HONORABLE MAYOR and MEMBERS of Regular Meeting of
the HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL April 14, 1987
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR CIP 85-502
IRRIGATION INSTALLATION AND LANDSCAPING FOR
PARK DEVELOPMENT
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve the attached request for proposals for irrigation
installation and landscaping for park development at Prospect
Avenue, Hollowell Avenue and Gentry Street, and
2. Authorize staff to solicit bids for the above work.
Background
On June 13, 1985, City Council approved CIP 85-502 as part of the
FY86-87 Capital Improvement Budget. Irrigation design is
complete and arrangements are being made to begin the irrigation
and landscaping work for the park.
Analysis
This memo allows for solication of bids for irrigation and
landscape installation. Irrigation design work for the park is
complete. Construction of the asphalt hard court is complete.
Irrigation installation is scheduled to begin in the late spring
and is before City Council at this time so we may schedule the
necessary work to begin. The estimated cost to perform the work
is $20,000.
Alternatives
Other alternatives considered by staff and available to City
Council are:
1. Drop the project.
2. Modify the scope of the project.

during, or after planting operations. Grass areas that have
been damaged or compacted shall be recultivated and sodded
at the Contractor's expense.
3. The Director will inspect the lawn areas and give approval
prior to the first mowing.
4. The plant establishment period shall extend at least 30
calendar days from the date of the last planting. The date

PROSPECT/HOLLCUFr.T, PARK - SOIL SAMPLES RECEIVED 9-8-86
Attached are results of agricultural suitability and soil fertility analyses carried
out on the Prospect/Hollowell Park surface soil samples received on the above date.
As noted on the data sheet, agricultural suitability only was determined on the
sub -soil sample. Based on the samples received, the surface soil has a wide grada-
tion in particle sizes with sub -soil sandy in texture.
Soil Analysis
Soil reaction is neutral in surface and slightly alkaline in sub -soil with lime
content low and boron concentrations well below the toxic range. The salinity
(ECe) levels are low and, based on the SAR values, soluble sodium is well balanced
by calcium and magnesium. In summary, both surface and sub -soil are non -saline and
non -sodic in nature in the areas represented by the samples received.
The soil fertility data show available nitrogen and potassium deficient with phos-
phorus slightly to moderately low. Calcium and magnesium levels are satisfactory
for a soil of this texture.
Recommendations
If surface soil compaction has occurred, to the extent possible all areas to be
landscaped should be cross -ripped or otherwise tilled to a depth of 9" - 12". Also,
all rocky material in excess of 1" in diameter should be removed to a minimum 6"
depth.
For turf and ground cover planting, the following amendments should be uniformly
broadcast and thoroughly incorporated to a miniruun 6 inch depth by means of
rototiller or equal:
AN'T/1,000 SOUARE FEET
6 cu. yds. nitrogen stabilized organic amendment
derived from redwood sawdust, fir sawdust or

The backfill mix for use around the root ball of container grown trees and shrubs
should be prepared as follows:
6 parts by volume on-site soil
4 parts by volume nitrogen stabilized
organic amendment
1 lb. 16-6-8 per cu. yd. of nix
2 lbs. iron 'sulfate per cu. yd. of mix
The above materials should be thoroughly blended prior to use for backfill purposes
Also, the iron sulfate should not contact cement surfaces since severe staining
could occur.
In order to ensure continuing adequate soil phosphorus and potassium nutrition, a
high nitrogen content complete postplant maintenance fertilizer program should be
employed for the first few months. Beginning approximately 30 days after planting,
the 16-6-8 or equal should be applied at the rate of 6 pounds per 1,000 square feet
on a monthly basis. When plants have become well established, the frequency of
fertilizer applications can be decreased.

AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL CHANGE ORDERS
ASPHALT STREET REPAIR, CIP 86-163
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council authorize staff to issue
additional change orders up to a total amount not to exceed
$31,244 for CIP 86-163, City Asphalt Street Repairs.
Background:
On February 24, 1987, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign
an agreement with Vernon Paving Co. for asphalt street repair
within the City. This contract had a cost not to exceed $71,774
and repair work is scheduled to begin May 4, 1987.
Analysis:
Pavement deficiencies were identified during September, 1986.
Areas were remarked during March and April of 1987 and additional
deficiencies were located (Exhibit A) and could total up to
$31,244.
Staff originally intended to utilize the estimated fund balance
($31,244) for street overlay work on sections of Valley Drive,
and the alley west of Pacific Coast Highway (between Gould and
30th Street). The alley between Gould and 30th Street will
require further investigation, and Valley Drive cannot be
overlaid until certain sections are removed and replaced.
Removal and replacement of deteriorated asphalt is the scope of
work of the City's contract with Vernon Paving Co. It makes good
sense to include this work as a change order to this contract
while Vernon Paving Co. is already "on the job" in the area, the
funds are available and their unit cost is the lowest submitted
to the City.
Vernon Pavinghas agreed to hold their unit cost of $77.25 per
ton of asphat placed up to $109,635.00 (Exhibit B). This is a
low price since other prices submitted when the project was bid
were as follows:
Madison Paving
Sully -Miller
Damon Paving

$130.00 per ton
$136.50 per ton
$137.00 per ton
Fiscal Impact:
Budgeted amount
$103,018
CIP 86-163
Vernon Paving
Contract Amount
Not to Exceed $71,774
Estimated Balance
$31,244
Note that the original budgeted (SB300 Funding) amount was
$109,635. However, in October, 1986, this state allocated budget
was reduced to $103,018. Staff recommends that the $31,244
estimated balance be available for asphalt repair change orders
for CIP 86-163. Vernon Paving Co. will not proceed with any
extra work until they are authorized by staff. The final
contract cost will not exceed $103,018. If these funds are not
used this fiscal year, they will be unavailable next fiscal year.
Alternatives:
Other alternatives available to Council and considered by staff
are:
1. Do not authorize additional change orders exceeding $71,774;
thereby, allowing a potential lapsing of $31,244.
2. Drop the project and perform no maintenance on the streets;
thereby, allowing a potential lapsing of $103,018.

Resolution of Intent to Study the Maximum Height
of Buildings in All Zones
Recommendation
tnabzL c cvl
Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution.
Background
The City Council requested a Resolution of Intent to study height
at their March 24, 1987 meeting.
Analysis
Resolution: The attached resolution will direct the Planning
Commission to review the current height standards found within
the Zoning Ordinance.
Time Frame: Since there was discussion as to when reports must
be available to the City Council, the Staff researched the City's
Ordinances and State law.
Article 15 of the Zoning Ordinance does relate to amendments and
is the only Section which relates to the subject matter.
However, this Section discusses time frames for specific
amendments to this ordinance and not to studying such issues. It
should be noted that this Section is seriously out-of-date and no
longer relates to reality in many respects. The ordinance gives
the Planning Commission 40 days from the date of the resolution
to have a public hearing, and a total of 80 days between the
Planning Commission hearing and the City Council public hearing.
Also, the City Council has another 60 days after the public
hearing to notify the public of their decision, but this
notification period can be extended with "good cause".
The State law, Section 65853, allows the Planning Commission a
"reasonable time" determined by the City Council to "study and
report" upon a Zoning amendment. After a "reasonable time" has
passed, the City Council may, in writing, notify the Planning
Commission to submit a report within 40 days (refer to attachment
for specifics).

CALIFORNIA, INDICATING ITS INTENT TO STUDY HEIGHT LIMITATIONS OF
BUILDINGS AS IT PERTAINS TO SCREENING, DENSITY, LOT SIZE, VALUE
OF UNIQUE SKYLINE, OCEAN VIEWS, LIGHT, AIR, AND VENTILATION.
WHEREAS, the current Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum of 45
feet in height for buildings in the C-1, C-2 and C-3 zones, and
25 feet in the R-1, 30 feet in the R-2 and 35 feet in the R-3
zones; and
WHEREAS, the maximum height may be excessive in all or some
areas of the City; and
WHEREAS, to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
residents of the City, the maximum height should be studied in
regard to screening, density, lot size, value of unique skyline,
ocean view, light, air, and ventilation;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The Planning Commission shall be directed to research and
assess standards for the maximum height of buildings in all
zones.
2. The assessment shall include appropriate Zoning Ordinance
amendments, procedural guidelines and all other pertinent
reformation.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach City Council April 28, 1987
Text Amendment to Allow Fences to Exceed the Maximum Height with
the Approval of a Conditional Use Permit
& Standard Conditions of Approval
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the attached ordinance and proposed
conditions be adopted. Staff also recommends that this matter be
referred to the Planning Commission for review and
recommendation.
Abstract
The current ordinance requires a variance be obtained for fences
that exceed the height limitations. The required findings for
issuing a varinace are often difficult to establish.
Amending the current ordinance will allow fences to exceed the
established height limit by requiring a Conditional Use Permit.
Background
On February 17, 1987, the Planning Commission adopted a
resolution recommending that the Zoning: Ordinance be amended to
require Conditional Use Permits for fences that exceed the height
limit.
On April 14, 1987, this matter was referred to the City Council
for adoption of the text amendment. At that meeting, the City
Council directed Staff to develop criteria and conditions to be
imposed with the Conditional Use Permit allowing fences to exceed
height limitations.
Analysis
The conditions established in the proposed ordinance have been
created to maintain an aesthetically pleasing environment and
minimize any negative impacts a fence or hedge may have regarding
view, light, air and ventilation.

Honorable Chairman and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach Planning Commission February 17, 1987
Text Amendment to Allow Fences to Exceed the Maximum Height with
the Approval of a Conditional Use Permit
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution.
Background
On January 20, 1987, the Planning Commission directed Staff to
examine allowing fences to exceed the maximum height allowed by
the Zoning Ordinance when a Conditional Use Permit is approved by
the Planning Commission.
Analysis
Most cities allow higher fences with a Conditional Use Permit.
There are legitimate grounds for permitting a wall or fence which
exceeds the maximum height. However, these grounds seldom meet
the Findings for a variance; noise attenuation is one good
reason.
The main concerns the City should have are that the wall is
decorative and not unsightly; will not block views, light, air or
ventilation, or facilitate the efforts of criminals; serves a
purpose; and is not opposed by the neighbors. By the use of a
Conditional Use Permit, these kinds of issues can be resolved to
everyone's benefit.
In the commercial and manufacturing zones, fencing can become a
real "eye sore" when, for instance, a 7 or 8 foot fence laced
with razor wire is installed. This situation has occurred in
other cities particularly in connection with used car lots and
various types of manufacturing uses. A more appropriate type of
fencing that would serve the same purpose would be wrought iron
with a shepherd hook top.
Putting walls around open space property would defeat the purpose
of open space.

On January 20, ,
Planning Commission directed staff to examine allowing fences to exceed the a8 imuhm
height allowed by the zoning ordinance when a conditional use permit is approved by the
Planning Commission.
Most cities allow higher fences with a conditional use permit. There are legitimate

In some commercial and manufacturing zones, fencing can become a real eyesore when,
for instance, a seven- or eight -foot fence laced with razor wire is installed. This
situation has occurred in other cities particularly in connection with used car lots and
various types of manufacturing uses. A more appropriate type of fencing that would
serve the same purpose would be wrought iron with a shepherd hook top.
Putting walls around open space property would defeat the purpose of open space.
Comm. Compton discussed Condition No. 5 of the resolution and stated that "Public
Right of Way," should be included in addition to "Open Space Zone." He noted walk
streets which are actually public rights of way.
Comm. Compton asked whether there are design standards for open space zones.
Mr. Schubach stated that he would prefer open fences, such as chain link in the open
space zones. He stated that it depends on location.
, PLANNING COMMIS,,.ON MINUTES - FEBRUARY 17, 1987

Comm. Compton suggested that design standards will need to be addressed in the future.
Public Hearing opened at 8:53 P.M. by Chmn. Sheldon. There being no citizens who
appeared to speak either in favor of or in opposition to this request, Public Hearing
closed at 8:53 P.M. by Chmn. Sheldon.
MOTION by Comm. Compton, seconded by Comm. Rue, to approve staffs'
recommendation to recommend that the City Council amend the zoning ordinance to
require conditional use permits for fences that exceed the height limit, with an
amendment to Condition No. 5 stating that "Walls, fences or hedges within the Open
Space Zone or Public Right of Way shall require a Conditional Use Permit."

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 28, 1987
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: James P. Lough, City Attorney
RE: City Attorney Proposed Contract Amendment
Attached hereto you will find a copy of a proposed amendment
to the City Attorney contract being proposed by the City Attor-
ney. The attached contract incorporates the changes suggested.
Most of the contract is essentially the same with the exceptions
set out below.
The attached agreement addresses four areas where changes
are recommended. Those items are as follows:
1. The placement of an hour cap on retainer matters.
handled by the City Attorney.
2. Adjustment in the hourly rate for extraordinary legal
services as of January 1, 1988.
3. Removal of requirements for additional insurance due to
the inability of the City Attorney to obtain such
coverage.
4. Change in the flexibility of office hours to a system
based on need.
These changes are an attempt to take care of the annual
review for the next two years. The changes found under Items 1
and 4 are intended to limit the amount of unnecessary work so
that it will not cause higher billing for time while I sit in
City Hall although few staff items are brought to my attention
when the time could be better spent researching city problems in
my office's law library. Under Item 1, the adjustment will also
cause a slight change in the manner in which billing is done.
At present, I list all city related functions that I attend.
These include League of California Cities meetings, municipal
law seminars and other related meetings. Such items will no
longer be included on the retainer list of hours. This would
amount to an approximate reduction of five hours per month.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 28, 1987
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: James P. Lough, City Attorney
RE: City Attorney Proposed Contract Amendment
I believe that the requests listed above are reasonable
considering the amount of expertise the City receives and the
billing rates of city attorneys for other South Bay cities. If
the City were to hire any of the other law firms representing
local South Bay cities, City legal costs would accelerate
dramatically.
Thank you for your

Re: Street Parking of Recreational Vehicles
Gentlemen and Madam:
Let me offer a question that you may choose to consider at a
meeting where the best interests of the city and its citizens are
being considered. Should recreational vehicles be allowed to use
city streets for storage purposes?
I will relate my experience. I am sure that similar stories
can be obtained from persons living in other parts of Hermosa
Beach. For several years two or more large recreational vehicles
(not campers) have parked on Hermosa Avenue on a continuous
basis. It seems that the owners of these vehicles seldom use
them because the machines have about become permanent fixtures of
the local landscape. They might be away for an occasional week-
end; they might be moved from one side of the street to the other
to avoid the street cleaning restrictions; they might go from
one space to another less than a hundred feet away when maximum
time at a parking space calls for some strategic action; but when
it is all considered you cannot avoid the fact that the owners
are using the public streets as a storage yard for their vehicles.
I don't know the owners of the RVs that have become so well
known to me. Maybe I should search them out and tell them that
the machines are unsightly, that they compound the parking
problem on the street, that they extend further into traffic
lanes than do passenger cars and thereby constitute a potential
hazard, and that there are commercial yards where owners can
safely store their RVs. I could also add that it is annoying
when they choose to run the engines of the RVs late at night
(presumable to keep batteries charged so that they may continue
playing their weekly game of hop -scotch). They might respond by
telling me to mind my own business. Well, this problem is my
business and it is more properly the business of the city's
governing body, and that is why I am writing this letter.
I might also add that, from a very limited investigation
$

and from a long period of casual observation on my part, the RV
owners apparently do not live in this neighborhood where they
park their machines. I suspect that they live some distance away
and park the vehicles here so that they won't have to look at
them each morning when they go out to get the newspaper.
I trust that the city council will, in its wisdom, give
attention to the problem I have attempted to point out and do
what is best for all of the people of the city.
Very truly yours

AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE
PRECLUDING THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS
FOR ALTERATIONS OR ADDITIONS
TO NONCONFORMING USES OR NONCONFORMING BUILDINGS
WITH RESOLUTION OF INTENTION

TO STUDY THE MATTER
"
:'t K.c
RECOMMENDATION �` p
It is recommended that the City Council:jgb,,,j 4ri.-4-1-watl'''' 47-14 3c-
1) Consider input from interested citizens at the Publicu‘i/tar
Hearing r t
2) Debate the policy issue of whether to adopt he attached
Emergency Ordinance
3) Adopt the attached Resolution of Intentio S)tvj atm
BACKGROUND
The City Council, at the meeting of April 14, 1987, directed that
this ordinance be prepared for consideration at this meeting.
ANALYSIS
Article 13 of the Zoning Code contains the provisions which regu-
late nonconforming buildings. Sections 1301 and 1302 provide for
expansion and alteration of existing nonconforming residential
uses and Section 1309 provides for expansion and alteration of
nonconforming buildings where the use is a nonconforming one.
The difficulty in applying these sections arises when significnt
elements of existing buildings are removed or demolished as part
of the expansion or alteration project. The code contains no
guideline to determine when a "remodel" really should be con-
sidered a new building. Projects which subjectively appear to
constitute a new building rather than a remodel are referred to
the Planning Commission for consideration; however they too are
faced with a lack of standards to apply.
The above listed sections were modified in 1984 by the then City
Council in an attempt to more easily allow homeowners to upgrade
and rehabilitate existing residential structures. Previous to
1984, structural alterations to any nonconforming use were pro-
hibited and additions to nonconforming buildings were limited to
no more than 407 of the floor area of the existing building.
The current reading of the nonconforming sections certainly does
allow homeowners to upgrade and rehabilitate existing residential
structures. Unfortunately the provisions also allow nonconform-
-, ing uses and nonconforming buildings to be extended beyond their
normal lifetime. Due to economic incentives, nonconforming uses
and nonconforming buildings will never be replaced by conforming
uses and conforming buildings if allowed to "remodel"
periodically.
Certainly the issue of perceived property rights as it pertains
to existing situations is not a matter that can be hastily con-
sidered. The attached Resolution of Intention will direct the
Planning Commission to study this matter and provide recommenda-
tions for amendments which will provide equity for all property
owners.
If the attached emergency ordinance is adopted it would have the
effect of precluding building permits for all projects which in-
volve nonconforming uses or nonconforming buildings. The majori-
ty of buildings within the city are nonconforming in regard to
one or more development standards due to periodic revision to
those standards. If the emergency ordinance is adopted, revision
of the code should be a high priority due to the large number of
properties affected.
If the emergency ordinance is not adopted, staff would still
recommend that the resolution of intention be adopted to begin
the process of amending the code.

NONCONFORMING USES AND NONCONFORMING BUILDINGS.
WHEREAS, the City Council considered this matter at the
regularly scheduled meeting of April 28, 1987; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that the present provisions
of the zoning ordinance relating to nonconforming uses and
nonconforming buildings do not limit nonconforming uses and
nonconforming buildings from being maintained in perpetuity; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City Council to amend
Article 13 of the zoning ordinance to limit the manner in which
nonconforming uses and nonconforming buildings may be altered,
expanded and maintained.
SNOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY• OF
HERMOSA BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the Planning Commission shall review

RESIDENTIAL DWELLINGS:,
WHEREAS, Sections 1300-1310 of the Hermosa Beach Zoning
Code sets out conditions and exceptions for nonconforming
buildings and uses; and
WHEREAS, the nonconforming sections referenced above
have been interpreted to allow for the demolition of significant
portions of a dwelling unit while retaining the nonconforming
status of the building; and
WHEREAS, allowing reconstruction of a building in a
manner which allows the property to retain its nonconforming
status while circumventing existing planning and development
regulations leads to continuation of the nonconformity for the
life of the new reconstructed building which compounds any
current parking, density, safety and other environmental problems
caused by continuation of such nonconformities; and
WHEREAS, Section 65858 of the Government Code authorizes
the adoption of an interim ordinance as an emergency measure
which can act to prevent injuries to the health, safety and
general welfare caused by the continuation of nonconforming uses
throughout the life of the reconstructed residential building.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RE: NONCONFORMING USES AND BUILDINGS
The following information is provided in response to several
council inquiries regarding the extent that permits are issued
for projects that involve nonconforming uses or nonconforming
buildings.
A review of department records indicates that during the past 12
month period the department issued 433 building permits. Of these
permits, 176 permits were for additions or alterations to
residential buildings and 38 permits were for additions or alter-
ations to commercial buildings.
Approximately 95% of the permits issued for alterations or addi-
tions to residential buildings involve properties which are non-
conforming in some regard. This is largely attributable to the
revised parking standards and revised density standards although
certainly numerous properties are nonconforming regarding set-
backs, lot coverage, usable open space, etc.
The permits issued range from minor alterations to significant
additions; however all have the effect of extending the life of
the building to some degree.
The commercial permits were largely for alterations that did not
increase floor area; however few of our commercial buildings meet
current parking or setback requirements.

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF PERMIT DEADLINE
S OF ORDINANCE NO. 86-839 (PARKING STANDARDS)
FOR 2 UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT
AT 2902 HERMOSA AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION
This is a council policy decision; therefore no recommendation is
given. If an extension is granted it must be accomplished by an
amendment to the ordinance.
April 20, 1987
City Council Meeting
April 28, 1987
BACKGROUND
Mr. Bill Gonzales, project architect for a 2 unit condominium at
2902 Hermosa Avenue, appeared before the City Council under the
"Appearance of Interested Citizens" section of the agenda at the
meeting of April 14, 1987. He requested an extension to Or-
dinance No. 86-839 to allow his project to proceed without meet-
ing the permit deadline of April 15, 1987. The City Council di-
rected that this item be scheduled for the April 28, 1987
meeting.
ANALYSIS
This project was first submitted to the city in October of 1984.
The project needed several revisions and ultimately obtained
Planning Commission approval on February 4, 1986.
On July 25, 1986 Ordinance No. 86-839 took effect, which revised
the residential parking standards. Projects submitted prior to
the effective date of the ordinance were exempt from the new re-
quirements provided they obtained a building permit within six
months. This project does not comply with Ordinance No. 86-839
because it lacks a 17 foot setback for garages facing streets or
alleys.
On March 10, 1987 Ordinance No. 86-839 was revised to allow a
permit deadline of April 15, 1987. This action was taken to rec-
tify misinformation several projects had received regarding the
actual permit deadline contained in Ordinance No. 86-839.
This project could have received a permit had working drawings
been completed and checked prior to April 15, 1987. This project
was slowed in attempting to obtain a permit by the April 15, 1987
deadline by the discovery, upon most recent submittal, of pre-
viously unnoticed zoning deficiencies.
As indicated in the recommendation, this matter is a council
policy decision; however the council should consider whether the
- 1 -
s
L applicant has been diligently pursuing obtaining a building per-
mit in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance.
If the council desires to extend the permit deadline, staff will
return with an ordinance further amending Ordinance No. 86-839 to
provide a new permit deadline.

City Council Meeting of
April 28, 1.987
S.I.G. G OFF BY rITY COUNCIL OF ALL FUTURE LAND SALES
AND ESCROW PAPERS
This matter is before you for discussion purposes as requested by
Councilmember Williams at the April 14, 1987 regular meeting.
BACKGROUND
This matter was briefly discussed by the City Council during its
1986 discussions to develop GOALS. At that time a majority of
the Council indicated that they were not interested in changing
the current process. The matter therefore did not become one of
the adopted Goals.
ANALYSIS
As it now stands the City Council must approve all land sales and
all terms and conditions of escrows. Having done so the City
Manager has. then been responsible for the implementation of such
and has been the official signing agent on behalf of the City;
grant deeds are signed by the Mayor.
In addition to the current practice, the following options are
available -
1. The actual escrow documents are submitted to the City Council'
for scrutiny and review and then are signed by:
Ma
b. City Manager
2. After having implemented the escrow and signed the documents
the City Manager files them with the City Council at their
next regular meeting.

I attended the monthly meeting of the SISTER CITY ASSN. on April 16.
You all receive the minutes of the Assn. so I will not repeat.

student exchange. They need volunteers to take turns staffing a table
(for information only) at the Memorial day Chamber Fiesta del Artes.
The SOUTH BAY HARBOR AREA COALITION ON ALCOHOL AND DRUG PROBLEMS
met at the Charter Pacific Hospital in Torrance on April 16. I attended
and learned a great deal of information about where one could go in our
area for treatment of drug illness. They are in the process of compiling
a booklet of services in the area. I believe this is a most important
group for our community and I will be attending their meetings.
Beth Miller with the LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE OF ALCOHOL PROGRAMS was
in attendance. David Schlichter, PALMER DRUG ABUSE PROGRAM that has office
in our community center was there. The Pres. is Betty Batenburg, the
