Subject: Please Make South Park a 2014 Priority
Dear Council members,
Thank you for your support for the South Park Universally Accessible and Natural Playground
plan. The park is in such need of a facelift and Design Option 1 will offer our community a
beautiful oasis to spend time in.
I am writing to ask that you include the plans for the park in your strategic priorities for 2014.
Best regards,
Laura Fisher

Dear City Council Members,
I hope that you will give a top priority to this long-in-the-making project. It will be good for citizens young
and old, and meet one of our goals to be a caring, health conscious city.
Thank you,
Andrea Valcourt

Make HB Fecal-Free
By Bob Couture
Hermosa Beach has become the Afghanistan of the West. Although instead of being peppered with
landmines left behind by the Soviet occupation it is peppered with land mines of dog feces left behind by
our own occupants.
I can’t travel anywhere in our small community without dodging a pile of dog poo. Run the Strand and
you are guaranteed a fresh batch waiting for you. Take your kids to the park (South or Valley) and dare to
venture into the grass and you will find some not-so-hidden gems. Try to drop off the kids at either Valley
or View Schools and you are forced to circumnavigate the doggie landmines on the sidewalk, tree belt or
curb. The palm tree boxes along Pier Ave have been converted into doggie litter boxes. The chip trail
might be the most dangerous as the dog chips gets camouflaged amongst the actual wood chips.
I think you get my point. Can it be that so many resident dog owner’s are this inconsiderate and quite
frankly lazy? I have yet to spot a single offender though. Many a time an owner will do the sheepish 360-
degree scan, but as soon as they spot some eyeballs on them the bust out their little baggie and do the
right thing.
The Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Section 6.04.100: “The owner of any dog must curb said dog and
immediately remove the feces and dispose of same in such a manner approved by the County Health
Dept. Owner of the dog shall have in his/her possessions, carried in full view, a suitable wrapper, bag or
container (other than articles of personal clothing) for the purpose of complying with the requirements of
this section.”
I have presented a problem; so let’s explore some solutions.
1. Start a campaign with a snazzy catch phrase like “Don’t Be Cruel, Pick Up Your Dog’s Stool”,
“Curb Your Dog’s Enthusiasm”, or “Keep HB Fecal Free” and get the resident’s behind doing the
right thing. Maybe it is as simple as awareness to remedy this problem.
2. Take some unique ideas from Cesar Millan the Dog Whisperer (http://www.cesarsway.com/dog-
care/housebreaking/Unique-Solutions-to-Dog-Poop-Problems)
Special Delivery for You - In a small town in Spain, the local government was so tired of people
neglecting to clean up their dogs’ mess that they found volunteers willing to patrol the streets and watch
for them. When they notice an owner who doesn’t pick up after their pet, they immediately head over and
talk to the person, making sure to ascertain the dog’s name and breed. Then, when the owner leaves, they
scoop the mess up in a special government-branded box. By learning the name and breed of the dog, they
can figure out the name and address of the owner using the town’s registered pet database.
The box is labeled “Lost Property,” and a courier delivers it right back to the guilty pet owner. Result was
a 70 percent reduction in abandoned dog waste.
Poo-Fi - In Mexico City, where the Mexican internet portal Terra is encouraging people to pull out those
pooper-scoopers by offering free Wi-Fi. They equipped parks around the city with special boxes where
people could throw away their dog poop. The higher the weight of the poop in the box, the more minutes
of free Wi-Fi available to everyone in the park.
Kids Do the Darndest Things- In Bristol, England had campaign to get people to clean up after pets.
They feature signs with toddlers picking up dog poop, smearing it all over themselves, and even eating it.
A stunt for shock value? Maybe. But if you have a toddler, you know it’s not out of the realm of
possibility. And if that’s not enough to make parents remember to clean up after their dogs, I don’t know
what is.
3. In Southern France the French handled the issue by a hired motorcycled pooper-scooper. This guy
would drive around with a vacuum cleaner type gizmo attached to his motorcycle and suck up the
piles around town. I am not a big fan of this approach as it excuses the behavior and makes the City
responsible for picking it up.
4. My favorite is, how a Braintree, Massachusetts condo complex tackled the poop problem. The
complex now required owners to pay $50 to have their dog submit a DNA sample to the database.
When residents report finding dog poo on the grounds, a maintenance worker can send off a kit using
a service called Poo Prints, run by a company called BioPet. Lab techs then test it against the doggie
DNA database. If there’s a match, the owner pays a $150 fine. Just the threat of accountability seems
to have people cleaning up (their act.)
I am not affiliated with Poo Prints or BioPet in any way, but I surely see a way to make that application
work. By making it the cost of owning a dog in Hermosa Beach, the pet owner would have a pre-
determined time, say 6 months, to pay for and submit their pets DNA sample. Boxes would be available
at City Hall for anyone to turn in a pet owner’s “lost property” for testing. Hermosa Beach would have to
foot the initial cost to mail and test, but would recoup that from fines levied on the perpetrators.
Hermosa Beach has done some amazing work to protect the environment, create, a “green” city, promote
healthy lifestyles, and curb smoking. Creating a fecal-free city nests within all these
initiatives/campaigns.
Bob Couture is a homeowner and resident of Hermosa Beach. He runs, walks and dodges throughout the
city with his wife and two young children. He loves dogs, but enjoys a fecal-free environment even more.
He envisions a city where you can have both.

Subject: Supplemental for tonight's City Council Meeting (3/11/14) for Item 6 (c)
Dear Councilmembers,
As part of item 6 (c) the city added the "City of Hermosa Beach: Decision-
Making Tool." It says "This decision-making tool is designed to: 5. Deliver
transparency to the decision-making process so that the public can make
informed decisions."
Item 6 (c) does not in any way conform to this goal of the Decision-Making
Tool. You have mislabeled this item as "SECOND RESTATED SUMMER
CONCERT SERIES AND FALL/SPRING CONCERTS" when in fact the
fall/spring concerts are a new item and take place in an entirely different
venue than the summer concert series. Moreover, unlike the summer concert
series, alcohol will be served at these fall/spring concerts. Also, this item is
not "restated" but is in fact a new item. Please keep in mind that the city has
a valid contract for the summer concert series through the end of summer
2015, so there is no rush to add additional concerts without sufficient public
notice to the residents affected by these new concerts.
If your goal is transparency then you ought to be transparent and characterize
this item correctly so that residents will truly understand the nature of item 6
(c): A minimum of two annual concerts on Lot A where loud music will be
played and alcohol and food will be served at the same time that the city will
lose thousands of dollars in parking revenue.

Subject: supplemental for tonight s meeting item 6C Concert Promoter Concert Series(2 full weekends) in City
Parking Lot
Dear city council:
My last correspondence on this item should be included in tonight review of the new concert venue you
are planning to develop in our city parking lots.
I think this item deserves more public input. Do you think people in the impacted parking area are going
to enjoy all these new concert goers descending on an already busy regular weekend night. What about
the lost parking spaces when we have nice weekend weather during these events?
What fool could call this business development. On the evenings of these concerts our downtown bars &
restaurants are already busy. This will have little impact economically, but will create more traffic, more
taxis trips, more people looking for parking stalls, increase the city's carbon footprint, increase crime and
vandalism,increase the need for police overtime, decrease police coverage for the homes away from
downtown and east of PCH. There are lots of associated risks that come with kind of concert, alcohol
allowed development of our parking venues.
Why not table this until you hire the contract person for business development and get their input. Why
not survey the residents in the impacted area when they renew their parking permits over the next few
months. Point out the impacts to the residents.
Carolyn Petty once spoke at city council about downtown noise, parking and bars before her
election. Ask her if this concert venue will improve the lives of her old neighbors? Has she forgotten
what its like to live close to this concert venue? Will this concert series improve residential real estate
values for those in the impacted area? Will more families want to take their kids for a walk near the Pier
during these concert evenings? Why are none of our area cities doing similar conversions of their beach
parking?
Is there not enough night life in Hermosa Beach, the city now wants to get in the Rock Concert Promotion
Business with local business owners?

Subject: Concerts
Mayor DiVirgilio and Councilwoman Barragan...unfortunately I can't attend the meeting tonight, therefore I am writing to you to ask
that you postpone making a decision on the additional concerts until we can all fully understand the facts. I am not against having the
concerts but we need to be realistic...let's face it the parking proposal is ridiculous. - does anyone really believe concert-goers are
going to park and walk without first driving around the neighborhood 3-4 times looking for a spaces that don't exist? This isn't going
to be the Fiesta Hermosa crowd who do the park & ride!! Additionally, by ending the Saturday events at 11pm we add up to 1000
people to a small area on an already busy Saturday which usually results in public drunkenness, disruptive and disrespectful behavior
and so much more. A recipe for disaster for residents.
Having said that, here are my questions and concerns - I hope you will consider them before green lighting this not fully vetted idea.
Aside from the totally bogus parking proposal, I am most confused by how many concerts we are talking about here...the proposal
says 2 but when you read the document they are actually proposing FOUR concerts each weekend - 2 free concerts for "families" and
2 ticketed concerts with alcohol. Math was never my best subject but when I add them up I have EIGHT concerts total over 2
weekends. And while only four would be ticketed the reality is we are talking EIGHT concerts total.
Logistics (not including parking)
How does it work to invite the public for free from 12pm - 4pm then charge the ridiculous amount of $100 for a different concert in
the same place from 5pm - closing?
Both days should end at 7pm not 11pm on Saturday.
Where do the original folks go if they are not ready to leave?
How do we accommodate the traffic - both pedestrian and vehicular - of those coming and going...there are only so many ways in and
out of this place!!!
How will they make that turnaround from free to ticketed in an hour and what exactly are the adjustments being made during the
turnover?
How many people per day are we looking at? The proposal says 1000 tickets will be sold but that doesn't include a head count for the
free portion
The worker bees who set up/tear down/ do sound lights etc - where do they park? What about equipment trucks?
Revenues
Agreement says "producer shall pay City for EACH off-season concert the greater of $10k or an amount equal to the sum of 15% of
the gross sponsorship revenue + 2% of net ticket sale revenue. To me that means $20k per weekend as there are 2 days of concerts per
weekend which means a total of 4 concerts.
Is the $10k per weekend a guarantee?
Ticket sales
$100 per ticket - is liquor included in that price?
Is it really reasonable to think people are going to pay $100 when they can hang out on the Strand and hear it for free?
Are the musical acts going to be of such a high caliber they can command more for a ticket than popular bands like Arcade Fire?
While I have many more questions, these are the ones I am most concerned with. I appreciate you taking my concerns under
consideration and I trust you will do the right thing tonight by asking for clarification and a workable solution to the cluster that will
surely ensue if you allow this silly parking plan to stand.
Thank you again for your time.
Sheryl Main
PS
Happy to see the decision making tool was used...
