Staff Report
REPORT 20-0723
December 7,2017,the Council acted to temporarily suspend the long-time policy of a 9.6 month
mayoral term and increase those terms to approximately one year to correspond with the five-year
terms of office for those elected in 2017 and 2019.The Council action to extend the terms of elected
officials was taken to accommodate the City’s election date change from November of odd-numbered
years to November of even-numbered years to coincide with statewide general elections starting in
2022 (ordinance adopted December 13, 2016).
The attached list of current committee assignments (Attachment 2)has been updated as needed to
reflect changes made throughout the year.The City Manager’s Office will revise the list to reflect the
new Mayor and Mayor pro tempore committee changes made this evening.
Re-assigning committee delegates/alternates to the remaining committees (consistent with the
Council policy to maintain permanent representatives whenever possible)or re-affirming current
committee assignments,along with adding or deleting committees as appropriate,will be considered
at a future meeting.Any delegate/alternate change to the South Bay Cities Council of Governments
(SBCCOG) would require the adoption of a resolution.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact.

RESOLUTION NO. 20-7265
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH REGARDING APPOINTMENT OF THE
MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEMPORE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings.
1. As a general law city, the provisions of Government Code section 36801 govern the selection of
the City’s mayor and mayor pro tempore.
2. The city council of a general law city may choose any one of its members to serve as mayor and
any one of its members to serve as mayor pro tempore. The mayor and mayor pro tempore serve at
the pleasure of the city council and may be replaced at any time.
3. The criteria for selecting which councilmembers will serve in these capacities and the length of
time they will serve is entirely within the discretion of the city council.
4. The City has typically followed a nonbinding mayoral rotation practice based on seniority and
election vote tallies. Although past City Councils periodically deviated from the anticipated
rotation, the November 2019 deviation from that practice is the subject of pending litigation against
the City.
5. It is the intent of the City Council by adopting this policy to replace and supersede any and all
previous mayoral rotation/selection practices and policies to the extent such policies exist.
SECTION 2. Mayoral Term.
1. In November 2020 and 2021, the City Council may select from among its membership a
mayor and a mayor pro tempore on a date during the month of November. Subject to the
provisions of paragraph 3 of this Section 2, the term may be for one year.
2. In November 2022, at the City Council meeting at which the results of the election are
certified, and each 9.6 months thereafter, the City Council may select from among its
membership a mayor and a mayor pro tempore. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3
of this Section 2, the term may be for 9.6 months.
3. The mayor and mayor pro tempore will serve until the next mayor or mayor pro tempore
have been selected. Consistent with Government Code section 36801, the mayor and/or
mayor pro tempore may be replaced at any time during their respective terms.
SECTION 3. Selection of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore.

2. Consistent with Government Code section 36801, the mayor and the mayor pro tempore
shall serve at the pleasure of the City Council.
SECTION 4. Discretionary Criteria.
The City Council may, in its sole discretion, consider the following factors when selecting
a mayor and mayor pro tempore:
1. The mayor pro tempore may next succeed the incumbent mayor.
2. Each Councilmember may be afforded the opportunity to serve as mayor pro tempore and
mayor during his or her term of office.
3. A Councilmember should generally serve one full year on Council before selection as
mayor or mayor pro tempore.
4. Priority for selection of mayor pro tempore may be given to a member who has not
previously served as mayor and thereafter to the member with the longest continuous
service since last serving as mayor pro tempore and mayor.
5. A member serving as mayor or mayor pro tem should generally not serve multiple
consecutive terms as mayor or mayor pro tempore.
6. The member selected to serve as mayor should be able to preside over City Council
meetings, facilitate fair debate, work effectively with City staff, and respect and adhere to
City policies, the 2016 Hermosa Beach Leadership Guide and the City Manager form of
government.
SECTION 5. Superseding Effect.
This Resolution and the mayoral selection policy set forth herein rescinds, replaces and
supersedes any and all previous practices and policies, written or unwritten, pertaining to
the subject hereof. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to imply or suggest that any such
policy exists or that any such practice has been binding on the City Council.
SECTION 6. Severability.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Resolution is
found to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the remaining provisions of this
Resolution.

TEMPORARY CITY COUNCIL SUB-COMMITTEES
North School Reconstruction Project [Formed 01/31/19] (Armato, Massey)
Target Decommission Date: January 2022
The Subcommittee represents the City on the joint City and Hermosa Beach City School District
collaborative to negotiate elements of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two parties
delineating mutually agreed upon outcomes through the North School Reconstruction Project. The
Subcommittee is further charged with overseeing the fulfillment of the North School Reconstruction Project
Memorandum of Understanding which was executed on February 27, 2019. The anticipated school opening
date is December 2020. The anticipated adoption of the NTMP is March 2020 with implementation from
March-December 2020.
Public Asset Naming Subcommittee [Formed 12/17/19] (Armato, Campbell)
Target Decommission Date: June 30, 2021
At its meeting of November 18, 2019, the City Council unanimously supported to consider dedicating the
Hermosa Beach Community Garden in former Mayor/Councilmember Jeff Duclos’ name. The City does
not currently have a formal process for naming a place after someone. Therefore, staff recommended that
Council form a Sub-committee to work with a Sub-committee of the Parks & Recreation Commission on
the dedication process. At its meeting of September 22, 2020, the City Council changed the subcommittee
name from the Community Garden Dedication Subcommittee to the Public Asset Naming Subcommittee.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE INFORMATION
California Contract Cities Association (CCCA)
CCCA is comprised of 74 member cities. The objective of the organization is to assist
member cities by advocating and advancing the benefits of the contracting model,
protecting local control, embracing public/private partnerships and providing educational
opportunities for members. Annual events include a Municipal Seminar in May, a Fall
Conference, and a Sacramento Legislative Tour in January. Board members meet the
second Thursday of each month.
Independent Cities Risk Management Association (ICRMA)
The ICRMA is comprised of 20 member cities located in the Los Angeles and Orange
counties of Southern California. Members pool their resources under a Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA) to support their individual self -insurance programs. The JPA allows
but does not require a Councilmember to represent the City on the ICRMA Governing
Board, and the City Council has appointed staff members to serve as delegate and
alternate (as many other member cities have done) since specific risk management
expertise is desirable and the bi-monthly meetings occur during the day.
League of California Cities – Los Angeles County Division
The League of California Cities, comprised of several geographical divisions throughout
the State, provides legislative advocacy on behalf of cities, specifically on matters of
good government and maintaining local control. The League’s annual conference in
September rotates between northern and southern California.

holds meetings at 6 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month (OR during the months
of January, March and May) in the Los Angeles metropolitan area (usually Luminarias
Restaurant in Monterey Park), providing members with the opportunity to exchange
ideas/information and share the advantages of cooperative advocacy.

November 10, 2020 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
City Manager’s Office/City Clerk: Please post this Supplemental written testimony Re: Rotation of
Mayor with Item 7-a of the 6-PM Regular City Council Meeting of November 10, 2020. Thank You.
November 9, 2020
To: Hermosa Beach City Council (Mary Campbell-Collins, Hany Fangary, Justin Massey,
Michael Detoy, Stacey Armato), City Clerk Eduardo “Eddie” Sarmiento,
City Manager Suja Lowenthal and Contract City Attorney Michael Jenkins.
From: Howard Longacre, Resident
Re: Item 7-a, “Rotation of Mayor”.
City Council and others:
All in the following are my views, suggestions, and recommendations.
Sorry for the lengthy written comments for what should be such a trivial happy Council process,
i.e., this item 7-a’s rotation of ceremonial Mayor.
Last year during the rotation of the Hermosa Beach ceremonial Mayor and ceremonial Mayor Pro
Tem, the Council certainly well-remembers that essentially three members of the Council, without
admission, did evidently violate California’s ‘Ralph M Brown Open Meeting’ Act during the
council’s first voting of those to be the next (and still presently) ceremonial Mayor and ceremonial
Mayor Pro Tem, prior to then redoing these ceremonial position appointments in a council
meeting at a later date and with the same wrong result.
Those three councilmembers, per my understanding, and also in my view, were and are
Councilmembers Stacey Armato, Mary Campbell-Collins, and Justin Massy, all of whom, in both
cases were the ones to vote Mary Campbell-Collins and Justin Massey to fill the respective
ceremonial positions.
Mary Campbell-Collins was herself appropriate to be appointed ceremonial Mayor at the time per
traditional policy, however Justin Massey absolutely was not.
However Mary Campbell-Collins herself, possibly not fully-understanding the long-and-well-
established collegial policy (regardless of how councilmembers of the past got along)
nonetheless, participated in the totally and completely improper scam of leapfrogging Justin
Massey over Hany Fangary into the ceremonial Mayor Pro Tem position.
These three councilmembers had prior-to-the initial meeting apparently decided in one manner or
another, in violation of California’s ‘open meeting act’, to penalize one of their duly-elected council
colleagues, Councilmember Hany Fangary, by cavalierly leap-frogging Justin Massey over Hany
Fangary into the ceremonial position of “Mayor Pro Tem”, and without any discussion whatever in
a prior meeting that a decades-and-decades old, collegial tradition used to rotate the ceremonial
Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem would not be followed.
26
Page 2 of 5
Supplemental testimony from H. Longacre (Resident) to Item 7a
November 10, 2020 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
As a result of concerns raised by the public after the action, significant and strong concerns
raised, the action was subsequently redone in a later-date meeting at the suggestion of the City
Attorney, perhaps to sort-of cover these three-amigos apparent ‘open meeting’ law violation,
without any of them, as I recall, honorably admitting even slightly to having accomplished any
wrong-doing whatever.
However, redoing the action solved absolutely nothing of course, as the bell had already been
rung during their initial violation, that is, that they could simply violate with impunity the de
facto decades-and-decades, long-established council policy of how the “rotation was to take
place”.
These three mentioned-councilmembers, the apparent-violators, perhaps simply said to
themselves, “Hey, we can actually do this and get away with it, as it’s apparently no big deal”.
And perhaps the City Council’s two contracted employees, i.e. their never re-bid contract city
attorney for life operation, and their city manager, surely both fully-understand that chaos and
animosity between councilmembers in General Law cities alleviates much threat that they may
themselves be replaced or come under a more unified city council’s scrutiny.
However, perhaps what smarter and less self-absorbed councilmembers would have done, after
making such a stupid blunder, would be to place their own pettiness behind them, and return to
the decades-old rotation and instead had picked Councilman Fangary in the proper Mayor Pro
Tem position on redoing, “curing and correcting”, the improperly accomplished rotation.
However only one vote changed with then relatively-new Councilmember Michael Detoy changing
his vote to that of tradition, evidently understanding that there was a de facto, well-established
policy, as well-documented in the minutes and recordings of past decades-and-decades of city
council meetings. I.e., As minutes, records and recordings since long before he and likely all of
the present councilmembers were even born.
I.e. As again stated variously in the city council meeting archives for decades. I.e., “In the
tradition of the past I as Mayor of Hermosa Beach make a motion to appoint Mayor Pro Tem xxx
to be Mayor through xxx date”, and then with the new ceremonial Mayor motioning for the next
ceremonial Mayor Pro Tem to be basis the next councilmember in the rotation schema. If that’s
not documentation of a well-established policy having been collegially accomplished every ~nine
months for decades-and-decades, what is?
Nonetheless, what this clearly did was to establish the fact that three particular members of the
City Council, Stacy Armato, Mary Campbell-Collins, and Justin Massey believed they were above
all else in this small town, and especially above Councilmember Hany Fangary and the residents
who had in fact elected Councilmember Hany Fangary twice.
Then to make things yet worse, these three councilmembers took it upon themselves to then
further politicize a previously collegial policy, in effect for decades-and-decades, by unnecessarily
changing just weeks ago the way the city’s ceremonial Mayor and ceremonial Mayor Pro Tem are
to be selected. In other words a present self-centered controlling-majority continued on with their
foolish ways to isolate out anyone they disagreed with basis their personal abstract gratification
and egotistical needs.
27
Page 3 of 5
Supplemental testimony from H. Longacre (Resident) to Item 7a
November 10, 2020 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
Btw, normally such a policy, one such as raising one’s own council salary, or other such self-
serving council purpose, i.e. a policy only effecting councilmembers themselves, even if
abstractly, would not ethically take place until those voting for such matter (at least some of them)
had then served for re-election. In other words such self-serving policy would not take place until
the voters could actually weigh in indirectly on such a self-serving matter.
However, becoming effective a few weeks later, that’s really about as filly, rotten, dirty, slimy and
despicable as it goes. Making those who push for same worse than what they are supposedly
trying to fix.
What these three councilmembers (Stacey Armato, Mary Campbell-Collins, and Justin Massy)
have accomplished however did further illuminate just how self-centered and self-serving they
have become. These three councilmembers given the trust of the people of Hermosa Beach
have seriously damaged their own reputations within the city.
This is a General Law City, and none of you on the Council are any better than any of your
colleagues, and that Hany Fangary in your minds or any others have rubbed you wrong, gives
you no ethical right to punish him. He is one fifth of the city council and until the voters replace
him, he’s working for them, not for you. You three are not Gods.
Over the last 40 going on 50 years of watching this city, I have seen a lot of councilmembers, do
dumb things that in my view were far worse than the petty things you so brazenly claimed were
so terrible that Councilmember Fangary is alleged by you of having done. The three, who I speak
of herein, in my view are among the worst of the worst councilmembers I can recall and have
accomplished far worse just by operating so secretly and sneakily. The sneakiest I’ve ever seen.
You individually don’t seem comfortable standing alone on your own two feet. You like to feel
important working with your groupies behind the scenes it appears. You’ll be my age before you
know it and if your present actions are the legacy you desire, have at it. As such you’ll be
forgotten the day you leave the dais.
So where does this leave things with regard to the present rotation of the ceremonial positions?
1) In my view, notwithstanding what other General Law cities do or don’t do, and notwithstanding
the “in my opinion” of your selected contract city attorney, from an ethical point, the “resolution”
you accomplished just a few weeks ago should not apply to this present council, but instead only
for a future city council should they want to adopt it as it stands.
2) Nonetheless given this convoluted, completely-ambiguous, loosey-goosey, very-non-specific
“resolution” that the Council accomplished just a few weeks ago, i.e., for selecting how to rotate
these ceremonial positions, I do note that the “resolution” indicates (and very poorly) that during
elected councilmember 4- or 5-year terms, each councilmember should have the opportunity to
serve as ceremonial mayor once during each such elected term. And it’s implied that all should
serve as Ceremonial Mayor Pro Tem once, and that one should serve as ceremonial Mayor after
serving as ceremonial Mayor Pro Tem.
3) The “resolution” is incredibly non-specific and loosey goosey, allowing for very cavalier and
political usage. It probably would not pass a real court challenge as such; certainly not a smell
test. It should be in fact torn up it’s so confusing as written. I’ve seen a lot of poorly written stuff
28
Page 4 of 5
Supplemental testimony from H. Longacre (Resident) to Item 7a
November 10, 2020 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
prepared and instituted over the years in city which has ended up costing the city significant
amounts of money via court judgements. This is about the worst for such a non-needed
document in the first place.
4) Notwithstanding, given that the terms of serving in these ceremonial positions is for 1-year
during the 5-year present terms, that really leaves the council with no ethical position other than
to appoint Councilmember Hany Fangary as the next Mayor Pro Tem, since it is obvious that your
present majority clique is going to appoint Justin Massey as the next Mayor and given that duly
elected councilmember Hany Fangary has but two years left in this term to serve Mayor Pro Tem
and then Mayor. This isn’t rocket science.
5) Bottom line the three of you improperly in my view, and most knowledgeable resident’s view I
believe, leap-frogged Justin Massey over Hany Fangary last year. That was again extremely
dumb, extremely selfish, and significantly damaged your reputations (the three councilmembers I
noted). It’s time to correct that incredible blunder as best you can at this late date and move on
by simply rotating Councilmember Fangary now into the ceremonial Mayor Pro Tem Position you
should have last year.
6) You would best also agenize for modification/elimination this extremely-confusing, dumb,
unneeded “resolution” that the Council accomplished a few weeks ago for rotation of ceremonial
positions. Cancel it, or simply indicate the very process that honorable councils of decades-and-
decades of the past carried out. It’s time to end the incredible meanness, and stupidity that the
three of you, Stacey Armato, Mary Campbell-Collins, and Justin Massey, have de facto shown
that you are capable of as elected officials. If you believe the meanness emanated from Hany
Fangary, so be it. Your actions make it no better, and the public sees your actions far more than
they do of Hany Fangary’s now, for yours are in fact operating as an “eye for an eye”. And frankly
I have seen nothing that Councilman Fangary has done that you spoke to last year that even
began to qualify for your very ignorant and self-serving, selfish actions.
I am not an elected official, never desired to be, and certainly never would be. As a resident, I’ve
commented plenty over the years regarding virtually every councilmember ever serving.
However, I don’t set policy. You do, and when you set policy to punish another of your duly
elected colleagues to de facto give yourself more power, or advantage, you are in my view
bordering on the worst kind of corrupted politician, notwithstanding how incredibly small you are
showing yourself to be. You are in fact a big pot calling a tiny kettle black. And that’s what you
did a year ago, and you heard from the public at that time. You shot yourself in your own foot.
You didn’t correct your action then. It’s time to do it now.
And on this subject, if you have again discussed this particular item with so much as even one
other councilmember, you likely may well have consummated again an improper serial meeting
whether intentional or not, i.e. resulting in councilmember A alluding to councilmember B, and
then councilmember B alluding to councilmember C. Granted such occurs all the time, but given
the nature of this item, you all should know what the honorable ap pointment is to make this time
around.
Best to think very carefully and not continue on with your prior selfish blundering with respect to
this ceremonial Mayor rotation-business. You can’t completely undo your prior mess that three of
29
Page 5 of 5
Supplemental testimony from H. Longacre (Resident) to Item 7a
November 10, 2020 Hermosa Beach City Council 6-PM Regular Meeting
you so ignorantly created all by yourself, a year ago, but you can move on to more important
stuff. .
Individually you may already have planned to s imply appoint Hany Fangary as the next
ceremonial Mayor Pro Tem. Good, or perhaps even Mayor basis this poorly written “resolution”.
If not you, know the right thing to do now.
Also again, the Council would best modify or get rid of this asinine ‘rotation of mayor’ “resolution”
you accomplished (wasted costly city time on) a few weeks ago and return to the well-
established, over decades-and-decades collegial process of rotation of ceremonial Mayor and
ceremonial Mayor Pro Tem.
Note also: In the past this ceremonial rotation of positions had always been a big happy collegial
occasion that the incoming Mayor, his/her friends, and relatives, and others plann ed for. Three of
you have now wrecked that. Not Hany Fangary. Best to restore things back and figure out
another way to complain about each other, if your egos so need to do that.

COVID-19 UPDATE

NOVEMBER 10, 2020 CITY MANAGER COVID-19 UPDATE
Please note that statement delivered during Council Meeting may vary due to
frequent changes in COVID-19 information and restrictions.
Los Angeles County – along with much of the rest of the nation – is experiencing a surge
in COVID-19 transmission. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
reported that the number of new reported cases has risen from 750 cases per day to
almost 1,400 cases per day from mid-September to late-October.
Over the weekend, Public Health reported a total of 4,656 cases for Saturday and Sunday.
As the Department said: These are “real and alarming increases” in COVID-19 diagnoses.
We have entered the holiday season – with Thanksgiving just a little over 2 weeks away
– and we want to remind everyone to continue to be diligent to prevent the spread of this
deadly virus to your family and your loved ones.
Please avoid crowds and close contact with others not in your household because
COVID-19 easily spreads among people who are in contact with an infected person.
Consider virtual gatherings instead of in-person ones to protect your family.
If you do choose to celebrate with others, please observe the Department of Public
Health’s guidance for small gatherings which states that we should gather with only 2
other households for no more than 2 hours in an outdoor setting. All participants should
wear face coverings and keep 6 feet of physical distance from people who are not
members of their household. These are necessary measures to protect the health of all
in attendance and anyone with whom they may come in contact in the days after the
celebration.
We cannot let down our guard now because we all want to see our schools and our
economy fully reopened.
In recent weeks, though, we have seen many public celebrations and protests, where
people were close to each other, cheering and shouting – sometimes without face
coverings. The Department of Public Health said these are places where it is very easy
for COVID-19 to spread.
Therefore, the Department has reminded participants in the gatherings, to take very
seriously that they may have been exposed to COVID-19.
The Department of Public Health has asked participants in these events to please
quarantine for 14 days and to stay away from anyone who is at increased risk for serious
32
Page 2 of 2
illness from the virus. This includes older family members and friends with underlying
health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Public Health also is encouraging people who participated in such gatherings to get tested
for COVID-19. There continues to be plenty of testing capacity across our county, and
anyone can make an appointment to be te sted by visiting L.A. County Department of
Public Health’s testing website.
It is very important that if you are even mildly sick or think you were exposed to someone
with COVID-19 that you stay home and away from other people, especially those at
greater risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 and consider being tested for
COVID-19. This is essential to prevent you from unintentionally spreading COVID -19 to
other people.
This is also flu season, and we want to remind everyone that the flu is more than a bad
cold. Flu can be mild to severe, and at times can lead to life -threatening illness,
hospitalization or death. This year, flu and COVID -19 will be circulating in communities
throughout L.A. County, and both can cause serious illness. The best way to protect
yourself and your family from the flu, is to get a flu immunization.
It is especially important this year because a major flu outbreak during the pandemic
would put an enormous strain on our medical system.
The City of Hermosa Beach has been working with our neighboring jurisdictions and
Beach Cities Health District along with Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
to bring free flu immunizations to the Beach Communities.
The City of Hermosa Beach will be hosting a free flu immunization clinic on Thursday,
November 19, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Community Center gym located at 710 Pier
Avenue.
In addition to the Hermosa Beach flu immunization clinic, there are other flu immunization
opportunities at the Redondo Beach Farmers Market on November 12 and December 3
and in Manhattan Beach on November 18.
If you haven’t already received your flu immunization, we encourage you to take
advantage of the many flu immunization clinics in the area to get a free flu immunization
this year. You can find additional information on the City’s website.

Please include this letter in the Written Communication Section of the upcoming
November
10th city council meeting
Dear City Council:
Recently I became aware that Laura Mecoy, who I understand is a city-hired public relations
consultant actively sought to have a letter to the editor in the Easy Reader removed from the on-line
version of the paper. When I found out about this I became very concerned. Few would disagree that
an open and free press is essential to a free society. In this case, it appears that Laura Mecoy was
actively involved in suppressing this letter despite the fact that it had been already printed in the
Easy Reader. What’s, even more, alarming it the Easy Reader accommodated the removal of what
appeared to be only slightly critical of the city manager. When I contacted the Easy Reader to find
out why the letter was removed, the owner of the paper, Kevin Cody told me that the letter boarded
on Liable. Below is the letter in question. I don't see anything about the letter that is unusual or even
close to liable. Also concerning to me is that the city pays the Easy readers for ads and had even
recently placed an ad in the paper for their 50th-year celebration. Is this payback for favors?
At this time I am asking that the council look into this matter as well as any other suppression of
information involving the services of Laura Mecoy. I am also asking the Council agendize a complete
review of the services that Laura Mecoy provides to the city of Hermosa Beach and that a full
cost/benefit analysis be conducted. How much does the services of Laura Mecoy’s cost Hermosa
beach?
As Mayor Campbell frequently points out, we are in "unprecedented times "and we are "sailing on
uncharted waters". As the cities revenues decrease we should leave no stone unturned in our efforts
to cut costs. It seems to me that a complete review of the cost of this public relation expense is in
order. Is this a "nice to have" item or a "need to have item?"? From the outside, especially given all
the money we pay to our legal counsel, this appears to be a luxury the city could do without.
Pleases see the below two attachments.
Warmly,
Kent Allen

Subject: Crime Against Public Justice
OFC. Nakamoto:
I am respectfully requesting a crime report be filed against the individual that filed the
attached report with you. My allegation is this individual filed a false police report.
The report is heavily redacted. Therefore, I cannot confirm the individual’s identity, which is
why I am contacting you directly. However, there was a Stephanie Palmer, who was
bragging on Facebook about filing a polic e report against me on the same day. See
attached.
It is in my best interest to respond to these allegations anytime a police officer takes a
report advising a restraining order be filed against me. Furthermore, your report associates
me with a presidential assassin and a domestic terrorist for using the Latin phrase ‘Sic
Semper Tyrannis.’
Political satire is not a crime, and ‘Sic Semper Tyrannis’ is the Virginia state motto.
Therefore, I cannot comprehend why a police officer would seriously take a poli ce report
without outside influences. The Hermosa Beach Police Department cannot be the Facebook
police.
REPORT: I do not know Stephanie Palmer. She is not part of Advocates for Hermosa. She
was removed on December 16, 2018 for a profanity-laced personal attack on another
member. Additionally, I posted the Keep Hermosa Hermosa satirical org chart on September
2, 2018, not in December 2018 as stated in your report. Furthermore, I was informed from
a very reliable source that the Community Police Advisory Board vetted this infamous org
chart, and no action was taken. It is attached. I believe Stephanie Palmer became triggered
by my indirect Facebook activity, and she wanted to retaliate by reporting me to the police.
She falsely claimed I have threatened and harassed her, as she has also reported on
Facebook. Then she fabricated a story to you, that there was a threat risk to the individuals
in an org chart, nearly 7-months after the post.
Following my public records request, I made a satirical Facebook pos t mocking your heavily
redacted report associating me with Timothy McVey. However, 13 months later I was
interview by federal agents under false pretenses for allegedly making terrorist threats.
Obviously, this is retaliation by Councilwoman Armato. Theref ore I am escalating this
situation, and need to officially document everything.
Councilwoman Armato and her constituents have weaponized Facebook, and have targeted
me since December 2015. See attached article. I will be addressing this issue at the next
City Council meeting.
Please advise if you need anything from me, or if you need me to meet up at the police
station to file this report.
Very Respectfully,
Matt McCool

Matt McCool doesn't even live

comments of people saying
Tracy removes and deletes
comments but that's a Matt
thing more than her. I don't
know why people are so scared
of Matt? No one does
ANYTHING. What the real kicker
for me is one of the police
officers from Hermosa Beach is
on Advocates and this site and
again says and does nothing.

For roughly three years Hermosa Beach residents have been noticeably trading jabs about local political issues
through Facebook, and some people’s tolerance for it is finally running out.
The increase in online bullying could have stopped last March with the vote that denied oil drilling in the city.
But instead it escalated for nine months into the November City Council election. The sometimes personal
attacks have continued heading into a March 1 special election.
Resident Stacey Armato, who earned widespread support for leading the charge against oil with the group Keep
Hermosa Hermosa, was first to file for the special election to fill the seat Nanette Barragan vacated in the
summer. Her supporters argued Armato was a shoe-in, that no one should bother to oppose her and that doing
so would cost the city at least $50,000.
With a Dec. 7 deadline approaching and the council facing an option to simply appoint Armato, resident Matt
McCool pulled papers. He was blasted with nasty comments on Facebook by fellow Hermosans.
53
And the social media jeering didn’t just stop with the obvious, “not cool, McCool.” Someone created a business
profile about McCool on Yelp. It includes a link to a website that displays the words “the idiot” next to his
photo.
The MatthewMcCool.com site is registered through GoDaddy’s Domain By Proxy service, which allows users
to pay for a URL and hide the owner. The website that maligns McCool is paid for through March 2016.
McCool was not surprised about the creation of the fake website, but said it accurately describes the type of
bullying that’s been going on through Facebook regarding Hermosa Beach politics.
“That’s why nobody wanted to run. That’s the tone of the politics in Hermosa Beach right now,” McCool said.
“It’s all lies.”
After pulling papers, McCool wound up not filing them. But, Trent Larson, who lost his election bid Nov. 3, did
file papers and quickly experienced an online bashing.
McCool said the discussion amongst people he knew was that viable candidates didn’t want to battle the vocal
group that feels Armato will win. McCool was willing to run if Larson hadn’t because he’s “immune to it” and
doesn’t care what others say. In fact, McCool, a Navy reservist, isn’t worried about tracking down the owner of
the website. But he’s disturbed by the bullying that’s being done.
“It’s unbelievable adults are engaging in that type of (behavior) online,” McCool said.
Armato has tried her best to deter people from acting inappropriately online but said, “I can’t be the Facebook
police.”
She said the oil-drilling debate got residents emotionally involved, which caused some to cross the line of
decency. She always encourages folks to be respectful, but she said they’re adults and will ultimately behave
how they want to.
“A few people are just brutal,” she said. “People are always going to say what they feel … these are emotional
times for people. Everyone responds differently.”
At the Dec. 8 Hermosa Beach City Council meeting, resident Allan Mason provided a small verbal example of
the type of comments routinely seen on Facebook. He spoke out about why he felt Larson should not have filed
papers.
“How can he possibly justify his candidacy when it’s going to cost us all so much time and money … and I
can’t believe anyone would invest money in his candidacy. Flushing $100 bills down the toilet would have as
much effect,” Mason said.
After Mason spoke at the meeting, McCool defended the right to have an election and Larson stood up for his
reasons to run again. Then Armato spoke and apologized to Larson for people’s negative comments about him.
A few days after the meeting, Larson said the bullying, in any manner, needs to stop.
“No. 1, I don’t like it. That’s the kind of stuff we tell our kids not to do,” Larson said. “We teach our kids not to
be bullies (and then) they see adults doing it with no recourse … it doesn’t have a place in our community.”
In an email to The Beach Reporter several days later, Mason said he regretted some of the statements he made
about Larson. However, Mason stood by comments stating Larson can’t win.
54
“I would hardly call a simple reality check bullying,” said Mason. “In fact, you could easily argue that he is the
one bullying the whole town into letting him back into the spotlight while making us pay for the privilege,
without a shred of reasonable rationale for his candidacy. Rarely has one person held so much temporary power
in Hermosa, and I fear he will serve his own wrongly-perceived self-interest rather than the best interests of
Hermosa.”
Online political bashing in Hermosa Beach is not new. Josh Ochs, a social media safety expert, ran for Hermosa
Beach City Council in 2009 and said he too was bullied during his campaign. Ochs, who now lives in Santa
Monica, uses some of that experience when he’s speaking about cyberbullying and social media to children and
parents throughout the country, including students at Redondo Union and Mira Costa high schools.
During his campaign, Ochs said people consistently bullied him online saying things that “hurt my feelings
really badly.”
“I can’t believe people hate me,” Ochs recalled thinking. “(But) it ended up coming back to hurt them.”
Ochs said one of his bullies didn’t get a particular job because the person “lost credibility” due to the
cyberbullying.
“Their negative posts about positive people were a huge red flag for future clients and prospects,” Ochs said.
Ochs, who authored a book titled “Light, Bright And Polite,” advises people to be respectful and to keep
comments positive.
“It may feel good at the time, and you might feel as though you have the right to speak your mind, but
understand that there are very real consequences to negative posts on social media,” he said.
Armato said she has also been the target of insults that have been “hurtful,” but she’s trying to “have a thick
skin.” But because some people view Larson as pro-oil and her as anti-oil, Armato doesn’t think the insults will
completely go away before the March special election.
“I do believe they’re coming from a good place, (but) it’s just coming out wrong for some of them,” Armato
said.
All she can do is lead by example and encourage people to make their points respectfully.
Larson agreed.
“I think people need to look in the mirror, be a better person and find new ways to express themselves in a
better manner,” he said.

MISSION STATEMENT:
Establish a mafia style oligarchy shadow
government controlling all aspects of the city, while
dictating the way of life for residents and visitors in
order to fundamentally transform our city into a
politically idealistic utopia.
OBJECTIVES:
•Use extreme bias and favoritism for appointing
city officials, to scheme with our self-appointed
city officials and covert deep state staff
operatives to transform Hermosa’s resources
into a vibrant environment.
•Micromanage the Police department and
resources for a safer Hermosa by creating a
Community Police Advisory Board where the
co-chair will also serve as co-Chief of Police.
•Gentrification of Cypress Avenue into an arts
and entertainment district for local merchants,
plus seize control of the CrossFit Horsepower
building and retrofit into a unique artisan cafe.

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0713
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of November 10, 2020
APPROVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
AND STAR EDUCATION TO TEMPORARILY REDUCE
INSURANCE LIABILITY LIMITS AND MODIFY VENDOR
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
(Community Resources Manager Kelly Orta)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a second amendment to the lease agreement with
STAR Education that would:
·Reduce the required insurance liability limits through December 31,2020 due to STAR’s
inability to obtain a $2 million policy so close to the expiration of its existing policy; and
·Remove vendor insurance requirements that are already fulfilled in its existing policy.
Executive Summary:
In July 2015,the City entered into a lease agreement with STAR Education,a non-profit organization
based out of Los Angeles,to utilize classroom 7 and the courtyard of the Community Center to
provide daycare services and enrichment programming for children attending kindergarten in the
Hermosa Beach City School District (HBCSD).A new three-year lease agreement was approved by
the Council at its July 23 meeting to continue STAR’s program and use of City facilities commencing
with the start of the new school year.Following the announcement that schools would be held
virtually when it resumed in the fall,City staff,HBCSD,and STAR representatives worked collectively
to accommodate an enhanced program that would provide a safe space for children to participate in
virtual learning and recreational activities.This expanded program was retroactively approved by the
Council at its August 22 meeting by way of a first amendment.Due to difficulties in obtaining the
required $2 million insurance liability policy,STAR requests a temporary reduction to $1 million
through the expiration of its current policy on December 31,2020.Additionally,STAR requests
insurance requirements included in its first amendment be modified related to its fence vendor as
they are already fulfilled through its existing liability policy.

has been in place since 2015.At the Council’s August 22 meeting,it approved a first amendment (
Attachment 2)to STAR’s lease agreement that allowed STAR to expand its kinder program and
provide daycare services for all school-aged children enrolled in the HBCSD.This program now
provides dedicated time and resources for online learning as well as outdoor,recreational activities in
small 10 to 12-person cohort groups.This expanded program will remain in effect while school
instruction is held virtually or in a hybrid model under COVID-19 precautionary measures.
Discussion:
STAR is a non-profit organization based out of Los Angeles that provides recreational and
enrichment programming for school-aged children in a variety of programs and settings.STAR’s team
developed the Hermosa Beach kinder program collectively with City staff and HBCSD
representatives and created a state licensed childcare program that met the needs of the community
when HBCSD transitioned from full day to half-day kindergarten classes due to impacted classroom
space.The partnership between the City and STAR has been positive since its inception in 2015 and
its program has been able to take place amongst other activities in the Community Center without
concern or conflict.
Following the execution of the lease agreement and the first amendment,STAR reached out to Staff
and requested additional modifications related to the insurance liability limits as well as the insurance
requirements required for the fence vendor that constructed the fence on the Community Center’s
north lawn.The following includes additional information related to each request,which are reflective
in the proposed second amendment (Attachment 3).
Reduction of Insurance Limits
Since execution of the lease agreement,STAR has provided a $1 million insurance liability policy,
which is lower than the $2 million limit required in the agreement.It has made continual efforts to
obtain the required $2 million insurance liability policy but has been unsuccessful due to a change in
the insurance market since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.Additionally,given the current
policy’s expiration of December 31,2020,STAR expressed that they have been unable to modify its
policy to include a higher limit so close to the expiration.STAR expressed a level of confidence that
they will be able to obtain the requested $2 million insurance liability limit upon policy renewal,which
would be effective January 1,2021.In the interim,the proposed second amendment reduces the limit
to $1 million through December 31,2020 and requires the reinstatement of the higher limit of $2
million on January 1.
The City’s Risk Management team reviewed this request and although there are no major concernsCity of Hermosa Beach Printed on 5/4/2022Page 2 of 4

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0713
The City’s Risk Management team reviewed this request and although there are no major concerns
with this temporary measure,the reduction might increase the City’s potential exposure in a serious
liability case for an injury occurring through the end of the calendar year.This increase of potential
exposure is unlikely but is worth noting as part of the consideration of the proposed second
amendment.As of today,there have been no incidents or injuries that have resulted from STAR’s
program at the Community Center.
Modifications to the Fence Vendor Requirements
The first amendment,approved by the Council on August 22,provided an opportunity for STAR to
expand its program to provide daycare services for all school-aged children enrolled in the HBCSD
participating in virtual learning.A component of this agreement was the use of additional outdoor
space located on the Community Center’s north lawn.The affordance of outdoor space is a State
Childcare licensing requirement and necessary for STAR to expand its program under its current
license.In order to make this area safe for program participants,it must be completely enclosed to
prevent access from those that are not part of the program.
Included in the first amendment is language that includes additional insurance requirements to be
carried out by the vendor that erected the fence on the north lawn.Specifically,this language
requires the vendor to provide a policy that indemnifies and names the City as additionally insured.
Upon looking into this further and confirming with the City’s Risk Management team,these additional
insurance requirements from the fence vendor are not necessary.STAR’s current insurance fulfills
the liability concerns associated with the fence.Therefore,the proposed second amendment
removes the additional insurance requirements associated with the fence vendor.

PROHIBITION ON SHARED MOBILITY DEVICES FROM BEING

PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY OR PUBLIC PROPERTY; OR OPERATED ON

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings.
A. Recent transportation and technology innovations and community interest in new
mobility options have created a new market of both privately-owned and on-demand dockless
electric scooters and bicycles (referred to as shared on-demand personal mobility devices). While
this equipment offers a new form of low-emission transportation options, the technology has the
ability for shared equipment to be placed or left virtually anywhere in the public right-of-way, and
for both shared and privately-owned equipment to be operated by users in a manner that is
considered unsafe to the operator or other users of public spaces.
B. The sudden and unforeseen proliferation of these privately-owned and on-demand
shared mobility devices that operate in the public right-of-way, has created potential nuisance and
safety concerns that are not adequately covered by existing definitions and regulations in the
California Vehicle Code or the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.
C. It is the belief of the City of Hermosa Beach that, based on the operation in other cities
and understanding of the current technology of active operators that adequate mechanisms are not
yet in place to prevent such nuisance conditions and ensure safe operation. Therefore, the City of
Hermosa Beach initiated amendments to the Municipal Code to temporarily prohibit the operations
of shared on-demand personal mobility devices that operate in the public right-of-way or on public
property until such time when regulations are adopted and permits are issued to address potential
nuisance conditions and safety concerns associated with scooter and bikeshare equipment.

and understanding of the current technology of active operators that adequate mechanisms are not
yet in place to prevent such nuisance conditions and ensure safe operation. Therefore, the City of
Hermosa Beach initiated amendments to the Municipal Code to temporarily prohibit the operations
of shared on-demand personal mobility devices that operate in the public right-of-way or on public
property until such time when regulations are adopted and permits are issued to address potential
nuisance conditions and safety concerns associated with scooter and bikeshare equipment.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of November 10, 2020
TEXT AMENDMENT 20-02, CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS
TO CHAPTER 17.44, “OFF-STREET PARKING” OF THE HERMOSA
BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW PARKING PROVIDED
WITH MECHANICAL VEHICLE LIFTS TO COUNT TOWARDS
THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES AND TO
SET STANDARDS FOR THE PERMITTING AND USE
OF MECHANICAL VEHICLE LIFTS
(Community Development Director Ken Robertson)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce for the first reading the attached ordinance to
amend Chapter 17.44,“Off-Street Parking”of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code to allow parking
provided with mechanical vehicle lifts to count towards the required number of parking spaces and to
set standards for the permitting and use of mechanical vehicle lifts.
Executive Summary:
Due to the unique lot configurations and conditions that exist in Hermosa Beach,such as small lot
sizes,half lot conditions,lots with significant slopes,vehicle access from narrow alleyways and other
site constraints,alternative options for on-site parking would potentially improve the quality and
livability of residential and commercial development projects.At their meeting of October 20,2020,
the Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance,which
would amend Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 17.44.“Off-Street Parking”to allow the use of
mechanical vehicle lifts as a method to provide required parking,and to establish the definition and
standards for the permitting and appropriate use of “mechanical vehicle lifts.”
Background:
Beginning in February 2020,the Planning Commission considered various approaches and possible
code amendments to allow vehicle lifts to count towards parking minimums.
Past Planning Commission Actions Meeting Date Description February 21, 2017 The Planning Commission approved a parking plan at 260
31st
Street, allowing a proposed parking arrangement, which
uses alternative methods, including a mechanical parking lift
and compact sized guest stalls. Although the vehicle lift was
initially approved in error by the City and approved post-
construction by the Planning Commission, the Planning
Commission did not want to establish a precedent. The
Commission, however, agreed to monitor the 260 31st
Street
residence and use it as a case study for a potential future
zoning code amendment. February 18, 2020 On February 13, 2020, the Planning Commission received a
letter from a resident requesting the Commission initiate a
zoning code amendment to allow vehicle lifts as a
mechanism for satisfying parking requirements. In response,
at the February 18, 2020 meeting, the Planning Commission
requested staff place the item on a future agenda so they
can discuss its advantages and disadvantages. May 19, 2020 The Planning Commission agreed to initiate a code
amendment and approved P.C. Resolution 20-12 initiating
an amendment to Title 17, entitled “Zoning” of the Hermosa
Beach Municipal Code allowing the use of mechanical
vehicle lifts; and determined that the action was exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). August 18, 2020 Staff presented additional research and alternatives for
Commission feedback. At this meeting the Planning
Commission directed staff to draft text amendments and
present them at the next meeting. October 20, 2020 Planning Commission adopted Resolution 20-26
recommending the City Council adopt a text amendment to
HBMC Chapter 17.44 Off-street parking to allow the use of
mechanical vehicle lifts as a method to provide required
parking, adopt proposed definition of “mechanical vehicle
lift,” and determination that the project is categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0692
Analysis:
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC)Title 17 (Zoning Code)does not specifically prohibit the use
of vehicle lifts;however,currently,vehicle lifts do not count toward meeting the parking requirements.
The City has received requests from residents and architects struggling to meet parking requirements
on smaller lots1 in the City,while trying to design buildings with a functional first level floor plan.
Additionally,on all residential and commercial lots in the City,additional parking options would allow
more flexibility to achieve better building design and orientation to enhance the quality of
development in residential and commercial districts,such as minimizing curb cuts and maximizing
active street frontages.
While developing the ordinance,the Planning Commission considered lot size,zoning districts,
screening,location,staging,vertical clearance,and increased floor area.After careful consideration
and discussion,the Planning Commission recommends allowing vehicle lifts to count towards parking
requirements.
The Municipal Code would be amended as set forth in the attached ordinance to add a definition for
“mechanical vehicle lift,”allow a vehicle lift to meet parking requirements on residential lots less than
or equal to 2,100 square feet and as a potential alternative method to achieving parking requirements
as part of a Planning Commission approved Parking Plan on all other lots.Further the ordinance
would establish development and performance standards for the use of vehicle lifts such as
screening, vertical clearance, safety, and location requirements.
Environmental Determination:
The project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2),because the project will not result in a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.In addition,the project is exempt from
CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3),which states that CEQA applies only to
projects which have a potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.Where it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect
on the environment,the activity is not subject to CEQA.The zone text amendment changes are not
subject to CEQA and in addition to,the project would be categorically exempt as the project is
procedural in nature and there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
effect on the environment.
_________________
1Small lots are typically considered 2,100 square feet or less.Out of 7,140 total residential lots in the City,only 532
(0.07%) are equal to or less than 2,100 square feet.

Staff Report
REPORT 20-0692
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s
General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
PLAN Hermosa encourages “a parking system that meets the parking needs and demand of
residents,visitors,and employees in an efficient and cost-effective manner”(Mobility,Goal 4).While
vehicle lifts are not specifically mentioned in this Goal,that plan does say that innovative parking
supply solutions will be used to meet the parking demand in the City.
The Pacific Coast Highway Corridor is the only section of the Plan that specifically mentions vehicle
lifts as means for easing parking demand in the City.Policy 6.8 (Balance pedestrian and vehicular
circulation)requires new development along corridors to “encourage the use of systems to increase
parking lot efficiency,such as mechanical lift systems or occupancy sensors.”Parking guidelines in
residential portions do not have such requirements.However,the General Plan encourages off-street
residential parking to be oriented toward to the alley to reduce curb cuts and disruptions to the
pedestrian realm.Limited curb cuts are an effective way to ensure on-street parking is available.The
use of mechanical vehicle lifts may result in more innovative building and site designs where the
vertical stacking of vehicles may lend to more narrow driveway approaches and less hardscape on-
site. This would result in more permeable surface area and sites providing more open space.
Fiscal Impact:
There are no direct fiscal impacts anticipated with the implementation of the proposed ordinance.To
the extent this more flexible parking approach encourages new development,it may indirectly
encourage investment and redevelopment of properties that could result in increased property tax
revenue over the longer term.
