Ahore: This historic photo of the Redondo Salt Lake was taken
in 1908, shortly after the first power plant was built here. We
found this photo on the Library of Congress website, along with
a couple other gems from Redondo's past. You can view the oth-
ers at http://www.loc.gov/index.html- go to the "American
Memory" page.
A very unique site, this lake was filled periodically with seawa-
ter by waves washing over the natural berm during high tides and
large winter swells. There was probably underground mixing too,
of the sea water and fresh water aquifers that also flowed into the
lake. tt was a complex process, with evaporation most of the year
leaving behind copious amounts of salt that was easily collected.
As you can see, there was significant development along
its shores already — mostly lumber and oil storage awaiting dis-
tribution, with a few homes scattered about. In the background
are three piers which served as the first trading port in Los
Angeles County, before the San Pedro Harbor was opened.
Also in the background is the famous Hotel Redondo, and a
very wide road, probably the original 'Pacific Coast Highway.'
To the right is a glimmer of the coastal dunes that are the
long forgotten natural landscape of the area. Unfortunately,
there are no cool photos of the native american culture that

thrived here for thousands of years. If there were, we would see
the natural sand dunes, native vegetation such as pickleweed
and marigold, as well as birds, foxes and other wildlife. Most
likely, the natives lived in huts that were clustered along the
lake where fresh water was easily gathered from the shallow
aquifers. Known as the Tongva, this tribe had it all: large
amounts of salts and minerals for food and bartering, abundant
sealife, a mild climate and plenty of fresh water. Little is written
about the natural history of this site, but for thousands of years
it was a very special place with a thriving culture. It has since
been designated a Califomia State Landmark, No. 373.
The South Bay Parkland Conservancy continues to advocate
for restoring a portion of this wetland and constructing a combi-
nation of walking trails and more active recreational activities.
Since the Redondo Beach advisory vote of March, 2005, where
the citizens overwhelmingly supported all park here, the state of
Califomia has approved Proposition 84 and Proposition 1C to
provide funding for these types of projects. Approximately $3
billion is at stake but we need leadership from ALL levels of gov-
ernment to make this a reality. Other communities like Bolsa
Chica, Ventura County and San Luis Obispo have done it, so can
we! Visit us at www.southbayparks.org.
BEACH BLUFFS RESTORATION PROJECT, AND UPDATE
--continued, from page 1
of plants for new restoration efforts and provide addition-
al water during years of lackluster rainfall. Co-chairs Ann
Dalkey and Giancarlo Cetrulo have diligently worked
toward meeting these new mandates and were quite chal-
lenged this year record low rainfall.
The SEA Lab staff has implemented a new planting
strategy at Dockweiler State Beach and they are pleased
with the results so far. Adding supplemental irrigation
posed considerable challenges on the technical end, but
they are ready to tum on the spigot, just in time before
summer arrives.
Our efforts at improving the public volunteerism are also
going well. The first task was for the SEA Lab personnel to
improve their ability to handle volunteers. Volunteer leaders
Monica Acosta and Stefanie Miller spent time with the Palos
Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to learn how to host vol-
unteer events. Then they worked with their Corps' members
to apply their new knowledge during their monthly volunteer
events at Redondo
Beach, held every third
Saturday. Now they are
ready for the next phase
where our program will
expand to organizations
who will agree to volunteer one month a year for a mini-
mum of three years. We are looking forward to the South
Bay Parkland Conservancy to be one of the lead partici-
pants in this revised program. We already know that the
Conservancy is a hard working, fun loving group. Then,
add-in the spectacular ocean views, The Strand, and near-
by Riviera Village, and wow, what a combination!
Please join the SBPC for a couple hours on May 26th,
9a.m. — noon, and help weed, water and plant the buffs
overlooking our coastline. It's a fun way to meet your
neighbors and give back some time to your community.
Drinks and muffins will be served.

4,4 Our Current Focus III
Our current focus is the restoration of open
space on the AES power plant property located
on the Redondo Beach King Harbor water-
front, and possibly some adjacent parcels.
SOUTH BAY PARKLAND CONSERVANCY]
Our Mission
We are dedicated to the preservation, restoration,
and public use of coastal land resources in the
South Bay.
Open space within a community, particularly a
densely populated one, is one of those intangible
attributes that can make or break a city as a desir-
able place to live. Few of us visit New York with-
out strolling through Central Park, or tour San
Francisco without a trip to Golden Gate Park. If
you talk to the residents about the value of these
areas, they will tell you that their worth can not be
measured in dollars.
How do the South Bay cities rate
when it comes to park space?
The national average is 16.2 acres per 1000
residents. Santa Barbara has 16,
Los Angeles 8.2, San Francisco 7.6 and
NewYork 4.6. Including the beaches, Hermosa
has 5.5, Manhattan Beach 3.5,Torrance 2.3 and
Redondo Beach has only 2.2 acres! By any
measure, the South Bay is 'park poor.'
The Heart Park Vision reclaims this
property for a large park and restores part of
the natural beauty with saltwater wetlands
that once existed there. It provides the South
Bay with a small piece of its original land-
scape, enhances our harbor's appeal and
restores ocean views lost since 1905.
In a citywide advisory only vote in March 2005,
the community agreed with the open space
approach by approving the Heart Park vision.
The SBPC is working hard with local, regional
and state entities to make the park a reality. To
learn more, visit: wwwsouthbayparks.org

on the beach — for use in the event of a natural or manmade disaster;
• The possibility of diverting some of the money earmarked for slurry seal to
street repairs;
• The possibility of installing solar collectors on City buildings and attempting to
take advantage of benefits now available only to residential installations;
• The possibility of putting a 2% increase of the transient occupancy tax (TOT)
on the ballot to let voters decide if it would be a means of providing more
street repairs.
Staff said that the suggestions would be investigated and the subject of increasing
the TOT would be agendized at the June 12 Council meeting.
City Treasurer John Workman commented on City funds and investments and how
the current financial climate affected the City.

HONORABLE MAYOR and MEMBERS of the
HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL
July 3, 2007
Regular Meeting of
July 10, 2007
SUBJECT: FINAL MAP NO. 63246 (C.U.P. CON NO. 05-22, PDP NO. 05-24)
LOCATION: 494 ARDMORE AVENUE
APPLICANT(S): MEHRDAD M. TOOTOONCHI
P.O. BOX 1432
TORRANCE, CA 90505
REQUEST: TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL MAP FOR A
THREE -UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Final Parcel Map No. 63246 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 three unit condominium
project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No.63246 at their October 18, 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
2d
• •
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.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION
MEETING OF WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2007
CITY HALL, COUNCIL CHAMBERS
1315 VALLEY DRIVE
7:00 P.M.
ACTION MINUTES
Meeting called to order at 7:10 p.m.
1. Roll Call
Present: Brittain, DiVirgilio, Katz, Marinelli
Absent: Koch
Also Present: Richard Morgan, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Michael Flaherty, Public Works Superintendent
Rhea Punneo, Administrative Assistant, Public Works Department
2. Flag Salute
3. Approval of Action Minutes: May 16, 2007
Action: Minutes were approved as written.
4. Public Comment: Anyone wishing to address the Commission on items not on the agenda
pertaining to Public Works may do so at this time.
None
5. Correspondence
None
6. Items for Commission Consideration
a. Proposed restriction of left turns on Pacific coast Highway
2e
9
Mr. Morgan presented the item, noting that it was brought to the Commission at the request of a
resident asking that left turns from northbound PCH to westbound 3'd Street not be permitted
between 3:00 and 7:00 p.m.
A three-year accident history was analyzed for the entire reach of PCH within Hermosa Beach.
A table showing accidents related to left turns made during peak traffic hours (i.e.: 3pm — 7pm for
northbound PCH to westbound turns, and 6:30am — 9:30am for southbound PCH to eastbound
turns) was presented. Results showed that 3rd Street had only 1 accident for northbound PCH
left turns and 2 for southbound PCH left turns. This is compared to 3 accidents for northbound
PCH at 2nd Street and also 3 accidents for northbound PCH at 1s` Place. 2nd Street is an offset
intersection with a traffic signal but it has a very short left turn lane and confusing signalization
for left turners. Staff believes this is why there are so many accidents at 1st Place during peak
PWC
traffic hours even though it is already posted no left turns from — pm. 3"' Street has a left
longer turn lane and is probably used heavily as an alternate to 2nd Street as well as 1st Place.
For these reasons staff does not recommend restricting left turns at 3`d Street at this time.
Instead the City is working with Caltrans to construct improvements to the 2"d Street traffic
signal.
Action: No was action taken.
7. Commissioners' Reports
a. Commissioners Brittain and Marinelli updated the commission with regard to the Upper Pier
Avenue Committee.
8. Public Works Department Reports
a. Monthly Activity Report — April
b. Project Status Reports — April
Above items were presented for information purposes only.
9. Other Matters
Howard Longacre, Hermosa Beach
Discussed his desire for the City to spend its reserve funds, which he believes to be $23 million, on
street improvements.
Mr. Marinelli asked about noise ordinance and was advised they are in effect 8:00 am — 5:00 p.m.,
Monday — Friday; asked about parking on Bard by the City Yard and how can coordinate limited
parking hours with street sweeping — to be addressed at the July meeting.
Mr. DiVirgilio asked to be updated on newsracks and street repaving at the next commission
meeting; asked if a map version of the "Pavement Condition Index" could be added to the City
website.
10. The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m.

Supplemental to Consent Item 2-F
To: Hermosa Beach City Council (a, regular meeting July -10-2007.
City Clerk, Please distribute this supplemental to the councilmembers, press, and public
table.
Kindly also announce to the council at the time the item is heard. Thank You.
ITEM 2-F would be best continued to your next meeting such that all pertinent facts
regarding any of the mentioned donations that have strings attached, may be available
to the council and all interested public for review with the minimum 72 hours notice,
and with proper and complete agendization.
You have insufficient information before you and notwithstanding any last minute
information delivered at the meeting, that information has not been made available
ahead of time for all concerned to view and with proper notation in the agenda. The
agenda item simply indicates donations. It implies they have been freely given without
strings attached. If that is the case then there is no problem. If that is not the case
then I respectfully expect that you will continue/postpone acceptance of such
donations at this meeting and continue said consideration to your next regular
meeting. Two weeks delay will result in this item being more properly dispensed.
From Howard Longacre, a Hermosa Beach resident.
Councilmembers, city manager, city attorney, and others:
The following is additional to my prior submittals on the Coca-Cola portion of this matter as
dated 09/26/2006, 10/02/2006, 10/10/2006, 11/14,2006, and additionally with letter(s) to the
editor regarding any vending machine contract with Coca Cola Bottling Company.
The consent item before you is to accept several contributions specifically for the Centennial
Celebration event(s). Nothing more is indicated on the agenda face, or in the staff report.
There is nothing in the item's staff report for consent item 2-F indicating if there are "strings"
attached to any or all of these "donations". If there is anything required in return for such
"donations" then first of all they are not donations but instead are actually up -front fees being
required by the city and more than likely have a contract involved. The people of the city and
the city council itself have a right and responsibility to review such contract(s) prior to
accepting any such donations having such strings attached. If you have individually reviewed
any such contract(s) away from the public meeting process then you are carrying out your
elected functions in private, and may be violating the Califomia Brown Open Meeting Act. An
accumulated pattern of such actions would not reflect well on the city's elected.
As you should well recall, at the meeting of November 14, 2006 the contract for the Coca
Cola Sponsorship Agreement for the $25,000 up -front fee "donation" required a contract to be
returned to the council as a municipal or consent item. I confirmed that with the city manager
and at least one city council member the following day regarding the fact that the contract
H.Longacre to City Council Meeting July 10, 2007, Item 2-F Page 1 of 3
•
•
would be on a future agenda if it were to be consummated. I also confirmed that such was
true with the Community Resources Department head and her associates on several
occasions and was told 1 would well be the first to know when it was to be on the city council
agenda. I have inquired repeatedly over the months since -744107 as to the status o any
such contract and was always told, it was on a slow track. Everyone of consequence was „/i alp`
well aware that this contract because of its controversial nature was to appear on the city
council agenda for open review and approval.
It is interesting that it has taken eight months for such contract to perhaps now be worked up.
How much in the way of city costs have been involved in terms of city staff and legal time for
such contract's work-up to date and since back in September 2006 when the matter was first
passed through the Parks and Recreation Commission?
As an interested resident, I resent the fact that a private contractor(s) are being given a back-
room deal(s) and back -door entry to the city to conduct business and make money from city
residents and by using community properties for a fee disguised as a donation and in fact
showing this fee as a "donation". This is an unethical and despicable manner of operating
the government, notwithstanding that which other less -ethical agencies may do with this type
of stuff. This is a no -bid deal hidden away from public view no matter how good you may
claim it to be. There is a right and wrong way to carry out your elected function and this is the
wrong way and shows that our government cannot and should not be trusted. It's why people
don't trust their elected officials and why politicians are so poorly respected at all levels of
government.
Again, regarding Item 2-F;
1 -There are no specifics as to what the $10,000 GMR Marketing donation entails. I.e.
Contract and for what?
2 -There are no specifics as to what the $25,000 Coca Cola donation entails. I.e. Contract
and for what, how long, etc?
My Attachment #1 below indicates problems you can expect with vending machines located
outdoors. Why invite vandals into the city? Vandals don't use common sense and nothing
will discourage them. While they are being attracted here to vandalize unneeded vending
machines they will also have a propensity to carry out other undesirable activities. Ask any
police officer. Vending machines placed outdoors are not at all wise in this day and age, and
further are not even needed in the city's parks. One negative incident against a resident or
public property can far -outstrip any monetary gain. Also the council's decision will simply be
contributing to the degradation of the city by accepting such unsightly attractive -nuisance
vending machines.
or,
Attachment #2 below is from the minutes of the 11/14/07 meeting with respect to the Coca
Cola donation, however these minutes are far more minimal than what was said at the
meeting and subsequent to the meeting with respect to the contract returning to the city
council for final consent. Item 2-F should be continued to the next meeting and brought back
with all appropriate contracts and data for any contribution not being freely given without
strings attached. It is that simple.
Please continue the item to your next meeting for proper dispensation. Attachments follow.
H.Longacre to City Council Meeting July 10, 2007, Item 2-F Page 2 of 3
Attachment #1:
From: Easy Reader
December 14, 2006
On the Waterfront (as from)
Vandalism, vended
In mid-November, several Mira Costa High School vending machines were vandalized.
Security cameras failed to capture the suspects because they had also been vandalized.
Principal Julie Ruisinger said the cameras often get broken, seemingly about the time the
vending machine change boxes fill up.
Ruisinger doesn't expect the security cameras to be repaired anytime soon because updating
the gym, wiring around campus, and new curriculum are all higher priorities. "You just can't
do it all," said Ruisinger, who added that the cameras might not be such a smart investment.
"If somebody's going to go to the trouble of torching the vending machine, they're probably
going to break the camera first," she said.
Attachement #2

contract to come back for signature;
(2) Accept Centennial sponsorship of $25,000; and,

The Hermosa Beach City Council July 10, 2007
CIP PROJECT NOS. 05-110 AND 04-112 CRACK SEAL/SLURRY SEALING OF
AVIATION BOULEVARD AND PROSPECT AVENUE — ACCEPTANCE
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Accept the work by Pavement Coatings Company, of Cypress, California for CIP Project Nos. 05-
110 and 04-112 Crack Seal/Slurry Sealing of Aviation Boulevard and Prospect Avenue.;
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign the Notice of Completion; and
3. Authorize Staff to release payment to Pavement Coatings Company (10% retained for 35 days
following filing of Notice of Completion).
Background:
On November 14, 2006, City Council approved the award of the construction contract for CIP Project Nos. 05-110
and 04-112 Crack Seal/Slurry Sealing of Aviation Boulevard and Prospect Avenue to Pavement Coatings
Company. The work included the crack sealing, slurry sealing, and replacement of traffic striping of both
Aviation Boulevard and Prospect Avenue.
On December 12, 2006, the City Council approved a Change Order for these projects to increase the scope of work
to include Hermosa Avenue and Monterey Boulevard. The purpose of increasing the scope of work was to commit
available Prop 42 funding for construction in FY 06-07.
On March 13, 2007, City Council approved an amendment to the existing Professional Services Agreement
between David Momeni and the City for an increase in inspection services due to the increased slurry work
approved on December 12, 2006. Also authorized on March 13, 2007, was a change in scope of work to include
Valley Drive instead of Monterey Boulevard.
Analysis:
The project was constructed according to the plans, specifications and change orders prepared by Staff. The
remaining punch list items have all been completed. Therefore, Staff recommends acceptance of the work as
complete.
Fiscal Impact:
The project was completed under budget.

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council July 10, 2007
APPEAL OF DENIAL OF ENCROACHMENT PERMIT
FOR SKATEBOARD RAMP AT 2035 CIRCLE DRIVE
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Uphold staffs recommendation to deny an encroachment permit for a "half -pipe"
skateboard ramp at 2035 Circle Drive; and
2. Uphold staffs direction to the property owner to have said ramp removed from the public
right-of-way
Summary:
Staff received a letter dated May 15, 2007 (see Attachment #1), requesting an Encroachment
Permit to allow a "half -pipe" skateboard ramp to remain within the public right-of-way at 2035
Circle Drive.
Circle Drive is a 20 -foot wide street within a 60 -foot wide right-of-way. There are no sidewalks
along this portion of Circle Drive which leaves approximately 20 -feet of public right-of-way
between the curb and the property line. Many residential properties have constructed a variety
of improvements within this encroachment area, some of which have been permitted (such as
fences).
The request for a permit for the skate -ramp was denied for the following reasons given in a letter
to the applicant dated June 4, 2007 (see Attachment #2):
• The definition of approvable "encroachments" (HBMC Section 12.16.010) does not
include active recreational equipment. The half -pipe is easily accessible from the
adjacent sidewalk and not under constant supervision; it presents a potential liability for
the City should someone be injured.
• The use of a skateboard ramp has the potential to become a public nuisance due to
noise. HBMC Section 8.24.030 states "no person shall...permit to be made upon public
right-of-way...any unnecessary and unreasonable noises...which are so harsh or so
prolonged...to cause discomfort of any persons within the neighborhood...which
interferes with the peace and comfort of residents..." As you know, we have already
received noise complaints from your neighbors regarding the use of this skate ramp,
particularly in the evening hours.
The above notice also directed the property owner to remove the skateboard ramp from the
public right-of-way.
5b
The applicant received the above notice and requested to appeal staffs decision to City Council.
The letter dated June 20, 2007 (see Attachment #3) requesting appeal was received within the
required 10 -days from when he received the notice.

May 15, 2007
City of Hermosa Beach
Valley Drive
Hermosa Beach,
CA 90254
Dear Sirs,
DELIVERED BY HAND
This letter supports my application for an Encroachment permit for a six months period to
allow for a temporary "half pipe" skate ramp which is placed partially on the city right of
way and partially on my property. The total area is enclosed by an old wood fence. The
totally moveable "half pipe" which has been moved once already from the driveway in
compliance with the city building departments prior requirement and demand letter dated
January 8th 2007. (Copy attached). Which for the record, was complied with fully and in
a very timely manner? The part of the half pipe on my property conforms with building
regulations and outside the tenets of the public works department.
The "half pipe" for which this permit is requested conforms to all terms of the city codes
and in particular with section 12.16. 010 of the municipal code and the definition therein
of a conforming encroachment which states:
"Encroachments" are structures ,objects, uses or landscaping owned by a private re
ciproperty owner and located on or over adjoining public right-of-way for the property
owner's private use and enjoyment. Permissible encroachments are those which place a
minimal burden on the right-of-way, are easily removable and do not materially alter the
character of the right-of-way as open space, and include landscaping, fencing, movable
personal property (such as furniture and planters), patios, decks, landscape irrigation
and lighting systems and similar structures and objects, in accordance with the
standards, conditions and requirements of this Chapter. No building or structural
element of a building (including walls, roofs, structural supports, balconies, stairwells,
and the like) shall be permitted to encroach on or over a public right-of-way.
"Encroachment" means and includes any obstruction, tower, pole, pole line, pipe, wire,
cable, conduit, wall, fence, balcony, deck, stand or building, or any structure or object of
any kind or characterwhich is placed in, along, under, over or across public right-of-
way.
• •
The Encroachment permit is required for a six month period only and as such meets all
the requirements outlined in the municipal code section 12.16. 080 Requirements and
conditions of approval.
My application is in compliance with Municipal Code Ordinance No. 96-1161, § 4;
dated 07/09/96 and Complies with section 12.16. 070.
Furthermore, I agree to conform to Municipal Code Section 12.16. 120 Maintenance of
encroachment. It shall be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner to maintain
the encroachment in a condition satisfactory to the city
I also agree to hold the city harmless from any problems, lawsuits or litigation with
regard to the half pipe apart from the discriminatory issues if not granted, which have
factored into the city involvement. I further confirm that I carry insurance for all my
property (real and person but can post any additional bonds if required).
It should be noted that the high rails are to be removed and with the natural drop of
topography the "half pipe" is really in conformance with the 42" height limit, that is if the
curb height and retaining wall height to the south upslope height is taken into account, it
actually does not exceed the 42' limit based on the four corner rule of measuring height
and therefore does not need a permit, but the application is made to fully conform with all
possible requirements. Therefore it should be granted.
The topography of the area in question shows a steep drop from the north to south, in
addition to the cast west direction. The north south drop is 20" to 14" and the east west
direction is 16" , there is also a boundary increase due to the retaining wall of an increase
of 6" to 8'. Factoring these factors into the height reduces the height of the half pipe from
its actual height due the city four comer rule and is in fact below the 42" limit and
exempt as a result.
Finally, my next door neighbor at 2025 circle who complained about the "half pipe" has
an encroachment permit on file for a 12' high deck support in the right of way contrary to
any the regulations. There is a metal structure in the right of way at 2055 Circle which
exceeds the 42' height limit and the fence at 20 Circle is in excess of the 42" height
limit, as appears to be the walls at 20—Circle. Aerial photos and photos of
encroachments attached in the addendum. I therefore believe this sets the president for
my temporary permit. Or remove this other encroachments, if mine is not approved.
I therefore fully believe that no valid reason exists not to grant the temporary
encroachment permit.
The Encroachment permit should be granted for the six month period to avoid an appeal
to the city council which shall be definitely made and the permit would probably expire
prior to the matter running it full appeals process. This would save everybody a great
amount of time and wasted effort.
• •
Finally, I am extremely upset because my neighbor who resides at 2025 Circle Drive, has
stated to my wife in an extremely aggressive manner that "he knows people in the city"
and has influence and that they have provided confidential information to him which
should not have been disseminated to him, and which was racially discriminating in
nature, as it referred to the "English neighbor /person" namely myself. (City employee
quote) I hope that any further leaks, breach of confidence by the public works
department/city orbias immediately stops and that no further discrimination or
dissemination of confidential information occurs again as a result of my English
background, especially with regards to my application for a temporary six month
permit, merely as I am foreign born and English, especially in light of the fact that my
application is for the kids benefit only.
I have not pursued this complaint, as I hope that these matters can be resolved by the
grantingof the temporary permit, but rest assured that if it is not immediately grant the
appeal application will also include a formal complaint on this issue from my attorney to
the city council.
I am litigious by nature and fully believe no reasonable objection based on the codes
exists, unless based on discrimination. My neighbor's comments are nothing more than a
thinly veiled attempt at discrimination and intimation, especially as he has a conforming
encroachment permit on file, which I hope the city does not support or further.
I look forward top the issuance of a temporary six month encroachment permit without
delay.
Thanking you in advance
Yours sinccr€1y,

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
July 10, 2007
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION SUBMITTING A MEASURE TO THE VOTERS ON THE
NOVEMBER MUNICIPAL ELECTION BALLOT TO INCREASE THE
BUSINESS LICENSE TAX ON SPECIFIC BUSINESSES
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council submit a measure to the voters on the November Municipal
election ballot to increase the Business License Tax as set forth below and on the
attached schedules. A 4/5 vote by the City Council is required in order to place the
measure on the ballot since it is a general tax increase.
Adoption of the attached resolution will place the ordinance (also attached) on the
November 2007 ballot.
BACKGROUND:
The Business License Tax was last revised by the City Council in 1985 and 1986 and
approved by voters in 1989. The present business license tax has a number of
categories and a variety of methods for computing the tax. The estimated business
license tax will generate almost $800,000 for the 2007-08 fiscal year. The total number
of business licenses issued is 2,832, which is an average of $282 per license.
This Item was originally presented on June 12, 2007. The City Council continued
the item, requesting that the proposed rate schedule for commercial property be
changed to cover a wider range of square footage. That change is reflected
below. Clarification was also needed regarding which businesses would use the
gross receipts rate. The attached schedules list those categories of businesses.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed changes include: an increase in the amount paid by contractors; an
increase in the rate for apartments/hotels; addition of a category for rental of commercial
property based on square footage; changing restaurants from a flat amount to the gross
receipts method of calculation; changing health, fitness, and massage businesses from
a flat fee to a square footage basis; an increase in the gross receipts rate; consolidation
of gross receipts rates into a single rate.
The proposed change for each category, except businesses on gross receipts, Is
shown below. Businesses currently on gross receipts are not shown as a
category In this report because there are a variety of businesses on that method.
Please see the attached schedules for businesses that are currently on the gross
receipts rate method
Category
Present Rate
Proposed Rate
Contractors
$224
$322
This proposed rate is based on the average of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and
Torrance. No change is proposed for the category of `Sub -Contractor. This change is
estimated to increase revenue by $46,746. A copy of the rates charged by the three
other cities is attached.
Category
Present Rate
Proposed Rate
Apartments/Hotels
$29 per unit
$44 per unit
This proposed rate increase is consistent with the proposal to increase the gross receipt
rate. This change is estimated to increase revenue by $50,220.
Category
Present Rate
Proposed Rate
Commercial Property
None
Gross floor area of 0-500
sq. ft., $100 with an
additional $100 for each
1,500 sq. ft.
This category is one for which the City previously required a business license. Since the
city does not currently have data on the square footage of leased or rented commercial
property, this revenue is estimated at $10,000. The fee schedule above Is changed to
reflect the request at the meeting of 6112/07 to cover a wider range of square
footage.
Category
Present Rate
Proposed Rate
Restaurants
Rates vary
$100 min $2.00 per
$1,000 over $10,000
This change of calculation would generate an additional $53,782 over the amount paid
on the several rates now charged to restaurants.
Category
Present Rate
Proposed Rate
Health, Fitness, Massage
$139 plus $10 per
employee
$250 for 1,000 sq. ft, $250
each additional 1,000 sq. ft.
plus $25 per employee
Since the square footage of these businesses is not readily available, an estimate of this
increase Is not calculated.
Gross Receipts Rate Change
There are a variety of businesses on a gross receipts rate in the present ordinance. The
proposal is to set one rate for all businesses on the gross receipts method of calculation.
It is proposed that the rate be set at minimum of $100 for the first $10,000 and $2.00 per
$1,000 for the amounts over $10,000. In addition the cap for businesses in A-1 is
increased from $1,100 to $2,200. This impacts seven auto sales and wholesale
businesses. The overall impact of changing the rate for these businesses is an increase
in revenue of $173,222 per year.
2
r
The attached schedules show which businesses will have a gross receipts rate, what the
impact of the proposed change is for each category and the range of gross receipts
amounts in the category. In addition, the current number of businesses in each category
is shown. The gross receipts rate results in a lower fee for some businesses that are at
a lower gross receipts level. The increase in overall tax collected results from those
having the higher gross receipts.
SUMMARY:
The total revenue potential of these proposed changes is $333,970 per year. For
illustrative purposes, if this amount were added to the 2007-08 revenue of approximately
$800,000, the new revenue total would be $1,133,970. Assuming that the same
numbers of business licenses were issued, the new average would be $400. Due to the
fact that business licenses renew at different times and since the increase would only be
effective for a portion of the fiscal year, the full impact of the change would not be
recognized until 2008-09.
As presented in the 2007-08 Budget Message, this proposal is part of the overall
strategy to Increase revenue growth which will allow us to continue providing the same
level of services to residents and businesses.

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
June 28, 2007
Regular Meeting of
July 10, 2007
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION SUBMITTING A MEASURE TO THE VOTERS ON THE
NOVEMBER MUNICIPAL ELECTION BALLOT TO REDUCE THE UTILITY USER TAX
(UUT) ON TELEPHONE AND CABLE SERVICES AND ADOPT A MODERN
ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council submit a measure to the voters on the November Municipal
election ballot to reduce the existing tax on telephone and cable television services from
6% to 5'A% and to adopt a modem ordinance that responds to new communication
technologies and changes in federal law. A 4/5 vote by the City Council is required in
order to place the measure on the ballot since it is a general tax measure.
Adoption of the attached resolution will place the ordinance (also attached) on the
November 2007 ballot.
BACKGROUND:
The existing utility user tax was adopted by the City Council in 1985. The tax was
increased In 1987 by voters from 6% to 10%, with 4% designated to purchase the
Greenbelt. The 6% for general governmental purposes was also confirmed at that time,
with 83% of the vote (the 4% portion of the tax was later discontinued when it was no
longer needed). Voter initiatives to repeal the tax were defeated in 1999 with 60% of the
vote and in 2001 with 69% of the vote.
The utility user tax represents 11% ($2.7million) of General Fund revenue; the telephone
portion of the tax represents 5% ($1.2 million) of General Fund revenue. As the Council
is aware, all revenues collected from the utility users tax remain within the City of
Hermosa Beach, and by law cannot be taken by the state or another government entity —
ensuring local control.
$700,000 from the utility user tax is transferred to the Sewer Fund every year to fund
sewer repairs, maintenance and operations, with the balance remaining in the General
Fund to pay for general governmental operations such as public safety and street
repairs.
The telephone or telecommunication portion of the tax is currently at risk due to outdated
language and changes in federal law.

ANALYSIS:
Language in the telephone portion of the UUT ordinance has not been changed since
1985. Delivery of telephone services, on the other hand, has changed dramatically
since that time. The ordinance has old definitions, some of which are the source of
litigation in other cities. The outcome of these lawsuits is uncertain at this time. Also
due to the emergence of new technologies, the telecom portion of the tax will erode over
time if the outdated language is not updated.
With changes in technology over the years, telecommunications is no longer limited to
standard land line" telephone services. Even cellular/wireless telephone calls are
among the simpler forms of communication today. The proposed language defines
"telecommunications" as broadly as possible so that the tax is equitably applied to
traditional phone service as well as more sophisticated services. (Internet and
broadband are currently exempt due to the federal internet tax moratorium.)
The recommendation is to reduce the tax on telephone and cable from 6% to 5%% to
keep the change revenue -neutral. The amended ordinance makes it clear that all
technologies (and all customers) should be treated the same for tax purposes. The tax
will be applied across the board to interstate, international and intrastate calls which is a
fairer method of applying the tax; however any increase in revenue will be offset by the
tax reduction. (The UUT on interstate and international calls ceased in 1998 because
the tax was not put before the voters after the passage of Proposition 218.) The City
currently provides an exemption to seniors and the disabled, who do not need to pay this
tax. The proposed ordinance also continues this exemption.
SUMMARY:
The utility user tax is an important revenue source to the city. This is not a new tax, and
in fact the telephone and cable rates will be reduced. This measure simply replaces the
outdated telephone and cable ordinance language to respond to new communication
technologies. Our goal in changing the ordinance is to keep the same level of revenue
that we now have which is vital to delivery of the services we currently offer. Voters
have shown in several elections, as mentioned in the background above, that they want
to retain the tax and the essential services for which it pays.
Respectfully submitted,

Section 2. Section 3.36.040 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is hereby amended to read
as follows:
Section 3.36.040 Communication Services Tax
A. There is hereby imposed a tax upon every person in the City using communication services.
The maximum tax imposed by this Section shall be at the rate of five and one-half percent (5.5%) of
the charges made for such services and shall be collected from the service user by the
communication services supplier or its billing agent. There is a rebuttable presumption that
communication services, which are billed to a billing or service address in the City, are used, in
whole or in part, within the City's boundaries, and such services are subject to taxation under this
Chapter. If the billing address of the service user is different from the service address, the service
address of the service user shall be used for purposes of imposing the tax. As used in this Section,
the term "charges" shall include the value of any other services, credits, property of every kind or
nature, or other consideration provided by the service user in exchange for the communication
services.
B. Mobile Telecommunications Service shall be sourced in accordance with the sourcing rules set
forth in the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act (4 U.S.C. Section 124) or any successor
statute or regulation. The Tax Administrator may issue and disseminate to communication service
suppliers, which are subject to the tax collection requirements of this Chapter, sourcing rules for the
taxation of other communication services, including but not limited to post-paid communication
services, prepaid communication services, and private communication services, provided that such
rules are based upon industry custom and common practice that further administrative efficiency
and minimize multi jurisdictional taxation.
C. The Tax Administrator may issue and disseminate to communication service suppliers, which
arc subject to the tax collection requirements of this Chapter, an administrative ruling identifying
those communication services, or charges therefore, that are subject to or not subject to the tax of
Subsection A. above.
D. Charges for video services and ancillary video services shall include, but are not limited to,
charges for the following:
(1) franchise fees and access fees (PEG);
(2) initial installation of equipment necessary for provision and receipt of communication
services;
(3) late fees, collection fees, bad debt recoveries, and return check fees;
(4) activation fees, reactivation fees, and reconnection fees;
(5) all video programming services (e.g., basic services, premium services, audio services,
video games, pay-per-view services, or on -demand programming);
(6) ancillary programming services (e.g., electronic program guide services, search
functions, or other interactive services or communications that are ancillary, necessary or
common to the use or enjoyment of the video programming);
(7) equipment leases (e.g., converters, remote devices); and,
14
• •
(8) service calls, service protection plans, name changes, changes of services, and special
services.
E. To prevent actual multi -jurisdictional taxation of communication services subject to tax under
this Section, any service user, upon proof to the Tax Administrator that the service user has
previously paid the same tax in another state or city on such communication services, shall be
allowed a credit against the tax imposed to the extent of the amount of such tax legally imposed in
such other state or city; provided, however, the amount of credit shall not exceed the tax owed to
the City under this Section.
F. The tax on communication services imposed by this Section shall be collected from the service
user by the service supplier or person receiving payment for the services. The amount of the tax
collected in one month shall be remitted to the Tax Administrator, and must be received by the Tax
Administrator, on or before the last day of the following month.
G. Except as otherwise provided by applicable federal or state law, if any nontaxable charges are
combined with and not separately stated from taxable service charges on the customer bill or
invoice of a service supplier, the combined charge is subject to tax unless the service supplier
identifies, by reasonable and verifiable standards, the portions of the combined charge that are
nontaxable and taxable through the service supplier's books and records kept in the regular course of
business, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and not created and
maintained for tax purposes. The service supplier has the burden of proving the proper
apportionment of taxable and non-taxable charges.
H. For purposes of imposing a tax or establishing a duty to collect and remit a tax under this
Section, "substantial nexus" and "minimum contacts" shall be construed broadly in favor of the
imposition, collection and/or remittance of the communication users tax to the fullest extent
permitted by state and federal law, and as it may change from time to time by judicial interpretation
or by statutory enactment. Any communication service (including VoIP) used by a person with a
service address in the City, which service is capable of terminating a call to another person on the
general telephone network, shall be subject to a rebuttable presumption that "substantial
nexus/minimum contacts" exists for purposes of imposing a tax, or establishing a duty to collect and
remit a tax, under this Chapter. A service supplier shall be deemed to have sufficient activity in the
City for tax collection and remittance purposes if its activities include, but are not limited to, any of
the following: maintains or has within the City, directly or through an agent or subsidiary, a place
of business of any nature; solicits business in the City by employees, independent contractors,
resellers, agents or other representatives; solicits business in the City on a continuous, regular,
seasonal or systematic basis by means of advertising that is broadcast or relayed from a transmitter
with the City or distributed from a location with the City; or advertises in newspapers or other
periodicals printed and published within the City or through materials distributed in the City by
means other than the United States mail. The City shall make available, upon request, an accurate
description of its jurisdictional boundaries based on street addresses and/or ZIP Plus Four, in an
electronic format. If a service supplier relies upon such information provided by City, it shall not be
responsible for any errors in taxation that may result.
15
• •
I. Satisfaction of Tax Obligation by Service Users. Any person who pays the tax levied pursuant
to this Section with respect to any charge for a communication service shall be deemed to have
satisfied his or her obligation to pay the tax levied pursuant to former Section 3.36.040 and Section
3.36.080 as codified immediately prior to adoption of this ordinance with respect to that charge.
Likewise, prior to April 1, 2008, any person who pays the tax levied pursuant to former Section
3.36.040 and Section 3.36.080 as codified immediately prior to adoption of this ordinance shall be
deemed to have satisfied his or her obligation to pay the tax levied pursuant to this Section with
respect to that charge. The intent of this paragraph is to prevent the imposition of multiple taxes
upon a single utility charge during the transition period from the prior telephone and cable
telephone tax to the new communication services tax (which transition period ends April 1, 2008)
and to permit communication service providers, during that transition period to satisfy their
collection obligations by collecting either tax.
J. Collection of Tax by Service Supplier. Service Suppliers shall begin to collect the tax imposed
by this Section as soon as feasible after the effective date of the Section, but in no event later than
permitted by Section 799 of the California Public Utilities Code.
Section 3. Section 3.36.080 is hereby repealed.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Chapter shall become effective immediately upon the date
that this Ordinance is confirmed and approved by the voters of Hermosa Beach at the Municipal
General Election of November 6, 2007.
Section 5. Amendment or Repeal. Section 3.36.040 of the Hermosa Beach City Code
may be repealed or amended by the City Council without a vote of the people. However, as
required by Article XIIIC of the California Constitution, voter approval is required for any
amendment provision that would increase the rate of any tax levied pursuant to this Ordinance.
Section 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of
this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the remaining portions of this Ordinance shall nonetheless remain in full force and
effect. The people hereby declares that they would have adopted each section, subsection, sentence,
clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions of this Ordinance be declared invalid or
unenforceable.
Section 7. Ratification of Prior Tax. The voters of the City of Hermosa Beach hereby ratify
and approve the past collection of the Telephone and Cable Television Users Tax under Chapter
3.36 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code as it existed prior to the effective date of this
Ordinance.
Section 8. Execution. The Mayor is hereby authorized to attest to the adoption of this
Ordinance by the voters of the City by signing where indicated below.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Ordinance was PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED
by the people of the City of Hermosa Beach voting on the 6th day of November, 2007.

Dear Mr. Burrell July 9th 2007
The four years I have spent running the Hermosa Shorts Film Festival have been an
amazing experience. Each year the Festival has grown and has developed into what many
have called one of the best Film Festivals in the Country.
That is because of the people who run it and the town of Hermosa Beach.
We have always made it our focus to benefit a good cause here in our community. That is
why we have chosen Project Touch to directly benefit and support. Last year we raised
over $4000.00 for Project Touch.
Our Workshops are run by the seasoned professionals in their fields.
Workshops on:
Editing
Writing
Composing / Sound Design
Stunts / Fight Scenes
Production
Residents can take these workshops and learn to make their own films. Some have and
did make films, submitting them to Hermosa Shorts the following year.
These workshops are completely free of charge and open to all.
Our Beach Screenings are set up in Hermosa Beach and these screenings are also free of
charge. Open to all ages and groups.
In past years we have had events for over 100 children and provided free pizza and
movies.
In 2005 Hermosa Beach resident Paul Marashlian won "Best Film" of Hermosa Shorts.
We hope that Hermosa Beach recognizes the contribution Hermosa Shorts has made to
the community and that it does so for years to come.

City Council Meeting
July 10, 2007
Mayor and Members
of the City Council
APPOINT TWO ADDITIONAL MEMBERS TO THE NEWLY FORMED
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ADVISORY COMMISSION
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council appoint from among the three remaining applicants to
fill two newly created seats on the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commission for three-year
terms ending May 31, 2010. (When initial terms expire, all appointments will be for four years.)
Background:
The Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commission, established by Ordinance No. 07-1277
(adopted February 22, 2007 and effective 30 days later), was initially created to be composed of
five residents serving staggered four-year terms. After interviewing the eight applicants, at its
meeting of May 22, 2007, the Council appointed five members, leaving it up to the appointees
themselves to decide initial term lengths at their first meeting (four-year terms for three members
and two-year terms for two members). Also at the May 22 meeting, the Council directed staff to
prepare an ordinance to increase the number of Commissioners from five to seven, with the two
appointments to be made from among the applicants not chosen.
Ordinance No. 07-1383, which expands the Commission from five to seven members, was
introduced by the Council on June 12, adopted on June 26, and will take effect 30 days later.
Appointment this evening will allow the new members to be seated at the August 6 Commission
meeting. For optimal staggered terms on this seven -member Commission, it is recommended
that initial appointments for the two new members be for three years (ending May 31, 2010).
After the initial terms expire, all Commission terms will be for a full four years. The three
applicants (applications attached) are:

Why do you wish to become a Commission member?
Hermosa Beach has to be prepared to face any number of emergencies, such as earthquake, tsunami
flooding and terrorism. Past disasters such as Katrina, have show that a city's emergency resources can be
quickly overwhelmed. It can take days to organize an effective emergency response to major disasters.
Hermosa Beach residents need to prepare to rely on their own resources for an "initial period" of days
following a disaster. This "initial period" can be up to a few weeks, as shown by the Katrina disaster.
My participation in the Community Emergency Response Team has shown me that implementing an
emergency preparedness plan will require a significant commitment of time by the city, its residents and
commission members. As an Emergency Preparedness Commission member, I want to take part in the
planning and implementation of the emergency preparedness plan for Hermosa Beach and its residents. '
What do you feel are the duties and responsibilities of a Commission member?
A commission member needs to provide advice on emergency preparedness plans that have a proven track
record for a city like Hermosa Beach. Promote and communicate the emergency preparedness plans by
putting together video and web presentations focused on each family putting together an emergency plan.
CERT training is all about community-based preparedness planning that allows the residents of a city to
prepare there homes and families for a disaster. Implement a city wide plan that uses the neighborhood
CERT volunteers. Use the CERT model to prepare grant applications for community -base preparedness.

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND SERVICE (past and present):
Until now, I have not had the time to volunteer my time and services to the community.
Changes in our home life and my position with the State of California now allow the time
and energy necessary to provide quality participation and service to the City of Hermosa
Beach.
WHY DO YOU WISII TO BECOME A COMMISSION MEMBER?
I have learned the great pleasure one receives by giving back and by helping. I can't think
of a better place to give back to, but here in my own community, the community that
gave so much to me. I have strong memories growing up on Manhattan Avenue, one
block from the Hermosa Beach border. How fun it was going to the beaches and
swimming with my friends, staying on the warm sand all day, coming home to get a huge
BLT sandwich on cheap white bread I picked up at Stan's Liquor (now Dan's), gobbling
it down, and running back to the beach to play till dusk. We used to spend hours on end
at the unique Valley Park, playing on the playground equipment or looking for arrow
heads or other artifacts on the small sand slope between the park and North School. As I
grew older, we would go to dances at Pier Avenue School (that was embarrassing, I never
did dance), and older still, I enjoyed participating in track and field and football at Mira
Costa. All this time, I never once considered where these great memories came from, and
just how fortunate I was to benefit from the efforts of our civil servants.
I never realized what an important role city government played in my very blessed
childhood. The community cared about the beaches, the parks, and the residents.
I feel that as a commissioner, I could actively give back to the community and help in a
manner that benefits all of those that gave so much to me. Helping understand the
complex issues that surround a personnel incident. Helping in the decision process and
ultimately helping the City of Hermosa and the my community.
I am searching for a way to give back, give back formally. I would love to perform this
very small part as a means of giving back to the community that has done so much for
mc.
WIIAT DO YOU FEEL ARE THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A
COMMISSION MEMBER?
I believe the duties and responsibilities of a board member include understanding the
personnel issues from all sides, determining what the issues are, understanding policies
and how they relate to the issues at hand, and remembering that our civil servants provide
a tremendous service. I believe that some issues may be the result of misunderstandings,
communication problems or poorly written policies. I also know that sometimes, events
occur and individuals may simply have made a poor decision. As I write now, I believe
that some issues may surface as a result of an out dated policy.
• •
After the issue is broken down into the various critical parts, facts can be reviewed, and
decisions can be made. I fully understand that these decisions have a lasting effect on all
parties, the City, the staff and the community.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CURRENT OBLIGATIONS OR RESPONSIBILITIES,
WHICH COULD BE CONSTRUED AS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH
YOUR BEING A BOARD/COMMISSION MEMBER?
Yes X No
(If yes, please explain)
PLEASE GIVE A RESUME OF YOUR EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT,
MEMBERSHIPS, PAST ACTIVITIES AND OTHER EXPERIENCE THAT YOU
FEEL WOULD QUALIFY YOU AS A BOARD/COMMISSION MEMBER.
RESUME:
I have worked for the Federal, State and City governments as an auditor. I worked
numerous jobs in the private sector as a cook, forester, laborer (covering twelve different
phases of the construction industry), a controller for a credit union and internet company.
I have been self employed and have sat on both sides of grievance table. I've received
countless hours of formal training in harassment and employee management. I have
written and edited procedures manuals for the government and private sector. I have a
bachelor's degree in accounting, and currently, I work for the State as a petroleum and
mineral auditor, where I review complex royalty contracts and provide reports on
compliance.
THIS BOARD/COMMISSION MEETS ON AT P.M. DO YOU FORESEE ANY
SCHEDULING PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU MISS MEETINGS?
Yes X No
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN HERMOSA BEACH?
I moved to 208 Manhattan Avenue in 1966, and became a homeowner in Hermosa in
1994.
