HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
WELCOME! By your presence in the City Council Chambers you are
participating in the process of representative government. Your
government welcomes your interest and hopes you will attend the

CITY VISION
A less dense, more family oriented pleasant low profile,
financially sound community comprised of a separate and distinct
business district and residential neighborhoods that are afforded
full municipal services in which the maximum costs are borne by
visitor/users; led by a City Council which accepts a stewardship
role for community resources and displays a willingness to
explore innovative alternatives, and moves toward public policy
leadership in attitudes of full ethical awareness. This Council
is dedicated to learning from the past, and preparing Hermosa
Beach for tomorrow's challenges today.
Adopted by City Council on October 23, 1986
NOTE: There is no smoking allowed in the Council Chambers
THE HERMOSA BEACH FORM OF GOVERN
Hermosa Beach has the Council -Manager form of government, with a City Manager ap-.
pointed by and responsible to the City Council for carrying out Council policy. The
Mayor and Council decide what is to be done. The City Manager, operating through

is considsered the most economical and efficient form of City government in the
United States today.

INFORMATIONAL REPORT REGARDING ROLLER HOCKEY
RECCMENDATION:
It is recanntended that City Council receive and file this report.
ANALYSIS:
At the May 12th City Council meeting, Council directed staff to return on May
26th with a report regarding "roller hockey" being played on the Strand.
A survey was conducted of all of our officers who work in the area of the
Strand. It was determined that the playing of roller hockey seams to be a new
activity on the Strand. None of the officers contacted had seen this being
played.
There is currently a section in the City Code which addresses this type of
activity (5-6). Officers have been informed and will be watching for any
violations.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the
Hermosa Beach City Council May 18, 1987
City Council Meeting of
May 26, 1987
CONSIDERATION OF A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council send the attached
El Segundo Traffic Management Plan Ordinance to the Planning Com-
mission for consideration as a part of the Commission's upcoming
review of the General Plan's Transportation, Traffic and Parking
Element review.
BACKGROUND
At the last Beach Cities meeting the City of El Segundo apprised
the other cities of its ordinance requiring a traffic management
plan for various developments. Attached is a copy of that
document.
ANALYSIS
While Hermosa Beach does not, and will not, be dealing with
potential developments on a scale like that experienced in El
Segundo, the concept of the Traffic Management Plan is a good
one. Staff feels that it is worthy of further discussion and
formal consideration.
In addition to the staff recommendation, other alternatives
available to the City Council are:
1. Receive and file;
2. Make specific suggestions/comments before transmitting
the El Segundo document to the Planning Commission.

20.55.010 Intent
The intent of this Chapter is to set forth requirements for
major new developments to provide facilities to encourage
and accommodate the use of ridesharing, transit, pedes-
trian, and bicycle commuting as alternatives to single -
occupant motor vehicle trips. A reduction in such trips
can be expected to assist in reduced traffic congestion,
air pollution and energy consumption impacts related to the
new employment growth accommodated by new developments.
20.55.020 Applicability
This Chapter shall apply to major new developments, defined
as follows:
(1) Any new office or industrial use located in the C-3,
C -M, M-1 or M-2 zones which is expected to have 200 or
more employees during daytime business hours. Em--
ployee counts shall be based on actual employee
projections or, where none are available, on the
following equivalent building size:

(2) The requirements shall also apply to any existing
office or industrial use which proposes to increase
its gross floor area by 25 percent or more above the
floor area existing on the effective date of this
Chapter, and which after expansion exceeds the minimum
building size or employee base as defined in Section
20.55.020(1). This Chapter shall then apply to the
entire development.
(3)
The Planning Director may, upon application and
approval, grant an administrative waiver to the re-
quirements of this Chapter where existing conditions
make compliance infeasible.
20.55.030 Exempt Projects
Projects which exceed the minimum building size or
employment base as defined in Section 20.55.020, but which
propose to mitigate project impacts by developing at less
than 75% of the Code -permitted maximum building floor area,
shall be exempt from the provisions of this Chapter. A 25%
reduction is equivalent to the following floor area ratios

20.55.060 Alternative TSM Plan
The requirements and reductions established pursuant to
this Chapter are based on a situation where the tenants and
therefore the TSM program measures are unknown at the time
of development. If the tenant (employer) is known, the
developer/employer may jointly submit an alternative TSM
Plan which includes program as well as physical facility
measures. The TSM Plan may include any reasonable combi-
nation 'Of TSM measures, including but not limited to,
employer -directed carpool, vanpool or buspool programs,
subsidies to employees who rideshare, flex -time work hour
programs, and parking reductions. A target trip reduction
level shall be established as an informal standard for
evaluating Alternative TSM Plans. The trip reduction level
shall be either: a) 20 percent reduction in the base
traffic generation level, projected for the project based
on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation 3rd Edition, or other source submitted by the
applicant and approved by the Planning Director, or b) a
target Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR) of 1.43 employees
per commute vehicle, which represents a 20 percent increase
in vehicle ridership from the estimated baseline AVR. The
TSM Plan shall be approved by the Planning Director prior
to issuance of the building permit. In addition, the
developer/tenant shall execute and record a written
agreement as specified in Section 20.55.070.
20.55.070 Assurances
Physical facilities shall be verified through the City's
existing development review process. Initial enforcement
shall consist of verification during plan check and field
inspection prior to release of utilities/certificate of
occupancy (to ensure that preferential parking spaces are
marked, lockers are installed, etc.).
c
Subsequent enforcement shall be per the established Zoning
Code procedures. For Alternative TSM Plans the City shall
require, prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy,
that the applicant shall enter into a written agreement with
the City, providing that the applicant and all successors in
interest shall implement and maintain the approved TSM Plan
or a subsequently approved TSM Plan which complies with the
intent of this Chapter for the life of the project. The
agreement shall be in a form that may be recorded and
contain covenants which run with the land."

REALLOCATION OF FUND ACCOUNT
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council appropriate $17,801 from the
Park and Recreation fund for CIP 85-501, Clark Field Restroom
Remodel Project.
Background
City Council approved the expenditure of $17,801 for the above
referenced project with the funds being appropriated from the
General Revenue Sharing Fund.
Analysis
Per the guidelines for Genreal Revenue Sharing, expenditures must
go through the Public Hearing process. As this was not done in a
timely fashion for this project, we recommend that General
Revenue Sharing funds not be used and Park and Recreation Facilty
Tax Fund monies be used instead.
All General Revenue Sharing Funds that are to be expended for
next fiscal year will go through the Public Hearing process at
the June 9th and 23rd meetings of the City Council.

RCC and notify the Executive Director of RCC and all
participating agencies (Gardena, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and
Hawthorne) that the City of Hermosa Beach intends to withdraw
frau participation in RCC effective July 1, 1988.
B. Notify Hawthorne Police Department that Hermosa Beach intends to
withdraw frau participation in the Hawthorne records system
effective July 1, 1988
G. Appropriate an amount not to exceTd $53,000) for construction and
equipment purchases during the 87-58 fiscal' ear.
D. Appropriate an amount not to excee $24,500, or hiring 5

BACKGROUND:
The City of Hermosa Beach has been a participant in the Sout y Tonal
Public Communications Authority (RCC) since its inception i .1975 A11
participants were required to remain with RCC for five years in the beginning.
After this five year period, any participant could withdraw by following the
procedures set forth in the Joint Powers Agreement. The City became a
participant in the Hawthorne records system in 1984. All participants were
required to remain a minimum of two years; thereafter, withdrawal procedures are
set forth in the agreement.
In the beginning, there were several other cities involved in RCC, Redondo Beach
and Palos Verdes Estates were two that later withdrew frau participation in RCC
and began inhouse dispatching. Monetary considerations and bad radio reception
were of primary concern when Palos Verdes Estates withdrew. Control and
accountability were the prime factors surrounding the withdrawal of Redondo
Beach.
RCC has recently proposed replacing and upgrading equipment at the center. The
cost is estimated to be $987,680; Hermosa Beach would be responsible for
$122,500 of that cost.
Over the last eight years, the cost of participation in RCC has increased an
average 12.13% per year. During those years, there have been only two
reductions in cost; the largest being 14% in FY 86-87 following a threat of
withdrawal frau RCC. The smallest increase, prior to this year, was 12% in FY
FY 85-86. The increase for FY 87-88, including the upgrade of equipment, will
be approximately 8%.
In accordance with the contract with Hawthorne, the costs of participation
remained constant during the first two years. Costs during the third, fourth
and fifth years may be increased by an amount equal to the Consumer Price Index
plus a proportional share of any increased maintenance costs. This being the
third year, costs increased by 16.7% for FY 87-88.
ANALYSIS:
For the last two years, consideration has been given to withdrawal frau RCC for
financial reasons. This idea surfaced in FY 85-86 and resulted in a recalculation
of our assessment and a cost reduction of 14% for FY 86-87. Because of this
reduction, Hermosa Beach continued participation with RCC.
There is now a desire to upgrade and replace RCC equipment at a cost in of
$987,680. to be spread over a seven year period. Hermosa Beach would be
assessed $122,500. of that cost. Three cities, E1•Segundo, Gardena and
Manhattan Beach, have given preliminary notice of commitment to approve this
expenditure and share in the costs. Only Hermosa Beach and Hawthorne have
declined to commit at this time. This means that Hermosa Beach must make a
decision which will financially obligate the City to RCC for a minimum of seven
years.
Studies comparing the costs of contracting out our records and dispatch services
were recently canpleted.(copies attached) These studies clearly show that
Hermosa Beach can reduce its costs for dispatch and records keeping by a
substantial amount each year by taking over the operation ourselves.
1
The recommendation to "Do it Ourselves" is for economic reasons only and has
nothing to do with the level or quality of service frau RCC and Hawthorne. Both
of these provide excellent service with few complaints.
Procedures for withdrawal frau participation in RCC are set forth in the By Laws
and Joint Powers Agreement and require a minimum 90 day notice by resolution.
By giving everyone 12 months notice, there should be reduced impact caused by
our withdrawal. This would allow adequate time for everyone to make arrangements
and adjustments to canpensate for our withdrawal.
Termination procedures are also set forth in the Hawthorne agreement. They call
for a minimum 120 day notice so 12 months will be adequate. By giving this
advanced notice, we will not be responsible for any additional payments to
Hawthorne after July 1, 1988.
During the 12 months, we would determine our best course of action and be able
to bring everything on line, have it tested and ready to begin operations on
July 1, 1988. Listed below are several viable alternatives to consider; each
with different capabilities and cost savings:
1. Leave ROC; stay with Hawthorne; have no MDT capability:
(save from $439,716 to $782,106 over 7 years)
2. Ldave ROC and Hawthorne; have no MCT capabi `ty-►
(save frau $573,535 to $915,925 over 7 yf...4;s02)
3. Leave ROC; stay with Hawthorne; have MDT capability(Motorola-Disarm):
(save frau $197,368 to 539,758 over 7 years)
3-A. Leave ROC; stay with Hawthorne; have MDT capability(HP-PSSI):
(save frau $65,079 to 407,469.over 7 years)
4. Leave ROC and H L hear ' �i?d`have capability(Motorola-Disarm) :
(save frau $331,187 to 673,577 over 7 years)
4 A. Leave RCC and Hawthorne and have MDT capability(HP-PSSI):
(save frau $40,392 to 382,782 over 7 years)
*Note: Alternatives 3 and 4 give us the same capabilities we now have.
In order to obtain everything required to implement alternative #4, we estimate
that there would need to be $53,000 appropriated as follows: 6 months lease
payments for the canputer equipment and software, $38,000.; construction and
remodel costs for the dispatch center, $15,000. An appropriation for the
communications equipment would not be required because Motorola will deliver and
install the equipment and delay billing until July 1988, at which time the lease
would begin. It is possible that we may be able to obtain the same consideration
for the computer equipment and software.
The appropriation of $24,500 for salaries and benefits will enable us to hire
and train the five dispatchers for two months. This will allow%adequate time
for then to became familiar with the operation of the equipment and proper
dispatch procedures.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Council may choose to continue the current arrangements for services provided
by RCC and Hawthorne and enter into the certificate of participation to
purchase the new equipment at RCC. The issuance of COP's requires the
issuance of several documents:
A. Installment Sales Agreement between the RCC and Security Pacific
Merchant Bank (the bank purchases the equipment and then sells it to
the RCC under the Installment Sales Agreement).

kept all of their equipment as provided in the bylaws of the authority. It is

cars. These units are priced at $4,100 each and include the radio transmitter
and receiver. The MDT units we now have were purchased under a grant with RCC
and the other users. When Redondo Beach and Palos Verdes Estates withdrew, they
kept all of their equipment as provided in the bylaws of the authority. It is
staff opinion that we will also be able to maintain possession of all equipment
we now have. Provided the old MDT units we have are canpatable with the new
system, we could realize an additional savings of $28,700.

(a) Base Payments. The City shall pay to the Authority as a- Base
Payments, semiannually, the respective amounts on the respective dates set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. So long as no event of default shall have
occurred and be continuing hereunder, any amount held in the Installment
Payment Subaccount on any April 15 or October 15 payment date shall be
credited towards the Base Payment then due and payable; and no Base Payment
need be made on any April 15 or October 15 payment date if the amounts then

Payment then required to be paid.
(b) Additional Payments. The City shall also pay to the Authority, in

Such additional payments shall be billed to the City by the Authority from time to
time, together with a statement certifying that the amount billed has been paid by the
Authority for one or more of the items above described, or that such amount is then

within thirty (30) days after receipt of the bill by the City.
Such payments of Base Payments and additional payments due hereunder in any
twelve-month period beginning on May 1 and ending the next April 30 shall constitute
the total payments due hereunder in such twelve-month period, and shall be paid by the
City in eachtwelve-month period for and in consideration of the right of the use of the
Equipment during each such twelve-month period. The parties hereto have agreed and
determined that such total payments represents the fair consideration for the value of
the services provided by the Equipment. In making such determination, consideration
has been given to the cost of acquisition, delivery and installation of the Equipment,
other obligations of the parties under this Agreement, the uses and purposes which may
be served by the Equipment and the benefits therefrom which will accrue to the City and
the general public.
Each Base Payment hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States
of America to or upon the order of the Authority at the principal office of the Escrow
Agent in Los Angeles, California, or such other payments place as the Authority shall
designate. Any such payment due hereunder which shall not be paid when due shall
bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date when the
same is due hereunder until the same shall be paid. Notwithstanding any dispute
between the Authority and the City, the City shall make all payments when due and shall
not withhold any payments pending the final resolution of such dispute.

Payments due hereunder and all additional payments estimated to be due hereunder in
its annual budget and to make the necessary annual appropriations for all Base
Payments. The City hereby agrees to furnish to the Authority and the Escrow Agent
copies of each proposed and final budget of the City within thirty (30) days after the filing
or adoption thereof. If in the opinion of the Escrow Agent the amounts so budgeted for
any Fiscal Year are not adequate for the payment of the Base Payments due hereunder
and all additional payments estimated to be due hereunder during such Fiscal Year, the
City agrees to take such action as may be necessary to cause the annual budget for
such Fiscal Year to be amended, corrected or augmented so as to include therein the
full amount of the Base Payments required to be paid by the City in such Fiscal year
and to notify the Escrow Agent of the proceedings then taken or proposed to be taken
by the City for such purpose. The covenants on the part of the City herein contained
shall be deemed to be and shall be construed to be duties imposed by law and it shall
be the duty of each and every public official of the City to take such action and do such
things as are required by law in the performance of the official duty of such officials to
enable the City to carry out and perform the covenants and agreements in this

made pursuant to this Section, shall be of a value which is not substantially less than the
value of the Equipment immediately prior to the making of such additions, modifications
and improvements. The Authority will not permit any mechanic's or other lien to be
established or remain against the Equipment for labor or materials furnished in
connection with any additions, modifications, improvements, repairs, renewals or
replacements made by the Authority pursuant to this Section; provided that if any such
lien is established and the Authority shall first notify or cause to be notified the Escrow
Agent of the Authority's intention to do so, the Authority may in good faith contest any
lien filed or established against the Equipment, and in such event may permit the items
so contested to remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the period of such contest

persons in each accident or event, and in a minimum amount of $150,000 for damage

covering all such risks. Such liability insurance may be maintained as part of or in
conjunction with any other liability insurance coverage carried by the Authority, and may

to 100% of the replacement cost of the Equipment or the outstanding principal amount
of the Certificates, whichever is greater, and may be subject to deductible clauses of
not to exceed $25,000 for any one Toss. Such insurance may be maintained as part of
or in conjunction with any other fire and extended coverage insurance carried by the
Authority, and may be maintained in the form of self-insurance by the Authority. The net
proceeds of such insurance shall be applied as provided in Section 6.2(a) of the
Installment Sale Agreement.
Section 9. Disclaimer of Warranties. THE AUTHORITY MAKES NO
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER • EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE

impair the right of the Authority to exercise any or all other remedies.

nondefaulting party should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of

of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred by the nondefaulting party.

agreement contained herein should be breached by either party and thereafter waived
by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and

Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the City waives any right to
terminate this Agreement by virtue of any such damage and destruction.

done, or omit or refrain from doing anything, in any case where any such act done or
permitted to be done, or any such omission of or refraining from action, would or might

be a ground for cancellation or termination of the Installment Sale Agreement or
constitute an event of default thereunder.

Sale Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Service Agreements and the Assignment
Agreement, neither this Agreement, the Base Payments, the Equipment nor any interest
of the Authority hereunder shall be mortgaged, pledged, assigned or transferred by the

financing arrangements with the form'of the financing to be the
issuance of seven-year Certificates of Participation (COP's). Although
the final coupon and net effective rates will not be known until the
certificates are issued, a summary of the pertinent facts of the

CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION
Certificates of Participation (COPs) are a type of tax-exempt security which
are issued by cities, counties, states and other special districts to finance
equipment acquisitions and capital improvement projects. ,Two of the major
advantages of COPs are (1) they are a method of financing projects without
violating debt limitations, and (2) they can be issued through the
authorization of the agency's governing body without the necessity of voter
approval.
COPs can be structured in a variety of ways to meet the financing needs of the
issuer. The repayment period of COPs varies depending on the expected life of
the equipment or projects being financed. Typically COP issues are repaid in
5 to 30 years. COPs can be structured so the annual lease payment obligation
is equal throughout the life of the financing, or they can be structured so the
lease payments increase at a given increment each year. The interest rates can
be fixed throughout the financing term or variable based on interest rates
which are determined daily, weekly, monthly or some other set period.
COPs are usually presented to the one or both of the New York rating agencies
if the finances of the government agency are strong enough to obtain an
investment-grade rating (Baa/BBB or above). An investment-grade rating will
allow the underwriter to market and sell the COPs to investors at more
favorable (lower) interest rates. Often the government agency will insure the
COP issue or back the COPs with bank letters of credit to obtain a higher
credit rating and thus lower interest costs.
It generally takes approximately 60 days to structure and close a COP
financing. The first 30 days are devoted to preparing the COP documentation
with the final 30 days devoted to obtaining proper authorization from the
issuing government agency, obtaining a credit rating, pricing and selling the
COPs to investors and delivering the funds to the issuer.
COPs are structured with a number of legally binding agreements which are made
by the government agency with a bank trustee, non-profit public benefit
corporation or authority and an underwriter. For the purposes of this
description of COPs, the parties involved in a COP financing will be referred
to as the agency, trustee, corporation and underwriter.
The agreements and the relationships among the parties involved are outlined in
the attached diagram and discussed individually below.
Lease and Agency Agreements
The agency enters into a lease agreement with the corporation. Under the terms
of the lease agreement, the corporation agrees to purchase the project with the
funds received from the sale of the certificates and agrees to lease the
project to the agency. The agency agrees to make lease payments to the
corporation for the use of the project and, at the end of the term of the
lease, the corporation agrees to sell the project to the agency, usually for
$1.00.

SUBJECT: PARTICIPATION IN THE FIVE-YEAR FUNDING PROGRAM TO
ENHANCE COMPUTER-AIDED DISPATCH - SOUTH BAY
REGIONAL PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY
Background
The existing computer-aided dispatch system at the SBRPCA
has been in service since the communications center was
founded. Over the years, the system has been expanded to
the point where it is now at its capacity. Recent changes
in state law requiring fire departments and/or cities to
maintain hazaradous materials documentation has placed an
increased burden on the communications center. It became
apparent at this time that the system has reached its
capacity and can no longer be expanded.
Discussion:
For the last year, the Users Committee has been exploring
alternatives to upgrade the existing- computer-aided dispatch
system at the Regional Communications Center. A Request for
Proposal was drafted and several responses were received
relative to installing a new computer-aided dispatch system
using state -of -the art computer hardware and software.. It
was the intention of the proposals to provide for future
system expansion at RCC as the needs were identified.
A subcommittee of the Users Committee comprised of persons
with technical knowledge and abilities was formed to
evaluate the proposals submitted. This subcommittee is in
the process of making its final recommendations to the Users
Committee and eventually to the Board of Directors. As with
any new program, the concern relative to funding necessary
components was raised. This matter was then referred to .the
city managers of the participating cities for their review
and recommendations. The group of city managers has met and
formulated four funding programs:
Mayor and City Council
March 9, 1987
Page 2
1. Private lease purchase (five years);
2. Private lease purchase (seven years);
i
. /3
3. Certificates of participation (seven years); and
4. State. program alternate.
In order for the appropriate funding mechanism to be
identified and eventually recommended to the city councils
of the participating agencies, it is necessary to establish
a conceptual commitment to continue participation in the
SBRPCA by each agency. Once the cities have committed to
continuing participation for the next five years, the city
managers will then again meet to finalize the recommended
funding plan.
During my tenure as Chief of Police, I have found the SBRPCA
to provide a viable communications service to the
participants. I believe, at the present time, the continued
participation in the SBRPCA is appropriate and indeed will
continue to be so for the next five years. The Fire Chief
also concurs in this assessment and believes that
enhancement of the existing capability of the RCC relative
to computer-aided dispatch and certain management -
information systems is necessary and appropriate.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council make a 'commitment to
continued participation in the SBRPCA for five more years
predicated on the following:
1. The computer-aided dispatch system will be enhanced
and that the funding sought will be used solely for
such purposes as the acquisition of necessary
hardware and software.
2. That the level of service as presently provided to
the City of Manhattan Beach will remain consistent
or be substantially improved.
3. That the enhancement of the computer-aided dispatch
system will not result in further cost increase for
the delivery of service above those to be funded
for the acquisition of equipment.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of El Segundo
Gentlemen:
Subject: Police/Fire Dispatching
The police and fire computer-aided dispatch, operated through
the South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority, went
on line in 1976. This was one of the first multi -agency computer-
aided dispatch systems in the United States and used then state-
of-the-art technology that the Authority helped to develop
through a grant from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration.
The system was designed primarily for service to law enforcement,
with additional capability for fire dispatching. However,
the fire dispatching capability was limited, with no computer
terminal installed in fire vehicles.
The Authority has overcome the technical and operational
problems it experienced during the first few years and now
provides a very satisfactory level of service to its five
member cities. The same level of service could not be dupli-
cated individually by each city at the same cost. Both El
Segundo Fire Chief Robert Marsh and Police Chief Ray Lewis
have expressed satisfaction with the Authority and a desire
to extend and enhance the service it provides. (See attached
memos from Police and Fire Chiefs.)
After ten years of operation, the initial computer hardware
and software of the system are nearing the end of their useful
life. Advances in computer technology now make available a
wider range of services at reasonable cost. The Authority
proposes to replace the existing system with an upgraded
system that will provide a greatly enhanced fire dispatch
system with the ability to handle hazardous material inventory
and responses and both fire and police records systems. Proposals
have been invited and a tentative decision made, after evaluation
by the Authority Board of Directors and the fire and police chiefs
of all five cities, to award purchase of the new system to PRC
for an estimated cost of $950,000. El Segundo's share of this
cost is equal to 19.13%.
IP f 1 135c�tvL
Subject: Police/Fire Dispatching March 31, 1987
Proposals for financing the purchase have been obtained, and the
best option appears to be a seven-year private -placement lease/
purchase. The lease has been negotiated at an effective interest
rate of 6.05%, provided the financing can be completed before
May 1; 1987. Completion of the financing requires all five member
City Councils to make a commitment to Authority membership for
at least five or preferably seven years and enter into an operating
agreement for the lease/purchase financing: Documents necessary
to complete the purchase agreement will be -presented at the April
21 Council meeting. This matter is being presented to you in
advance to obtain conceptual approval for commitment to the
Authority and to the funding as outlined. Attached is a descrip-
tion of the lease/purchase agreement, including the required
lease payments for each of the five member cities.
Mr. Robert Benson, Executive Director of the Authority, will be
present at the April 7 meeting to assist in answering the Council's
questions on this matter.
Sincerely,
-Arthur E. Jones
City Manager

Subj.ct:. Financing of Computer -Aided Dispatch System Through SBRPCA
The final financial documents to complete the financing of the
new computer-aided dispatch system through the South Bay Regional
Public Communications Authority have been received and are
ready for Council action. The only action required of the
Council is approval of the resolution which incorporates the
approval of the service agreement. Copies of both have been
received by the City Attorney and are attached for your considera-
tion.
The net average annual debt has been reduced from $33,303 to
$33,087. This, in turn, reduced the City's total cost, including
interest charges, from $233,121 to $231,615. I recommend Council
approval of the resolution.

ESiBLISHING IN -LIEU SEWER CONNECTION FEE FOR
HERMOSA PAVILION COMMERCIAL PROJECT
With the concurrence of the developer this matter has been
continued to your June 9 regular meeting.
Yesterday we met with the developer. He has not yet completed
his "survey" of comparability re the sewer connection fee for
such a project in neighboring cities; we asked that he provide us
with a plumbing fixture listing so that a connection fee
calculation (based on the current Code provision) could be made.
He has agreed to make this data available to the Building &
Safety Director.
A further meeting is set with staff for June 2; a final report
will then be readied for your June 9 meeting.

General Plan Review Regarding Dwelling

Regular Meeting of
May 26, 1987
Units and Population
Recommendation
i l e
Background
At the City Council meeting of April 28, 1987, the City Council
requested information regarding the population and the number of
dwelling units projected in the General Plan in relationship to
the current population and dwelling units.
Analysis
Population: The 1979 plan based projected population growth on
the 1970 U.S. Census; average household size was estimated at 2.3
to 2.4 persons in the census. Using average household size and
multiplying by the estimated total maximum number of dwelling
units at buildout, the maximum population was projected to be
24,540.
The 1980 U.S. Census estimates average household size to be 1.9
persons.
`fir t 1 X16 cry,,,
Dwelling Units: Using a figure
(no source noted), the 1979 Pla
1,618 dwelling units could be
designations; many of the d
implemented through zoning. Ho
-----would go to higher density and
would result in down zoning, t
direction.
xisting dwelling units
ted that an additional
uilt under the General Plan
signations have never been
ever, examining how many areas

ere may not be any impact in any
The dwelling unit computat'•n was based on net acreage which
distorts the potential numb- of units that can actually be built
since the City is completely subdivided. The potential number of
units that can be built s generally less since the size of
individual lots limits e number of units to less than the
maximum density allowed.
Since 1979, the Bui Department indicates that there has been
a net increase of dwelling units (see attached report)
bringing the total to ',060 units.

Honorable Mayor and Members of

Recommendation:
May 18, 1987
City Council Meeting
of May 26, 1987
Request for Appropriation to Fund
Employee Service Pin Program
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Reaffirm its support for recognizing City Employees by en-
dorsing the re-initiation of the Employee Service Pin Program,
and
2. Appropriate $2,300 from Prospective Expenditures to Account
No. 001-400-1203-4305, Personnel Department Office Supplies for
the purchase of the Pins.
Background:
In 1966, the Civil Service Commission approved an Employee Ser-
vice Pin Program. That same year the City Council endorsed the
program and approved an allocation of funds for the purchase of
the pins.
The approved program is described in the attached memorandum dat-
ed August 19, 1966, from W. H. Harris, City Manager, to the Civil
Service Commission. The original conceptual drawings of the pin
is also attached to this report.
Inquiries from a number of current employees raised the question
of what had happened to this program. Following a review of ex-
isting records, it became clear that the program was not carried
forward much past 1974.
All current employees have been surveyed in order to ascertain
whether they have ever received a service pin and for which
years.
On August 12, 1986, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 86-848
which authorizes awards to be made in recognition of public
service.
Analysis:
As a result of the employee survey and a review of the records,
it has been determined that the total number of pins required to
bring the program up to date and continue it through 1988 is: 79
five year, 40 ten year, 21 fifteen year, 11 twenty year,
2 twenty-five year, 5 thirty year, and 1 thirty-five year. The
basic cost of each pin is approximeatly $7.50. Pins representing
the 10th and 15th year include either a synthetic ruby or sap-
phire for an additional $3.50 ea. an additional years pins are
adorned with a three to five point d-amond chip, or chips, at an
additional $7.00/point.
Of the total 159 pins required, 126 are for "catch-up", and 33
are for the 1987 and 1988 calendar years. It is intended that
all employees who were eligible for a particular year pin, and
did not receive it, will receive each pin to which they're
entitled.
Anticipated costs for future pin purchases will be calculated and
included in the Personnel Department's budget each fiscal year.
Following the purchase of the pins, an appropriate ceremony will
be initiated before the City Council to make the awards.

COST SHARING PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY
GOULD TERRACE HOMEOWNERS��!
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council authorize the City to
participate in the cost sharing proposal submitted by the Gould
Terrace Homeowners per Attachment A.
Background:
In October, 1986, Mr. Bert Skinner of 2805 Tennyson Place
received an easement from Mr. Frank Richardson of 625 Gould
Terrace to drain rain water across his property onto Gould
Terrace. On March 11, 1987, the City Council received a petition
from the Gould Terrace Homeowners to have Mr. Skinner's drain
extended under Gould Terrace to drain in the green belt of Mr.
Richardson's property to eliminate the mess the drainage is
making on Gould Terrace, (see Attachment B). Mr. Frank
Richardson has sent a letter to the City granting permission to
extend the drain onto his property (Attachment C).
Analysis:
This drainage matter is a private property concern. In the
interest of expediting a solution, the City (using Public Works
Department personnel) could extend the drain under Gould Terrace
to alleviate this drainage concern. Mr. Bert Skinner is willing
to pay one-half of the total cost of $605.00. The Homeowners on
Gould Terrace have requested that the City pay one-half of the
remaining balance, and they will pay the other half of the
remaining balance, as follows:
Cost to extend drain $605.00
Amount to be paid by Mr. Skinner
Amount to be paid by Homeowners
Amount to be paid by the City
Total
$302.50
151.25
151.25
$605.00
With Council approval, project can commence upon receipt of
monies from Mr. Skinner and the Gould Terrace Homeowners.
Fiscal Impact:
This work was not budgeted, but could be handled within the
existing Public Works operating budget.
No additional funding is anticipated.
1
Alternatives:
Other alternatives considered by staff and available to City
Council are:
1. Authorize the City Attorney to start legal proceedings
against Mr. Bert Skinner for violation of Cidy Code, Sec.
20-2 (k) Nuisance Affecting Public Safety (Attachment D).
This will take approximately 2 to 3 months and cost the City
a great deal more money and time, plus the continued
annoyance and potential safety concern to the homeowners on
Gould Terrace.
2. Do Nothing.

PETITION TO HERMOSA BEACH CITY
COUNCIL
BY GOULD TERRACE HOMEOWNERS
We the undersigned Gould Terrace homeowners hereby
petition the City of Hermosa Beach in certain matters related
to water and sand runoff as enumerated below:
Whereas the City of Hermosa Beach was deeded an 18'
roadway on November 26, 1940 (recorded in Book 17977 page
277, Los Angeles County Recorder) by Elizabeth and J. B.
Vogelsang into and over certain portions of lots 1 to 11
inclusive of Tract 12554, also known as Gould Terrace,
And whereas said deed was granted for the purpose of
maintaining, preserving, protecting and improving its street
system,
And whereas said Gould Terrace homeowners hereby plead
that water and sand drainage onto Gould Terrace from adjoin-
ing lots to the north is causing an erosion of Gould Terrace
and dangerous sand build up on Gould Terrace,
And whereas said Gould Terrace homeowners believe that
said water and sand condition contribute to and constitute a
safety hazard to all persons who use the street,
And whereas Gould Terrace never experienced the problems
with said water and sand until the City of Hermosa Beach
granted a permit. to Bert Skinner in October of 1986 whose
property is at 2805 Tennyson Place to install a drain line
ontp Gould Terrace,
We therefore request the Hermosa Beach City Couuncil to
consider corrective action as follows:
1. Cause homeowners from adjoining lots to the north
who dump sand and other debris onto Gould Terrace
to construct catch basins sufficient in size and
design to prevent sand, chemicals, toxics and other
garden debris from entering flood drain lines which
currently flow onto or across Gould Terrace.
2. Allow drain lines which now empty onto the surface
of Gould Terrace to be buried beneath Gould Terrace
and empty onto the Gould Avenue greenbelt right of
way where water can be absorbed into the ground, or
onto the Gould Avenue gutter.

Re: Cost Sharing Proposal Applicable to
Gould Terrace Homeowners Petition
Dear Mayor Coiffi and City Council Members:
At the March 24th city council meeting the Gould Terrace
Homeowners Petition was submitted requesting the drain
located at 625 Gould Terrace be extended onto the green belt
of Gould Avenue.
This problem was referred to the Public Works Director,
Tony Antich, for analysis by him and his staff, particularly
Gary Wheaton. We were informed lastweek that the city would
perform this work for a total cost of $605. The breakdown of
the cost is as follows:
24 man hours (3 men at 8 hrs. @ $15/hr.) $360
1 ton asphalt 25
1 roller 10
1 truck 20
1 back hoe 30
1 saw cut 60
1 ABS pipe 100
TOTAL 605
The Gould Terrace Homeowners are now concerned about how
this amount is to be paid. We understand from Gary Wheaton
that Bert Skinner will pay one-half of the amount. We feel
that the remaining half should be split 50/50 by the Gould
Terrace homeowners and the' City.
This Petition therefore requests that the City Council
consider splitting the remaining one-half of the cost
($302.50) 50% by the City of Hermosa Beach and 50% by the
Gould Terrace Homeowners - or $151.25 each.

Page Two
April 28, 1987
We would like this work to start immediately as there
appears to be a hazard to all persons who use the street or
sidewalk. As you are already aware, the constant sand and
water running across the sidewalk constitutes a hazard to
pedestrians. The sand and water on the asphalt affects
automobile stopping distance. The ramp at the extreme west
end of Gould Terrace is especially slippery and is used by
numerous school students on their way to and from classes.
All the water eventually ends in puddles at the inter-
section of Gould and Ardmore where cars are attempting to
stop and/or make turns.
In anticipation of your favorable response to the
proposed cost sharing arrangement, please advise where the
homeowners are to deposit their share of the project costs.
By copy of this Petition to Tony Antich, we are request-
ing him to schedule this Petition for hearing at the May 12 FV?
City Council Meeting and to present with it his staff report.
We would appreciate a confirmation when this has been done.
We sincerely thank you for your interest and support in
keeping our city streets free from known hazards.
Sincerely,
1,7)26/./
Marie Bertossi
Representative for Gould Terrace Homeowners
Phone: Work: (213) 879-3202
3. Cause the cost of corrective action to be borne by
the propery owners from adjoining lots to the north
whose property runoff is drained onto Gould Terrace
or by the City of Hermosa Beach at its option.
The following Gould Terrace homeowners respectfully
request favorable action on this petition to the Hermosa
Beach City Council.

Re: Easement and drainage to 625 Gould Terrace
-Dear Mr. & Mrs. Skinner:
_Thank you for your cooperation regarding the drainage problem
through the easement at 625 Gould Terrace.
Through the "experiment" last February 5, 1987 it appears that
the drain is clear of the debris which apparently was the cause
for this investigation.
The City will attempt to monitor this situation carefully and
hopefully without further incidents.
Please. contact my office if you have any questions.

Dear Mr. Grove:
629 Gould 'terrace

;75/17 ZeiLvt
We are residents of 629 Goiila Terrace in Hermosa
Beach. Mr. tsert Skinner kwtio lives at 2805 Tennyson
Place in Hermosa Beach) has been continuously contamina-
ting Gould Terrace from a waste water drain he installed
in November 01 1966. 'lease refer to the enclosed letter
and drawing which were delivered to Gary Wheaton of your
Public Works Department yesterday.
The purpose of this letter is to find out what can be
done to stop the improper use by Bert Skinner of this drain
for any other purpose other than rain water overflow. He is
not using the water drain for its intended purpose - which
was for rain water only. but rather as a sewer. It appears
that possi6Ty His §prinklers, gardening, pool drainage,
service area drains, etc., are all connected to this water
drain.
A second matter we would like to bring to your attention
is that Bert Skinner's rear wall which touches our property

Hermosa Beach,

Gentlemen:
We are residents of 629 Gould Terrace in Hermosa
Beach. Mr. Bert Skinner (who lives at 2805 Tennyson
Place in Hermosa Beach). has been continuously contamina-
ting Gould Terrace from a waste water drain he installed
in November of 1986. See drawing enclosed.
Is there any ordinance which would prevent Mr. Skinner
from continuing to do the following onto Gould Terrace:
1. Dumping cleaning solvents from clean-up of
paint brushes and pails.
2. Dumping cement and plaster contaminated water
onto Gould Terrace..
3. Draining pool water and chemicals onto street.
4. Washing sand and dirt onto street.
The residents of Gould Terrace wish to know if there
is any Hermosa Beach ordinance being violated by the above
actions of Bert Skinner. He is not using the water drain for
its intended purpose - which was for rain water only but
rather as a sewer. It appears that all of his drains through-
out his whole property are connected to this water drain.
Will you please give this matter your immediate attention
as we want to stop further contamination onto Gould Terrace
as quickly as possible.
Our phone numbers to be aintacted are: Home - 374-2848
Work - Marie 553-0310; ken 568-6037.

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
May 18, 1987
Regular Meeting of
May 26, 1987
AGREEMENT FOR INSPECTION AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICES FOR
SANITARY SEWER TARGET AREA II, CIP 85-402
Recommendation: CkA\p0.4
s recommended that City Council:
Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the attached
Agreement for Inspection and Administration Services for
Sanitary Sewer (85-402) for a cost not to exceed $42,680.
Authorize staff to issue addenda as necesary.
ckround:
On May 12, 1987, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign an
agreement (in the amount of $527,925, plus a contingency not to
exceed 1070)) with Christeve Corporation for the construction of
the above -referenced project, and construction is scheduled to
begin early July, 1987. This project will require inspection
services currently beyond the staffing and level of expertise
available within the department.
Analysis:
During March, 1987, staff mailed Request for Proposals to eight
(8) consulting engineering firms. Proposals were due on April
23, 1987, and were submitted from five (5) consultants, as
follows:
Santina & Thompson $34,550
ASL Consulting Engineers $38,800
Barrett Consulting Group (Approx)..$40,000
(proposal incomplete)
Charles Abbott & Associates $41,400
Willdan Associates $46,000
Each of these engineering firms was called back for an oral
interview on May 1, 1987.
Based upon their proposals, interview presentations and
qualifications, ASL Consulting Engineers is the most qualified
firm. Even though Santina & Thompson proposed the lowest cost,
ASL's inspection experience record is more appropriate for this
type of project. Staff recommends awarding the agreement to ASL.
Coincidentally, ASL was also the design engineer for this
project. This may prove to be advantageous to the City, since
1
1q
the inspector will better understand the intent of the plans and
specifications.
Fiscal Impact:

RELATED EXPERIENCE
Founded in 1949 by Frank E. Alderman, the firm was incorporated in
1958 as Alderman and Swift, a California Corporation. Since 1970, the
organization has been doing business as Alderman, Swift and Lewis with
a corporate name change in 1978 to ASL Consulting Engineers. As an
independent consulting engineering firm it is owned entirely by its
active principals.
In 1975, corporate operations were transferred to the second genera-
tion for leadership. Thirty-one year veteran with the organization,
William D. Lewis, is President of ASL Consulting Engineers.
Headquartered in Pasadena, the firm operates satellite offices in
Santa Ana and Palm Springs.
ASL Consulting Engineers performs complete civil, structural, traffic
and transportation engineering services for municipalities, public and
private water agencies, flood control and sanitary districts, large
industries, industrial, residential and commercial developers.
Particular pride is taken in the fact that a great majority of our
projects are for clients of long standing, many for more than ten
years and several for over twenty years.
From our Los Angeles County office, we have provided water works and
sanitary engineering services to several cities, public agencies, and
private clients in Ventura County.
ASL's involvement in wastewater system planning, design, and construc-
tion management has been extensive over our 37 year history. Our
activities in this field include master planning of entire sewer
systems, review and preparation of sewer design and construction
manuals, design of trunk lines and collection systems, rehabilitation
of existing and design of new lift stations, design of treatment faci-
lities for industrial and domestic wastes, design of automated super-
visory controls, and establishment of assessment districts to finance
these facilities. We make extensive use of proprietary and state-of-
the-art computer programs for the inventory, analysis, design, and
financial reporting of wastewater collection and treatment systems, as
well as for in-house resource management and construction management
functions.
ASL has taken a lead in the development of space -efficient and aesthe-
tically attractive designs for lift stations ranging in capacities
from a few hundred gpm to 11,500 gpm. We also specialize in state-of-
the-art techniques for sewer pipeline rehabilitation.
ASL Consulting Engineers
Recent design efforts include below grade lift stations designed to be
constructed at grade and lowered to their ultimate buried positions,
in order to avoid high groundwater problems. Several rehabilitation
and repair projects for sewer trunk lines and lift stations have also
been recently completed, including lining in-place with polyethylene
liner pipe.
Following is a representative listing of projects completed by ASL.

S ,}{O BALLOT MEAS RE - PURCHASE OF RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY
May 20, 1987
City Council Meeting
May 26, 1987
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council review the Background
Materials provided and give staff further direction i.e.,
preparation of another "Advisory Measure" for the November
ballot; or begin preparation for an actual bond measure for the
ballot, which would have to placed at the next regular election
date in April, 1988.
BACKGROUND
At the City Council Meeting of May 12, 1987, staff was directed
to prepare a report regarding a legislative initiative on the
November ballot for the purchase of the Railroad Right of Way.
An "Advisory Measure" was placed on the Ballot in April, 1984
regarding this property. (Exhibit "A") It passed by 76%. It
basically asked if the City should support a bond issue to buy
the land, with a price range of $3,500,000 to $15,000,000
mentioned in the Impartial Analysis and Arguments.
n November, 1984, the Railroad Property was combined with the
South School Site in a proposed Mello -Roos District. (Exhibit
"B"). This measure received 44% affirmative votes, and needed
2/3 for passage.
ANALYSIS
Basically, the electorate has already indicated supporting a bond
measure in the price range of $3 to $15 million. A new bond issue
could be presented to the electorate at the next regular
election date.
The other alternative available is to direct staff to prepare
another "Advisory Measure" for the ballot, and give direction as
to the nature of the question.

i
IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS BY CITY ATTORNEY
OF MEASURE A
This measure asks the voter if he or she favors a city supported bond
issue to raise money to acquire the railroad right-of-way for open space and
parkland purposes. The measure is advisory. If it recei,ves a majority yes
vote, the City is not required to act on it.
If it does pass and is acted upon, the City would issue bonds in an
amount necessary to acquire the right-of-way and become indebted to
repay the amount. The cost of the land would be subject to negotiiation. The
the
owner, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company,
land to the City for $15,000,000 in 1983. The City has counter offered
$3,500,000. The railroad values the land according
land the
avalue
u not to
s
adjacent to the right-of-way. The Cityvalues
current open space zoning.
Assuming the City and Santa Fe could agree upon a price, bonds could
be repaid from sources such as: a) general funds of the city, b) General
ion A
Revenue Sharingbeenproposed, b t an increase could be included in the bond
increase h
proposal itself.
The measure advises that, if acquired, the land should be used for open
space and parkland purposes. The land is presently zoned open space.
ited development, the
ty, as
owner,
the n space zone compelled against itslw wishes to allow any development
owner, could not be comp ,
on the land.
CHARLES J. POST
City Attorney
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE A
Measure A deals with one of the most important issues to face the City
of Hermosa Beach in the past twenty years. At stake is the question of the
use of the Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way. Will the right-of-way be de-
veloped to its full commercial and residential potentialwill
the propfor erty
be acquired by the City to be retained as open space/parkland
the
recreational use of the citizens of Hermosa Beach.
The vote is advisory and asks the citizens of Hermosa Beach if they
would be willing in the future to vote for a bond issue to provide the City
with the money necessary to purchase the right-of-way. The actual cost is
unknown but will probably vary from a low of $5,000,000 to a high of
$15,000,000. The bonds would be paid off over a thirty year period through
a combination of general revenues, rental revenues and special assess-
ments as detailed in the bond issue.
The council wants to know two things, first, does the public want
City to acquire the property, second, is the public willing to pay for the
purchase.
We, the members of the City Council,'strongly urge a yes vote on
Measure A.

Said tax to be levied on an equivalent dwelling unit basis. For residential
property, said tax shall not exceed $126 per dwelling unit per year. For commer-
cial and industrial property, the maximum annual rate of tax shall not exceed $.11
per square foot or portion thereof per year.

District No. 1.
CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE 0
This proposition has been placed on the ballot by the City Council pursuant to
the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. Under this act the City may
form a district for the purpose of financing public capital facilities and services.
The City has followed the procedures under the Act to form a City-wide
district and to place before the voters the question of whether there shall be levied a
special tax to secure bonds for the purpose of acquiring, for park and open space
uses, all or part of the approximately 20 acres of the Santa Fe railroad right-of-
way, the approximately 5 acres of surplus school property at 446 Monterey
Boulevard (the South School site), and .275 acres of surplus school property at
19th Street and Prospect Avenue (the Seaview Parkette site).
The special tax shall not exceed $126.00 per unit per year for residential
property and not exceed $.11 per square foot per year for commercial and
industrial property.
The bonds shall be in a principal amount not to exceed $13,500,000 for a term
not to exceed 30 yeats at an interest rate not to exceed 12% per year. Repayment is
to be made by the entire area of the City-wide district.
Two thirds of those voting at the election must vote in favor of the proposition
for it to pass.
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE 0
A yes vote on this proposition is an investment in the future. It is your vote for
public parks and open space. A yes vote is your vote against development of these
properties. A yes vote is your vote to ensure that our community has parkland now
and in the future.
At the present time the City does not own the properties described in this
proposition. It simply controls the zoning and general plan designation. This
merely restricts the type and amount of development. It does not guarantee public
access or use as a park or jogging path.
Failure of this proposition will:
1. Deprive residents of parkland.
2. Make a portion of South School available for R-3 development.
3. Lead to possible development of the railroad right-of-way.
4. Ensure additional legal costs in defense of the City's open space zoning
and general plan designation of the railroad right-of-way.
Approval of this proposition will:
I. Ensure public parks and a jogging path.
2. Prevent development.
3. Preserve open space.
4. Enhance property values and quality of life in Hermosa Beach.
Now is the time to act! We have the opportunity to transform our desires for
parkland and open space into reality.

City Council Meeting of
May 26, 1987
PROPOSED FIVE YEAR COMMUNITY RECREATION AGREEMENT FOR COUNTY
LIFEGUARD AND BEACH CLEANING SERVICES AT
q)"\ HERMOSA BEACH
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
Approve the attached five year agreement with the Los Angeles
ounty Department of Harbors and Beaches for Lifeguard and Beach
Cleaning services (subject to the City Attorney approving the
language of the Indemnification clause) and authorize the_ Mayor
to sign the Agreement; - ��-
Authorize staff to refine the Citation surch ge concept with
ounty staff, with the understanding that the s rcharge would not
xceed $3/citation and that the combination of court construction
and beach operation surcharges could not exceed $3; draft legis-
lation to then be submitted back to City Council for endorsement
and authorization to seek League support, utilization of lobbyist
etc.
BACKGROUND
At your May 12th meeting you received a status report. Council
direction was to "approve in concept a new 5 year agreement, sub-
ject to 11 conditions". Additionally staff was instructed to:
1. Seek a modification in the trash pickup service,
2. Modify the Marketing clause from City Manager approval
to City Council,
3. Continue to pursue with the County the possibility of a
Citation surcharge for beach operations/capital income.
ANALYSIS
The attached Agreement is in conformance with the Council's May
12 instruction. It contains the following provisions:,
5 W IAC S -D o4.,
1
1. A 5 year agreement subject to a one year cancellation
clause; City and County to negotiate an extension (or
a new Agreement) during the fourth year;
2. County to:
A.
Furnish all lifeguard services
B. Furnish custodial maintenance services -
1. Restrooms
2. Rake and sanitize beach
3. Burial of kelp and dead animals
4. Refuse containers, at least 5 times/week
during peak and at least 3 times in winter
5. Contour beach
6. Cleaning of lifeguard headquarters & towers
7. Minor repairs to restrooms (up to 8 hour jobs)
8. All maintenance and repairs to lifeguard head-
quarters and towers
3. City to:
A.
B.
C.
Be responsible for Pier
Furnish tree trimming services
Provide animal control services on the beach
D. Seek to implement a Litter Patrol service,
commencing for summer 1988
E. Perform major repairs t� the restrooms (work
requiring more than 8 hours word/project)
F. Be responsible for Strand wall and
systems
G. Carry out its duties per Agreement
Flood Control
all lighting
with County
4. City to notify County with 30 days notice of any public
improvements being done on the beach
5. County to not undertake any physical construction/
on the beach (except at its own buildings or in
dealing with an emergency) without consent of City
6. City to create a Beaches Asset Replacement Fund for
the purpose of having a designated depository for
grant monies to be used to repair/upgrade capital
improvements
7. City has sole right to issue Special Event permits;
County to be apprised of each and County may also
be an applicant for such; County to be reimbursed
for all actual expenses engendered by a Special
Event
8. County Marketing program sanctioned, limited to tide -
boards, refuse containers, trucks, uniforms, rescue
boats and related lifeguard equipment, no alcoholic
or tobacco products allowed.
As directed by the City Council, there was further discussion re
refuse pick up. It was agreed that the County would exercise due
diligence and pick up refuse at whatever level is needed in order
to maintain a safe and healthy beach. The 1970 contract
specified a summer frequency of twice a week. The new contract
contains an "at least 5 times/week for summer and at least 3
times/week during the winter" clause. This is a considerable
improvement in establishing the minimum level of service.
However, it is not the 7 days/week summer schedule desired by the
City Council.
County Beaches personnel have indicated an awareness of the need
for maintaining cleanliness on the beach. All efforts will be
made to do so, including refuse pick up more frequently than 5
days/week. However, contractually the County is not prepared to
obligate at a higher level. One determinant is equipment and
personnel - both are in limited supply. On the other hand, the
number of refuse containers can be varied (i.e. in the winter
some containers are withdrawn from service, during the summer
more barrels can be added). We therefore ask that you approve
Section 2.03 g) as described on page 3 of the Agreement. If
cleanliness problems develop we will then deal directly with
County operations personnel.
SUMMARY
The spirit and intent of this Argeement is to clearly establish
areas of responsibility, minimize each agencies out of pocket
expenses, and preserve Hermosa Beach as a premier, qualitative
recreational facility.

the State of California, including, but not limited to, personal
injury, bodily injury, death, and property damage occurring on
and within the BEACH, and arising out of any negligent or
7
wrongful act or omission in the performance of the custodial
maintenance and lifeguard obligations that have been assumed by
the COUNTY in this agreement. In addition when liability arises
pursuant to Chapter 2, Part 2, Division 3.6 of Title 1,
commencing with Section 830 of the California Government Code, by
reason of (1) a dangerous condition of the public restrooms,
lifeguard headquarters and towers on the BEACH that is created by
an act or omission of the agents, officers and employees of the
COUNTY in the performance of the custodial maintenance obligation
that has been assumed by the COUNTY for these structures under
the agreement, or (2) a dangerous condition of the public
restrooms on the BEACH that is created by a condition of disrepair
for which it is the obligation of the CITY under the agreement to
protect, repair, remedy or correct, and of which the COUNTY has
actual notice but fails to give the CITY notice of the condition
of disrepair prior to the date the condition of disrepair causes
injury or damage, the COUNTY agrees to assume the entire
liability for the dangerous condition, and defend, indemnify and
hold the CITY harmless from liability for the dangerous
condition, including the alleged act or omission of the CITY, its
agents, officers and employees, to protect against, repair,
remedy, or correct the dangerous condition, to provide safeguards
against the dangerous condition, or warn of the dangerous
condition. It is understood and agreed by the CITY that the
foregoing assumption of liability by the COUNTY for liability
arising pursuant to Chapter 2, Division 3.6 of Title 1,
commencing with Section 830 of the Government Code shall not be
8
deemed, to be either an expressed or implied, acceptance by the
COUNTY of an obligation to.defend, indemnify, or hold harmless
the CITY for liability arising pursuant to Section 830, et seq.
of the Government Code, by reason of a dangerous condition of the
beach that is created by a condition of the piers and groins or a
natural condition or hybrid natural and artificial condition of
the upland, the accretions to the upland, the tide and submerged
land, and the ocean, including the alleged act or omission of the
COUNTY, its agents, officers and employees, to protect against,
repair, remedy, or correct the dangerous condition, to provide
safeguards against the dangerous condition, or to warn of the
dangerous condition.
8.02 CITY agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the COUNTY
harmless from and against any and all liability and expense,
including defense costs and legal fees, caused by the negligent
or wrongful act or omission of the CITY, its agents, officers,
and employees to the extent that such liability is imposed upon
the COUNTY by the provisions of Section 895.2 of the Government
Code of the State of California, including, but not limited to,
personal injury, bodily injury, death, and property damage
occurring on and within the BEACH caused by the negligent act or
omission of the agents, officers and employees of the CITY in the
performance of the obligations assumed by the CITY in this
agreement. In addition, when liability arises upon any cause of
action pursuant to Section 830 et secl.,of the Government Code, by
reason of a dangerous condition of the BEACH that is created by
9
either (1) a condition of the piers and groins or (2) a condition
of the public restrooms for which it is the obligation of the
CITY under the agreement to protect, repair, remedy or correct
and of which the CITY has actual notice or of which the COUNTY
has no actual notice, or (3) a natural condition, or a hybrid
natural and artificial condition of the upland, the accretions to
the upland, the tide and submerged land and the ocean, the CITY
agrees to and shall assume liability and shall defend, indemnify,
and hold the COUNTY harmless from liability for the dangerous
condition, including but not limited to, any alleged failure of
the COUNTY, its agents, officers and employees, to protect
against, repair, remedy, or correct the dangerous condition, to
provide safeguards against the dangerous condition,- or to warn of
the dangerous condition. The term "Natural Condition" is defined
to mean a condition of the land and ocean that has not been
physically changed by some work of improvement having been made,
such as by way of illustration and not limitation, cliffs, rocks,
ravines, rip currents, shallow water, bottom slope, depressions,
trenches, sand bars, wave break and refraction. The term "Hybrid
Natural and Artificial Condition" is defined to mean a condition
that is created by a combination of a Natural Condition of the
land and water and an alleged act or omission of the COUNTY, its
agents, officers and employees, that is either not performed or
inadequately performed with respect to the protection, repair,
remedy, correction, safeguard or warning of the Natural
Condition.
8.03 Any dispute between the parites over their respective
obligations for indemnification that cannot be resolved by mutual
agreement of the parties shall be submitted for determination by
arbitration under the California Arbitration Act or any
amendments or reenactments of the Act over the term of the
agreement. However, the foregoing notwithstanding, it is agreed
that until a final determination has been made, the respective
obligations for indemnity shall be performed in accordance with
the provision of paragraph 8.03.01. Once the determination has
been made, the arbitrator shall determine the rights of the
parties to any reimbursement for the respective costs that are
incurred pending final resolution of their dispute based upon
whether there was a prevailing party in the arbitration to
resolve the dispute, and if so, which party prevailed.
8.03.01 The costs of the judgement, settlement and defense of
the third party tort claimant's claim and lawsuit inclusive of
the costs of attorneys, witnesses, experts, investigation,
discovery, trial and appeal, shall be equally shared between the
parties with the COUNTY assuming fifty percent of the costs of
the claim and lawsuit, and the CITY assuming the other fifty
percent of such costs. The county counsel and the city attorney
shall provide joint representation for the named party defendants
in the litigation that is commenced and exercise joint control
over the defense of the case in the trial and appellate courts.
In the event of a disagreement between the two attorneys over how
the defense of the case should be conducted in the trial and
appellate courts, the disagreement shall be resolved by allowing
the attorney who wishes to engage in the course of action on
which there is disagreement to proceed at the sole cost of the
party that the attorney customarily represents which in the case
of the county counsel is the COUNTY and in the case of the city
attorney is the CITY. However, the foregoing procedure for joint
representation of named party defendants and joint control of
litigation notwithstanding, the county counsel shall represent
all named party defendants who have been named in the litigation
that has been commenced, whenever the city attorney determines in
the exercise of his sole discretion that it would be to the best
interest of the CITY for the county counsel to represent all the
named party defendants in the case. In the event of a
representation of all the named party defendants by the county
counsel, it is agreed by the COUNTY that the county counsel shall
keep the city attorney advised on the status of the case, control
the defense of the case in the trial and appellate courts subject
to a right of consultation by the city attorney on the decisions
that are made, obtain the prior
before hiring private attorneys
approval of the city attorney
and expert witnesses to assist in
the defense of the case, and pay for the costs of the defense as
incurred; and, it is agreed by the CITY that the city attorney
shall assist the county counsel in producing such witnesses and
documents under the control of the CITY that may be required in
the defense of the case, shall not unreasonably withhold his
right of approval over private attorneys and expert witnesses
selected by the county counsel, and shall approve all correct
invoices submitted by the county counsel for reimbursement by the
CITY of the City's proportionate share of the costs of defense
that have been paid by the COUNTY. Any claim and lawsuit shall
require the joint approval of the COUNTY and the CITY before an
agreement for the release of the claim and a dismissal of the
lawsuit can be made and entered with the third party tort
claimant. In the case of settlements and final judgments each
party shall pay its proportionate share of the total amount
directly to the third party tort claimant.
8.04 The obligations assumed by the parties in article 8
shall survive the termination of the agreement, whether by
expiration of term or otherwise, as to claims arising for
personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage,
occurring on or before the date of termination.
8.05 The indemnity provided in 8.01 and 8.02 shall be excess
to any other indemnity coverage protecting the parties from third
party tort liability arising out of their acts or omissions and
dangerous conditions on the BEACH.
8.06 In the event that there is indemnity for the third
party tort liability under both paragraphs 8.01 and 8.02, it is
agreed that the liability shall be equally shared between the
parties with the COUNTY assuming fifty percent of the costs of
the judgment, settlement and defense of the claim and lawsuit,
and the CITY assuming the other fifty percent. It is further
agreed that the control over the claims and lawsuits that are
subject to the combined indemnity described in this paragraph
shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of paragraph
8.03.01.
8.07 This agreement of indemnity shall supersede any and all
other agreements of indemnity between the parties with respect to
their liability for the BEACH by reason of their being parties to
an agreement as defined in Section 895 of the California
Government Code that is still in force and effect on the
effective date of this amendment to this agreement.

beach operations at Hermosa Beach.

County Obligations - Subject to the availability of funding,
the County will provide lifeguard and custodial beach maintenance
services, minor repairs to public facilities, and all maintenance
of lifeguard facilities.
City Obligations - The City will be responsible for the pier,
major repairs and refurbishment of public facilities, tree
trimming, and animal control. The City will establish a
capital outlay fund for repair and replacement of public
improvements and establish a summer litter patrol, court
referral program, and other volunteer efforts to reduce the
County's need to provide beach maintenance labor.
Indemnification - The City will have liability for the pier,
groins, natural conditions, and dangerous conditions of facility
improvements. The County will be liable for negligent acts
of its employees in providing lifeguard and custodial maintenance
services.
Revenue - The County currently receives no revenue from Hermosa
Beach. The City will reimburse the County for all extraordinary
services provided to special events permitted by the City
and permit the County to pursue its marketing program.
County Cost
The City's assumption of responsibility for pier maintenance,
major repairs to public facilities, tree trimming, and provision
of a summer litter patrol and other services will reduce
the County's cost of operating Hermosa Beach. New revenue

generated by special events and the marketing program will
further reduce our cost. These efforts will result in an
annual decrease in net County cost of approximately $100,000
as detailed in the attachment.
In a further effort to assist the County in reducing its beach
operating costs, the City suggested that the County pursue
State legislation which would add a surcharge on all parking
citations issued in the coastal zone. This surcharge would
be distributed to local governments for the sole purpose of
providing lifeguard and maintenance services at public beaches
in the jurisdiction where the citations were issued. Senator
Alan Robbins has already agreed to introduce this legislation
in January, 1988, and I believe we can expect coastal city
support. Although we have no estimate of the impact of this
legislation, it could generate significant revenue and greatly
reduce the net County cost of beach operations.
Our philosophy in ail contract negotiations has been to relieve
the County of major liability, to gain approval to pursue
our revenue generating programs, and to reduce County cost
by any means available to the City. In the case of Hermosa
Beach, I'm convinced we have achieved the best agreement possible
considering resources available to the City.
On May 12, 1987, the City Council approved the terms of the

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Hermosa Beach City Council of May 26, 1987
• INFORMATIONAL REPORT REGARDING CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES IN PRIVATE PARKING LOTS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Instruct staff to return June 9, 1987 with an
ordinance amending HBMC, Section 21-23; Drinking on
street or playground, in order to regulate drinking
in private parking lots and a posting of notice
requirement.
BACKGROUND:
At a regular meeting of City Council, Council directed staff to
return on May 26 with a report regarding the consumption of
alcoholic beverages in private parking lots.
ANALYSIS:
Currently, the City of Hermosa Beach does not have a Municipal
Code Ordinance regulating open containers or consumption of
alcohol on private parking lots.
Several cities in the area were contacted to determine what
actions have been taken in other cities. The cities of Manhattan
Beach and Redondo Beach have not addressed enforcement of this
issue. The City of Torrance recently enacted ordinances
governing open alcohol containers on the posted parking lots
immediately adjacent to any establishment licensed to sell
alcoholic beverages (attached).
They simultaneously enacted legislation which mandates that those
establishments must post their parking lots advising the public
of the restrictions regarding open containers. Failure to do so
would result in a misdemeanor filing procedure against the
business (attached).

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City Hall
Torrance, California -
Members of the City Council:
SUBJECT: Regulation of Possession of Opened
Alcoholic Beverage Container on
Posted Premises of Off -Sale
Alcoholic Beverage Licensee
ABSTRACT
Two Ordinances are presented; one which would prohibit
possession of an opened bottle, can, or other receptacle
containing any alcoholic beverage on a posted parking lot
immediately adjacent to any retail package off -sale
alcoholic beverage licensed premise and/or on any public
sidewalk immediately adjacent to the licensed and posted
premises; and a second which would require the above posting
of the premises.
,.c
BACKGROUND
Until recently there was no enabling authority allowing
cities to adopt local ordinances regulating possession of
open alcoholic beverage containers on private property
(parking lots) adjacent to off -sale premises. Since there
was no existing State Law regulating this non-public land
area, enforcement authority has been non-existent.
The California Legislature added Penal Code Section 647e
i which enables local agencies to regulate alcohol problems on '
specific private land areas.
Penal Code Section 647e deals with:
Alcoholic beverages; possession of opened container on
premises of or on the sidewalk adjacent to premises of
retail package licensee; regulation by local ordinance.
Any person violating any provision of such an ordinance
shall be guilty of an infraction.
Any local ordinance adopted pursuant to this section
shall require posting of the premises.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to a
private residential parking lot which is immediately
adjacent to the posted premises.
11A
ANALYSIS
Uniformed police officers have for some time now been
experiencing individuals who, while sitting in private
vehicles parked in lots adjacent to off -sale premises, are
in possession of open alcoholic beverage containers. Since
currently there are no statutes allowing enforcement of such
activities, officers cannot effectively deal with drinking
in, .or out of, vehicles in off -sale parking lots.
RECOMMENDATION
The Police Department recommends adoption of both
Ordinances.

ABSTRACT
The Cities of Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach are sponsoring a
demand response, curb to curb, Dial -A -Ride Program. Both Cities
are eligible for Incentive Funds according to the Los Angeles
Transportation Commission Guidelines.
Also, the Cities of Hermosa Beach and Rancho Palos Verdes have
joined in a cooperative effort to look into improving commuter
service to El Segundo/Airport/Aerospace employment centers along
the Coastal Corridor. The first phase will involve a study and
the second phase will involve implementation of a new commuter
service.
As a condition of LACTC approval, the City Council must approve
both applications. The proposed Resolutions fullfill this
requirement.
BACKGROUND -
On April 23, 1987, Staff submitted applications for Subregional
Incentive Funds to the Los Angeles Transportation Commission.
On February 2, 1987, the City of Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach
commenced service of the "WAVE" Dial -A -Ride Program.
On October 28, 1986, the City of Hermosa Beach entered into a
three year contract with the City of Redondo Beach to operate the
"WAVE" Dial -A -Ride Program.
On March 17, 1987, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes authorized an
application for Proposition A Discretionary Funds under the
Incentive Program for a commuter bus study and implementation of
a commuter service.
On March 10, 1987, City Council approved a final Request For
Proposal for a transportation study to improve and expand the
Hermosa Commuter Service and examine other services in the area.
On December 2, 1986, the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council
approved contributing funds to the study.
ANALYSIS
Redondo Beach Staff submitted an application for Proposition A
Discretionary Funds under the Subregional Paratransit Incentive
Program for the joint Dial -A -Ride Program. The Incentive Program
provides up to 20% of operating costs for paratransit systems.
sponsored by two or more cities.
Available Subregional Funds: $104,420
Hermosa Beach Receives: 52,210 (507 of above funds)
Hermosa Beach Staff submitted two applications for Proposition A
Discretionary Funds under the Subregional Paratransit and Service
Restructuring Incentive Program. One application is for the
commuter study and the other is for a commuter service to be
implemented.
Because of the regional nature of the study, LACTC has informed
Staff that they will fund up to 507 of the total costs of the
commuter study with Incentive Funds in addition to dedicated
Proposition A allocations. The total proposed cost of the study
is $50,000; available Incentive Funds total $25,000.
Upon completion of the study, a new commuter service will be
implemented. The Incentive Program provides up to 207 of total
operating costs for this program because two cities are committed
to this program. Proposed operating budget is $325,000;
available Incentive Funds total $70,000.

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
A. Goals and Objectives
The goals of the Hermosa Beach Commuter Bus Program are to
improve access to the El Segundo Employment Center and
Airport Parking Lot "B", and decrease traffic congestion
during the peak commuter hours in the South Bay Corridor
particularly along Pacific Coast Highway. Program goals and
objectives for FY 1987-88 are:
1. Offer an attractive, quality commuter service to
residents in the South Bay Corridor.
2. Increase ridership through marketing strategies and
route reschedulings.
3. Restructure and expand the Hermosa Commuter Bus to
serve more firms in the El Segundo employment center
including firms located east of Pacific Coast
Highway.
4. Improve cost effectiveness.
5. Determine the potential participation of other
cities located along the South Bay Corridor from the
Palos- Verdes area to the airport area.
6. Examine the feasibility of utilizing corporate
participation and partnership in promoting and
operating the system.
B. Setting
Currently, the Hermosa Commuter Bus transports residents
of Hermosa Beach to the El Segundo Employment Center.
It is proposed that the new program incorporate
participation from other cities in the South Bay
Corridor to better relieve traffic congestion along
Pacific Coast Highway and develop a more regional
service.
Pacific Coast Highway is a commuter corridor between the
Palos Verdes Peninsula and El Segundo, encompassing
approximately a 20 -mile stretch. The direction of
traffic congestion is generally northbound in the
morning and southbound in the afternoon. Cities
impacted by this traffic congestion are: The Peninsula
Cities, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach,
El Segundo, Torrance, and Lawndale.
C. Identification of Need
A substantial number of residents from the cities
mentioned above are employed in the El Segundo
Employment Center. All of these cities are impacted by
commuter traffic along Pacific Coast Highway.
The City of El Segundo has enacted a transportation
systems management ordinance which compels employers in
the El Segundo Employment Center to encourage employees
to use transit and to minimize trip generation from
their facilities.
Survey responses from riders indicate that the Hermosa
Commuter Bus is preferred over RTD and automobiles
because it is convenient and more amenable than other
available systems.
D. Coordination and Consolidation
'The Cities of Hermosa Beach and Rancho Palos Verdes have
joined in a cooperative effort to look into improving
the commuter service to the El Segundo Employment
Center. A consultant will be hired to evaluate what
improvements can be made to the service and how other
services in the area could compliment the commuter
service, particularly through transfer agreements.
Cities impacted by traffic congestion
been approached to participate in the
study is completed, these cities will

E. Administration
Currently, the City of Hermosa Beach is the lead agency
in the administration of the program. As the program
expands, participating cities will be ask to help in the
administration of the program because the City of
Hermosa Beach has an insufficient amount of staff
members to administer the program entirely. However, the
City of Hermosa Beach will remain the lead agency in the
administration of the new program.
The City of Hermosa Beach contracts with a transit
operator for transportation services. It is the
contractor's responsibility to provide the vehicles,
drivers, maintenance, and other operating functions.
F. Marketing Program
The system will be marketed through major employers in
El Segundo. These firms have a powerful incentive'to
promote a commuter service in the area because they are
subject to El Segundo's Systems Mangement Ordinance.
�/9 -
The following marketing strategies will be evaluated by
the consultant:
1. Utilize the El Segundo firms to promote the
program.
2. Create promotional events.
3. Revise brochures and posters.
4. Design advertising for the local newspapers
emphasizing pictures.
5. Develop free promotions.
6. Develop better ticket sales program.
7. Develop letter for direct mailing to major
employment center employees.
G. Service Delivery
The existing Hermosa Commuter Bus is a specialized
fixed -route with an established schedule. Residents and
non-residents are eligible to ride the service. The
-expanded and improved will have the same characteristics
and requirements.

ENCROACHMENT ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION UPDATE
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council:
we
1. Introduce Ordinance No. 87- , An ordinance of the City
of Hermosa Beach, California amending Ordinance No. 85-821;
as amended, identifying the approval process of commercial
encroachment permit applications.
yl
2.
Adopt Resolution No. 87- , A resolution of the City of
Hermosa Beach, California, amending Resolution No. 85-4885;
as amended to establish additional policies for
encroachments on City right-of-way and amend Resolution No.
86-4932; as amended, changing the requirement for
residential encroachments permit liability insurance and
approving changes to the City of Hermosa Beach Encroachment
Permit Endorsement.
Background
From August 13, 1985 through February 14, 1986, members of City
Council and City staff prepared a policy regulating the placement
of encroachments in the public right-of-way.
Since the effective date of the Encroachment Ordinance on
February 14, 1986, 21 residential encroachment permit
applications and 3 commercial encroachment permit applications
were processed. During review and after approval of these
applications, staff became aware that some encroachment
guidelines are difficult to interpret. These will be discussed
in more detail in the analysis.
The purpose of this report is to "clean up" the City's policies
governing encroachments within the public right-of-way.
Proposed revisions addressing areas of concern are:
Concern 1.
Concern 2.
Concern 3.
Concern 4.
Streamlining Commercial Encroachment Permit
application process.
Policy for existing encroachments.
Required amount of liability insurance for
Residential Encroachment Permits.
Update City of Hermosa Beach Encroachment Permit
Endorsement.

Analysis
The following ordinance, resolutions and encroachment permit
agreements are attached as reference material:
1. Resolution No. 85-4885
2. Ordinance No. 85-821 - pages 1 through 5 and page 16. There
are no recommended amendments to pages 6 through 16.
3. Resolution No. 86-4932 - including:
a. Residential Encroachment Permit Agreement, pages 3 and 4.
There are no recommended changes to pages 1 and 2.
CONCERN NO. 1
ORDINANCE 85-821
Ordinance 85-821 regulates the placement of encroachments within
the public right-of-way.
CONCERN:
Staff is desirous of streamlining the Commercial Encroachment
permit process.
EXISTING WORDING:
"Section 29.36. Commercial Encroachments.
Approvals of all commercial encroachments shall be done under
the Conditional Use Permit process and the rules and
guidelines are set forth herein."
DISCUSSION:
The above statement does not clearly identify the process by
which Commercial Encroachment Permit Applications shall be
reviewed and approved.
PROPOSED CHANGE:
Recommended wording for the amendment to Ordinance 85-821 is as
follows:
Section 29.36. Commercial Encroachments.
Approvals of all commercial encroachments shall be done in
conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit process, shall be
reviewed by the Environmental Review Committee and the rules
and guidelines are set forth herein.
2
CONCERN NO. 2.
RESOLUTION NO. 85-4885
Resolution No. 85-4885 establishes a policy for encroachments on
to City right-of-way.
CONCERN:
No policy exists for improvements to existing encroachments when
the adjacent structure is not remodeled or removed.
EXISTING WORDING:
The wording in Resolution No. 85-4885 states:
SECTION 2. All existing encroachments shall become null and
void if or when the building adjacent to the encroachment on
private property is removed.
SECTION 3. No building permit shall be issued for new
construction or for remodeling of an existing structure exceeding
50% of the existing structure's square feet or 50% of the
assessed valuation, whichever is less, until:
a. The adjacent City right-of-way is determined to be in
conformance with City standards.
b. An encroachment permit has been approved.
DISCUSSION:
Several applicants wanted to improve just the existing
encroachment, and the policy was not clearly defined to address
this type of request.
PROPOSED CHANGE:
The recommended wording for the amendment to Resolution 85-4885
is as follows:
Section 4. All existing encroachments on the public
right-of-way shall become null and void if or when existing
encroachments on the public right-of-way are removed, improved
and/or remodeled.
Section 5. No encroachment permit shall be issued for new
construction or remodeling of an existing encroachment until:
a. The adjacent City right-of-way is determined to be in
conformance with City code.
b. An encroachment permit has been approved.
3
CONCERN NO. 3
RESOLUTION NO. 86-4932
Resolution No. 86-4932 approved the Commercial Encroachment
Permit Agreement (Exhibit A) and Residential Encroachment Permit
Agreement (Exhibit B). Attached to both exhibits is the City of
Hermosa Beach Encroachment Endorsement.
CONCERN:
Owners desiring a Residential Encroachment Permit have not been
successful in securing the required $1,000,000 liability
insurance naming the City as an additional insured.
EXISTING WORDING:
Existing wording calls for the amount of liability insurance to
be $1,000,000 and name the City as an additional insured.
DISCUSSION:
The insurance industry recently made policy changes disallowing
the practice of insuring homeowners for $1,000,000 naming another
entity as an additional insured. However, the industry does
allow liability coverage in the amount of $500,000 naming another
entity named as an additional insured.
PROPOSED CHANGE:
Recommended wording follows:
SECTION 4. The OWNER further agrees to insure the CITY
against all risks of loss by reason of construction or
maintenance of the encroachment by (1) naming the CITY as
an additional insured on the OWNER'S public liability and
property damage insurance policy carrying a combined single
limit coverage of $500,000 against any injury, death or
loss arising out of the encroachment, (2) filing the "City
of Hermosa Beach Encroachment Permit Endorsement" duly
executed by the OWNER'S insurance carrier, and (3) further
agreeing that failure to maintain such insurance policy
shall be grounds for cancellation of this permit.

The Encroachment Endorsement is used for both Residential and
Commercial encroachments. Wording in the current Encroachment
Endorsement needs updating.
EXISTING WORDING:
Item #4 and #5 read as follows:
4. Provide limits of liability of $1,000,000 combined single
limit coverage against any injury, death, loss or damage
arising out of the encroachment.
5. Limited classifications, restricting endorsements, exclusions
or other special provisions contained in the policy shall not
act to limit the benefits of coverage as they shall apply to
the City of Hermosa Beach as enumerated in this endorsement.
However, nothing herein contained shall affect any right of
the insurer against the insured.
DISCUSSION:
Wording of Item #4 in the Residential Encroachment Permit
Agreement and City of Hermosa Beach Encroachment Permit
Endorsement will need to be consistent. Item #5 can no longer be
required by the City.
PROPOSED CHANGE:
It is recommended that one endorsement form be created for both
Commercial and Residential Encroachment Permits. The recommended
wording for Item #4 is as follows.
4. Provide the designated limits of liability combined
single limit coverage against any injury, death, loss or
damage arising out of the encroachment as follows:
[ ] Residential
[ ] Commercial
$ 500,000
$1,000,000
It is recommended that Item #5 be removed from the Encroachment
Permit Endorsement.

Alternatives
Other alternatives considered by staff and available to City
Council are:
1. Receive and file this report.
2. Make changes to the recommended wording.
3. Direct staff to return with additional information.

HIGH LIABILITY LIMITS
Extremely high jury awards, as well as the cost and availability of
reinsurance hamper our ability to produce acceptable results at the
higher limits of liability. Last year we restricted automobile and
boat new business liability limits to a maximum of $500,000. Effec-
tive upon receipt of this bulletin, the property lines are added to
this restriction.
For all new business, re -writes of existing accounts, and changes to
existing accounts, the new maximum limits of liability are:
BI - 500,000/500,000 or 500,000 CSL
UM - 500,000/500,000
CPL - 500,000
OL&T - 500,000
In the near future we will contact you about lowering the limits on
existing business to these levels. For now, we will continue to
renew these accounts without change. Additional or replacement
vehicles on auto policies may have limits which match the existing
vehicles on the policy. Additional locations added to the homeowners
or fire policies will also be allowed liability limits which match
the other locations on the policy.
Please be sure all of the people in your agency are notified of
these changes immediately. Remember also, that our umbrella pro-
gram, in most cases, can fill the need for those customers who still
desire the higher limits.

Attn: Lynn Stevens Re: Margaret Ames aka
Peggy Marsh
Enclosed is a copy of the city of Manhattan Beach's "construction
or service contract endorsement". This form is similar to the
city of Hermosa Beach's encroachment endorsement.
According to my underwriter, Allstate Insurance has agreed to the
use of this form in the past and has endorsed their personal liabil-
ity policies to add the city as an additional named insured. The
acceptability of the Manhattan Beach form as opposed to Hermosa's
is due to the specificity of Manhattan's form as indicated in
paragraph # 2.
I must emphasize that because the enclosed endorsement has been
used and approved by Allstate in the past does not guarantee that
Allstate would approve its use in the future either for Ms. Ames
or anyone else. Any insurance company, including Allstate, reserves
the right to modify its underwriting policy. However, because this
form has been acceptable in the recent past, the likelihood is good
that I can get such an endorsement approved for Mrs. Ames.
Without prior assurance from the city of Hermosa Beach that this
form is acceptable, there is nothing more I can do for Ms. Ames.
Should the city decide that the Manhattan Beach form is unacceptable,
may I request that some effort be made by the city to assist Ms. Ames
in locating an insurance broker with connections to a carrier which
will provide the coverage you require.
Sincerely,
Stan Kingsber
