I represent the Beach Cities Masonic Lodge at 1535 Artesia Blvd., Manhattan Beach. Our Lodge along with Redondo, Gardena and El Segundo Lodges is hosting a 9/11 remembrance and festival at Recreation Park in E1 Segundo on September l lth...-Our..event is co-sponsored by the City of El Segundo. The event will feature the Air National Guard with several tanks and fighting vehicles as well as an F16 Fly -By at the exact moment the first plane struck the first tower. I contacted Nancy at Public Works to reserve a banner span on PCH to notify the public of the event. I was later informed that the City of Hermosa Beach doesn,t allow groups from outside the City to install banners. Beach Cities Masonic Lodge was originally Hermosa Lodge #557. Our Lodge began in Hermosa above. the theater in 1921. We remained there until the 1965 when we moved to a larger building in Manhattan Beach. We remained Hermosa Lodge until 1993 when we joined with Manhattan Lodge and Dana R Weller Lodge. Our name was changed to Beach Cities lodge #557. Two years ago Lawndale and Hawthorne Lodges joined us and our name remained the same but the number became #753. Presently Beach Cities Lodge now represents the membership of Hermosa, Manhattan, Lawndale and Hawthorne. We ask you to bring before the City Counsel an exclusion to the rule of residency for our organization. As you can see, Beach Cities Masonic Lodge is Hermosa Beach.

For the council to authorize tax money to be spent on the installation of fire hydrants and then not have the exact specifications of the law followed in maintaining unobstructed and unhindered access for two years after being put on notice of such violations by a photo of obstructed fire hydrant access is a vulgar display of ignoring due care_ The voters have voted to remove department heads from civil service (copy enclosed) at the city council's request with the city council campaigning for said removal from civil service. Do the city attorney and city manager serve at the city council's pleasure? Does the city council wish to be viewed as hiding behind the fixe laws's total immunity by lc Id WU0080 SOOE 80 "unf : 'ON XI:kJ : WnN ' letting fire safety slide as they campaign to acquire support for their election to city council? 34 to 40 years ago a policeman on patrol smelled a fire at 9th Street and Prospect. The news article said he looked for the fire for 30 to 45 minutes but could not locate it. Later that night when the fire department arrived they found 3 burned up children. No hesitation should ever prevent the calling of the fire department to investigate the smell of fire. Hesitation by the city council in the immediate requiring of total compliance and enforcement of the fire laws constitutes a lack of due care. The city council may be viewed as trading fire safety for campaign votes or endorsements!!! From 1960-62 we used to clear any and all obstructions establishing access immediately upon finding the legally required area at a fire hydrant to be obstructed. We also did flow checks at all hydrants on a regular schedule. r The present city council was put on notice on March -6, 2003 that firehydrants were blocked at construction sites. (copy enclosed) That situation continued until May 15, 2003 at 18th Street and Rhodes. How can such a lack of enforcing the fire laws be considered anything less than a failure to exercise due care? The people need to have confidence in their governmental officers. With the no confidence vote of the fire chief how can the people have anything short of a no confidence vote for the city council what with their 2 year delay in getting the legally required clearance at fire hydrants? Neither the gambling operation or the insurance fraud reported in the paper as being done by former fire department personnel will ever hold a candle to the horrific results that couldresult from the city council's failure to have the fire department strictly enforce all law; that provide fire safety such as the taws that mandate unhindered fire hydrant access.

The duty to perform is. a duty enjoined. I told the city manager that the construction site at 20th -21' - Streets and Pacific Coast Highway needed a sidewalk canopy. He said it had been checked out and did not need a canopy: I told him the decks and overhang reached within the distance requiring a canopy, and Bloomfield's department must be measuring to the foimdation not the overhang. Then the city manager then had the law enforced and a canopy was installed as previously mandated by law. • The moorings at ed and Valley have been under remodel for 6 months and the law has . required a canopy over the sidewalk. On May 29, 2005 six months after the law mandates a canopy be installed over the sidewalk one is not in place. This is after all the city staff was presefit inspecting the 2nd,Street repaving program for months. Other locations where no canopies were installed when mandated are in part as follows: 30th Street and Morningside 2200 block of Hermosa Ave, Td WUEV:LO S00S 90 'Lin!' 0N xyd lat .41111 ECERb J ti 0 625 CITY CtElIK elTY iiEF:Mr<111 BEAN b : W0e1 An example of the tragedy of no sidewalk canopy was in the bay area when a piece of pipe rolled of a roof and went through a baby stroller on an unprotected sidewalk resulting in a wrongful death. Hermosa Beach is subject to tort claims for the city council's failure to enforce sidewalk safety after being placed on. notice. For weeks now Peter and J. R.. have forwarded the information of failure to enforce sidewalk canopies and making sidewalks safe for pedestrian travel. They claim the appropriate personnel have been told yet the protections mandated by law are not being installed at the construction sites where and when the safety measure is mandated by law to be installed. J. R. told me flagmen were being used instead of canopies. The city council voted 4 to 1 to get the city's sidewalks safe for pedestrians at all construction sites in the City of Hermosa Beach. That vote must be followed to the letter of the law to demonstrate due care is being exercised. To not require safe sidewalks for pedestrians at all construction sites is a failure to exercise due care. The city council failing to make sure their 4 to 1 vote guarantees safe sidewalks for pedestrians at construction sites may be viewed as a failure to exercise due care. The city council member's support for safe sidewalks at construction sites must be strictly implemented or due care is not being exercised. If a judgment against the City of Hermosa Beach for .millions of dollars is awarded to someone damaged, injured, or killed by another falling piece of construction material would that show a failure of the city council to exercise the req ' _ • due care to correct a danger after being placed on notice? Peter and J. R. say they are relating the need to install sidewalk safety structures to the right person. Could the illustrated failure to acquire the manda ed sidewalk protections to be installed when and where they are mandated be a failure to =xercise due care? Could the failure known by J. R. and Peter be perceived as creating • s nal liability on the members who do not vote to support safe sidewalks at constru on sites? Could all council members be found personally liable if they fail to get e mandated sidewalk , safety structures installed as and when the law mandates to ins - that due care is exercised? ad NlJ P :2.0 S00Z 90 'u^t J 'ON-Xdd : WOa.

Items for Commission Consideration Please note that while items were presented out of order, they are presented in order for clarity. a. Disabled Parking Spaces Mr. Morgan presented the item, first updating all on the history of disabled parking spaces for residents in Hermosa and -ending with the direction from Council at the March 22, 2005 meeting "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." He noted that staffs recommendation is a subcommittee of Commissioners be established to look at this more closely and develop new policies for these spaces. Mr. Flaherty noted that at this time there are 21 such spaces in Hermosa, including the newest on Monterey. He also noted that he believes many of the existing spaces would not qualify during a new review. General discussion among the Commissioners ensued, highlights included: . 2e • r • There is much divisiveness over parking among neighbors; this is a very emotional subject. • If necessary, ramps could be built on private property to allow for vehicle access on one's own property. • There is a definite need for clear, consistent, fair guidelines. • Commissioners Lombardo and DiVirgilio volunteered to be on the subcommittee. • Could be embarrassing for some to be put in front of a public hearing to discuss their disabilities; would be good to make the policy so clear that only extreme cases could need to go to the public hearing level. • Look at other communities — some similar to Hermosa where parking is so dear, where density of housing is as intense. • The policy, once determined and approved by the Commission, would then go to Council for public hearing and final approval/direction to implement. The subcommittee consisting of Commissioners Lombardo and DiVirgilio will bring a report to the meeting of June 15, 2005. 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 costof. 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 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. PWC Meeting 2 3/23/05 • • 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 followinghighlights: • 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 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. PWC Meeting 3 3/23/05 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 Beste adjourned the meeting at 8:36 p.m. to the meeting of June 15, 2005.

Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached agreement allowing the connection to the Manhattan Beach sewer; 2. Appropriate $12,000 from the Sewer Fund (160) to pay the Sewer Connection Fee; and 3. Approve the transfer of $25,000 from CIP No. 03-418 to CIP No. 02-412 to complete the sewer connection. Summary: The City's sewer pump station at 33rd Street and Ingleside Drive has become inoperable and in need of extensive rehabilitation. Mayor Reviczky suggested that staff investigate the idea of a gravity flow connection to the Manhattan Beach sewer system in lieu of rehabilitating this pump station at a cost of approximately $150,000. Manhattan Beach staff worked with us to develop this agreement and determined the proposed annual fee. This amount was determined based upon the number of properties in Hermosa being served (213 total properties — see Exhibit A in Agreement) times Manhattan's annual sewer fee amount of $5 per month. They rounded this down to $12,000, to be adjusted annually by the CPI amount (the same as their sewer fee). Staff believes this amount to be reasonable and recommends approval. The City saves the funds needed to refurbish the pumping facility as well as annual operation and maintenance costs. Completing this connection to the Manhattan Beach sewer system will require constructing two manholes and approximately 50 feet of sewer pipe (see Exhibit B in Agreement) at an estimated cost of $25,000. This cost has already been allocated in the FY 04-05 budget for the upgrade of the two sewer pump stations (CIP No. 03-418). Staff recommends transferring $25,000 from this project to the Sewer Improvement Project (CIP No. 02-412), which is presently under contract to perform the work under change order. The contract for the renovation of the . Sewer Pump Station at 35th Street and The Strand is scheduled to be awarded in June. Fiscal Impact: Transfer $25,000 from CIP No. 03-418 to CIP No. 02-412 and appropriate $12,000 from the Sewer Fund (160). 2h V Attachment: Sanitary Sewer Connection Agreement Respectfully submitted, Richard D.

Dttfreil City Manager 2 H:\B95\PWFILES\CCITEMS\pproval manhattan sewer agrmt 6-14.05.doc C t AGREEMENT SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION This Agreement is entered into on June 14, 2005 by and between the cities of Hermosa Beach ("Hermosa") and Manhattan Beach ("Manhattan") (hereinafter individually "Party" and collectively, the "Parties") each of which is a municipal corporation and a general law city of the State of California. RECITALS A. Each of the Parties owns, operates and maintains a municipal sanitary sewer system for.the disposal and conveyance of wastewater originating in their respective territorial boundaries. B. Hermosa's sewage pump station at 33rd Street and Ingleside Drive (the "pump station") is in a state of disrepair and requires extensive rehabilitation. C. In lieu of performing such reconstruction, Hermosa seeks to divert wastewater from the pump station and discharge it into Manhattan's sewer system by gravity flow. D. A physical connection already exists between the Parties' respective sewer systems, .:and Manhattan's system has adequate capacity to receive the wastewater generated . from this diversion and convey it approximately one thousand feet to the Sanitation District's main sewer line. E. This Agreement will facilitate the foregoing arrangement and will be to the mutual interest and advantage of both Parties. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the covenants and conditions set forth below, the parties agree as follows: 1. Service Connection. Manhattan hereby permits, licenses and authorizes Hermosa to construct a sewer connection as described and in the location •designated in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Hermosa and or its designated agents may enter upon Manhattan's right-of-way as necessary to construct and maintain the connection for the duration of this Agreement. Hermosa shall construct and maintain the connection at its sole cost and expense and in accordance with Manhattan's usual standards and all applicable laws for the construction of public works facilities. 2. Discharge of Wastewater. Manhattan hereby agrees to accept into its sanitary sewer system the discharge of wastewater from all developed properties within the geographic area in Hermosa described in Exhibit A. No additional connections shall be made without the prior written approval of Manhattan. Hermosa shall be responsible for enforcing applicable laws, regulations and permit requirements pertaining to illegal discharges within its boundaries. 3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement is effective on the date signed by both parties and shall remain in effect for five (5) years, to be renewable in five. (5) year increments thereafter. 4. Service Connection Fee. In consideration of the wastewater discharge permitted by this Agreement, Hermosa shall pay to Manhattan the sum of $12,000 per year, payable on or before the anniversary of the effective date each year this Agreement is in effect. The payment shall be prorated for any partial year this Agreement is in effect. The payment due under this paragraph shall be adjusted annually on the anniversary date of this Agreement by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the most recent twelve month period for which data is available. "Consumer Price Index" or "CPI" shall mean the Consumer Price Index (CPI) All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, base period 1982-84=100, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the CPI is discontinued or revised during the Term by the United States Department of Labor, such other government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the CPI had not been discontinued or revised. 5.

'Background: The City of Rancho Palos Verdes has'requested that all South Bay cities join in supporting their application for funding.. The Wildlife Conservation Board provides grant funding for these types of projects and this project certainly could be accessible to Hermosa Beach residents as well as other South Bay cities. A wide show of support is helpful in getting the grant funds. Adoption of the attached resolution simply expresses the City's support for the Wildlife Conservation Board to assist Rancho Palos Verdes in the acquisition of this land.

Reviczky City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive ' Hermosa Beach, California 90254 RECEIVED MAY 2 6 2005 Per Dear Mayor Reviczky: On behalf of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, we are requesting a resolution of support from your City Council for state government funding to acquire the remaining acreage of the Portuguese Bend Nature Preserve. The Preserve will be a 1500 -acre area of coastal open space within the densely populated Los Angeles basin. It is now the largest piece of unprotected coastal land between Laguna Beach and the Santa Monica Mountains, and the closest significant coastal natural area to all of the governments represented by the South Bay COG. The residents of your community will benefit from the recreational and educational opportunities available when the land is safely preserved. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes, with help from the state Wildlife Conservation Board; committed significant resources to purchase the eastern and western ends of the preserve and they will be conserved as natural open space in perpetuity. However, the 700 acres in the center section remain vulnerable to development and there are active proposals under review or in preparation for the land. The Preserve area is home to numerous threatened or endangered species, including the California gnatcatcher, the cactus wren and a variety of rare plants. It is crossed by numerous trails used by hikers, bicyclists and equestrians, and provides recreational and educational resources to users from the entire South Bay. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, working with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, will assume management and maintenance responsibilities for the site for habitat restoration and public use. Two developers currently own the properties to be acquired. We have a purchase agreement with one and are negotiating with the other to acquire their 30940MtVEN4f j 864Lc Vrpghirc4;A t/ (310)544-5205 / FAX (310) 544-5291 / www.PALOSVERDES.COM/RPV PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Request for Support May 12, 2005 Page 2 of 22 land for the Preserve. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy has committed to raise $6 million to the acquisition costs. We have support from state agencies for the balance of the funding, but, it is extremely important to also have the support of the local communities that will be served by the Preserve. We are requesting resolutions of support from all of the cities in the COG for the expenditure of state bond funds for this regional resource. Enclosed is a draft resolution. We would be very happy to answer any other questions you may have, and we appreciate the opportunity to work together with you toward this important goal. Thank you for your help.

PRESIDENT of the City Council and MAYOR of the City of Hermosa Beach, California ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY CLERK CITY ATTORNEY -2- June 7, 2005 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of June 14, 2005 RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF CANON IMAGERUNNER DIGITAL COPY/PRINT/SCAN/FAX NETWORKED OFFICE SYSTEMS FOR CITY HALL Recommendation: Itis "re ornmended that City Council authorize stair to purchase Canon imageRUNNER Digital Networked Office Systems from Canon Business Solutions and appropriate $19,702 from the Equipment Replacement Fund to complete the purchase. Background: This request is for the replacement/upgrade of six copiers currently utilized by City staff. These were budgeted in 2004-05 for replacement. These units are long past their guaranteed useful life and have proved barely adequate in providing the functions necessary to the operation of routine office procedures. Not only are these units in need of replacement due to the excessive use and repeated need for service, but they are extremely antiquated. The advent of digital technology, has changed the way business and government operate. Today's digital systems work as printers, copiers, scanners, and fax machines all in one. As such, we will continue to see savings over the next several years as some of the existing stand-alone printers, scanners and fax machines are retired without replacement. Also, some departments that never had these capabilities in the past. will now have all of these functions without the cost of additional stand-alone equipment. Upgrading to this new technology will greatly enhance our efficiency. All units would be connected to the users' computer through the City's network. Such a system will make it possible for an administrative aide to compile an agenda packet in its entirety on their computer and then send the information to the copier, resulting in individual completed packets with each item separately stapled, collated, 3 -hole punched, and ready for distribution. This eliminates hours of copying by the various departments and hours of manual collation that is currently performed the administrative aides. Replacing these antiquated copiers with up-to-the-minute technology will also have a positive impact on staff's ability to serve the public efficiently. Several vendors were contacted and asked to provide in-house demonstrations of their product. Three vendors complied, they were: Canon, Sharp and Minolta. All machines were tested thoroughly; the functions performed by each were evaluated against the needs of the City as well as the cost and service provided by each company. Canon was selected because it provides the newest technology, features the functions and machine speeds best suited to the daily operations of staff as well as providing a sound maintenance and supplies program. We contacted the City of Torrance City Attorney's. office as a reference for the Canon imageRUNNER product. They confirmed that we can expect excellent performance from the product and the service department at Canon Business Solutions. Having used the Canon product and interacted with their service personnel for the last 11 years, staff is impressed with their product quality and service expertise. Service: As these units are drastically different in function than the existing analog units, Canon has agreed to negotiate a service contract after the initial 90 day warranty period to determine our estimated monthly usage/costs. The service contract will be comparable with what we pay for service now. Funding: Funding for these purchases is from the Equipment Replacement Fund. All of the machines are replacements for existing equipment. Funds totaling $52,858 have been set aside for the replacement of these machines. In order to cover the additional costs of the digital equipment an appropriation in the amount of $19,702 is needed to complete the purchase. The equipment is part of the county bid and a copy of the face sheet of the bid document•is attached. Based on this analysis, we recommend that the City Council authorize the replacement of all equipment as noted in the attached spreadsheet in order that all departments may be integrated into a computer networked system.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE PLUMBING CODE (CHAPTER 15.16) TO REQUIRE THE RETROFITTING OF GREASE REMOVAL SYSTEMS FOR FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS, PROVIDING FOR ANNUAL INSPECTION OF GREASE RECOVERY SYSTEMS IN ALL FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS AND AMENDING THE. HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach'does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council hereby finds as -follows: A. Cooking grease produced by restaurants and other businesses discharged into the City's sewer system causes sewer line blockages, which in turn create a number of problems such as: • Sewer backups and overflows, which are offensive and a threat to public health; • Discharge of backed -up sewage into storm drains, which degrades water quality in water courses and the ocean; • The need for repeated and costly unclogging of city sewer lines; • Breakage and reduced life of sewer lines, creating additional costs for the City and sewer users; • Excessive grease sent to the wastewater treatment facility, which can overload the system and cause the facility to exceed its allowable discharge limits. B. Grease recovery systems address the foregoing problems by capturing fats, oil, and grease ("FOG") from the flow of wastewater by the action of slowing down the flow of hot greasy water through the grease trap and allowing it to cool and collect. The cooler water continues to flow down the drainpipe, while baffles or filters prevent the accumulated grease and oil from flowing into the sewer. C. The adoption of an ordinance to require existing restaurants and other businesses and institutional uses with commercial kitchens to install grease recovery systems, and to provide for annual inspection of grease recovery systems in all commercial kitchens in the City serves to implement the City's permit obligations under the applicable National Pollution .Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit, advances the goals of the federal Clean Water Act, and furthers the public health, safety and welfare of the City and its residents. 1 05-1250 • • SECTION 2.

Adopt- Resolution 05- , approving the 2005-2006 Budget BACKGROUND: A budget workshop was held in the Council Chambers on June 1, 2005. ANALYSIS: BUDGET OVERVIEW Points about the budget from the Workshop: • The General Fund budget as presented is balanced, as shown below, using operating transfers, which occur every year, and the planned transfer of $600,000 from the Retirement Stabilization Fund. • The Retirement Stabilization Fund was set upin anticipation of the large increases in retirement costs ($1.2m for 2005-06), which occurred primarily due to CaIPERS investment losses in past years. GENERAL FUND Revenue $18,965,910 Transfers In 2,549,605 $21,515,515 Appropriations 20,843,015 Transfer Out 700,000 Appropriation from prior designations* (27,500) $21,515,515 *$25,000 from American Express donation $ 2,500 from 24 Hour Fitness donation F:\B95\BUDGET\City Council Budget Adc a . 1 REVENUE Four sources of revenue make up 64% of General Fund Revenue - Secured Property Taxes, Sales Tax., Utility User Tax (UUT) and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). Changes in these four sources of revenue are as follows: The City is fortunate that, while the sales tax is declining -due to the loss of the -MW -dealership, property values continue to appreciate and UUT and TOT receipts are stable. ITEMS FROM WORKSHOP ON JUNE 1, 2005 Loma Improvement Fund Staff researched the balance available in the Loma Improvement Fund and finds that the project is complete and all claims are paid, therefore, pursuant to Section 10427 of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, the City Council may declare the fund surplus. Surplus funds may be 1) transferred to the General Fund if under $1,000 or 5% of improvement fund expenditures, whichever is less 2) credited to the assessment 3) used for maintenance of the improvement. Staff recommends that the City Council direct, pursuant to Section 10427.1 of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, that funds be credited to the assessment or returned to the payee if paid in cash. Work Plan Items In response to questions from the City Council, it was suggested that the issue of City Facility Improvements be added as a work plan item, with consideration of workshops and a citizen's committee to look at building needs and methods of financing. Parking that -would -serve Pier Avenue should be included. In addition, it was decided that the Pier Avenue Street Improvement Project should go to the Public Works Commission for focus meetings, with a plan to come back to the City Council. A consensus of the City Council, businesses and property owners is needed for development of the project. FEE INCREASES It is important to keep our fees and charges current in order to continue providing the same level of services that we offer currently and, in particular, to continue the work we have begun on the street improvement program. User Fees The City hired the firm of Maximus to update the City's user fee study. The study is in the final draft stage and will be presented to the City Council when complete. In the meantime, a conservative increase of $300,000 has been added to the budget for the increase in user fees.

F:\B95\BUDGET\City Council Budget Adoption 05-06.doc 2 Transient OccupannTax Staff recommends that the City Council consider placing a measure on the ballot of November 2005 that would provide authority for the City Council to increase the tax rate by 2%, up to a total of 12%. A 4/5 vote of the City Council is required to place it on the ballot. Staff will return with appropriate ordinances or resolutions if so directed. The current rate of 10% has been in effect since 1990. The tax is imposed on persons staying in hotels in the city for periods of 30 days or less. The revenue projected for 2005-06 is $1,450,000; therefore each 1% increase would generate $145,000 or a total of $290,000 if the rate were increased by 2%. An updated survey of nearby cities is attached as page 7. It should be noted that it is not the hotel that pays the tax, but the occupant of the hotel room. If the rate is changed by'2%, the increase in cost to someone staying in a room that costs $75.00 per night would be an additional $1.50. Business License -Increases Staff recommends that the City Council consider placing a measure on the ballot of November 2005 that would increase the business license tax. A 4/5 vote of the City Council is required to place it on the ballot. Staff will return with appropxiate_Q.rdinances. or resolutions if so directed. The business license tax rates were last changed by the City Council in 1985 and 1986 and approved by the voters in 1989. Amounts 'are adjusted by the CPI annually. The proposed changes include increases in the amount paid by contractors, increasing the rate for residential property rental and adding the category for rental of commercial property based on square footage, changing restaurants without beer, wine or alcohol to the gross receipts method of calculation; increasing the flat fee for restaurants with beer/wine/alcohol by 50%0;, increasing the gross receipts rate and consolidating them into single rate. The overall increase to revenue would be $324,460. A listing of business categoriesis attached on page. 8-10, showing the impact of the. changes. The following is a break down of the proposed changes: • Category. Present Rate Proposed Rate Contractors $206 $301 This proposed rate is based on the average of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance. No change is proposed for the category of"Sub-Contractor. This change is estimated to increase revenue by $37,475. A copy of the three other cities rates is attached as page 11. Category Present Rate Proposed Rate Rental Property $27 per unit ' $39 per unit This proposed rate increase is consistent with the proposal to increase the gross receipts rate. This change is estimated to increase revenue by $40,612. Category Present Rate Proposed Rate Commercial Property None Gross floor area over 5000sq ft -at Rate of $100 per .5000sq ft. This is a new category. Based on this proposed rate it is estimatedto generate $10,000 in additional revenue. The city previously required a business license and the calculation method is the same. Category Present Rate. Proposed Rate Restaurants without Alcohol Rates vary $100 min $2.00per $1000 over $10,000 3 F:\B95\BUDGET\City Council Budget Adoption 05-06.doc This change in calculation•uld generate an additional $31,146 Or the amount paid on the several rates now charged to restaurants. Category Present Rate Proposed Rate Restaurants with Beer/Wine/Alcohol Flat rates vary Increase flat rate by 50% This increase in rates would generate additional revenue of $34,393. This proposed rate increase is consistent with the proposal to increase the gross receipts rate. Gross Receipts Rate Change There are a number of gross receipt rates in the present ordinance. The proposal is to have one rate for all businesses on the gross receipts method of calculation. It is proposed that the rate be set at minimum of $100 for the first $10,000 and the $2.00 per $1000 for the amounts over $10,000. In additiomthe cap for businesses in A-1 is increased from $1100 to $2200. This impacts 8 auto sales businesses. The overall impact of changing the rate for these businesses is an increase in revenue of $170,834 per year. Fire Flow Fee The Fire Flow Fee was established in 1988 at a rate of $.50 per square foot of additional floor space. If the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is applied from 1989 forward to 2005, the rate would be $.83. Staff recommends that the fee be changed to $.80 per square foot, which will result in increased revenue of $52,776. Funds in the Fire Protection Fund are almost exhausted, with a fund balance projected at 6/30/06 of $9,647. Staff will return with appropriate ordinances or resolutions if so directed. Sewer Connection Fee The schedule attached on page 12 shows the current schedule of fees. The fees were last increased in 1996. The schedule also shows the effect of applying the CPI from 1996 forward. Staff will return with appropriate ordinances or resolutions if so directed. Park Recreation In Lieu Fee The current fee, set in 1991, is $5,198. If the CPI from 1991 forward is applied, the new fee would be $7,434. resulting in additional revenue of $27,890, based on our 2005-06 revenue estimate. Staff will return with appropriate ordinances or resolutions if so directed. Capital Improvement Proiects The 2005-06 Budget includes $5,549,000 in capital improvement projects. The projects by category are as follows: Street and Safety Improvements $3,200,000 Storm Drain Improvements $ 874,000 Park Improvements $ 275,000 Public Building/Grounds Improvements. $1,200,000 Total $5,549,000 4 F:\B95\BUDGET\City Council Budget Adoption 05-06.doc As mentioned earlier. order to continue our current level llapital improvements, it is necessary to ensure that our fees and charges are kept current. • A cautionary note: Almost 60% of the above amounts are based on estimates of the Capital Improvement Fund fund balance that will be available as of 7/1/2005. Typically when we have moved funds to the Capital Improvement Fund, amounts were actual balances rather than estimates. There is no problem moving forward as we recommend as long as it is recognized that actual amounts may differ and as long as the funds are appropriated conservatively.

After dark,, Hermosa boasts a frenetic club scene. Sangria (closed Mon; 68 Pier; 310/376-4412) combines Mediterranean and nuevo Latino cul sines and hosts live jazz several nights per week.' g And the Comedy & Magic Club (dosed Mon; 1018 Hermosa; 310/372-1193) is the place to catch both rising stars and headliners.• • MYRIAD ras HERMOSA BEACH 2004 MEDIA SCHEDULE Note: 2004 Feb Mar Apr May Sept Oct .

"From the 1940s to 1960s, almost every legendary surfer had ties to Hermosa Beach," says John. Joseph, a veteran champion" surfer and resident. "This was the original Surf City," he says of the 1.3 - mile stretch of coastline just 10 miles south of Los Angeles. -Surfboard shops lined The Strand, producing 1,000 boards a week, and Body Glove and other local ,companies pioneered neoprene wet suits that still set the global standard. Changing tide patterns and water pollution pushed Hermosa into the shadows of its more happening neigh- bors, Manhattan and Venice beaches—until recently. Today, Hermosa boasts one of the cleanest coasts in Southern California, and the town is reemerging as an affordable family -travel destination. ' The drive down palmy Pier Avenue spills onto the town square and the 104 -year-old Hermosa Pier. Boutiques selling surf wear, antiques, and knick- knacks line the streets. At dusk, lights sparkle from tree fronds, and young, suntanned crowds. mingle on Pier Avenue at Aloha Sharkeez. sports bar and Patrick Malloy's. Nearby,The Strand—an impressive beach- front path that runs south from Santa Monica—is home to old- school haunts such as the retro Mermaid and its neighbor, The Poop Deck. Hermosa also boasts the upscale, 96 -room Beach House Hotel. Suites with impossibly • co t ortable beds and Frette linensfeature wood -burning fireplaces and a private balcony or patio. Most look onto a beach where strapping young lads set up volleyball nets and reenact, scenes from Top Gun. If watching this spectacle proves too taxing, a retreat to the bath's spa tub reveals a generous stash of Aveda prod- ucts and a token rubber ducky For those in need of serious downtime, an in-house spa offers massages, facials, and body wraps. Of course, Hermosa is best experienced out-of-doors. For a Zen experience, the hotel. can arrange a waterside yoga session. These days the surf here is not too strong, so more vigorous activities include boogie -boarding and swimming. Hotel neighbor Hermosa Cyclery rents out beach cruisers, perfect for heading north on The Strand alongside Rollerbladers, skateboarders, strollers,. and joggers.

Another venue generating a lot of buzz is Gallery C, with its sophisticated exhibits and works of emerging artists. Hermosa Beach beckons as an anytime destination. Despite the typically balmy weather that pays little attention to seasons, Santa still makes an appearance in December, arriving on the, pier in a fire truck. The town hosts a large arts -and -crafts festival. on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. On Sunday nights, June through- September, beach chairs crowd the shoreline for sunset- concerts. Many visitors mark their calendars for the Aloha Days of Surf Festival each August. The beaches fill with volleyball tournaments, while area lifeguards compete in swimming races near the pier. As the sun sets, a handful of local legends are inducted into the Hermosa Beach Surfing Hall of Fame. Last summer, two beloved local businessmen, twins Bob and Bill Meistrell, accepted their awards. Now retired, they started Body Glove in Hermosa Beach and remain active philanthropists dedicated to the area's renewal.

"The circulation of the magazine is 10 million, and we've got people from rural areas and from big cities. We needed to not pick some exclusive beach that you can only get to if you live there, but something that was really accessible to a lot of peo- ple," said Young. "Obviously, beaches in Hawaii are terrific but you've got to have about $2,000 just togetfrom the mainland to Hawaii. There are some terrific beaches in Florida, but again, not everyone can travel there. 11 A-117 7 7, a r) r1' --•. "Hermosa was really waling to us be- cause it was near a big city and on a good traffic day you can get to Los Angeles from Hermosa in about a half-hour. It's a beach where there is sort of something for every- one. There's the classic California • beach culture with volleyball, surfing and things like that; but it's also a very family -friendly and kid -friendly beach, and it has great sand." The small feature states, "Hawaii's beaches are the unquestionable champs, but our pick for. best continental U.S. sand is Hermosa Beach, an hour's drive from downtown L.A. Hermosa is Spanish for 'beautiful' and this laid-back oasis fits the bill, boasting 1.5 miles of sparkling white sand, a boardwalk (`The Strand') and the watersof the Pacific. No surprise that it made the Travel Channel's list of America's Best Beaches. Serious volleyball ;abounds; there's .year-round surfing for those who'd like to shoot the curl. Stroll, bike, or blade down the boardwalk; or just relax, and soak up the sun. It's all good." According to Young, Hermosa Beach is a selection in the publication's first list of 100 best things about America. The maga- zine has 40 million readers and given such a large circulation size, it could afford to put together a "Best Of' list. Virtually every r staff member contributed to the special fea- Iture in some way and the magazine spent '. several weeks brainstorming the different categories. Once the categories were set, each staff member researched the best of i. their assigned categories by consulting with experts in the particular fields. - "Weput together the special section ' within the magazine and there are also fea- tures, " said Young. "The special section is I mostly made up of little items but within !:. the magazine there are also features mostly about people who we picked as the best. For example, there is an ER staff in Baltimore that is unfortunately right in the middle of a high -crime area, but they have learned to treat gunshot wounds like nobody else, so (Please turn to Page 24) Best each (Continued from Page 22) theinnovations they have come up with by necessity have, in turn, helped people with gunshot wounds survive all over the coun- try and all over the world. So it's really a collection of things with a lot of cool items that we came up with that were really great and surprising, and one of them was 'Best Beach'" ' According to the Hermosa Beach .Cham- ber of Commerce, Hermosa Beach was founded April 1, 1901, and the first pier was built in 1904 entirely out of wood, ex- tending 500 feet out into the ocean. Her- mosa Avenue was the first street paved and The Strand was constructed out of wooden planks. The entire city of Hermosa Beach is about 1.3 square miles with a population of about 20,000. "The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Com- merce and Visitors Bureau is especially pleased with this national recognition by the. Reader's Digest, which has the largest circulation of any magazine in the country," said the chamber's executive director, Carla Merriman. "The magazine is read by sen- iors and young families,both groups being in the target market for the chamber's cur- rent advertising. campaign. Our organiza- tion has spent $90,000 of our own funds to promote Hermosa Beach as a tourist desti- nation in Sunset Magazine and Sunday newspaper travel sections in the five -county area. It looks like our efforts have paid off." / 34 �., 14,Alteagc WaterFront BEST BEACH: ,..in the continental US, that , is. Readers Digest named Hermosa's ,1.3 miles of, sparkling white sand, boardwalk and the waters of the Pacific the best continental U.S. beach. Tipping its hat to Hawaii's unquestion- able superiority, the magazine called Hermosa a "laid-back oasis." 'Now the rest of the country knows what our res- idents have known for years,' said Carla Merriman, executive director of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. BEST BEACH II: In a related honor, last year The 'Navel Channel named Hermosa the best beach town in America. It seems the town's $20,000 marketing campaign is paying off, Merriman said. "ONE OF THE TEN BEST BEACHES IN THE USA" — The Travel Channel `THE BEST BEACH IN AMERICA" — Reader's Digest Hermosa Beach; November 0l st, 2004 The accolades for Hermosa Beach just keep coming. The Travel Channel has named Hermosa Beach as the "Best Beach Town in the U.S.A.° and Reader's Digest recently named this Southern California gem as the "Best Beach in America." A sun -drenched beach village, Hermosa Beach sits at the edge of the Pacific, 5 miles south of Los Angeles. The town is the very essence of the SouthernCalifornia lifestyle.. Its spectacular coastline, wide sandy beach, rich history and specialty shops make this community a favorite with Califomians.

Daytime activities abound in this vacation haven for the surf andturf lovers. Hermosa Beach's one and a half mile stretch of sand is the training ground for some of the world's best pro -circuit volleyball players. Olympian Gold Medalists hone their skills at the net, while amateurs meet after work to play on sunset evenings. It is also an ideal place for surfing enthusiasts, boogie boarders, ocean swimming, and fishing from the pier. Those who wish for more relaxing pursuits build sand castles, enjoy the antics of pelicans and dolphins, sun themselves in the year-round breezes, and stake out a place to view each evening's spectacular show asthe sun drops into the Pacific. 35 • • However, Hermosa Beach is much more than a beach. You'll also find culture in many flavors with three art galleries, live theatre at the Hermosa Playhouse, and the famous Comedy and Magic Club where Jay Leno performs every Sunday night and such famous names as Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher drop by regularly for an impromptu appearance. This lively beach village also offers up live music with choices from rock to blues to jazz on weekends. Festivals and special events abound in Hermosa all year-round. In March, the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival fills the streets with revelers and the whole town becomes "Irish" for the day. The summer brings groups like Little Anthony and the Imperials or the Drifters for the whole family to enjoy. The "Aloha Days Festival" happens every August, and features a surfing competition and Polynesian crafts, music, and dance. The three-day weekends of Memorial Day and Labor Day bring thousands of visitors to "Fiesta Hermosa". This street fair, which has been a tradition for 31 years, features 270 crafters and artists, a kiddie' carnival complete with a petting zoo and pony rides, a restaurant cantina with international cuisine, and two soundstages with live, bands performing all day long. The energy and excitement that enlivens Hermosa Beach during the daytime moves, into high gear when the sun sets. Hermosa Beach is well known for its happening nightlife, which includes dancing the night away, meeting at.a favorite pub, or sampling, the delicious fare at one of Hermosa's many seafood and ethnic restaurants.

To educate, organize and promote business, and 2)., To,contribute to the economic development of Hermosa Beach by y selling, marketing, and promoting the city as a year-round destination. History The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce was founded on October 10, 1912, and has served the community as a business leader for the past 89 years'. A membership of over 350 businesses and individuals involved in the hospitality industry serve the needs of the town's visitors. In 2000, the name of the organization was officially changed to the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. While performing the functions of both a Chamber and a Bureau, the name was changed to emphasize the organization's role as the community's only private, non-profit destination marketing organization. Services The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau handles queries and questions from local, domestic, and international visitors. In 1999, the Chamber: • Developed and implemented a website promoting Hermosa Beach as a destination, providing tourism information and assistance • Distributed 516 free tourismpackages requested by phone, mail, fax, and email. These packages contained hotel, dining, entertainment, and business referrals to potential visitors • Assisted 3,073 walk-in visitors to the Chamber office • Referred by telephone/mail 1,300 visitors to local hotels • Situation Analysis The City of Hermosa Beach is 1.3 square miles in size, has 18,219 residents as measured in the 1990 census, and is located 17 miles southwest of Los Angeles on the southernend of Santa Monica Bay. It was founded on April 1, 1901, by C.L. Reinbolt of the. Hermosa Beach Land and Water Company, and incorporated six years later. Its elevation is 0 to 200 feet above sea level, with the average temperature of 74 degrees in summer and 55 degrees in winter. According to thecensus, the median age of residents is 30 years of age, with over half being college educated. The average family income is'$54,000. Considered the most attractive beach city to young singles, the popularity of tiny Hermosa Beach is due to its shoreline and summer recreation opportunities. A densely populated bedroom community, the city has no large employers or companies. The city is primarily known for its historic beach -side commercial downtown, crowned by the traffic free mall of Pier Plaza- It maintains a low scale character and is home to a host of popular stores, restaurants, nightclubs and bars, both old and new. These include the Comedy and Magic Club, Hermosa Beach Playhouse, restaurants and cafes on Pier Plaia, and dining choices on upper Pier, Hermosa Avenue, and on Pacific Coast Highway. At night a vibrancy emerges, combiningdining, shopping, music, dancing, and entertainment with everyone's favorite pastime - people watching. All these activities focus in the central district, within a short walk of the beach, public parking lots, and residential neighborhoods. The downtown has found a recent resurgence in commercial reinvestment with the renovation of Pier Plaza, WAVE buses, a taxi stand, and a new parking structure. Tourist Attractions Hermosa Beach is well known to young singles 20 to 30 years of age as a great place to dine, dance, listen to music, and shop. It is also popular with tourists 25-54 years of age, who want a low-key environment that encompasses all these activities within a few blocks of one another. While the town is home to great weather and activities all year long, summer is when the city becomes the beach town all Southern Californians have grown to love. The City's festivities include the Memorial Day and Labor Day Fiestas, Mervyn's Beach Bash, South Bay Surf Festival, Aloha Days, Project Touch Car Show, men and women's beach volleyball tournaments, and year-round bicycling, in-line skating, and jogging paths on the Strand'. In addition, the newly re -opened pier provides fishing enthusiasts with a good catch all year long. Sunbathers and surfers find the beautiful mile -long beach the most attractive of all outdoor activities. • S These activities, combined with the pubs, restaurants, clubs, and shops combine to make Hermosa Beach the perfect beach town for Southern Californians and foreign tourists.. The town boasts over 20 excellent restaurants and a variety of ethnic cuisines, including Seafood, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Cajun, Hawaiian, and Regional American. Logistics Hermosa Beach is 4 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport and 7 miles southeast of Torrance Municipal Airport. It can also be reached by the Rapid Transit System (RTD), WAVE buses, and other local shuttle systems. Most importantly, Hermosa Beach is just three hours drive from the Inland Empire, San Diego, and Central California. The city is accessible from the 405 and 91 freeways, which interconnect to the 101,110, 134, and 5 freeways. The Destination. Hermosa Beach should be recognized as a California resort destination. The City itself offers many advantages for tourism development and small group meetings. With 23..8 million travelers visiting the Los Angeles area in 1999, many are in need of a weekend respite or day trip to an outlying area such as Hermosa Beach. These potential customers need information about Hermosa Beach as a travel destination within greater Los Angeles. Strengths . and Weaknesses In working to fulfill its mission, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau has both .strengths and weaknesses, which are outlined. below: Strengths Weaknesses Beautiful beach Name Recognition Small size ; Lack of Major Funding Six hotels Inadequate housing for conventions Web Site Lack of Advertising Program Great location Unknown to tourists in and out-of-state Resort attractions Seasonality and Weather , Nightlife No charters or sailing opportunities Restaurants Limited cultural opportunities Safety Sleepy little town in daytime Competitive Position To those visitors for whom Hermosa Beach is a day trip, the City competes with other Southern California attractions: Attraction Competitors 1. Local theme parks 2. Other beach communities 3. Skiing 4. Aquariums 5. Museums 6. Street fairs and festivals 7. Zoos 8. Hollywood/Beverly Hills 5 • . • To those visitors who visit a destination for three or four nights, the City competes with other tourist destinations: Destination Competitors , 1. Other beach communities 2. Other resort communities in Southern California 3. Northern California resort destinations 4. Catalina Island 5. Las- Vegas 6. Santa Barbara 7. San Diego 8. Palm Springs 9. Ventura/Oxnard 10. San Francisco 11. Mountain resorts. 12. Disneyland 13. National Parks 14. Baja California Competitor Destination Marketing Resources The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau is best equipped to compete only for the tourist who wishes to visit Southern California by car travel, and within a three hour travel timetable. The travelers include both day tourists (families with children) and weekenders (couples). According to the Western Association of Chamber Executives 2000 Research, as many as 80% of all California vacationers plan several three or four day getaways per year within four hours drive from their homes. According to a budget survey conducted by the Western Association of Convention & Visitors Bureaus in March 2000, marketing funding for our Southern California competitors is as follows: Bureau U Rooms - TOT Collected % of TOT to Bureau TOT to Bureau Redondo -Bea h 1,000 S 2,400,000 1.0% S 240,000 Santa Monica 3,400 $16,500,000 6.0•% $ 986,000 ,Catalina 1,000 S 1,850,000 22.0% $ 407,000 Newport Beach 3,000 S 8,000,000 12.6% $ 1,005,000 Santa Barbara 3,114 S 9,000,000 10.8% $ 969,866 Long Beach 5,000 $12,000,000 30.0 % $ 3,600,000 Marina Del Rey 1,000 S 2,320,000 28.0% $ 650,000 San Diego 45,285 $99,000,000 13.2% $ 13,096,500 Anaheim 48,450 $47,000,000 9.4% S 4,400,000 C. 6 Target Audience While weather is a factor that influences visitation to Hermosa Beach, it also influences visitation to ALL Southern California destinations and attractions. Southern California's weather is pretty much the same from Santa Barbara to San Diego. So when it is beautiful in Hermosa Beach, it's also beautiful in our competitors' communities. The Southern California perspective on tourism is a powerful and convincing argument. Copely International Corporation (CIC) Research, Inc. of San Diego, a tourism research firm that has six California Visitors Bureau clients including the L.A. Convention and Visitors Bureau, cites that of the 33.3 million people who live in California, 20.3 million people live in Southern California. Southern California is responsible for 60% of the State's overnight tourism, and as much as 85% of Southern California tourism occurs in L.A., Orange, and San Diego counties. In addition, CIC provides the following breakouts: 12% of overnight visitors are from Northern California, 86% of all visitors are predominately from the Western States, 14% of our visitors are international, ;and 79% of visitors are traveling for leisure rather than for work. Families with children primarily prefer day trips, and couples prefer 3 to ,4 day getaways. Our primary target markets are three -fold: 1). Singles and couples for daytrips, and 2). Families with parents between the ages of 25 and 54 with an average household income of more than $45,000, and 3.) LAX business travelers. Females are the primary vacation planner and decision maker for trips of 3 to 4 days.: Seniors and the youth market are secondary in importance, and will probably not be considered in our initial marketing proposal. 7 • . .

Weaver's North End Bar & Grill Sangria • Marketing Programs Showcase Advertising Showcase Advertising International, Inc. has developed a computerized, interactive touchscreen concierge system for use by hotel concierges as well as guests at hotels. The system provides accurate and useful information free of charge on cultural events, parks, theatres, sporting events, museums, theme parks, services, transportation, shopping areas and restaurants. To date, the system is installed in 25 Southern California hotels, listed below. They are scheduled to install another 25 hotels by end of April 2001 and plan to install a total of 80 by the end of 2001. The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce: and Visitors Bureau has negotiated a discount for group participation in the touchscreen concierge system. For a total of $4,800, the HBCCVB would receive a produced video montage of Hermosa Beach that would air on 10 local hotel systems for one year in order to promote the city's events and attractions. The negotiated price for a shop or restaurant to run its own promotional screen is $325 witha minimum of three screens ($975) for one year, rather than the list price of $365 per screen. A "touch link" from the Hermosa Beach home page to the vendor page will be provided. Each page of the system can be printed out by the user. Additional information, such as menus and maps can be inserted in the system for each advertiser. Information can be updated weekly or monthly as needed.

Myriad Travel marketing proposes an integrated marketing campaign, encompassing the following key marketing activities: • Print Advertising • Direct mail • . 'Public Relations • Rack Cards Each element would incorporate both strategic and tactical information as well as a response mechanism featuring the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau phone number and website address: The following is a breakdown of each category: Print Advertising Print advertising would allow us to reach our audiences in key targeted areas and allow us to present a clear, consistent message with a "call to action" for more information. Specifically, media advertising would be concentrated in leading consumer Travel magazines and Lifestyle magazines. These magazines have a wide circulation, and a relatively long "shelf life" allowing the Hermosa Beach message to be seen by a lot of potential travelers over a prolonged period of time. Publications to be targeted would include The Los Angeles Sunday Travel Section and: "Westways" and "Via" are the official magazines of Southern and Northern California AAA, published bi-monthly, with a combined circulation of 5,535,000 copies. The magazines have an extensive advertising section aimed a California regions, and are a very cost-effective way to reach a huge potential audience. "Sunset" is the leading lifestyle magazine for the Western USA, primarily middle aged oriented with a subscription base of 1.4 million households. "California" is the official Visitors Guide to the State, distributed by the California Department of Tourism. 400,000 copies are distributed annually, with an estimated readership of 1.9 million, 11 Direct Mail Direct mail allows us the opportunity to present motivational information into the hands of targeted potential visitors to Hermosa Beach. A direct mail "mini -brochure" can also act as an additional fulfillment piece to the Bureau's advertising efforts and an accompaniment to the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau Business Directory. The "self mailer" brochure can be mailed and distributed to a variety of sources including: • Current advertising responses • Past advertising responses • Internet inquiries • ` Hotel databases • Trade shows We propose that a motivational brochure be created that highlights all the sites and activities in Hermosa Beach. This piece will be used as the primary motivational piece for the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. Public Relations A public relations campaign can be one of the most effective forms of marketing. Through the use of press releases, liaisons with travel writers, and general promotional activities, the Chamber can build long-term recognition with potential travelers. A schedule of quarterly Press Releases would be established. They will focus on subjects relative to promoting the general "experience" of a visit to Hermosa Beach as well as specific activities. throughout the year. Such topics could include: • "Hermosa Beach...A Great Place to Stay" "Hermosa and her Festivals" "Ten Great Ways to Discover Hermosa Beach" Press Releases would be sent to 100 targeted Regional and State newspapers, and 75 key Consumer and Trade publications. 12 Stack Cards Ne propose that a "Rack Card" be created for Hermosa Beach. This card would iighlight the attractions as well as featuring practical information: such as how to get dere, driving distances, and proximity to major LA attractions. ['he "Rack. Card" would be distributed on an on-going basis to 470 locations including iotel, car rental companies, restaurants, and specialty shops in the following key areas:: • Los Angeles (144 locations) LAX/South Bay/Long Beach (153 locations) • San Fernando Valley (90 locations) • Inland Empire (83 locations) k total of 100,000 Rack Cards would be produced for monthly distribution to these )utlets. 13 • Proposed Advertising & Public Relations Budget Print Advertising • Production of advertising • Placement of advertising Direct Mail • Layout of 6 to 8 page brochure • Production of brochure • Printing of brochure Public Relations • Research • Writing of 4 releases • Mailing Rack Cards • Production of cards • Printing of cards • Monthly distribution (9 months) Agency Fee • Development of Concepts • Creative design of Ads • Creative design of Brochure • Media research and selection • Copy writing • Account management HBCC StaiTHours • 700 hours of staff time (4 %2 months) $23,000 $16,000 $8,000 $13,000 $15,000 $15,000 Total Budget $90,000 14 PROJECTED REVENUES"— VISITORS BUREAU PLAN Here is the formula that Myriad Travel Marketing uses to predict results to an advertising campaign: $60,000 will be spent in advertising. This includes print ads, public relations travel section stories, rack cards, and a direct response brochure mailed to targeted customers. The agency uses a formula that is based on $5 (of advertising dollars) per response., This means we can count on 12,000 responses to our advertising. Then, a 15% conversion (to customers) rate is applied., This results in 1,800 customers. Because most travelers do not travel alone, we can multiply 1,800 customers by 1.5 This results in 2,700 visitors with an average stay of 2.5. days. This converts to 6,750 nights of stay based on our advertising campaign. 6,750 nights of stay multiplied by the average of $100 room rate equals $675,000. The 10% TOT tax on this total is $67,500, which would go to the City of Hermosa Beach. These same 2,700 visitors would spend $75 per day multiplied by 25 days, which is $187.50 per visitor times 2,700 visitors. This totals $506,250. The City of Hermosa Beach makes 1% of the 8% sales tax on the 506,250. This totals $5,062.50 The total income to Hermosa Beach is $67,500 in TOT tax plus $5,062.50 in city tax equaling `$ 72,562.50. This is a very conservative estimate, especially because we have not figured in repeat visitors, or visitors who stay longer than 2.5 days. But all told, for an initial investment of $85,000 for the first year of this program, the City of Hermosa Beach will have a return on their investment at a minimum of $ 72,562.50 and an expenditure of only $12,437.50. The success of this program in future years should grow incrementally, due to exposure of Hermosa Beach as a "travel destination". As with all advertising campaigns, repeated exposures will bring increased consumer recognition, increased results, and increased profitability. -15- .r; Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council June 2, 2005 City Council Meeting of June 14, 2005 ADOPTION OF THE 2005- 2006 APPROPRIATION LIMIT Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 05- setting ,the 2005 - 2006 appropriations limit. Background: In November of 1979, Article XIII B of the California State Constitution was added by the voters through Proposition 4. This Article established limits, using a formula, on state and local governments for appropriation of revenue from tax proceeds. On June 5, 1990, Proposition 111, modified the method of calculating the limit, beginning with fiscal year 1990-91, to allow the City to choose the most beneficial of two adjustment factors for inflation and population as follows: Inflation California Per Capita Personal Income change or Increase in Non -Residential Assessed Valuation Due to New Construction. Population City Population Growth or County Population Growth. Proposition 111 also implemented a requirement that our Appropriation Limit be reviewed annually by our independent auditor. Analysis: The 2005-2006 limit was calculated, per the League of California Cities Uniform Guidelines, by applying the population and inflation factors to the prior year limit. The County of Los Angeles Population Change of 1.18% was used as the population growth factor since it is greater than the population increase of .27% for the City. The increase of 5.26% for California Per Capita Personal Income change was used as the inflation factor since the other growth factor for inflation, the Increase in Non -Residential Assessed Valuation Due to New Construction is .43%. The factor with the largest change is always chosen to give the City maximum discretion with regard to appropriations. The law requires adoption of the 2005-2006 limit by resolution and a recorded vote of' the Council to select annual adjustment factors. The choice is set forth in the attached resolution.

Conduct a Public Hearing in connection with the levy of assessments for fiscal year 2005-2006; and 2. Adopt the attached Resolution confirming the diagram and assessment for Hermosa Beach Landscaping & Street Lighting District 2005-2006 ("District") and levying an assessment for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2005 and ending June 30, 2006. Background: As required by law, the following steps have been taken for the levy and collection of assessments for fiscal year 2005-2006 within the District: 1. April 12, 2005: The City Council adopted Resolution No. 05-6385 ordering the preparation of a report for the District. 2. May 17, 2005: The Director of Public Works filed with the City Clerk the report consisting of, among other things, the assessment diagram and assessment roll for the District. 3. May 24, 2005: The City Council adopted Resolution No. 05-6391 approving the report of the Director of Public Works. 4. May 24, 2005: The City Council adopted Resolution No. 05-6392 setting June 14, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. as thedate and time for public hearing in order to accept public input on the District. 5. June 2, 2005: Notice of the Public Hearing was given by publishing a public notice in the Easy Reader. Analysis: The District assessment funds the cost of maintaining and operating street lights, traffic signals and landscaping located within parkways or medians. The proposed • • assessment rate for fiscal year 2005-2006 is $41.45 per equivalent dwelling unit, the same equivalent dwelling unit rate as used in fiscal year 2004-2005 to finance those improvements. The assessment is based on the actual number of dwelling units that are on a property (or their equivalent for vacant and commercial properties). This surplus of District funds was available to cover the increasing costs of services up until fiscal year 03=04. The 04-05 budget had a projected deficit of $141,738, which was funded by a transfer from the General Fund. Only $52,622 of the transfer was actually used, leaving $89,116 available from the transfer in the District Fund. Without the transfer from the General Fund, there would be a deficit of $35,117 for 2005-06. Adoption of the attached resolution constitutes the levy of an assessment for FY 2005- • 2006. Alternatives: 1. Approve Staffs recommendation. 2. Let the District lapse; thereby causing a potential increase in General Fund obligations of $455,204. 3.

Receive and file this report BACKGROUND June 2, 2005 Regular meeting of June 14, 2005 FOR THE The 4th of July continues to be a very popular holiday.for Hermosa Beach. Thousands of people come from out of town to party in Hermosa. The fireworks show in Redondo Beach serves as an added attraction asmany people come to Hermosa to watch the show from the beach. Traditionally, the police department encounters large crowds at neighborhood parties especially along the Strand. The most active part of the day begins around 3:00 PM and continues till mid- night. The largest concentrations of people are found along the Strand to Hermosa Avenue running the full length of the City. Officers are running from call to call and officers initiate a number of subject stops issuing citations and making arrests primarily for public intoxication and fighting. Last year July 4th fell on a Sunday. Officers handled 331 calls for service on the 4th last year (there were 671 calls for service for the entire weekend). There were 45 total arrests for the weekend with 16 arrests on the 4th. Officers issued 181 citations for the entire holiday weekend. Since July 4th, 2001 the police department has deployed all available officers to work in uniform on the 4th. This includes detectives and the command staff (including myself). Additionally, the police department has enlisted the services of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on the July 4th holiday. A request has been made already for a total of 12 deputy sheriffs to augment existing staff. The strategy has been and. continues to be the visible presence of a large uniformed force on the July 4th holiday. The strategy is two fold. First, it is our desire that law abiding citizens see the large number of officers and feel safe as a result of that presence. Second, it is our hope that rowdy and disruptive individuals seeing the large number of officers, might think twice about causing problems or even staying in Hermosa Beach. Many officers are deployed along the Strandand the Plaza to monitor activities while other officers are assigned in squads as rapid deployment groups. If a problem develops, `the tactic is to flood the area with officers, stop the problem and make arrests as necessary. This flooding of officers into an'area has a real calming effect upon the crowd and dissipates tensions from escalating further. . The police department also monitors the traditional "Ironman" event usually held in the northern part of the City around 11:00-12:00PM in the morning. Last year's Ironman went very smoothly and required no police intervention. Our officers along with officers from the Manhattan Beach and El Segundo Police Departments monitored the event. The drinking portion of the event took place on private property (2634 The Strand) and the organizers promptly cleaned up after the event was over. It was noted last year that there were fewer alcohol violations on the Strand and in the Downtown area than in years past. Efforts were made to step up enforcement of alcohol violations on the Beach and Strand in the weeks prior to the July 4th holiday. An electronic message board was also set up on the plaza advertising the. tripling of fines associated with alcohol use. The police department is already deploying a weekend beach patrol to step up enforcement of alcohol violations and to monitor speed violations on the Strand. The message board will be deployed once again. Large floodlights are also set up in the downtown area and are activated at the conclusion of the fireworks show in Redondo Beach. The lights keep most of the Plaza illuminated assisting with our efforts to monitor activities on the Plaza. This will be the fifth year that the police department has deployed large numbers of officers on the July 4th holiday. It has been our hope that this practice has slowly modified the behavior of the crowds for the better. The fire department will hire additional personnel to fully staff Engine 12 enabling July 4th response, to be two fully staffed paramedic fire engines, one paramedic Advanced Life Support ambulance, and one Basic Life Support ambulance. In addition two additional Reserve Firefighters will be on duty and assigned as needed. McCormick's Ambulance has again agreed to supply one Basic Life Support ambulance on "standby" in the city for the day. Two fire department arson investigators will be assigned to conduct field operations from 2 PM till 2 AM specifically targeting illegal firework activity. If necessary the fire department will receive assistance through automatic aid agreements with Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach Fire Departments. Respectfully submitted, Concur: MICHAEL ,...CHIEF OF POLICE ST PHEN BURRELL CITY MANAGER HERMOSA : • CH POLICE DEPARTMENT RUSSELL TINGLEY, FIRE CHIEF HERMOSA BEACH FIRE DEPARTMENT • Thursday, June 9, 2005 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Ka -6p ser• ve cQ irwt— mu) Regular meeting of June 14, 2005 AMBULANCE TRANSPORT PROGRAM BACKGROUND During 2004-05 budget deliberations, staff recommended that ambulance transport services be analyzed to determine if there were ways to increase fire service to the community without decreasing net income from the ambulance transport service we provide now. Preliminary analysis indicated that the City might be able to increase fire services by privatizing ambulance transport and shifting personnel to staffing of a second engine company for fire response. At it's regularly scheduled meeting on December 14, 2004, Council directed staff to solicit proposals for private ambulance transport service. There were two respondents to the request for proposals. We thank both Gerber Ambulance Service and Westmed Ambulance Inc. for delivering their proposals to us. ANALYSIS Both respondents essentially proposed identical "pass-through" monies using the maximum allowable Los Angeles County general public ambulance rates. Gerber Ambulance Service did further propose to collect from the City a 6% service fee plus postage costs beginning with the second year of the contract. Using our fiscal year of 2003/04 as a base for patient transports, it is estimated that approximately a net revenue of $117,819 from a private provider could be realized by outsourcing the ambulance transport service. Currently, the City bills non-residents $561 and residents $281 for ambulance transport. The City is indirectly subsidizing insurance companies by not billing the maximum rate payable by insurance coverage. The most recent draft User Fee Study recommends a charge of $773 for all patient transports, resident and non- resident alike. Staff recommends the adoption of the new user fee. Staff also recommends that billing should be handled by a third -party billing firm. Both Manhattan Beach and El Segundo use a private billing company who is expert in the field, thereby increasing collections and increasing productivity by relieving 6b • • staff to do other work. Wittman Enterprise has advised that they will offer us the same rate as they do the City of El Segundo which is a 6.5% fee for billing services even though we have less annual transports. Wittman charges Manhattan Beach 7.5%. Using the recommended user fee of $773 for all patient transports and outsourcing the billing to a third -party, it is estimated that the City's own operated ambulance transport program would net approximately $310,804 based on the fiscal year 2003/04. Privatization of ambulance transport services would eliminate the need for the City to continue vehicle charges and maintenance costs on the ambulances, and elimination of the Reserve Firefighter Program could also be considered. These costs are $66,862 annually which could be saved. Shifting of personnel to staff a second engine would result in promotions to Captain of three personnel with an added cost of $34,553 for the first year. This analysis has shown that it is not cost effective to outsource the ambulance transport program and it is not recommended to do so. The Firefighters' Association also approached Council at the December 14, 2004, meeting to consider the addition of 3 new positions of Firefighter/Paramedic to add staff to the fire department. A first year cost of $284,346 was associated with these additions. It is not recommended to add the expense of new personnel at this time. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council: 1) Continue with the City's own ambulance transport program. 2) Increase the ambulance transportation billing rate to the recommended User Fee Study of $773 for both residents and non-residents. 3) Authorize the purchase of two new ambulances. 4) Authorize the third -party billing services of Wittman Enterprises 5) Revisit additional staffing request after one full year of experience with new rates and billing services.

Adoption legitimizes the plan and. authorizes departments and their staffs to execute their responsibilities. BACKGROUND The federal Disaster Management Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), which amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, requires every local, county and state government to have an approved Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. In addition to minimizing the impact of future natural hazards on the community, completion of the Plan also maintains eligibility for future hazard mitigation funding following any significant disasters. As result of the DMA 2000 legislation, hazard mitigation is now considered to be the first step in preparing for emergencies, rather than the final step in recovery. The consequences of not having an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan are significant. Without one, the City will be ineligible for FEMA mitigation programs including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Flood Mitigation Assistance Program, and most importantly, potential loss of public assistance for repetitively damaged facilities following a disaster. As an example, the County of Los Angeles received approximately $500 million in FEMA mitigation money following the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Emergency Planning Consultants was contracted to assist the City, in drafting the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. A Planning Team was formed consisting of representatives from the Fire Department, Police Department, Community Development Department, Public Works Department, Planning Commission, and Area G - Disaster Management Area Coordinator. The Team met four times over a period of five months to examine the natural hazards impacting the community and draft mitigation actions. 6c • \ • Much of the information required for the Hazard Mitigation Plan already existed in City documents. The City's General Plan and Multi -Hazard Functional Plan contained much of the data and information required to prepare the Mitigation Plan. , Following FEMA's suggestions, the intradepartmental Planning Team developed and distributed a survey that verified respondents "concern level" over the natural hazards. The survey listed earthquakes, windstorms, tsunami, and flooding as the natural hazards posing the greatest threat, then asked the respondent to rank their level of concern about the hazard on a scale of "1-5". The City received 50 responses to the survey, which revealed the greatest concerns to be earthquakes, and tsunamis. Another critical component of the planning process was to conduct a public meeting opento all interested members of the community. That public meeting requirement is being met through tonight's consideration by the City Council. The public meeting was announced on the City's website. Review copies of the Plan were available at the Fire Station, Library, and City Clerk's Office. PLAN STRUCTURE The Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan documents the mitigation planning process including how it was developed, the planning timeframe, and who was involved in drafting the document. A risk assessment was conducted and details the type of natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. The Plan also includes information on previous, occurrences of hazard, events and the probability of future events. The City's critical facilities such as municipal facilities, hospitals, roadways, water, and utilities, and communications systems were assessed as to vulnerability. Demographic and land use data is also important in identifying present day and future vulnerabilities. Establish a mitigation strategy was the next step. The Mitigation Strategy outlines the jurisdiction's blueprint for reducing the potential losses identified in the risk' assessment, based on existing authorities, policies, programs, and resources, and its ability to expand on and improve these existing tools. FINDINGS The Plan identifies nearly one hundred mitigation action items. The mitigation action items are a range of activities aimed at minimizing the impact of natural hazards on the community and its vital resources. Although the City of Hermosa Beach is faced with the possibility of significant natural hazard events, its greatest vulnerability comes from the exponential population influx during tourist season and special events. To that end, it is critical that the City expand its existing emergency management program and activities. It would be impractical to maintain and staff the emergency response equipment necessary to be adequately prepared fora large-scale event on a heavily populated day; however it is possible to improve the capability of the City to communicate and coordinate with internal and 2 s external departments and agencies. Key to this improved capability is upgrading the City's existing Emergency Operations Center. Mitigation Action: Upgrading Emergency Operations Center According to FEMA, the development (or enhancement). of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) should include consideration of the following issues: a) Facility Features, b) Survivability, c) Security, d) Sustainability, e) Interoperability, and f) Flexibility. Facility Features covers the physical features of the EOC facilities in terms of its location, the structure of the building itself, and the availability of space. In this regard, the City's EOC is in a safe, reasonably accessible location, with a limited but acceptable amount of space. Survivability relates to the EOC's ability to survive the effects of one of the projected natural hazard events. The EOC is located in a structurally strong facility (Hermosa Beach Community Center) and is expected to survive the identified natural hazards. Security involves guarding against potential risks and protecting operations from the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information (e.g., have sufficient security and structural integrity to protect the facility, its occupants, and communications equipment and systems from relevant threats and hazards). This component will require further investment on the part of the City. Sustainability refers to ability of the organization to maintain operations for extended durations (e.g., be able to sustain operations 24/7 during all emergency situations without interruption). This component will require further investment on the part of the City. Interoperability is the sharing of common principles of operations and exchange of routine and time -sensitive information with local jurisdictions and other outside agencies (e.g. be able to communicate with key State agencies, local government EOCs, emergency response teams at or near an incident site). This component will require further investment on the part of the City. Improvements could improve development of standard operating procedures, purchase of interoperable communications devices, and staff training. . Flexibility refers to the ability to scale and adapt the operational pace to a particular hazard event (e.g. have sufficient space, 'equipment, furniture, administrative supplies, and the like available to satisfy mission requirements). This component will require further investment on the part of the City. This is the component in need of the most attention. It's important to note that during FY 2004, the Area G Disaster Management Area Coordinator developed and provided a vital resource to the City's EOC. Known as the EOC-In-A-Box, the contents include a wide range 'of administrative supplies and forms. Beyond those contents, a list of equipment has been identified that is needed in order to make the EOC fully functional. In addition, it is contemplated that the EOC • upgrade will result in a multi -use "conference room" space that could be used on a regular(basis by various City departments. EOC-related equipment would be secured in locked cabinets. Working with Emergency Planning Consultants, staff has conducted a capability assessment of the existing Emergency Operations Center. That assessment yielded an investment of approximately $70,000. This expenditure would result in an EOC that meets FEMA recommendations and would equipped to respond to an event occurring on a day with a surge in population. PLAN APPROVAL Following approval of the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan by the City Council, the Plan will be submitted to the State's Office of Emergency Services. " The OES staff will provide a preliminary review of the document and provide input back to the City on the suitability and adequacy of the Draft Plan. The Plan will then be forwarded to the FEMA Region IX staff for review and approval. Staff recommends that City Council approves Resolution which adopts the Natural. Hazards Mitigation Plan.

Pier Plaza. Background: The City Council, at the meeting of May 24, 2005, directed staff to return with a ordinance amending the municipal code by adding a new section setting an 80 foot rule and adding a section requiring all exterior doors and windows shall be closed while amplified music is being played in any establishment on Pier Plaza. There was some concern expressed by business operators following the meeting regarding daytime noise. This was in part answered at the May 24` meeting when one of the business owners asked could the windows and doors be open when there is no entertainment. The answer is yes. The existing CUP requirements and the proposed ordinance change provide for the closing windows and doors only while amplified music. is being played. There were also some comments regarding setting an evening time frame for the restrictions such as 10:00pm to 8:00am. Staff considered recommending a time frame for the noise restrictions but considering that the CUP's already cover this issue and the fact that staff has been made aware of complaints during weekend afternoons where the noise was very loud and was impacting the enjoyment of the Plaza by others in other businesses, time frame is not recommended for consideration at this time. These changes in combination with the CUP's, will provide clear, fair, simple rules for the businesses to follow and will be easily enforceable should that be necessary.

(KMA) reviewed the financial status of ,Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) in connection with the proposed assignment of certain telecommunication easement rights in the City of Hermosa Beach. Currently, Tyco International Ltd. operates a fiber optic cable line that runs through the City of Hermosa Beach. The company has a 25 -year agreement whereby Tyco pays the City $300,000 a year to operate the line. There are 23 years remaining on this agreement. Part of the agreement stipulates that Tyco may transfer its rights under the agreement to a different firm with the consent of the City, provided that the grantee will be financially responsible for the $300,000 a year payment under the agreement. Tyco has expressed its desire to sell this part of their operations to VSNL. To obtain the operation, VSNL must demonstrate that it has the financial strength to fulfill its obligation under the lease. Section 4.13, paragraph 5 states: "Grantor shall accept any assignee as reasonably capable of fulfilling the financial obligations of this Easement Agreement if the assignee's financial'capabilities equal or exceed those of the Grantee. Furthermore, Grantor shall not reject an assignee as not reasonably capable of fulfilling the financial obligations of this Easement Agreement for the sole reason that the assignee's financial capabilities are not equally as strong as those of the Grantor. The parties anticipate that potential assignees may be reasonably capable of fulfilling the obligations of the Easement Agreement even though they do not possess the financial strength of Grantee."

We have also reviewed, unaudited financial results through . December 31, 2004. We have compared these results with a similar filing of Tyco International as of April 1, 2005, the most recent available.' VSNL is a telecommunications company based in Mumbai, India. The company was incorporated on March 19, 1986, as a government-owned firm to operate international telecommunications. VSNL replaced the former Overseas Communications Service, a part of the Indian Ministry of Communications. The Indian Government began selling its holdings in the company to private buyers in 1992. In 2002, a large portion of government stock was sold to Panatone Finvest Limited, acompany within the Tata Group, a firm with -revenues of $14.25 billion through 91 operating companies. That same year, VSNL lost its monopoly status but was awarded.a license to provide domestic long distance, an ISP license and further compensation that continues to be negotiated. The following provides some comparative statistics for Tyco (1s' quarter 2005) and VSNL (fourth quarter 2004). Category Income Net Income Before Taxes Net Income After Taxes and Exceptional Items Tyco VSNL 1st Qtr 2005 4th Qtr 2004 $10,486,000,000 $198,000,000 $588,000,000 $29,000,000 $192,000,000 $33,000,000 Clearly VSNL is a substantially smaller company than Tyco International and therefore cannot be found to have financial capabilities equal or (which) exceed those of the Grantee. Since VSNL lost it's monopoly status in India, -it's revenue and profit has fallen dramatically as the company adapts into a competitive firm. VSNL had assets valued at $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion is 2003 and 2004, respectively. Liabilities were $381 million in 2003 and $343 million in 2004. Revenue in 2002 was $1.5 billion, $1 billion in 2003, and $743 million in 2004. Operating income was $308 million in 2002 and $122' million in 2003. VSNL suffered an operating income loss of $93 million in 2004. Net income for these three respective years was $220 million; $172 million, and a loss of $59 million. Absent a charge against income of $155 million for impairment of the value of fixed assets, however, the net profit would have been $96 million for fiscal 2004. As of March 2004, VSNL had cash and cash equivalents of $241 million.

As indicated in the table above, the company showed a profit of $33 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. Notwithstanding its operating loss for its2003-2004 operating year, KMA has concluded that the. proposed assignee is reasonably capable of fulfilling the obligations of the Easement Agreement eventhough they do not possess the financial strength of Grantee. It is a company that continues to have significant assets (both fixed and liquid), reserves in excess of $1 billion (US), annual sales in excess of $700 million (US) and is a major international telecommunications company. We hope this. review is helpful and are available to discuss the above at your convenience. CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF SERVICE TO OUR CLIENTS 0506008.1-1B:CEH:GBD NEW YORK, NY TYSONS CORNER, VA CHICAGO.

EXPRESSING AN INTEREST IN OBTAINING A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE A WIRELESS BROADBAND SERVICE TO THE CITY. Recommendation: That the City Council review the letter proposal and direct staff to negotiate a non- exclusive franohise agreement and return with the franchise agreement.. for_approyaL _ Background: The proposal to provide a wireless broadband service to the residents and businesses by Treyspan Inc. would use the public rights of way to install facilities to provide this' service. The service, once installed, would be a fee based offering by the company. Additional, information regarding the service offerings, fees and time frame for installation and activation will be detailed in the franchise agreement. Treyspan Inc. will provide access to the network at no cost. In return, Treyspan Inc. would like to install its system using street light poles, both those owned by the City and SCE. They have also asked that the city provide assistance in working with SCE for the pole attachment agreements. This approach is similar to what the City did with the Metrocom system thatwas reviewed and approved several years ago. In that case, the city was to receive free service from the system under terms of the agreement that was drafted. That system was not completed in Southern California. There are a few other items that would also be included in a draft franchise agreement and they are a term, compensation and indemnity. If directed, staff would start the process of drafting the franchise agreement, negotiate its terms and prepare it for approval by the City Council. Respectfully submitted, act Stephen R. Burrell City Manager treyspan Mr. Stephen Burrell City Manager City of Hermosa Beach Civic Center, 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Dear Steve: Treyspan Inc., a California "S" Corporation, is interested in obtaining a non-exclusive franchise agreement with the City of Hermosa Beach to provide "Wireless Broadband Services" to the residents and local businesses of the community. The terms of the franchise agreement are such: 1. Treyspan will carry the costs associated with building, deploying, managing and operating the network. The city will pay nothing in capital costs 2. Treyspan will cover the city with "Wireless Broadband Service." 3. 'Treyspan will, provide the city with use of the network for free. Public Works, Public Safety and City Government will all have access to the network. 4. Treyspan will be granted access to any/all light standards or poles where the city has retained "attachment rights" post sale to Southern California Edison (SCE). 5. The city will endorse the Treyspan service and will allow Treyspan to circulate press releases regarding the deployment, activation and subscriber growth of the service. 6. The city will assist Treyspan in negotiations with SCE for access to jointly owned poles as well access to any existing fiber connections into or out of the city owned or provided by SCE. It is our intent to work closely and cooperatively with the city and we look forward to a longstanding and mutually beneficial relationship. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. I look forward to your response.
