Background/Analysis: The City and the School District are considering a cooperative agreement to share resources in order to address the need for “Before”and “After School”Programs for students living within the City of Hermosa Beach. The proposed program under the Agreement will be named the “Hermosa Beach Youth Enrichment Program” (HBYEP).

Recommended Action: Staff recommends that City Council and the Hermosa Beach City School District support staff recommendation to conduct a city wide traffic study. Summary: For many years there has been a trend of increased traffic throughout the city at all times of day. Among other considerations contributing to this trend is an increase in the number of residents who no longer commute to work outside of the city during traditional 9-5 hours and work irregular hours from their homes. Traffic from the egress and ingress to commercial centers, recreation areas, shops, beach access and schools have negatively impacted and become a potential safety threat to pedestrians of all ages. Since 2012, the Hermosa Beach School District has been studying the reopening of the district’s North School Campus to alleviate overcrowding at Valley and View schools and the associated traffic. Several joint Council/Board meetings have been held to discuss this issue. In November 2014, Measure Q was placed before the voters asking them to approve a bond to fund the modernization or new construction and aging infrastructure of the district’s schools. The measure did not pass the super majority of 55% and fell short by 32 votes. Shortly after the November election, the Board ordered a post-election poll to identify the voter arguments against Measure Q that needed to be mitigated prior to placing a future bond before the voters. These variables were traffic flow, Valley Park, parking, building design/placement, cost, Hermosa Beach Printed on 4/23/2015Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:REPORT 15-0344 grade level configuration, and other. On March 25, 2015, the Board conducted an Envisioning Workshop where 100 residents participated in “creative chaos” to provide input on how these variables might be mitigated. There were 7 criteria listed under the variable of Traffic Flow each falling under the city’s jurisdiction. Analysis: A joint traffic study between the City and the District is an important component of the development of the City’s Strategic Plan and the implementation of the District’s Long Range Facilities Master Plan. Fiscal Implications: Pricing needs to be established. Approved by: Tom Bakaly, City Manager Pat Escalante, Superintendent, HBCSD Hermosa Beach Printed on 4/23/2015Page 2 of 2 powered by Legistar™
