CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE INFORMATION
Watershed Advisory Council of Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission
The Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission was established by the California
Legislature in 2002 to monitor, assess, coordinate and advise the activities of state
programs, and to oversee funding that affects the beneficial uses, restoration and
enhancement of Santa Monica Bay and its watersheds.
The Watershed Advisory Council serves as an advisory body to the Governing Board of
the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission. Representatives serving on the
Council include local, state and federal elected officials, public agencies responsible for
protecting the resources and water quality of the Bay, the business community, along
with environmental and other community groups.
The Watershed Advisory Council meetings take place in the afternoon (usually 1-4 p.m.)
at least once per year, as called (usually February, March or April), at Dockweiler Youth
Center, 12505 Vista del Mar, Los Angeles.
Independent Cities Association
The ICA was established by full-service cities (those with their own police/fire services)
to represent their interests – to educate and advocate for member cities in the Los
Angeles region on shared issues to preserve and enhance local government.
There are two annual seminars for delegates – in 2014, the winter one took place in
Santa Barbara in February, and the summer one took place in Rancho Bernardo in July.
(Board members typically have evening meetings on the second Thursday of each
month at the Metropolitan Water District Building, 700 Alameda Street, Los Angeles)
Independent Cities Risk Management Association
The ICRMA specializes in loss-preventive risk control programs and opportunities to
reduce the costs of municipal risk management. At the last Committee reorganization,
the Council appointed staff members to serve as delegate and alternate (as many other
member cities have done), since specific risk management expertise is desirable and
meetings occur during the day. The Joint Powers Agreement allows but does not
require a member of the Council to represent the City on the ICRMA Governing Board.
League of California Cities – L.A. County Division
The League’s mission is to expand and protect local control for cities through education
and advocacy to enhance quality of life for all Californians. The Board of Directors is
responsible for the overall supervision, control and direction of the League.
Page 2 of 3
The Los Angeles County Division, which provides members with the opportunity to
exchange ideas/information and share the advantages of cooperative advocacy, holds
general membership meetings on the first Thursday during the months of January,
March and May, with a reception at 6 p.m. followed by the program at 6:30 or 6:45 p.m.
Locations may vary, but usually take place at Luminarias Restaurant in Monterey Park.
Any Division member may also apply for a one-year appointment to one of eight policy
committees, meeting a maximum of four times per year, to help set League priorities
and policies. Additional events include the League’s annual conference in September.
Los Angeles County/City Selection Committee
This organization is comprised of mayors of Los Angeles County cities. Its function is to
appoint city representatives to Boards/Commission/Agencies (as required by law) such
as South Coast Air Quality Management District, LAFCO, L.A. City Hazardous Waste
Management Advisory Committee, L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority,
and to nominate for appointment members to the California Coastal Commission.
Meetings take place as called. Unlike other committees that have both an assigned
delegate and alternate, the mayor must separately appoint an alternate to attend each
meeting that he or she is unable to attend.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority/City Selection Committee
The MTA is charged with conducting hearings and setting fares for established
operating organizational units and the approval of transportation zones, final rail corridor
selections, and approval of contracts for construction and transit equipment acquisition.
The 14-member agency (which meets at 9:30 a.m. on the 4th Thursday of the month at
the MTA, One Gateway Plaza, 3rd floor, L.A.) includes four city councilmembers.
Each city within four sectors of the County (defined by the League of California Cities,
L.A. County Division), may vote to nominate one or more candidates from that particular
sector for consideration for appointment to the MTA by the L.A. County City Selection
Committee (see above). This committee meets on an “on called” basis.
South Bay Cities Council of Governments and Steering Committee
The SBCCOG is a joint powers authority of 16 cities and L.A. County of that provides a
forum for local government efforts to work collaboratively on programs and studies
directed at improving the environment, preserving natural resources, advocating for
regional efforts to expand transportation alternatives, and increasing awareness for

Subject: Letter for inclusion in city council meeting August 25
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2015 11:16:52 -0700
City Manager and City Council Members,
Per the city attorney, this letter is to serve as written communication to be added to the coming
city hall meeting agenda for August 25th. It is submitted within the time constraints to be
added to the agenda for reading and discussion on Aug. 25th.
Regardless of whether equipment has been ordered or delivered (If ordered, what date
ordered?), This is my third public attempt since May/June to Request re-opening discussion of
HBPD shooting /gun range for the following reasons:
1) Location: Library and kitty corner to a middle school. Middle school kids when polled were
vehemently opposed to a shooting range next to where they walk to and from school everyday.
Another location is preferred. Did a notification of a gun range letter go out to the parents of
the middle school children?
2) Financial - Need a Financial impact study to evaluate cost to own versus cost to share with
existing neighbor facility at MBPD.
What is cost to share liability insurance and range with MBPD versus cost to harbor
entire 100% liability on city of HB.
What is the total cost of the facility?
What is the cost of liability insurance per year if we own 100% of risk?
Cost of lead disposal?
Who is responsible if lead not disposed of properly? How much is RB facility being fined
by CA State?
What is our risk assessment if fined? City Pays? Residents pay?
What is the cost of liability to share with MBPD facility?
Detail line by line cost to own versus cost to share existing facility.
Important to note sharing between HBPD and MBPD already occurs in the sharing of one call
center.
3) Liability cost.
What is the proposed liability annual insurance premium cost?
What is the maximum liability coverage cap?
Who foots bill when cap exceeded?
3) Notice needs to be mailed. Most residents, when polled, where unaware of the proposal.
Only those who read the newspaper article knew. No one was informed directly from the city.
Unlike the letter that went out of HBPD informing of the $2100 fine for parties on July 4th,
there was *no* mailing about a gun range. There should be. It is of equal or greater
importance, if not more, as it effects all of us with potential liability impact.
4) Environmental Impact - Air quality and noise given **location/proximity to residential**
which is not in eval from manufacturer. To date, the only information has come from the
manufacturer. No other cities who have purchased equipment have been contacted,
investigated, provided fact finding. If you use city funds, there is an ethical obligation to
evaluate large purchases with independent study/other consumers/due diligence. Why wasn't
this done and shared with city residents?
Similar to when you buy a car, you test drive it first? check consumer reviews? That's for a
purchase of $30K, we are talking closer to 600K purchase. So why wasn't this study performed
and presented? You never rely solely on a manufacturer sales/promotional material.
Westminster voted to turn down proposal for similar gun range. Why? Residential property
proximity?What do independent studies of same equipment say about proximity to residential?
What other cities who bought one?
Lets do our due diligence to evaluate expenditure from another city with same type of
facility to fact find costs, liablity, air, noise issues and any law suits they may have
incurred. Let's read their independent reviews from the other cities who purchased.
pros/cons/ costs and** best location** for residents whom the HBPD serves.
Let's assess risk, liability, costs - OPENLY and THOROUGHLY to make the best informed decision.
WE HAVE A RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW.
Best,
Cassandra Bates

HERMOSA BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT
Office of the Chief of Police
MEMORANDUM
DATE:AUGUST 31, 2015
TO:HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CHIEF SHARON PAPA
RE: RESPONSE TO A LETTER RECEIVED RAISING CONCERNS
REGARDING THE FORCE OPTIONS SIMULATOR/RANGE
The city council received a letter from Cassandra Bates on August 18, 2015. In the letter
Ms. Bates asks a series of questions. Some of the questions were previously addressed
with Ms. Bates by Sgt. Higgins. This memorandum is a response to the questions Ms.
Bates raises.
1. Location/Structure
The new force options simulator/range (FOSR) was installed in a very safe indoor police
facility. The building containing the range is made of concrete. No other local police
department shooting facility offers the level of reinforced armor capable of containing a
.50 caliber machine gun round that this new facility provides. A .50 caliber round is far
more powerful than any firearms used by the police department. Placing the FOSR inside
of the department’s concrete enclosure facility, simply adds another layer of protection
for both safety and sound attenuation. There is no danger to passing pedestrian traffic,
the Library or Valley School. The police department’s former range was located within
the police department building from 1964 to 1990 and was not as technologically
advanced or armor reinforced as the FOSR. When the police department used the former
range, there were no noise or environmental issues and no persons were ever injured.
Sound testing conducted by Siebein Associates Inc., consultants in architectural acoustics,
at the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal range shows an exterior noise measurement 10’
from the midpoint of the range as 70db when discharging a high powered rifle which is
substantially louder than our police weapons. 70db equates to normal conversation at a
distance of 3-5 feet. A telephone dial tone is 80db. Even if sound levels of 70db were
heard outside of the FOSR, the resulting sound level outside of the concrete building
would be significantly less.
Ms. Bates is correct that no letters or notice was sent to the parents of middle school
children (see Notice heading below).
2
2. Financial
Ms. Bates asks about sharing range facilities with the City of Manhattan Beach and states
Hermosa already shares a call center with Manhattan. The call center Ms. Bates refers to
is the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (RCC). RCC is a joint
powers authority (JPA) currently owned by the Cities of Gardena, Hawthorne and
Manhattan Beach while also providing communications services to the cities of El
Segundo and Hermosa Beach under contract. RCC has been in existence since 1977.
Creating a JPA in itself is no small task, finding other cities that are interested in creating
a JPA for a FOSR would be difficult. All other local cities have dedicated ranges and do
not have a need for an additional firearm facility.
The Hermosa Beach Police Department (HBPD) has used several local police department
ranges over the last 9 years. While other agencies have “shared” their facilities with us,
this was done as a favor and simply as a short term arrangement and not something
agencies wished to do on an extended long term basis. Local agencies work to assist and
accommodate one another but no department is willing to provide their facilities in
perpetuity.
The City of Hermosa Beach, like most other cities, is self-insured for $250,000. Any loss
or claim exceeding $250,000 is submitted to our “insurance carrier” (Independent Cities
Risk Management Authority- ICRMA). There is no additional cost to the city for liability
insurance.
The lack of an on-premises firearm training facility has reduced our ability to conduct
consistent timely qualifications, dropping our annual training sessions from four to two
per year. Best practices in law enforcement is 4 training sessions per year. Additionally,
the force options simulator ability of the new facility will allow department personnel to
conduct training more often as opposed to the current training that is conducted every 2
years. The goal of the FOSR is three fold; 1. Officers will increase the number of times
they participate in force option training and firearms qualifications. 2. Officers will be
provided realistic scenario training as well as instructor feedback as to the appropriate
level of force in a particular situation. 3. Better trained officers are more likely to make
better decisions, reduce potential injury to themselves and the public, and ultimately
minimize potential city liability/costs.
Prior to the installation of the FOSR, the department was paying in excess of $12,000.00
in overtime for two firearms qualifications per year. In 2014 the department paid more
than $4,000 in overtime to have officers attend Force Option Simulator training.
Additionally, not having a range available greatly limits training opportunities for new
employees.
Spent bullets (lead) are decelerated in the bullet trap and drop into an attached 2.5 gallon
bucket. The bucket is simply unclipped and replaced with an empty bucket, a lid is
placed on the full bucket and it is picked up by a licensed recycler at no cost to the city.
All air is filtered through a 99.97% HEPA filtration system that removes any particulate
down to .03 microns.
3
Ms. Bates asked about the amount the State of California has fined Redondo Beach; we
have no information as to Redondo Beach being fined by the State of California. As to
her questions regarding potential fines to the City of Hermosa Beach, we would need
more specifics regarding the potential violation to comment as to the amount of any
potential fine.
The cost of the facility is primarily funded by asset forfeiture and grant funds as follows:
Asset Seizure/Forfeiture*$286,886
Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Grant $ 53,793
General Fund $ 40,902
Total:$381,581
* By law, Asset Seizure/Forfeiture funds may only be spent in the following areas:
Law enforcement training
Law enforcement equipment and operations
Law enforcement facilities and equipment
Asset Accounting and Tracking
3. Notice
During the February 24, 2015 City Council meeting, the council approved the 2014-2015
Midyear Budget Additional Appropriations Request of $40,902 (15-0198) from the
General Fund to use for the purchase of the FOSR.
During the Planning Commission’s April 21, 2015 meeting, the commission
recommended approval of the General Plan Amendment and zone change (15-0438) on
two lots, including 1309 Bard Street and adjacent lot (employee parking). A section in the
report from the commission states “As approved and budgeted by the City Council, the
Police Department plans to use the inside of the existing building at 1309 Bard Street,
already being used for police department purposes, for the installation of a modular small
arms training facility.
Chief Papa submitted a report (15-0518) to the City Council on 7/14/15 providing the
background, history, analysis, and fiscal impact of the purchase of the FOSR.
Ms. Bates was concerned that no notice related to the range purchase was mailed to
residents. It has not been the practice of the police department to notice residents when
purchasing equipment. Police management does recognize the environmental and safety
issue raised by Ms. Bates as it relates to the unique purchase of the FOSR. As evidenced
by the above public hearings, the police department did not secretly purchase or install
the FOSR. Police management recognizes the need to ensure transparency and trust with
the citizens we serve and will keep these concerns in mind going forward.
4. Environmental concerns
The FOSR complies with all federal requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH),
and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Several similar training facilities were examined and evaluated for safety, noise, ease of
maintenance, construction, design, and force options simulator integration. Shooting
Range Industries has a 100% guarantee that no bullet can escape their modular range
regardless if fired accidentally or intentionally. This is the one of the main reasons the
Shooting Range Industries (SRI) unit was chosen. Shooting Range Industries has sold and
installed more than 400 of these force options simulator range systems. They are in use
by every branch of the armed services, foreign militaries, and police. The systems are
used by the U.S. Navy, Navy SEALs, Marines, Army, Air Force and National Guard
units, Department of Homeland Security and Department of State. They are also in use
by police departments, crime labs, and commercial shooting ranges and are frequently
installed in private residential homes throughout the country.
Las Vegas Metro PD has their crime lab range inside of their offices. In this particular
instance, crime lab offices are actually located completely around the entire perimeter of
the range. The employees carry out all of their daily work; phone calls etc. while live fire
takes place in a unit similar to HBPD’s. There are 7 systems installed in Bass Pro Shops
(commercial retailer), and customers in those stores shop while walking around and under
the range. This is particularly notable as it relates to the retailer’s level of comfort to both
liability and noise concerns.
Police department employees (one of whom has previously built and managed a private
firearm range) researched, personally met with representatives of SRI, and also inspected
SRI’s manufacturing facility and products. These meetings and additional research
confirmed SRI was the right vendor for the Hermosa Beach Police Department’s FOSR
needs.
It is because of the reasons listed above that Hermosa Beach Police Department requested
the purchase of this proven FOSR system. We appreciate the public’s concern and believe
that by demonstrating the FOSR system during community events (Police Open House,
Community Police Academy, etc.) we will address any remaining concerns.
The FOSR has been installed and preliminary testing revealed that residents living west
of the facility could not/did not hear any noise related to the FOSR despite sustained
discharging of a firearm. Police management understands this information is preliminary,
and as such we will continue to be sensitive to noise concerns and will monitor the issue
moving forward.

o I’ve Got 7 campaign – Commissioner Benson
Commissioner Benson reiterated that the campaign is a community-wide emergency preparedness
inviting and engaging residents and businesses to have 7 items for 7 days in the event of a disaster. Once
the program is off the ground, it would repeat on an annual basis, perhaps in May, which is Emergency
Preparedness month.
Commissioner Katz proposed that EPAC also promote public awareness for pedestrian safety including
banners and changes in our environment that would cater to pedestrians. Both Chair Buckland and
Emergency Manager, Erin Concas stated that while this is a great idea, the City wants EPAC to focus on
preparedness. Since this does not fit EPAC’s agenda, they suggested this be an add-on in the future of
“I’ve Got 7”.
o Workplan proposal and subcommittees – discussion
Commissioner Cross stated that Nixle and “I’ve Got 7” would generate 12 months of work for EPAC
and offered to be project manager for “I’ve Got 7”. Commissioner Cross motioned for a meeting within
30 days to form logistics for this campaign; Commissioner Benson seconded the motion. (EPAC
members were reminded that a meeting must be publicized when there are 4 or more present).
Commissioner Benson formed a substitute motion to move forward and implement the “I’ve Got 7”
campaign; Commissioner Katz seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Commissioner Benson motioned that Commissioner Cross be made the point of contact to speak with
staff at City of Santa Monica regarding the “I’ve Got 7” campaign. Commissioner Hallett seconded the
motion; all were in favor.
Commissioner Benson also made a motion that Erin Concas will schedule a workshop to determine
EPAC’s approach to the “I’ve Got 7” campaign. Commissioner Katz seconded the motion; all were in
favor.
5. REPORTS
a. OFFICE OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT – AREA G REPORT (South Bay Area of Los
Angeles County).
Jeff Robinson encouraged the “I’ve Got 7” campaign and stressed the importance of preparedness.
Jeff reported that the tar ball incidents were a little more than natural seepage and that people should
be instructed to report it to the lifeguards. He also reported on the lightning storm and that there was
an issue that the beaches were closed but the piers were not. He is working towards unison in that
regard.
b. CITY EMERGENCY MANAGER’S REPORT.
Erin reported that the tar balls were the first official disaster since she has been working here. It
prompted a federal response for clean up by the Coast Guard and was a good test of Nixle as well as
our relationships with neighboring cities.
Erin is working on updating the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). We have a lot of new
employees which means more training with EOC preparation.
The City hosted its first Volunteer Recognition event. Next year, it will be in April to correspond
with National Volunteer Week. It also marked the end of DSW and the start of HbCERT.
On July 4, the volunteers manned a First Aid Station on the Plaza in front of the Lifeguard
Headquarters. 15 patients were treated and the station became a quasi-information booth for
passersby. It was a great way to serve the community.
HBARA joined in National Field Day which is an event in which all North American groups are
invited to participate. HBARA made 100 contacts which is better than last year. They discovered
that the antenna needs to be adjusted, as it was slow to get running. HBARA also reports a
successful test of the generator, which they ran for two (2) hours.
c. FIRE CHIEF REPORT
Chief Lantzer reported that July 4 was much better overall. The day crowd was a little lighter and
the night crowd was about the same. They responded to 26 EMS calls from 12pm to 2:30am and
there were 2-3 dozen firework calls and one fire that PD extinguished.
Chief Lantzer reported that the tar balls covered 1% of the shoreline. A letter to the public was sent
out encouraging people to make reports to 800-424-8802.
At the council meeting on July 14, Erin Concas is presenting the first nationally recognized CERT
class. Chief Lantzer invited EPAC to support Erin in this endeavor by attending the meeting.
d. POLICE CHIEF REPORT
NONE
6. COMMISSION MEMBER REOUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS.
1) Commissioner Hallett requested that Erin give a lesson on Nixle.
2) Commissioner Katz requested an update on the Shakeout and how EPAC will participate.
3) New commissioners booked with attorney for tutorial in Brown Act.
7. ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Benson motioned for adjournment and Hallett seconded. All were in favor.

REPORT 15-0666
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of September 8, 2015
REQUEST TO PURCHASE AND/OR LEASE MODULAR BUILDINGS FOR TEMPORARY
RELOCATION OF POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL
(Public Works Director Andrew Brozyna)
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with
Pacific Mobile Structures for the lease of the modular buildings for the temporary Police and Fire
administrative offices,and the option to lease or purchase the modular building for the Fire
Department dorms contingent on the results of the structural analysis.
Background:
In 2014,the City Council approved adding CIP 14-632 Fire Department Tower Demolition into the
Capital Improvement Program.
Since City Hall has been identified as a potentially eligible local historic resource (2014 windshield
survey done for the General Plan)the Community Development Department engaged its historic
resource consultant,Planning Consultants Research (PCR),to evaluate impacts due to the tower be
removed,and the related CEQA steps needed as part of the Planning Commission review process.
Their primary recommendation was that the City conduct a more in-depth structural and safety
analysis of the tower as that would further inform the appropriate historic analysis that would be
necessary.
Staff contracted with John A.Martin &Associates,Inc.,a structural engineering consultant,for
preparation of the structural seismic evaluation report specific to the Hermosa Beach Fire Tower per
the City’s historic resource consultant’s recommendations.Upon finalization of the study,the report’s
findings conclude that the tower does not meet target performance levels for a design level
earthquake or collapse prevention for an infrequent level earthquake and shall be considered a
“Collapse Hazard”.Based on the report’s findings staff is expediting its efforts to complete the plans
and specifications for the dismantling of the fire tower.Construction work for removal of the tower is
expected to begin late Fall of this year.This work requires the temporary relocation of Fire
Department and some Police Department staff.

Staff Report
REPORT 15-0666
Analysis:
Efforts are underway to relocate Fire personnel and some Police staff in preparation for the upcoming
work.Three modular buildings are needed to provide necessary temporary housing and office space
for the 1)Fire Department dorms,2)a Fire Department administrative office,and 3)a Police
Department administrative office.Staff is planning for the relocation of Fire personnel dorms to
temporary modular buildings set up at the southwestern corner of the City Hall parking lot adjacent to
Bard Street.Temporary Fire Department administrative offices are proposed to be placed along
Bard Street next to the Fire Department garage.Police staff,located in office space on the first floor
of the Police Department,will be temporarily relocated to a modular building in the City Hall parking
lot adjacent to Valley Drive. Please refer to Attachment 1, enclosed.
The temporary relocation is expected to last about four to six months for both Police and Fire
administrative offices.The duration of the temporary relocation of the Fire Department dorms is
subject to the outcome of a structural analysis currently being prepared specific to the second floor
Fire Department dorms.If the second floor dorms are found to be potentially hazardous,staff will
propose that the second floor be dismantled along with the fire tower.If this occurs,the temporary
modular dorms will likely be needed for a much longer period of time until a permanent housing
solution is resolved. The findings of the structural analysis will be completed by September 24, 2015.
Modular Building Vendors
Staff solicited a number of vendors that lease and/or sell temporary modular housing and office
space;however,there are only a handful of vendors that provide the type of product that meet the
City’s needs and fewer that can deliver the buildings within a reasonable timeframe.Staff was able
to obtain quotes from three reputable companies. The list of vendors that responded is listed below:
1.Pacific Mobile Structures (Pacific)
2.Pac-Van
3.Accelerated
Enclosed as Attachment 2 is a spreadsheet listing unit prices next to modular equipment each firm
provided a quote for.In summary,only Pacific provides all the modular facilities needed for the
upcoming relocation.In addition,Pacific provides the option of purchasing modular buildings as
opposed to only leasing them,whereas both Pac-van and Accelerated only lease equipment.
Purchasing the modular building for the temporary dorms could be financially advantageous to the
City should the structural analysis of the second floor Fire Department dorms recommend its
demolition.Based on the proposals received,and the buy/lease options provided by each vendor,
staff recommends contracting with Pacific for the City’s modular building needs.

Staff Report
REPORT 15-0666
Modular Building Cost Summary
Police Department office: $19,944
Fire Department Office: $7,430
Fire Department dorms:
a.$51,078 (12 month lease option)
b.$117,000 (purchase price option)
Conclusion
Staff recommends leasing the temporary facilities for the Police and Fire Department administrative
offices for the minimum required six month period.If the structural analysis does not consider the
second floor potentially hazardous,staff proposes the 12 month minimum lease option.If the
structural analysis recommends the removal of the second floor dorms,staff recommends purchasing
the temporary dorm facilities for $117,000 since the facility will likely be occupied for a considerable
length of time.
The structural analysis is expected to be completed by September 24,2015.The information
provided by this report is important to determine whether to purchase or lease the modular building
for the dorms.The earliest Council meeting following September 24 is on October 13,2015.
Awarding the contract to Pacific on October 13 will delay the project schedule postponing the
demolition of the tower by several weeks.To remain on schedule staff recommends Council
authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Pacific for the lease of the modular
buildings for the Police and Fire administrative offices,and the option to lease or purchase the
modular building for the dorms contingent on the results of the structural analysis.
Fiscal Implications:
Current funds are available from the general fund for 1)CIP 14-632 Fire Department Tower
Demolition project in the amount of $224,000,and 2)CIP 15-607 Fire Station Renovation and
Upgrades in the amount of $134,500.
The combined costs of the modular buildings and the future construction contract to remove the
tower may exceed the current available funds.Additional appropriations may be requested at the
City Council meeting of October 13,2015 when staff plans to recommend the award of the
construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder for the demolition of the tower.

REPORT 15-0664
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of September 8, 2015
APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO PRODUCE THE
WEDNESDAY FARMER’S MARKET ON PIER PLAZA
(Senior Recreation Supervisor Kelly Orta)
Recommended Action:
Approve the agreement with the Chamber of Commerce to produce the Wednesday Farmer’s Market
on the Pier Plaza.
Background:
The Farmer’s Market in Hermosa Beach has been in existence since the 1990’s and currently takes
place every Friday from 12:00-4:00pm at the corner of 11th Street and Valley Drive,located next to
the City’s Community Services Building and the Clark Facility.Several years ago,the market took
place in the downtown area,but was moved to its current location after the parking structure was
built.At the time,the move was meant to be temporary,but the market has continued to operate
since then in the area on Valley Drive.The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce was this event’s
organizer until the Rotary Club began managing it in anticipation of the additional Wednesday market
on the Plaza.
At the August 5,2014 Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission meeting,Commission approved
the addition of the Wednesday market while leaving open the opportunity for the Friday market to
continue.This item was later heard at the September 23,2014 City Council meeting and approved
by Council.At this meeting,Council expressed concerns over vendor parking as well as the layout of
the market on the Plaza.Through a series of meetings with staff across all departments,the logistics
of the Wednesday farmer’s market on Pier Plaza has been discussed and the details finalized.
Although the move of the market has already been approved at a previous meeting and since the
market will be held on city property,it is necessary to formally approve the agreement with the
Chamber of Commerce to host the new market.
Analysis:
The Chamber of Commerce has contracted with Farmer Mark, a local company that oversees and
manages farmer’s markets throughout Southern California, to manage the Wednesday market in
Hermosa. The approved market will take place Wednesdays on Pier Plaza and will be held from
Hermosa Beach Printed on 9/3/2015Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
Staff Report
REPORT 15-0664
11:00am-4:00pm weekly. This market will include up to 50 vendor tents and tables and chairs for
seating. It is the desire of the Chamber of Commerce and Farmer Mark to incorporate a trackless
train for children to enjoy, but staff was concerned with having the train drive through pedestrian
areas on the Plaza, which is already congested with vendor tents. Safety personnel will be mindful of
adding the train on a later date, once the market is established and they have a better idea of the set-
up and possible impacts that the train would have on the market set-up.
After meeting with several Community Services (Parking Enforcement) staff, it was determined that
the best location for vendor parking will be in lot B (36 spaces), just north of the Plaza and south of
the parking structure. The entire lot would be reserved on a weekly basis between the hours of
9:00am - 6:00pm for vendor parking only. Nearby lots will remain fully available for customers of the
downtown area and the farmer’s market, including lot A (116 spaces) and the parking structure (300
spaces). It was noted by Parking Officials that parking in the downtown area on Wednesdays is
typically pretty light and that the closure of lot B for public parking is not expected to greatly impact
available spaces downtown. The charge for the parking spaces in lot B will be $0.625 per space per
hour, which is a 50% reduction in the regular rate of the parking spaces ($1.25 per space per hour).
This equates to $202.50 weekly.
Fiscal Implications:
The City will collect the weekly parking fees for use of lot B ($202.50) in addition to any direct costs
as deemed necessary.

Following are my views on Item 2-H.
Plaza farmer's market garbage ITEM 2-H (not 2-j) for Rubber Stamping of the sloppy,
poorly written scanned-in agreement.
Btw, the Chamber is a non-profit with no real assets, so how is a $2 M bond going to
protect HB if the fire department can't respond in a timely manner to deal with a
major event, i.e. resulting in a few kids get killed, given all the plaza being filled with
Chamber trash to keep the bars full. More chamber
garbage approved by the council of mental midgets. The contract is a
joke and given that it still mentions a beer garden, evidently no one even read it, or
that was left in on purpose for the future. It's all about Booze Martha. Booze and
more booze.
___________________________
Hi Martha, (and the HB City Council)
HERE COMES THE CHAMBER'S COMPETING PIER PLAZA, WEDNESDAY
FARMER'S MARKET STUFF, JUST IN TIME FOR THE FALL ELECTION CYCLE.
WHAT? THE KIDDY TRAIN IS NOT TO BE? No Tracks? No Train? How can the
parents sneak into a bar to get their booze, or sit in one of the bar-slab's corrals drinking
while their kids go around in circles?
BUT WAIT MARTHA, THE BEER GARDEN IS TO BE WORKED IN? YES MARTHA,
BASIS THE ALWAYS AMBIGUOUS WORDING OF HERMOSA BEACH
CONTRACTS, A BEER GARDEN? WHO WROTE THE CONTRACT? THE
CHAMBER? CITY ATTORNEY JENKINS? PROBABLY.
More trashy stuff is coming to Hermosa's downtown for "Economic Development" Bringing
Pacific Ocean Park, the old Long Beach 1950s Nu-Pyke, and the 1940s Coney Island to the
Hermosa's bars-slab to complete the transition of Pier Avenue into being the warped Rodeo
Drive of the South Bay, and now with up to 50 more booths selling trinkets, or elect Chamber
President Ken Hartley stuff, and perhaps farm produce, i.e. grapes.
This is of course more of the process to create blight and chaos downtown 24/7 for always de
facto negative reasons.
Well Martha, the kids when they go home may well be able to enjoy the rich aroma of booze on
their parents breaths, that is if their parents don't get a DUI, or worse yet in an accident, after
drinking and driving from the Chamber's competing Wednesday "Farmer's swap-meet Market."
in the bars-district. What better place to take your kids after school than Hermosa's infamous
bars and clubs district?
And how beautifully it's timed, precisely for the Chamber President's, Ken Hartley's, fall council
election run.
Will there be a gigantic sign with a picture of Ken Hartley, saying "Ken Hartley, CHAMBER'S
MAN OF THE YEAR, welcomes you to Hermosa's Competing Farmers Market". And will
there be more of the Chamber's trashy banners hanging over Aviation Blvd, PCH, Pier Avenue,
advertising MORE CHAMBER TRASH-OLA stuff to bring in more thousands to Hermosa
Beach.
Yes Martha, there's more Chamber trash-ola coming to Pier Plaza now on Wednesdays (to be
competing with the Friday Valley-Drive-Clark-Fields Farmer's Market) and with the take over
of parking Lot-B to 6-PM behind the old Bijou theater building.
TWO competing Farmer's markets, TWO DAYS A WEEK, JUST LIKE TWO FIESTA De La
CESSPOOLS per year. Martha, HERMOSA BEACH is to be the the CHAMBER'S
CARNIVAL ZONE 24/7 as given to them by Hermosa's City Council of mental midgets. Thank
you Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and mental midgets for trashing Hermosa Beach.
And yes Martha, evidently the kiddy tracks-and-train ride around the plaza bars-district is to be
temporarily ditched FOR NOW, but left open for future addition. Read the rubber-stamp,
always-ambiguously written contract that's hidden in the Council's agenda Consent Item # 2-H
staff report on Tuesday's, Sept-8, 7-PM Coronation of Queen Carolyn Petty's quickie
council meeting.
And again, yes, with Bakaly running stuff, contracts giving away the city to the Chamber will
indeed be hidden on the agenda in Consent Items so no councilmember needs to be seen pulling
or voting on the item for the public to hear about the latest discussion-free, give-away of the city
by the Hermosa City Council to the Chamber.
And also, evidently Martha, only elite insiders who received special invitations from Queen-in-
waiting, Petty, a week or so ago, are invited to the Queen's get-drunk party at the Ocean Bar on
Manhattan Avenue (across the street from E&B Oil) beginning at 8-PM, Sept 8.
Martha, the direct link follows to the staff item with the contract for the Chamber's competing
Farmer's market. (click the "Details" tab, if the staff report is not in view)

Subject: Item 2h on the agenda for tonight's council meeting
Please add this as written communication for item 2h for tonight's council meeting.
Dear Councilmembers,
It is foolish and a blatant giveaway to give the Chamber parking spaces at $.625/hour while average Joes and
Hermosans must pay $1.25/hour. I urge you to change the Farmer's Market contract to have the Chamber pay the
same rate as everyone else: $1.25/hour. Please keep in mind that the Farmer's Market brings in very little revenue
to the city since virtually no sales tax (or no sales tax at all) is generated at the market, so at least our city should
receive the appropriate amount of revenue for the parking spaces that it is giving over to the Chamber. Thank you.

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.

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,

Regular Meeting of September 8, 2015
AES REDONDO BEACH POWER PLANT-
AUGUST 28 INCIDENT FOLLOW UP
(Fire Chief David Lantzer and
Community Development Director Ken Robertson)
Recommended:
Direct staff to draft a letter to AES requesting answers to the following speific questions and to
provide a full account of the August 28 incident:
1.Why was no notification made to Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach Fire Departments
and/or dispatch centers?
2.Why was no one available to answer phone calls from the Redondo Beach dispatch center?
3.Why was the front gate unattended during the event?
4.What is AES plan to review,improve and train their employees on notification processes,
particularly to the Hermosa Beach Fire Department and RCC?
5.What is AES plan to address/correct the issue of no answers of phone calls to the power
station?
6.What is AES plan to ensure the front gate is attended,specifically when an event occurs to
allow unimpeded access to fire department personnel?
7.What is AES plans for preventing this type of incident and this type of response to an
emergency from happening again.
Background:
At the meeting of September 1 the Council directed staff to provide a report for September 8 on the
AES Redondo Beach incident addressing the following:
1.Questions to AES regarding August 28 incident and any proposed investigation relating to
same.
2.Proposal to improve communications with Council and residents regarding future incidents
(i.e. Nixle).
3.Update regarding status report filed with or submitted to the California Energy Commission.
BACKGROUND ON THE INCIDENT
On the night of August 28th at 7:48pm,the Hermosa Beach Fire Department received notification
from the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (SBRPCA,or RCC)of reports of loud
“hissing/whistling”sounds.The RCC recorded at least two calls from Hermosa Beach residents,
after the first two calls additional calls are not tracked.HBFD Paramedic Engine 11 was dispatched

REPORT 15-0667
after the first two calls additional calls are not tracked.HBFD Paramedic Engine 11 was dispatched
to investigate and encountered a strong odor of natural gas as they approached Herondo Street;the
source of the leak was quickly determined to be the AES power station.RCC confirmed with the
Redondo Beach dispatch center that they were also fielding calls with similar reports.The Hermosa
Beach engine captain made his unit available to assist RBFD.Engine 11 monitored the north side of
the power station property on Herondo Street.
During RBFD’s response,Redondo Beach dispatch attempted to make contact with AES to ascertain
what type of issue they were having.Multiple attempts were made to the AES facility without
success (all attempts rolled into voice mail).No direct contact was ever made by Redondo Beach
dispatch to anyone at AES during the duration of the event.
When RBFD arrived at the AES front gate,fire department units found the gate closed and
unattended.Once the security officer arrived and opened the gate,RBFD requested that a
representative from the facility with working knowledge of what was occurring meet with them at the
front of the property.Within a few minutes,a representative from AES arrived to brief RBFD
personnel and led them to the location of a venting pressure relief valve before shutting down the
supply line.At this point (approximately 8:15pm)the gas leak was stopped,with assurances from
plant personnel that the pressures in the line were stable and below any pressure that would cause
an issue.RBFD estimates the total natural gas discharge time was 39 minutes.According to AES,
the cause of the natural gas release was due to a non-specified equipment failure,which resulted in
automatically switching a generator offline; this caused a relief valve to operate.
In the future the City plans to use Nixle as a means to communicate the status of incidents similar to
this one,and is working on establishing a process for off-hour notifications by employees.The lack
of notification from AES also limited the accuracy of what we could have sent out.
At the September 1st Redondo Beach City Council meeting,council directed Redondo Beach staff to
draft and issue a letter to AES demanding a full account of what occurred on August 28th.
Included in the attachment to this report are the RBFD staff report to Redondo Beach City Council,
AES press release on the incident, and Redondo Beach’s latest status report to the California Energy
Commission (filed September 1) which among other items includes expressing their alarm about the
August 28 incident and AES’s response and requesting a full investigation before the CEC moves
forward on AES application.
The City Attorney also plans to also file a status report on behalf of Hermosa Beach in our role as
intervenor regarding the incident that will be provided in a supplemental.
Anyone adversely affected by the natural gas release can help the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) protect public health in the South Coast Air Basin by making a
complaint to the SCAQMD directly. Access the SCAQMD on-line complaint system to report your
observations <http://www3.aqmd.gov/webappl/complaintsystemonline/NewComplaint.aspx>or call 1

Subject: UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASE OF NATURAL
GAS FROM THE AES PLANT ON AUGUST 28, 2015.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Receive and file a report on an uncontrolled release of natural gas from
the AES plant in Redondo Beach on August 28, 2015; and
2. That City Council request a full accounting of the event from management
of AES Redondo Beach including the reasons for the gas release as well

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the evening of Friday, August 28, 2015, the AES electrical generating
plant in Redondo Beach experienced an unexpected and uncontrolled release of
natural gas into the atmosphere. The Fire Department believes the release
lasted approximately 39 minutes. On the evening of August 28th, the Fire
Department responded to three locations to check for natural gas odors.
Additionally, the City of Hermosa Beach received calls from the public concerned
about natural gas odors.
As a result of a call from a concerned citizen, the Redondo Beach Fire
Department was alerted that the source of the gas leak may be the AES plant.
The Fire Department is not aware of any notification made to the City by AES of
this hazardous release. Upon the Fire Department’s arrival at the AES site, plant
personnel confirmed that the plant was experiencing an unexpected venting of
natural gas. Plant personnel were able to secure the natural gas leak and render
the situation safe.

BACKGROUND
On the evening of August 28th at approximately 19:45 hours, the City of Redondo
Beach Dispatch Center began to receive calls for natural gas odors at different
locations in the City. The Fire Department responded to three different
addresses, although the actual number of calls to 9-1-1 is unknown at this time.
Calls on record were to 700 N. PCH at 19:45 hours, 1300 Amethyst at 19:48
hours, and 1100 N. Harbor Drive at 19:57 hours. The last call to which the Fire
Department responded was the AES plant, with the caller stating that there was a
strong smell of natural gas and there appeared to be alarms of some kind
sounding. On-duty Fire Division Chief Mark Winter responded to the AES
address along with Truck 61 and Squad 63.
During his response to the plant, Chief Winter directed Dispatch to make contact
with AES to ascertain what type of issue they were having. Dispatch reported
back to Chief Winter that multiple attempts were made to reach someone at the
AES facility, and that all attempts rolled into voice mail only. No direct contact
was ever made by Dispatch to anyone at AES.
Upon arrival at the AES front gate, responding Fire Department units found the
gate closed and unattended. There were no security personnel available to
provide immediate access to the plant. Chief Winter noted an audible loud noise
of what he believed was escaping gas under pressure. Chief Winter activated the
call button at the front gate but received no immediate response from any AES
personnel. He instructed the truck company to prepare to force entry onto the
AES premises, when a security officer finally responded over the gate speaker
that he was coming to the gate to assist them. Once the security officer arrived
and opened the gate, Chief Winter requested that a representative from the AES
plant with working knowledge of what was happening meet with him at the front
of the property. In the interim, Chief Winter deployed Fire Department assets in
preparation for managing an unstable incident.
Within a few minutes, Mr. Amer Saeed from AES arrived to brief Chief Winter on
the incident. He then led Chief Winter and a small complement of Fire personnel
to the location of a venting pressure relief valve. Mr. Saeed then left, reportedly
to manually shut down the gas line feeding the pressure relief valve.
At this point the gas leak was stopped, with assurances from plant personnel that
the pressures in the line were stable and below any pressure that would cause
an issue. Chief Winter instructed the Redondo Beach Dispatch Center to contact
the EPA and advise them of the gas leak. The following information was
conveyed to the EPA:
Administrative Report September 1, 2015
Uncontrolled Release of Natural Gas from AES
Page 3
1. The gas leak began at approx. 19:36 hours, according to AES personnel.
2. The gas leak was brought under control at an estimated 20:15 hours.
3. The operating pressure of the gas supply lines was approximately 65 PSI.
4. The total estimated discharge time of the natural gas was 39 minutes.
The EPA Report number is 1126982.
No one from EPA came to the scene. Dispatch advised that they (EPA) did not
request any more info or follow up.
A representative from the Gas Company was also summoned to the scene (no
name recorded), who advised that there was no need to continue to monitor the
area for Natural Gas. He stated that once the leak had been stopped, there was
no longer a threat to the area.
During this incident Chief Winter reported that he was contacted by a Hermosa
Beach Engine company and told that they were also checking on complaints in
their city for natural gas smells that they believed were related to the AES
discharge. The extent of the impact to Hermosa Beach is presently unknown to
us.
During the day on Saturday, August 29, 2015, City Manager Joe Hoefgen and
AES representative Eric Pendergraft communicated via text and voice mail.
Subsequently, on Monday, August 31, 2015, Mr. Pendergraft forwarded a
synopsis of the gas release event to the City Manager. Attached to this staff
report is a record of the correspondence between AES and the City.
The recommendation is that the City Council request of AES a full accounting of
the events of August 27, 2015, including the reasons for the gas release as well
as a description of additional measures by AES to provide timely and accurate
notification to the City and to prevent similar gas releases in the future.

Docket No. 12-AFC-03
INTERVENOR CITY OF REDONDO BEACH'S
STATUS REPORT
Intervenor City of Redondo Beach ("City") hereby submits this Status Report
pursuant to the Committee's ORDERS FOLLOWING THE AUGUST 5, 2015 COMMITTEE
CONFERENCE, issued on August 13, 2015.
I.EMERGENCY INCIDENT AT AES POWER PLANT
On Friday, August 28, 2015, the existing AES power plant in Redondo Beach
experienced a malfunction resulting in a serious gas leak. The City received the following notice on
Friday night from the Chief of the Redondo Beach Fire Department:
Just a heads-up that AES experienced a malfunction in one of their
boilers, resulting in a 19 minute venting of raw natural gas into the
atmosphere. Incident started at 1936 hours. FD was called out all over
the city for nat gas odors before we finally tracked it back to AES.
They never notified us of the event. EPA & Gas Co. called to scene.
AES secured boiler and shut down gas. Situation appears to be under
control. AES bringing in contractors to determine what failed and
effect repairs.
The City is alarmed at this incident, especially in light of the recent explosion at the
Exxon Mobil refinery in Torrance on February 18, 2015. The City is even more alarmed that AES
did not notify the Fire Department or the City of the incident.
The City is requesting a full investigation and report on this incident from AES.
Moreover, the City urges the Commission to fully investigate and understand this incident and AES'
safety practices before moving forward on AES' application for a new power plant at the same site.

This incident highlights the unsuitability of the site for a new power plant. As
discussed below, the high population density of Redondo Beach makes it a dangerous place for a
major new industrial facility.
II.ALTERNATIVES
A.Population Density Study
The City's mapping consultant is nearing completion of its study of the population
density in the areas surrounding existing gas-fired power plants in California. As expected, the City
of Redondo Beach is one of the most densely populated sites in California for such a facility. The
close proximity of large numbers of residents greatly amplifies the impacts and risks caused by such
a facility. We urge Commission Staff to take this new data into account when performing its
alternatives analysis.
The City will release the maps and data as soon as possible, hopefully prior to the
Status Conference scheduled for September 11, 2015.
B.Motion for Issuance of Subpoena
On August 27, 2015, the City filed a motion with the Committee for issuance of a
subpoena duces tecum requiring the release of information regarding the proposed locations of gas-
fired power plants in the Los Angeles Basin ("L.A. Basin"). The data is contained in the Testimony
of Southern California Edison ("SCE"), filed at the Public Utilities Commission on November 21,
2014. The Testimony describes the results of a Request for Offers ("RFO") issued by SCE to
procure power in the L.A. Basin. It contains information on 198 "indicative offers" received by
SCE for gas-fired power plants in the L.A. Basin. The names, locations, and capacities of the
proposed plants have been redacted.
The City urges the Committee to issue the requested subpoena. The Preliminary
Staff Assessment ("PSA") concluded that there were no viable alternative sites for a gas-fired power
plant in the region. SCE's Testimony makes clear that there are, in fact, potentially viable
alternative sites for such a facility. This information is therefore essential for Commission staff to
perform a complete alternatives analysis.

III.NOISE AND VIBRATION
A.Motion to Compel Noise Data
On August 4, 2015, the City filed a Motion to Compel Production of AES Noise
Data. On August 13, 2015, Commission Staff filed a brief in support of the Motion to Compel. On
August 19, 2015, AES filed a brief in opposition to the Motion to Compel.
In a "separate" line of communication, Commission Staff sent an email to AES's
consultant on August 11, 2015, requesting additional noise data. On August 12, the consultant
replied by saying the requested data would be provided "next week." On August 28, 2015, AES
posted an email in response to Staff's request, containing a substantial amount of noise data.
The City finds it curious that: (1) AES refused to provide any of the noise data
initially requested by the City, which forced the City to file a Motion to Compel; but (2) AES freely
provided much of the same data when requested by Energy Commission Staff. This smacks of
unhelpful gamesmanship that does not serve the Commission or the public.
Nonetheless, the City is grateful to have received at least some of the underlying
noise data it requested. The City will shortly be preparing a list of the noise data that has still not
been produced, to assist the Committee in deciding whether to grant the Motion to Compel.
B.Analysis of Newly Released Noise Data
The City's noise consultants are now analyzing the noise data provided by AES on
August 28. The consultants plan to issue a report regarding their analysis as quickly as possible.
Depending on the findings in the analysis, the City may request an additional noise workshop to
address discrepancies between the data and the conclusions put forth by AES' consultants.
C.New Noise Ordinance
On August 18, 2015, the City Council received testimony from the City's noise
consultants on the need to revise the City's Noise Ordinance to address issues related to industrial
and public utility uses. The Council directed City staff to prepare amendments to the Noise
Ordinance to address these concerns. Staff anticipates presenting a revised Noise Ordinance to the
Council in the next few weeks.

A revised Noise Ordinance could potentially result in a significant change to local
Laws, Ordinances, Regulations, and Standards ("LORS") governing the regulation of noise impacts.
IV.BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
On August 27, 2015, the Coastal Commission sent a letter notifying AES that its
installation and continued operation of dewatering pumps at the existing power plant in Redondo
Beach is in violation of the Coastal Act and the Local Coastal Program ("LCP"). (The letter was
posted to the docket on August 31, 2015.) The letter orders AES to immediately stop the
destruction of wetlands onsite and to cease and desist from the operation of any dewatering pumps.
This is a critical new development. First, the Energy Commission must not condone
or encourage the violation of the Coastal Act or the LCP. It should reject the proposed project,
which seeks to permanently eliminate wetlands that are already being illegally destroyed by the
project sponsor.
Second, as noted in the Coastal Commission letter, the AES facility is located on the
site of an extensive, historic wetland. Turning off the pumps will likely result in the rapid formation
of additional wetland areas, in addition to the 5.93 acres that have already been identified by the
Coastal Commission and the Energy Commission. In its analysis of Biological Resources, Energy
Commission Staff should take into consideration the potential rapid expansion of these critical
wetland areas.
V.AIR QUALITY
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has not yet issued a decision on
the Final Determination of Compliance ("FDOC"), nor specified when it expects to issue a decision.
The Committee should allow a reasonable amount of time after issuance of the FDOC decision for
the parties to prepare and submit comments, and for Energy Commission staff to review those
comments.
In addition, on August 28, 2015, AES submitted important new data to Energy
Commission staff regarding the "public health modeling" for the project: "Per Staff’s request, we

are submitting two compact discs containing an estimate of the Redondo Beach Energy Project’s

The City's air consultant intends to request copies of the compact disks referenced
above and to perform a review of the data and analysis submitted by AES. The Committee should
allow a reasonable amount of time for the City's consultant to perform this analysis, and for
Commission Staff to review it.
VI.SCHEDULE
Given all of the above, the City respectfully requests that the Committee refrain at
this time from issuing a deadline for completion of the Final Staff Assessment. There are simply
too many issues that have yet to be resolved before Staff can reasonably be expected to issue their
final report.

AES Redondo Beach Safety Systems Worked as Designed During
Minor Equipment Failure
No hazard to public or worker health, operations back to normal
REDONDO BEACH, CA — The AES Redondo Beach generating station
experienced a minor equipment failure during the early evening of Friday, August 28,
which “tripped” one of four generating units at the station — automatically switching
it offline, allowing for a safe shutdown of the system.
As a result of the unit trip, the natural gas safety relief valves automatically
opened, releasing some natural gas into the atmosphere over the course of
approximately 19 minutes
This safety device functioned as designed and there was no public or
worker safety hazard. However, there was a noticeable odor as a result of the
natural gas release.
The cause of the “trip” was investigated and discovered — a faulty control
system part on the low-pressure natural gas system that supplies fuel to the
steam generator. The generating unit was reset, restarted and released for
normal operations approximately 30 minutes after the event.
The following agencies have been notified: U.S. EPA Region 9 Duty
Office, California Office of Emergency Service, the South Coast Air Quality
Management District, and the City of Redondo Beach Fire Department. The Fire
Department has made an on-site inspection.
{00318539;3}
Safety comes first at AES — and we are pleased that all safety systems
and plant personnel responded appropriately, ensuring that this event posed no
hazard to the public. AES sincerely regrets the incident, and will continue our
diligent efforts to prevent such events in the future.

Background
On November 20, 2012, AES Southland, LLC (AES) submitted the AFC to the California
Energy Commission seeking permission to construct and operate a power generation
facility, the RBEP, located at 1100 North Harbor Drive, in the city of Redondo Beach,
Los Angeles County. The site is southeast of the intersection of North Harbor Drive and
Herondo Street. The project would be located entirely within the footprint of the existing
AES Redondo Beach Generating Station, an operating power plant.
Energy Commission staff published the Preliminary Staff Assessment (PSA) on July 28,
2014. The proceeding was suspended for approximately eight months while AES
pursued an initiative to change the land use plan for the site.
On May 5, 2015, the Committee filed a Scheduling Order and Order Regarding the
Filing of Record of Conversation (May Scheduling Order).2 A Revised Scheduling Order
was filed on May 8, 2015.3 Under the Revised Scheduling Order, Energy Commission
staff was directed to file its Final Staff Assessment (FSA) no later than September 4,
2015.
The Committee held a conference on the PSA on August 5, 2015. Following the
conference, the Committee issued an order that, among other things, vacated the
Revised Scheduling Order.4 The order stated that there would be a subsequent status
conference to review the current status of the proceeding, particularly the status of the
Final Determination of Compliance (FDOC) to be issued by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD).
SCAQMD submitted an e-mail dated August 12, 2015 that stated that publication of the
FDOC will not occur until late 2015/early 2016.5
Purpose of the Status Conference
The purpose of this Status Conference is to address the timing of the issuance of the
FDOC and future schedule of the RBEP proceeding.
The Committee will also consider the motion to compel production of certain documents
that was brought by the City of Redondo Beach, an intervenor in this case.6 Staff has
filed its brief, supporting the motion to compel.7 Applicant has filed an opposition to the
motion.8

CONFERENCE issued on August 13 2015 The City of Hermosa Beach has intervened in
this proceeding because the AES project site is located on Herondo Street which serves as
the border between Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach and a number of Hermosa Beach
residents in a density populated area live directly across from the project site Due to their
proximity to the project residents of Hermosa Beach are likely to experience the same types of
health safety and welfare impacts experienced by residents of the City of Redondo Beach
potentially to an even greater degree This interconnectedness was demonstrated by the
natural gas leak that occurred at the existing AES facility on Friday August 28 2015
As the September 1 2015 status report filed by the City of Redondo Beach and
AES press release following the incident indicate the existing AES power plant in Redondo
Beach experienced a malfunction resulting in a natural gas leak on August 28 2015 which
activated the facilitysalarms and caused the release of natural gas At 748 pm the
Hermosa Beach Fire Department HBPD received notification from the South Bay Regional
Public Communications Authority RCC of reports of loud hissingwhistling sounds in the
vicinity of the AES power plant site HBFD Paramedic Engine 11 was dispatched to
investigate and encountered a strong odor of natural gas as it approached Herondo Street
The source of the leak was quickly determined to be the AES power station HBFD was aware
that the Redondo Beach Fire Department RBFD had also dispatched a vehicle to respondtosimilarcomplaintsandtheHermosaBeachenginecaptainmadehisunitavailabletoassist
RBFD HBFD Engine 11 monitored the north side of the power station property on Herondo
Street while the RBFD conducted its investigation
During this incident and its aftermath AES has disregarded the impacts resulting
from the Redondo Beach facilitys close proximity to the City of Hermosa Beach and the CityofHermosaBeachhasseriousconcernsthatshouldbeconsideredinthecontextofthe
pending application for a new facility at the Redondo Beach site First it is alarming that AES
did not answer phone calls from RBFD or have anyone stationed at the facilitys security gate
to grant the fire departments access to the facility Second it is evident that noise and odor
from the Redondo Beach site will spill over into Hermosa Beach and impact its residents This
spillover effect should be taken into account as the Committee and staff continue to work
toward a Final Staff Assessment Additionally as was the case here the HBFD will likely be
called upon to respond to incidents at the proposed facility in concert with RBFD potentially
placing additional burdens on the Citys limited resources
On September 1 2015 the City of Redondo Beach requested that AES provide a
full and complete written explanation of the incident within 48 hours Both affected cities maybeinterestedincompletingfurtherinvestigationsoftheincidentwhichmayproduce
information pertinent to the pending Application for Certification As such the City of Hermosa
Beach respectFully requests that completion of the Final Staff Assessment be delayed until the
completion of such investigations Alternatively the City requests that any certification of theproposedfacilityincludeaconditionrequiringAEStoadoptaplantonotifyboththecitiesof

agencies may more efficiently and effectively protect the safety and welfare of residents
