documented by medical professionals, is fibromyalgia, a incurable, muscular condition that causes fluctuating pain and weakness; said sometimes she can walk and other times she cannot and that she often spends most of the day resting; said she has been classified as permanently disabled by the Social Security Administration and has a handicapped placard from the Department of Motor Vehicles; cited Americans with Disabilities Act CFR 35130, which addresses reasonable modification of local laws and non- discrimination against individuals with disabilities; Ann Currie — Hermosa Beach, on Monterey, said the neighbor seeking the handicapped space should not be driving if she is not feeling well; said the applicant lives on the second floor and walks up her stairs; said the neighbors were not notified prior to the approval of the handicapped space requested by the neighbor at the corner, who has a garage, a driveway, and rides his bicycle every day; said her husband was eligible for a handicapped parking place because of his heart attack, as were several other people on the block; Andrea Pulcini — Hermosa Beach, said she was an advocate for disabled and also has a hidden handicap herself; said Marilyn's disability allowed her to walk once in a while and sometimes she just has to go out; said Marilyn will continue to walk up her stairs as long as she is able and that she tries to manage the best she can. Action: To approve the requested handicapped parking space on Monterey Boulevard, subject to applicant providing proof of permanent disability from the Social Security Administration. Motion Edgerton, second Mayor Reviczky. The motion carried, noting the dissenting votes of Keegan and Yoon. Further Action: To refer the issue of handicapped spaces to the Public Works Commission, with direction to review all current handicapped parking spaces on residential public streets and establish a formal policy for granting these parking spaces, taking into consideration such factors as whether the applicant has a garage and/or driveway; the possible requirement for Social Security Administration documentation of permanent disability, and a specific period of time for review of the continued need for a handicapped space at each location, along with consideration for dealing with temporary disabilities. Motion Mayor Reviczky, second Edgerton. The motion carried by a unanimous vote. b. PLANNING COMMISSION MEMORANDUM ON CUP AND CODE ENFORCEMENT FOR PIER PLAZA DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES.

Coming forward to address the Council on this item were: John Bowler — Hermosa Beach, said he assembles the e -newsletter but there was no real creation on his part, as articles were written by City staff and most information was already available on the City's website; explained that a staff member sends notices to all department heads asking if they have anything for the e -newsletter, giving a deadline, and then forwards the information to him; said Hermosa Beach is one of the first cities to have an e -newsletter but others have recently expressed interest; assured the Council that the two-part signup process eliminated the possibility of someone signing up another person to receive the newsletter without their knowledge or permission; said most residents do not know about the e -newsletter yet, but he was printing a brochure at his cost to publicize it and hoped to have about 2,000 subscribers soon; suggested including a survey in the next issue to ask the subscribers their opinion of the newsletter, noting that residents could be polled that way for other issues as well; said the Community Resources Department indicated an increased level of participation in their programs, since the e -newsletter facilitates signing up for classes or events; Gene Dreher — Hermosa Beach, said as a member of the- City's Cable TV Commission, he learned that it is important to find out the preferences and feelings of the populace; agreed with the use of the e -newsletter to survey residents, noting that the cost of a traditional mailer to ascertain this information would be much more expensive than the monthly cost of the e -newsletter; said there would be no better way to determine the opinion of the residents for other purposes, not in a political sense, but just as good City management; and Roger Creighton — Hermosa Beach, cautioned the Council about polls of this type, citing the fact that some businesses have instructed their employees to participate in the Easy Reader polls that annually designate the best of each type of business.

Roll Call Present: Commissioners Beste, DiVirgilio, Lombardo, Marinelli, Winnek Also Present: Richard Morgan, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Ennis Jackson, Administrative Review Officer Ray Abassi, Contract Traffic Engineer Rhea Punneo Administrative Assistant, Public Works Department Absent: 2. Flag Salute None Commissioner Beste led the flag salute. 3. Approval of Minutes: February 16, 2005 4. Public Comment Mr. Guido Walter came forward with a request to discuss parking problems on 3rd Street. Mr. Morgan accepted Mr. Walter's paperwork and advised he will review the information and follow-up with Mr. Walter by telephone. Mr. Morgan emphasized the critical need for parking and noted that he'll bring the item back to the Commission for review. 5. Correspondence None 6. Items for Commission Consideration Please note that while items were presented out of order, they are presented in order for clarity. a. Request for Exemption from Sidewalk Requirement for Ave Avenue At this time Commissioner Winnek recused himself and joined the audience, as he is a resident of Ave Avenue. Mr. Morgan presented the item, noting that a letter had been received from Ms. Julie Oakes requesting that Ave Ave. the 17' setback from back of sidewalk be waived along and that the property owners be exempted from the sidewalk completely. A petition containing signatures of 25 Ardmore/Ava/Springfield property owners accompanied the letter. The issues cited in Ms. Oakes' letter included the cost of putting the sidewalk in addition to the desire to have the 17' setback from back of curb rather than back of sidewalk — a difference of four to five feet. 2e • Mr. Morgan noted that he'd received a call from the owner of 2019 Springfield asking that Mr. Morgan report that the property owner is against exempting the street from the sidewalk requirement. He also noted that approximately 30% of the properties have sidewalk improvements at this time. Mr. Morgan advised that staff couldn't support this request because of safety concerns. He pointed out that if the street is exempted, all those with sidewalk improvements could ask for encroachment permits and remove the sidewalks. Discussion among the commissioners included the following: • Seventeen foot setback was clarified — is either from back of sidewalk or back of curb — can add four to five feet to available property. • There is not a lot of vehicular or pedestrian traffic on this street. Public comments highlighted the following: • The street is a dead end, not a cul-de-sac — there is no room to turn around. • Narrowness and dips keep speeds slow. • Less access than other streets in the area. • Financial aspects include having additional square footage to build on, taking money from pockets of the residents (resale value) and the City (taxes). • Ava is similar to the 13 streets that have been granted the exemption. Additional Commission discussion included: • Supporting the request would continue the unique, eclectic look of the City. • Actually appears to be an alley, family living on that alley would certainly exercise more caution when driving there. MOTION by Commissioner DiVirgilio to support the residents' request for the sidewalk exemption and direct staff to forward the request to City Council for approval. Seconded by Commissioner Lombardo. AYES: Beste, DiVirgilio, Lombardo, Marinelli NAYS: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None At this time Commissioner Winnek re -joined the commissioners on the dais. b. Red -Light Cameras Mr. Morgan presented Mr. Abassi, indicating that red-light cameras are an interesting option for reducing the number of times motorists run red lights. Mr. Abassi's presentation highlighted the various uses of the cameras. Discussion highlighted the following: • All alternatives would be examined before installing • Some vendors may be willing to cover the cost of equipment, installation and maintenance in exchange for a percentage of the revenue • The cameras generally operate at a break-even point • Ability to enhance enforcement by allowing police to focus on other enforcement issues • Knowing some cameras are in place encourages drivers to stop at red lights even those without one • Would have to discuss with Sgt. Thompson/Police Department, Caltrans, etc. with regard to need and locations. • Need to identify hidden costs PWC Meeting 2 3/23/05 • i The Commission determined that they need more information to decide whether or not to send on to the City Council. They asked that the subject be brought back with a more detailed report c. Redline on 15th Place Mr. Morgan presented the report, indicating staff received complaints over a period of time. He noted that 15th Place is a narrow street without curb and no parking allowed on the south side. He noted that a private parking spot had been created in the encroachment area of 930 15th Place, out of the way of travel. Mr. Morgan advised that ticketing a parked car that extends into the roadway is difficult when there's no clear- cut indication of the edge of pavement. In response to the complaints and in an effort to assist Parking Enforcement, staff began painting redline on 15th Place, as has been done in similar instances. Residents called, complaining that two of the driveways were not part of the problem and should not have been redlined; work was halted until the situation could be reviewed. Residents submitted a letter and petition saying they believed a public hearing should have taken place prior to painting — staff receives many similar requests for red paint application, reviews each situation and performs the work without public hearings. Painting redlines of this nature are usually complaint -driven. Mr. Morgan then presented Ennis Jackson, Administrative Review Officer, who advised that when there is no clear avenue to determine a violation, the redline aids officers. There is a violation when the rear wheels extend beyond the red line. If only a black topped area, it is a judgment for the officers — without clear demarcation, can't enforce. Red line makes a clear statement. Public comments included the following highlights: • Resident felt that if no one had called, there'd be 400' of red paint down the street. • Property owners developed that spot, giving up lawn in the process. • The redline would create a negative impact on the area. • Neighbor regularly uses this spot with the owner's permission. • If taken away, leaves one more car in the street. • Twelve of the 19 properties in the immediate area are represented on the petition. • Did just one resident and his inconvenience cause this? • If not permitted to park there, there will be one more car parking on the street. • Some feel should be a neighborhood issue, not a Commission issue. • One resident couldn't leave his garage since had no notice of intended painting. • Red paint is an eyesore. • Please respect the residents' wishes. • A much smaller vehicle has replaced the originally offending vehicle. Discussion among the commissioners highlighted the following: • In favor of redline removal but exception taken to negative comments about Public Works Staff. • While redline is preferred, if black only, black top can be used to technically determine a violation. • Without redline, violation determination is up to the discretion of the officer —redline is an enforcement tool. MOTION by Commissioner Winnek to remove the red striping and ignore the written petition. Seconded by Commissioner Beste. AYES: Beste, DiVirgilio, Lombardo, Marinelli, Winnek NAYS: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None PWC Meeting 3 3/23/05 • 7. Commissioners' Reports No reports were presented. 8. Public Works Department Reports No questions or comments. 9. Items Requested by Commissioners No reports were presented. 10. Other Matters Commissioner Marinelli thanked the commissioners for postponing the meeting one week to accommodate his work schedule. 11. Public Comment None. 12. Adjournment Commissioner Winnek adjourned the meeting at 8:36 p.m. to the meeting of April 20, 2005. CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing minutes are a true and complete record of the action taken by the Public Works Commission of Hermosa Beach at the regularly scheduled meeting of March 23, 2005. Rob Beste, Chairman Richard D. Morgan, P.E., Secretary Date PWC Meeting 4 3/23/05 • April 5, 2005 • Y /)'/6-5 For City Council eeting of April 12, 2005 Approval of Revised Classification Specification for Fire Captain Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council approve the class specification for Fire Captain. Background The current classification specification for Fire Captain has not been reviewed since 1990. In preparation for an upcoming promotional examination staff has reviewed the specification and is recommending only two minor changes as detailed below. Analysis There are two minor changes proposed to the classification specification for Fire Captain. First, the educational requirement was modified to include courses in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as specific qualifying educational experience. A considerable amount of the department's time is spent responding to medical aid calls and in training related to these services. The second change is in the number of years of fire fighting experience required. The Fire Department believes four years of experience is adequate instead of the current five years. Staff has surveyed the experience requirements of the other cities. The cities of Long Beach, El Segundo, Torrance, and Redondo Beach also require four years of fire fighting experience to be eligible for Fire Captain. Manhattan Beach requires five years. As this is not a material change and is consistent with other cities requirements, the change is recommended. - The Civil Service Board reviewed and approved the class specification at their meeting of Wednesday, March 16, 2005. Following approval by the City Council, the Personnel Department will conduct a promotional exam in accordance with the established Civil Service Rules and Regulations.

Discussion: The Landscaping and Street Lighting District provides for the' maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within street medians and parkways. The Landscaping and Street Lighting District must be renewed annually. Based on the advice of the City Attorney, the City can continue to levy assessments to pay for the maintenance and operation of streetlights, street medians and parkway landscaping without complying with the balloting requirements of Proposition 218 so long as the assessments are not increased. On March 8, 2005, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Harris & Associates to provide assessment -engineering services to amend this District to allow an increase in the assessment up to $10 per year for FY 2005-06. Staff anticipates that the balloting process will be completed by February 2006. Approving the resolution is necessary to maintain the existing District. In approving the attached Resolution, the City Council authorizes the preparation of a report, which will contain plans, specifications, costs and estimated assessments for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District. As required, the following steps must be taken for the levy and collection of assessments for fiscal year 2005 - 2006 within the City's Landscaping and Street Lighting District: 1. The Director of Public Works files with the City Clerk the report consisting of, among other things, the map and the assessments. • 2.

Summary: The Los Angeles County Water Resources Department proposes to install a telemetry system to provide data monitoring of the existing seawater barrier injection wells system. This will provide information regarding ground water levels and water injection rates to better manage and control the system. The project will connect all of the wells throughout Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach. Conduit will be installed within the public right-of-way from Redondo Beach heading north along Prospect Drive to west on 9th Street; then north on Ocean Avenue to west on 15th Street; then north on PCH to west on 16th Street; then north along the Greenbelt continuing into Manhattan Beach. The system requires three aboveground electrical cabinets (45" H x 33'W x 20"D) to be installed in Hermosa Beach. These cabinets have been carefully located to minimize concerns from the residents (see attached photos). One cabinet is located in the parkway grass area on the west side of Prospect Avenue, approximately 50 -feet north of 3`d Street. Another is located on the west side of Ocean Avenue approximately 50 -feet south of Aviation Boulevard, adjacent to a commercial building. The last one is located within the Greenbelt in the County's access ramp across from Valley Drive at 21st Street. Chapter 17.32 (O -S-1 Restricted Open Space) of the City's Municipal Code specifically permits , the installation of a structure in the Greenbelt "relating to anti -seawater intrusion wells". This project is presently out to bid and scheduled for construction this spring. Notification to all affected residents will be required prior to construction.

Sheinbein Honorable Mayor and Members of The Hermosa Beach City Council • V - v � `0a/05 April 4, 2005 Regular Meeting of April 12, 2005 GENERAL SERVICES BUILDING MOLD REMEDIATION Recommendations: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize securing the services of Building Cleaning Services of Glendale, California to continue the mold remediation at the General Services Building in the amount of $9,625; 2. Authorize the transfer of $11,625 from Prospective Expenditures; 3. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the contract subject to approval by the City Attorney; and 4. Authorize the Director of Public Works to make minor changes as necessary within the contingency amount of $2,000. Summary: AEI Consultants were retained by the City of Hermosa Beach to conduct a mold survey of the General Services Building located at 1035 Valley Drive. AEI Consultants visually inspected the subject property in addition to collecting moisture readings, air samples and physical samples throughout the building. The tape -lift sample collected from the interior walls identified multiple genera of mold, including Stachybotrys. The presence of Stachybotrys is particularly significant due to its ability to produce mycotoxins. Although most molds produce mycotoxins, those produced by Stachybotrys are extremely toxic, are suspected carcinogens, and are immono-suppressives. AEI Consultants recommend that a licensed remediation contractor remove, under containment, the affected interior dry wall and the structural members of all interior dry wall. Building Cleaning Services was hired by the City to provide complete mold remediation for various locations in the General Services Building for a total cost of $4,055. During remediation and exposure of additional structural members of the interior walls, more mold damage outside of the original scope of the proposal was discovered. The presence of mold was found in the ceiling, walls from floor to ceiling, behind window frames and cabinets. This work includes removal of wall material from floor to ceiling, including the wall frame, two layers of ceiling material and cabinetry for the additional amount of $9,625. 21 • • Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the award for the additional mold remediation in the General Services Building to prepare the building for remodeling and occupation as soon as possible. Fiscal Impact: The initial mold remediation was charged to the General Fund, through the Building Maintenance Division, for a total of $4,055. A transfer of $11,625 is necessary to complete the mold removal from the General Services Building.

Background: On March 23, 2005, the Public Works Commission considered a petition from residents on Ava Avenue requesting that their street be exempt from requiring the construction of a sidewalk during a rebuild or remodel of private property. Below is a list of the reasons why they want the exemption: • Ava Avenue is a dead-end street with very low traffic volumes and low speeds. • Properties fronting on Ave Avenue also have frontage on Ardmore Avenue or Springfield Avenue, both of which have nearly continuous sidewalks. They therefore consider Ave Avenue more like an alley with very little pedestrian traffic. • Lot sizes are very small and exempting sidewalk will allow garage setbacks to 17 feet from the back of curb in lieu of back of sidewalk, which adds build -able square footage. The Public Works Commission received public comment and voted unanimously in support the residents' request for the sidewalk exemption. Fiscal Impact: None. Attachments: 1.

Recently, a number of neighbors have expressed an interest in remodeling their homes and have some problems with two of the requirements: 1. Requiring a seventeen foot setback from the back of sidewalk on Ave. 2. Requiring sidewalks at all. The residences of Ave Avenue believe that the street is a wonderful place to gather for our families. We are a small dead end street with large drainage dips that preclude anyone from being able to go very fast down our street. The street was never improved with proper and legal turning requirements of a cul de sac or "T" at the end of the street. Many of the homes do not have sidewalks and most of the homes front onto Springfield Avenue or Ardmore, leaving Ave almost like a large alley. Many of the homes have the seventeen feet, but only from back of curb. Many with to remodel their homes and these families do not wish to scrape the lot, so the seventeen feet is important to be required from the back of curb, not sidewalk. All homes on Ave Avenue also front on either Springfield or Ardmore. Both Springfield and Ardmore have improved public right of ways, with sidewalks, aprons, curbs, etc. And Springfield has the improved cul de sac. All of the homes that are on Ave, are fronting also either on Springfield or Ardmore. • Therefore, every house on Ava has an improved street, sidewalk, etc. that abuts it. The most recently built residence was completed in 2002-2003 and was not required to provide sidewalks. We are asking that Ava Avenue be exempt from the requirements of providing a sidewalk and allowing the seventeen foot driveway setback to be measured from back of curb. We appreciate your time and look forward to discussing this with you and getting on with the process as quickly as possible. cc.: Wally Lee Steve Burrell PETITION TPNbT REQUIRE SIDEWALKSt AVA AVENUE October 15, 2004 We the undersigned, understand that any renovation or remodeling of our homes and structures on Ava Avenue will not trigger a requirement to provide sidewalks on Ava Avenue. We understand that we would still be required to provide curbs and gutters constructed to the specifications and approvals of the City of Hermosa Beach, and that the driveways and parking requirements would be measured from the back of curb on Ava Avenue, and not back of sidewalk.

Flag Salute None Commissioner Beste led the flag salute. 3. Approval of Minutes: February 16, 2005 4. Public Comment Mr. Guido Walter came forward with a request to discuss parking problems on 3rd Street. Mr. Morgan accepted Mr. Walter's paperwork and advised he will review the information and follow-up with Mr. Walter by telephone. Mr. Morgan emphasized the critical need for parking and noted that he'll bring the item back to the Commission for review. 5. Correspondence None 6. Items for Commission Consideration Please note that while items were presented out of order, they are presented in order for clarity. a. Request for Exemption from Sidewalk Requirement for Ave Avenue At this time Commissioner Winnek recused himself and joined the audience, as he is a resident of Ave Avenue. Mr. Morgan presented the item, noting that a letter had been received from Ms. Julie Oakes requesting that Ave Ave. the 17' setback from back of sidewalk be waived along and that the property owners be exempted from the sidewalk completely. A petition containing signatures of 25 Ardmore/Ava/Springfield property owners accompanied the letter. The issues cited in Ms. Oakes' letter included the cost of putting the sidewalk in addition to the desire to have the 17' setback from back of curb rather than back of sidewalk — a difference of four to five feet. Mr. Morgan noted that he d received a call from the owner of 2019 Springfield asking that Mr. Morgan report that the property owner is against exempting the street from the sidewalk requirement. He also noted that approximately 30% of the properties have sidewalk improvements at this time. Mr. Morgan advised that staff couldn't support this request because of safety concerns. He pointed out that if the street is exempted, all those with sidewalk improvements could ask for encroachment permits and remove the sidewalks. Discussion among the commissioners included the following: • Seventeen foot setback was clarified — is either from back of sidewalk or back of curb — can add four to five feet to available property. • There is not a lot of vehicular or pedestrian traffic on this street. Public comments highlighted the following: • The street is a dead end, not a cul-de-sac — there is no room to turn around. • Narrowness and dips keep speeds slow. • Less access than other streets in the area. • Financial aspects include having additional square footage to build on, taking money from pockets of the residents (resale value) and the City (taxes). • Ava is similar to.the 13 streets that have been granted the exemption. Additional Commission discussion included: • Supporting the request would continue the unique, eclectic look of the City. • Actually appears to be an alley, family living on that alley would certainly exercise more caution when driving there. MOTION by Commissioner DiVirgilio to support the residents' request for the sidewalk exemption and direct staff to forward the request to City Council for approval. Seconded by Commissioner Lombardo. AYES: Beste, DiVirgilio, Lombardo, Marinelli NAYS: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None At this time Commissioner Winnek re -joined the commissioners on the dais. b. Red -Light Cameras Mr. Morgan presented Mr. Abassi, indicating that red-light cameras are an interesting option for reducing the number of times motorists run red lights. Mr. Abassi's presentation highlighted the various uses of the cameras. Discussion highlighted the following: • All alternatives would be examined before installing • Some vendors may be willing to cover the cost of equipment, installation and maintenance in exchange for a percentage of the revenue • The cameras generally operate at a break-even point • Ability to enhance enforcement by allowing police to focus on other enforcement issues • Knowing some cameras are in place encourages drivers to stop at red lights even those without one • Would have to discuss with Sgt. Thompson/Police Department, Caltrans, etc. with regard to need and locations. • Need to identify hidden costs PWC Meeting 2 3/23/05 • RESOLUTION NO. 05- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, EXEMPTING AVA AVENUE, BETWEEN 21ST STREET AND ITS SOUTHERLY TERMINUS, FROM THE SIDEWALK REQUIREMENT OF SUBSECTION (b) OF SECTION 12.08.010 GENERAL REQUIREMENT OF CHAPTER 12.08 STREET, SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER CONSTRUCTION OF THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, intends to continue to improve the quality of life in the community, and Whereas, residents of Ava Avenue are requesting that the section between 21st St. and its southerly terminus, be exempt from requiring the construction of a sidewalk during a rebuild or remodel of private property, and Whereas, the residents want to preserve the current character of the neighborhood, and Whereas, the residents feel that retaining its natural, eclectic appearance can only enhance the neighborhood.

Background The Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for a two unit condominium project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No.060478 at their October 21, 2003 meeting.

Despitdin'tplementing many programs, the City's diversion rate had fallen from its previous high of 47% to 32% and the City was issued a compliance order by the California Integrated Waste Management Board in November 2004. On October 12, 2004 the City Council reviewed and approved several implementation programs to help the City achieve its diversion goals. Since that time, ETA. and CDS have been assisting the City In the preparation of a work plan, meeting with Board staff and assisting with the implementation programs as reported to City Council on March 8, 2005. The work plan was approved by the Board in January 2005. Analysis: Consolidated Disposal Service has been working with the City on new commercial recycling programs previously approved by City Council. These programs include a new commercial recycling toter program and a trash to transformation facility program.' CDS indicates that implementing the commercial recycling toter program will divert an estimated 900 tons of waste and increase commercial collection rates by 6.7%. This includes the cost of the 64 gallon toters distributed to commercial users and additional hauling of recycled materials. Implementation of a new commercial trash to transformation program will result in an additional average rate increase of 5.1% which equates to $30.00 per ton. Therefore the total rate increase for commercial accounts is 11.8%. The programs were outlined to the City Council in October and are described in the attached CDS correspondence. The proposed contract amendment involves a revision to Exhibit B, incorporating the additional commercial recycling programs approved by the State as part of the compliance order. Fiscal Impact: If the Consolidated Waste Management contract amendment is approved it will result in a total 11.8% rate increase for disposal services for commercial accounts. of Blumenfeld tor Community D elopment Dir Noted for Fiscal Impact: • Viki Copeland, Director Finance Department • Concur: Step urre , City ' anager Attachments: 1. CDS Amended Contract Exhibit B 2. CDS Correspondence. Notes 1. Automated Recycle Toters for Commercial Businesses The Automated Recycle Toters for Commercial Business program provides on average two 64 -gallon recycle toters for each commercial account. Businesses will source separate paper, cans, bottles, and flattened cardboard and place these materials into the toters for collection by the hauler. An estimated 900 tons will be diverted each year. The estimated cost increase to the commercial customers' rate is approximately 6.7%. The additional diversion tonnage costs are approximately $76 per ton diverted. Commercial Trash to Transformation Facility Under the Commercial Trash to Transformation Facility" program, approximately 1,719 tons per year of commercial trash will be sent to the Long Beach Waste -to -Energy Facility (SERRF) for incineration. This will result in all 100% of the 1,719 tons being credited as diversion to the City of Hermosa Beach., and represents approximately another 5% additional increase in the City's overall diversion rate. The estimated cost increase to the commercial customers' rate is approximately 5.1%. The additional diversion tonnage from this program costs are approximately $30 per ton diverted.

August, 2004 Mr. Steve Burrell City Manger City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3685 RE: Diversion Options and Cost Dear Mr.•Burrell; 1449 W. Rosecrans Avenue Gardena, CA 90249 Telephone (310) 527.6980 Facsimile (310) 527-2987 Thank you for meeting with Sophia Elias and Russell Dix on Thursday July 15, 2004. Per Dr. Eugene Tseng request, below you will find the following options and cost for additional diversion options as discussed. FULL COMMERCIAL MRF PROCESSING Full commercial loads delivered to a Material Recovery Facility will be 1,700 tons annually. Estimated percentage of diversion recovered will be 20%. The estimated cost to implement this program would increase the current commercial rates by 38.3%. 5% RESIDENTIAL TRASH TO TRANSFORMATION FACILITY Total residential trash delivered to a transformation facility will be 1,719 tons annually. 100% diversion of the waste taken to a transformation facility will be captured up and including to 10% of the generated waste throughout the entire City. The estimated cost to implement this program would increase the current commercial and residential rates by 2.7%. To implement this program for a commercial rate increase only, the estimated increase to the current commercial rates will be 5.1%. 10% RESIDENTIAL TRASH TO TRANSFORMATION FACILITY Total residential trash delivered to a transformation facility will be 3,438 tons annually. 100% diversion of waste taken to a transformation facility will be captured as the allowable 10% of waste generated throughout the entire City. The estimated cost to implement this program would increase the current commercial and residential rates by 5.4%. To implement this program for a commercial rate increase only, the estimated increase to the current commercial rates will be 10.1%. PARTIAL DRY ROUTE After a week of taking loads to a Material Recovery Facility, 88% of the loads were deemed trash (unrecoverable material). It would not be in the City's best interest to implement this program as it would ineffective for the money spent verses percentage diverted. If the City would like to look into this further the cost breakdown will be available. AUTOMATED RECYCLE TOTERS FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES Based on the Business License Report received by the City it has been estimated that there are currently 564 businesses in Hermosa Beach. On average each business will have two 64 gallon recycle toters delivered upon implementation of the program. The estimated tons captures on this program will be 900 tons annually. The estimated increase to the current commercial rates will be 6.7%. Steve, Consolidated Disposal Service looks forward to our continued partnership with the City of Hermosa Beach and in working together I am confident we .will meet these goals together. If you have any'question please feel free to contact me at 562-663-3532 Sincerely, Lew Glynn Gen- al Manager ii PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER • • October 6, 2004 Honorable Chairman and Members Regular Meeting of of the Hermosa Beach City Council October 12, 2004 SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF MEASURES TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH AB 939 WASTE DIVERSION MANDATE Recommendation: That the City Council: 1. Authorize staff to begin the process for joining the Los Angeles Area Regional Agency for AB 939 diversion and disposal reporting purposes. 2. Adopt the attached construction debris recycling resolution to divert debris to recycling facilities instead of landfill disposal. 3. Adopt the attached resolution to establish an "Automated Recycle Toters for Commercial Businesses" program to enhance recycling by.businesses. • 4. Adopt the attached resolution establishing a "5% Commercial Trash to Transformation Facility " program to increase diversion from the commercial and industrial sector. Background The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) mandated a state program requiring that each local jurisdiction prepare, adopt and implement a Source Reduction and Recycling Element in order to divert 50 percent ofits solid waste from local landfills. For several years, the City has been working with Eugene Tseng & Associates on various measures to achieve compliance with the mandatory 50% diversion rate. The City of Hermosa Beach achieved a high of 47% diversion rate in 2001, but the diversion rate for 2002 fell to 37% due to a huge increase in disposal, mostly from increased construction and increased economic growth. In 2001, staff was convinced that implementation of the new 33 gallon toter program would enable the City to achieve the 50% diversion goal, however, the increased volume of construction debris has offset the City's other diversion efforts. Subsequently, on June 10th 2004, staff met with representatives of the California Waste Management Board to discuss methods to achieve diversion goals. The Board followed up with a 30 day Notice of Intent to Issue a Compliance Order to the City regarding implementation of its Source Reduction and Recycling Element and staff developed the implementation measures outlined below as the City's response to the notice. In order to achieve the 50 -percent state mandate and avoid the possibility of daily fines, staff is recommending consideration of four measures: 1. Affiliation with the Los Angeles Area Regional Agency to provide for consolidated AB 939 diversion and disposal reporting. 2. Introduction of a construction debris diversion policy to divert debris to recycling facilities instead of landfill disposal. 3. Introduction of an "Automated Recycle Toters for Commercial Businesses"" program to enhance recycling by businesses. 4. Introduction of a "5% Commercial Trash to Transformation Facility " program to increase 6a diversion from the commercial and industrial sector /3 • • Analysis 1. Los Angeles Regional Agency (LARA) — Consolidated Waste Diversion Reporting Because there are other cities in the area besides Hermosa Beach which have not yet achieved the required 50 percent diversion rate, a number of cities have joined together to form a combined Regional Agency for satisfying the requirements of AB 939. In January 2002, the City of Los Angeles took initial steps toward the formation of a Los Angeles Regional Agency (LARA) for AB 939 diversion and disposal reporting purposes. All of the 88 cities in Los Angeles County were invited to attend meetings and consider joining LARA. (In Northern California, cities and counties have already banded together to form a total of 22 regional agencies.) Initially, 13 other cities responded to LA's invitation and the Los Angeles Regional Agency (LARA) was formed with a total of 14 cities. LARA held its first quarterly meeting in March 2004. The purpose of fonning a Regional Agency is to report AB 939 diversion and disposal as one entity rather than by individual jurisdictions. Therefore, instead of 40 cities with 40 different annual reports and diversion rates, there is one Regional Agency with one annual report and one diversion rate. This simplifies the annual AB 939 reporting process by averaging the diversion among participating jurisdictions. This is helpful for cities such as Hermosa Beach that have not reached 50 percent. (The City ofLos Angeles submitted a year 2000 Base Year Study to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), reporting a diversion rate of 59 percent.) The mechanism used to join LARA is a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). The JPA gives LARA the legal authority to put together the diversion information for all member cities and submit a joint annual report each year. Advantages of joining LARA: • A Regional Agency has more influence at the State level than any single jurisdiction, and better negotiating power. • CIWMB staff has stated that it is more efficient to serve cities collectively rather than attend individual cities' meetings. • LARA allows cities to share costs and conduct new "regional level" base year studies, if required by proposed legislation. • Small cities will not be as affected by fluctuations in the Disposal Reporting System (DRS). It reduces "bean counting" and concern over whether the numbers will add up to a 50 percent diversion or not. • The cities can voluntarily withdraw from" LARA by filing a 180 -day Written notice of intent to withdraw. Effect on Hermosa Beach: • The City's diversion rate will be the same as LARA, which is currently estimated at 52%+ percent for 2002 (compared to the City's 37 percent). • The City will no longer submit an individualized annual report. LARA will submit an annual report on behalf of all the members. This will reduce the time and expense of the City for this task in future years. • The City's diversion rate will not fluctuate as much as before. For example, any large construction project in the City or significant misreporting of neighboring cities activities shifted the City's reported disposal tonnage and therefore diversion rate significantly. • Each city will still be responsible for implementing programs outlined in its CIWMB- approved Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE). Joining the Agency does not mean a City can reduce attention to its recycling programs. • The City will still be responsible for managing its own solid waste and recycling hauling contracts and programs. • In case of new laws or mandates, the City will be in a stronger position to meet them and implement needed programs. • Fluctuations in disposal tonnages and/or improper allocation of disposal tonnage to the City can significantly impact the overall diversion rate year by year; and by joining a regional agency, the disposal fluctuations have minimal impact on the overall regional diversion rate. Cost: • There is a fee of $.15 per ton based on each city's disposal tonnage. Thus, for 2002, Hermosa Beach's annual cost would have been $0.15 x 22,944 or $3,441. The Agency will provide members annual financial statements and full accounting. 2., Construction Debris Waste Diversion Since 1998, the City has been encouraging both public and private demolition and construction projects to achieve a minimum of 50% diversion through waste reduction, reuse, and recycling when reasonably feasible. The new mandatory requirement applies to construction projects with a valuation greater than $100,000. To implement the construction waste diversion requirement, the Department ofPublic Works has previously collected weight tickets as documentation of waste disposal facilities and recycling diversion facilities destination as proof of disposal and diversion. The City has also provided resource guides containing listings of construction and demolition waste processors and service providers. However, more explicit policies and procedures are needed to better document the effectiveness of these recycling requirements so that the City can demonstrate progress toward achieving the mandated state diversion goal of 50%. In order to do this, staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution for " Mandatory Reduction and Recycling of Construction and Demolition Waste", which includes a recycling plan submittal requirement prior to construction/demolition activities commencing. This includes a recycling reporting form indicating recycling and disposal of demolition after the completion of the project. 3. Automated Recycle Toters for Commercial Businesses An "Automated Recycle Toters for Commercial Business" program has been recommended. On average each business will have two 74 -gallon recycle toters delivered upon implementation of the program. Businesses will source separate paper, cans, bottles, and flattened cardboard and place these materials into the toters for collection by the hauler. An .estimated 900 tons, will be diverted each year. The estimated cost increase to the commercial customers' rate is approximately 6.7%. The additional diversion tonnage costs are approximately $76 per ton diverted. 3 • • 4. 5% Commercial Trash to Transformation Facility A "5% Commercial Trash to Transformation Facility" program has also been recommended for implementation. Approximately 1,719 tons per year of commercial trash will be sent to the Long Beach Waste -to -Energy Facility (SERRF) for incineration. This will result in al1100% of the 1,719 tons being credited as diversion to the City of Hermosa Beach., and represents approximately another 5% additional increase in the City's overall diversion rate. The estimated cost increase to the commercial customers' rate is approximately 5.1%. The additional diversion tonnage from this program costs are approximately $30 per ton diverted. Fiscal Impact: If staff recommendations are approved, the City will begin the process of joining the Los Angeles Area Regional Agency. Additional funds in the amount of $3,441 for FY 04-05 will be appropriated in the Solid Waste budget to fund the City's consulting expenses related to joining and working with LARA. All other costs will be funded through fees attached to commercial recycling. Conclusions: If the staff recommendation is approved, the City will begin the process of joining the Los Angeles Area Regional Agency. After joining the Regional Agency, the City's reported diversion will be commingled with LARA's to help achieve diversion rates. The City will also continue to implement other programs in its approved Source Reduction and Recycling Element In addition, adoption of the construction debris diversion and commercial toter programs will facilitate achievement of diversion goals. These steps will address compliance concerns and demonstrate the City's good faith effort toward program implementation. Staff will present them to the Board at their November 3, 2004 meeting. WAN..

The commercial recycling toter program will require commercial businesses to source separate papers, cans, bottles and flattened cardboard for collection and an estimated 900 tons of solid waste will be diverted per year in this manner 2. The 5% commercial trash to transformation program will require that the waste hauler send commercial trash to the Long Beach Waste to Energy Facility (SERRF) for incineration and an estimated 1,719 tons of solid waste will be credited as diversion through this effort Section 5. Based on the foregoing the City Council hereby adopts an automated commercial recycling toter program and 5% commercial trash to transformation program and directs staff to implement them. PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 121 day of October, 2004 PRESIDENT of the City Council and MAYOR of the City of Hermosa Beach, California A11k.ST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY CLERK • CITY ATTORNEY • • EXHIBIT A: CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH RESOLUTION FOR REDUCTION AND RECYCLING OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE L General/Background The State of California has responded to the pressing need to divert materials from landfills in order to preserve decreasing landfill capacity and diminishing natural resources. As a result the California Integrated Waste Management Act [Assembly Bill 939] was passed in 1989. The bill mandates that by January 1, 1995, each California city and county must divert 25 percent of all solid waste from landfill or transformation facilities through source reduction, recycling, and composting activities. By January 1, 2000, the required waste diversion is 50 percent. The City ofHermosa Beach is committed to achieve and maintain the State mandated 50 percent diversion goal beyond the year 2000. To ensure that solid waste generated in the City of Hermosa Beach is reduced, reused or recycled, municipal and private construction projects over $100,000 in value involving construction, remodeling or demolition, must submit a "Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan" to the Community Development Department (private projects) and the Public Works Department (municipal projects) for review and approval with the permit application. Applicant/Contractors will be expected to follow the plan and document results during construction. "Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction and Recycling Report" form will be submitted at the end ofthe project to the for review of compliance with the plan. After the Solid Waste Management and Recycling Plan has been reviewed by the Public Works staff; the plan will either be returned in one of the following four (4) status conditions: • "Approved" • "Further Explanations Needed."

DEV. DEPT Gray Davis Governor RE: 30 -Day Notice of Intent to Issue the City of Hermosa Beach a Compliance Order for Failure to Implement its Source Reduction and Recycling Element and/or Household Hazardous Waste Element and Meet the Fifty Percent Diversion Requirement Dear Mayor Yoon: The purpose of this letter is to formally notify you of the California Integrated Waste Management Board's (Board) intent to consider issuing the City of Hermosa Beach (City) a Compliance Order at its November 9-10, 2004, public meeting for failure to meet the 50 percent diversion requirement. The Board has the authority to issue Compliance Orders to those jurisdictions found to not have made a good faith effort to adequately implement the diversion programs selected in their Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) and/or Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE) in accordance with Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 41825., On November 19, 2002, the Board approved a SB 1066 Time Extension Application (TE) for the City to allow the City until July 31, 2004, to implement additional programs to reach the diversion goal of 50 percent. Board staff visited the City on June 10, 2004, and determined that the City was not implementing some of the programs identified in the Plan of Correction (POC), which is part of the TE. As such, Board staff discussed with the City the need to immediately implement the programs in the POC. At the June 10, 2004 meeting, Board staff notified the City Manager that without resolution of the program implementation issues, the City should be aware that the Board will have to consider whether or not the City is making a good faith effort to implement the programs identified in its TE. We also discussed that if the City is found not to be making a good faith effort to implement their POC programs, the City could be issued a Compliance Order and that failure to meet the Compliance Order requirements may result in civil penalties of up to $10,000 a day. Staff also explained to the City representatives that if the City is taken before the Board to consider the issuance of a Compliance Order, staff would first send the City a 30 -Day notification letter of the Board's intent to consider issuing the City a Compliance Order.

Summary: The Friends of the Parks Community Foundation, comprised of Hermosa Beach residents, serves to provide needs assessments for community parks and recreation programs. Upon its formation in 2003, the organization deemed equipment replacement at Fort Lots -O -Fun as a priority project. The playground equipment is antiquated and does not meet state safety requirements, nor does it comply with the current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The Friends of the Parks organization raised and donated $10,000 towards the Fort Lots -O - Fun Playground Equipment Program. The Friends of the Parks Board held a public meeting to select a park design and playground equipment to satisfy residents' needs and concerns. The proposed design involves a large fort with two spring structures that simulate swing action. The new design maintains the existing open space and allows for open play plus a peripheral track for wheeled play equipment. After receiving and reviewing extensive feedback from residents, the Board contacted several playground equipment manufacturers and evaluated their equipment for safety, aesthetics and cost, then selected Big Toys, Inc. playground equipment. The Fort Lots -O -Fun playground renovation includes construction of concrete access ramps per ADA requirements, a decomposed granite path around the park, replacement of existing chain Zink fencing, installation of a new wooden fort -style gate, installation of innovative playground equipment by Big Toys, Inc. along with installation of safety rubber matting. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the renovation of Fort Lots -O -Fun as described and authorize staff to advertise for bids for Fort Lots -O -Fun renovation project with selected Big Toys, Inc. for the playground equipment.

By Deepa Bharath DAILY BREEZE With its breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and its fun, fort -themed playground equipment, Fort Lots -O -Fun park has been the venue of hundreds of birthday parties and get-togethers in Hermosa Beach for more than 50 years. And for more than half a century, the 0.3 - acre park with its old Western-style wagon and monkey bars with wooden slats, has been untouched by heavy construction equipment. -Fun new stuff Everything is exactly the way it was 53 years ago, when the park was first built to serve the needs of the then -newly con- structed Prospect Heights Elementary School at Sixth Street and Prospect Avenue. But that's about to change, thanks to the efforts of Friends of the Parks Community Foundation, a neighborhood movement, which sprouted its roots somewhere in the grassy areas of the city's parks. Lots -O -Fun is all set for a makeover, which will mainly include playground equipment and acces- sories such as rubberized mats in play areas that conform to state safety codes. The nonprofit group, which started with eight members two years ago, now has 75 members and was able to raise S10,000 toward the Fort Lots -O -Fun renovation project. The citywill contribute the remain - r/1/4? --/p_ ing S80,000 needed for the improvements, city Public Works Director Rick Morgan said. "It's one of our more heavily used parks," he said. "And it's always been one of those wonderful little neighborhood parks. It's great that a community-based group was able to come together and contribute toward a worthwhile project." If the City Council authorizes Morgan's department to put the project out to bid, construction will begin in June and end a month later, Morgan said. It's a trend in more and more cities and communities, said Lisa Lynn, Director of Community Resources. "It's a collaborative effort between the city and a group of residents," she said.

Background: The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County have requested that the City Council take a position of opposition to SB926. This bill would prohibit a local public agency from exporting biosolids processed by the agency to any other county. As you may know, the Sanitation Districts presently export processed biosolids to other facilities outside of Los Angeles County. This existing program is a beneficial use of the biosolid and would be adversely affected by this bill. A copy of the letter and bill is attached. Respectfully submi Ste en R.

STAHL Chief Engineer and General Manager RECEIVED MAR 3 1 2005 Per ............. Senate Bill 926 (Florez) — Oppose Position At the March 23, 2005 Board meeting, the Directors present were briefed on Senate Bill (SB) 926, authored by Senator Dean Florez of Shafter, California. Senate Bill 926 would prohibit a local public agency from exporting biosolids processed by that agency to any other county. As written, SB 926 would have serious adverse impacts on the Sanitation Districts' program to beneficially reuse biosolids produced in the wastewater treatment process in an envi- ronmentally sound and cost-effective manner. At present, approximately 98 percent of the biosolids produced at Sanitation Districts' facilities are beneficially reused through a multi -faceted system of biosolids management, including production of compost for agricultural and consumer use, agricultural land application, and air pollution (NOx) reduction through use as a feedstock in a cement kiln. However, most of these activities are located outside of Los Angeles County. Addi- tionally, the major new biosolids composting facilities the Districts are currently developing in Kings County (Westlake Farms) and San Bernardino County (the Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility developed in partnership with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency), would also be adversely affected by this bill. Consistent with the Resolution adopted on March 23, 2005 by District No. 2 on behalf of each of the Districts party to the Amended Joint Outfall Agreement, the Sanitation Districts are opposing this bill and are sending letters to Senator Florez and to each member of the Senate Committee on Environmental Quality, which currently is scheduled to hold a hearing on the bill on April 11, 2005. I strongly urge each city to also write to the Committee and urge the members to vote "no" on SB 926. Attached for your reference are a copy of the bill, the Resolution adopted by District No. 2, a sample opposition letter, a fact sheet on SB 926, and a roster of the members of the Senate Committee on Environmental Quality.

Stahl SENATE BILL No. 926 Introduced by Senator Florez February 22, 2005 An act to add Section 40065 to the Public Resources Code, and to add Section 13228.17 to the Water Code, relating to sewage sludge. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 926, as introduced, Florez. Sewage sludge management. Existing law, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, imposes requirements with respect to solid waste management and solid waste disposal facilities. That act defines solid waste to include dewatered, treated, and chemically fixed sewage sludge that is not a hazardous waste. Existing law, the Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act, requires the State Water Resources Control Board or the California regional water quality control boards to prescribe general waste discharge requirements for agronomic applications of that sludge and the use of that sludge as a soil amendment or fertilizer. This bill, on or before January 1, 2010, would require each local public agency to apply at least 75% of all sewage sludge generated by that local public agency to beneficial use, including electricity generation, composting, or other land applications. The bill would prohibit a local public agency from exporting sewage sludge generated by that local public agency to any other county, but would authorize the appropriate regional board to grant an exception to that prohibition if certain requirements are met. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State -mandated local program: no. • SB 926 2 — The people of the State of California do enact as follows: 1 SECTION 1. Section 40065 is added to the Public Resources 2 Code, to read: 3 40065. Notwithstanding . any other provision of law, on or 4 before January 1, 2010, each local public agency shall apply at 5 least 75 percent of all sewage sludge generated by that local 6 public agency to beneficial use, including, but not limited to, 7 electricity generation, composting, or other land applications. 8 SEC. 2.

ALMA HORVATH Secretary to the Board RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL (SB) 926 (FLOREZ) ADOPTED MARCH 23, 2005 WHEREAS, the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (Sanitation Districts) were created under the County Sanitation District Act in 1923; and WHEREAS, the Sanitation Districts jointly provide for the regional management of approximately one-half of the solid waste disposal needs of Los Angeles County and serve the wastewater disposal needs of over five million people; and the Sanitation Districts' service area encompasses all or parts of 78 cities and unincorporated areas in the county; and WHEREAS, biosolids are the safe, nutrient -rich natural byproduct of wastewater treatment, which are highly processed and analyzed to ensure their safety; and WHEREAS, in exercise of their authority in the area of wastewater management to provide for the essential public service of management of the biosolids produced as a byproduct of wastewater treatment, the Sanitation Districts have developed a multi -faceted system of biosolids management including reuse through production of compost for agricultural and consumer use, agricultural land application, and air pollutant reduction in a cement kiln, and • WHEREAS, the biosolids produced by the Sanitation Districts' wastewater treatment plants and used for agricultural land application, compost and other activities meet all local, state, and federal regulatory requirements for environmental protection; and WHEREAS, the Sanitation Districts strive to promote reuse of biosolids to the maximum extent feasible, and were a pioneer in biosolids reuse through a partnership that began in 1927 with Kellogg Supply, Inc., to recycle dried biosolids for agricultural use as well as to produce a high quality compost product containing biosolids from the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant for use by consumers both within and outside of Los Angeles County; and WHEREAS, SB 926 would severely constrain the Sanitation Districts' ability to maximize reuse and recycling of biosolids, opportunities for which occur most frequently in areas where agricultural activities are concentrated; and WHEREAS, SB 926 would prohibit the Sanitation Districts' use of biosolids management facilities outside of Los Angeles County, thereby undermining the Districts' use of several existing facilities in other counties and several new projects currently under development in other counties; and WHEREAS, SB 926 ignores the interdependencies of the various regions of California on each other for the economic and social welfare of the population, including such activities as energy production, oil refining, transportation (e.g. airports, ports), solid and hazardous waste management, and interstate and international trade. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No. 2 of Los Angeles County, on behalf of all the Districts party to the Amended Joint Outfall Agreement, strongly opposes SB 926 and directs the Chief Engineer and General Manager to communicate this position of opposition to the Legislature and the Governor of the State of California. SAMPLE LETTER OF OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 926 (FLOREZ) (AS INTRODUCED) [fill in date] The Honorable Alan Lowenthal, Chair Senate Committee on Environmental Quality State Capitol Building, Room 2205 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Chairman Lowenthal: Senate Bill 926 (Florez) (As Introduced) -- Oppose Position On behalf of the City of {fill in}, I am writing in opposition to SB 926 by Senator Dean Florez, which is scheduled to be heard by the Senate Committee on Environmental Quality on April 11, 2005. SB 926 would prohibit a public wastewater treatment agency from exporting biosolids processed by that agency to any other county. SB 926 would undermine significant local public agency investments in beneficial reuse projects_ for biosolids, and would discourage beneficial reuse and diversion from landfills, which is contrary to long-established state policy under AB 939. Additionally, SB 926 also has the potential to result in unnecessary wastewater rate increases for the citizens of my city, in order to pay for the development of new options for biosolids management. Finally, SB 926 is poor public policy because it ignores the interdependencies of the various regions of California on each other for a wide variety of purposes. Because counties are not sustainable within their borders, they must rely on the free flow of goods and services across county lines. Examples of inter -county reliance include the shipment of raw materials to urban manufacturing centers for the production of final goods and the transport of overseas products from the receiving ports to various counties across the state. In short, SB 926 is not in the best interest of the people of {fill in name of City} or the people of the State of California. For all of these reasons, the City of {fill in} respectfully urges you to vote "NO" when SB 926 is heard by the Senate Committee on Environmental Quality. Sincerely, {fill in} cc: Committee Consultants and Members, Senate Committee on Environmental Quality Senator Dean Florez Fact Sheet SB 926 (Florez) (As Introduced) Main Points regarding SB 926 o Bill summary: As introduced, SB 926 would require each local public agency to put at least 75% of all sewage sludge generated by that local agency to beneficial use, including, but not limited to, electricity generation, composting, or other land applications. The bill would also prohibit as of Jan. 1, 2006 the export of sewage sludge generated by the local public agency to any other county. Exceptions to this inter -county export prohibition may only be granted after certain findings are made by the "appropriate regional board" (not defined), and the county to which the sewage sludge is proposed to be sent agrees with the regional board's decision. It is our understanding that the author intends to amend the bill shortly to retain just the provisions prohibiting the export of sewage sludge generated in one county to any other county, and that the rest of the bill will be deleted. o : The bill ignores the interdependencies of various regions of California on each other for a wide variety of purposes. Interstate and international trade, major transportation centers (e.g. airports), solid and hazardous waste management, energy production and processing, and food production and processing are all examples of areas in which different regions are inter- dependent. It is bad public policy, and not in the public interest, to prohibit intercounty shipments of biosolids and facilities/projects that would manage biosolids that come from other counties. o The bill would undermine and eliminate many (if not most) existing and planned beneficial use projects, and there would be.no way for many local public agencies to comply with the requirement to use only in -county facilities for biosolids management. Therefore, the 75% goal is likely unachievable, if imposed in conjunction with the intercounty transport ban. Opportunities for reuse and recycling of biosolids occur most frequently in areas where agricultural activities are concentrated. Appropriate locations do not usually occur within major urban areas. Background Points o The U.S. EPA defines biosolids as the nutrient -rich organic material resulting from the treatment of sewage sludge (which is the solid byproduct of the wastewater treatment process). When treated and processed, sewage sludge becomes biosolids, which can be safely recycled and applied as soil conditioner to sustainably improve and maintain healthy soils, and stimulate plant growth. o The Sanitation Districts produce approximately 600,000 wet tons of biosolids per year. The vast majority of these biosolids (-98%) are beneficially reused through a multi -faceted system of biosolids management including production of compost for agricultural and consumer use, agricultural land application, and air pollution reduction through a cement kiln. Most of the current and planned projects for biosolids reuse in which the Districts are participating are located outside of Los Angeles County. o The biosolids produced by the Sanitation Districts' wastewater treatment plants meet all local, state and federal regulatory requirements for environmental and human health protection. o Senator Florez' bill appears to have been introduced as a result of his interest in having the Kern County Board of Supervisors revise their local ordinance to ban biosolids land application in Kern County. Senator Florez' interest in this topic appears to have begun as a result of concerns expressed by the Kern County Water Agency over the City of Los Angeles' Green Acres Farm, which the City purchased in 2000 for $9.6 million for biosolids management. The Water Agency's concern is related to the fact that the farmland used by the City of LA for biosolids land application overlies the Kern Water Bank (a conjunctive use project.) However, no scientific evidence has been brought forward to substantiate the Water Agency's concerns, or indicate that current regulations are not fully protective of groundwater.

Background: The City Council, along with all of the other South Bay cities, has opposed the split of the area code. As you know, this has been going on for a number of years. The latest effort to make sure all of the numbers are used before consideration is given to split the area code is AB1380 (Gordon). A copy of the letter sent in support of this bill for the hearing on April 11, 2005 is attached. There will be a hearing on Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 10:00am in El Segundo. This is a time for local government officials to testify. There are more detail in the attached information. Respectfully submitted, Stephen R. Burrell City Manager 7b April 5, 2005 • • City of Hermosa l�eack_i The Honorable Lloyd Levine, Chair Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee State Capitol, Room 5136 Sacramento CA 95814 Civic Center, 1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, California 90254-3885 Re: AB 1380 (Gordon): Area Code Conservation and Consumer Protection Act — SUPPORT Dear Assemblymember Levine: The City of Hermosa Beach respectfully requests your "AYE" vote on AB 1380 (Gordon). Assembly Bill 1380 seeks to avoid the premature exhaust of an area code by providing carriers a clear and objective method to assess their inventory needs and requiring that carriers return or donate surplus numbers for redistribution. Area code splits are costly and inconvenient to consumers and businesses because they necessitate numerous expenses such as changing letterhead and marketing plans as well as contacting clients and others to inform them of number changes. Splits also represent a particular burden to seniors and the disabled community who face significant challenges to change their dialing habits. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which is tasked with managing the numbering resources for the state, is authorized to order the split of an area code (and the launch of a new one in that area) when it determines that an area code is nearing exhaustion. Current practice involves heavy reliance on reports and projections from the telephone carrier industry itself, and although the industry is regulated by the CPUC, there is no objective review, and therefore no accountability, of what the carriers represent. As a result of such projections, six area codes are currently slated for split by 2008: 310, 714, 760, 818, 408, and 415. A.B. 1380 will establish guidelines by which carriers can determine their six-month inventory; require carriers to assess their inventories and file inventory reports to the CPUC every six months; require carriers to return excess inventory blocks; and expand consumer protection by making carriers more accountable for their number inventories. Again, when AB 1380 is heard before you we request your "AYE" vote. Sincerely, J. R. Reviczky Mayor Cc: Members, Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee Assemblymember Mike Gordon Background Fact Sheet - AB 1380 (Gordon) Area Code Conservation and Consumer Protection Act of 2006 The rapid growth in demand for telephone numbers, particularly with the growth of the wireless telephone industry in California, has led to a proliferation of new area codes. The California Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which is tasked with managing the numbering resources for the state, is authorized to order the split of an area code (and the launch of a new one in that area) when it determines that an area code is nearing exhaustion. Such splits are costly and inconvenient to consumers and businesses because they necessitate numerous expenses such as changing letterhead and marketing plans as well as contacting clients and others to inform them of number changes. Splits also represent a particular burden to seniors and the disabled community who face significant challenges to change their dialing habits. Current Law Under current law, telephone numbering is regulated in part by the PUC and in part by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Public Utilities Code requires that the PUC implement "all reasonable" conservation measures before approving an area code split, meaning that the PUC must ensure that the area code is truly running out of numbers before it deems a split is necessary. The FCC, meanwhile, has adopted various rules relating to the utilization of numbering resources, including authorizing each carrier to maintain no more than a six-month inventory of numbers. Neither the PUC nor the FCC has set forth specific directives for how carriers determine their inventory needs. Because the PUC relies so heavily on carriers for information about number utilization, it cannot ensure that it has implemented all reasonable conservation measures and no law or regulatory policy currently exists, at either the state or federal level, that allows the PUC to independently and adequately track carrier inventories. Additionally, information on number utilization is not provided to the public, so consumers have no recourse to challenge assumptions. Purpose of the Bill Assembly Bill 1380 will create rules for determining the inventory of numbering resources applicable to telecommunications carriers that hold numbers (codes or blocks within rate centers) in California. The goal of AB 1380 is to avoid the premature exhaust of an area code by providing carriers a clear and objective method to assess their inventory needs and requiring that carriers return or donate surplus numbers, as necessary. Specifically, AB 1380: • Establishes guidelines by which carriers can determine their six-month inventory. • Requires carriers to assess their inventories and file inventory reports to the PUC every six months; • Requires carriers to return excess inventory blocks; and • Expands consumer protection by making carriers more accountable for their number inventories.

Reviczky City of Hermosa Beach 600 Ardmore Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 vh,v6G Dear Mayor Reviczky: I am writing to inform you about SB148 (Scott) Alcoholic Beverages: Licensing Restrictions, which Senator Jack Scott has introduced at our request. This bill would authorize local jurisdictions to amortize, terminate or impose conditions on liquor stores not currently subject to local regulation. The purpose of this letter is to request your support. We have experienced difficulties over many years with certain non -conforming liquor stores. Our concerns and the concerns of residents have prompted us to pursue local and state changes in current laws. Interest in this legislation is strong, and we are optimistic that the City of Los Angeles will grant its endorsement soon. Pasadena supports SB148 as a means to address problems associated with nuisance liquor stores, such as disturbance of the peace, public drunkenness/drinking, acts of vandalism, littering, loitering, graffiti, excessive loud noises, and lewd conduct. The legislation would greatly assist cities and counties throughout California to control these impacts on neighborhoods by enabling local jurisdictions to enforce new ordinances and allow liquor storeowners a reasonable time to comply. The bill will be heard before the Senate Governmental Organization Committee, chaired by Senator Dean Florez, on April 12. We respectfully urge your City Council to support SB148 and to communicate that position to Senator Florez and your State Senator before that date. Please contact us at (626) 744-7210 if you would like more details about Pasadena's position.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 148, as introduced, Scott. Alcoholic beverages: licensing restrictions. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act imposes upon the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control the responsibility to administer and enforce state laws with respect to alcoholic beverages, including the implementation of alcoholic beverage licensing. Among other things, the act prohibits the issuance of any retail license for the sale of alcoholic beverages for any premises that are located in any territory where the exercise of the rights and privileges conferred by the license is contrary to a valid zoning ordinance of any county or city. The act provides that premises which had been used in the exercise of those rights and privileges at a time prior to the effective date of the zoning ordinance may continue operation under specified conditions. This bill would authorize a county or city to provide fnr^^snnable amortization period and of, or imposition of conditions on legal nonconfcn -ii:iit us, i-Aiisuant to, a validly enacted zoning ordinance. These provisions would also apply to premises which had been used in the exercise of rights and privileges conferred by the retail license at a time prior to the effective date of the zoning ordinance. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State -mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 23790 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read: 23790. (a) No retail license shall be issued for any premises which are located in any territory where the exercise of the rights and privileges conferred by the license is contrary to a valid zoning ordinance of any county or city. (b) Premises which had been used in the exercise of those rights and privileges at a time prior to the effective date of the zoning ordinance may continue operation under the following conditions: (a) (1) The premises retain the same type of retail liquor license within a license classification. (b) (2) The licensed premises are operated continuously without substantial change in mode or character of operation. (c) For purposes of this subdivision, a break in continuous operation does not include: (1) A closure for not more than 30 days for purposes of repair, if that repair does not change the nature of the licensed premises and does not increase the square footage of the business used for the sale of alcoholic beverages. (2) The closure for restoration of premises rendered totally or partially inaccessible by an act of God or a toxic accident, if the restoration does not increase the square footage of the business used for the sale of alcoholic beverages. (d) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), a county or city may provide for a reasonable amortization period and termination of or imposition of conditions on legal nonconforming uses pursuant to, a validly enacted zoning ordinance. • • SB 148 (Scott) — Liquor Store Ordinances SB 148 gives authority to local governments, specifically cities, to establish reasonable amortization periods for non -conforming off -sale liquor establishments to conform to zoning requirements as other businesses are required to do so. The bill amends Business ,and Professions Code Section 23790 to require retail liquor sales licensees to comply with zoning regulations which a city or county adopts after the licensee obtains a license. Over the last year, the City of Pasadena conducted a concentrated review of the impacts of nuisances posed by liquor stores within the city limits. Additionally, they reviewed the contro'-iec?'n^i^ms available to cities. The City has begun Chang;ng the m>>nicipal code, but Wit.„ ... a., .42ropriate change in state law, the city cannot app., _- ..' :';,ffect these changes. Under current law, cities or counties can only enforce zoning ordinances that were present when a licensee obtained his license. It does not give cities the ability to change the law and then enforce it. The city of Pasadena points out that: "many cities have found that previously allowed uses, such as off-site liquor licensed premises, may no longer fit into the planning scheme which surround their location and have enacted legislation which would make such licensed premises a nonconforming use." This bill would allow cities to more effectively enforce their laws and also allow liquor store owners a reasonable amount of time to comply with any change in law. SB 148 is pending before the Senate Governmental Organization Committee chaired by Senator Dean Florez, fax number (916) 327-5989. 1 PARCEL 2,850 S.F.
