PUBLIC COMMENT tony higgins Dear City Council Dear City Manager Napolitano Dear Chief Phillips. I hope Chief Phillips presentation in the 12/9 CCM will squarely answer questions the community has regarding the HBPD response to the ongoing Ebike-Teen-Thug problems that have plagued our community over the past 3 years. Hopefully it will not be just another "The King can do No Wrong" presentation . I think what many are struggling with can be understood by considering Chief Phillips' answer of "No" when asked if retrospectively the HBPD would have handled anything differently in the last town hall. At least City Manager Napolitano acknowledged in Francois' Dec 1st Town Hall that the city's press release covering the teen-thug beating (url below) "fell short." and "It could have been better and we'll do better in the future.". https://www.hermosabeach.gov/Home/Components/News/News/4461/28 Chief Phillips' said "The goal [of the ill-fated press release] was to put enough information out there to address some of the ***umptions that were going out on social media." Rather than simply admitting the above press release was a mistake and intentionally or not, its effect was to blame the victim , the Chief seemed to try and justify the press release by stating its goals were well intended. Im sure many read that as still being blind to the fact that his detectives and the city as a whole completely misrepresented the magnitude and characteristics of this attack. What I think residents are hoping for is that the Chief will speak candidly in his 12/9 CCM presentation about what was done right, what was done wrong, what the plan is and specifically what HBPD will do differently going forward. Thank You for Considering No Position Page 1 of 22Page 13 of 545 City Council eComment Report December 9, 2025 Agenda Item Name Comment Position 12. PUBLIC COMMENT tonyhiggins Dear City Council Why is our city clerk refusing to provide any information on WHEN public access will be restored to 20+ years of granicus council & commission videos, minutes, financial reports, council agendas and staff reports. Ive made 3 requests for info on this with no response from the City Clerk's office A couple months ago this escribe notice suddenly appeared. "The City Clerks Office is currently migrating City Council and Commission data from before July 1, 2024, into our updated agenda management system, eScribe. We appreciate your patience as we work through this transition. Past City Council and Commission meetings will be temporarily unavailable. Updates to this project will be made here". 20+ years of data! To the best of my knowledege there was no advance notice nor any explanation of why this data couldn't be ported over while retaining granicus access. Public access to city documents is a foundational city clerk duty. Yes public access was cut off by our City Clerk without any meaningful council review or public input. How is that ok? The clerk has said nothing about what documents will/wont be ported over to escribe nor any info on when access will be restored. Simply said, this is dereliction of you duty to the public. I hope the city can do better going forward. Sincerely, Anthony Higgins No Position Page 2 of 22Page 14 of 545 City Council eComment Report December 9, 2025 Agenda Item Name Comment Position 12. PUBLIC COMMENT Adam Morrison Its a genuinely sad day for Hermosa Beach. Our City Council has managed to do the impossible: replace a qualified, experienced City Manager with a stooge like Napolitano, who has zero city management experience and a track record that would make any responsible community run in the opposite direction. Instead, they handed the job to a man best known as a horrific slumlord with multiple health and safety violations in his own complexes. A simple Google search shows Napolitano has tried and failed spectacularly to win every election hes entered, largely because voters can spot his odious character and abrasive personality from a mile away. And if that werent enough, his awful YouTube videos alone should disqualify him from overseeing anything more complex than a ring light. Ive seen middle-school group projects with better lighting, editing, and basic awareness of how the human face works on camera. If he cant figure out YouTube, how is he going to figure out city management? We traded competence for chaos. Vision for vanity. A steady hand for a feckless one. City Council didnt just make a bad decision. They made an embarrassing one. And Hermosa will be paying the price long after this appointment becomes the cautionary tale it already is. Congratulations City Council on hiring the Anthony Rendon of City Managers.

Is there anyone besides the Chamber of Commerce and local business owners that actually want this sign? Its a slippery slope. tonyhiggins - 15.e APPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE OF DONATION FOR DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF MONUMENT SIGNAGE - 25-AS-098 David Grethen This agenda item should probably be pulled from Consent. While grateful for such a generous donation, we should acknowledge the potential for conflict between the donor's and public's preferences for the location and design of the sign. I was encouraged to see provisions in the agreement that begin to address this. But a discussion of adequacy of those provisions, and review of the history, prior discussion and public engagement on this matter would be worthwhile. Daviid Grethen - Public Works Commission No Position Page 4 of 22Page 16 of 545 City Council eComment Report December 9, 2025 Agenda Item Name Comment Position 15.e APPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE OF DONATION FOR DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF MONUMENT SIGNAGE - 25-AS-098 tonyh Please note i apologize i that i can't delete my previous post. There is more to consider. Dear City Council, I appreciate the well intended community spirit behind this donation. But one has to wonder if a large digital billboard wont degrade the ambience of our Historic 1930's era Community Center Building. But I think its fair to ask if there anyone besides the Chamber of Commerce, local business owners and event promoters that actually want this sign or other digital billboards? Can anyone see this expanding up and down PCH or Pier Ave or Downtown along Hermosa Ave Could it be a slippery slope to digital billboard way-fairer signs on Artesia, Aviation or Gould. Will the city sell advertising spots on this billboard? I hope the council is clear on this and establishes digital billboard guardrails. A good argument can also be made that digital billboards significantly increase distracted driver rear-end and sideswipe accidents. PCH in Hermosa is already inundated with road closures due to auto accidents. Is it in our resident's interest to increase this risk? No the sky is not falling. More like drip drip drip Many coastal cities do not permit digital billboards Malibu, La Jolla, Carmel, San Simeon, Cambria and most coastal cities in San Diego County. Yes i appreciate that Long Beach, Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach do. But again, before you commit to this i think its fair to ask about guardrails. Thank you for considering tonyhiggins - Page 5 of 22Page 17 of 545 City Council eComment Report December 9, 2025 Agenda Item Name Comment Position 15.e APPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE OF DONATION FOR DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF MONUMENT SIGNAGE - 25-AS-098 Howard Lee Mayor, Councilmembers, and others: Thanks go to former Mayor Chuck Sheldon and Missy Sheldon for their generous gift. However, notwithstanding, there are far better uses in City for this donation to benefit for long-term remembrance of the Sheldon's contributions to the city.

However, our local amendments go beyond state requirements in ways that create inefficiencies and burdens for staff, residents and businessessuch as requiring $30k in undergrounding for a simple $3k electrical panel change, which isn't mandated by the California Electrical Code. Even worse, things like this have unintended consequences that result in the shutting down of business. We also need to eliminate outdated, legacy code provisions to prevent more frustrated residents and "Becker building stories" that highlight inconsistent enforcement and regulatory hurdles. I understand now is not the time because of the urgent nature of this ordinance but this should be brought back when there is less urgency so there is enough time for meaningful public comment. When adopting this, please direct staff to bring back the ordinance and related code change recommendations to Council early next year for refinements that align better with our city's current needs, reducing burdens without sacrificing safety. This could be part of a larger conversation about finally completing the comprehensive update that was to be done years ago. No Position Page 7 of 22Page 19 of 545 City Council eComment Report December 9, 2025 Agenda Item Name Comment Position 17.a ADOPT A RESOLUTION AND APPROVE A CONTRACT FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF STEVEN NAPOLITANO AS CITY MANAGER - 25- AS-102 Laura Pena Dear Mayor, Council Members, and Staff - First, I want to express my appreciation for the selection of Steve Napolitano as our new City Manager. As the staff report highlights, he brings a long track record of success in areas such as economic development, public safety, homelessness, infrastructure, regional partnerships, and community engagement. Given the importance of these areas, many residents naturally want to understand how his performance will be measured and what indicators will be used to show progress on these priorities. The City Manager Employment Agreement requires the Council and City Manager to jointly establish performance goals and objectives within 45 days of the effective date (Section 9). These goals form the basis of the City Managers evaluation and should guide the work of the organization. I fully respect that personnel evaluations must be conducted in closed session and remain confidential. However, the performance goals themselves are not confidential, and publicly sharing them does not disclose any private evaluation content. It simply communicates what the Council is asking the City Manager to accomplish. For Council Members who believe that performance expectations should not be disclosed: Confidentiality applies to the evaluation meeting and discussion, not to the goals the Council sets for the City Manager. Sharing goals does not critique, praise, or expose anything about the City Managers performance, it merely communicates the Citys priorities. The public has a legitimate interest in understanding how the Citys top executive is being directed, especially on major issues such as economic development, public safety, homelessness, and infrastructure. The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) Guidance in Performance Management for Local Government emphasizes that performance management works best when organizations clearly define what they are trying to accomplish and align performance expectations with strategic plans and publicly stated priorities. For Page 8 of 22Page 20 of 545 City Council eComment Report December 9, 2025 Agenda Item Name Comment Position The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) explicitly recommends that governments identify, track, and communicate performance measures, noting they should be communicated internally and externally to promote accountability and understanding. These principles support transparency in expectations not public disclosure of evaluations. Publishing the City Managers agreed upon performance goals would: Strengthen trust in Councils oversight role as elected public officials Allow the community to understand how major priorities such as economic development, public safety, and organizational performance will be measured Demonstrate responsible stewardship of tax dollars Align our City with widely accepted performance management practices Maintain full confidentiality for personnel evaluations For these reasons, I recommend our City Council consider publicly sharing the mutually agreed upon performance objectives and offering periodic, high level updates on progress. This maintains full compliance with personnel privacy laws while enhancing transparency and confidence in the Citys leadership. As always, I appreciate your thoughtful consideration. Laura Pena 17.b CONTINUED REVIEW OF THE CITYS RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM - 25- AS-099 Robert Aronoff The City needs to restore reasonalbly priced one-day event passes (party passes) for residents.

The draft revisions clearly demonstrate progress in this area. I recommend our City take the next step and update the underlying home occupation provisions in the application so they better reflect how people actually work today particularly as new technologies, AI-driven work patterns, and digital micro-enterprises rapidly reshape our economy. The current code restricts activity based on business type rather than actual neighborhood impacts. It bans employees, client visits, vehicle signage, equipment over 120 volts, and even the listing of a business address. These restrictions were crafted in a different era long before remote professional services, online commerce, digital content creation, the gig economy, or AI-enabled work became mainstream. Today, nearly half of all U.S. small businesses are home-based, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. Importantly, most of these home-based enterprises are quiet, low-impact, and entirely compatible with residential neighborhoods. They involve laptops, video meetings, creative digital tools, consulting, teaching, or remote professional services not the high impact business types the old rules were designed to regulate. Updating the ordinance to regulate actual impacts (noise, traffic, parking, safety, and exterior appearance), rather than prohibiting entire business categories would protect neighborhoods and allow residents to participate in the evolving economy. This approach is also consistent with the staff reports framing that home occupations are typically limited and low-impact, and that our goal is to foster local economic vitality. I also recommend the City involve our business community, Chamber of Commerce, and local entrepreneurs as partners in these updates. Their lived experience and perspectives will ensure that the revised code is practical, forward- looking, and supportive of the kinds of innovative work now emerging. With AI and digital tools accelerating new forms of income generation from consulting to robotics to creative and analytical services we should position our City to welcome, not unintentionally restrict, this next generation of small business activity. For Page 10 of 22Page 22 of 545 City Council eComment Report December 9, 2025 Agenda Item Name Comment Position Supporting low-impact home-based businesses is not only a matter of fairness, it is an investment in the long-term health of our local economy. These entrepreneurs often become the future tenants of our commercial districts, the employers of local residents, and the contributors to our tax base. Modernizing our home occupation rules so they reflect current work realities will help ensure our City remains a place where small businesses can start, grow, and thrive. As always, I appreciate your thoughtful consideration. Laura Pena 17.g APPROVE THE PROPOSED TREE REPLANTING PLAN FOR VALLEY PARK AND THE GREENBELT - 25-PW- 091 MC Guerry The city should only be planting native Californian trees. I ask the council reject the suggested list of trees and ask instead for one that only has native Californian trees. Our region has lost over 90% of local butterflies and songbirds since the beginning of the twentieth century due to replacing local native habitat with exotic non-natives. Many of these species exist nowhere else and are now threatened. Planting non-native trees and plants means a future where the only birds you will hear are gulls, crows, and a few invasive European species. There is no such thing as a "California Friendly" tree or plant that is not native. Our native pollinators evolved hand-in- hand with native plants. Native butterflies will not lay eggs on non-native plants/trees. The primary food source for local baby songbirds is native butterfly caterpillars. Most native bees cannot utilize non-native flora, no matter how pretty the blooms are. 90% of insects cannot co-exist with any non-native trees/plants, making every non-native planting unfriendly to California.

Att: Ref-A Marquee staff item of 11-25-2008 city council meeting Ref-B Signs in Open Space text amendment - staff continuation item of 11-18-2008 Planning Commission meeting. Honorable Mayor, Councilmembers, and others: Re: #1- Unneeded / improperly approved city electronic video advertising sign marquee de facto contract. With all due respect to Ryder Communications, I believe this whole Pier and PCH Community Center Marquee supposed "free" giving-back-to-the-community by Ryder is little more than the city participating in another ad-hoc setup scam, this time for Ryder. What Ryder is giving for free, in my view, is next to nothing as compared to what they already have and will be receiving in publicity and who knows what else monetarily from a city expenditure likely to exceed $100 thousand for this "free" project. It's not really charity by Ryder if they will be receiving something significant in return, and I believe they will be getting much in return, and perhaps already have in free publicity. There's no doubt that Ryder would like to point to this marquee, which the city's people will be stuck paying for, and additionally will be stuck paying to maintain its expensive electronics and computer. And there's no doubt in my mind that Ryder would probably like to sell such a marquee to many other cities and perhaps using the same so-called "giving-back" type of "free" offer. These video displays are being hustled to government agencies across the country, many for athletic fields. Electronic flashing outside advertising blight nationwide is what these costly signs amount to. Many are even being sold to churches. There's one in Harbor City that blinds you at night when you drive by it. Attachment submitted by Howard Longacre for item 15.e Page 24 of 545 Written Communication from H.Longacre to Council Agenda of December 9, 2008 Page 2 of 9 Advertising blight nationwide and on the Interstates is becoming a significant nuisance. This video display will obviously be expensive to maintain especially with Hermosa's corrosive salt air environment. In my view the city council is participating in little more than an advertising hustle. The city absolutely does not need a big visible maintenance nightmare blight on that corner, and all unthinking councilmembers pushing this idiot box display will be blamed for it when they run for council next should it get built and especially if it is paid for with money directly or indirectly taken from basic infrastructure needs such as street paving. Last September Ryder was given special privilege to give an advertising presentation pitch at the beginning of a council meeting. No member of the public was given anything but a 72 hour notice that the city had essentially given this outfit keys to the city on the basis of a so-called "free design" to replace as Ryder claimed, "the tired" sign there now. It's not clear to me what part of their offer is really free. By the way after Ryder was given their special extended time to hustle their sign idea, former Mayor George Barks was treated like dirt by the Mayor and City Attorney when he spoke a few seconds beyond the council dictatorship's three-minute rule. He was speaking against the ridiculous idea of giving away parking on Pacific Coast Highway so more traffic could be hustled from Redondo Beach and Palos Verdes to the El Segundo corporate rental buildings, an idea that was incredibly dumb to even be considered by the city council. It's been no secret that the Chamber of Commerce business lobby and the Community Center bunch have been looking for a way to get the city to stick in a video display or other electric sign on that corner, and for over two decades. Now it looks like the residents will again be paying for, it if not explicitly, certainly implicitly, and will then have to put up with such flashing, gaudy, trashy, visual nuisance thing on city property forever. There is in fact nothing wrong with the present sign and if it is a problem by all means take it down. It's clean, simple, and doesn't require a rocket scientist to change a few letters. The best thing to do is simply remove it or stop putting up so much crowded text on it if the sign is a problem for Public Works Director Rick Morgan's staff to deal with. How did we put up with it for 40 years that it is now suddenly such a problem for the director? The city does not need a costly marquee at that location in the first place. We have enough costly top management bureaucrats at the moment eating up all available discretionary cash. What city around here has a trashy "High-Definition" video sign for their central gateway? Lawndale on the freeway? This is just another Hermosa Beach trashy idea being back-roomed into concrete without any careful thought or planning whatever, but of course keeping Hermosa Beach trashed seems to have been the purposeful agenda here for decades. Look at the way our beach is trashed with so many unnecessary giant advertising commercial event giveaways all summer. It didn't used to be that way until the councils of the last 14 years built this costly to the city, mammoth bar and cab district. The city council permits all those beach trash events obviously to keep the bars full of drinkers and the city impacted for the residents. If the council were to put any of those beach events on the ballot, they wouldn't get very much of it approved. Its mostly advertising trash that keeps the city run down and impacted. Now you on the city council evidently want to put such stuff at the corner of Pier and PCH and without any thought whatever as to the cost, negative effects, nor real need, and without even consulting with the town's people. Oh, that's right the town's people are not to have a say in such insider things are they and they best not ever go over that council 3 minute "rule". The present marquee is to now be replaced with, as Ryder said clearly, a "High Definition" 8-foot or perhaps even larger video display. They didn't bring a single dimension for their sales-pitch Page 25 of 545 Written Communication from H.Longacre to Council Agenda of December 9, 2008 Page 3 of 9 presentation. It's in fact obviously going to be an obscene advertising vehicle for the community center staff to toy with for hours from its special little computer, setting up displays for it. It will cost much more in wasted staff time on its computer than changing the letters manually once a month. But of course City Manager Burrell has probably figured he can make some token money selling ads on the thing, forgetting the fact that it's going to be just more degradation for the whole community for any such token money to generate staff work. More wasted time on gaudy flashing trash for the city. And if one pedestrian is killed or maimed while busy traffic at that corner is distracted viewing this "high definition" video screen nonsense, well, no big deal. No shortage of people or cabs in Hermosa Beach. What's one dead or maimed kid or old fogy at that corner? The fact is that Hermosa Beach does not need an expensive high-definition video television display at Pier and PCH. No question about it, the city does not need this. It's trash TV to be at the city's gateway, just like at home on the TV. High quality elite advertising trash TV stuff. High quality expensive unneeded trash TV to be more correct. Unfortunately what is really obscene is the fact that this once again has already turned into a slimy back-room ad-hoc deal with Ryder getting the contract via this inside track first unfortunately setup by Councilmember DiVirgilio and with the city staff now just rolling the thing into existence while a lazy city council could evidently not care less. Staff management seems to love to play with such little projects rather than dealing with the mundane like paving the streets. And then Ryder must already be saying, "wow, we didn't realize how easy it is to wheel and deal such stuff in Hermosa Beach." The question really has to be asked at some point though as to whether Ryder has/will or its partners have/will be giving any campaign donations or other gratuities to any councilmembers or staff in addition to their so-called "giving-back-to-the-community"? That's a pretty common thing for "communication" aka "advertising" companies to do, is it not? Marketing. The only thing Ryder is providing for free in my view is to give a single rendering that does not even look like something that belongs on that property or any property in town. Just my view for what it's worth. Who is to be paying for the engineering? Where will that cost get hidden? Does Ryder currently have a city license? Already staff is eating up city time on this ad-hoc out of no-where nonsensical project. Would it not be better, if staff has free time on their hands, to instead be directed by the council to provide a coherent plan to pave and maintain all the city's residential streets that are in such_"tired" condition? Where is the plan and timeline for paving each and every street? Are the city streets not more important than a high-definition video sign at the corner of Pier and PCH? These residential streets are eighty plus years "tired" since they were last paved in the hill section. They are much more "tired" and needing of discretionary city money than a tacky high- definition gimmicky video display to distract and hype the bar district or other commercial impact to the PCH traffic flying by to Redondo Beach and Palos Verdes or the El Segundo corporate centers. Many things here are more needy for city money than replacing a marquee sign that is not even broken. Why is the council constantly screwing with ad-hoc costly projects and not dealing with important down to earth matters? This council is unquestionably lost and completely unfocused on what is important to the residents. It seems to just put in its time week after week on whatever comes up. The rendering provided by Ryder could have been worked up with a photo-shop program by many a high school student in an hour or so on their home computer. Ryder communications is an advertising company. They are now using the city and in my view have already gotten four or more stories in the paper with their name prominently displayed. They have had two opportunities to give a sales pitch at the beginning of a meeting with no public comment invited or even allowed, and in fact the city council in the last meeting took a Brown Act violating action by all but officially awarding a Page 26 of 545 Written Communication from H.Longacre to Council Agenda of December 9, 2008 Page 4 of 9 contract for over $100 thousand to Ryder communications and their partners. The council voted 5-0 on Councilmember Keegan's quick and dirty motion straight from Burrell's last minute added staff report, even though dated 11/20/2008 (see Ref-A below) to "…direct staff to work with Ryder Communications to implement the sign." It is very clear to me that this whole thing has already been worked up between the city manager, Ryder, and the City Council members. The meetings more and more appear to be just window dressing for what is already worked up in advance. The council saw a single photo rendering and provided for no public comment. And what's worse, Burrell verbally, but not in the 24 hour provided "staff report" made one of his sly meeting comments, "we can take 100 thousand from the Tyco fund to pay for this, we don't have an estimate yet". This is the way the council approved the Pier Avenue lop-sided poor design fiasco they still are pushing forward. No alternatives. Just take it or leave it people, we know what is best. We are the council and the city manager. Everything worked up in advance. So, talk about an absolutely outrageous ad-hoc spending project approved essentially with two sales- pitch "presentations" at the front of two council meetings. This is flat out despicable. The Hermosa city council has become 100% deceitful or just plain stupid-arrogant or both. Then further the agenda that was posted at the police station and then on the Internet stated for the first 92 hours that Ryder Communications would make a presentation at this last meeting. Didn't say anything else, i.e. as to what kind of presentation, what it was for. No one would have guessed it was a presentation under "Presentations" to essentially be awarded a de facto contract to work with staff and implement a new high-definition video display which is to be paid for with the people's money. There was no staff report during those 92 hours when most people would review the agenda materials. It looked like a regular PR presentation as often made about i.e. going green. Of course this proposed sign is far from "green" in many respects. In fact on Sunday I wondered what they were going to talk about in this Ryder presentation. Never dreamed it was to approve the sign design and award them a de facto contract for a $100 thousand sign. I learned a day after the meeting that the agenda wording was changed and a staff report was added 24 hours before the meeting, this being accomplished on the Internet but no where else. The matter needs to be completely re-agendized at least as a municipal matter and then the city council would best take no other action but to forward the entire matter to both the Public Works and Parks and Recreation commissions for their careful analysis as to what the city even wants up there at Pier and PCH and what the function and look of a new Marquee should be, and how it should relate to the architecture of the Community Center and Pier Avenue project. Then and only then you should next invite a number of art design colleges in the area to submit ideas/designs for a Hermosa Beach marquee. They would probably love to participate. Ryder's one- shot design is a dismal failure with that video screen up in the air on that goofy skeleton structure. Looks ridiculous! Sorry, but awarding an advertising company anything at all, is like awarding the design of a chicken coop to a fox! I am not at all impressed, especially after viewing both "sales" pitches made by Ryder. Best not use any city money for this that could be shifted around or used to free up other money to pave not only our "tired", but failed residential streets. It is time the city council takes care of important infrastructure for the tax paying residents and stop frittering away hundreds of thousands for the benefit of insider city wants that councilmembers evidently think are keeping them elected. I've never seen such a bunch of wheeling-dealing small-time dysfunctional council people on Hermosa's city council as you people are. You've already had an advertised hearing in the Planning Commission (nothing done) to change the city laws with respect to these video signs but it was continued (and with no re-advertising?) to the Planning Commission meeting in January. I note though that the way it was first advertised for that now-continued hearing, that the town's people would not have had a clue that it was about providing Page 27 of 545 Written Communication from H.Longacre to Council Agenda of December 9, 2008 Page 5 of 9 for all kinds of animated video and other displays that currently are banned in town. You would best make sure your Community Development Director re-advertises and specifies something more clear than he did for the public hearing that's been continued. Direct that a new Public Hearing notice be made for this hearing that spells out the item clearly. This continuation business on advertised public hearings of general community interest has long been an insidious trick by Hermosa government to eliminate public involvement by claiming to save a few pennies on re-advertising. It's been a disgrace for years, the processes used by this city's government with respect to public hearing notice and continuing matters up to three times, the grinding down and elimination of any public participation. Everything seems to being railroaded through to give Ryder all the nuts and bolts needed to put their so-called "free" contribution into concrete. Free that is except for the residents having to pay the cost. Something that none of the reporters have yet to mention in their stories. Some people actually believe that this marquee is being fully donated by Ryder. It most certainly is not. In my view they are the ones to be profiting most. Why was there just this one "design" presented? Why does the public have no say in this matter? Why is Burrell proposing to take from his "smoke and mirrors Tyco fund" $100 thousand for a sign when a few months ago he and the city council claimed the city has no extra money for anything? If there is $100 thousand available then it had best be used to pave the resident's streets. How many of you on council discussed in private with each other and/or Burrell, prior to the meeting, the taking of $100 thousand from the Tyco fund for this video sign. I doubt he would have just tossed that out at the meeting had not some or all of you talked to him in private about that first. He was clearly dropping that into the record so that in future meetings it could be stated we discussed the use of the Tyco money in a prior meeting. Do you people all know the meaning of the word deceit? Is this the way all government works from the President down to the tiny councilmember? Why does the city attorney say nothing when you do these things in meetings that clearly don't meet the requirements of the Brown Act? He sure was quick to go ballistic when Mr. Barks spoke a few seconds too long. It's more than sad the way council meetings are conducted. You wonder why so few participate. Guess what? There is a reason. Maybe that's what is desired by the council, city manager, and city attorney, that the public just pay their taxes, shut up, and stay away. By the way the agenda still says, "Please Attend". But it does not say. "Please Attend and Participate", as it should. This item, after Ryder's September sales pitch, should have first been sent to the Public Works Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission for noticed public hearings to consider the need. You are talking about putting a giant video blight on that corner which could well be a nuisance hazard to traffic, a flashing light nuisance to residents, general advertising blight, a pedestrian hazard, and little more than an attractive nuisance in general, as well as an ongoing costly city maintenance and staffing item. You've not even had a discussion of what exactly the purpose and use would be for this video sign. Is it advertising? To me it appears to be just more ad hoc waste of money the council does not have to waste. This clearly isn't a little marquee with some single color electric text as in front of El Segundo or Redondo High School, or the low-resolution image small-marquee over at the former Aviation High School. This as per what Ryder stated it's to be, is a (were you listening) "high definition" 8 foot or bigger display. Will Ryder be picking all the contractors that the city will be paying? Will his contractors thusly have the inside tract sort of like the "Cape Seal" street slurry company did? Page 28 of 545 Written Communication from H.Longacre to Council Agenda of December 9, 2008 Page 6 of 9 Any such new marquee should do nothing more than the present sign does and it should not stand out like a big blinding soar thumb. It should present no more than a few brief easily read text messages. Nothing at all like this communication, except perhaps, "Hermosa Needs New Councilmembers". That might be good. There should be no hopping, jumping, or video commercial advertisements, cartoons, cutesy pictures, etc at that corner. This should not in any manner be an entertainment device such as those you see on the Sunset Strip or Hollywood Blvd. It should be a much smaller, lower marquee with conservative ageless design character that ties into the design of the community center. What is proposed appears to just be another goofy piece of ad- hoc "art". Ad hoc junky art. Again after proper discussion in the Public Works and Parks and Recreation Commissions I recommend that you send a letter to college art/architecture departments and let their students submit some designs. Give them the specifications as to what the sign's limited purpose is and how big it should be. Let them make their presentations. No specifications exist at the moment except those that the ad firm Ryder has created to perhaps fit their own "giving" agenda. There is no rush for this unneeded ad-hoc advertising vehicle that Ryder communications will get a ton of free publicity from. If you view Ryder's presentation in your last meeting, it was again nothing more than a sales pitch. Didn't you see that? Again Ryder stated that our present school marquee looked "tired". That's just like the folks who said our Upper Pier Avenue looks "tired". It looks tired like Pier Avenue only because it's purposefully not being maintained. The council is permitting blight to occur so people can say it needs to be torn down and replaced. Created blight is a standard government trick, is it not, such that a hidden agenda can then be accomplished? The only problem with the present sign is that it needs some paint and minor repair, and also the Community Resources Department needs to stop putting so much unreadable text on it. The bottom line is that in the last meeting you clearly violated the Brown Act again. The public was not permitted or invited to talk at that point in the meeting yet you took action. The posted agenda was incomplete and did not mention the purpose of the presentation. It should have been a municipal item or even a public hearing item. This has been a total setup scam for Ryder and its partners to perhaps take over signage for the community. I note they recently signed up El Segundo to put signage through their residential community from the main highways to route people through their residential to their quiet downtown. I guess El Segundo wants to destroy their downtown and impact their residential too. Too bad. In Ref-B below is the Planning Commission item as directed by the council from the September Council "presentation" when no one was able to speak on the matter and where no plan had even been considered of what the purpose or need of such change in ordinance and the ramifications of same would be. Re: #2- Ongoing AB1234 requirements and continued receipt by two councilmembers of an improper "car allowance". California's state ethics law AB1234 was written specifically to reduce expense reimbursement abuse by politicians and other government officials. It also requires regular ethics training to be received by officials. Are all city officials receiving the required regular ethics training? Incredibly, two Hermosa councilmembers are evidently still receiving of the city treasury, a phony car allowance that's costing the city a total of $33.6 thousand during their four years in office. These two councilmembers need to immediately stop receiving these unwarranted "car allowance" payments and pay back what they've improperly received since AB1234 became law 35 months ago. This car Page 29 of 545 Written Communication from H.Longacre to Council Agenda of December 9, 2008 Page 7 of 9 allowance was a sham from the day it was first added. Former councilmember Benz referred to it openly as being "pay". Councilmembers receive a yearly stipend of $6,360 to cover miscellaneous incurred costs that their service incur, and further, councilmembers may submit expense reports for reimbursement of extraneous costs. AB1234 also requires the city to have written policies in place as to what may be expensed and which must be justified as a true expense worthy of reimbursement. It is my understanding that councilmembers are also receiving city paid public employees retirement system (PERS) as well as the availability of full health insurance for their entire family. All as result of various councils giving themselves these benefits for the volunteer elected position they hold. Such benefits might be justified for some but there is no indication in Hermosa Beach that such benefits have brought benefits to the community. In fact it seems to have made being on the council something that keeps dead wood and incompetence there. The best councilmembers seem to have asked for the least in the past. Many individuals contribute a tremendous amount of time to the city without receiving a penny. Appointed commissioners and volunteers of all kinds also often expend money of their own for their contribution to the city. Some may actually put in more time than some councilmembers have. The city has a paid professional staff. If councilmembers want to be paid, they should apply for a job. They have chosen to run and serve the electorate. The councilmember job is a volunteer elected position. No one forced any councilmember to run for council. At the minimum, the three councilmembers not receiving the car allowance should agendize for the next council meeting this matter and take action to terminate the improper car allowance and remove the improper car allowance language in any city policy. Otherwise these other three councilmembers, who are not receiving the car allowance, are in effect complicit with the two that are receiving the car allowance, by their inaction to stop those two councilmembers from taking the car allowance. It is most unfortunate that some are seemingly applying loopholes that ethically-challenged councilmembers of other cities are using to violate the very clear intent of the AB1234 ethics law, or operating on the basis that it's OK until a court finds and declares it invalid. What is it that the council does not understand about AB1234? One has to believe that the city attorney has told all of you in private most clearly that you should no longer be receiving the car allowance, no matter how much good you believe you are accomplishing for the city. I, and others, frankly wonder what in any councilmembers' mind makes him continue to improperly take this money from the people's treasury. Two of you seem very much lost in a council bubble regarding this matter.

APPROVED: DAVID PEDERSEN, CITY TREASURER TREASURER'S REPORTOCTOBER 2025 Page 66 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 2 Meeting Date: December 9, 2025 Staff Report No. 25-AS-098 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council APPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE OF DONATION FOR DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF MONUMENT SIGNAGE (Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council approve acceptance of a donation of $500,000 for the design and installation of a monument signage. Executive Summary: The City of Hermosa Beach has received a commitment for a $500,000 donation from Chuck and Missy Sheldon to fund a new digital monument sign at the Community Center and, if funds remain, additional gateway signage throughout the City. The City will manage all design, permitting, and installation processes, with donor input and a commemorative plaque recognizing their contribution. Background: The City of Hermosa Beach has received a commitment for a generous $500,000 donation from Former Mayor Chuck Sheldon and his wife Missy to fund the design, installation, construction, and maintenance of new monument signage within the City. The primary use of the funds will be the development of a new digital monument sign at the Community Center near Pier Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. Any remaining funds may be directed toward additional gateway monument signs at other locations in the City. This project has been included on the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) list for several years and has long been a priority for both the City Council and the community. Until now, it remained largely unfunded aside from a $50,000 contribution from the Chamber of Commerce. With the Sheldons’ gift, the City will be able to advance the project, and staff will explore with the Chamber the possibility of reallocating its contribution to another community-benefiting purpose, since the major funding gap has now been filled by this generous donation. The City will oversee procurement, design, permitting, and installation of the signage, with opportunities for donor input on design and final approval by the City Council and other regulatory bodies, including Caltrans and the Planning Commission. A commemorative plaque acknowledging the donors will be installed at the base of the digital sign. Page 67 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 2 Fiscal Impact: Acceptance of the $500,000 donation fully funds the design, permitting, construction, and installation of the new digital monument sign at the Community Center, with any remaining funds available for additional gateway signage. No additional General Fund appropriation is required, and ongoing maintenance costs are expected to be absorbed within existing Public Works operational budgets. Attachments: 1.

(Community Development Director, Alison Becker) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Determine the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; and 2. Waive further readings and adopt an urgency ordinance titled “An Urgency Ordinance adopting by reference the 2025 California Building Standards Codes; adopting the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code; repealing legacy codes; adopting local amendments; declaring the Urgency Ordinance to be an urgency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety; and finding the action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act”; and 3. Authorize staff to file the adopted amendments and findings with the California Building Standards Commission. Executive Summary: The State updates the California Building Standards Code every three years. The 2025 codes become effective January 1, 2026. The urgency ordinance adopts the 2025 California Building, Residential, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Energy, Existing Building, Green Building, and Referenced Standards Codes, along with local amendments tailored to Hermosa Beach. The ordinance also adopts the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code as the City’s updated property maintenance standard. The Fire Code is not part of this update; Hermosa Beach continues to adopt the Los Angeles County Fire Code by reference and will adopt the next County update when released. The ordinance reorganizes and renumbers Title 15 to match the structure of the 2025 California Building Standards Codes, consolidates all administrative provisions into a new Page 108 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4 Chapter 15.02, removes outdated references such as the Uniform Housing Code and Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, and modernizes enforcement processes. The ordinance incorporates previously adopted construction, demolition, deconstruction, and materials management requirements into Chapter 15.16. It also updates the Residential Building Records program as an optional service in Chapter 15.26. All local amendments are supported by findings in Exhibit A, which is contained within the ordinance itself. Background: Cities must adopt the most recent California Building Standards Code to maintain enforcement authority. Hermosa Beach last updated its construction codes in 2022. A comprehensive review of Title 15 showed outdated references, inconsistent enforcement procedures, and administrative provisions split across multiple chapters. The urgency ordinance: Reorganizes Title 15 to align with the 2025 California Building Standards Code Consolidates all administrative, permitting, inspection, enforcement, and appeals procedures into Chapter 15.02 Repeals outdated provisions and replaces the Uniform Housing Code and Dangerous Buildings Code with the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code Adopts updated technical amendments, including adjoining property protection, pedestrian safety, dewatering and shoring requirements, Class A roof coverings, underground electrical requirements, mechanical equipment setbacks, plumbing grease control standards, and CALGreen materials management rules Replaces the former mandatory Residential Building Record program with a modernized optional service The urgency adoption is required to ensure seamless enforcement beginning January 1, 2026.

Page 109 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4 Discussion: The urgency ordinance ensures Hermosa Beach maintains continuous enforcement authority by adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Code before the statewide effective date.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Recitals. The recitals above are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. SECTION 2. Findings Supporting Local Amendments. The City Council finds that local amendments to the CBSC and the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code are reasonably necessary due to coastal environmental conditions, exposure to corrosive marine air, dense development patterns, high groundwater, and aging utility and structural infrastructure. Exhibit A contains findings supporting each local amendment and is incorporated by reference. SECTION 3. Local Amendments Exempt from Assembly Bill (“AB”) 130. The City Council further finds that local amendments to the CBSC and the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code are exempt from AB 130 based on the following facts: a. Carryover Items Previously Adopted (AB 130 Exception: Substantially Equivalent Standards). Several of the local technical amendments(particularly those related to construction site safety, roof assemblies, and mechanical/electrical equipment placement) are substantially equivalent to standards adopted under the 2022 code cycle. These were already filed with the Commission and are being carried forward with only formatting updates or minor clarifications. These technical amendments can continue in effect so long as they are unchanged in substance pursuant to AB 130. b. Administrative Changes (AB 130 Exception: Not a Building Standard). A number of the updates (including the consolidated administration chapter (Chapter 15.02), adjustments to permit expiration timelines, stop-work authority, and cost recovery) are administrative in nature. These are not considered "building standards" under AB 130 and are therefore exempt from the moratorium on residential code changes. These updates do not impose new construction or design requirements and are aimed at improving clarity, consistency, and permit efficiency. c. Emergency Health/Safety Justification (AB 130 Exception: Emergency Standard). The entire package is being adopted via this Urgency Ordinance with findings that address immediate health and safety needs due to local coastal Page 113 of 545 Page 3 of 6 ORD NO. 25-XXXX conditions (e.g., narrow lots, groundwater issues, and marine corrosion). This Urgency Ordinance formally declares the amendments necessary for the preservation of public health and safety, consistent with the emergency standard exception in AB 130. SECTION 4. Adoption of Amendments.

Errors or omissions do not limit or restrict the City’s authority to enforce any building, zoning, fire, housing, or municipal code provision against the owner, buyer, tenant, or any future occupant. Neither the adoption of this chapter nor the preparation or delivery of any report shall impose liability on the City for any errors or omissions, nor shall the City bear any liability not otherwise imposed by law. 15.26.100 Enforcement. Because participation in this program is voluntary, failure to request or provide a Property Record Report is not a violation and does not affect the validity of any sale, transfer, or lease of property. Any fraud or misrepresentation unrelated to this program remains subject to enforcement under other applicable laws. CHAPTER 15.28 SEISMIC STRENGTHENING OF BUILDINGS HAVING UNREINFORCED MASONRY BEARING WALLS 15.28.010 Purpose and intent. The purpose of this chapter is to promote public safety and welfare by reducing the risk of death, injury, and property damage that may result from earthquakes affecting existing buildings containing unreinforced masonry bearing walls.

This chapter applies to all existing buildings having at least one unreinforced masonry bearing wall. Page 163 of 545 B. Buildings constructed of hollow concrete block or hollow clay tile not exceeding two stories may be strengthened under this chapter provided that bonding, bearing capacity, and shear capacity are verified to the satisfaction of the Building Official. C. When a reroofing permit is applied for on any building regulated by this chapter, the requirements for parapet bracing and tension wall anchors between all exterior walls and the roof shall be applied. D. Exceptions: 1. Detached one or two family dwellings and detached apartment houses with fewer than five dwelling units that are used solely for residential purposes. 2. Essential or hazardous facilities as defined in Table 16-K of the California Building Code. Such structures shall comply with the CBC. 15.28.030 Definitions. For purposes of this chapter, the definitions in the California Building Code apply. The following additional definitions apply: A. High-risk building means a non-essential, non-hazardous building with an occupant load of 300 persons or more. B. Medium-risk building means a building with an occupant load of 25 to 299 persons, including buildings exceeding 300 occupants that are occupied fewer than 20 hours per week. C. Low-risk building means a building with an occupant load of fewer than 25 persons. D. Portions acting independently: Portions of buildings shown by analysis to resist seismic forces independently may be classified separately. 15.28.040 Rating classifications. Each building subject to this chapter shall be assigned a rating classification based on the occupant load determined under the California Building Code. Classifications shall follow Table 15.28-A. Table 15.28-A – Rating Classification Classification Occupant Load I – Essential or Hazardous Facility N/A II – High Risk > 300 Page 164 of 545 Classification Occupant Load III-A – Medium Risk 100–300 III-B – Medium Risk 50–99 III-C – Medium Risk 25–49 IV – Low Risk < 25 15.28.050 Compliance requirements. A. Upon service of an order to comply, the owner shall cause a structural analysis to be performed by a licensed engineer or architect. B. If the structure does not meet the minimum seismic requirements of this chapter, the owner shall strengthen or demolish the building. C. Compliance shall be achieved by submitting the following to the Building Official: 1. Structural analysis demonstrating compliance, within 270 days of the order; or 2. Structural analysis and strengthening plans, within 270 days of the order; or 3. Plans for installation of wall anchors, within 180 days of the order; or 4. Plans for demolition, within 270 days of the order. D.

END Page 169 of 545 The chapters listed above are enacted as the reorganized Title 15 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. These chapters implement the 2025 California Building Standards Code as adopted by the State of California, incorporate locally adopted amendments reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, and topographic conditions, and adopt the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code with local modifications. Each chapter replaces the corresponding prior chapters repealed or superseded in Part A. Part C. Relocation and Continuity Notes (for City Council, Legal Counsel, and Building Standards Commission Review) The following notes identify relocation, continuation, and supersession of provisions from former Title 15 to ensure that no substantive local amendment or regulatory authority is unintentionally repealed as a result of the 2025 reorganization of Title 15. Consolidation of Administrative Provisions All former administrative provisions distributed across multiple chapters of prior Title 15, including permit processing, expiration, appeals, violations, enforcement, stop work authority, and construction site administrative requirements, are repealed and superseded by Chapter 15.02. Only substantive technical requirements are retained in the new technical code chapters. All former chapter specific appeal procedures contained in prior Title 15 are repealed. All appeals under Title 15 are now governed exclusively by the unified appeals process in Chapter 15.02, including appeals to the Building Board of Appeals and to the Administrative Hearing Officer for International Property Maintenance Code matters. All former local amendments to construction site requirements, adjoining property protection, notice, fencing, shoring, and pedestrian protection contained in former Sections 15.04.070 and 15.04.140 are preserved and incorporated into Chapters 15.02, 15.04, and 15.06 in alignment with Chapter 33 of the 2025 California Building and Residential Codes. Continuation of Substantive Chapters Substantive content from former Chapters 15.36 Seismic Strengthening of Buildings Having Unreinforced Masonry Bearing Walls, 15.40 Electric Vehicle Charging Systems; Streamlined Permitting, and 15.44 Residential Building Page 170 of 545 Records is continued without substantive change and renumbered as Chapters 15.28, 15.30, and 15.26 respectively. Only administrative text in those chapters is repealed. Preservation of Local Amendments All former local amendments to construction site requirements, adjoining property protection, notice, fencing, shoring, and pedestrian protection contained in former Sections 15.04.070 and 15.04.140 are preserved and relocated into Chapters 15.02, 15.04, and 15.06, consistent with Chapter 33 of the 2025 California Building and Residential Codes. All technical local amendments previously adopted within former Title 15 are preserved and reassigned to the corresponding chapters of the reorganized Title 15 unless expressly repealed by the ordinance. Repeal of Uniform Housing and Dangerous Buildings Codes All references in the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to the Uniform Housing Code and the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings are replaced with references to new Chapter 15.24 adopting the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code. Residential and Property Record Reports Program The mandatory Residential Building Records program formerly located in Chapter 15.44 is repealed. Chapter 15.26 continues the program as an optional Property Record Reports program available upon request. The City no longer requires any report in connection with the sale or transfer of property. Fire Prevention Code Continuity The City’s Fire Prevention Code previously adopted in former Chapter 15.20 is retained without modification and renumbered as Chapter 15.20. No changes are made to the Fire Prevention Code by the 2025 reorganization. Adoption by reference of the Los Angeles County Fire Code remains in effect. Technical Code Alignment The relocation of chapters into the 2025 Title 15 structure aligns local amendments with the chapter organization of the 2025 California Building Page 171 of 545 Standards Code and the 2024 International Property Maintenance Code for ease of use and compliance. Continuation of Grease Recovery Program The full substantive content of former Sections 15.16.070, 15.16.080, and 15.16.090 regarding grease recovery systems is preserved and relocated in full to Chapter 15.12. All prior grease control requirements remain enforceable, with administration and enforcement governed by Chapter 15.02. Continuation of Sewer Lateral and Drainage Requirements All substantive sewer lateral inspection requirements and drainage control provisions previously contained within Title 15 are preserved and relocated to Chapter 15.12, including inspection authority and the prohibition on directing drainage across adjoining property.

The intent of this chapter is to provide an optional informational report to assist owners, prospective buyers, tenants, lenders, and their agents in understanding the City’s records relating to zoning, permits, and authorized uses of a property. This chapter does not require the preparation, delivery, or receipt of a report in connection with any sale, transfer, financing, lease, or other conveyance of property. 15.26.020 Definitions. For purposes of this chapter: A. “Owner” means any person or entity holding legal or equitable title to real property.

C. “Property Record Report” means the informational report prepared by the City based on available records and any inspection authorized under this chapter. D. “Agreement of sale” means any written instrument providing for the transfer of an ownership interest in property. Page 226 of 545 15.26.030 Optional Property Record Report. The owner, prospective buyer, or authorized agent may request a Property Record Report from the City at any time. The City is not required to prepare or deliver a report for any transaction. 15.26.040 Application, contents of report, and review of records. Upon application and payment of the required fee, the Building Official shall review available City records and conduct an exterior review of the property.

The requesting party is solely responsible for obtaining, distributing, or retaining the report for their own purposes. 15.26.055 Buyer inquiries and clarification. A buyer or authorized agent who receives a Property Record Report may submit written questions to the Community Development Department regarding the contents of the report. Responses are informational only and based on available City records. 15.26.060 Physical examination of property (optional). Page 227 of 545 Upon request of the owner, the City may conduct a physical examination. Interior inspection requires the owner’s written consent. Any report shall include the following advisory: “This report is based on available City records and any exterior review or interior inspection authorized by the owner. Interior inspection is voluntary and not guaranteed. The report is informational only and does not represent compliance with any City code, nor does it certify the structural or legal condition of any building or improvement.” 15.26.070 Exceptions.

The City shall deliver the Property Record Report within thirty days of receiving a complete application and required fees, unless delayed by conditions outside the City’s control. 15.26.090 Nonliability of City. The issuance of a Property Record Report is not a representation by the City that any property, structure, or use complies with applicable laws. The report does not guarantee the structural condition, safety, legality, or habitability of any building or improvement. The report is based solely on available City records and any review or inspection authorized by the owner. Errors or omissions do not limit or restrict the City’s authority to enforce any building, zoning, fire, housing, or municipal code provision against the owner, buyer, tenant, or any future occupant. Neither the adoption of this chapter nor the preparation or delivery of any report shall impose liability on the City for any errors or omissions, nor shall the City bear any liability not otherwise imposed by law. 15.26.100 Enforcement. Because participation in this program is voluntary, failure to request or provide a Property Record Report is not a violation and does not affect the validity of any sale, transfer, or lease of property. Any fraud or misrepresentation unrelated to this program remains subject to enforcement under other applicable laws.

The Council may terminate Employee at any time, regardless of his ability to perform his duties, upon payment of a severance equal to the lesser of: (a) payment equal to six (6) months of Employee’s then applicable base salary; or (2) payment equal to the applicable Base Salary for the unexpired Term of this Agreement (“Severance Payment”). (a) Continuation of Health Coverage (“COBRA”). City shall provide Employee reimbursement for the costs of Employee’s COBRA health insurance premiums for three (3) months following Employee’s termination or until Employee finds other employment, whichever occurs first (“COBRA Reimbursement”). The COBRA Reimbursement amount shall not exceed the amount paid for Employee’s health insurance premiums at the time of his termination. (b) Waiver Release. The Severance Payment and COBRA Reimbursement are contingent upon Employee executing a release and waiver of any and all of Employee’s claims against City (its Council Members, officers, and employees), and a covenant not to sue any of those parties in a form acceptable to City. If Employee fails or refuses to provide City with a release of liability, the Council may release Employee without cause without Severance Payment or COBRA Reimbursement. Page 258 of 545 Page 7 of 10 2 (c) California Government Code Section 53260 (“Section 53260”). The Parties intend this provision to comply with Section 53260, which limits severance benefits to an amount equal to Employee’s monthly salary multiplied by the number of months remaining on the unexpired term of the Agreement. The Parties also intend this term to comply with the provisions of Section 53261 that limits health benefits, which may be continued for a maximum number of months remaining on the unexpired term of the Agreement or until Employee finds other employment (whichever occurs first). (2) With Cause. In the event Employee is terminated for cause, he shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits. “Cause” shall include the following reasons: (a) conviction of a crime, whether misdemeanor or felony. For purposes of this section, a plea of nolo contendere shall also be considered a conviction; (b) failure to follow a directive of the Council after written notice of said failure to Employee approved by a simple majority of Council members; (c) failure to perform duties and responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the relevant City ordinances, municipal code, and other standards of professional conduct after written notice approved by a simple majority of the Council; (d) continued abuse of non-prescription drugs or alcohol that materially affects the performance of Employee’s duties after written notice approved by a simple majority of the Council; or (e) repeated and protracted unexcused absences from Employee’s office and duties after written notice approved by a simple majority of the Council. (a) With Cause Procedure. In order to terminate for cause, the Council must deliver to Employee a written statement of charges and its intent to terminate for cause. Following delivery, Employee shall then have ten (10) calendar days to challenge the termination by setting forth his request to challenge in writing. Within such ten (10) day period, Employee may also demand a hearing upon the specifications. Failure to submit a written response or demand a hearing within the ten (10) calendar day period constitutes a waiver of the right. If a hearing is demanded, the hearing will be conducted in closed session unless a public hearing is requested by Employee. Employee may produce evidence and argument to the Council. If a written response is submitted but no hearing is demanded, the Council shall review its decision based upon the response. The Council’s decision following review of the written response and/or presentation at hearing shall be final and without right of appeal. Employee has no reinstatement rights. (b) Suspension. The Council may suspend Employee with full pay and benefits at any time, or without pay for a period of up to three (3) weeks, at any time during the term of this Agreement; but only where a simple majority of the Council votes to suspend Employee. (c) Assembly Bill 1344 Compliance. Employee shall fully reimburse City for any and all amounts paid by City in the event that Employee is convicted of a crime involving the abuse of his office or position pursuant to California Government Code Sections 53243-53243.4. Page 259 of 545 Page 8 of 10 2 d. Leave Balances. On separation from City employment, Employee shall be paid for all eligible unused accrued leave balances (including balances as to vacation, floating holidays, and other outstanding accrued leave balances if any; including any other accrued leave balances that either must be paid upon separation under applicable law or under the applicable terms of this Agreement). In the alternative, Employee may apply some or all of such leave time to service credit for retirement purposes if permitted by CalPERS under applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Accumulated leave balances shall be paid at Employee’s hourly salary rate at the effective date of separation. In the event Employee dies while employed by City under this Agreement, Employee’s beneficiaries or those entitled to City Manager’s estate shall be entitled to Employee’s earned salary and any in-lieu payments for accrued benefits (including compensation for the value of all accrued leave balances that either must be paid upon separation under applicable law or under the applicable terms of this Agreement). e. Statutory Requirements. This Agreement shall be deemed to incorporate by reference the provisions of California Government Code Sections 53243 et seq., as those provisions may be amended or renumbered. 12. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder may be given by personal delivery or by United States certified mail postage prepaid, addressed to Parties at the addresses set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. 13. Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California. Venue shall be in Los Angeles County. 14. Acknowledgment. Employee acknowledges he has had an opportunity to consult legal counsel in regard to this Agreement; has read and understands this Agreement; is fully aware of its legal effect; and has entered into it freely and voluntarily, and based on his own judgment and not on any representations or promises other than those contained in this Agreement. 15. Non-Waiver. The delay or failure of either Party at any time to require performance or compliance by the other Party of any of its obligations or agreements shall in no way be deemed a waiver of those rights to require such performance or compliance. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of a waiver is sought. The waiver of any right or remedy with respect to any occurrence or event shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to any other occurrence or event, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or of the offending provision in any other circumstance; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Receive an update on the City’s Residential Parking Permit Program; and 2. Consider any changes or modifications to the Program. Executive Summary: Following City Council direction at the previous meeting on the Residential Parking Program Update, staff has continued analysis and discussion of two specific policy items: 1. Parking Permit Eligibility Requirements; and 2. Proof of Residency Requirements These items are being revisited to ensure the City’s parking policies continue to promote equitable access, responsible use of limited parking resources, and fiscal accountability. Background: At its prior meeting, the City Council reviewed proposed updates to the Residential Parking Program. During deliberations, Council directed staff to return with additional information and recommendations on two areas of concern: Parking Permit Eligibility Policy: Establish a City policy denying residential parking permits to individuals who have outstanding fees owed to the City until those balances are paid. Proof of Residency Requirements: Implement clear and consistent documentation requirements to verify residency for property owners seeking eligibility for Residential Parking permits. Here is a table of the previous and recent City Council–adopted residential parking permit program criteria. Page 272 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 10 Category Previous rule Current (Council- adopted) rule Eligibility Must live within the City’s impacted parking area (near-beach zones). Must live within the City’s impacted parking area (near- beach zones).

If the holiday falls on a weekend, event permits are not available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Page 273 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 10 Past Council Actions Meeting Date Description January 23, 2024 City Council received a staff presentation on issues identified during the 2023–24 parking permit season and approved staff’s recommendation to only accept one address per resident, eliminate the replacement of lost or stolen guest permits, limit Annual Employee Permits to one per person, and institute a 2- year loss of parking permit privileges for misrepresentation/fraud in applying for a permit or the misuse of parking permits. Additionally, City Council raised the parking permit price to $60 per year, the daily lot pass price to $150 for (12-hour parking) and the 24-hour lot pass to $250, and the daily metered lot pass to $12. January 14, 2025 City Council received an update on the Citywide Parking Program and approved agreements with Parkmobile, LLC and Turbo Data Systems, Inc. Mayor Pro Tem Seamann requested, and a majority of City Council supported, directing staff to return with an item highlighting Residential Parking Program feedback for possible modifications. January 28, 2025 City Council received an update on the Citywide Parking Programs and approved a motion to establish the acceptable forms of proof of residency to add a Driver's License consistent with State law, and in the event the person does not have a vehicle, proof of residency for a hang tag can be established via bank statement or credit card statement at the address requested. March 11, 2025 City Council received an update on the Employee Parking Permit Program and create two separate monthly employee permits. One employee permit would allows employee parking on the upper level of Lot C. A second employee permit restricting parking for the yellow meters to only Hermosa Avenue via a new sticker. May 27, 2025 City Council received and filed an update on the City’s Residential Parking Permit Program and directed staff to bring back the item for discussion on or before October 2025. October 28, 2025 City Council received and filed an update on the City’s Residential and Employee Parking Permit Program and directed staff to bring back the item for continued discussion. Page 274 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 10 Meeting Date Description November 17, 2025 City Council approved criteria for issuance of a fourth permit, granted the City Manager the authority to issue additional permits for special circumstances, and directed staff to bring back the item for continued discussion on 1.) banning permit issuance for those with debt owed to the City and 2.) review of proof of owner residency. Analysis Permits for Applicants with Outstanding Balances Council requested that staff explore the possibility of disallowing the issuance or renewal of residential parking permits to any applicant with outstanding amounts owed to the City. This could include unpaid parking citations, fines, fees, or delinquent business or residential licenses. Prohibiting residents from purchasing city parking permits if they owe unrelated debts to the city presents both administrative and policy trade-offs. On the positive side, the policy can enhance debt collection, encourage compliance, and reinforce fiscal accountability by linking city privileges to responsible payment behavior. It provides a practical mechanism for recovering overdue balances without relying on costly enforcement actions. However, the approach may create administrative and legal challenges, generate disputes over unrelated debts, and invite criticism if perceived as overly punitive or disconnected from parking management objectives. The City currently follows a person-based ban, where only the individual violator is prohibited from obtaining parking permits. Below are two possible approaches, 1.) person-based and/or 2.) address-based, along with their high-level pros and cons: a. Banning the Individual Applicant (Person-Based Ban) Pros Holds the actual violator accountable. Does not penalize other residents or future tenants. Lower legal and fairness concerns. Cons Harder to enforce if people reapply under different names. Requires stronger ID checks. May be a weaker deterrent since others at the address can still get permits. Page 275 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 10 b. Banning the Address (Address-Based Ban) Pros Strong deterrent for the whole household. Easier to administer and enforce. Prevents workarounds by switching applicants. Cons Can unfairly affect new or uninvolved residents. Likely to increase disputes and customer complaints. Raises legal and equity concerns. Could impact rental properties with frequent turnover. Staff recommends pursuing the person-based ban, as it most directly targets the violator, minimizes unintended harm to other residents or future occupants, and reduces legal and fairness concerns associated with penalizing an entire address for the actions of a single individual. Owner Residency Requirement At its October 28, 2025 meeting, the City Council approved the use of utility bills and similar documents to provide more options to meet the permit program’s proof-of- residency requirements to address issues faced by renters, new move-ins, and others who may not have an updated driver’s license. However, as discussed during the November 17, 2025 Council Meeting, this flexibility could also allow part-time residents in the City to use the aforementioned options to meet the program’s residency requirements whether or not they live in the City on a permanent, full-time basis. It is important to note that “permanent” residency is not a requirement under the current or formerly adopted permit resolution, nor is it defined in the resolution. Proving “permanent” residency, in an administrative sense, would be difficult at best, requiring verification through indirect and imprecise means. While the Council previously relied on a permit applicant’s driver’s license and vehicle registration address to match their physical address as proof of “permanent” residency in Hermosa Beach, even this does not guarantee that person is a permanent resident of Hermosa Beach. Under the law, a person’s “domicile” is the place considered a person’s true, fixed, permanent home and principal establishment, to which they have the intention of returning whenever absent. It is different than “residence,” which is a more general term for where a person currently lives, which can be temporary. Legally, the law recognizes that a person can have only one domicile at a time. With this in mind, Staff offers the following options for Council’s consideration: Page 276 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 6 of 10 Option 1 Revise the current permit parking resolution to state that permit applicants can only apply for a parking permit if their legal domicile within the City, and/or have the permit application include an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury that the Hermosa Beach address for which they seek a parking permit(s) is their legal domicile. Option 2 Council could reverse their recent vote and reestablish the requirement that the Hermosa Beach address on an applicant’s license and vehicle registration must match the address for which they seek a parking permit(s) within the City. Option 3 Stay the course with the most recent change which allowed permit applicants to use alternative forms for proof-of-residency, including water bills, electric bills, internet bills and the like to issue parking permits without changing the resolution further on this point and without requiring a signed affidavit. Although no formal data is collected, anecdotal feedback and the small number of complaints received suggest that part-time residents who may have longer-term homes elsewhere constitute a very small minority of applicants. As a reminder, applicants cannot receive permits for multiple residences (this was previously allowed under the owner guest permit program, which was discontinued in 2023), and any part-time resident pass issued would simply count against the total allowed at that one address. Additional Issues Various other issues, questions and scenarios have been raised throughout the discussion of the parking permit program, which are discussed as follows: 1. Who’s eligible to receive a permit? a. Are short-term renters eligible? Short term renters would not meet proof-of-residency document requirements. b. Are second or third-homeowners eligible? As discussed above, adjustments could be made to require that the permit applicant confirm their legal domicile applies to one address in Hermosa Beach or allow any property owner who can prove residency under the new proof-of-residency rules to be eligible which may be a small number of applicants. c. Are non–Hermosa Beach residents eligible? Permit applicants must provide documentation that shows their address is within the impacted zone. Page 277 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 7 of 10 2. Proof of Residency & Proof of Occupancy a. Will the City continue relying on California state requirements for vehicle registration and driver’s licenses? The Council has already approved alternative forms for proof-of-residency, including utility bills or similar documents, including but not limited to CA vehicle registrations and a CA driver’s license. b. What documentation is now required to verify residency — full-time occupancy versus part-time or intermittent use? As discussed above, the resolution does not require nor define full-time occupancy vs. part-time or intermittent use, nor does it define or require that residency be “permanent.” 3. Vehicle Types & Restrictions a. Are school buses, RVs, camper vans, or other non-standard or non-daily-use vehicles allowed to park in residential permit zones? The current parking permit resolution does not define nor distinguish between vehicle types. If a vehicle exceeds the size of a single space for which a parking permit is issued, it would be subject to parking enforcement and fines as appropriate. b. What rules apply to vehicles covered with car covers—specifically regarding visible license plates and visible parking permits? Covered cars are allowed, but the license plates and any required parking permits must remain visible or accessible. An officer may temporarily remove part of the cover as needed to inspect the plate or registration. 4. Permit Limits & Verification a. What are the limits per household, per licensed driver, and per vehicle? The standard limit is 3 residential permits per residence A 4th permit may be allowed with a signed affidavit and City Manager may approve a 5th and 6th permit on a case-by-case basis. The permit system stops any one person from getting parking permits at more than one address. b. Must each permitted vehicle be registered to the same Hermosa Beach address? Only vehicle sticker permits require registration at the Hermosa Beach address. The guest/transferable permit is not tied to a specific vehicle. c. Must each applicant’s driver’s license list that Hermosa Beach address? The Council has already approved alternative forms for proof-of-residency, including utility bills or similar documents. Page 278 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 10 d. What safeguards will prevent issuing permits to individuals who do not live full- time at the address (e.g., students, parents, adult children, employees, dog walkers)? The resolution does not define or require full-time occupancy, permanent residency, or distinguish between part-time or intermittent use. It’s hard to confirm full-time residency when someone provides valid proof-of-residency documents. 5. Use of Off-Street Parking a. How will off-street parking availability be considered when issuing or denying permits? This is only factored in with consideration of a fourth permit (affidavit) or additional permits above four (City Manager review) b. Will driveway-blocking factor into eligibility? It can be a consideration from applicants seeking more than four permits 6. City Manager Discretion & Additional Permits a. What criteria will the City Manager use when evaluating requests for additional residential permits? Eligibility for a 5th or 6th permit will be reviewed by the City Manager who will assess an applicant’s current parking availability and parking needs and may include a site visit to verify such conditions. b. Is there a maximum number of discretionary permits? Council has approved two additional discretionary permits beyond the four permits that applicants can apply for administratively. c. Given the potential for misuse or inconsistent application, what safeguards will be implemented? Any verifiable fraud or abuse would result in the revocation of all parking permits issued to the applicant and they would be banned from the program for two years. d. The Council explicitly voted NOT to allow owner permits — what is the City’s plan to ensure that does not occur even under discretionary authority? The permit system prevents one individual from applying at multiple locations. Each request for more than four permits while be thoroughly reviewed to ensure compliance to permit policy. 7. Public Parking Impacts & Coastal Zone Considerations a. How many public parking spaces are currently occupied by outdoor dining decks? About 35 spaces Page 279 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 9 of 10 b. What is the City’s plan to offset these losses? The City is evaluating options to offset lost public parking spaces while meeting Coastal Commission requirements that prohibit reducing overall coastal-access parking. This includes exploring ways to reorganize parking supply and use management tools, such as adjusted meter programs or alternative parking, to replace or compensate for any removed spaces. c. What is the City’s plan to ensure adequate public access as more spaces are now allocated to residential parking? The City is evaluating options to maintain adequate public access even as more spaces are allocated to residential parking. This includes exploring adjustments to parking management, ensuring sufficient visitor spaces, and implementing measures that preserve convenient access to coastal and commercial areas. d. How will the City ensure compliance with the Coastal Commission’s standard that residential permit programs “must not adversely impact public parking supply or visitor access to coastal recreation areas”? The City is evaluating options to ensure its residential permit program complies with the Coastal Commission’s requirement that it not reduce public parking or hinder coastal visitor access. This includes exploring strategies to manage parking demand, maintain adequate public spaces, and adjust program elements as needed to protect coastal access. 8. Party Passes (Visitor Permits) a. With allowing for unlimited visitor “party passes,” what is the City’s plan to manage volume—particularly during peak summer months? Party passes (event permits) are limited to 2 events per year, with a maximum of 10 permits per event, and a $10 fee. Staff will monitor the usage this permit year and return to Council with program feedback. b. What controls will be implemented to prevent excessive impacts on public access? The event permit limits—both the annual cap and the per-event cap—serve as the controls to prevent excessive impacts on public access. Fiscal Impact: Implementing a policy that restricts residential parking permit eligibility for applicants with outstanding balances owed to the City is expected to have a minimal administrative cost associated with verifying account status, which can be absorbed within existing staff workloads. The policy may result in a modest increase in City revenue as applicants resolve unpaid fees to regain eligibility, and could also reduce instances of uncollected receivables over time. No significant capital or ongoing operating expenses are anticipated.

Page 284 of 545 Applicants with Outstanding Balances Policy Concept: Restrict residential parking permits for applicants owing: - City fines or fees - Delinquent business licenses Pros: - Encourages compliance and payment - Supports fiscal accountability Cons: - Administrative and legal complexities - Risk of perceived punitive approach Page 285 of 545 Applicants with Outstanding Balances 1. Person-Based Ban (Individual Applicant) • Holds the violator accountable and reduces fairness concerns. • More difficult to enforce—requires thorough verification. • May provide weaker deterrence since the household can still obtain permits. 2. Address-Based Ban (Legally Risky/Not Recommended) • Provides a stronger deterrent and is easier to enforce. • May unfairly impact new or uninvolved residents. • Raises legal and equity concerns, especially for rental properties with turnover. Page 286 of 545 Full-Time Residency Concerns At the previous meeting, City Council raised concerns that the updated proof of residency requirements may allow part-time or non- resident homeowners to obtain parking permits. The resolution does not distinguish between full-time and part-time occupancy and does not require residency to be “permanent.” Options for addressing this are provided for Council’s consideration. Page 287 of 545 Full-Time Residency Verification Options Option 1: Affidavit Requirement • Require an affidavit, under penalty of perjury, confirming full-time residency. Option 2: Reinstate Driver’s License Requirement • Reverse the recent Council-approved action and reinstate the driver’s license requirement as proof of residency. Option 3: Maintain Current Council-Approved Residency Requirements • Accept utility bills and similar documents. • No affidavit required. • Anecdotal feedback suggests part-time residents are a small minority. *It is difficult to truly verify full-time residency when applicants provide the required proof of residency documents.

(Community Development Director Alison Becker) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Review and provide feedback on the proposed amendments to streamline Business License Applications Procedures for Commercial Business License and Home Occupation Application; and 2. Direct staff to forward the proposed amendments for the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission to review and hold a public meeting on said changes. Executive Summary: This item proposes amendments to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 17.08.020 (D) to simplify and expedite the business license process for both commercial and home-based businesses. The amendments are intended to enhance customer service, reduce processing time, and improve consistency and transparency in the City’s business licensing practices. The proposed changes align with the City Council’s goals of supporting local economic vitality, improving efficiency in City operations, and fostering a business-friendly environment while maintaining compliance with applicable regulations. Background: The City currently regulates business licensing under Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 5.04. Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 17.08.020 further defines the uses permitted in the R-1 Single-Family Residential Zone, including commercial uses such as home occupations. While the existing procedures for commercial busineses and home occupations provide necessary regulatory oversight, they were developed prior to the implementation of the City’s current digital permitting systems and do not fully reflect best practices for online, streamlined, and customer-centered processes. Staff conducted a review of the City’s business license processes in coordination with Administrative Services, Community Development, and the City Manager’s Office. The Page 291 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3 review identified several opportunities to modernize and clarify existing requirements for both commercial business and home occupation licenses. Analysis: To modernize and streamline the City’s business licensing process, the proposed amendments refine and clarify application requirements, ensuring consistency and transparency in documentation standards for both commercial and home-based businesses. The following updates to Section 17.08.020(D) will simplify and modernize home occupation requirements: Proposed Amendments to HBMC Section 17.08.020 (D) – Home Occupations: 1. Combine Subsections (1) and (2): Merge the current subsections (1) and (2) to streamline standards related to permitted floor area and storage of inventory or materials. This amendment would allow one room within a dwelling unit to be used for the home occupation, including the storage of related inventory and supplies. 2. Update Subsection (7): Replace the reference to “Planning Department” with “Community Development Department” to reflect the current department title. 3. Update Subsection (11): Updating the title from “Planning Director” to current title, “Community Development Director.” This change will ensure our code reflects the most accurate and up-to-date organizational structure. 4. Delete Subsection (17): Remove subsection (17), which requires a physical inspection of the premises prior to permit approval. Staff inspections for home occupations are no longer necessary given the limited, low-impact nature of most home-based businesses. Removing this requirement will reduce staff workload and expedite permit issuance without compromising code compliance or public safety. Additionally, inspections of home offices are no longer common practice in neighboring jurisdictions. Business License Application Documentation Requirement: The City has historically allowed business-license applicants who pay a license tax based on gross receipts to self-report their gross-receipt amounts. However, to better align with best practices used in other cities, such as Manhattan Beach, the City will begin requiring these applicants, when necessary, to provide documentation supporting their reported gross receipts. Acceptable documentation may include: Schedule C, Income Statement, Profit and Loss Statement, Financial Statement, Ledger Sheet, or a Declaration from the Taxpayer. Fiscal Impact: Page 292 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3 There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions. Attachments: 1.

Next Steps Page 321 of 545 PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO STREAMLINE BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATION PROCEDURES City of Hermosa Beach December 9, 2025 Page 322 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 3 Meeting Date: December 9, 2025 Staff Report No. 25-CMO-079 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH FLOWBIRD AMERICA, INC., TO REPLACE PARKING METERS IN LOTS A, B, AND C (Senior Management Analyst Ken Bales) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Authorize the purchase of multi-space parking meters from Flowbird America, Inc. through a cooperative purchasing agreement with Omnia Partners for an amount not to exceed $400,000 (Attachment 2); 2. Authorize the City Attorney to authorize modifications to the proposed agreement, if needed; and 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed agreement, with the City Clerk attesting the proposed agreements, subject to approval by the City Attorney. 4. Appropriate $115,000 to the Police Department Equipment Replacement Fund to cover the purchase of Beach Lot multi-space meters Executive Summary: The City currently has a total of 14 IPS Group, Inc (“IPS”) mutli-space parking meters that cover Lot A, Lot B, and Lot C (“Beach Lots”). These meters have been in place for over 10 years and have reached the end of their useful life. Additionally, the meters were implemented without a lettered keypad for license plate entry since current processes utilize space numbers to associate spaces to paid parking sessions. With the implementation of parking automated license plate reader (“ALPR”) technology over the next few months, it is necessary to replace these meters with upgraded meters that include lettered keypads. Staff utilized this opportunity to research and recommend a new vendor, Flowbird America, Inc. (“Flowbird”), that provides additional technology capabilities and significant operational cost savings over the lifespan of the meters. The agreement with Flowbird will also provide the City the option to purchase additional parking meters to begin the citywide transition from single space to multi-space meters in CIP 113. Background: The current Beach Lot meters provided by IPS have reached the end of their useful life with over 10 years in service. The 14 meters are allocated across the Beach Lots with a Page 323 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3 total of four in Lot A, two in Lot B, and eight in Lot C (Attachment 1). The meter utilization varies amongst the meters with some meters having significantly more transactions each month depending on location. The low utilization of certain meters, high adoption rate of ParkMobile LLC (“ParkMobile”) pay by app services, and upgraded technology within the Flowbird meters doesn’t necessitate the 1:1 replacement of multi-space meters in the Beach Lots that traditionally would occur which is why staff is recommending the purchase of 11 replacement meters. This reduction in meters will yield ongoing operational cost savings in addition to saving approximately $24,000 in capital expenditures. The new Flowbird meters can handle multiple business rules and are highly configurable for future changes to the parking environment. The Flowbird meters will integrate with the City’s existing parking vendors including Turbo Data Systems, Inc. (“Turbo Data”) and Genetec, Inc (“Genetec”), for parking permits and citation issuance, and ALPR enforcement. Additionally, Flowbird will provide the installation and configuration services as part of the initial deployment and work with staff to install at specified locations. In addition to the Beach Lot parking meter replacements, staff recommend utilizing the proposed agreement (Attachment 2) as the procurement vehicle to purchase and install the 11 multi-space meters that will replace 170 single space meters as part of CIP 113 – Phase 1 and beyond. Analysis: The City is at an inflection point with its physical parking meters. In a June 2023 parking meter assessment, the vast majority of meters were rated as in poor or very poor condition. Instead of replacing 1,613 parking meters citywide on a 1:1 basis, staff have recommended a 16:1 replacement of single space meters with multi-space meters across the City in CIP 113. Once completed, this action will result in hundreds of meters being removed from the public right-of-way, upgraded technology with ability for customizations to the parking environment, and significant operational cost savings over the life of these new meters. The first phase of CIP 113 will focus on Pier Ave and Lot D and see a total of 170 single space meters replaced with 11 multi-space meters. The pricing model of IPS and Flowbird differ tremendously. IPS currently charges a monthly fee of $9.35/month per single space meter and $30/month per mutli-space meter. These monthly fees have been rising year- over-year with the latest in July 2025 being 20%. In addition to the monthly fees, IPS charges a $.07 and $.13 transaction fee on all credit card transactions, for single-space and multi-space meters, respectively. Currently, credit card transactions account for approximately 95% of all parking revenue. Flowbird charges a flat $68/month per meter fee regardless of the number of transactions at that meter. For CIP 113 – Phase 1 alone, the monthly cost savings would result in an annual cost savings of $10,098 before the transaction fee savings are taken into consideration. Page 324 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3 The Beach Lots account for approximately a third of parking revenue citywide and the cost savings from these locations will be significant. Utilizing historical data from 2024, the City spent a total of $27,917 in transaction fees and $5,040 in monthly subscription fees for a total operational expenditure of $32,957 for the 14 Beach Lot multi-space meters. During this same period if the 11 Flowbird meters were installed, the City would have only spent $8,976 in operational costs for a total annual cost savings of $23,981 (Attachment 3). This amortized over the projected 10-year lifecycle of the Flowbird meters is $239,810 in cost savings to the City over continuing with IPS. Fiscal Impact: The City’s wide physical parking meter infrastructure is at the end of its useful life due to aging individual meter conditions. With upgrades to the parking environment, newer meters are necessary to work with the City’s implemented parking technology. The upfront capital expenditure is expected to cost approximately $200,000 for the 22 new Flowbird multi-space meters that will replace the 14 Beach Lot meters and CIP 113 – Phase 1 meters. Sufficient funds are currently budgeted within CIP 113 to fully cover the capital costs for Lot D and Pier Ave. However, an appropriation increase is necessary to cover to additional costs for the Beach Lot meters. There is sufficient existing operating appropriation to support the ongoing annual service costs. Over the expected 10-year lifecycle of the new meters, operational cost savings are projected to exceed the initial capital investment, resulting in long-term budgetary savings for the City.

Executive Summary: At its September 9, 2025 meeting, Councilmember Keegan requested, with support from Mayor Saemann, staff return with an informational item regarding renaming the Community Resources Department (Department) to the Parks and Recreation Department. At its November 3, 2025 meeting, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) provided input and demonstrated support on the renaming of the Department to the Parks and Recreation Department. Background: Per Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Section 2.20.010, “the functions of the Department are to provide opportunities for educational, recreational, cultural, and social service activities for all age groups and to develop and maintain in an attractive and safe manner the leisure areas and facilities of the city and to ensure that such facilities are suitable for a wide variety of purposes.” The Department’s key services and programs include: Recreation and enrichment programs, including classes, camps, and leagues; The P.A.R.K. After School Program; The Hermosa Five-O Senior Activity Center; Department hosted events, such as: o Coastal Cleanup (in partnership with Heal the Bay) o Community Movie Nights o Hermosa Beach Concert Series o Sand Snowman Contest o Surfers Walk of Fame Weekend; and Page 353 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3 o Veterans Day Ceremony. Facilities and open space management through facility rentals and lease agreements; Special Event Permit Program for events held on public property; and Film/Still Photo Permit Program for film/still photo activity on public and private property. Past Commission and Council Actions Meeting Date Description September 9, 2025 Councilmember Keegan requested, with support from Mayor Saemann, directing staff return with an informational item on renaming the Department to the Parks and Recreation Department. Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission: November 3, 2025 The Commission provided input on renaming the Department to the Parks and Recreation Department. Discussion: The current name of the department, Community Resources, may not accurately convey the nature of its services to the public. The department provides a wide range of recreational, event, facility, and permit-related services, and the Department name may not be immediately identifiable with those functions with the current name. The name Community Resources is unique to the City of Hermosa Beach within the South Bay region among departments that provide recreation services. Table 1 below outlines the names of departments in several neighboring South Bay cities that offer recreation services, most of which include “recreation” to more clearly communicate the services offered.

While the updates would be needed are primarily administrative, there would be one-time costs associated with implementing the transition, such as costs to replace Department signage across facilities and order new Department staff uniforms. Staff would seek to manage expenses within the existing department budget. Fiscal Impact: The estimated costs to order new Department staff uniforms is $2,000. One time costs to replace Department signage across City facilities and other administrative and or legal costs are to be determined, following completion of a full inventory and assessment of signage requiring updates.

(Environmental Programs Manager Douglas Krauss) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council receive and file this Informational Item regarding allowing all vehicles to park in public EV parking spaces. Executive Summary: At its August 26, 2025 meeting, Mayor Saemann proposed a future agenda item to consider allowing all vehicles, regardless of the type of fuel they use, to park in the City’s public electric vehicle charging spaces. The request was supported by Councilmember Keegan. Staff explored the background of the City’s public electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the policies that underlying the network, and the feasibility of the Mayor’s proposal. Background: The City of Hermosa Beach has a history of promoting EV charging. The City currently has 34 publicly-accessible EV chargers and 26 chargers for its own fleet (Attachment 1). As described in the City’s General Plan, PLAN Hermosa, promoting the use of EVs and increasing access to EV charging for our community are key City goals. On November 29, 2022, during a discussion of the City’s various sustainability incentive programs, City Council directed staff to begin charging public EV charger users for both meter and electricity fees. Historically, these fees were not charged to promote the use of EVs. Due to the age of the City’s EV charger inventory, staff was unable to immediately implement the charging of fees at public EV chargers. Staff determined it would be more practical to replace almost all the chargers citywide to allow the charging of fees, provide more reliable equipment, ensure a comprehensive maintenance plan, and to standardize the disparate equipment and networking options currently in place. Staff began developing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for qualified companies to procure and install the chargers citywide for both public use and the City’s fleet needs. This would Page 360 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3 include a five-year operations and maintenance program and all necessary networking software and support to be able to monitor energy usage and fee payments. The RFP would also require prospective bidders to perform due diligence to ensure existing infrastructure was adequate for installation of new equipment. A key requirement of the RFP is that proposals should result in no new costs to the City and shall include a comprehensive maintenance agreement Three chargers, installed and managed under an existing agreement with the vendor, would be excluded as they are in good condition and can be adapted to collect fees under the same schedule as the proposed agreement. Staff expects to release the RFP soon and installation completed before summer of 2026. Discussion: Per the California Vehicle Code 22511a, the City may designate City-owned and operated parking stalls and spaces as an EV stall or space by resolution or ordinance. Though the City currently has signage at its public EV spaces designating them as exclusively for EVs, the City did not adopt a resolution nor ordinance codifying these spaces as exclusive for EVs. Consequently, the City is not currently able to enforce EV-only restrictions on these spaces. Should Council choose to continue using these spaces as EV-only, a resolution or ordinance must be adopted specifying this exclusivity. Ultimately, the Council has the authority to designate these spaces as they see fit. There are a number of factors to be considered in making a decision on allowing all cars to park in EV spaces: 1. Such a policy would likely prevent the City from procuring a “no-cost” agreement for replacing EV chargers citywide (as described above). Potential vendors rely on their earnings from the EV charger fees to amortize their costs for such a project, including procurement, installation and ongoing maintenance. Allowing non-EV vehicles to park in these spaces may result in the City having to replace its current public EV chargers at its own expense. This cost is estimated to be approximately between $200,000 - $400,000. 2. The benefit to parking availability would be small. There are nearly 2,000 metered- parking spaces in the City’s Coastal Zone. The 34 public EV charging spaces affected by the proposed policy, are distributed at various locations throughout the City and, would account for less than 2% of that total parking inventory, thus not offering a significant addition of parking options. 3. The proposed policy would further reduce the ability for visitors with electric vehicles to find charging locations as there are limited options (e.g., private property charging) available beyond these public spaces. 4. This would set a potentially confusing precedent as there are no other local agencies that offer such a parking option. Staff was unable to find an example of any other agency that offers such a policy. Page 361 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 3 5. If the Council wanted to free up the current spaces designated for EV charging, it may be more efficient and cost effective to just eliminate public EV chargers. If the spaces are to remain restricted to EV use, Council may want to consider adopting a resolution or ordinance to make the restriction enforceable. Fiscal Impact: Should Council choose to proceed with making all public EV parking spaces available to all vehicles regardless of fuel type, staff would need to change the signage at all public locations. This would cost roughly $2000 in materials and staff labor. As mentioned above, this change would also likely require the City to fund its own replacement of public chargers at an estimated cost of $200,000 - $400,000.

Approve the tree replanting plan for Valley Park and the Greenbelt (Attachment 3); 2. Authorize an increase of $15,000 to the annual project contingency for the landscape maintenance services contract with Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., increasing the total annual contingency from $50,000 to $65,000 for the remainder of the contract; and 3. Authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments up to the amount of the revised contract contingency. Executive Summary: Staff proposes planting up to 52 new trees to replace the 26 trees that have been removed from Valley Park and the Greenbelt (Attachment 1). In July 2025, the City released a public statement that ten (10) dead, dying, or diseased trees at Valley Park were slated for immediate removal to ensure public safety. Eleven (11) trees were removed as part of that work effort and staff, with assistance from the City’s landscape contractor and arborists, identified fifteen (15) additional trees that posed a safety risk and were removed. Staff proposes replacing the removed trees at a 2 to 1 ratio using species selected by the City’s certified arborists to suit the specific conditions of each site (Attachment 2). Staff is seeking a $15,000 increase in the contract spending authority with Merchants Landscape Services, Inc. to cover this additional work and ensure there is adequate spending authority remaining to address other as-needed services. Background: On July 23, 2025, the City released a public statement announcing the immediate removal of ten (10) dead, dying, and diseased trees at Valley Park during the week of July 28, Page 371 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5 2025 to mitigate risk of limb loss or tree failure, and ensure public safety, and that the replacement with 20 trees would be discussed at the Public Works Commission. These ten (10) trees were removed due to poor health conditions and their proximity to locations where recent tree failures had occurred; one (1) additional tree was also removed due to proximity of the dead trees and structural integrity, posing potential safety risks in areas frequently used by the public. All trees were carefully inspected for the presence of actively nesting birds before the work proceeded; none were found. The removals were prompted by three (3) incidents in which large branches fell within the park. While no injuries were reported, staff proactively conducted a detailed inspection of the park to address any remaining hazards. Concurrent with removal efforts for the first 11 trees, staff worked closely with the City’s landscape contractor Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., their arborist, and the City’s independent arborist to conduct a detailed inspection throughout Valley Park and along the Greenbelt, which identified fifteen (15) additional trees requiring removal. The tree removals were completed outside of the normal tree trimming schedule (October through January) due to the urgency to protect public safety in the busy parks. The decline in health of these 26 trees is attributed to multiple factors, including oversaturation of turfed areas that weakened root systems, species unsuited to site conditions, close planting spacing that suppressed growth, and infestations such as the Dotted Paropsine Leaf Beetle affecting eucalyptus trees. Replanting Plan Staff developed a replanting plan assuming a 2 to 1 replacement ratio. The City’s certified arborist prepared a list of tree species appropriate for replanting at Valley Park and the Greenbelt, considering both turf and non-turfed conditions (Attachment 2). Staff reviewed these options and selected the tree species, and identified locations, reflecting the recommendations best suited for each site’s conditions, long-term tree health, and maintenance requirements (Attachment 3). The proposed tree locations were selected near the areas of removal, to the greatest extent possible, with adjustments made to ensure proper spacing and site suitability; although staff is recommending alternative locations for some of the trees due to the tight existing tree canopy coverage and need for trees at other locations in the City. In some cases, replanting a new tree directly at a removal site is not feasible due to residual root systems or conflicts with utilities. For example, replanting a new tree at the former Ficus tree site, in front of the Rotary Club on Valley Drive, is not recommended because of the root zone impacts and proximity to overhead utilities. One (1) of the removed trees is a palm tree located in front of the Community Center, for which staff does not recommend replacing with a similar 20-foot palm due to the high cost of approximately $8,000 and history of this species not doing well in this location. Instead, staff recommends replanting two trees of a different species selected from the City’s Page 372 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5 certified arborist tree list at an alternate location as identified in the proposed planting plan. Public Works Commission At the September 17, 2025 Public Works Commission meeting, staff presented the tree replanting plan for review and consideration. The Commission was supportive of staff recommendations for the tree replanting plan, with the exception of one tree, near the intersection of Valley Drive and Gould Avenue, that could potentially obstruct vehicle sightlines. In response, staff adjusted the plan by relocating the proposed tree from that intersection to an alternative location. Parks and Recreation Commission Staff presented the revised tree planting plan at the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission meeting on October 7, 2025 for additional review and consideration. The Commission expressed support for the proposed plantings and provided a number of comments regarding potential future uses of Valley Park, including areas identified in the Bark for a Park report for a possible dog park, the area used for Shakespeare in the Park, the sandy hill on the west side of the park, and existing pathways along the Greenbelt. Staff reviewed these comments and confirmed that the suggested dog park areas did not overlap with any of the proposed planting sites. In response to the feedback regarding potential conflicts with Shakespeare in the Park and the sandy hill, six trees originally proposed for Valley Park were replaced with six new locations along the Greenbelt between 8th Street and Herondo Street. During public comment, a resident offered to donate four Torrey Pines and two Medallion trees to the City to support the replanting efforts. The City’s certified arborist reviewed and approved the tree species and proposed locations. Past Commission and Council Actions Meeting Date Description City Council May 24, 2022 Staff presented the Award of a Contract for Landscape Maintenance Services to Merchants Landscape Services, Inc Public Works Commission September 17,2025 Staff presented the tree replanting plan following the removal of trees at Valley Park and the Greenbelt to review and provide feedback. Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission: October 07, 2025 Staff presented the tree replanting plan following the removal of trees at Valley Park and the Greenbelt to review and provide feedback Page 373 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5 Discussion: The Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 12.36 only provides requirements for replacement of parkway trees and does not directly address replanting requirements for trees in City parks or medians; however, staff has generally followed the 2 to 1 replacement ratio for the replacement of trees in parks where possible. The proposed replanting plan utilizes a 2 to 1 planting ratio that would result in 52 replacement trees. Attachment 3 details the proposed replanting plan, for consideration by City Council, that was developed by staff with input from the Public Works Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission. The City intends to retain a licensed tree contractor to source and plant the replacement trees which is estimated to cost $450 to $850 per tree, for a 24-inch box size tree, depending on the tree species, resulting in an anticipated overall cost of approximately $20,700 to $39,100 to plant 46 trees. The remaining 6 trees, pledged for donation are smaller than the 24-inch box size and will be planted by City crews. Landscape Maintenance Contract Citywide tree maintenance is overseen by the Public Works Department and is completed by the City’s contractor, Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., who is responsible for the care of approximately 1,800 City-owned trees located in City parks, parkways, and center medians. The City continues to conduct additional inspections of City maintained trees at other locations throughout the City and may lead to further tree removals. The removal of the twenty-six (26) trees totaled approximately $15,000. A portion of the removals, specifically the dead trees, were covered under the base landscape maintenance contract with Merchants Landscape Services, Inc., while the diseased and declining trees required additional work beyond the scope of the existing contract and were paid through the contact contingency. At its May 24, 2022 meeting, the City Council awarded the landscape maintenance services contract to Merchants Landscape Services, Inc. in the amount of $2,173,789 for a four-year term beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2026, with an option to extend for one additional year. As part of this action, the Director of Public Works was authorized to establish a $50,000 annual contingency over the contract term, to cover as-needed landscape work, and the City Manager was authorized to approve contract amendments up to the amount of the approved project contingency. Given the added costs associated with the diseased tree removals and the ongoing tree care needs, staff recommends increasing the annual project contingency by $15,000 to ensure adequate funding is available to complete the necessary work while preserving flexibility for other as-needed landscape services under the contract. The Public Works Department regularly relies on this contingency amount to complete as-needed work. Page 374 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5 Fiscal Impact: The FY 25-26 City adopted budget includes $80,000 for trees and as-needed tree services in the Public Works Administration budget; this is sufficient to cover the cost of the replacement trees and the requested increase in the contract contingency for Merchants Landscape Services, Inc. Staff will transfer $15,000 from the Public Works Administration budget to the Parks Contract Services account to accommodate the corresponding $15,000 increase in the annual contingency (from $50,000 to $65,000) for the Merchants Landscape Services, Inc. contract, to cover the additional costs associated with the removal of diseased trees. The increase in contingency ensures Public Works has the necessary flexibility to complete as-needed services under the existing contract during the fiscal year.

Page 442 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 5 Meeting Date: December 9, 2025 Staff Report No. 25-PW-088 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council PURCHASE OF VEHICLES FOR THE CITY FLEET (Public Works Director Joe SanClemente) Recommended Action: Staff recommends City Council: 1. Authorize the purchase of one Class C Aerial (Bucket) Truck with Service Body for a total amount of $286,826 from PB Loader Corporation via the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program (Contract No. 080521-PBL) to replace a 2003 Chevrolet 6500; 2. Authorize the purchase of one Ford Super Duty F-250 with Service Body for a not to exceed amount of $75,000 from National Auto Fleet Group via the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program (Contract No. 091521), or other Cooperative Purchasing Program, or on equal or better terms through purchase from a dealership as vehicles become available, to replace a 2019 Ford F-250; 3. Authorize the purchase of a Toyota Sienna XLE Hybrid, for a not to exceed amount of $57,100 from the Manhattan Beach Toyota through a Cooperative Purchasing Program, or on equal or better terms through purchase from a dealership as vehicles become available, to replace a 2014 Ford Explorer; 4. Add estimated revenue of $45,912 in the Equipment Replacement Fund; 5. Appropriate $51,196 to the Public Works Lighting/Landscaping/Medians Equipment Replacement Fund to cover the purchase and estimated outfitting costs of the Ford Super Duty F-250; and 6. Appropriate $63,600 to the Police Department Equipment Replacement Fund for the purchase and estimated outfitting of the Toyota Sienna. Executive Summary: The Public Works Department is seeking to replace three vehicles in the City fleet. The Public Works Department requires replacement of two essential fleet vehicles, including the 2003 Chevrolet 6500 aerial bucket truck, which has exceeded its useful life and has required more costly repairs to maintain certification to allow for safe operation, and a 2019 Ford F-250 service truck that was recently declared a total loss after a crash. These vehicles support critical maintenance functions and replacements are needed to meet ongoing operational demands. The Police Department requires replacement of a Detective Bureau (DB) vehicle, a 2014 Ford Explorer, that has previously been identified Page 443 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 5 for replacement as it was approaching the end of its useful life, but was recently damaged beyond repair. Staff recommends purchase of the bucket truck through a cooperative purchase agreement. Due to ongoing supply-chain constraints, which have limited availability of the F-250 Pick-up Truck and Toyota Sienna (DB vehicle), staff requests procurement flexibility, including authorization for a Cooperative Purchase Agreement, or a purchase on the same or better terms through a dealership, subject to availability. Background: The Public Works Department manages its fleet across City departments in accordance with the City’s Equipment Replacement Schedule and annual condition assessments, evaluating factors such as age, mileage, maintenance history, cost-effectiveness, safety, and operational needs. The City is in need of replacement of three vehicles, including two for the Public Works Department and one for the Police Department. Public Works Department: The City’s aerial bucket truck has been in service for more than twenty years and has reached the end of its useful life. Timely replacement of the aerial bucket truck and service truck is essential to sustaining reliable field operations. The aging aerial truck is experiencing escalating maintenance costs, to maintain the required annual certifications necessary for safe operations and it has become increasingly difficult to source parts for its 20-year-old platform. These constraints limit the City’s ability to perform critical infrastructure functions, including streetlight repairs, facility maintenance, and emergency response. With only one bucket truck in the Public Works Department fleet, it is essential that this vehicle is ready and available in good and safe working condition, particularly during times of emergency or inclement weather. The Department’s 2019 Ford F-250 service truck was recently damaged in a crash and declared a total loss and is in need of urgent replacement to support ongoing operational demands. Police Department: The Police Department also relies on a properly equipped fleet to support daily patrol and investigative functions. A vehicle assigned to the Detective Bureau was recently damaged beyond repair in a car accident, requiring staff to repurpose a patrol unit and reducing the number of vehicles available for regular patrol coverage. The loss of the Detective Bureau (DB) vehicle has disrupted investigative operations and reduced the availability of patrol units needed for frontline response. The DB conducts specialized investigative and surveillance activities that require a dedicated, unshared vehicle. Redirecting a patrol unit for DB use diminishes patrol capacity, increases wear on remaining units, and limits operational flexibility, particularly with the Department operating at full staffing levels. Page 444 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 5 A properly equipped replacement vehicle will restore the DB’s ability to conduct uninterrupted investigative work while keeping patrol vehicles available for core public safety duties. A dedicated replacement is necessary to avoid operational delays and ensure the Department’s ability to conduct covert surveillance and investigative work. Discussion: Staff recommends purchasing a bucket truck from PB Loader Corporation via the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program (Contract No. 080521-PBL) to replace the 2003 Chevrolet 6500 (Attachment 1). The $286,826 purchase price is lower than the anticipated cost of $310,630 that was included in the FY 2025-26 budget for this vehicle. The Ford F-250 replacement vehicle for Public Works is currently available through a Cooperative Purchase Agreement from National Auto Fleet for approximately $75,000, which includes the necessary outfitting. While the Cooperative purchase agreements typically provide the most competitive pricing for vehicles, staff was able to find the same vehicle, and outfitting, at South Bay Ford for just $69,000 which would provide a better value for the City, although the availability is not guaranteed (Attachment 2). Staff is seeking sole source approval to purchase the F-250 from a dealership, but also seeking flexibility to purchase from a Cooperative Purchase agreement, for a not to exceed price of $75,000, should the vehicle no longer be available following Council approval. The not- to-exceed limit provides for an approximate 10-percent contingency. The Toyota Sienna XLE Hybrid replacement vehicle for the Police Department is not currently available through Sourcewell, or the California Department of General Services, Cooperative Purchasing Programs, due to high regional demand. Staff contacted several dealerships and was able to obtain quotes from three local dealerships that had availability and determined that Manhattan Beach Toyota offered the lowest available price at $51,550 (Attachment 3). Staff is seeking approval to purchase from a Cooperative Purchase agreement, or in the alternative from a dealership on the same or better terms, for a not to exceed price of $57,100, should the vehicle no longer be available following Council approval. Per Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 3.12.140(E), purchases made through cooperative purchasing agreements, maintained by state, county, or other public agencies, are exempt from the City’s formal bidding procedures, allowing the City to expedite the procurement process while ensuring competitive pricing received in a formal bidding procedure completed by another public agency. And where such goods, services, and supplies can be obtained on the same or equal terms from another source, competitive bidding is not required because it would confer no advantage on the City. Environmental Analysis: This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as the purchase of replacement vehicles will not Page 445 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 5 result in a significant environmental impact. Staff evaluated the procurement in accordance with the City’s Clean Fleet Vehicle Purchasing Policy, California Air Resources Board (CARB) guidance, and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1191. While electric and alternative-fuel technologies are advancing, commercially viable zero-emission aerial trucks that meet Public Works’ operational requirements are not yet available, and current production timelines and charging infrastructure limit immediate deployment. Staff confirmed that available vehicle options meet applicable CARB and SCAQMD requirements for this procurement. The City has received confirmation from CARB that it has met its current Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Milestone requirement and is in compliance; therefore, a ZEV purchase exemption is not required for these service vehicles. Staff will continue to monitor clean- technology advancements and reassess electrification opportunities during future replacement cycles as viable options become available. Fiscal Impact: The total projected cost for the three vehicle replacement purchases and related outfitting is $425,426. Projected costs are estimated to cover potential price fluctuations due to supply-chain conditions and pricing and availability adjustments. Public Works Department: The proposed Public Works vehicle acquisitions is estimated to cost up to $361,826. This would cover both the vehicle purchase and outfitting for the aerial bucket truck for $286,826 and up to $75,000 for the Ford F-250 Super Duty truck. Staff is anticipating receiving $45,912 in insurance reimbursement proceeds from the 2019 Ford F-250 to apply towards its F-250 Super Duty replacement. Currently, the FY 2025-26 adopted budget includes $310,630 for the Bucket Truck replacement in the Public Works Lighting/Landscaping/Medians Equipment Replacement Fund. The $286,826 purchase price of the bucket truck is lower than the budgeted Bucket Truck purchase by $23,804. Staff is requesting to apply the $23,804 remaining budget from the Bucket Truck purchase savings and an additional $51,196 appropriation to cover the estimated purchase and related potential price fluctuations of the Ford Super Duty F-250. Staff intends to apply the anticipated $45,912 insurance reimbursement from the final total-loss evaluation for the damaged 2019 service truck to cover the $51,196 additional appropriation. Staff would add the corresponding $45,912 as estimated revenue to the Equipment Replacement Fund for the insurance reimbursement proceeds. Page 446 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 5 Police Department: The total cost for the proposed Police Department Toyota Sienna purchase and outfitting is estimated to cost up to $63,600. The purchase price of the Toyota Sienna is estimated to be $57,100 which includes a contingency, subject to pricing and availability adjustments. The necessary outfitting and accessories are estimated at approximately $6,500. Staff is requesting an appropriation of $63,600 from available Equipment Replacement Fund fund balance to purchase and outfit the Police Department Toyota Sienna.

Page 506 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 1 Meeting Date: December 9, 2025 Staff Report No. 25-CMO-081 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council TENTATIVE FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Attached is the current list of tentative future agenda items for Council’s information. The tentative future agenda provides a preliminary preview of topics planned for discussion at upcoming City Council meetings over a specified period, typically the next three months. The items listed in this document are "tentatively" scheduled, meaning they are subject to change and should not be considered final until the official agenda for each meeting is posted. This document is a work in progress and offers a glimpse into the City's priorities and planned discussions, allowing stakeholders to anticipate and prepare for potential topics of interest. Key Features of a Tentative Future Agenda Document: 1. Tentative Schedule: Each agenda item is assigned a tentative date, indicating when it is expected to be discussed. These dates are provisional and may be adjusted based on various factors. 2. Work in Progress: The document is continuously updated as new items emerge, priorities shift, or additional information becomes available. This flexibility ensures City Council can address the most pressing issues in a timely manner. 3. Transparency and Communication: By publishing a tentative future agenda, the City aims to maintain transparency with residents, businesses, and other stakeholders. It helps the community stay informed about potential topics of discussion and provides an opportunity for public engagement and preparation. 4. Fluid Scheduling: The scheduling of agenda items is fluid until the official agenda for a specific City Council meeting is posted. Changes can occur due to various reasons, such as new developments, additional preparatory work required, or changes in workload or priority.

After the transition, the monthly report was updated to include Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) and McCormick Ambulance information and continues to be uploaded to the website. The following report provides details regarding services provided for the month of October 2025. Background: At the February 11, 2020 Council meeting, City Council requested monthly reports on the City Council agenda under consent calendar. Monthly reports began to appear commencing with the July 14, 2020 City Council agenda. The enclosed report reflects the services for October 2025. Past Council Actions Meeting Date Description February 11, 2020 City Council requested monthly reports on the City Council agenda under consent calendar. July 14, 2020 Monthly reports began on City Council consent agenda. Discussion: The October 2025 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment—October 2025 LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance Monthly Report). Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance work together to provide emergency medical services (EMS) to the Hermosa Beach community. LACoFD has two apparatus stationed at Station 100 including one assessment engine (Engine 100) staffed with a Fire Captain, Page 526 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 4 a Fire Engineer, and a Firefighter Paramedic; and a paramedic squad (Squad 100) staffed with two Firefighter Paramedics. The paramedic squad (Squad 100) only responds to calls for service exclusively within the City of Hermosa Beach. It does not provide mutual aid, thereby remaining available for calls within Hermosa Beach. Each LACoFD apparatus has the capability to provide basic emergency medical care known as Basic Life Support (BLS) to medical patients. In addition, the paramedic squad has advanced equipment, including medications, and responds from within the City to address Advanced Life Support (ALS) calls, such as a stroke or heart attack. McCormick Ambulance is one of the emergency medical transport companies within Los Angeles County. LACoFD does not conduct patient transport; therefore, unincorporated areas are included in the fire department transport contracts with various providers. Contract cities are responsible for negotiating and contracting with a medical transport provider for their community. Within the South Bay, many of the cities have contracted with McCormick Ambulance to conduct emergency medical transportation including the City of Hermosa Beach. When LACoFD is dispatched, McCormick Ambulance is also dispatched as the City’s emergency medical transportation provider. LACoFD provides life-saving medical care on scene and continues ALS level care as the patient is transported to a local hospital. In the case of a BLS level call, monitoring and care are safely provided by one of the two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) assigned to the responding ambulance. LACoFD follows industry standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which outlines call transfer times and total response times. The NFPA standard for call transfer time is that each call will be answered within 60 seconds 90 percent of the time. Additionally, responding units are to be enroute within 60 seconds for EMS related calls and 80 seconds for structure fire calls. NFPA further stipulates that for EMS calls, responding units must arrive on scene within 8 minutes and 59 seconds 90 percent of the time. The October 2025 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that there were no calls with a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. Staff is working with LACoFD to incorporate the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority (RCC) call transfer time data, currently provided semi-annually, into the monthly reports. The RCC call transfer data provides information regarding each call for service from the time that the call first comes into the 9-1-1 system to the time that it is transferred to LACoFD. McCormick Ambulance McCormick Ambulances are staffed by two EMTs who can provide and transport BLS patients independently and, with the support of LACoFD paramedics riding in the ambulance, can also transport ALS patients. Page 527 of 545 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4 In October 2025, McCormick Ambulance responded to 61 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The October 2025 report indicated that two calls resulted in delayed Code 3 responses. A Code 3 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to a presumed life-threatening emergency, which is typically classified as an ALS call. According to the McCormick Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed eight (8) minutes, fifty-nine (59) seconds” for a Code 3 incident. Of the two delayed Code 3 calls, the average response time was ten (10) minutes, thirty- nine (39) seconds with the longest single response time at ten (10) minutes, fifty-three (53) seconds. There was two delayed Code 2 responses in October 2025. A Code 2 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to an emergency classified as a basic life support or BLS call. According to the McCormick Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed fifteen (15) minutes, zero (0) seconds” for a Code 2 incident. Of the two delayed Code 2 calls, the average response time was sixteen (16) minutes, twenty-eight (28) seconds with the longest single response time at sixteen (16) minutes, forty-five (45) seconds. Staff reviewed the October 2025 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses: Distance: (1) The responding crew encountered heavy traffic along the route Multiple Calls: (3) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time McCormick Ambulance demonstrates a continuous effort to detect and correct service level performance deficiencies by identifying the reason for delayed response times, issuing personnel performance notices when mandatory response requirements are not met and releasing personnel upon continued performance issues. McCormick Ambulance also provides training and continuing education to staff to improve skills and service delivery. Although the emergency medical transport units arrived on scene within the allowable timeframe for 57 calls in October 2025, patients were provided timely life-saving emergency medical care on scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics. When LACoFD arrives on scene, it takes paramedics 5 to 10 minutes to conduct the required treatment protocols prior to commencing transport with McCormick Ambulance. During the patient treatment phase, the requested ambulance is typically on scene waiting for the paramedics to complete their treatment protocols even if the ambulance response is delayed. Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance are committed to providing excellent emergency medical care, customer service, and response to the residents and visitors of Hermosa Beach.
