Proclamation
Black History Month 2025
Whereas, in 1976, Black History Month was formally adopted to honor and
affirm the importance of Black History throughout our American
experience, and is full of individuals who took a stance against
prejudice, advanced the cause of civil rights, strengthened families,
communities, and our nation; and
Whereas, national Black History Month serves as both a celebration and a
powerful reminder that Black history is American history, Black
culture is American culture, and Black stories are essential to the
ongoing story of America — our faults, our struggles, our progress,
and our aspirations; and
Whereas, shining a light on Black history today is as important to understanding
ourselves and growing stronger as a Nation as it has ever been. That
is why it is essential that we take time to celebrate the immeasurable
contributions of Black Americans, honor the legacies and achievements
of generations past, and confront those injustices that still fester today;
Now, Therefore, I, Dean Francois, Mayor of the City of Hermosa Beach,
on behalf of the entire City Council, do hereby recognize February as Black History
Month. Let us all recommit ourselves to continue the fight for justice, equality and a
more diverse, supportive, inclusive, and protective union.
Dated: February 25, 2025

APPROVAL OF THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH WILLDAN
ENGINEERING FOR STAFF AUGMENTATION SERVICES FOR COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
CEQA: Determine the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
(Building and Code Enforcement Official Guillermo Hobelman)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve the proposed fifth amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering
for plan review and staff augmentation services to increase the not-to-exceed
amount by $100,000, resulting in a total not-to-exceed amount of $495,000 and a
term ending June 30, 2025 (Attachment 1); and
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the attached f ifth
amendment subject to approval by the City Attorney.
Executive Summary:
The Community Development Department uses contract building plan review specialists
for most plan submittals and has utilized this type of third-party service for several
decades. The department currently has two specialists on contract and would like to
ensure the ability to maintain timely building plan review of projects. The proposed f ifth
amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering would increase the not-to-exceed
compensation by $100,000 resulting in a total amended not -to-exceed limit of $495,000
for the remainder of the contract term ending June 30, 2025.
Background:
For several decades, the City has contracted with third-party firms for building plan review
services for compliance with the California Building Standards Code. Like many smaller
jurisdictions, the City’s Community Development Department staff does not include
building plan review engineers, fire life safety experts, and other building plan review
specialists that are essential to conduct the breadth of building plan review.
The Community Development Department currently has a building plan review and
related services agreement with two firms, Hayer Consultants and Willdan Engineering.
At its October 27, 2020 meeting, City Council approved an agreement with Hayer
Consultants to provide building plan review and related services for the Community
Page 130 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
Development Department with an expiration date of June 30, 2025. The current f iscal
year 2024–2025 contract services budget for building plan review services is $200,000.
In early 2022, the Community Development Department experienced vacancies of
Building and Safety staff and needed additional technically proficient staff to review
building plans. The City entered into an agreement on July 20, 2022 with Willdan
Engineering in an amount not to exceed $30,000 and an expiration date of June 30, 2025
to provide on-call staff augmentation services for the Community Development
Department (Attachment 2). This professional services agreement also allowed the
Community Development Department to supplement the available service providers for
building plan check services. These additional services helped improve turnaround times.
At its August 9, 2022 meeting, City Council approved the first amendment to increase the
not-to-exceed compensation by $45,000 resulting in a total amended contract term of
three years and total not-to-exceed amount of $75,000 (Attachment 3). The proposed
first amendment added additional funds to the existing agreement to fill the Department’s
staffing needs as recruitments were underway.
At its November 29, 2022 meeting, City Council approved the second amendment to
increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $100,000 resulting in a total amended
contract term of three years and total not-to-exceed amount of $175,000 (Attachment 4).
The second amendment added an approved hourly rate for the position of an Interim
Community Development Director to lead the department as the recruitment for a
permanent hire was underway.
At its January 24, 2024 meeting, City Council approved the third amendment to increase
the not-to-exceed compensation by $120,000 resulting in a total amended contract term
of three years and total not-to-exceed amount of $295,000 (Attachment 5). Because the
department was fully staffed by then, the purpose of this amendment was to allow
continuation of plan review assistance services only.
At its September 24, 2024 meeting, City Council approved the fourth amendment to
increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $100,000 resulting in a total amended
contract term of three years and total not-to-exceed amount of $395,000 (Attachment 6).
Because the Building and Safety Division was fully staffed by then, the purpose of this
amendment was to allow continuation of plan review assistance services only. At that
time, staff anticipated the funds would allow Willdan to assist with additional plan review
requests to maintain turnaround times through the end of the contract term on June 30,
2025.

Discussion:
To successfully serve residents, businesses, and the development community, the City
must ensure that sufficient building plan review services are in place to provide building
plan review services within a timely manner. Customarily, many jurisdictions tar get a
maximum 30-day timeframe to provide an initial review of projects by Planning and
Building Safety staff. To meet these needs, the Community Development Department
recognizes the need to continue to have multiple building plan review service providers
available. The availability of multiple building plan review service providers will ensure the
City is in line with current best practices for many public agencies that utilize multiple
building plan review service providers.
In the last two quarters of 2024, the Community Development Department experienced
an increase in the volume of plan reviews along with several larger commercial tenant
improvement projects. The increased volume and complex plan reviews were assigned
to Willdan to ensure efficient turnaround. While plan review expenses are funded by
application fees paid by applicants, the increase in expenses resulted in accelerated
depletion of the contract amount as compared to prior activity levels. Staff anticipates the
service demand for building plan review will remain, and the remaining contract amount
from the current service agreement with Willdan Engineering will be exhausted by March
2025.
Willdan Engineering is a well-regarded firm that assists many public agencies in Southern
California. The Community Development Department began utilizing Willdan Engineering
building plan review services in July of 2022 to supplement the available number of
building plan review service providers. Willdan Engineering has demonstrated that they
have the technical expertise, available staffing, and competitive pricing to continue to
assist the City with building plan review services.
Page 132 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
Staff requests the proposed fifth amendment to an agreement with Willdan Engineering
to increase the not-to-exceed compensation by $100,000 resulting in a total amended
not-to-exceed amount of $495,000. At current building plan review volume levels, the
requested contract augmentation would allow the department to utilize Willdan
Engineering’s building plan review services for the remaining term of the contract ending
June 30, 2025.
The current Professional Service Agreements for building plan review services will be
refreshed through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process that is currently underway and
due to be completed by June 2025. Staff anticipates securing a minimum of three firms
to assist with plan review requests.
Environmental Review:
Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. excludes from CEQA review those activities
that are not projects within the meaning of Section 15378. In accordance with CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378 (b)/5), the proposed action is not subject to CEQA because it
involves administrative activities of government that will not result in a direct or indirect
physical change in the environment. Therefore. because the proposed action is the
adoption of a contract amendment for plan review and staff augmentation services, it is
not a project as defined in Section 133781. Therefore, the project is accordingly exempt
from CEQA review.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency
with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Governance Element
Goal 1. A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.
Policy:
1.2: Strategic planning. Regularly discuss and set priorities at the City Council
and management level to prioritize work programs and staffing needs.
Fiscal Impact:
If approved, the proposed fifth amendment to this agreement would increase the not -to-
exceed limit for Willdan Engineering by $100,000 for a revised total of $495,000 for the
remainder of the previously approved contract term ending June 30, 2025.
The City recovers costs through building plan review fees, Additional expenditures can
be absorbed within existing appropriation.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE AND AMBULANCE MONTHLY REPORT FOR
DECEMBER 2024
CEQA: Determine that this report is not a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) or, in the alternative that the project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file the December 2024 Fire and Ambulance
monthly report.
Executive Summary:
City departments generate monthly reports to provide a snapshot of activities performed
each month. Prior to the transition of fire and ambulance transport services to the County
of Los Angeles, the Hermosa Beach Fire Department developed monthly response
reports. After the transition, the monthly report was updated to include Los Angeles
County Fire Department (LACoFD) and McCormick Ambulance information and
continues to be uploaded to the website. The following report provides details regarding
services provided for the month of December 2024.
Background:
At the February 11, 2020 Council meeting, City Council requested monthly reports on the
City Council agenda under consent calendar. Monthly reports began to appear
commencing with the July 14, 2020 City Council agenda. The enclosed report reflects the
services for December 2024.

Discussion:
Page 161 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
The December 2024 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by
LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment—December 2024 LACoFD and
McCormick Ambulance Monthly Report).
Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD)
LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance work together to provide emergency medical
services (EMS) to the Hermosa Beach community. LACoFD has two apparatus stationed
at Station 100 including one assessment engine (Engine 100) staffed with a Fire Captain,
a Fire Engineer, and a Firefighter Paramedic; and a paramedic squad (Squad 100) staffed
with two Firefighter Paramedics. The paramedic squad (Squad 100) only responds to
calls for service exclusively within the City of Hermosa Beach. It does not provide mutual
aid, thereby remaining available for calls within Hermosa Beach.
Each LACoFD apparatus has the capability to provide basic emergency medical care
known as Basic Life Support (BLS) to medical patients. In addition, the paramedic squad
has advanced equipment, including medications, and responds from within the City to
address Advanced Life Support (ALS) calls, such as a stroke or heart attack.
McCormick Ambulance is one of the emergency medical transport companies within Los
Angeles County. LACoFD does not conduct patient transport; therefore, unincorporated
areas are included in the fire department transport contracts with various providers.
Contract cities are responsible for negotiating and contracting with a medical transport
provider for their community. Within the South Bay, many of the cities have contracted
with McCormick Ambulance to conduct emergency medical transportation including the
City of Hermosa Beach.
When LACoFD is dispatched, McCormick Ambulance is also dispatched as the City’s
emergency medical transportation provider. LACoFD provides life-saving medical care on
scene and continues ALS level care as the patient is transported to a local hospital. In the
case of a BLS level call, monitoring and care are safely provided by one of the two
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) assigned to the responding ambulance.
LACoFD follows industry standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), which outlines call transfer times and total response times. The NFPA standard
for call transfer time is that each call will be answered within 60 seconds 90 percent of
the time. Additionally, responding units are to be enroute within 60 seconds for EMS
related calls and 80 seconds for structure fire calls. NFPA further stipulates that for EMS
calls, responding units must arrive on scene within 8 minutes and 59 seconds 90 percent
of the time.
The December 2024 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were
no calls with a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD
to incorporate the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (RCC) call
Page 162 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
transfer time data, currently provided semi-annually, into the monthly reports. The RCC
call transfer data provides information regarding each call for service from the time that
the call first comes into the 9-1-1 system to the time that it is transferred to LACoFD.
McCormick Ambulance
McCormick Ambulances are staffed by two EMTs who can provide and transport BLS
patients independently and, with the support of LACoFD paramedics riding in the
ambulance, can also transport ALS patients.
In December 2024, McCormick Ambulance responded to 77 calls for services within the
City of Hermosa Beach. The December 2024 report indicated that one call resulted in
delayed Code 3 responses. A Code 3 response is one where the responding emergency
units are driving with lights and sirens to a presumed life -threatening emergency, which
is typically classified as an ALS call. According to the McCormick Ambulance contract,
“response time must not exceed eight (8) minutes, fifty-nine (59) seconds” for a Code 3
incident. Of the one delayed Code 3 call, the average response time was eleven (11)
minutes, forty-eight (48) second.
There was one delayed Code 2 response in December 2024. A Code 2 response is one
where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to an emergency
classified as a basic life support or BLS call. According to the McCormick Amb ulance
contract, “response time must not exceed fifteen (15) minutes, zero (0) seconds” for a
Code 2 incident. Of the one delayed Code 2 call, the average response time was sixteen
(16) minutes, twenty (20) seconds.
Staff reviewed the December 2024 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following
outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
Crew Error: (1) The crew initially responded to the wrong location; and
Distance: (1) The responding crew encountered heavy traffic along the route .
McCormick Ambulance demonstrates a continuous effort to detect and correct service
level performance deficiencies by identifying the reason for delayed response times,
issuing personnel performance notices when mandatory response requirements are not
met and releasing personnel upon continued performance issues. McCormick Ambulance
also provides training and continuing education to staff to improve skills and service
delivery.
Although the emergency medical transport units arrived on scene within the allo wable
timeframe for 75 calls in December 2024, patients were provided timely life-saving
emergency medical care on scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics.
When LACoFD arrives on scene, it takes paramedics 5 to 10 minutes to conduct the
required treatment protocols prior to commencing transport with McCormick Ambulance.
Page 163 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
During the patient treatment phase, the requested ambulance is typically on scene waiting
for the paramedics to complete their treatment protocols even if the ambulance respon se
is delayed. Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance are
committed to providing excellent emergency medical care, customer service, and
response to the residents and visitors of Hermosa Beach.

Staff Report No. 25-CDD-025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY PROGRESS REPORT
(Contract Planner Kaneca Pompey and Planning Manager Alexis Oropeza
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Receive a staff presentation; and
2. Receive and file Economic Development Strategy Progress Report #5.
Executive Summary:
The Economic Development Strategy was approved in 2022, with one of the action
items being progress reports presented to the City Council biannually. This is the fifth
progress report on Economic Development Strategy. The last update was presented
to City Council at its July 9, 2024 meeting.
Background:
The Economic Development Strategy (Attachment 1) is the result of two years of
collective efforts by the Economic Development Committee and the Stakeholders
Advisory Working Group to identify Economic Development objectives and actions. For
two years, the Economic Development Committee met monthly, and the 20-person
Stakeholders Advisory Working Group met bimonthly, to explore and discuss Hermosa
Beach business-related topics. An Economic and Market Study was also prepared to
inform development of the Economic Development Strategy. At its July 12, 2022
meeting, City Council adopted the Economic Development Strategy.
The resulting Economic Development Strategy includes 30 strategic actions. These
include proactive steps to enhance Hermosa Beach through beautification, strengthen
the local economy, and provide an environment for the City’s business partners to
succeed as they serve the community. The City Council approval included 10 priorities
for implementation in the first year ending June 30, 2023.
The Economic Development Strategy is a long-term plan, with strategic actions divided
into short-term (1st year), mid-term (2–3 years) or long-term (3+ years) implementation.
The actions are divided into five categories: Citywide Beautification; Downtown;
Municipal Code Amendments; Business Outreach; and City Economic Development
Page 175 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 14
work program. The Economic Development Strategy is the work plan for
implementation, beginning with the identified action priorities.
The Economic Development Strategy identified a multi-disciplinary complement of City
Departments (City Manager’s Office, Community Development, Public Works,
Community Resources, Police Department, and Human Resources), the Chamber of
Commerce, and professional subject matter experts. Implementation work was
anticipated to be completed by staff, the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce, and
occasionally with contracted subject matter expert assistance.
The Economic Development Strategy also indicates that the prioritization and scope
of the Strategic Actions do not consider staff capacity or competing workload demands.
Staff ability to implement the strategy items is determined by available capacity. Staff
capacity for the development of the Economic Development Strategy was, in part,
made possible by the extended allowable hours of the Interim Senior Planner during
the COVID-19 pandemic response. Once the COVID-19 emergency ended, the
allowable hours returned to only accommodate daily workload such as long-range
planning projects, customer service, and a limited business liaison role.
The Economic Development Strategy includes an action item to report to the City
Council twice annually to monitor progress, prioritize actions, and consider new
opportunities. The following biannual report ensures City Council and the community
are updated on Economic Development Strategy implementation and priorities each
year. At its July 9, 2024 meeting, City Council received and filed Progress Report #4.
Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
March 4, 2020
A joint meeting of the City Council and Planning

July 25, 2023 City Council received second progress report.
February 27, 2024 City Council received third progress report.
July 9, 2024 City Council received fourth progress report.
Discussion:
Staff evaluated all strategic action items of the Economic Development Strategy Report,
as well as ongoing initiatives not identified in the Economic Development Strategy initially
adopted in 2022. Staff observed numerous initiatives that further the City’s efforts in
supporting the business community in improving the environment in which to do business.
The fifth progress report outlined below, incorporates all action items from the past two
years and presents the entire Economic Development Strategy in a comprehensive way.
This allows the community, City Council, and staff to focus on this effort in totality. The
action items are presented in the following table in numerical order as identified in the
Economic Development Strategy. The letter symbol (S, M, L) indicates whether the action
item was to be initiated in the short-term (Year 1), mid-term (Year 2–3), or long-term (Year
3+). The table identifies prior actions and provides current updates. The table also
identifies initiatives that do not currently have staff and funding resources.
Note as a reminder, the table below sorts the items in three colors (green = first
year priority; yellow = second year priority; red = future year priority). The initials
of the responsible department(s) are in bold under the “Strategic Action” column
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General Plan, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.
The Economic Development Strategy supports several PLAN Hermosa goals and policies
listed below.

presented to City Council at the CIP
Study Session on April 18, 2024. The
tentative schedule shows completion
of this preliminary design effort
concluding in November 2024. The
adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2024–
25 identifies the next phase of the
project under the Deferred and
Unfunded Future Project list and
would need to be considered for
funding as part of a future budget
cycle; CIP 111 is a preliminary design
only and does not include any funding
for implementation.
Project timeline extended due to staffing
availability and contract agreement
expiration. Staff procured a new contract
agreement in fall 2024, that was then
executed in December 2024. Staff since
completed a more detailed existing
conditions inventory assessment and
finalized initial comments on the draft
preliminary designs that have been sent to
the design consultant for consideration.
Staff is actively working to negotiate a task
order agreement under the new contract
to finalize the preliminary design effort
which is anticipated to take approximately
4 to 6 months to complete.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA APPROVING CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
SERVICES FORM 130 DESIGNATION OF SUBRECIPIENT’S AGENTS
(Emergency Management Coordinator Maurice Wright)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Adopt a resolution of the City of Hermosa Beach approving California Governor’s
Office of Emergency Services Form 130 Designation of Subrecipient’s
Agents (Attachment 1); and
2. Approve submittal of Cal OES Form 130 (Attachment 2), designating the City
Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Administrative Services Director as the City’s
authorized agents.
Executive Summary:
To remain eligible for Federal and State assistance and grant programs, the California
Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) requires non-state agencies to submit a Form
130 every three years. The proposed resolution would authorize the submittal of a new
Form 130 designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Administrative
Services Director as the City’s authorized agents for the purpose of exchanging official
documentation regarding funding. The requested update is necessary to reflect the
change in title from Finance Director to Administrative Services Director.
Background:
At its June 13, 2023 meeting, City Council reaffirmed Resolution 18-7153, and approved
submittal of a Cal OES Form 130 designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager,
and Finance Director as the City’s authorized agents. Although the City’s current Form
130 has not yet reached its three-year expiration, staff requests an update to the
authorized agents to ensure continuity in emergency management and grant
administration. The proposed resolution authorizes the submittal of an updated Form 130,
designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Administrative Services Director
as the City’s authorized agents.

(Regular Meeting)
City Council reaffirmed Resolution 18-7153 adopted on
November 27, 2018 and approved submittal of an updated
Cal OES Form 130
Discussion:
Cal OES requires non-state agencies, such as the City of Hermosa Beach, to submit an
updated Form 130 every three years to remain eligible for funding. The form documents
the City’s authorized agents to act on behalf of the City for purposes of receiving disaster
assistance from Federal and State agencies.
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving a new
California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Form 130 (Attachment
2) designating the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Administrative Services
Director as the City’s authorized agents. The requested update is necessary to modify
the title of Finance Director to the new title of Administrative Services Director.
If approved, the form would be applicable for all disasters over the next three years.
Should the form not be submitted, the City would have limited ability to request Federal
or State funding and information for disaster relief and grants for preparedness.
Environmental Review:
This Resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines section 15378 (b)(5) as the Resolution is an organization or
administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes
in the environment.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendations have been evaluated for their consistency
with the City’s General Plan. Relevant policies are listed below:
Public Safety Element
Goal 1. Injuries and loss of life are prevented, and property loss and damage a re
minimized.
Page 190 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3
Policy:
1.11 Secure funds. Establish centralized internal procedures to coordinate efforts
for securing funds that support risk reduction measures.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Designating
authorized agents would enable the City to request public assistance from Federal and
State agencies to seek recovery of costs related any disaster that impacts the City of
Hermosa Beach.

Cal OES Form 130 Instructions
A Designation of Applicant’s Agent Resolution for Non-State Agencies is required of all
Applicants to be eligible to receive funding. A new resolution must be submitted if a
previously submitted resolution is older than three (3) years from the last date of
approval, is invalid, or has not been submitted.
When completing the Cal OES Form 130, Applicants should fill in the blanks on pages 1
and 2. The blanks are to be filled in as follows:
Resolution Section:
Governing Body: This is the group responsible for appointing and approving the
Authorized Agents.
Examples include: Board of Directors, City Council, Board of Supervisors, Board of
Education, etc.
Name of Applicant: The public entity established under the laws of the
State of California.
Examples include: School District, Office of Education, City, County or Non-profit
agency that has applied for the grant, such as: City of San Diego, Sacramento
County, Burbank Unified School District, Napa County Office of Education,
University Southern California.
Authorized Agent: These are the individuals that are authorized by the Governing Body
to engage with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the California
Governor’s Office of Emergency Services regarding grants for which they have applied.
There are two ways of completing this section:
1.Titles Only: The titles of the Authorized Agents should be entered here, not their
names. This allows the document to remain valid if an Authorized Agent leaves
the position and is replaced by another individual. If “Titles Only” is the chosen
method, this document must be accompanied by either a cover letter naming
the Authorized Agents by name and title, or the Cal OES AA Names
document. The supporting document can be completed by any authorized
person within the Agency (e.g., administrative assistant, the Authorized Agent,
secretary to the Director). It does not require the Governing Body’s signature.
2.Names and Titles: If the Governing Body so chooses, the names and titles of the
Authorized Agents would be listed. A new Cal OES Form 130 will be required if
any of the Authorized Agents are replaced, leave the position listed on the
document, or their title changes.

Checking Universal or Disaster-Specific Box: A Universal resolution is effective for all
past disasters and for those declared up to three (3) years following the date of
approval. Upon expiration it is no longer effective for new disasters, but it remains
in effect for disasters declared prior to expiration. It remains effective until the
disaster goes through closeout unless it is superseded by a newer resolution.
Governing Body Representative: These are the names and titles of the approving
Board Members.
Examples include: Chairman of the Board, Director, Superintendent, etc. The
names and titles cannot be one of the designated Authorized Agents. A
minimum of three (3) approving board members must be listed. If less than three

met.
Certification Section:

etc. This person cannot be one of the designated Authorized Agents or
Approving Board Member. If a person holds two positions (such as City Manager
and Secretary to the Board) and the City Manager is to be listed as an
Authorized Agent, then that person could sign the document as Secretary to
the Board (not City Manager) to eliminate “Self-Certification.”

Staff Report No. 25-CR-016
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVAL OF SPECIAL EVENT LONG-TERM AGREEMENT WITH FRIENDS OF
THE PARKS FOR MOVIES AT THE BEACH
CEQA: Approval of the proposed long-term agreement would be exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section
15304. The long-term agreement permits an event which is a minor, temporary use of
land in the form of a movie screening on the beach. This type of temporary event will
have negligible or no permanent effect on the environment.
(Community Resources Director Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve a long-term agreement (LTA) with Hermosa Beach Friends of the Parks
(FOP) for Movies at the Beach for 2025 through 2027; and
2. Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute and the City Clerk to attest the
long-term agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney (Attachment 3).
Executive Summary:
The Community Resources Department oversees special event requests and permitting
on public property. The Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1) establishes the LTA
Program, which allows eligible organizations to secure event dates for up to three years.
This reduces administrative burdens and provides greater event planning stability.
On May 31, 2023, City Council authorized staff to negotiate an LTA with FOP for Movies
at the Beach covering 2025 through 2027. Negotiations concluded in January 2025, and
staff recommends City Council approval of the proposed agreement.
Background:
The Community Resources Department oversees special events on public property in
accordance with the Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1). The guide provides a
comprehensive framework for event producers, including details on the review and
approval process, applicable fees, policies, and relevant municipal codes. The LTA
Program enables qualifying organizations to secure event dates for up to three y ears,
eliminating the need for annual applications. Additionally, the LTA Program provides an
opportunity for event fees to be subsidized or waived through negotiations between the
City and the organization.

Attachment 2 provides a summary of current LTAs, including organizations, events,
agreement terms, fees paid to the City, and estimated fees to be waived annually for each
agreement.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
May 31, 2023 Council approved the commencement of LTA negotiations
with FOP for Movies at the Beach in 2025 through 2027.
Discussion:
Friends of the Parks (FOP) is a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to preserving,
enhancing, and promoting Hermosa Beach’s parks and recreation programs. In addition
to Movies at the Beach, FOP hosts community events such as Pets in the Park, Pumpkins
in the Park, and beach and park cleanups.
Movies at the Beach is a free annual film screening held south of the Pier, funded through
sponsorships and donations. In September 2023, staff began LTA negotiations with FOP
to align Movies at the Beach with the Hermosa Beach Concert Series, allowing both
events to share infrastructure and take place on two consecutive weekends following
Labor Day. Since LTA negotiations were ongoing, staff administratively approved Movies
at the Beach as an event partner with the Hermosa Beach Concert Series for the 2024
season to assess the partnership’s success.
Negotiations concluded in January 2025, and staff now recommends City Council
approval of the proposed LTA (Attachment 3). The agreement formalizes Movies at the
Beach for 2025–2027 and outlines applicable fees (Table 1). Attachments 4–5 contain
the 2025–2027 Special Events Calendars with proposed event dates.

Use Classifications + Impact Characteristics
Special events are evaluated based on several factors and will be categorized as Impact Level I, II, or III based

providing liability insurance with the following requirements:
Event producer agrees to furnish the City of Hermosa Beach evidence of comprehensive general liability
insurance in the form of a certificate naming "the City of Hermosa Beach, its officers, agents, volunteers, and
employees as additional insureds." This exact verbiage is required. Event producer shall notify the City at least
thirty (30) days prior to the termination, reduction, cancellation, suspension, modification, or expiration of the
policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Event producer shall maintain insurance coverage meeting the
standards outlined in this Section at all times during the term of the activity or activities for which the Event

on an "occurrence" basis, including property damage, bodily injury, death, and personal and advertising injury
with limits no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies,
either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this Agreement, or the general aggregate limit shall
be twice the required occurrence limit. The City reserves the right to request greater or lesser amounts of
insurance coverage.
If the use includes athletic activities, shall provide evidence of that the commercial general liability insurance
includes coverage for injuries to athletic participants and participant accident insurance.

addition to the existing Hermosa Beach Concert Series infrastructure
for its Event.
c. Annual Event Confirmation. FOP must annually inform the CITY of its
intent to produce the Event, including confirmation of event dates
and event times, no later than three months prior to the event
dates. Should FOP desire to reschedule an event date(s) from the
dates outlined in this Agreement, it must do so in writing no later
than three months prior to the requested event date(s). CITY will
review the request against other activities and events booked
within the City. While approval of a date change will not be
unreasonably withheld, already scheduled activities or events will
have priority. Use of additional location(s) may be approved as
mutually agreed upon between the CITY and FOP provided FOP
informs the CITY of this request at least three months prior to the
Event. The CITY or FOP may cancel an Event within 30 days written
notice prior to each Event without penalty due to COVID-19
precautionary measures or other pandemic-related health orders
that would deem the event unsafe or temporarily prohibited. CITY
reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time or times to close
and suspend the use of each Event Location subject to this
Agreement for any duration in order to protect public health and
safety. Any such closure will not constitute a breach or a default of
this Agreement. CITY shall have no liability whatever to FOP for the
effect of such suspension and closure on any Event, nor shall CITY
have any responsibility to provide FOP with substitute Event
locations. FOP’s rights under this Agreement are subject and
subordinate to CITY’s police and emergency powers in addition to
CITY’s rights to manage its municipal facilities including outdoor
public spaces and its contractual rights as described in this
Agreement.
d. Event Permits and Agreements. FOP shall obtain permits from CITY
for each Event and shall enter into and comply with all agreements
for such permits as required by CITY, including but not limited to the
provision of adequate insurance and indemnification of CITY, its
officers, agents, volunteers, employees, and attorneys as outlined in
the Special Event Permit. Exhibit A includes a sample Special Event
Permit.
e. Insurance. FOP shall provide comprehensive general liability
insurance in the form of a certificate naming "the City of Hermosa
Beach, its officers, agents, volunteers, and employees as additional
insureds." FOP shall maintain insurance coverage meeting the
Page 228 of 1852
FOP Movies at the Beach 2025 - 2027 3
standards outlined in this Section at all times during the term of the
Events permitted by this Agreement. All certificates are subject to
approval of the City’s Risk Manager. Coverage shall be at least as
broad as Insurance Services Form CG 00 01 covering commercial
general liability on an "occurrence" basis, including property
damage, bodily injury, death, and personal and advertising injury
with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. If a general
aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall
apply separately to this Agreement, or the general aggregate limit
shall be twice the required occurrence limit. The City reserves the
right to request greater or lesser amounts of insurance coverage.
FOP shall provide evidence that the commercial general liability
insurance includes coverage for injuries to athletic participants and
participant accident insurance. If FOP maintains broader coverage
and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City
requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the
higher limits maintained. Any available insurance proceeds in
excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage
shall be available to the City. FOP shall furnish properly executed
certificates of insurance to City, which certificates shall clearly
evidence all coverage required above and provide that such
insurance shall not be materially changed, terminated or allowed
to expire except on thirty (30) days prior written notice to City; and
further, shall provide that if FOP fails to pay any required deductible
or self-insured retention, City may do so at FOP’s expense.
f. Fee to CITY. FOP shall pay CITY direct costs including but not be
limited to the provision of CITY staff time dedicated to the Event,
Amplified Sound Permit fees, and parking fees.
g. Annual Review. Within 60 days prior to and after each Event, FOP
shall provide an annual overview to the Parks, Recreation and
Community Resources Advisory Commission in the form of an
agendized presentation. The pre-event presentation shall highlight:
a general event overview including anticipated number of
attendees; an overview of the event footprint and individualized
setup; and anticipated impacts to the community as a result of the
event. The post-event presentation shall include: a general
overview including the actual number of attendees; actual
impact(s) to the community as a result of the event; and any event
struggle(s) and success(es).
h. Environmental Sustainable Measures. FOP shall adhere to the CITY’s
environmental sustainability measures, incorporate sustainability
Page 229 of 1852
FOP Movies at the Beach 2025 - 2027 4
requirements into vendor agreements, and advertise green
measures and rules in event advertising and online. This includes but
is not limited to prohibiting the use of single-use plastic straws, stirrers,
and utensils (per HBMC 8.64); limiting single-use paper, packaging,
and décor items; using appropriately sized plates, containers and
cups; and limiting use of handouts, flyers and giveaways; (4)
enacting a no-idling requirement for vehicles associated with the
loading and unloading of event-related equipment; and (5)
providing onsite personnel to ensure that litter and trash are
minimized, and recycling is maximized.
i. Parking Spaces. FOP may request dedicated use of public parking
spaces as needed for Event activities including parking of Event-
related vehicles; storage of essential Event-related equipment and
supplies; and other Event-related structures for each Event. Use of
these spaces must be mutually agreed upon between the CITY and
FOP following submittal of a site plan by FOP outlining the use of the
parking space(s) at least 10 working days prior to each Event. While
approval of parking request(s) will not be unreasonably withheld,
already scheduled activities or events will have priority. The CITY will
consider approval based on the location, seasonal needs for
parking, and the overall impacts to the loss of parking spaces to the
area. The City will enforce temporary reserved parking by way of
complaint only. FOP shall be responsible for reporting to the City if
non-event related vehicles are parked in the temporary reserved
parking spaces by calling non-emergency dispatch. FOP shall
ensure the spaces are clean from debris, and other materials that
were collected as a result of Event activities.
j. Logistical Meetings. FOP is required to participate in logistical and
planning meetings with relevant CITY departments as requested by
the City.
k. Sponsorships. FOP may sell sponsorships for the Event. FOP agrees
that Event sponsors will not be from any person or entity promoting
gambling, political, or religious viewpoints. Donating persons or
entities must be consistent with the core values, mission, and vision
of the City. FOP shall have until July 30 each year to contact the
sponsors that participated as a sponsor in the previous year’s Event.
After July 30 of each year the City would have the ability to contact
any sponsors that participated in the previous year’s Event and had
not yet committed to sponsor the current year’s Event. FOP may not
solicit sponsorships that participated in the previous year’s Hermosa
Beach Concert Series until after July 30, and only if the sponsor had
Page 230 of 1852
FOP Movies at the Beach 2025 - 2027 5
not yet committed to sponsor the current year’s Hermosa Beach
Concert Series.
Section 3. CITY’s Duties.
a. Event Permits. CITY shall provide event permits to FOP for each Event
unless CITY determines in its sole discretion that it would not be in the
public interest or that it would be averse to the public health, safety, or
welfare.
b. No Parking Signs. The CITY shall post no parking signs in parking Lot B at
least 72 hours prior to the start of event setup.
c. Marketing. Annually, the CITY shall facilitate the design, print, and install of

by either party, without the prior written consent of the other party.

agent, servant, or employee of CITY and shall not and is not intended to create
the relationship of partnership, joint venture or association between CITY and
FOP.
Section 6. Termination. CITY may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days written
notice to FOP if CITY determines in its sole discretion that continuation of this
Agreement would not be in the public interest, that it would be adverse to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or that a substantial portion of CITY’s property is
unavailable due to construction activity. Prior to termination on the ground that
a substantial portion of CITY’s property is unavailable due to construction

Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
Staff Report No. 25-CR-019
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVAL OF SPECIAL EVENT LONG-TERM AGREEMENT WITH DAY AT THE
BEACH EVENTS FOR THE HERMOSA BEACH OPEN IN 2025 THROUGH 2027
CEQA: Approval of the proposed long-term agreement would be exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section
15304. The long-term agreement permits an event which is a minor, temporary use of
land in the form of a professional adult beach volleyball tournament. This type of
temporary event will have negligible or no permanent effect on the environment.
(Lead Special Events and Filming Coordinator Madison Schrock)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Approve a long-term agreement (LTA) with Day at the Beach Events (DATBE) for
the Hermosa Beach Open from 2025 through 2027;
2. Approve an exemption to the Special Events Policy Guide to allow 17 events in
September; and
3. Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute and the City Clerk to attest to
the long-term agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney (Attachment 3).
Executive Summary:
The Community Resources Department oversees special event requests and permitting
on public property. The Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1) establishes the LTA
Program, which allows eligible organizations to secure event dates for up to three years.
This reduces administrative burdens and provides greater event planning stability.
On September 10, 2024, City Council authorized staff to negotiate an LTA with DATBE for
the Hermosa Beach Open covering 2025 through 2027. Staff has successfully negotiated
terms and recommends approval of the proposed LTA.
Background:
The Community Resources Department oversees special events on public property in
accordance with the Special Events Policy Guide (Attachment 1). The guide provides a
comprehensive framework for event producers, including details on the review and
approval process, applicable fees, policies and relevant municipal codes . The LTA
Program enables qualifying organizations to secure event dates for up to three years,
eliminating the need for annual applications . Additionally, the LTA Program provides an
Page 281 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5
opportunity for event fees to be subsidized or waived through negotiations between the
City and the organization.
Atthachment 2 provides a summary of current LTAs, including organizations, events,
agreement terms, fees paid to the City, and estimated fees to be waived annually for each
agreement.
The Hermosa Beach Open has traditionally been hosted by the Association of Volleyball
Professionals (AVP) during the peak season (Memorial Day to Labor Day). Following the
determination that AVP would not host its professional volleyball tournament in 2024, City
Council, on May 20, 2024, approved DATBE to serve as host of the event in September
2024. This ensured the City would have a professional adult volleyball tournament in
2024, carrying on the tradition that had been in place for the past several years. AVP will
not host the tournament in 2025, with its status for 2026–2027 uncertain.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
May 10, 2024 Council approved the 2024 DATBE Hermosa Beach Open.
September 10, 2024 Council approved the commencement of LTA negotiations
with DATBE for the Hermosa Beach Open in 2025 through
2027.
Discussion:
Staff worked with DATBE to develop mutually agreeable terms for an LTA for the Hermosa
Beach Open from 2025 through 2027. Negotiations concluded and staff recommends
approval of the proposed LTA (Attachment 3), which includes the following key
provisions:
Fee Waivers
2024 Event: Staff recommends waiving $2,916 in outstanding indirect costs due
to the limited timeframe available for DATBE to plan the event , secure professional
adult volleyball players' participation in the event, and obtain sponsorships
following Council approval.
2025–2027 Events: Staff does not recommend fee waivers for indirect costs. Per
past practice, such waivers have been granted only to non -profit or longstanding
community events as reflected within the current LTAs (Attachment 2)
Use of Schumacher Plaza
DATBE requested the use of Schumacher Plaza for sponsor activations. Due to
previously scheduled events, Movies at the Beach and the Hermosa Beach Concert
Series, staff recommends approval of the use of Schumacher Plaza except for the
following dates:
September 6–7, 2025
Page 282 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5
September 12–13, 2026
September 11–12, 2027
DATBE will receive 30-day advance notice if Schumacher Plaza becomes available for
these dates.
City Name and Logo Usage
DATBE may use the City’s name and logo in marketing materials, subject to prior City
approval. The City would require prior review of any use of the City name and logo in
such marketing materials.
Proposed Event Dates and Fees
Table 1 includes the proposed event dates and the proposed payable fees to the City
annually. Attachments 4–6 are the 2025–2027 Special Events Calendars with the

Event Co-Sponsor: $356
Beginning in 2025, DATBE anticipates approximately 100 participants and 500 spectators
each event day, resulting in over 3,000 in attendance over the course of the now five-day
event, and anticipates growing the event annually leading to increased attendance. Due
to the increased anticipated attendance, the Category III fee would now be applicable for
the Hermosa Beach Open, totaling $18,500 which is a higher fee in comparison to the
2024 event. The 2024 event had an average of 65 participants and 100 spectators each
event day, resulting in approximately 660 over the course of what was then a four -day
event and resulted in the Category I fee being charged, totaling $1,950. Staff would work
with the event producer to ensure that the appropriate Category fee is charged based on
the actual participation and attendance for each year’s event.
September Event Cap Exemption
Page 283 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5
The Special Events Policy Guide limits non-peak season event days to 15. Approving this
LTA would result in 17 event days in September, requiring Council approval for an
exemption. DATBE requested these dates to accommodate professional volleyball player
availability.

Use Classifications + Impact Characteristics
Special events are evaluated based on several factors and will be categorized as Impact Level I, II, or III based
on the information provided in the Special Events Application. Once the information is submitted and reviewed
by the Community Resources Department, City staff will determine the Impact Level of the event using the
Impact Characteristics Matrix.
The Impact Level of the event will be used to determine:
• the deadline for Special Event Application submittal; and

insurance in the form of a certificate naming "the City of Hermosa Beach, its officers, agents, volunteers, and
employees as additional insureds." This exact verbiage is required. Event producer shall notify the City at least
thirty (30) days prior to the termination, reduction, cancellation, suspension, modification, or expiration of the
policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Event producer shall maintain insurance coverage meeting the
standards outlined in this Section at all times during the term of the activity or activities for which the Event

on an "occurrence" basis, including property damage, bodily injury, death, and personal and advertising injury
with limits no less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies,
either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this Agreement, or the general aggregate limit shall
be twice the required occurrence limit. The City reserves the right to request greater or lesser amounts of
insurance coverage.
If the use includes athletic activities, shall provide evidence of that the commercial general liability insurance
includes coverage for injuries to athletic participants and participant accident insurance.

days prior to each Event. While approval of parking request(s) will
not be unreasonably withheld, already scheduled activities or
events will have priority. The CITY will consider approval based on
the location, seasonal needs for parking, and the overall impacts to
the loss of parking spaces to the area. DATBE shall ensure the
spaces are clean from debris, and other materials that were
collected as a result of Event activities.

signage and any additional poles. It is estimated that the City will need approximately 375 signs installed, and 30 new poles
installed in some locations due to a lack of existing poles. The installation will occur in areas of the city where paid parking is
currently provided.

Staff Report No. 25-PW-009
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF A REPORT
FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESMENTS WITHIN THE HERMOSA BEACH
LANDSCAPING AND STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT DURING FY 2025–2026
CEQA: Determine the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the
preparation of a report for the annual levy of assessments within the Hermosa Beach
Landscaping and Street Lighting District during Fiscal Year 2025–2026.
Executive Summary:
The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District (District) collects funds for
the maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping
within street medians and parkways. The District must be renewed annually through a
three-step process. Staff recommends initiation of the renewal process for Fiscal Year
2025–2026.
Background:
The District was created in Fiscal Year 1989 –1990, pursuant to the Landscaping and
Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Sections 22500 –22679). The District
assessment funds the maintenance and operation of streetlights, traffic signals, and
landscaping located within parkways and medians citywide. The assessment rate has
remained unchanged since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and is set at $41.45
per dwelling unit.
The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District partially funds the
maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within
street medians and parkways. The anticipated assessment to be collected for Fiscal Year
2024–25 is $457,732. The estimated total cost to maintain the District for the current fiscal
year is $858,525.
At its June 11, 2024 meeting, as part of the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget,
City Council approved a transfer of $419,095 from the General Fund to cover the
$400,793 shortfall for maintaining the District for Fiscal Year 2024–2025 and the projected
Page 373 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
$25,491 deficit in the District Fiscal Year 2023–24 ending fund balance. The remaining
$7,189 difference will be subsidized from miscellaneous revenues.
The City Council must approve the annual enrollment of assessments within the District
through a three-step process. First, Council directs the Director of Public Works to prepare
an Engineer’s Report, which includes the list of parcels within the District, the method of
apportioning the assessment across these parcels, and the estimated cost of maintaining
and operating the District. Second, staff presents the engineer’s report to Council for
approval and requests to set a date for a public hearing declaring the City Council’s
intention to order certain improvements and to levy and collect assessments within the
District for the new fiscal year. The third and final step is to hold a public hearing to gather
public input on the proposed assessment and to determine whether there is a majority
protest to the annual levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2025–2026.
Analysis
The City complies with Proposition 218 and can continue to levy assessments without
requiring a ballot, provided the assessments are not increased. The assessment rate per
dwelling unit has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and will
continue at the rate of $41.45 per dwelling unit in Fiscal Year 2025–2026.
By approving the attached resolution, City Council authorizes initiation of the annual
renewal process by authorizing the preparation of an Engineer’s Report, which would
contain maps, methodology, costs, and estimated assessments for the District. The
Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 requires the following action items in order to levy
and collect assessments for the District for Fiscal Year 2025–2026:
1. The Director of Public Works files the Engineer’s Report consisting of, among other
things, the map and the assessments with the City Clerk;
2. The City Council adopts a resolution approving the report as prepared under the
direction of the Director of Public Works;
3. The City Council adopts a resolution setting the date, time, and place for a Public
Hearing in order to accept input on the report for the District for Fiscal Year 2025–
2026.
4. The City Council holds a Public Hearing and, if no majority protest is heard, adopts
a resolution confirming the map and assessment for the District for Fiscal Year
2025–2026 and levies the assessment rate for the fiscal year commencing on July
1, 2025 and ending on June 30, 2026; and
5. The City Council adopts the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 estimated revenue for secured
collections for the District.
Environmental Review:
Page 374 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the CEQA. The pro ject, which includes
initiation of proceedings for the levying of annual assessments for landscape
maintenance purposes, is within certain classes of projects that have been determined
not to have a significant effect on the environment in that it meets the criteria set forth in
Section 15301, subsection (h), and Section 15306 of the CEQA guidelines. The project
provides information collection for the District, as well as maintenance of existing
landscaping, and will not involve any expansion of an existing use or the removal of
healthy, mature, or scenic trees. In addition, based on the proposed project records, it will
comply with all applicable regulations; it is not in a sensitive environment; and there are
no cumulative impacts, unusual circumstances, damage to scenic highways, listing on
hazardous waste site lists compiled pursuant to Government Code, Section 65962.5, or
indications that it may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a
historical resource that would make the exemptions inapplicable.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency
with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Mobility Element
Goal 2. A public realm that is safe, comfortable, and convenient for travel via foot,
bicycle, public transit, and automobile and creates vibrant, people oriented public
spaces that encourage active living.
Policies:
2.1 Prioritize public rights-of-way. Prioritize improvements of public rights-of-
way that provide heightened levels of safe, comfortable, and attractive public
spaces for all non-motorized travelers while balancing the need of efficient
vehicular circulation.
2.4 Sustainable landscape. Use consistent and sustainable landscape and
streetscape designs that reflect the city’s community identity; showcase local
assets and the community’s unique and vibrant culture.
Parks + Open Space Element
Goal 10. Abundant landscaping, trees, and green space provided throughout the
community.
Policy:
10.3 Green space co-benefits. Recognize the many positive qualities provided
by landscaping, trees, and green space including reduced heat gain, controlled
stormwater runoff, absorbed noise, reduced soil erosion, improved aesthetic
character, and absorption of air pollution.
Page 375 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 4
Infrastructure Element
Goal 1. Infrastructure systems are functional, safe, and well maintained.
Policies:
1.1 Infrastructure systems plan. Establish and adopt an integrated, holistic
systems approach to guide infrastructure development, improvement,
maintenance, and resilience.
1.4 Fair share assessments. Require new development and redevelopment
projects to pay their fair share of the cost of infrastructure improvements needed
to serve the project and ensure that needed infrastructure is available prior to or at
the time of project completion.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. However, annually,
there is a shortfall between what is collected through the assessment and what is needed
to operate and maintain the District. During the FY 2024–25 budget, City Council
approved a transfer of $419,095 from the General Fund. It is anticipated that the shortfall
for Fiscal Year 2025–2026 would also require similar transfers.
Council approved $20,000 in the Fiscal Year 2024–2025 Budget to conduct a preliminary
study of the District’s rates and consider the creation of a new supplemental district. This
preliminary study aims to identify options for addressing the annual operating deficit and
eliminate the need for additional transfers from the General Fund or other discretionary
funds. The preliminary study may also incorporate recommendations from the Parks
Master Plan and is slated for City Council’s further consideration in Fiscal Year 2025–
2026. To effectuate any proposed rate increase, it must be placed on the ballot in an
upcoming general election in compliance with Proposition 218.

Staff Report No. 25-PD-001
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
APPROVAL OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE BY THE HERMOSA BEACH POLICE
DEPARTMENT PURSUANT TO ASSSEMBLY BILL 418
(Police Chief Paul LeBaron)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Review and renew Ordinance No. 22 -1446 (Attachment 1), an ordinance of the
City of Hermosa Beach adopting Military Use Equipment Policy, in accordance with
Assembly Bill 481;
2. Receive and file the Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) Annual Military
Equipment Report (Attachment 2), in compliance with Assembly Bill 481,
governing the use of military equipment by HBPD; and
3. Receive and file the Hermosa Beach Police Department Policy 706—Military
Equipment (Attachment 3).
Executive Summary:
Pursuant to AB 481, City Council is required to review and renew an AB 481 Policy for
the Police Department to continue to use military equipment within the City.
Background:
Effective January 1, 2022, California State Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481) established
requirements for the funding, acquisition, and use of items defined as “military equipment”
by local and state law enforcement agencies. This bill intended enforceable safeguards,
including transparency, accountability, and oversight, to protect the public’s welfare,
safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. AB 481 requires law enforcement agencies to adopt
policies for military equipment use, raising funds for, or acquiring military equipment.
At its April 26, 2022 meeting, City Council introduced and waived the first reading of an
ordinance adopting a Military Use Equipment Policy pursuant to AB 481. At its May 10,
2022 meeting, City Council waived the full second reading and adopted by title Ordinance
No. 22-1446 (Attachment 1), adopting a compliant policy. Pursuant to AB 481, the police
department shall publish an Annual Military Equipment Report for each type of military
equipment approved by the Hermosa Beach City Council, for a s long as this military
equipment is available for use.
Page 381 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4
At its September 10, 2024 meeting, City Council reviewed and renewed Ordinance 22-
1446, and received and filed the Hermosa Beach Police Department Annual Military
Equipment Report. By completing this, the City of Hermosa Beach completed guidelines
under AB 418, which require police departments to publish Annual Military Equipment
reports for each type of military equipment approved.
Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
April 26, 2022 City Council introduced and wived first reading of an
ordinance adopting a military use equipment policy
pursuant to Assembly Bill 481.
May 10, 2022 City Council waived the full second reading and adopted by
title Ordinance No. 22-1446 of the City of Hermosa Beach
adopting a military use equipment policy.
September 10, 2024 City Council reviewed and renewed Ordinance No. 22-1446
of the City of Hermosa Beach adopting a Military Equipment
Policy and received and filed the Hermosa Beach Police
Department Annual Military Equipment Report.
Discussion:
Law enforcement situations are often unpredictable and complex, requiring strategic
responses to ensure safety for everyone involved. In some cases, specialized equipment,
tools, or resources are essential to de -escalate violent or tense scenarios, minimizing
harm to community members, involved individuals, and officers while increasing the
likelihood of a positive resolution. Military equipment, as defined by statute, includes items
such as drones, unstaffed ground vehicles, armored vehicles, pepper balls, le ss-lethal
40mm projectile launchers, and distraction devices. These tools, proven effective in real-
world conditions, are used to enhance community and officer safety and reduce the need
for force escalation. Their use is considered best practice in law enforcement.
HBPD is committed to utilizing equipment that safeguards the community and minimizes
the risk of escalating volatile situations to potentially lethal encounters. The Department
has not identified any other alternatives that provide the same lev el of effectiveness in
ensuring the safety of both community members and officers. Preparation and publication
of the Annual Military Equipment Report (Attachment 2) further reinforces the City’s
dedication to transparency and compliance with California St ate law.
Since the adoption of Ordinance No. 22-1446, HBPD has not purchased any additional
military equipment nor received community complaints, concerns, or initiated internal
investigations regarding its use. The Annual Military Equipment Report cover s the period
from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. This report includes the military equipment
inventory and a copy of Policy 706—Miliary Equipment (Attachment 3).
Page 382 of 1852
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
Policy 706—Military Equipment was made publicly available on the City website on
September 11, 2024. The Annual Military Equipment Report became publicly available on
the City website on January 27, 2025. This staff report, along with the accompanying
presentation at the Council meeting, fulfills AB 481’s requirement to provide a public forum
for questions and input on the Military Equipment Policy.
Staff recommends City Council review and renew Ordinance 22-1446 and receive and
file the Annual Military Equipment Report to meet the requirements of AB 481.
Environmental Review
The City Council finds that the review and renewal of this ordinance is not a “project” f or
purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as that term is defined by
CEQA guidelines (Guidelines) sections 15061(b)(3), and 15378(b)(5). The effect of the
proposed renewal will be to maintain the status quo. No new development will result from
the proposed action. No impact to the physical environment will result. The City Council
also alternatively finds that the review and renewal of this ordinance is exempt from the
provisions of CEQA as an administrative activity by the City of Hermosa Beach, that will
not result in any direct or indirect physical change in the environment, per sections
15061(b)(3), and 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines, as well as CEQA Guidelines
section 15064(e) (economic regulations).
