Subject:
Dear Councilman,
We recently received notice from the city that we will be ticketed when our cars overhang the
sidewalks. My driveway is under 11' and we always pull up as close to the garage door as
possible. Though we do overlap the sidewalk, there is still plenty of room to walk around, in
addition to a 8 1/2 foot slope out to the street. What we find most upsetting is that this was
instigated by a single individual.
Additionally, I own an electric vehicle (Tesla) and my garage does not fit my car. I must park in
my driveway to charge my car. I have no options. I have been living here for two years and
there seems to be a precedent that the city does not enforce this law.
My girlfriend just moved from her home in Santa Monica where she had a subterranean private
garage. She incurred considerable cost to move, and within a week she had received a notice.
This entire situation not only poses a considerable financial concern, it also poses the potential
for emotional duress as there are only 12 parking spots on our side of the street and my girlfriend
may be forced to park blocks away compromising her safety.
This entire situation is very upsetting. This enforcement will effect most people in our
neighborhood, and I am sure thousands throughout Hermosa Beach. We are hoping that the city
will reconsider the decision to allow one person to negatively impact our lives.

Jesse Raynes

Subject: City Public Relations
Dear City Councilmembers,
I am writing to you about Item 2 (g) on the agenda for the city council meeting tomorrow. I do
not understand why a city needs a public relations company. The city is not a major company
like Yahoo or Exxon/Mobil nor is it a film company. Since why does a city need a
publicist? Hermosa Beach is a simple and small city that does not need publicity. If you were
giving $72,000 to our schools or to improve a street, I could understand that. But giving $72,000
to a public relations company is a real waste of taxpayers' dollars. I hope you will decide to
eliminate this unsound expenditure.
Sincerely,
Lucy Maurer

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council September 23, 2014
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO ALLOW THE VOTERS OF HERMOSA BEACH TO
CONSIDER APPROVING AN OIL/GAS PIPELINE FRANCHISE
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution declaring its
intention to submit a proposed franchise for oil and gas pipelines to the electorate
relating to a proposed oil and gas drilling and production project proposed by E&B
Natural Resources Management Corporation for the city maintenance yard at 555 6th
Street and setting a time to receive any objections to placing the franchise before the
voters for approval.
Background:
The proposed E&B Project involves the grant of a pipeline franchise to E&B, authorizing
the construction and use of oil/gas pipelines under the City’s public streets. Specifically,
the project proposes placement of oil and gas pipelines constructed underground in the
right of way of Southbound Valley Drive to the City of Hermosa Beach border with
Redondo Beach at Herondo Street. The location of the proposed pipelines in Hermosa
Beach are described in the diagram below (which is taken from the Final EIR for this
project). The proposed franchise is limited to the portion of the pipeline shown within the
territorial boundaries of the City of Hermosa Beach. This pipeline was studied as part of
the project in the Final EIR certified on July 8, 2014.
If the voters approve the franchise for the oil and gas pipelines, E&B must obtain a
ministerial encroachment permit setting forth appropriate conditions as required by the
Municipal Code and implementing the mitigation measures set forth in the Final
Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) and incorporated into the Development
Agreement.
The term of this franchise will be co-terminus with the term of the lease. The royalties to
be paid to the City as provided in the lease subsume any franchise fee associated with
this franchise.
2
DISCUSSION:
The proposed E&B Oil Drilling and Production Project involves the grant of a pipeline
franchise to E&B, authorizing the construction and use of oil and gas pipelines under
the City’s public streets. State law provides procedures to be followed when the City
Council grants a franchise. Under the Franchise Act of 1937, the City must:
(1) Adopt a resolution of intention declaring its intent to grant the franchise and
setting a hearing (Pub. Util. Code § 6232);
(2) Publish notice of the hearing at least once in the 15-day period after the
resolution of intention is adopted, which notice must include the franchise fee
and term of franchise (Pub. Util. Code § 6232);
(3) Hold a hearing between 20 and 60 days after the resolution of intention is
adopted, at which the public may raise objections to the franchise (Pub. Util.
Code § 6232);
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO SUBMIT A PROPOSED FRANCHISE FOR OIL
AND GAS PIPELINES TO THE ELECTORATE RELATING TO A PROPOSED OIL
AND GAS DRILLING AND PRODUCTION PROJECT PROPOSED BY E&B
NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT CORPORATION FOR THE CITY
MAINTENANCE YARD AT 555 6TH STREET AND SETTING A TIME TO RECEIVE
ANY OBJECTIONS TO PLACING THE FRANCHISE BEFORE THE VOTERS FOR
APPROVAL.
Section 1. Recitals:
1. The Settlement Agreement between the City and E&B Natural Resources
Management Corporation (“E&B”) calls for the City Council to submit to
the voters at a special election the question whether to amend the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to allow E&B’s oil and gas drilling and
production project to proceed at the City maintenance yard located 555
6th Street and to approve a development agreement that would afford
E&B a vested right to proceed with its project (“Project”). If approved by
the voters, the ballot measure will allow the Project to be developed by
E&B in accordance with Oil and Gas Lease No. 2 (the “Lease”) entered
into in January, 1992 between the City and Macpherson Oil Company
(“Macpherson”), E&B’s predecessor-in-interest
2. The proposed Project also involves the grant of a pipeline franchise to
E&B, authorizing the construction and use of oil/gas pipelines under the
City’s public streets. Specifically, the project proposes placement of oil
and gas pipelines constructed underground in the right of way of
Southbound Valley Drive to the City of Hermosa Beach border with
Redondo Beach at Herondo Street, as described in the map attached
hereto as Attachment A and incorporated herein by reference (limited to
the portion of the pipeline shown within the territorial boundaries of the
City of Hermosa Beach) (“Franchise”).
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
Section 2. It is the intention of the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach to
submit the proposed Franchise for oil and gas pipelines (as described
above) to the electorate as part of a proposed ordinance relating to the
Project.
Section 3. On October 14, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., in the Hermosa Beach City Council
chambers at 1315 Valley Drive in Hermosa Beach, California, the
Hermosa Beach City Council will consider calling a special municipal
election on Tuesday, March 3, 2015, to ask the voters whether the
Project should be approved with: 1) amendments to the General Plan
and Municipal Code, 2) a pipeline franchise to transport oil/gas
underground, 3) a development agreement, and 4) a determination
that project benefits outweigh its unavoidable environmental impacts.
Section 4. At the October 14, 2014 meeting, the City Council will also conduct a
hearing to receive any objections to placing the franchise before the
voters for approval. All persons having objections to placing the
franchise before the voters for approval on March 3, 2015 may appear
before the City Council and be heard.
Section 5. The City Clerk is hereby directed to publish notice of the date, hour
and place of this hearing at least once within fifteen (15) days after the
passage of this resolution in a newspaper of general circulation within
the City of Hermosa Beach. As required under California Public Utilities
Code Sections 6232 and 6233, the notice of the time and place of
hearing objections shall also state that E&B, and its successors and
assigns will, during the life of its franchise, pay to the City the royalties
as set out in the Lease and these royalties shall subsume any
franchise fees. The notice shall declare that in the event such payment
is not made, the franchise will be forfeited. The notice shall also state
that the term of this Franchise will be co-terminus with the term of the
Lease.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this ___ day of ___________, 2014.

Political pressure over helicopter noise could
lead to quieter Los Angeles County skies
Helicopters on the airfield at Torrance Municipal Airport. The FAA announced that it will
establish a system for logging helicopter noise complaints. Aug. 2012 file photo. (Robert Casillas

By Nick Green, Daily Breeze
Posted: 09/19/14, 7:54 PM PDT |
Relief may be in sight for Los Angeles County residents fed up with clattering helicopters.
On Friday, Federal Aviation Administration officials told residents who have long lobbied the
agency for greater regulatory oversight over excessive helicopter noise that they will finally put a
system in place to do just that.
“The FAA has approved funding and is moving forward to establish a noise complaint system
for L.A. County regarding helicopter operations,” Glen Martin, regional administrator for the
Western-Pacific region, said via email. “We plan to take approximately three months to complete
the contracting, and intend for the system to be up and running shortly after the first of the year.”
More details were unavailable from the agency, including the cost involved and what form the
noise complaint system would take.
However, helicopter activities and federal lawmakers who have pushed the FAA to take more
action applauded the move.
“While we are still waiting for final details — would this merely monitor noise levels or identify
the helicopters causing the problem — the establishment of a countywide helicopter noise
complaint system could be a significant development in our yearslong fight to give L.A.
residents the relief that they deserve,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank. “This move comes on
the heels of legislation Sen. (Dianne) Feinstein and I authored requiring the FAA to adopt new
rules and regulations if they could not achieve meaningful relief through voluntary measures.
“Collecting this data may give us a benchmark to work from and identify those who lack regard
for residents on the ground — and I’m looking forward to working with the operators,
homeowners and the FAA to make sure that we meet the urgent need for noise relief.”
Indeed, Bob Anderson, a Sherman Oaks resident who is president of the Los Angeles Area
Helicopter Noise Coalition, credits not only congressional pressure from the likes of sympathetic
legislators like Schiff, but also Martin for what amounts to a major shift in the stance of the
agency on the issue.
“This is a big shift,” Anderson said. “Our coalition and (helicopter) pilots both recommended
strongly that we needed a noise complaint system. ... The FAA said they were not interested and
then Glen came in and said, ‘Let me talk to some people.’
“We’re seeing much more proactive participation by the FAA and we appreciate it,” he added.
Anderson said the group would like to see a hotline activated, much like one established in New
York.
Anderson noted the FAA policy turnaround came in the wake of a strongly worded March letter
signed by eight members of California’s congressional delegation that expressed their “strong
disappointment’ in the lack of a “comprehensive countywide approach” to the issue.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said Friday the FAA would “acquire 12 months of correlated noise
complaint data for helicopters” as an initial step in supporting the creation of the noise complaint
system, but had few other details.
The FAA plans to brief congressional staffers, helicopter operators and others involved in the
issue next week, he said.
Anderson said he also hopes that, by year’s end, a written agreement will be in place with
helicopter operators that includes best practices to reduce noise impacts.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM GENERAL
COMMERCIAL (GC) TO LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (LD) AND
AMENDMENT OF ZONING MAP LAND USE CLASSIFICATION FROM
GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC) TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
(R-1) AND ADOPTION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE
DECLARATION AT 1222-1230 CORONA STREET
Recommendation:
Adopt the attached resolution approving the General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning map
amendments pertaining to 1222 to 1230 Corona Street and adoption of an environmental
Negative Declaration.
Background:
The owner of property at 1222 to 1230 Corona Street, comprised of 7,682 square feet, proposes
to amend the General Plan Land Use Map designation from General Commercial (GC) to Low
Density Residential (LD) and to rezone the property from General Commercial (C-3) to Single
Family Residential (R-1) to facilitate the future redevelopment of the parcels with two dwelling
units. The project site is currently developed with four one-story cottages built between 1924
and 1946. The project site fronts on Corona Street, located within the larger Aviation Boulevard
corridor. The block is bordered by Prospect Avenue (east side), Corona Street (west side), 14th
Street (north side) and Aviation Boulevard (south side). Existing uses within this block are both
residential and commercial.
Analysis:
On August 19, 2014, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and adopted Resolution
14-19 recommending approval of the proposed amendment. The development patterns including
the recent approval of a small commercial building on the adjacent vacant lots at 1081-1087
Aviation Blvd. appear to reduce the potential to aggregate the Aviation frontage with the subject
site into one larger commercial development. In addition, commercial use of the subject site
unless combined with other lots would be limited and lack visibility from a commercial street
and, therefore, it is unlikely that the site would significantly contribute to the commercial
revenue base. Additional detail is provided in the Planning Staff Report. A draft environmental
Negative Declaration was prepared and is proposed for adoption finding that no significant
effects would occur.
Planning Commission Resolution 14-19 and staff reports are attached and deliberations may also be
viewed online (August 19, 2014 - See Agenda Item 9):

Subject: Farmers market
Dear City Council,
I think its a great idea to move the Farmers market to the promenade on Wednesdays. I live in
Torrance but work in Hermosa Beach and would really enjoy going to the promenade for the
market rather than where it currently is. I also think that it would be great for the business of the
restaurants and stores on the pier to have the Farmers market relocated to the promenade.
Sincerely,
Laryssa Paresa.

August 13, 2014,
To: Hermosa Beach City Council
Re: Comments regarding proposed change of farmers market location and time
Greetings,
I am opposed to changing the day and location of the Hb farmers market. My family is very
happy with the current day and location at Clark Field. The Clark location is probably the most
family friendly environment in the city and is close to HVS so kids can travel there safely. There
is little traffic, convenient public restrooms, plenty of parking that is not impacted by beach
goers, and Friday is the perfect day because it is the one weekday where people can get away
from work and treat themselves to a visit.
The plaza, on the other hand, may be more accessible to those living closer to the beach who
walk to the market but it is definitely not a family friendly environment. The drunks, homeless
and drug dealers that regularly frequent the plaza make it less than ideal for a farmers market.
The removal of the brick wall on the corner of Strand and Pier in the Mermaid parking lot has
helped to move some of that group away but it is still not a place where I take my kids.
Additionally, parking is impacted in the area — especially during summer. The plaza is just not
as inviting as the current location.
This proposed change feels like the Chamber is trying to put lipstick on a pig. We all know the
Plaza is better suited for tourists and partying. I have lived here my whole life and it has always
been so.
Additionally, the following may be me being paranoid, but I will state it anyway. Perhaps it has
something to do with the proposed oil drilling and removing a perceived obstacle for E&B?
Perhaps without the farmers market at its current location oil tanker truck traffic would not be as
much of an impact or concern? Any such proposal suggested in the days leading up the March 3,
2015 vote on oil should be carefully reviewed. The Chamber has taken a pro-oil stance so, along
with the reasons for keeping the market at its currently location, I suggest you carefully consider
the source of this proposed change.
Thank you,
Chris Prenter

Subject: Moving the Farmers Market
Hello Mayor Barragan,
Thanks for coming to the Farmer's Market last Friday. We enjoyed talking with you.
We want to repeat our concern that this market might be taken away from its current location,
apparently in order to increase foot traffic for businesses in downtown Hermosa. This would be a big
mistake and a disservice to the many loyal fans of the Friday market. If the Chamber of Commerce wants
to /start /a new market, as they said in two identical letters to the Beach Reporter, then they should do
just that, starting with a new slate of vendors from Raw Inspirations. But they should not uproot an
existing and popular market.
The current location of the Friday market has much to recommend it: a large grassy area under a great
old oak tree for families with small children, adequate free parking, and a wide variety of friendly
vendors.
It is a favorite and safe hang-out for school children in the afternoon.
Friday is the most convenient day for me and many others who buy for the weekend. We live in
Manhattan Beach and could visit our market on Tuesday, but we prefer to shop on Friday in Hermosa.
If a downtown Wednesday market is inevitable, please at least allow the Rotary Club to take over the
Friday market at the current location.
Sincerely,
Bill McGill and Mary Anne McCarthy

Dear Nanette,
This week you will consider to move the Hermosa Beach Farmers Market to the Hermosa Plaza. I want
to encourage you to vote in favor of the move. The benefits to the downtown area and merchants
would begin the overdue process of recapturing the area. Since the creation of the plaza over ten years
ago the uses and reputation of the plaza has been debated. Originally designed and built for all the
businesses of the downtown area it has been the restaurants that have benefited from the new design
for some time in truth the bars have flourished from the location of the open air street.
Its time for the rest of the businesses and residents to benefit from the beautiful plaza location. To move
the Farmers Market back to downtown will not only give the residents a chance to rediscover the
downtown they may actually reclaim ownership of the area as an asset of the community. This is an
opportunity to cause a positive change in a direction the residents will have a hand in creating. In theory
it will provide a chance to create a downtown that suits the needs of its residents over time.
A quick survey of the businesses do include a number of restaurants that do become bars at night. But,
not on Wednesdays from noon to 4 pm. There is also numerous family friendly businesses that get
overlooked when the majority describe the area. Frosted Cupcake, Greenbelt, Paisano’s Pizza, Lappert
Ice Cream, Paciugo Gelato,The Boardwalk, Treasure Chest, two Spyder stores, two Gum Tree shops,
Subway, Curious, Maison Luxe, Sol Baby, Details, to name just a few.
What if the Farmers Market return to the downtown brought a new aliveness to the area? A
Renaissance of sorts might take place with some new and vital attention to the area. Sparking new
revenues for just the type of businesses the city is looking to strengthen and attract to the city. If you
approve this opportunity to move the market you will essentially take back the plaza for a time. Which
validates according to one of the laws of physics, “ that you can’t have two things occupy the same
space at the same time. They can’t overlap”, the Pauli exclusion principle. Therefore if families and
shoppers utilize the area there isn’t room for just the bars to succeed.
Hermosa Beach already uses the plaza for its Christmas celebration, Surfer’s Walk of Fame and various
other city celebrations during the year. Never has the “dangers of children in the area” been brought up
before. Why is this a concern now?
In the past the children of Hermosa Beach have felt safe and welcome everywhere in the city. Why can’t
we start to create that same sanctuary for them now? With a step in the direction we want to go rather
than stand back in fear? Access to the market is actually easier for the students if they use the back
ramp from Valley School they come out right onto Monterey Blvd. from there it's four or five block walk
to the plaza. All residential streets which are not nearly as busy as Valley Drive in the afternoon. With
some carefully added tables, benches with umbrellas at the market for use by visitors and the students.
How cool would it be for families to meet downtown after the market and have dinner together at one
of the nice restaurants catch up and create an atmosphere of community.
Finally, the City of Hermosa Beach is very aware of the value of the plaza so the move to Wednesday is
to accommodate rental uses on Friday afternoon that may occur for the city. This move should be seen
as an opportunity for everyone to rediscover and claim a valuable asset of the City of Hermosa Beach for
a better tomorrow.
Its time to look toward a positive direction rather than focus on the negative. Don’t let the stays quo
rule your decision to set a new horizon for the future of Hermosa Beach. Let the Farmers Market come
downtown then stand back and watch the growth occur not only the downtown merchants but the
residents of Hermosa Beach.
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
Chris Miller

Subject: Friday Farmers' Market
Ms. Barragan,
Your interest in the community opinion regarding the Friday market is immensely
appreciated! We prefer to keep the market on Fridays in its current location. In addition, it has
come to my attention that the market manager is vitally important in keeping existing vendors as
well as reinstating some vendors who have left the Hermosa market in anticipation of the new
manager, Raw Inspirations, Inc. As customers of the Farmers' market, we would like to continue
the practice of buying from local, small farmers and businesses. The philosophy of Raw
Inspirations, Inc. appears to contradict the idea of supporting the small farmers. Some vendors
have already left the Hermosa market in anticipation of the Raw Inspirations takeover.
I would love to be able to continue to purchase from the vendors who have been committed to
and supported by the Hermosa Beach community. Harry's Berries, for example, sells a product
that is unsurpassed by any other local berry seller and I would hate to see them leave our
market. Changing the day of the week for the market will change the diversity of the vendors as
our usual vendors may already have commitments in other areas on Wednesday. In addition,
placing the market in the Pier Plaza may seem beneficial for the surrounding businesses but that
location makes it particularly cumbersome and difficult for local residents to find parking,
especially during beautiful sunny months (which is most of the year), and nearly impossible in
the summer.
Thank you for your concern with the community opinions regarding this matter. Businesses are
important in our community but the desires and needs of the residents of the community are vital
as well, as we can always give our dollars to a neighboring market. I appreciate your time in this
matter.
Sincerely,
Jeanette Oka

understand that we are opposed to moving the Farmers’ Market to Pier Plaza. Not EVERYTHING in Hermosa
needs to be located at Pier Plaza; it is very nice to distribute the activities of the City around the City itself!
Councilmember Barragan, my husband said he had met you at the Farmers’ Market last week; I am still unable to
move around much so I won’t be at the meeting tonight but I want to make sure our voices are heard - we love the
Friday Farmers’ Market at the current location. It is convenient, centrally located so it draws people from east and
west and a perfect size at least for our needs. We love to be able to buy our produce (and fish and bread….) on
Friday so our weekends reap the benefit of fresh healthful food with plenty left for the week.
If the Farmers’ Market moves to Pier Plaza on Wednesdays, we will regretfully patronize the Redondo Beach
Farmers’ Market on Thursdays, closer to the weekend. Thank you for listening. Joan and Ron Arias/720 8th
Street/HB

Subject: Farmer's Market - Moving to Pier
Honorable Mayor and HB City Council Members:
I am writing to express my support for the idea of moving our weekly Farmer's Market to Pier
Avenue as a bold move toward intentionally shaping a desired atmosphere at the Pier that is
enriching to our quality of life as well as safe/healthy for all our residents and businesses.
I realize that all details need to be thoughtfully considered, however such moves might well
contribute to the type of growth and expansion that would attract more positive changes to
Hermosa Beach. In fact, I would like to see more outside-the-box thinking where appropriate. I
also personally feel that Hermosa Beach can retain its unique character, history and small town
charm while also evolving toward greater success within a more progressive community
environment.
Thank you for all your efforts.
Very best regards,
Mary Campbell

Subject: Comment on moving Farmers Market
As a resident of Hermosa Beach I am AGAINST moving the present Farmers Market from Clark Stadium
to Pier Plaza.
I purchase vegetables for the MCHS Snack Stand on Friday afternoon for use that night (home games)
and the prices are cheaper than the grocery stores--and the quantity and quality is better. We couldn't
afford to offer what we do if not for the Friday Farmers Market.
Whenever I am in the area Friday afternoon I see at least a hundred children and parents visiting the
Farmers Market--it is walking distance from Valley School and is a family friendly place to get and see
fresh food. I see some of the children with flowers they bought for their moms and there seems to be a
groups of 'stroller moms' that meet and have lunch there on Fridays. All of this would be lost! Why
would you destroy a community event that is become ingrained?
Thank you for voting against moving the Friday Farmer's Market, Priscilla Atwell Hammond Atwell Rex

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
The Hermosa Beach City Council September 23, 2014
REVIEW AND RECONSIDERATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION
DETERMINATION TO ALLOW USE OF ALTERNATIVE POINTS
ADJACENT TO THE TOP OF RETAINING WALLS ALONG HERMOSA
AVENUE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MEASURING BUILDING HEIGHT
AT 2240 HERMOSA AVENUE
Recommendation:
Sustain the Planning Commission’s decision to allow use of alternative points adjacent to the top of
the retaining wall along Hermosa Avenue for the purpose of measuring building height for a new
dwelling at 2240 Hermosa Avenue.
Background:
On August 26, 2014, the City Council took jurisdiction of the Planning Commission’s decision to
approve a grade and slope determination to use alternative points adjacent to the top of the retaining
wall along Hermosa Avenue for building height measurement purposes.
The Planning Commission considered and approved the subject request on August 19, 2014 (See
Agenda Item 12). The staff report and supporting materials and deliberations may be viewed online:
http://hermosabeach.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=6&clip_id=3233&meta_id=156908
Full size plans are also available for review in the City Clerk’s Office and in the Community
Development Department, 1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach.
Analysis:
The applicant is requesting to use alternate points adjacent to the top of retaining walls along
Hermosa Avenue for building height calculation purpose.
Pursuant to the definition of building height and grade in Section 17.04.040 of the Zoning
Ordinance, and the method of determining building height in Section 17.46.015, the grade used for
height measurements is based on the surveyed elevations points at the property corners. However,
alternate elevations points along the property lines that represent unaltered grade and the natural
contour of the property may also be considered by the Planning Commission.
The applicant submitted a lot survey showing spot elevations at two-foot intervals along north and
south property lines, topographic profiles of the property showing the elevations change, the pattern
and degrees of slope along the north and south property lines, and site photographs. This
information demonstrate the subject lot is configured similar to others on the block, being 30-foot
wide and sloping up from (Hermosa Avenue) for about 8 feet and flattening out toward the alley
(Palm Drive) along its 80-foot length.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach City Council September 23, 2014
REVIEW AND RECONSIDERATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION
DETERMINATION THAT 337 LONGFELLOW AVENUE IS A
CONVEX SLOPING LOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF MEASURING
BUILDING HEIGHT
Recommendation:
Sustain the Planning Commission’s determination that 337 Longfellow Avenue is a
convex sloping lot and may interpolate points on the top of the slope rather than using
property corner elevations for determining grade and measuring building height.
Background:
On August 26, 2014, the City Council took jurisdiction of the Planning Commission’s
decision that 337 Longfellow Avenue is a convex sloping lot and elevation points may be
interpolated on the top of the slope for the purposes of determining the grade and
measuring building height.
The Planning Commission considered and approved the subject request on August 19,
2014 (See Agenda Item 13). The staff report and supporting materials and deliberations
may be viewed online:
http://hermosabeach.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=6&clip_id=3233&meta_id
=156914 Full size plans are available for review in the Community Development
Department, 1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach.
Analysis:
The applicant is requesting to use alternate points along both the east and west property
lines where the survey and topographical profiles show a convex condition along the mid
portion of the property, rather than using a straight-line interpolation between the
property corner points.
Pursuant to the definitions of ‘building height’ and ‘grade’ and the method for calculating
building height as set forth in Municipal Code Sections 17.04.040 and 17.46.015, grade
used for height measurements is based on the surveyed elevation points at the property
corners. However, the Planning Commission may consider other points along the
property line for lots with “convex” contours. In these situations, the grade of a lot may
be based on a detailed topographical survey along the property line with spot elevations
called out at a minimum of two (2) foot intervals in addition to property corner points. A
finding that a convex slope exists allows use of alternate points if the evidence supports
that grades at the top of the convex slope represent natural or unaltered grades.

Dear Council Members,
I am unable to attend tonight’s meeting, but I wanted to request that you table discussions on major
infrastructure improvements such as the proposed sewer project and associated taxes until after the
March 5 election. At that time, the city will have real information about whether or not a tax is
required. Also, as we discussed during the Decision Tool process, it would be good to look at all the
improvements as a whole and figure out the best use of our money. I would hate to see us repeat the
actions that Manhattan Beach is taking, i.e., digging up Sepulveda to replace infrastructure just after
repaving the road.
Thank you,

From: Howard Longacre, a Hermosa Beach Resident
Re: Calling for the "tabling" of discussion of sewer fees/taxes until after the oil election
due to concerns that discussing new fees, and/or taxes are inappropriate/biased during the
run-up to the March 3 Oil Drilling election, and unfortunately are just further fueling
divisions among the city residents, the City Council, and the City Staff when all emphasis
should be on carrying out the ongoing city business and getting the oil ballot measure
settled via the election, which is to be in a little over five months.
Att: Minutes of the June 28, 1994 Hermosa Beach City Council Meeting
Honorable Councilmembers and others:
The following are my views, opinions, and concerns on the subject meeting's "Sewers
Study Session".
________________________________________________________________
Somehow it seems as though the City Council does not get it, that discussing anything that
leads to the appearance the City is in dire financial straits, and/or that city infrastructure is
catastrophically and suddenly in a seriously failing condition is inappropriate at this time.
Such is not only not true but apparently designed to muddy the waters before the soon to
be oil election.
Or is it that there's a majority on Council and/or others both inside and outside of
government who desire to trump-up such unwarranted/premature concerns for selfish
propaganda purposes vis-a-vie the upcoming oil election, which by the way is to occur in a
mere 23 weeks (on March 3) from this very study session.
It seems most apparent what is taking place and absolutely no one is fooled.
The most appropriate thing to do with this item, once again, would be to table the matter,
notwithstanding you have a consultant and city staff present. Simply cancel the study
Supplemental from H. Longacre to the September 23, 2014 5-PM Hermosa City Council Sewers Study Session.
Page 2 of 11
session, use the time to individually have dinner, rest up, and study further your regular 7
PM meeting's agenda.
With respect to the sewer discussion item, clearly there is no life and death situation
involved. If you want to discuss a life and death situation the Council should be having a
study session about the fact that there is no coherent plan whatever for a sensible
business mix or development standards in the lower downtown.
You should be more-importantly having a discussion regarding the fact that the downtown
has become the biggest most potent alcoholics manufacturing district in the South Bay.
You should be discussing how filling up young visitors with hard liquor, night after night, is
leading to rapes, drunk driving, serious health issues for many as a result of what Hermosa
Beach Councils have been facilitating through the over-consumption of booze, literally
morning, noon, night, and late night, and how such liquor-serving-facilitation is leading to
social crime which is hidden from view, much as you say the sewers are hidden from view.
I've followed Hermosa City Council actions for over 35 years and I can tell you this sewer
discussion never changes. It's a kind of a red herring. Sewers in all built-out cities are
aging, and incrementally being patched on a regular basis. Sewers are not rocket science.
The City has video of all the sewers. The city has been repairing them incrementally for
the last 35 years and will continue to.
The problem is that councils of the past have had their own agendas to spend money on
other things.
Former City Manager Burrell was a master at not spending money except for things that
kept him in office through keeping councilmembers in office. It's just politics, pure politics.
These scams about creating new fees all the time are all about freeing up money you
already have so councilmembers can use that money to build out their pet projects and
keep themselves in office and able to grandstand.
The same thing occurs at the County, State, and Federal level.
In the past two years so much money has been blown away on consultants it's absolutely
nauseating. The money expended on the Roma Design consultants for the "downtown
core", now focusing only on the downtown might just as well been thrown into a bonfire to
roast marshmallows over. What a waste of money! The council and City Manager literally
threw that money, that came from taxpayers' wallets, down the proverbial rat hole.
Back in 1994 the sewer discussion was as lively as ever, after Burrell came to town and
noticed the money building up in what I always referred to as the "sewer slush fund",
because he seemed to be dipping into it to pay for anything in city he wanted to.
Here's a clip from the minutes of the June 28, 1994 meeting of over 20 years ago, during
the budget adoption item 4(a). I remember it as if it were yesterday.
Supplemental from H. Longacre to the September 23, 2014 5-PM Hermosa City Council Sewers Study Session.
Page 3 of 11
Finance Director Viki Copeland responded to Council questions and said that the
amount from the 6 percent Utility User Tax that went to the General Fund was
648,000 for funding one Police Officer, the downtown foot patrol, bootleg
enforcement and other items and that 800,000 went into the Sewer Fund. Ms.
Copeland said that both amounts were approximately the same as last year.
Note: See the attachment for the entire minutes of the June 28, 1994 meeting. You will
notice that under Citizen Comments at the top, resident Parker Herriott was inquiring about
one of the bars, and the "Ironman". And that also, Ed Lee (since then of Bell, CA infamy)
was serving as city attorney at the meeting. You can note rapidly by reading old minutes,
that nothing changes in this town, just the cast of characters and players, ever so slowly.
You can see that at the time Burrell and the City Council were already spending the UUT
on things other than its original intent, that original intent being primarily sewer repair, a
small foot patrol downtown, and school crossing guards.
At that time the UUT had never been voted by the people. The 2007 vote by the people
was a scam in virtually every respect, lowering the UUT to 5.5% on Telephone and adding
a whole bunch of additional technology taxing, while keeping it at 6% on Water, Electricity,
and Gas service. There was much more in that measure, making it a scam pure and
simple to make sure the UUT kept bringing in what at the time was over $2.6 million
annually. Back in 1994 it was perhaps bringing in just-under $2 million annually.
Had the city spent $800 thousand each and every year for sewer repairs over the last 20
years that would have been $16 million in repairs. Burrell and past councils did not and it
just goes to show you the way government works. Council sets up a tax saying it will be
used for this or that, and then do whatever they damn well please. Reminds me of another
scam Hermosa Beach tax, the "Fire Flow Fee".
The honorable thing for the council to do is to table this matter too until after the March
election when you will then know what path you really need to take and have many more
facts and figures available to make a real informed decision rather than another ad hoc,
thoughtless decision.
In the meantime you should of course continue having Public Works repair sewers as they
have been doing of recent years as budgeted.

THIS PLANNED SEWER DISCUSSION STINKS
City Council Members and staff:
I would be there in person to speak to this issue if I could, for a supplemental is a poor substitution for
expressing how strongly I feel about the inappropriate timing and sense of manipulated context in which
the discussion of the sewer issue is occurring.
Your staff report gives the false impression that the topic of finding solutions to needed capital
improvements for sewers just suddenly came to fore in June of this year. Yet the issue has a very long
history which is missing in your report and it clearly hampers your ability to make a sound decision on any
action you might take.
Previous City Councils have acted in various ways to address this problem. In fact, the Utility User Tax
enacted in July 1998 was sold to the voting public as a “sewer tax,” which was the primary reason it was
approved. Unfortunately, as written, it gave both the City Manager and City Councils complete latitude in
spending this money. Today, the city is paying the price for too many years of under-investing in the level
of rehabilitation required. The City was not alone in this; other cities and the state have habitually under
invested in needed infrastructure over the years.
The Utility User Tax is absolutely sufficient as a mechanism for bringing sewers up to the level needed for
annex by the County – if it is allocated properly. It won’t happen overnight, nor does it need to. Increasing
expenditures to sewers was the direction of the City Council only a few years past. What has been spent
by the current administration, while increased, has still not been enough. If this City Council really wants
to get serious about addressing the community’s infrastructure needs, perhaps you’ll give residents the
same options other cities have afforded by allowing voters to decide if they would like to increase a too-
low Transit Occupancy Tax, rather than threatening to take it by double dipping into the pockets of
Hermosa residents.
The proper action City Council should take?
Stay the course of increased allocations to sewer repairs and suspend any presentation on adding a tax
on top of an existing tax to pay for an immediate overhaul of our sewers. To conduct such a discussion in
the midst of the oil drilling proposal and an eminent vote is irresponsible and a disservice to the general
public.
Tying the two together – oil drilling and infrastructure – is already being used as a fear-mongering ploy
and I am greatly disappointed the City Council has allowed the discussion to go so far.
April of 2016 is a perfect time to conduct such a discussion when the course of our city going forward will
be set. Put it on the April calendar now. In the meantime, please stay the course you are on. It’s the
responsible thing to do and save the discussion for later.
Table this discussion.
Thank you for your consideration

Subject: Letter for the Agenda
Hi, Elaine, haven't done this before but my request is that my letter below be added to the agenda
for the 5:00 pm Tues 9/23 study session discussion of the sewer bond issue. Hope it's not too
late.
Dear Council Members: It is known that members of KHH/Stop Oil are applying heavy lobbying
pressure on all of you to once again table an important discussion of a most important issue in
Hermosa Beach. Shall the city borrow $11 million to pay for sewer work and raise taxes to
payoff the debt? It is also known that former councilmember and mayor Michael Keegan is
weighing in on this hoping to browbeat the council into suppressing any discussion until after the
March election. One would hope and expect that as a former elected official, Mr Keegan would
know better and have more respect for the democratic process and open debate.
Two weeks ago, then Councilmember Barragan (now mayor pro-tem) with support from then
Councilmember Tucker, (now mayor) and Councilmember Fangary used a parliamentary
procedural maneuver to suppress discussion of whether it would be appropriate to increase taxes
to pay the $17.5 million penalty if the oil project is defeated.
This is outrageous behavior. Is this an example of the transparency the council claims it strives
for? How can a responsible elected official live up to their oath of office while actively
attempting to squelch public discourse on an issue of supreme importance to all citizens of
Hermosa Beach? Is the Barragan/Tucker/Fangary triad modeling their behavior on their favorite
tin-horn dictator? Who, exactly, are they serving? Clearly not the voters who elected them.
Council, do your duty, live up to your oath, do the hard work, put the difficult issues up for open,
vigorous, public debate. If you are not willing to do this resign your office and step aside for
someone who has the integrity and courage to do the right thing.

Subject: supplemental for council agenda tonight- please add
Dear City Council:
I think adding a sewer tax discussion during the most heated city vote in 25 years is very
bias. The issue of a tax for sewer repairs was discuss by a council I sat on in 2006 and was
discussed in every subsequent year. If we are going to vote for a sewer tax, then lets have a
public hearing discussing all revenue enhancement ideas and get a pulse for the appetite for
taxes. Do that in April of next year. I think at a minimum, the discussion should include sewer
fees, hotel transient taxes (Redondo Beach collects 2% more than Hermosa Beach), business
license fees (in Hermosa Beach, a business like the one I own - Manhattan Bread & Bagel would
pay $197.00 per year in business license fees. In Manhattan Beach, its based on gross sales and I
pay over $4,000-- over 2000% higher fee), single family and multi-family overnight rental bed
tax(VRBO, Airb&b etc- Manhattan beach collects over $300,000 per year via personal homes
and rentals).
To discuss a sewer tax while in the midst of a huge vote on oil drilling and exploration works in
favor of E & B Oil Drilling and their promises of riches to the city, mineral right owners and the
school district if we turn into an oil drilling community.
You play into their hands by asking for a tax increase during an emotional election season. Is the
goal of the city manager and city council to drill for oil? If you keep discussing sewers and
disrepair's over the next few months you play into the oil companies campaign strategy. Is that
your intention? E $ B promises riches to pay for sewers, under-grounding of utilities, millions for
maintenance of beaches, policing costs, new city hall, new fire station, new police department
building, a new community center, renovate every park & ball-field, a swimming pool etc. Did I
miss anything? Promises, nothing in writing.
On the terrible state of the sewers I was able to flush with great success this morning and without
the aid of E & B Oil Drilling. What next, E & B will promise to wipe my ass and yours for the
next 35 years.

City of Hermosa Beach
Summary Report
I. Introduction
Scope of Services
Task 1 – Sewer Service Charge Formula
We will take the Sewer Service Charge Formula as described in our May 22, 2014 report and
further develop the Commercial / Industrial component. Standard consumption will be reviewed for this land use and actual consumption based upon water usage will also be reviewed. A range
of Sewer Service Charge Rates will be developed that cover operation and maintenance cost plus
a component for CIP maintenance projects. Bond servicing amounts will be provided by the City.
Scheduling and timing of sewer improvements will be reviewed.
Task 2 – Storm Drainage Fee ReviewWe will determine and prepare a description of the formation process for a Storm Drainage Fee. Also, other cities in the South Bay area will be reviewed for what drainage fees they may have.
Task 3 – Storm Drainage Fee Formula
A formula will be drafted for a Storm Drainage Fee and applied to the City’s data based on what
has already been provided to PENCO by the City. A chart of rates versus revenue will be prepared.
Various scenarios will be determined for the cost of operation and maintenance, and a component for Storm Drain CIP will be shown.
Task 4 – Summary Report
PENCO will attend three (3) meetings with staff and one (1) Council meeting (first meeting in
September-September 9, 2014).

II. Task 1 Results – Sewer Service Charge Formula
We have received water consumption values for all Hermosa Beach from California Water Service
Company for 2013. We have added up all the water consumption for Commercial / Industrial
parcels. We found that this equals 203,955 Hundred Cubic Feet (HCF) for the year.
We kept the residential charges as per our previous report using the West Hollywood formula and
only redid the fees on water consumption for Commercial / Industrial parcels.
Presented here are seven sample calculations locations provided by staff and a map is in the Appendix:
Total Revenue Generated → $222,776.30 (West Hollywood Formula @ $50 per Sewer Unit)
Total Commercial HCF’s → 203,955 HCF’s
Fee Rate → Total Revenue Generated ÷ Total Commercial HCF’s
Fee Rate → $222,776.30 ÷ 203,955HCF’s = $1.0923 Per HCF
Example 1: 1100 PCH – Ralph’s West Hollywood Formula: 22.9 X $50 = $1,145.00
995 HCF Total Yearly Usage @ $1.0923 per HCF = $1,086.84
Example 2: 1016 The Strand – Sea Sprite Hotel
West Hollywood Formula: 8.17 X $50= $408.50
333 HCF Total Yearly Usage @ $1.0923 per HCF = $363.74
Example 3: 1300 The Strand – The Beach House West Hollywood Formula: 46.15 x $50 = $2,307.50
6144 HCF Total Yearly Usage @ $1.0923 per HCF = $6,711.09
Example 4: 1530~1550 Pacific Coast Highway – Hampton Inn
West Hollywood Formula: 35.58 x $50 = $1,779.00 2068 HCF Total Yearly Usage @ $1.0923 per HCF = $2,258.88
Example 5: 901 Aviation Blvd – Quality Inn
West Hollywood Formula: 32.69 x $50 = $1,634.50
4260 HCF Total Yearly Usage @ $1.0923 per HCF = $4,653.20
Example 6: 2515 Pacific Coast Highway – Hermosa Hotel West Hollywood Formula: 38.46 x $50 = $1,923.00
3822 HCF Total Yearly Usage @ $1.0923 per HCF = $4,174.77

The Pros and Cons of this method are as follows:
1) More accurate.
2) More difficult to administer.
3) Fluctuates with water conservation once the rate is set.
4) To place on the property tax bill requires an annual calculation.
Sewer Service Charge Including Operation and Maintenance plus Capital Improvements
The budgeted cost for the City to maintain their own sewers is $339,454 for Fiscal Year 2014-
2015. It is estimated that sewer Capital Improvements are needed at $11 Million.
NHA Advisors were retained to put together a financing plan for the needed Capital Improvements
– that report is included in the Appendix. A key assumption was that the improvements would take
five years to complete and two series of bonds would be issued, one in the Spring of 2015 and the
other in Spring of 2018. $5.5 Million each.
It was previously determined, if the City levied their own charge of $31.75/year/single family home, it would generate $339,454 for the City of Hermosa Beach.
For the first bond series, the annual debt service would be approximately $425,000/year.
The City would need $764,454/year for operation and maintenance plus the first series of bonds
debt service requirement. The needed charge to be levied for a single family home would be
approximately $71.50/year.
The combined debt service for both bonds would be approximately $900,000/year and with
operation and maintenance included the total would be $1,239,454/year. The needed charge to
be levied for a single family home would be approximately $116/year.

II. Task 2 Results – Storm Drainage Fee Review
Authority
The California Health and Safety Code Section 5471 and California Government Code Section
54344 allows charges and collecting fees and charges providing service to users in a City to
operate and maintain storm water systems. The fees collected can be used for operation and
maintenance of storm water systems and meeting bond rate covenant requirements for storm
water improvements.
Establishment
As establishment of a storm water fee per the authority above shall follow the requirements of
Proposition 218. The basic steps are as follows:
1) City Council orders a storm water fee rate report. The fee will be calculated and is based upon a characteristic of the property, such as the size of the parcel or the use to which the property is put to use. The fee to each parcel should be calculated either individually or by
reference to a formula or schedule.
2) The City Council accepts the storm water fee rate report and sets a public hearing on the
proposed fee.
3) The City shall provide a written notice by mail of the proposed fee or charge to the record
owner of each identified parcels. The date of the hearing must be at least 45 days after the
mailing.
4) Concluding the hearing, the City must consider all protests against the proposed fee or
charge but only written protests are counted. If written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented by a majority of owners of the identified parcels, the city shall not impose the fee or charge.
5) The City then may conduct a mailed ballot special election.
6) Prior to creating the storm drain fee the City must hold a public hearing and receive approval
from a majority of the affected property owners casting a ballot. All owners of property within the fee district must be mailed a detailed notice of public hearing and a ballot with which to
voice their approval or disapproval of the proposed district at least 45 days prior to the hearing
(Section 4(e), Article XIII D, California Constitution). The notice must contain: the total amount
of money chargeable to the fee district, the amount chargeable to each parcel in the district,
the duration of the payments, the reason for the fee, the basis upon which the proposed fee
was calculated, and a summary of the ballot procedure, as well as the date, time, and location of the public hearing. The notice must also disclose that a majority protest will result in the fee not being imposed.
City of Hermosa Beach - Sewer Service Charge Formula / Storm Drainage Fee Analysis September 23, 2014 | Page 7
At the hearing, the City must consider all protests to formation of the district. Fee district
proceedings must be abandoned if a majority of the ballots received by the conclusion of the hearing protest creation of the district. Ballots are to be weighted according to the proportional
financial obligation of the affected property - the larger the financial obligation, the greater the
weight that must be assigned to that property. The City cannot overrule the property owner
vote. No other form of election is required. Once a fee is created, it may be repealed or
reduced by popular initiative.
Other Agencies
Los Angeles County
Santa Clarita
The City of Santa Clarita began collecting an annual Stormwater Pollution Prevention Fee in 1992.
The fee, which is paid by all property owners in the City, pays for maintenance and replacement of
storm drain facilities, as well as permit-required inspection, monitoring, and enforcement activities, and other costs of complying with the federal Clean Water Act and the NPDES Permit.
In 2009, the City held a Mailed Ballot Special Election process to raise the fee. Pursuant to City
Ordinance, the City annually holds a public meeting or hearing in which oral and written comments
may be given regarding the Fee, and then City Council determines the fee amount, subject to a
fee maximum authorized by the Ordinance.
The fee is based on a median single-family residential parcel size of 7,000 square feet (0.16 acre).
The equivalent residential unit (ERU) is equal to the runoff from a 0.16-acre parcel. {(0.16 acres
of area) x 42% = 0.0672 Drainage Units= 1 ERU}. For FY 2013-14, the City took the estimated
annual costs for proposed storm drain improvements ($3,067,659) and divided that by the number
of ERUs in the City to derive the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Fee of $22.45 per ERU. The City
has an appeals process owners can use if they disagree with the calculation of their fees based on parcel area and estimated impervious percentage assigned to the property.
City of Santa Monica
The City of Santa Monica has two stormwater parcel fees that are paid annually by all property
owners. The Stormwater User Fee is a flat fee that was passed in 1995 and is based on property
size and land use type- The Clean Beaches & Ocean Parcel Tax (Measure V) was passed in
November 2006 by over two-thirds of voters and is used exclusively to fund implementation of the City’s Watershed Management Plan. These fees are assessed through property taxes and
together generate approximately $3.9 million annually (approximately 73% comes from Measure
V, which was subject to Proposition 218 election rules).
City of Signal Hill
Following the adoption of the los Angeles River Trash TMDL, the City of Signal Hill in 2004 used the Proposition 218 protest vote process to pass an NPDES Trash Fee for Refuse, Litter and Debris Removal. Since the Trash TMDL received a great deal of publicity, and approximately 1.1 square
miles of the City drain ultimately to the LA River the City was able to adopt a flat assessment of 5.6%
of refuse bills to fund activities to meet trash-related TMDL and NPDES program requirements.
This fee, which covers approximately 30% of the City’s stormwater program, is an example of
using specific fees to fund specific portions of stormwater quality programs.
City of Hermosa Beach - Sewer Service Charge Formula / Storm Drainage Fee Analysis September 23, 2014 | Page 8
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes passed a fee ordinance in 2005 with a 30-year sunset clause. Two years later, a measure passed that reduced the sunset clause to 10 years. The first year the
fee was collected, FY 2006-07, the fee was $86 per equivalent residential unit, which was derived
by a formula involving parcel area and impervious percentage. The fee has been increased by 2%
each subsequent fiscal year except one. The fee will now expire in 2016, and the City does not
plan to pursue another fee.
Orange CountyCity of San Clemente
Property owners in the City of San Clemente passed a Clean Ocean Fee in 2002 that was to be
in effect through December 31, 2007. In June 2007, staff began a mail ballot election process to
determine whether or not the fee would be continued. The City was able to propose continuing
the fee at existing levels because of success in obtaining grant funds to leverage fee revenues
collected. The election was well publicized, and a community group was formed to campaign for passage of the Clean Ocean Fee continuation. Local media coverage was favorable, and focused on the fact that, because of the fee, significant amounts of trash had been prevented from
reaching the beaches of San Clemente. If the continuation did not pass, one op-ed writer wrote,
“The final result would be both a reduction in water quality of our beaches and a reduction in the
level of services the city provides to its residents.” In the mail-in ballot vote, 75% of ballots returned
were in favor of continuation of the Clean Ocean fee for another six years.
In late 2013, City Council pursued a continuation of the fee, which was scheduled to expire at the
end of the year. In a December 2013 vote, property owners narrowly voted to renew the fee. The
vote was extremely close; in fact, the City Clerk initially announced that property owners who had
returned ballots had rejected the renewal by a vote of 6,094 to 5,709. Subsequently, however,
the result of the election was certified as 5,005.36 (52.97%) in favor of fee renewal and 4,443.68
(47.03%) against. The change was due to a rule that votes of timeshare units are valued at 1/50 of a vote.
The vote also approved the first fee increase in the Clean Ocean Fee’s history. The fee for single-
family residences (on public streets) increased to $6.23 per month from $5.02 per month. The
rate for residences on private streets is lower because these streets do not require sweeping by
the City. There are higher rates for commercial, industrial, and business park sites. The fee will be
valid for six years; the next renewal vote will be at the end of 2019.
Orange County Transportation Authority
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) incorporated stormwater funding into the
renewal of its transportation improvements funding measure. In 1990, Orange County voters
approved Measure M, a 20-year program for local transportation improvements funding by half-
cent sales tax. In 2006, Orange County voters approved continuation of Measure M for another 30 years, extending the end date of the sales tax from 2011 to 2041. The renewed Measure M, now called the program M2, contains a water quality and environmental cleanup program. Under this
program, 2% of gross revenues (estimated at $327 million over 30 years) will be set aside to help
Orange County municipalities improve water quality.
City of Hermosa Beach - Sewer Service Charge Formula / Storm Drainage Fee Analysis September 23, 2014 | Page 9
The environmental cleanup monies may be used for water quality improvements with a
transportation nexus, including capital and operations improvements. This program is intended to augment, not replace, existing water quality expenditures. In addition, all new transportation
projects funded by Measure M will include water quality mitigation as part of the project scope and
costs (i.e., this will not be funded through the 2% set aside for water quality).

II. Task 3 Results – Storm Drainage Fee Formula
After discussion with City staff, it was agreed for the purposes of this study that we would follow the same method for the City’s fee formula as was done for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District Clean Water Fee.
This method uses the impervious area of each parcel in the City and prorates the City’s Storm
Drain budget to be generated by the fee, to each parcel.
The lot size for each parcel in the City was provided by the City’s database previously provided.
The impervious area for each parcel was calculated by using impervious percentage factors from
the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Hydrology Manual, January 2006.
From these calculations the total applied impervious area can be determined. The ratio of our
storm drain budget to be generated by the fee over the total applied impervious area as compared to a parcel individual impervious area will determine a parcel’s individual fee.
Please see the Appendix for the City’s Storm Drain Budget for FY 2013-14.
Sample calculations are completed for a single family home with a parcel size of 2,500 square feet
set at $50 a year and $75 a year. Revenues generated for multiple fee rates for a 2,500 square
foot single-family residence and a 5,000 square foot residence is also shown. These are shown on the following page.

Date: September 15, 2014
RE: City of Hermosa Beach – Sewer Funding Analysis Memo
Overview
The City of Hermosa Beach (the “City”) engaged the services of NHA Advisors (“NHA”) to evaluate and
develop a financing plan for the purpose of funding capital improvements throughout the City’s sewer
collection system. Based on recent conversations with City staff, we understand that there is a need to
fund approximately $11 million of improvements over the next five years. This work is being done as
part of a Proposition 218 process to establish a new sewer rate structure.
Funding Options
As part of our review, NHA looked at the potential for funding these improvements through a public
offering with an underwriter or through a private placement with a bank. Our initial review indicated
that the relatively short term required by banks (15 to 20 years) would result in significantly higher
annual debt service payments than could be achieved through a 30‐year public offering, which would
put unnecessary pressure on sewer rates and ratepayers. Conversely, it was determined that a 30‐year
public offering would come with significantly lower annual debt service payments, and therefore, would
be much more palatable for ratepayers. As a result, it was determined that a 30‐year public offering
would be the best financing structure moving forward.
Assumptions
Through our discussions with City staff, it was determined that the full $11 million of capital
improvements would take approximately five years to complete. However, federal guidelines require a
reasonable expectation that bond proceeds will be spent within three years. As a result, our analysis
assumes that the City would issue two series of bonds.
Given that the two series of bonds are not expected to be issued until Spring 2015 and Spring 2018, our
analysis uses what we believe are conservative assumptions based on current market rates, typical
transaction costs, and maximum reserve fund requirements. Summaries of these assumptions and the
results of our analysis are provided below.

This is my City (August 18 – August 22, 2014) “How do I want Hermosa Beach to look 15 years from now” This week long exploration of Hermosa Beach is your opportunity to learn all about your city and what makes it work. You will meet members of the City Council, the City Manager, many of the city staff members, city planners, and officers of the city Historical Society. You will also have a chance to explore the city by making a number of very exciting local field trips. Participants from last year’s camp are welcome so that they may continue their experience of getting to know the city and make important and meaningful changes. AND, you will be invited to come to the Hermosa Beach City Council to let them know what you have learned during this week and any suggestions you have for the Council Members. This is your chance to make Hermosa Beach a better place! The kids will have a weeklong session (mornings only) for the kids grades 5-8 • Day One: Meet with Howard Fishman and Joe Mark to get integrated into the camp and to set goals for their week. The kids will also meet with Pete Hoffman so that they can learn about City Planning. We will have Leadership Hermosa as well. Hopefully one of the members will mentor the kids so that there will be an on-going relationship with them throughout the year.
• Day Two: This day is Tom Bakaly’s day. The kid’s will visit City Hall, meet some of the City Council Members, visit the Historical Society, etc.
• Day Three: This day is Earth Day. The instructors are Joe Galliani, Dency Nelson and Jeff Duclos. This is a field trip day to the beach, the electric pumping stations, visit a solar heated home, etc. How to create a solar grid in Hermosa Beach
• Day Four: Bike Day. Julian and Jim Hannon. Perhaps Brian Marcotte from Titan Oil. And the West Water Basin will come and introduce them to planting eco friendly plants and any other issues that may affect our environment.
• Day Five: Wrap up day. The kids will have a chance to talk with Kevin Cody and create a journal that they can share with the City Council. This year our aim is to have one of the campers attend City Council meetings so that he/she can report the events of the Council Meetings in the School Newspaper. We would also encourage the kids to develop their own voice about the choices for this coming election on oil. Chief Lantzer will come and teach the kids about the fire department, issues of first and bring a Paramedic with him. And, Brian Cooley or someone else who has built a new and innovative business in HB will talk about what it is like to create a new venture here.
The instructors are: Tom Bakaly Kevin Cody Brian Cooley Michael Di Virgillio Jeff Duclos Howard Fishman Joe Galliani
