this item were:
Bob Hindle — Vice President, Parking Concepts, referred to other clients his
business has served during the last 32 years; in response to Council
questions, said the ticket dispenser could be moved further into the
garage, but the designer would have to comment on how that would
affect the number of parking spaces; said he would operate whatever
was provided in the structure;
Ron Miller — Hermosa Beach, said he was the closest neighbor to the parking
structure and was familiar with the parking and traffic flow problems
that still existed; expressed concern about the effects that the steam
and chemicals emanating from the car wash would have on the
neighborhood; suggested closing the car wash at 10:00 p.m. rather
than 11:00 p.m.;
Gene Shook The Hermosa Pavilion, discussed queuing issues and said
Walker Parking is an experienced company, familiar with everything
associated with parking; said there would be security on the premises
when the restaurant is open; said the car wash produced very little
noise and almost no water or residue and was agreeable to close the
car wash earlier than 11:00 p.m.; asked if the restaurant could be kept
open later on New Year's Eve; said he separated the wine tasting shop
from the restaurant because he thought that was the City's preference;
said he hoped to have one TV in the bar area so people could check
sports scores, and another in meeting rooms for presentations; said
the table and chairs on the exterior private patio were intended for
smoking rather than serving food or drinks; said the venting equipment
had been inspected and was in good working order, but noted that the
sensors do start the fan if a car with more than the average emission
travels through the structure; said the car wash had originally been
planned for the lower level and was moved to accommodate the
wishes of the City, but that he was willing to relocate it;
Ezra Cramer — Walker Parking, said moving the ticket dispenser farther into
the structure would sacrifice 10 to 11 parking spaces; said there were
many empty parking spaces on Pacific Coast Highway and on the side
streets near The Pavilion, so it appeared that the overflow parking
City Council Minutes 12-12-06 Page 12072
problems in the residential area had been resolved; said he observed
some cars parked in the residential areas from midnight to 6:00 a.m.,
which would not be 24 -Hour Fitness customers; said the speed at
which cars moved past the ticket dispenser depended on how quickly a
driver rolled down the window, took a ticket, and moved forward, noting
that the equipment worked quickly when drivers activated it;
Linda Miller — Hermosa Beach, expressed concern about pedestrian traffic in
the parking structure and urged the Council not to approve any more
Pavilion businesses which generate traffic until the parking problems
are completely resolved;
Gary Bouchard — project architect, said a certain turning radius was required,
and that moving the equipment further inside could create problems
with ingress and egress; asked if the closing time of the restaurant was
the time the last guest would be seated;
Patty Egerer - Hermosa Beach, said vehicles should pull in further off the
street when entering the parking structure; said high-end restaurant
customers would not want to eat on an outdoor patio area nor would
they want to watch TV; said the restaurant and the wine tasting shop
should be separate; said traffic, parking and roof equipment issues still
needed to be mitigated before these projects are approved;
Jim Lissner -- Hermosa Beach, distributed information to the Council
regarding the operating hours of Manhattan Beach restaurants; said
this restaurant should not be open until midnight; said "hours of
operation" should be clearly defined in the City code and clarified in the
conditional use permit;
Marilyn Pierce — Hermosa Beach, said she had lived in her home near The
Pavilion since before the building was initially constructed and recalled
no problems with the roof equipment until recently; wondered if the
equipment was simply wearing out and asked if the equipment could
be vented in another direction;
Nathan Coors - employee of Gene Shook, said the report from Walker
Parking addressed the queuing specifications;
Carla Merriman — Hermosa. Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors'
Bureau Executive Director, representing the 350 member businesses
and Board of Directors, spoke in support of the proposed Stillwater
Contemporary American Bistro and the need for fine dining for
Hermosa residents and upscale visitors staying in hotels; based on the
number of diners and the small size of the bar area, did not believe
that the restaurant posed a threat to neighborhoodresidents; and
Alan Benson — Hermosa Beach, discussed criteria the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Department (ABC) uses in reporting crime; said there were too
many bars in the city; said the proposed restaurant with full liquor
abuts a residential neighborhood, was too close to a school per the
ABC's guidelines, and was also located along a "safe route to school"
guaranteed for children.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS
a. INTRODUCTION ON FIRST READING OF ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT
ORDINANCE. Memorandum from City Manager Stephen Burrell dated
December 5, 2006.
City Council Minutes 12-12-06 Page 12075
• •
City Manager Burrell presented the staff report and responded to Council
questions. City Attorney Jenkins also responded to Council questions.
Coming forward to address the Council on this item were:
Jim Lissner — Hermosa Beach, spoke in opposition to the proposal, saying it
would not be enforced; said no fee was listed for the proposed permit;
said the ABC investigates owners of establishments serving liquor,
making this redundant; asked what cities other than Redondo Beach
have similar ordinances and how the cities without this type of
ordinance handle problems with entertainment businesses;
Ron Newman - Hermosa Beach businessman, said laws are already in place
to enforce problems, and suggested a provision that entertainment
businesses cannot use promoters; said businesses could be fined
when their names appear on handbills no matter who puts them up;
said Santa Barbara has a similar permit, which is automatically
renewed every year unless there have been problems;
Mike Lacey — Comedy and Magic Club, said he learned only today that this
ordinance was being discussed this evening and was upset by the lack
of notice; spoke in opposition to the proposal, saying that when a
business applies for a bank loan, a copy of the lease and CUP must be
provided, and this permit, which must be re -issued every year, would
make banks uneasy about granting loans; said enforcement of current
CUPs would take care of the problems; said he would refuse to get
such a permit;
Linda Miller — Hermosa Beach, said CUP requirements have not been
enforced in a timely fashion, and businesses that cause problems
should pay for the extra police protection;
Ron Miller - Hermosa Beach, said the handbills and Internet images degrade
the City's image and were hard to deal with, but thought perhaps the
promoter issue could be dealt with separately;
Patty Egerer - Hermosa Beach, said she would like to see promoters
prohibited from portraying Hermosa Beach as a sleazy community;
Gary Vincent Fat Face Fenner's Fishack, said he had no prior notice of this
hearing and left his employees' Christmas party to attend; said he had
never relied on a promoter, agreed that handbills are often offensive
and cause litter; said he was tired of defending himself against wrongs
he did not commit and that the City should simply enforce the CUP
requirements so that those who don't comply pay the price;
Yanni Lanq — Hermosa Beach, said he was a lifelong resident who worked at
local businesses and currently for AMI, event promoters for fundraisers
and Centennial events; said they were not the typical promoters but
focused on the unique Hermosa Beach culture of surfing, volleyball,
skateboard, art shows, etc.; said he objects to flyers on cars and does
not staple notices on trees; said he puts posters on windows with
scotch tape, not spray adhesive, and takes them down after the event;
Steve Roberts — Cafe Bugaloo, said CUP enforcement would be effective if
actions were taken quickly; said many businesses do comply with their
CUP requirements as he does;
City Council Minutes 12-12-06 Page 12076
Chris Pike — Hermosa Beach, said the entertainment district on Pier Avenue
had existed for years, including the Lighthouse in the 1950's;
said the promoter problem should be dealt with separately;
urged the Council to consider that the well-run businesses are
not the ones creating the problems; and,
Al Benson — Hermosa Beach, said this ordinance might help with some of the
issues in the City, but that the business owners who are present
at tonight's meeting were not the ones causing the problems.
Action: To direct staff to return with an agenda item that requires live
entertainment permits for promoters only.
Motion Edgerton, second Reviczky. The motion carried by a unanimous vote.
Further Action: To schedule a workshop meeting in February 2007 with
local businesses and the Chamber of Commerce to discuss methods to
expedite enforcement of CUP's for businesses with entertainment.
Motion Keegan, second Bobko. The motion carried by a unanimous vote.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION SERVICES. Memorandum from City Manager
Stephen Burrell dated December 5, 2006.
City Manager Burrell presented the staff report and responded to Council
questions.
Coming forward to address the Council on this item were:
Earl Keegan — Hermosa Beach, questioned the ethics of Mr. Widman and
noted his removal of political signs during a recent election; asked if
Mr. Widman had employees, a business license, workers
compensation insurance and if he paid payroll taxes; said other people
could provide this service and should have been considered;
Barbara Deuerlein — Hermosa Beach, described the steps a mediator should
take, and suggested that the City hire a professional mediator, who is
not a resident of the City; said you get what you pay for; and
Lance Widman — Executive Director of the South Bay Center for Dispute
Resolution, said his company was a private, non-profit corporation, a
501 C3; said he had been doing mediation for almost 20 years for a
number of cities in the South Bay, .including Hermosa Beach, and that
his experience had been positive and productive.
Action: To continue the item. to January 23 and direct staff to provide
information on the other mediators who responded to the request for proposal

Criteria for selecting investments and the absolute order of priority are:
1. Safety: The .safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal,
interest or a combination of these amounts. Since it is the primary duty and responsibility of the
Treasurer to protect, preserve and maintain cash and investments placed in his/her trust on behalf of
the citizens of the City, Hermosa Beach only invests in those instruments that are considered very safe.
2. Liquidity: This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with minimal chance of
losing some portion of the principal or interest. An adequate percentage of the portfolio should be
maintained in liquid short-term investments which can be converted to cash if necessary to meet
disbursement requirements. Since all cash requirements cannot be anticipated, investments in
securities with active secondary or resale markets is highly recommended. Emphasis should be on
marketable securities with low sensitivity to market risk.
3. Yield: yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and sometimes is described
as the rate of return. It should become a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and
liquidity have been met.
The City's investment philosophy is to insure the safety of principle and to provide money when
needed. A high dollar yield on investments, though important, ranks third in the priority of investment
strategy.
Depository Services
Money must be deposited in state or national banks, state or federal savings associations, or
state or federal credit unions in the state. It may be in inactive deposits, active deposits or interest-
bearing active deposits which are insured or collateralized as required by Government Code Section
53630 at seq. The deposits generally may not exceed the amount of the bank's shareholders' equity,
the savings and loan's net worth or the ;credit union's unimpaired capital and surplus. We require that
each financial institution submit current financial statements which are evaluated prior to the
investment of funds. We use the following criteria:
The institution must have been in business at least three years. The institution must submit audited
financial statements. In addition, examination is made of the Reserve for Loan Losses category to
evaluate the financial trend of the institution's asset base. Whenever possible, the use of several year

financial data is evaluated to present a trend of activity in the institution. We also require the interest
be paid to the City on a monthly basis (current state law only requires quarterly payment).
Authorized Investments
Generally, investments shall be made in the context of the "prudent person" rule, which states that,
"investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which
persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not
for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the
probable income to be derived." The City is further governed by the California Government Code,
Sections 53600 et seq. Within the context of these limitations, the following investments are
authorized, as further limited herein:
Negotiable Certificates of Deposit. No more than 5% of the City's portfolio is invested in any one
institution: Time Certificates of Deposits are safe kept in a legally acceptable safekeeping account.
Total purchases are not to exceed 30% of surplus funds. An institution must meet the following
criteria to be considered by the City:
1. The institution must be located in California.
2. The institution must have current financial information, signed contract and waiver on file
with the City.
3. The institution must maintain a net worth to asset ratio of a least 5%, and have a positive
earnings record.
4. The institution must be at least 3 years old.
U. S. TREASURIES are direct obligations of the United States Government.
U.S. TREASURY BILLS are issued weekly with maturity dates up to one year. They are issued and
traded on a discount basis and the interest is figured on the 360 day basis, actual number of days. They
are issued in amounts of $10,000 and up, in multiples of $5,000. They are a highly liquid security.
U.S. TREASURY NOTES are initially issued with two to ten years maturities. They are actively
traded in a large secondary market and are very liquid.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTES (MTNs) are corporate notes. Issuers include well recognized
banks and bank holding companies, insurance companies, finance companies and industrial
corporations. A large percentage of MTNs are unsecured senior debt obligations, although a number
of recent issues have come to market on a collateralized or secured basis. Maturity bonds are from 9
months to one year, one year to 18 months, 18 months to 2 years, and annually thereafter. Typically,
rates are established at a positive spread over a Treasury security of comparable maturity. Credit
ratings on MTNs are established by nationally recognized rating services. Standard and Poor's,
Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Investors Service. Credit supported MTNs typically cany the
Aaa/AAA long term rating, based on the credit -worthiness of the support entity. Collateralized MTNs
receive the same rating based on the over collateralization limits set by Standard and Poor's and
Moody's. Although a rating of A is required for Municipal investment as per sections 53601 and/or
53635, this agency, as policy, will only consider investments with Aa/aa or better. There can be only
30% of the total surplus funds used for MTN investment as per section 53635. MTNs offer safety,
yield and liquidity through a strong secondary market.
BANKER'S ACCEPTANCES are negotiable time drafts drawn to finance the export, import,
shipment or storage of goods, and they are termed "Accepted" when a bank guarantees to pay the face
value at maturity. A Banker's Acceptance constitutes an irrevocable obligation of the accepting bank
and a contingent obligation of the drawer and of any endorsees whose names appear upon it. The bank
is protected by its customer's agreement to provide the necessary funds in advance of the maturity of
the Acceptance and also by the pledge of documents such as bills of lading, independent warehouse of
terminal receipts, and other documents evidencing ownership and the insurance of the goods so
financed.
Cities and other local agencies are authorized to purchase Banker's Acceptances, subject to several
restrictions. First, the Banker's Acceptance must be eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve
System. Second, purchases of Banker's Acceptances must not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days
maturity or 40% of the City's surplus money invested under Sections 53601 and/or 53635. Finally, no
more than 5% of the agency's surplus funds may be invested in the Banker's Acceptances of any one
commercial bank .

LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND (LAIF) is a pooled investment fund in the State
Treasury which local agencies may use to deposit funds for investment. There is no minimum
investmentperiod and the minimum transaction is $5,000, in multiples of $1,000 above that, with a
maximum of $40,000,000 for any agency. The City is restricted to a maximum of fifteen (15)
transactions per month. It offers high liquidity because deposits can be converted to cash in twenty-
four hours and no interest is lost. All interest is distributedto those agencies participating on a
proportionate share determined by the amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited.
Interest is paid quarterly via direct deposit. The State keeps an amount for reasonable costs of making
the investments, not to exceed one-quarter of one percent of the earnings. The interest rates are fairly
high because of the pooling of the State surplus cash with the surplus cash deposited by local
governments. This creates a multi -billion dollar money pool and allows diversified investments. In a
high interest rate market, we do better than LAIF, but in times of low interest rates, LAIF yields are
higher. The City continually invests in the Local Agency Investment Fund (Government Code Section
16429).
LOS ANGELES COUNTY POOLED INVESTMENT FUND (LACPIF) Pursuant to Government
Code Section 53684, local agencies in the County of Los Angeles may deposit excess funds in
LACPIF for the purpose of investment by the county treasurer Government Code Sections 53601 and
53635;
The County keeps an amount for reasonable costs of making the investments, not to exceed sixteen
(16) basis points per month. The number of monthly transactions are not restricted.
Safekeeping
Certificates of Deposit or Receipts of Public Funds must be mailed or delivered to the City. Banker's
acceptances are actual "physical" securities, meaning they are evidenced by actual certificates. All
Treasury bills and most other Treasury securities are "book entry" securities, meaning they are held at
the Federal Reserve Union Bank of California where only a book entry is used to denote ownership.
Collateral for time deposits in banks and savings and loans are held by the Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHB) or an approved Agency of Depository of the financial institution.
Securities purchased from broker/dealers shall be held in third party safekeeping.

Public Trust
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust. Investment
officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. The
overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the
public trust. In a diversified portfolio it must be recognized that occasional measurement losses are
inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio's investment return,
provided that adequate diversification has been implemented.
Risk Tolerance
The City Council recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market price changes
or various technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. Portfolio diversification is
employed as a way to control risk. Investment Managers are expected to display prudence in the
selection of securities, as a way to minimize default risk. No individual investment transaction shall be
undertaken which jeopardizes the total capital position of the overall portfolio. The Treasurer shall
periodically establish guidelines and strategies to control risks of default, market price changes, and
illiquidity.
Reporting
The Treasurer or his deputy shall submit a monthly investment report to the City Council. This report
will include all required elements of the monthly report as prescribed by Government Code Section
53646. Under the City's current Investment Policy, of the monthly report shall include:
a. Type of investment
b. Name of issuer
G. Date of investment
d. Date ofmaturity
e. Amount of deposit or cost of the security
f. Current market value
g. Rate of Interest

Matters for Commission Consideration
A. Friends of the Parks picnic table request
• Commissioner Francis: Recommendation to approve request for installation of a
picnic table at Kay Etow Park. Friends of the Parks is offering to pay for the table
to replace existing bench. Public Works will install.
Questions/Discussion from Commission
Laura Raymond, President, Friends of the Parks: Friends of the Parks would like to purchase a 42
inch round table with attached seating to replace the bench at Kay Etow Park. It would be
installed in about six weeks. The table and seating meet the City standard. FOP will work with
Public Works to install the table. Kay Etow is in a densely populated neighborhood and the
addition of the table will create more enjoyment of the park. A site visit was made to the park
with Public Works and the landscape contractor. FOP would like to:
1. Trim or remove a number of the smaller trees to allow the existing trees to grow bigger
2. Trim the bushes on the north side that are screening the park to open it up and create a
more gracious entrance
3. Add a concrete path on the northwest corner to connect to the southwest path to
provide better access.
If the Commission supports these recommendations, we are prepared to go to our Board of
Directors to supplement the costs.
Hollander: These are great ideas and the community should support it. It is wonderful that you
are going to make the improvements to the park.
2i
P&R 92/05/06 Minutes
Raymond: We have received a donation from the Garden Club and we have a lot of support.
This is a great opportunity to bring Kay Etow Park up to speed. There is a member from the Rotary
Club here to talk about what they would like to see also.
Barbara Clark, Hermosa Beach Rotary: We are hoping to put a Japanese Maple tree on the
southwest side of the park and dedicate it to Aza, the husband of Kay Etow that the park is
named for. It would be our contribution.
Hollander: How large do those trees grow?
Clark: The variety we are considering is not too big. There is a big area available to add shade.
Cannella: I think it is a great idea. Kay Etow contributed a lot to the City in her time. She was very
involved which is why they dedicated the park to her.
Francis: We did a park site walk through as a Commission. What about the signage that is being
replaced?
Lynn: The signage has been replaced already. The tree program is already approved. The
motion required is to replace the bench with the picnic table.
Francis: Call for a Motion
Hollander: I motion for the bench to be replaced.
Cannella: Second it.
All Ayes
B. 2007 Special Event applications.
• Commissioner Francis: Commissioners have the booklets in front of them that the
staff put together. People here who wish to speak to each event should come
forward when the event is announced.
• Lynn: Each event listed is a repeat event for the City. Some are already
approved. The AVP is a 3 year contract, St. Patrick's Day is a 2 year agreement
and the Hermosa Beach 5K Walk/Run was approved earlier in the year. Those
three have already been approved. Directing you to the Staff Report at the
beginning of the packet, page 1, are the events that are up for approval.
Two commercial and 5 non profits. Everything else on the calendar is either
approved in house or has been approved at a separate time.
Pro Am Beach Volleyball
Francis: The Pro Am Beach Volleyball has already been approved?
Lynn: No. The letter on the Dias is written by Ross Balling, EVP Tour Commissioner, who could not
be here to talk about this event. He wrote this letter to the Commission to convey his
appreciation for consideration. This is a repeat event for the City, the 7th year and is a one day
volleyball Pro Am event.
Sigler: I go almost every year and Ross runs a great event. As far as I know he has stuck with all
the prerequisites. He takes down one or two poles. With our approval, we should mention that
the poles need to be replaced in the same exact spot.
Lynn: We can amend his contract to indicate that.
2 P&R 12/05/06 Minutes
Sigler: OK. Otherwise it is a great event. I have no concerns.
Hollander: He has done a good job in terms of all requests.

Hermosa Beach Triathlon
Francis: Is there someone here for the Triathlon?
Matt Peterson: Race Director. From our end everything went well this year. The City asked us to
make changes to the bike course which we did. We haven't had any major complaints. We
think it is a success. We would like to look into the possibility of expanding to multi-year.
Lynn: In the future. It is not possible this evening for 2007 but it is in 2008 if both parties are
interested.
Hollander: How is the entry and exit bottleneck at the Pier? Was that any better this year?
Peterson: There were not any accidents this year. We also had police at that intersection and
had volunteers specifically designated for that spot. We opened it up a little bit more. The only
confusion in that area was the roadwork upa little bit further and they had put in some new
parking spots. We worked with the City and designated one lane for traffic and one lane for
bikes.
Sigler: It is a pretty popular event. I think you sell out ahead of time. Is it something you would like
to do twice a year?
Peterson: We would be open to it. It is something we would talk to the City about. We end up
taking over two volleyball courts when setting up the event. We would have to be sure that the
impact wouldn't be too much.
Francis: My question would be to the staff. Were there significant improvements this year?
Lynn: Absolutely. The biggest improvement is in keeping Hermosa Avenue open. When we used
to close Hermosa Avenue, it was a huge impact. We used to receive a lot of complaints but
now that we have alleviated that there is a lot Tess reaction. One complaint has been the need
for proper notification and MESP is doing a direct mailer to everyone in Hermosa outlining an
escape route for that day. It is a Sunday morning, cars were towed and some streets are closed
off. Folks like to know how to get around it. That is an important part of this approval process,
that they continue with resident notification.
Francis: Anytime a car gets towed the owner is upset whether it justified or not.
Lynn: We have alleviated car towing so that is a big step in the right direction.
Francis: Any other questions?

Clark: Would like to give some positive feedback. We live on the east side of Pacific Coast
Highway and my husband's shop is on the west side. In years past it has been a problem for him
to get to work and this year was not. This year he didn't even know the event was going on. He
was able to cross the street and get to work. Whatever was done, it worked. Also, we did get the
notice in the mail.
Sigler: Has anything changed in the fees or is that pretty much the same as last year?
Lynn: Fees have not changed. Nether of the commercial groups is asking for any fee waiver.
One of the criteria that has changed from the City is that any group that is coordinating a
special event in the City that requires a roadblock or street closure, we are now mandating that
a Certified Engineer Traffic Control Pian be supplied or we won't review the events. We now
have those and it helps us. That is a new criteria.
Francis: CaII for a MOTION
Hollander: 1 make a motion for approval.
Sigler: l second it.
All Ayes
Francis: Next we are going to move on to Non-profit events.
The Great Autos of Yesteryear
David Freedman: This is our 8th year doing the show and it is going to be the same as the last
seven years. Classic cars, no advertising, no marketing, just a fun day at the beach. To honor the
City of Hermosa Beach's Centennial, we will have a car from every decade from the 1900's and
on up lining the plaza. Each car will have a placard indicating the year and make of the car. It
might be hard finding a classic from the 80's or 90's but if anyone has an Alante or Town &
Country they would be welcome. It is always the first Saturday in May, May 5th, 2007.
Hollander: It is a great show. It brings a lot to the community.
Freedman: It is a great show and is an easy show to do. This year I am going to show up with a
2000 SSR, Chevy retractable hardtop.
Cannella: It was great last year. There was a 1967 Malibu that reminded me of a best friend's car
in High School.
Lynn: There is a request for fee waivers for all the Non-profit events. What all the groups are
requesting is that the permit fee be waived only and not the direct costs. The permit fee is based
on participation. It is $1.20 per participant so this event if would be $540 requested fee waiver.
Freedman: We have some sponsorship that covers the cost of the show.
Francis: I noticed one thing in the application. There is no checkmark on insurance.
Lynn ; If you look on the information grid, the insurance requirement is for 2 million general liability.
The checkmark should be there.
Francis: Call for a MOTION
Hollander: I make a motion to approve with fee waiver of the permits.

AAtJ Youth Volleyball
Gino Grajeda: National Tour Director. The event is a different format this year. To consolidate our
operations, the girls will start a day earlier and the middle day will be the ending of the girl
tournament and the boys will start after that. The last day will be the boys finals. This is our 14th
year, 12 in Hermosa Beach and our 50th year of AU sanction. We are glad to be part of the
Centennial and we talked to Lisa about doing an exhibition for the celebration. We are happy
to be in Hermosa Beach. In our event calendar it is one of the most significant.
Hollander: Are you extending the time you will be using?
Grajeda: No. It is the same time. Our calendar is very full.
Hollander: Are the girls and boys equal numbers?
Grajeda: Girls are larger. It is about 60-40. 200 teams, 120 girl's teams and 80 boys teams. We
have a lot of local participants but they also came from Hawaii, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
Everyone that won, except for one division was from California, the South Bay.
Francis: Any questions?
Cannella: I saw no problems. I love the event. I love youth sports and the South Bay is a great
place for Volleyball. Mira. Costa are the National champions for the girls. Another good event.
Lynn: There are no problems at this event. It is an exciting event to see; the talented youth on our
beach.
Sigler: It is low impact too. I think They put up a tent at the beginning.
Grajeda: Yes, we set up and tear down the same day. We leave the beach better than we
found it.
Francis: Call for a MOTION
Sigler: I coach club girls and I think it is a great event. I make in motion to approve and include
the fee waiver.
Bell: I'll second.
Francis: All those in favor?

Southern California Foundation Beach 'Volleyball Tournament
Bill Sigler, Executive Director: I have been involved with the Southern California Foundation for
Children for about six years now. Every year we do two fundraising events, the volleyball
tournament and our biggest fundraiser, the Christmas party coming up this Friday at Sangria's.
We have a lot of volunteers helping out and a lot of people from the beach cities get involved.
The two events raise money and at Christmas time we go out and buy presents from Mattel,.
P&R 12/05/06 Minutes
•
Kmart, Target, who gives us discounts and we get sponsorships. From the Christmas party and
the tournament we usually raise about $15,000 a year and we spend all of it on gifts and
necessities for kids in orphanages, South Central LA, South Bay, Hawthorne, Gardena and places
like that. Richstone is one of the places we donate to. There are about eight to ten organizations
we donate to. We adopt a few families foo that can't afford to give presents to their kids. This
event is fun, low impact, we put up about four tents. None of that is going to change. The
majority of people playing are all South Bay residents. The people who are displaced on that
Saturday are usually the people who are playing anyway.
Cannella: l was out there last year and I think it is a great cause.
Lynn: Also, your group purchases and delivers the gifts.
Sigler: We do. If anyone is interested, the party is this weekend at Sangria's. There is a casino with
play money and afterward the volunteers buy the presents.
Francis: Call for a MOTION
Cannella: I make a motion that we approve the request and waive the fees.
Bell: Second
All Ayes.
Movie in the Park
Laura Raymond: Friends of the Park. We are asking for approval to host Movie in the Park the last
Saturday in August at Valley Park. The last two years we have had about 500 people attending.
It starts at about. 5:30 at night. We have activities for kids to participate in, food and beverages.
We get a lot of support from the. Community. There is a big cross-section of the community as
well as participants who enjoy the event. We have a raffle and as soon as it gets dark, we show
the movie. It is all over about 10:00 p.m. We have not chosen the movie for this year but are
looking at "Cars", a Disney film, or "Flushed Away" from DreamWorks. We are looking for
approval for that event.
. Hollander: I have been there every year and have had a great time. People love it. They really
enjoy it. Everyone has a lot of fun. Neighbors come together.
Raymond: One of the major issues has been stroller parking but we have worked that out this
year by encouraging people to park their strollers along the side. I can't say enough about the
support we get from the Commission, the Recreation staff, and community. We are also looking
for Title Sponsorship which costs $3,000 and that covers the hard costs. We put the Title Sponsor
on all print materials. We provide a space at the event and they can show a commercial and
announce on the PA if they are interested.
Francis: I agree that thisis the type of event that helps our community grow and makes it
stronger because it is a family event.
Francis: Call for a MOTION
Hollander: I make a motion to approve the event and waive the permit.
Bell: Seconded
All Ayes.

Volcom Sea SIuq Youth Surf Contest
Christopher Lyman, Event Director: I do contests all over California, Hawaii, and I have been
here 7 years in Hermosa. It is an easy set up. Three Easy -Up tents, everybody comes in and signs
up in the morning. It is a great surf contest, one day, and is for whoever shows up. It is a South
Bay cornmunity free contest.
Sigler: How old are the kids who surf in the contest?
Lyman: Anyone from 12 years up. These kids are trying to get sponsorships. Most of them are little
kids, the youngest about 12. A lot of 18 year olds. Everything is free. No entry fees. Just come out
and have fun. We feed them, play games, surf. The only money we give away is $500 for 18 and
19 year old Pro Am and Professional Amateurs.
Hollander: I think it is a great event. On the application you have a request for fee waivers on
staff and parking. We have had a policy across the board to waive fees only for permits. Would
it be possible for you to get sponsorship for those fees?
Lyman: Yes, usually we use street parking.
Lynn: If you don't need parking then the only fees would be staff fees on the event site.
Lyman: OK
Cannella: That event is coming up this Saturday.
Lyman: Yes. It starts at 7:00 a.m. and goes until dusk at the south side of the Pier.
Francis: Call for a MOTION
Hollander: 1 motion to approve the event with permit fees only waived.
Sigler: I second it.
All Ayes.

They are working hard to make these improvements.
4. Hermosa Arts Foundation - Commissioner Bell: Officially it is quiet. The whole city is an arts
foundation at the moment with the Christmas events and Historical Society. We had a
great time out on the plaza at the Jazz Memorial. The Navy Band Commodores were

wonderful and Akisha Davis helped so much with this event. We installed four new
plaques and it is an official jazz stroll now. Ozzie Cadena could not be there due to
health issues, but his wife Gloria was there. Thanks again to the staff that helped make it
a great event.
5. Jazz Memorial -Commissioner Francis: The jazz plaques on the plaza I support
wholeheartedly. It makes our City a little better place to live and helps to recognize the
rich heritage that we have in this small community by the sea.
Items Requested by Commissioners

Other Matters:

supporting Parks and Recreation Division and it is called Hermosa Beach 90254. It is

professional people putting this on. It needs funding and we are looking for
sponsorship so if anyone is interested in being a part of this and seeing their name in
lights and, on TV. Please call 310-318-2471 and we will send out a sponsorship
package. Sponsorship is $3,000 for Platinum, $2,500 for Gold, down to $1,000. We will

Regular meeting of
January 23, 2007
ADDENDUM TO THE PROPOSAL TO CONDUCT A STAFFING
AND DEPLOYMENT STUDY FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council:
1. Approve an addendum to the proposal of Matrix Consulting Group to
conduct a staffing and deployment study for the fire department of four (4)
questions provided by the Hemiosa Beach Firefighters' Association.
BACKGROUND
At its regular meeting on January .9, 2007, Council approved the Proposal To
Conduct A Staffing And Deployment Study For The Fire Department by Matrix
Consulting Group. Council also directed staff to include input from the
Firefighters' Association .in the form of additional questions to be included in the
scope of the project to address their concerns.
The following are the four (4) questions to be included:
1. Should the city consider adding additional full-time paid personnel to
Engine .12 to provide for safer fire -ground operations and enhance the
department's overall ability to serve the city and its residents? Would
this improvement sufficiently address the department's ability to
manage multiple incidents and maintain a safer span of control?
2. Does the current department organizational make-up meet local
industry standards for fire prevention and related responsibilities?
3. Would reorganization of the Reserve Firefighter Program into an
Ambulance Operator (NO) Program, with the focus of BLS transport,
better serve the department and the city's ability to generate transport
revenue?
4. Has the reorganized transport service and additional transport fees
generated enough revenue to fund all or most of the costs of
enhancing services through additional staffing?
2j
Travis Miller, Vice President, of the Matrix Consulting Group has reviewed these
additional questions and has advised that they can address them in the project
and that there would be no increase in the cost of the project to include them.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for the Matrix Consulting Group to deliver the project remains at
$27,000. There is no extra cost for these additional questions.

Discussion among commissioners included:
■ Number of accidents at this location has been a long standing concern
■ Realignment of intersection could be appropriate time to ask for addition beautification funding
x No electrical or trenching included in Aviation Street Tree Project but could always be added
■ Will be re -striping and slurrying Aviation and Prospect shortly
■ Aviation Boulevard is a major arterial out of Hermosa Beach
■ Good to improve capacity on major streets so don't increase traffic on smaller streets
Previous study indicated that traffic on Prospect was servicing the neighborhood
Public commentary at this time included:
Roder Bacon .

Further discussion among the commissioners highlighted the following:
▪ It was noted that this is only a design phase, irnpact to traffic should be looked at before anythin{
done
■ Density of population and density of traffic no different in Hermosa than in other areas
• Going for beautification,aspects should be presented
▪ If nothing done for widening PCH, traffic on Prospect will increase because traffic always take
the path of least resistance
Based on safety concerns, would be difficult to change thoroughfare - taking parking off PCI
would change the dynamic of the City
▪ If applying for money to look for options, will be impacted by outside forces because didn't look
what could happen
■ Would gain ability to have commercial - banners across PCH; Caltrans looking for ways t
relinquish maintenance responsibilities
■ City is in process of relinquishment, working with Torrance and Redondo
■ Council will have to make final decision regarding taking over PCH -- wouldn't be part of grar
review
■ Request has been made to Caltrans regarding adding signal at island where northbound PCI
turns right onto eastbound Aviation which would allow for a pedestrian crossing cycle and will b
pursued independently from the Call for Projects
■ If get into study, will look at every option -
At this time Mr. Morgan advised that at this juncture, he has the sense that this` is not the time to g

Section II Public Hearing(s)
6. TEXT 06-3 -- Text Amendment regarding Lot Mergers to consider clarifications and/or
modifications to the subdivision ordinance text (Chapter 16.20 Merger of Parcels) and
definition of "block" in the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 17) pertaining to the requirement to
merge adjacent parcels under common ownership that include substandard lot sizes or widths,
when an existing building straddles the property line. The majority of parcels subject to this
merger requirement have already been merged (in the years 1987 —1990), however, a limited
number remain. The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the circumstances where a lot
merger may be required; to expand noticing requirements; and to consider limiting the
mergers to R-1 zoned properties. The general purpose of the lot merger ordinance is to
prevent the future development of substandard sized parcels that are not consistent with
existing parcels on the same block.

testimony, and continue the hearing to the next meeting to ensure adequate public input on the
matter.

January 23, 2007
SUBJECT: FINAL MAP NO. 63523 (C.U.P. CON NO. 05-23, PDP NO. 05-25)
LOCATION: 1212 CYPRESS AVENUE
APPLICANT(S): SAM BURRESCIA
2350 W. SEPULVEDA BLVD. #P
TORRANCE, CA 90501
REQUEST: TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL MAP FOR A TWO -
UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Final Parcel Map No. 63523 which is consistent with the
approved Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, and recommends the City Clerk be directed to endorse
the certificate for said map.
Background
The Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for a Two unit condominium
project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No.63523 at their September 20, 2005 meeting. The
project is currently under construction.
Process
Once a map has been tentatively approved by the Planning Commission, copies of the tentatively
approved map must be submitted to the L.A. County Engineer, who is contracted by the City, to
review the map for its technical correctness (pursuant to Section 66442(a)(4)of the Subdivision
Map Act).
An applicant has two years from the date of tentative map approval to submit for final map
approval. Typically applicants have not submitted for final map approval until projects are near
completion and ready to be sold.
Final maps must be submitted to the City Council and must be approved by the City Council,
"...if it conforms to all the requirements of [Subdivision Map Act] and any local subdivision
2n
ordinance applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval of the tentative map and any
rulings made thereunder...." pursuant to Section 66458(a) of the Subdivision Map Act.
Analysis
The staff has reviewed the Final Map and found it substantially consistent with the Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map approved by the Planning Commission and in conformance with the State
Subdivision Map Act.

Honorable Mayor and Members Regular Meeting of
of the Hermosa Beach City Council January 23, 2007
SUBJECT: 2007-2008 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
PURPOSE: APPROVE THE 2007-08 CDBG ALLOCATION FOR RETROMi TING THE
COMMUNITY CENTER FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE AMERICANS WITH
DISABILITIES ACT.
COMPLIANCE WITH PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
REQUIREMENTS OF TIIE CDBG PROGRAM.
Recommendation:
That the City Council adopt the resolution approving the allocation of Community Development
Block Grant funds for retrofitting the Community Center to comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and for program administration.
Background:
Early indications are that funding for the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program for fiscal year 07-08 will be reduced slightly. Although new allocations have not yet
been established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),
administrative deadlines require City adoption of the annual Planning Summary in the January
before the start of the applicable fiscal year. Thus, an estimate of the new yearly allocation is
required. Indications are that the City's FY 07-08 allocation will be approximately $96,397 (as
opposed to the 06-07 allocation of $99,438). The present agenda item is to allocate funds to City
CDBG projects and comply with applicable public hearing requirements.
Analysis:
Over the last ten years, the City has been utilizing CDBG funding for various Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) related projects throughout the City. Since 2003, the City has been
involved in a multiphased program to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act by
eliminating architectural barriers at the Community Center and at street intersections in the City.
The $96,397 for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 is proposed to be allocated as follows:
An estimated $86,757, to be added to the CDBG funding from previous years for the
ongoing multiphase Community Center ADA retrofit and the completion of
handicapped ramps in the City.
. * An estimated $9,640 for program administration (10% of the total allocation)
The Community Center and handicapped ramps projects are eligible for funding under the
National Objective Citations 570.201 (k) and 570.208 (a)2(ii). These objectives recognize that
removal of architectural barriers benefits low and moderate -income persons, since a majority of
disabled persons have low and moderate incomes who benefit by improved access to public
facilities. Projects consistent with these objectives need not submit evidence that the expenditure
of funds benefit low and moderate -income persons, but must submit evidence that funding was
5a
•
expended for removal of architectural barriers. Also, under HUD rules, up to ten percent of the
total allocation is available for program administration.
The Community Center ADA retrofit project consists of five phases:
1. The Community Center Theater;
2. Exterior improvements for accessible paths of travel to the community center buildings;
3. The community center main classroom building;
4. The cafeteria building;
5. The secondary classroom building.
The Phase 1, 2 and 3 improvements have been completed. The theater and main classroom
building have been retrofitted and the new exterior walkways have been constructed. Phase 4-5
plans and specifications have also been completed. In addition, a new fire alarm system with
strobe lights for hearing impaired persons will be part of the next phase of the project.

5. Limitation.
With this roster of five (5) Mediators, RPB proposes no limitation on the number
of hours made available to the City for the performance of dispute resolution services.
6. Existing Relationships.
Neither the Mediators nor RPB is known to have any existing professional
relationships in the City. The Mediators reside within the area, but are not residents of
the City, and for that reason, it is highly unlikely that the Mediators will encounter
conflicts of interest or any situations that would prevent their serving in the capacity of an
appropriately neutral third party mediator.

PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DISPUTE
RESOLUTION SERVICES
FOR THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
SUBMITTED BY FRANKLIN B. MUENZER, ESQ.
CALIFORNIA STATE BAR NO. 072035
1451 9th STREET
MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIF
INTRODUCTION
Having over 30 years experience as an attorney involved with civil
litigation, I have provided Dispute Resolution services as an Arbitrator since
1988 and subsequently as a Mediator since 1995. I have been on the Los
Angeles County Superior Court panel of mediators for over 10 years and
during that time have acted as a mediator in both private and court ordered
mediations on hundreds of cases involving a wide variety of subject matter.
I am also a member of the Southern California Mediation Association and
the Los Angeles County Bar Dispute Resolution Services Association. I
previously had my law office in Manhattan Beach for over 16 years, closed
that office in 2004 and subsequently maintained an office on Century Blvd.
near the airport for two years which I recently closed so that I could focus
primarily on Mediation activities without having to incur unnecessary
overhead expenses. I am very interested in the opportunity for providing
community Dispute Resolution services in the South Bay area.
STRATEGY FOR PROVIDING MEDIATION SERVICES
I am willing and able to provide community mediation services to the city on
an hourly charge or monthly retainer basis. I can, and would prefer, to
provide those services in the city of Hermosa Beach at a facility provided by
1
the city, although 1 would consider limited travel, if necessary to provide
those services.
COST OF SERVICES
My fees have ranged from $150/hr to $ 300/hr for mediation services,
depending on a variety of factors. I would also consider a monthly retainer
basis for fees, and would be pleased to discuss these options.
QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
Education:
BSME Stanford University 1962
MS Engineering University of Southern California 1967
JD Southwestern University, School of Law 1976.
Professional Background:
In addition to several years as an Aerospace Engineer, I have over 27 years
of experience as a litigation attorney representing defendants and plaintiffs
in cases involving vehicle accidents, residential/commercial/construction
accidents, premises -liability, defective products, subrogation, insurance,
contract disputes, construction defects and various other issues. Mediation
experience has involved matters including the foregoing as well as
professional malpractice, commercial business disputes, fraud, real estate
and real property issues. I am on the panel of Mediators and Arbitrators for
the Los Angeles Superior Court, a member of the Los Angeles County Bar
Dispute Resolution Services Association (DRS Associates) and a member of
the Southern California Mediation Association. I have been providing
services as an Arbitrator since 1988 and as a Mediator for Private and Court
ordered Mediation since 1995.
Dispute Resolution Training:
Civil Mediation Training - Coast to Coast Mediation Center; Conflict
Resolution Training - Los Angeles County Bar Assn./Dispute Resolution
Services; Mediating the Litigated Case - Pepperdine University; Advanced
Mediation Skills; Cross Cultural Dispute Mediation, California Academy of

University Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution; Non -Verbal ADR
•
Communication Skills, Southern California Mediation Association;

AVAILABILITY
My current schedule allows me a great deal of flexibility and I presently
anticipate I could be available to provide services up to 35 hours a month.
This is adjustable, depending on the specific circumstances involved.
PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS IN HERMOSA BEACH
I do not have any current existing professional relationships in Hermosa
Beach.

CONCLUSION
Beyond the above specific legal experience, I have had considerable success
in resolving disputes as a mediator. I feel this is due, in part, to the fact that
I have very strong interpersonal abilities and am particularly skilled in
dealing, and establishing meaningful communication, with a wide variety of
people and diverse personalities. I would welcome an opportunity to further
discuss my background, interests and abilities with the panel designated by
the city manager. Thank you for your consideration.

Mr. Stephen Burrell,
City Manager
City of Hermosa Beach
Dear Steve,
September 23, 2006
Enclosed is the Center's response to the City's Request for Proposal concerning the
provision of dispute resolution services for the City of Hermosa Beach.
I have been involved in the delivery of such services in our South Bay community for
about twenty years, working most of that time with the Los Angeles County Bar
Association -- Dispute Resolution Services, and now as Executive Director of the South
Bay Center for Dispute Resolution The Center's focus is the South Bay where I have
lived in Hermosa Beach for over thirty years, serving as a Member of the Hermosa Beach
City School Board for the past five years and teaching at El Camino College for thirty
five years. I have been actively involved in our community over the years as Mayor and
City Council Member for the City of Hermosa Beach for eight years, and through my
participation in the Hermosa Beach Education Foundation,Sister City Association,
Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and fundraising for 1736'House, among others.
The Center currently has contractual relationships with the Cities of Torrance, Redondo
Beach, Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach. As you may know, the basic format of
those arrangements includes a quarterly Operations Fee to cover the costs associated with
information and referrals, City staff meetings, trainings and community outreach, and a
Case File Fee where the Center works with the parties involved in a dispute to try to
resolve their differences. There is no charge to the parties when referred to the Center by
City staff or website. The specifics of the contract are unique and negotiable between the
Center and each City.
The Center's current contract for services with the City of Hennosa Beach is $8,000. I
believe the existing arrangement of an Operations Fee of $800 per quarter and a Case
File Fee of $150 per opened case has worked well and 1 am proposing to maintain it.
Since late 2001, 143 cases have been opened with 3455 contacts with the parties
involved, 1305 information and referrals have been made and a total of 1865 persons
have been served.
X have always viewed the importance of the Center's services as involving more than just
convening mediation meetings and helping the parties to resolve their differences, A
• •
great deal of my time is also spent working with City staff to help make current policies
and procedures more workable, providing community workshops (landlord/tenant
relations) and doing trainings for City staff in conflict resolution. Viewing the Center's
services as part of a community-based problem solving approach, I regularly attend
Police Department briefings and the Center has sponsored Information Exchange
Workshops involving Code Enforcement/Nuisance Abatement and Animal
Control/Community Services staffs from the Center's contracting cities.
The Center's relationship with Hermosa Beach is more than just a contract. It is my
commitment to our community. I look forward to continuing the very positive working
relationship that has developed between the Center and the City of Hermosa Beach.
Sincerely,
Lance Widman,

Dear Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council:
I am writing in support of Mr. Lance Widman and the South Bay Center Dispute
Resolution Services' application to provide their services to the City of Hermosa Beach.
I'm happy to have known Lance socially and professionally for more than 30 years. I've
served with him on the boards of many community organizations including 1736 House,
the South Bay Free Clinic, and the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Arts. He has a well-
earned reputation for intelligence, enthusiasm, dedication and hard work.
I also had the honor of serving with him on the Hermosa Beach City Council from 1976 --
1982 where he distinguished himself as a man of integrity and an able leader who worked
tirelessly to improve the quality of life in this community.
As a member of the City Council, Lance was instrumental in developing the city's first
ombudsmen program which was considered `revolutionary' at the time. Not only did it
provide citizens with a constructive and fair process for resolving disputes it also freed
city staff from having to deal with contentious issues on a daily basis and it allowed them
to spend more time on their primary duties.
Lance's South Bay Center — Dispute Resolution Services has built an enviable reputation
in Hermosa Beach and in the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance.
Friends and neighbors who have used the Center's services are unanimous in their praise.
"Problem solved," is how one friend put it to me, "and it didn't cost me an arm and a
leg." I understand that the Center has a 70% success rate in resolving disputes. But for the
Center I'm sure that many of these disputes would have ended in the legal system or on a
city council agenda.
I urge you to give the South Bay Center's application careful study. If you do I am
confident you will select them to continue to provide dispute resolution services in
Hermosa Beach.

It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Lance Widman of the South Bay Center for
Dispute Resolution.
I am the retired City Attorney of Redondo Beach, serving from 1993 - 2005. During that period I was
regularly involved with Mr. Widman, first through the Los Angeles County Bar Association's Dispute
Resolution program and beginning in 2000 through the South Bay Center program. I considered Mr.
Widinan's mediation services an asset to Redondo Beach.
Having dispute resolution available for referrals by various city departments has been extremely successful.
A key ingredient in assisting residents is the skill and professionalism of the mediator. Mr. Willman over
an eighteen year period has established his reputation in the South Bay as a fair and neutral person. My wife
and I live in Redondo Beach an regularly come in contact with neighbors and residents who have used the
program. The overwhelming majority of participants obtain successful resolution in their case. Even those
who have not completely solved their complaint still have had positive comments about Mr. Widman.
I have known Lance for nearly thirty years. I respect his mediation skills, his service and contributions in
local government, and his teaching at El Camino College. Redondo Beach has been well served by the South
Bay Center for Dispute Resolution and I can strongly recommend this program to any community.
Sincerely,
,,(a

This is written in support of the application of South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution
whom I am informed is reapplying for a contract with the City of Hermosa Beach to continue
providing services resolving disputes. I am writing as a resident of Hermosa Beach, a consumer
of dispute resolution services, my personal experience as a trained mediator in dispute resolution
through the Los Angeles County Bar Association and my knowledge of the effectiveness of this
group, and particularly, Lance Widman over the last 15 years:
I first experienced Mr. Widman's effectiveness as one able to resolve disputes when I was
refereed to Mr. Widman by the Los Angeles County Bar Association. I was seeking resolution of
a dispute involving my former church and one of its former pastors. Specifically, a dispute arose
between a former pastor over an employment issue and the Lutheran Church of the Good
Shepherd in Torrance. In a process that lasted approximately three-quarters of a day, Mr.
Widman and the two individuals with whom he associated for the purpose of resolving this
dispute, successfully obtained a resolution which was accepted as fair and final. Following Mr.
Widman's efforts, the former pastor was able to move on with his life, and the church was able to
continue in its growth. Both sides were able to avoid a potentially discordant and potentially
harmful course of litigation through the judicial process. Having watched the success of Mr..
Widman, I became an ardent supporter of the mediation process.
After relocating my residence to Hermosa Beach, and my office to Manhattan Beach, I
had occasion to reacquaint myself with Mr. Widman,_ and continue to observe his success, in
diverting individuals and businesses from what would otherwise be certain litigation.
Mediation is an extremely difficult process, and invites failure by its very nature. Mr.
Widman and the mediators with whom he is associated with South Bay Center for Dispute
Resolution deserve the respect and gratitude of the community.

worked with Lance Widman and the South Bay Center Dispute Resolution (SBCDR) for over ten years.
The service that Mr. Widman provides to our city has been professional, effective, and invaluable. His

construction officer program. Mr. Widman has personally attended several construction community
meetings to present his services to and meet with local builders. Additionally, Mr. Widman and his
agency participated in lengthy neighborhood and local parish meetings, which resulted in guidelines for
future construction or modification that may affect surrounding residents. He has consistently been able
to resolve a majority of disputes avoiding costly litigation.

I am writing in support of the City of Hermosa Beach renewing its dispute resolution services
contract with Mr. Lance Widman, Executive Director of the South Bay Resolution Center
(Center). Mr. Widman is a colleague of mine whom I have had the pleasure of supervising
during our joint tenure at the Los Angeles County Bar Association Dispute Resolution Center
(DRS), and with whom I now work as a member of his board for the Center.
Alternative dispute management/resolution is fast becoming the preferred method of responding
to conflicts in our municipalities and on school campuses_ Reasons for this growing trend -
include reduced occurrences of litigation, improved human relations, and settlement
agreements that last. My work with Lance over the years has supported these outcomes in a
variety of conflict situations (e.g., 'neighbor -neighbor, landlord -tenant, business -consumer,
student -student). He is a highly skilled mediator and administrator. While working for DRS Mr.
Widman single-handedly managed our South Bay office and achieved. exceptional resolution
rates for our clients. He is extremely ethical and holds himself to high professional standards.
I urge the city of Hermosa Beach to continue its long-established and positive working
relationship with Mr. Widman and the South Bay Resolution Center. The renewal of such a
relationship would no doubt provide continuity of quality dispute management/resolution options
for its citizenry. It would also lend to other efforts and collaborations that the City has embarked
upon to improve and maintain a civil society.
If I can be of further assistance I can be reached at my office at (626) 943-5612.

To whom it may concern:
August 2, 2006
I am a sworn police officer for a major South Bay police department, in the
southern California area, of Los Angeles County (twenty-seven years tenure).
Throughout my career, and presently, I regularly utilize the services of the. South Bay
Center for Dispute Resolution to assist me with the numerous situations I respond to in
my profession. The Executive Director, Lance Widman, is an experienced conflict
resolution expert, and an outstanding individual (conscientious, knowledgeable and
organized). The Center provides a variety of alternative dispute resolution services
(conciliation, mediation, negotiation and group facilitation), serving the twelve
neighboring South Bay cities.
Over the years, I referred numerous cases to the Center. The Center's innovative
conflict resolution techniques prevented and settled hundreds of disputes. By resolving
these situations, the Center afforded the parties opportunities to avoid litigations and
improve capacities to arrive at mutually acceptable resolutions. The staff's experiences
in resolving complex interpersonal, organizational and policy disputes, ranging from
landlord/tenant to neighbor to domestic, and much more, resulted in "freeing up"
countless law enforcement hours (response, resource and investigation).
Part of my California State University graduate program studies encompassed
working at a dispute resolution center for one semester (internship). I worked for the
South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution during the spring of 2003. I experienced first
hand just how valuable the Center's work could be. During that semester, over 90% of
the disputes handled by the staff were resolved at a fraction of the cost of hiring an
attorney. The Center offered client convenience, confidentiality, and cost effectiveness.
The Center's services empowered the parties to create their own solutions, thus
emphasizing ownership and accountability. In one situation, the Center's staff handled a
multi-party/ multi -issue between a church and neighbors regarding construction and
lighting. What would have taken months in litigation to resolve, this complex and
regional concern, involving many people and public agencies, became a mutual
agreement between the parties, because the Center tailored the process to meet their
needs. The staff guided the parties toward a superior alternative to a legal process that
sometimes demonstrates inflexibility.
• •
1 cannot say enough about Executive Director Lance Widman and his staff. They
are superb individuals — interested, caring, positive and sensitive professionals. Their
successes predicate themselves on their uncanny abilities and skills to listen reflectively.
1 continually hear raving revues from the other cities on how valuable the South Bay
Center for Dispute Resolution is in solving a wide variety of disputes, while assisting law
enforcement so their efforts may be channeled to other areas.
Please contact me at (805) 527-7620 (residence), or (310) 379-2477 x12391#
(employment), to answer any questions or provide further details about this marvelous
program. Thank you very much.
Respectfully,

Gentlemen:
Please see the following recap of my recent experience with South Bay Center for
Dispute Resolution.
My case involved a tree trimming dispute and eventually included three neighbors. I
contacted the Center at the request of a Hermosa Beach police officer early this year.
Lance Widman, Executive Director returned my call within 24 hours. I gave Lance the
circumstances and my impressions of the dispute and spoke with him at length regarding
his services and potential outcomes. Lance's experience with similar disputes gave him a
wealth of knowledge which he was very willing to share. I understand he provided the
same help to the other neighbors participating in this dispute as well. Lance made a
number of calls to arrange a meeting time that was acceptable for all the neighbors. He
provided a mediator who was experienced, knowledgeable and professional. The
mediator provided ground rules for the meeting, worked diligently to record the various
requests of the neighbors involved and worked to a conclusion in one meeting. The entire
meeting lasted less than two hours. While I was not entirely satisfied with the outcome, I
believe that the neighbors involved would not have reached any acceptable conclusion
without the services provided by Lance and his group.
I feel Lance and South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution provide a valuable resource for
Hermosa Beach. I highly recommend Lance and would not hesitate to call him again.
Based on my experience, the Center is a much more efficient and effective means of
resolving disputes than using the City's General Service's personnel and police officers.

To Whom It May Concern
This letter is in reference to the services provided to Torrance Police Animal Control
from the South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution.
From January 2004 to the present, 51 animal related cases were forwarded through
Dispute Resolution. Over 80% of those cases were resolved by using mediation and
many of the issues involved minor disputes between neighbors.
The Dispute Resolution process has enabled the Animal Control staff to devote more
time and energy towards issues of higher priority. This process also provides for a rapid
resolution of problems in very professional manner, while documenting the cases for
future reference.
A recent workshop hosted by the Center for Dispute Resolution provided a forum for
Animal Control members from surrounding communities to work together on common
problems. All attendees agreed that having this tool to resolve complaints on animal
control matters was very valuable.

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is written to recommend the South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution
(SBCDR) under the direction of Lance Widman, for selection in the REP process
currently proceeding in the City of Hermosa Beach.
I have been a volunteer mediator for this organization for over 12 years and thus can
provide a unique and well qualified analysis and recommendation to those in position to
make the DRS selection in Hermosa Beach.
During my time with the organization I have conducted and/or participated in close to
100 mediations. I was initially trained in 1990 by the LA County Bar Dispute Resolution.
Service which served the entire LA County. Lance was one of the trainers at this time.
And being a resident of Hermosa Beach since 1960 (46 years), it was a natural follow-on
for me to become involved in the SBCDR.
I am one of many volunteer mediators that Lance can depend on for this service in the
South Bay, but in particular, Hermosa Beach. I have found that Lance has an extremely
broad and deep understanding of the mediation process and has a unique talent for
recognizing how to field and treat each mediation request from the first telephone request
by a disputant to the final post -mediation follow-up.
I personally get great personal benefit by contributing to the community (Hermosa and
the greater S. Bay) as I see very positive results from our clients (the disputants) who
enter the mediation process in disarray and very often leave in greater faith in the
resolutions foraged by our SBCDS and an absence (or abatement) of the problems that
brought them in. I would not continue in a volunteer capacity if this were not so. And...
this does not happen automatically; it requires good mediators, good administration
execution and a disciplined adherence to the current best practices for the mediation
process. Of course a factor in the current success of the SBCDR is the incumbent
management process that has built on a long history of successes in Hermosa Beach and
the greater South Bay.
A key aspect for what makes the SBCDRS work is the skilled competent administration
of the SBCDS, conducted by Lance Widman. I honestly can't imagine how one person
manages the disputants, the mediators, and the follow-thru for the volume of mediation
requests that come thru the system. I will tell you that the most value criteria (as a
mediator) that I see in Lance personally is his ability to pick the right mediators for the
particular clients and his ability to ensure that we mediators are not burdened by the
paper and bureaucracy involved with mediations; this lets us ply our skills as mediators
with minimal bureaucratic side issues.
•
In sum, please select the SDCDR based on the history of its successes over the last
several years, the competent management of the organization, and the quantity and
quality of its large staff of mediators. I am sure you will find very similar
recommendations and comments from my many fellow mediators if they provide
comments to you as I have.
I would be happy to elaborate on any of the foregoing discussion and am available to
answer any clarifying questions from the above
era

The City of Manhattan Beach has been fortunate to work together with Lance Widman and the
South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution for many years. During this time, the City has referred
a broad range of civil conflicts ranging from barking dogs, to fence disputes,to parking and loud
neighbors.
The Center's knowledgeable staff has successfully mediated these disputes in a timely and
professional manner. It has been our experience that once a matter has been referred to the
Center, its staff remains in close communication with the City and all participants. The skill of
the Center's staff is evidenced by the fact that most of the cases referred are resolved quickly and
amicably with the file being closed and no further action being taken by the City. These cases
might well have escalated into criminal prosecution were it not for Lance's adept handling and
seasoned and measured mediation skills. Many of the participants have thanked our office for
providing such a valuable resource to the community.
We are grateful to have Lance's services available. His expertise is well known and we a J- aware
that his skills make all our lives easier.

Re: South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution
Dear Sir or Madam,
I understand that you will be evaluating the services provided by the South Bay Center for
Dispute Resolution in the next few months. I've been involved with the Center in a range of
capacities: as a Board member, volunteer mediator and resident of Hermosa Beach. In each
case my experience has been extremely positive. I hope that you will renew the Center's
contract and increase its funding for the coming year.
Serving on the Board of Directors for the Center since 2002, I've noted its sound management
and keen commitment to meeting community needs. I've been especially impressed by the
Center's ability to keep administrative costs to a minimum and run as lean as possible by
using volunteer staff and mediators.
The Center fills an important role in the community; in dealing with neighbor and business
conflicts and disputes, it relieves the load on police and City staff so that they can focus on
their primary duties. The Center has an outstanding rate of success in resolving disputes and
in defusing conflicts before they become more serious.
I've served as a volunteer mediator in the South Bay since 1992, including several mediations
a year for the Center. I find the quality and training of the Center's mediators to be
exceptionally high, many of them trained by the Director, Lance Widman. For 20 years,
Lance has been a well-known and well-respected educator in Los Angeles in both dispute
resolution theory and practice. He provides important training in Dispute Resolution to the
local schools and to the police departments in the South Bay. Moreover, numerous officers
who have had formal instruction as mediators have done their hands-on internships with the
Center. There are in fact very few opportunities for mediators to get practical experience in
actual live mediation, especially supervised by such an experienced individual.
Continuity is also a consideration. The Center's services are well-known throughout the
South Bay and many residents rely on it as a trusted resource. It would be a serious loss to
the community if the Center's contract were not renewed and expanded.
Please feel free to call me if I can offer any additional information about the Center and its
important role in our South Bay community.
Sincerely,
T. H. Burnett

I have worked with Mr. Widman on several different cases throughout the City of Redondo
Beach involving both residents and businesses. Several of the calls for service that get referred to
me deal with non -criminal situations. The majority of them deal with Civil ("quality of life") issues.
With Mr. Widman and the services provided by Dispute Resolution, Iam able to work. with
Lance to help resolve these issues; while giving me time to concentrate on other matters involving
the Police Department and the community. Mr. Widman is able to take the time to work closely
with the parties involved in the dispute, and in most cases, develop a solution that all parties can
agree upon. Otherwise, these situations end up going to civil court costing all parties considerable
amounts of money, effort and time.
I 'believe that these services provided by Mr. Widman and his staff save the City of Redondo
Beach the cost of utilizing City employees in dealing with these issues. We have worked closely
ever the years and have been able to close many cases, which otherwise would never have
concluded or would end up with someone possibly being injured. Mr. Widman and his staff also
' rork with Animal Control and Code Enforcement. I spoke briefly with Municipal Enforcement
Supervisor Pattie Ziello who has had the same positive results while working with Mr. Widman.
I believe that Mr. Widman's efforts, along with his staff significantly reduce the amount of
`hon -emergency" calls that our patrol officers would otherwise have to respond to. Thus, freeing
them up to focus on issues related to police patrol and response to emergency calls for service. One
-very important fact is that Mr. Widman, and his staff provide a forum bringing members of the
community together to solve these issues themselves.

Their ability to successfully mediate disputes has saved the City countless dollars and staffing hours.
Further, the Center staff has provided excellent in house training for police and code enforcement
officers focusing on active listening skills and defusing difficult situations with irate customers.
The Center has resolved over 200 disputes referred by the Police Department, City Attorney, Animal
Control and Code Enforcement among others, under the City's contract with the Center, at no cost to the
parties, with a success rate exceeding 70%. Further, several hundred residents per year who have sought

To Whom It May Concern:
Recently, I have had occasion to call upon the services -of Lance Widmarrand
the South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution. I found Mr. Widman to be
knowledgeable, prompt in responding to requests, and above all, candid and
forthright in his dealings with me.
Mr. Widman was able to initiate a dialog with a property owner who had
refused to take my calls over a 90 -day period. Lance's follow-up was thorough
and efficient. He even went -so far as to recommend other agencies- that- might
assist me with this problem.
Mr. Widman's service was invaluable. The fact that our city provides such
resources to its residents is yet another reason that makes Hermosa Beach_ such
a great place to live.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about the excellent working
relationship my staff and I have with Lance Widman and about the terrific
service he has always provided to our Housing Division.
I have known Lance professionally for many years. Each year, for as long back
as I can recall, Lance has agreed to be a featured speaker at our city's annual
landlord/tenant fair housing workshop. Lance's presentations are always
informative, interesting, relevant, engaging, and delivered with much
enthusiasm. The attendees, as well as staff, really seem to enjoy and learn a lot
from Lance.
Lance also serves as the Hearing Officer for our Section 8 Rent Assistance
Program. The position requires Lance to be familiar with the guidelines of the
program and to decide whether or not to uphold our staff decisions to terminate
tenants who we believe seriously violated program rules.
The Hearing Officer's decision is final; therefore it is extremely important that
Lance carefully examine and consider each case on its own merits. I can say
without hesitation that he has always done that. And even during the most
challenging of hearings, Lance has always managed to keep the proceedings
under control. He listens and asks questions impartially, making sure everyone
has an opportunity to discuss all relevant facts and to respond to all allegations,
concerns and questions. Mostly, Lance has ultimately ruled in favor of the
Housing Authority, yet it is to Lance's credit that we have never had a tenant
complain about the hearing process itself.
Finally, our staff also refers tenants who have disputes with their neighbors or
landlords to the South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution. In some cases, I know
that Lance has taken much of his own time to assist tenants who were especially
• •
in need. For instance, not too long ago there was an elderly woman facing
eviction from one of Redondo Beach's senior housing complexes, and Lance
spent many hours helping her.
In conclusion, the South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution is a valuable resource
to the office and our community. We hope to continue the positive working
relationship we have with Lance and the Center for many years to come.

my understanding that you are considering retaining the SBCDR to provide arbitration and mediation
services to your community. Not only is this an important social decision for your community but it is an
important economic one as well.
As a former Prosecutor and City Attorney for a large South Bay city, I can say from personal
experience that had my office had the services of SBCDR available to us, it would have made "life in
the big city" easier for all parties. While my office had to make due with existing resources, we could
certainly have benefited from having an outside source for resolving neighborhood complaints. These
complaints, which included a myriad of problems from barking dogs to property line disputes to noisy
parties had a way of getting out of control if they were not dealt with quickly and effectively. The
diversion of City staff to deal with these issues meant that some other City function, be it prosecution or
police would have to suffer.
Resolving disputes between citizens or citizens and agencies by utilizing the services of SBCDR will
enable all parties to have a voice and a fair hearing in matters that concern them. The satisfactory
resolution of such issues reduces the build up of animosity and tensions within a City while at the same
time reducing the costs to bring these matters to a conclusion.
Over the years, the SBCDR has been instrumental in accomplishing these tasks for a number of Cities
in the South Bay. The local and regional experience of its mediators and the accumulated wisdom of its
hands-on Director, Lance Widman, present a package that can provide significant benefit to a cash-
strapped agency and allow it to more wisely deploy its economic resources.
I strongly urge you to contract with the SBCDR.
Thank you.
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Chris Roosen and I am a Police Officer with the City of Torrance. I'm
writing this letter to express my personal view on how important the South Bay Center
for Dispute Resolution is to a Police Officer and any citizen who is looking for education,
guidance and direction in resolving conflict.
As a Police Officer, we are tasked on a daily basis to resolve conflict from within the
community. This can range from "Business Disputes" to the most common, "Neighbor
Disputes." When a Police Officer responds to a dispute he is tasked to resolve the
situation in a timely manner so he can be available for the next call_ Although a majority
of the disputes are resolved, not all disputes can be resolved completely. In situations
where disputes can not be immediately resolved, the South Bay Center for Dispute
Resolution provides officers and citizens an excellent and vital resource for conflict
resolution.
As a South Bay Dispute Resolution counselor, I have recognized the benefits the
Center provides. Having a dispute resolution Center available can decrease a Police
Departments call for service and it provides guidance and direction to all involved
parties on how to properly resolve disputes.
The South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution is a well established association that
provides a high level of service and creative conflict resolution techniques. The Center
would be a true asset to any city and an excellent tool for its citizens and their Police
Department.

I am writing you today to express my desire to have the City of Hermosa Beach continue
contracting for the Services of the South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution operated by
Lance Widman. I believe that this city -provided service is a great example of something
that we do right in the city and that we should continue on with the proven expertise of
Lance Widman.
I first became aware of the South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution through the HB
Police Department in connection with a dispute I had with my neighbor. I had first-hand
experience with the services of Mr. Widman in August of 2003. I used his service to help
mitigate this neighbor dispute. I found Mr. Widman to be professional every step of the
way. Since I had met Mr. Widman previously (I did not know about this service at that
time), I thought he might have a bias and see things "more my way." My experience was
quite the opposite, Mr. Widman was completely neutral. This personal experience
showed me that Mr. Widman was a true professional in this field. In this case the problem
was resolved.
I believe that it is in the city's best interest to have dispute resolution contract services
and to continue to have this program available. I believe that this service will save our
city police time and that it is a great asset to the city. Finally I believe that it is in the
city's best interest to continue contracting with the services of the South Bay Center for
Dispute Resolution Center because Lance Widman has a proven record of providing
excellent service to our city and as a resident of the city he has tirelessly strived to make
it better. I can't imagine a better person to provide this service.

I would like to offer this letter of support for South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution
(SBCDR), and particularly the Director, Lance Widman. The service that SBCDR
provides has become a valuable resource to my staff and me. We frequently refer
citizens to SBCDR, mostly for those types of cases in which there is not a violation of
the Municipal Code, but the issues are such that much consternation is caused
between the parties. In an overwhelming majority of the time, SBCDR is able to get
a resolution to the problem saving the City time and resources in these matters. The
citizens are equally pleased because their neighborhood issues are resolved without
enduring the angst of going to court, testifying, etc.
I previously managed the parking enforcement and animal control functions in the.
City. The City enjoyed a very productive working relationship with SBCDR,
especially in the area of barking dog complaints. If I cari be of further assistance,
please feel free to contact me at (310) 318-0637.

RE: Endorsement of South Bay Center Program
Dear Lance,
This is to express my complete support and endorsement of your program. As a member of the •
Board of the South Bay Dispute Resolution Center, I have been extremely impressed with the
tremendous acceptance by virtually every South Bay local government of the work of the Center. In my
over 30 years as an active Arbitrator and Mediator, I have not encountered a community-based program
which is more effective than yours. You have been serving the critical conflict resolution needs of
many South Bay cities with complete success and acceptance. I believe every city should have a
program like yours. The South Bay Center is certainly worthy of consideration by any city.
Mediation of local disputes is one of the most important elements of our current society. Civil
discussion and settlement of differences is what it is all about. Your Center has been in the forefront in
Southern California in effecting the peaceful resolution of impasses between neighbors, local
governments and the public, and business owners and customers.
Local governments have been well -served by your programs. I look forward eagerly to
continuing our relationship. As a Mediator and Arbitrator myself, I know the importance of 'due
process' mechanisms. I do hope that local governments everywhere will continue to support your
Center as the best example of what good, professional expertise is all about.
Sincerely,
Philip Tamoush

To Whom it May Concern:
The City of Torrance Environmental Division has made use of the services of
Lance Widman and the Dispute Resolution Center on numerous occasions
throughout the years. We have found him to be a very valuable resource in
helping to resolve some of our more difficult neighborhood issues. He keeps us.
involved throughout the process, so that we know what is going on every step of
the way, and are aware of the final disposition.
One of the most recent mediations Mr. Widman undertook for us involved
neighbors with issues regarding a fence, property lines, slopes and usage of the
sloped area. Although it took some doing, he was able to help the parties come
to a resolution that was satisfactory to both, and avoid the issue spilling over into
the Planning Commission.
Mr. Widman has made presentations to our staff on several occasions, helping
us to understand the services he offers and sharing his insight into the code
enforcement process, as well as facilitating meetings with other local code
enforcement departments to share information.
We highly recommend the services of Lance Widman and the Dispute Resolution
Center.

Re: South Bay Dispute Center Dispute Resolution/RFP
Dear Mayor and City Council:
It has come to my attention that South Bay Center Dispute Resolution ("SBCDR") is submitting a
bid for contract extension for mediation services in your fine community. I have had the distinct
pleasure of working with the Center and in particular its director Lance Widman on many
occasions in recent years. I would like to offer an opinion for the Council to consider in the
process of your review of the outstanding proposal.
It is apparent the Center offers a unique and valuable service to the local community in many
ways. In a world centering on congestion, the promotion of personal issues and adjudication of
property rights the mediation services offered by Mr. Widman and his staff fill a vital role in
helping citizens_ obtain immediate, informed and reasonably -priced resolution services. Mr.
Widman's abilities,in particular emphasize both the intellectual and practical aspects of his
personal character which are essential elements in gaining the respect and attention needed to
make a meaningful contribution to any mediation or quasi -legal situation.
I have observed the Center utilizes top flight personnel under its umbrella of mediation services
and as a lawyer of twenty three years good standing in this State can only say there are many
things Mr. and Widman and his staff can provide that the legal community cannot effectively
provide. I would expect that these services, when approved under the proposed contract will
provide -an incredibly useful tool for both administrative agencies and law enforcement within the
City to use for issue -resolution purposes. The net effect is to lighten the public workload and
providing a meaningful alternative to citizens markedly reducing public complaints and the
ensuing legal friction.
I would be more than happy to answer any questions or offer this endorsement in person for I feel
very strongly about the positive nature of having an option such as SBCDR at your disposal. I
would also observe that any participants or attorneys I have met in the courseof mediation
matters have nothing but complimentary words for the fashion in which the Center has handled
matters with which I am familiar.

Subject: Commendable Performance by Lance Widman of South Bay Center Dispute Resolution
To Whom It May Concern:
I have worked with Lance Widman for over ten years. His work performance as Executive Director for
the South Bay Center Dispute Resolution and for the fowler Dispute Resolution Service has always
been professional and effective. As Building Official for the City of Manhattan Beach, I have called
upon Lance Widman to assist with at least one to two cases per month. Because the City of Manhattan
Beach has no resource to resolve private neighbor property damage disputes or rental disagreements
between the tenant and landlord, Mr. Widman's services have been invaluable not only for this city hall,
but more importantly for the residents and customers of city hall. He has been consistently able to
resolve a majority of these disputes outside the costly court and litigation arena.

Stephen Burrell, City Manager
City of Hermosa Beach
1315 Valley Drive
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Dear Mr. Burrell:
This letter serves to express my interest in providing dispute resolution services to Hermosa Beach
residents and businesses. I am a skilled and experienced mediator with contracts to supply mediation
services for a variety of agencies including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(E.E.O.C.),California State Employee Mediation Program (SEMP) Dept. of Insurance, and both the Los
Angeles Appellate and Superior Courts. As you will note from the attached resume, I have substantial
full-time experience, acquired over a period of many years, in investigations and mediation consulting.
My law school training has provided me with substantial knowledge of contract language and my
experience includes dispute and preventive mediations, investigations, and education, research, and
outreach. As an experienced businessman, I have participated in numerous and diverse bargaining
circumstances and I possess knowledge and experience of joint processes that improve labor-
management relationships. I have many years of experience in human resources and assessment.
I am a graduate of Western State College of Law where I earned a Juris Doctor degree.
My studies included conflict resolution as well as the basic law curriculum. In addition to my
law school training, I have completed the classroom training requirements of Basic Mediation
Training as required by the California Dispute Resolutions Programs Act and hold a certificate
of completion from the Mediation Center of Orange County. I have completed additional
training courses in the following subjects and from the following institutions in conflict
resolution: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Labor Management Conflicts,
Los Angeles Superior Court, San Diego Superior Court; Mediation Center of Orange County,
Los Angeles Bar Association Fee Dispute Program, Los Angeles Appellate Court, Westminster
Superior Court Program, Community Services Program, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach
Conflict Resolution Program, Cross -Cultural Conflict Resolution, Advanced Conflict
Resolution, The Do's and Don'ts of Non -Verbal Communication.
I have mediated and/or investigated over 900 cases since 1999, including 600+ cases for Los
Angeles & San Diego Superior Court, Los Angeles County Bar Association Fee Dispute Program,
Mediation Center of Orange County, Department of Fair Employment &Housing, California
Department of Insurance, and Orange County Fair Housing .I have just returned from an overseas
trip where I mediated cases for the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) with a
95% success rate. As an experienced businessman, as well as through my law school training, 1
bring a wealth of talents to the process. The diversity of my background enables me to relate to the
complexities of the issues at hand and help to create an atmosphere that encourages solutions. As
you will note from the accompanying resume, I have substantial experience acquired over a period
of many years, in investigation, mediation and negotiation_ For more than twenty-five years, I
worked for Bor-Air Freight Company, a worldwide transportation company. As Executive Vice -
President, part of my duties included mediation and personnel issues. I conducted program
assessment and developed policies and procedures, especially in relation to the anti -discrimination
and equal opportunity issues and the various labor contracts of the company. I am well aware of the
confidentiality issues involved.
I possess sound facilitation and problem -solving skills that have been demonstrated in my high
success rate. The issues I deal with are related to equal employment, work discipline, wrongful
termination, unfair labor practices, landlord -tenant, homeowner associations, family disputes, consumer
affairs. I have collaborated with employees, management, and labor unions involving adverse actions
ranging from reprimands and suspensions to terminations. I am able to communicate effectively and I
make use of my skills in information systems in order to facilitate the process.
My law school training covered all applicable laws and I also participated in many
seminars sponsored by the E.E.O.C. to keep me up-to—date on the latest additions to the laws. As
a consultant, I am very aware of the remedies available for those people who were subject to
discrimination and am familiar with the process. Many of my investigations involve issues of
reasonable accommodation and healthcare. I have been responsible for developing alternatives
and collaborating with human resource professionals on workers compensation, disability,
retirement, and return to -work. In this regard, I have been responsible for establishing creative
modifications to usual and customary job duties as well as neighborhood complaints.
My schedule is flexible and can be adapted according to the needs of your program. I am
confident that I would be a valuable addition to your program and welcome the opportunity to meet
with you to discuss the enclosed proposal.

The Mediator should be able to mediate 2 cases every month -24 per year, if needed, vs.
the present 16-18 cases.
The Mediator would also be available for telephone sessions, as needed.

Mayor Sam Edgerton,
City Council
Dear Sam and Members of the City Council,
January 17, 2007
This letter is a follow up to questions and concerns raised at the December City Council
meeting about the City Manager's recommendation to renew the City's contract with the
South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution.
As you know, mediation is a process that usually leads to a mutually satisfactory
resolution of a dispute. Whether an actual mediation meeting is held, the resolution is
developed by the parties themselves with the assistance of a trained neutral mediator. It is.
not the function of the mediator to act as a judge or arbitrator to impose a decision on the
parties, but rather to work with the parties to fashion a successful agreement. Because the
process is voluntary, if one party does not care to pursue the matter, then the process is
concluded. However, we try to convince the parties that an attempt to resolve their
dispute is preferable rather than allowing the dispute to continue.
The intervention process does not always involve a face to face meeting of the parties.
The process starts at the point of initial contact (intake) by the Center with the parties,
discussing their concerns, the history of their interaction, the facts and passions,
underlying the issues and what they would like to see as an outcome. Most disputes are
resolved during these one-on-one discussions with no meeting of the parties. A most
important rule in this process, along with the neutrality of the mediator, is that these
discussions are confidential.
Resolving a dispute depends in large part on the good faith participation of the parties as
well as the skills of the mediator. For any number of reasons a resolution may not be
achieved. However, I am proud of the Center's track record of successfully resolving
over 70% of our case referrals.
The affected parties are not always pleased with the process, the outcome and the
mediator. However, when this happens I discuss this with them during follow up to find
out why and what could have been done differently. We always strive for improvement in
the quality of our services and the people who deliver them, and comments are viewed as
opportunities for growth and change.
• •
For those who maychoose to question the professionalism or personal qualities of those
associated with the Center and the delivery of its services, I respectfully refer them to the
two -dozen testimonials submitted earlier from City Attorneys, Police Officers, Code
Enforcement and Animal Control star; private attorneys, mediators, and Hermosans who
have been consumers of the Center's services.
In closing, the South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution is a resource for City staff that
allows Police Officers, Code Enforcement and Animal Control staff and the City
Prosecutor, among others, to devote their limited time and energies to other higher
priorities. This also results in considerable dollar savings to the City. It is our goal to
achieve a more livable and peaceful community.
Should you or any member of the Council have any further questions or need additional
information, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration of renewing
of the City's contract with the Center. I look forward to continuing our most positive and
productive working relationship.
Sincerely,
Lance Widman,
Executive Director

Subject: Dispute resolution services
Please make this email a part of the minutes for the January 23, 2007
meeting of the city council.
Dear Councilmembers,
You will once again be reviewing the contract for dispute resolution
services at the 1/23/07 meeting of the. Council. Our current provider
of dispute resolution services, Lance Widman dba South Bay Center for
Dispute Resolution, has a problem that is unique to our city --that is
that Mr. Widman has made himself into a contentious figure. As you all
know, Mr. Widman is also a School Board Member and during the past
couple of years, he has made numerous public statements both oral and
written attacking various members of the community. Moreover, Mr.
Widman was videotaped taking down a campaign sign during the June 2006
election campaign. Although his action may not be technically criminal,
one must wonder about his ethics since he only removed a "No on A"
sign" ---because he was supporting Yes on A.
If one reviews,Mr.Widman's application which is part of the agenda
packet for the 12/12/06 Council meeting one will see that Mr. Widman has
numerous letters of recommendation for his services. I'm sure he's a
fine mediator. However, we here have a different situation and that is
•that Mr. Widman is well known in the community for both is vitriolic
statements and his "confiscation" of a campaign sign. His actions at a
minimum create a perception that he's not unbiased and at worst make him
out to be totally unsuited to be a mediator in our city. I would add
that if I was a professional mediator, I would be also be unsuited
because of my public activities in our city through the years. I would
never even dream of holding myself out. as someone who is unbiased
vis-a-vis Hermosa Beach.
I strongly urge you to give the dispute resolution contract to someone
other than Mr. Widman. If it were any other city, I certainly would be
less inclined to protest but we need someone who is clearly unbiased and
above reproach. Do a favor for the residents of our city and give the
contract to someone else.
In a few years, perhaps Mr. Widman will again be suited for dispute
resolution services in our city ---when he's toned down his rhetoric and
the sign "confiscation" incident is a distant memory.
Sincerely,
Fred Huebscher

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
December 12, 2006
DISPUTE RESOLUTION SERVICES
Recommendation:
That the. City Council receive and file this report and direct the City Manager to execute
the agreement.
Background:
The City has provided dispute resolution services to our residents and businesses, through
private contracts for over 15 years. For several years, the service has been provided by
South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution and prior to 2000 the service was provided by
Dispute Resolution Services which was part of the LA County Bar Program. This service
is also provided in other South Bay cities including Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach
and Torrance. The service is generally regarded has having a positive impact for the
community as a number of residential and landlord tenant disputes are handled on an
informal basis. Both the Police Department and the Community Development
Departmentreferpeople to the service on a regular basis and view it has being a valuable
community service.
The City spends around $8,000 per year on the service. During the past year; 18 cases
were handled that included fall mediation intervention. A number of others were handled
over the telephone during the intake process. Most of these are directly referred to others
that could provide direct service or the issue was not considered ready for mediation.
This approach is important as a large number of the issues that we get calls about can be
handled without going through the full mediation process. A common example is a rent
increase made by a landlord. We get a number of calls and when we talk to the person
calling and they explain that they received a notice and do not have a lease we explain
that the city does not have rent control and the increase process appears to have been
followed.
The City Council, at its meeting of June 13, 2006, directed that staff seek proposals to
perform these services. A request for proposals was prepared and distributed to.
individuals and firms -that might be interested in providing this service to the city. 'A total
of five (5) proposals were received. •
All of the proposals were reviewed and all of the firms were invited to an interview with
staff. The interview panel included the Community Development Director, Police Chief
and me. Staff carefully reviewed each of the proposals and the results of the interview
process - comparing the approach suggested by each of the firms, the cost, and how their
7a
• •
approach would meet the needs of the community. As a result of this process, staff is
recommending that the City renew its contract with South Bay Center for Dispute
Resolution. This recommendation is based on staff's evaluation that they can provide
this service in a most efficient and cost effective way.
The intake process that is used by South Bay Center for Dispute Resolution, although
often not mediation, does provide a valuable service helping the resident get the
assistance that they might need. The other firms submitting proposals generally would
pick up the process following the intake process once it was decided that mediation
would be beneficial for the parties involved. A change to this approach would put a load
on staff to perform this service before sending the case to the contract dispute resolution
service. The availability of those proposing providing this service also was of concern.
The actual case load probably could be handled by any of the firms submitting proposals
and depending on the amount of time spent probably would cost more than is now spent
on the program. In addition, the firm conducting the mediation would determine the time
spent on mediation efforts (billed hourly) out of the control of the city, whereas the
recommended provider uses a flat fee.
Staff is also recommending that we include a feedback loop in a new contract that would
use a questionnaire that would be sent to parties participating the dispute resolution
process and returned directly to the City. This would provide an ongoing evaluation of
the program.
Res ectfully sub; fitted,
Stephen R. Burrell

January 23, 2007
To; Council Members
Please include this letter regarding Mediation and Mr. Lance Widman into tonight's
minutes of January 23, 2007
Council Members;
I have owned my property at 240 34th Street, Hermosa Beach for more than 25 years. For
more than 25 years I have had problems with a neighbor across the alley and directly
south of my home. In all these year , I have continually sought help from the Hermosa
Beach Police Department (in the early years of my ownership), to the City of Hermosa
Beach....researching property files of my neighbors as well as my own and finally setting
an appointment with Mr. Stephen Burrell in 2005 to discuss these continued problems
with my neighbor. He in turn suggested I meet with the city mediator Mr. Lance
Willman . I in turn put a call into Mr. Widman. On approximately November 29, 2005
Mr. Widman called me back and left a message that that 'he wanted to hear from me
today or he'd assume the case was closed'. I called Mr. Widman back that day and he
proceeded to tell me that he thinks I should " call a truce" with my neighbor. I asked him
if he had ever read the neighbor's file and he said he had NEVER read the file and didn't
feel that to be of importance. I was outraged I told him, as a mediator, he needs ALL the
facts! Mr. Widman was non —pulsed and stated "we've been feuding for years". I told Mr.
Widman. I did not want to further discuss any information regarding the neighbor
situation until he knew all the facts. That was the last time I heard from Mr. Widman.

PCH RELINQUISHMENT
Recommendation:
January 16, 2007
Regular Meeting of
January 23, 2007
It is recommended that the City Council consider the benefit limits versus the liabilities of taking ownership of
the PCH corridor within the City and then direct staff to do one of the following:
1. Authorize the selection of an engineering consultant to prepare the technical report necessary to
negotiate a fair settlement amount to be paid to the City for relinquishment at an estimated cost of
$30,000; or
2. Notify Caltrans that the Citydoes not wish to pursue relinquishment at this time.
Discussion:
The City has been considering an offer by Caltrans to relinquish the 1.28 mile long PCH right -of --way (see
attachment) to the City as a means of maintaining the City's commercial banner program at 1St Street and
PCH. Commercial advertising is strictly forbidden within State-owned right-of-way, but Caltrans has allowed
the City to continue while we pursue relinquishment.
The relinquishment process is as follows:
• The City submitted a Letter of Interest on March 25, 2004.
• The City must provide Caltrans with an estimate of the cost of improvements necessary to bring the
roadway to a "State of Good Repair" for Caltrans to review and to initiate the negotiation of a one-time
disbursement amount. Staff is requesting the assistance of an engineering consultant to perform this
technical study. This study is estimated to be completed by July 2007, and the negotiations
completed by September 2007.
• Upon completion of negotiation of the settlement amount, Caltrans will prepare 'a cooperative
agreement for approval of Council to proceed; the City needs to then work with a legislator (typically
our State Assembly person) to introduce a bill to delete the highway from State Highway System and
to authorize the. relinquishment. A bill would typically be introduced in January 2008, and signed by
the Governor in September 2008, becoming effective in January 2009.
Discussion of benefits
• The City could continue its commercial banner program which provides funding up to $2,500 per
month for non-profit organizations such as the Education Foundation, the Chamber of Commerce, and
others on PCH. (Commercial banners can continue on Aviation and other locations, regardless.)
• The City would have control over the location of driveways for new developments on PCH.
• Would eliminate the need for lengthy encroachment permit processing for public improvements the
City chooses to implement. It should be noted that any significant changes or improvements that
impact traffic on this major corridor will also require further studies and full environmental impact
analysis and public process for approval.
• A one-time cash disbursement from Caltrans. Caltrans' staff has informed the City that the typical
settlement amount ranges from $2.5 to $3 million per mile which would be approximately $3.2 to $3.8
million for our 1.28 miles stretch of highway. This amount can vary depending upon width and existing
condition of roadway. West Hollywood received approximately $2.8 million per mile for Santa Monica
Boulevard and Redondo received $2.3 million per mile for its portion of Artesia Boulevard. Hermosa
Beach. received $4,092,667 for 1,232 feet of % right-of-way which equates to approximately $4 million
per mile.
6b
Discussion of liabilities:
• Staff has estimated the cost to rebuild the 1.28 miles of infrastructure to cost $9,493,768 in today's
market. This includes reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs and gutters cross gutters, pavement, traffic
signals and storm drains. Obviously, this is not an immediate cost to the City but does give a sense of
the value of this infrastructure that will eventually need to be replaced.
• The acquisition of State right-of-way will not increase the City's allotment for Gas Tax revenues, which
is population -based. The City's Gas Tax revenue for FY 06/07 was $370,290, which does not fully
fund our street maintenance which is budgeted at $892,155 this year. Considering the impact of
56,000 vehicles per day on PCH, it can e assumed that this street will require significantly higher
maintenance costs as compared to other City streets. These costs would have to come from other
funding sources.
• In addition to the above capital improvement and maintenance costs, it can be assumed that there will
also be incurred significant liability costs related to accidents on PCH. Staff reviewed a three-year
accident history (7/03 — 7/06) and determined that within that time period there were a total of 251
accidents on City -owned streets while during the same time period there were 210 accidents on PCH.
Of these numbers, injury -related accidents totaled 54 on City streets as opposed to 184 on PCH. It is
difficult to estimate the costs associated with this liability but within this same time period the City was
named in three lawsuits related to accidents, all of which were on PCH. The City will be released from
these cases due to Caltrans' ownership of the right-of-way.
Summary:
Staff recently attended a South Bay City Manager/Public Works Director meeting with Caltrans
representatives who were strongly encouraging cities to consider relinquishment (see attached information
sheets that were handed out at the meeting). They stated that a major reason this is a high priority for
Caltrans the desire to reduce their liability exposure since they are always sued as the "deep pocket."
While our banner program is raising approximately 422,500 per year for our local non-profit organizations is a
good thing, staff does not consider the overall benefits of controlling the right-of-way on PCH to be equal to
the additional high costs of street maintenance, capital improvements, and very significant increases in
liability. The commercial banner program can certainly continue at the Aviation Boulevard banner location as
well as the 10th Street and PCH location which are within the City's jurisdiction. Both have exposure to
thousands of vehicles per day. If Council wishes to pursue relinquishment, staff strongly recommends the
hiring of an engineering consultant to increase our chances of receiving the highest amount of money from
Caltrans. Considering the potential swing amount between $3.2 million to hopefully as high as $5 million, the
$30,000 expenditure is certainly prudent.
_. Option:
Pursue legislation that would allow us to enter into an Encroachment Agreement with Caltrans that would
allow the City to maintain' its commercial banner program only at the 1st Street_ location and accept all liability
for that use.
Fiscal Impact:
Consideration of the significant fiscal impacts to the City is what this agenda item is about and described in
detail above - the $30,000 could be possibly be funded by the Prospective Expenditures account. If Council
determines to go forward with relinquishment, staff will select the consultant and bring the award of contract
back for approval, including approval of the appropriation of necessary funds.

State Highway Relinquishment
Type of Relinquishments
Legislative Relinquishment
State highways deleted by legislative act. Local agency do not have an obligation to accept
relinquishment. If local agency is interested and willing to accept the relinquishment, the local
agency would initiate legislative deletion of the state highway.
Superseded Highway Relinquishment
This would occur when a new State highway is constructed and supersedes an existing
highway. The Statutes requires the Iocal agency to accept the relinquishment.
Collateral Facility Relinquishment'
Adjacent public roadways which have been constructed as part of a highway project but are
not essential to the proper functioning of the State highway facility. Local agency are obligated
to accept the relinquishment.
Legislative Deletion Relinquishments
Los Angeles County is comprised of numerous conventional State highways that traverse cities and
lead to points of business and recreational centers. These highways were initially built prior to the
freeway system. Most were adopted into the first mandated State Master Plan of State Highways in
1933.- now call the State Highway System. The State owns and is responsible for the maintenance
of these highways.
The growth of population and cities generated the need for freeways and reduced the use of
conventional State highways as regional routes. Several routes are now operating similar to other
city streets and no longer serving their purposes as regional routes. Due to that, the State is now
considering the relinquishment of these highways to allow the local agencies to better meet the
needs of their communities. By having control, the local agencieswould be in the position to realize
the following benefits:
1. To regulate development adjacent to the highway.
2. To control the construction permit process.
3. To use their highway standards instead of requiring to conform to State standards.
4. To directly react to the needs of their communities in a timely manner.
In order to relinquish these highways, the Iocal agencies should be willing to accept the highways
and the Legislature needs to delete the highways from the State Highway System.
Other notes:
State law does not mandate the "state of good repair" requirement for legislative deletion
relinquishments.
Averages 2 to 3 years to complete the relinquishment (legislature, negotiation on cost,...)
State will not pay for future maintenance costs.

State Highway
Legislative Deletion Relinquishment Process
(wl funds involvement)
Caltrans policy in recent years has been to execute cooperative
agreements with the local agencies and to pay the estimated dollar cost
to do such work including the engineering, in lieu of Caltrans actually
doing the work by state administered contract. Relinquishment and
transfer of money normally occur simultaneously.
Process Steps:
1 City sends a letter to Caltrans expressing interest in taking over
the highway.
2 Caltrans and city representaives meet to make a cursory
evaluation of the facility and outline the process.
3 City performs an independent estimate of the cost to place the
highway in a state of good repair (not required by law). Caltrans
simultaneously orders deflection studies of the highway
pavement.
4 City submits estimate to Caltrans for review.
5 After completion of Caltrans review, the two agencies meet to
resolve differences and develop an agreed upon cost.
$ Caltrans prepares a Project Scope Summary Report (PSSR)
based on the agreed upon cost & simultaneously submits a
cooperative agreement to city for execution. Note: prior versions
would already have been submitted to get concurrence from both
parties on the language.
7 City works with either local assemblyman or senator to have
deletion legislation enacted.
•
8 Once city has executed coop, it is return to Caltrans, who also
execute it and returns an executed'copy to city.
9 Once the PSSR is completed, the cooperative agreement
executed, and deletion legislation passed, the combined
documents will be used to amend the SHOPP to obtain the
necessary funding.
10 Once SHOPP is amended, a Resolution of Relinquishment will
be passed by California Transportation Commission (CTC).
11 Following CTC action, city sends Caltrans an invoice for the
agreed upon amount. Once the invoice is paid, Caltrans records
the Resolution of Relinquishment , at which point ownership
passes to the city.

Legislative Deletion Relinquishments
Statutory Authority
The statutory authority to initiate this type of deletion and relinquishment of a State highway is
found in Section 73 and 256.1 of the Streets and Highways Code. It authorized discussions to
delete any portion of a State highway from the State Highway System and to relinquish these
portions to the respective local agency. The legislation for deletion requires an agreement
between State and local agency prior to relinquishment.
Streets and Highways Code
73. The commission shall relinquish to any county or city any portion of any state highway
within the county or city that has been deleted from the state highway system by legislative
enactment, and the relinquishment shall become effective upon the first day of the next
calendar or fiscal year, whichever first occurs after the effective date of the -legislative
enactment. It may likewise relinquish any portion of any state highway that has been
superseded by relocation. Whenever the department and the county or city concerned have
entered into an agreement providing therefor, or the legislative body of the county or city has
adopted a resolution consenting thereto, the commission may relinquish, to that county or city,
any frontage or service road or outer highway, within the territorial limits of the county or city,
which has a right-of-way of at least 40 feet in width and which has been constructed as a part
of a state highway project, but does not constitute a part of the main traveled roadway thereof.
The commission may also relinquish, to a county or city within whose territorial limits it is
located, any nonmotorized transportation facility, as defined in Section 887, constructed as
part of a state highway project if the county or city, as the case may be, has entered into an
agreement providing therefor or its legislative body has adopted a resolution consenting
thereto.
Relinquishment shall be by resolution. A certified copy of the resolution shall be filed with
the board of supervisors or -the city clerk, as the case maybe. A certified copy of the
resolution shall also be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county where the land is
located and, upon its recordation, all right, title, and interest of the state in and to that portion of
any state highway shall vest in the county or city, as the case maybe, and that highway or
portion thereof shall thereupon constitute a county road or city street, as the case may be.
The vesting of all right, title, and interest of the state in and to portions of any state highways
heretofore relinquished by the commission, in the county or cityto which it was relinquished, is
hereby confirmed.
Prior to relinquishing any portion of a state highway to a county or a city, except where
required by legislative enactment, the department shall give 90 days' notice in writing of
intention to relinquish to the board of supervisors, or the city council, as the case may be.
Where the resolution of relinquishment contains a
recital as to the giving of the notice, adoption of the resolution of relinquishment shall be
conclusive evidence that the notice has been given.
The commission shall not relinquish to any county or city any portion of any state highway
that has been superseded by relocation until the department has placed the highway, as
defined in Section 23, in a state of good repair. This requirement shall not obligate the.
department for widening, new construction, or major reconstruction, except as the commission
may direct. A state of good
repair requires maintenance, as defined in Section 27, including litter removal, weed control,
and tree and shrub trimming to the time of relinquishment.
1 of 2
• •
Within the 90 -day period, the board of supervisors or the city council may protest in writing to
the commission stating the reasons therefor, including, but not limited to, objections that the
highway is not in a state of good repair, or is not needed for public use and should be vacated
by the commission. In the event that the commission does not comply with the requests of the
protesting body, it may proceed with the relinquishment only after a public hearing given to the
protesting body on 10 days' written notice.
256.1. Prior to recommending to the Legislature the deletion of a highway, or a portion
thereof, from the state highway system, the commission or the department shall hold a public
hearing on, and shall give written notices to the legislative bodies of the cities and counties
located in the affected area of, the proposed recommendation, and shall publish notice of the
public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the areas affected by the proposed
deletion. The commission or the department may, at its own option, because of controversy
or lack of local consensus, hold the hearing at a location which is reasonably convenient to the
communities affected by the proposed deletion, to the general public, and to the commission or
the department in the discharge of its regular business.

I have reviewed staffs memo regarding PCH relinquishment and oppose pursuing
relinquishment. Street maintenance in HB is losing proposition. We cannot keep up with
maintaining the streets we have. PCH will be maintenance intensive and a law suit
magnet (of course we all know that HB has less than its fair share of law suits because
people don't like to sue HB). Even though there would be some revenue from the banner
at First Street, that money goes to the Hermosa Beach Educational Foundation (HBEF).
Thus, the extra costs the City is taking on is an indirect transference of money to HBEF.
While HBEF is a worthy cause, if the city chooses to support it, it should put that on the
agenda and decided the appropriate contribution. At least then the contribution would be
transparent and equal $1 out of the city treasury and $1 to HBEF. With this
relinquishment, it is most likely $2 from the city for every $1 to the HBEF.
Moreover the banner is a bit tacky and appears to be a city endorsement of the business
advertising on it. If I did not know the money was going to a good cause, I would have
written to have it removed a long time ago. Losing it would not be all bad.
In short, HB does not need this headache.

Discussion of liabilities:
• Staff has estimated the cost to rebuild the 1.28 miles of infrastructure to cost $9,493,768 in today's
market. This includes reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs and gutters cross gutters, pavement, traffic
signals and storm drains. Obviously, this is not an immediate cost to the City but does give a sense of
the value of this infrastructure that will eventually need to be replaced.
• The acquisition of State right-of-way will not increase the City's allotment for Gas Tax revenues, which
is population -based. The City's Gas Tax revenue for FY 06/07 was $370,290, which does not fully
fund our street maintenance which is budgeted at $892,155 this year. Considering the impact of
56,000 vehicles per day on PCH, it can e assumed that this street will require significantly higher
maintenance costs as compared to other City streets. These costs would have to come from other
funding sources.
• . In addition to the above capital improvement and maintenance costs, it can be assumed that there will
also be incurred significant liability costs related to accidents on PCH. Staff reviewed a three-year
accident history (7/03 — 7/06) and determined that within that time period there were a total of 251
accidents on City -owned streets while during the same time period there were 210 accidents on PCH.

Short Film Fest
. As has been the case in each of its three
years in existence,. attendance and partici-
pation in the Hermosa Beach Shorts Film
Festival exceeded the previous year. The .
weekend event looks to be a summer
mainstay in the South Bay.
More than 350 films were submitted for
this year's- competition from all over the
world, with the ages of filmmakers rang- .
big from 7 to 72. Overseeing the. festivities
were Jeri Reeder, film commissioner; Tom
Kearney, • creative director, and Greg
'Wyatt,. technical . director. It's estimated
that over 4,000 people attended the August
event.
. The fest - was one big party! Thursday
night's opening included a food, drink and
dancing bash at Sangria on the plaza
where films were shown on a giant out -
door screen.
The serious screenings began on Friday
night at the Civic Center when "End of.a.,
Dog," Riptide" and "La Chase," among oth-
ers, were shown. Screenings continued
through Saturday' and Sunday. In addition
to the films, the. festival also offered work-
shops on screenwriting, script analysis, .
sound design -and other topics of interest
_to budding Spielbergs and Stones. .
.A major contributor to the success of the V
=shorts gala was the ticket price..One, day ....
Cost $10; three days was $25 - which is
about what a moviegoer pays for a ticket
and a bag of popcorn at the Galleria the-
aters. >46 .
Music
More than any other art .form , music
pervades South Bay life. If you walk the
Strand in any of the beach cities, open
windows emit the sounds of aspiring
artists strumming guitars. A lone trumpet
player stands against the railing of the
Hermosa Pier idly fingering some unrec-
. ognizable tune in hopes passersby will toss
a dollar into his open instrument case.
Of the dozens of clubs near the beach,
many have live music nightly. If you don't
like what's being played, wait until tomor-
row or simply walk a few yards north or
south until your aural senses are satisfied.
Some of the players are professionals. A
few are weekend warriors just graduating
from garage band status. One thing is cer-
tain: the variety is without bounds.
Three years ago, South Bay. promoter -
Ken Andrews started the "South Bay
Music Awards," where virtually unknown
artists and bands are recognized and hon-
ored at the HermosaPlayhouse. This
year's version of the event was held on
Sept. 9 and feted, among . others,
punk/alternative rock' VV group "The
Attraction," guitarist Jesse Damon, rockers
"Neverworid,"' singer/songwriter Brandy
Moss -Scott and dozens more. '

Theater
We have big 'theaters, small theaters;
expensive ' tickets, cheap tickets;
Hollywood sets, no sets. Many of the
dozens of shows of 2006 were memorable,
a few even because they were -good.
ER reviewer Andrea Ruse ventured to
the 2nd Story Theater of the Hermosa
Beach Playhouse on Pier Avenue to catch.
•a September performance of local play-
wright Angelo- Michael Masino's "The
Beast" and discovered a classic character
study .that was both disturbing and some-
times comedic.
"Incredibly acted . and stacked .with
sharp whit, ['The Beast'] delves into the
conflict that occurs when we find our-
• selves at odds not only with outside forces,
but ultimately with ourselves. The play is
set amidst both the supernatural and
crime underworlds; evoking a darkness
from which the characters must rise as
they battle through individual and collabo-
rative struggles."
Obviously, no one was humming as they
left the theater. However, Ruse was high
on her praise. of Gina Lange, who "bril-
liantly" played "Cathy, the saucy, no-non-
sense Brooklyner wife of gangster top
boss, Sonny.... Lange's expert Brooklyn
accent combined with a perfected delivery
of lines and mannerisms that fit a mobster.
wife to a made this actress the highlight
of the show." •
Surfer's Walk of Fame
Building upon a recent tradition in the
city of Hermosa Beach, 10 new members '
Were inducted into the Surfer's. Walk of
Fame at .a ceremony V held July 30.
