Re: Lack of Business Plan, and Public Understanding of Impacts of
Implementation of Proposed Downtown Plans.
Honorable Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council:
I am here writing to you regarding the full speed ahead approach, evidently supported
by the City Council, as being taken with regard to the proposed construction of parking
structures and other plans downtown.
It is my belief that your efforts to accomplish the smorgasbord of changes planned for
the downtown are likely to fail, not because any particular person is for or against any
aspect of this, but because the same basic mistake is again being made in Hermosa
Beach. That is the incorrect implication by those pushing the plans that the public is
fully informed and supportive, when they are in fact all but completelyuninvolved and
extremely uninformed on the issues, excepting for what they have perhaps read as
written by local well-intentioned reporters who, in the course of events, have been
bombarded with endless propaganda from the vested interests supporting these
planned changes.
It was not long ago when we were reading from the same local sources how the, as
then referred to, "Greenwood Luxury Hotel Project" was ready to get under construction.
downtown. People in the community actually believed it. Some of the residents
evidently knew better though. They knew the hotel had serious underlying problems
from many perspectives. The reason it didn't go had little to do with the economy, as
often mentioned now. It had everything to do with the community: Sure it had virtually
all the permits, but it did not have the true underlying knowledgeable support of the
community. The community knew very little about it other than some very simple picture
concepts. There wasno model showing how it would fit in downtown. Very little
information at all. Only a few of the residents had ever gone to the building department
to dig into the fat rolls of plans. Had it had the support of a public that knew what it
would mean to the city, it would have eventually had the private financing it needed, and
would have been built. However, the proponents probably knew very well that if the
61.
H. Longacre to City Council 6 March 1995
community really understood what that downtown hotel would have meant in terms of
intensity to this bedroom beach -front -town they, the community, would have turned it
down flat by some method.
Thus it was the last of the projects to avoid any public scrutiny at the city level and was
the very project that caused a previous Council to change the law to require a precise
development plan for any such project in the future, but more than that it led to the
downtown height limit being set at 30 feet from 35 feet as by a vote of the people, and .:
also led to rooftop structures above the height limit to be all but eliminated. So it was a
loser with some good resulting:. As a loser this way it was however much more costly to
the city, and much more costly tothe developer.
Now the property sits vacant and evidently foreclosed on. Why? Again very simple.. A
handful of influential interests pushed it along, encouraging the developer, while
ignoring the most important aspect. The people of the city. Had they truly involved the
people of the city, the net result might have been a smaller hotel with some style and
scale that fit the city rather than two giant boxes 35 feet high, with roof structures
running the length of both buildings to 43 feet high, not to mention the 3 story
underground parking that was probably not viable due to the beach front and ground
water problems: And of course there would not have been all the wasted time by the
developer, wasted monies and wasted hearings by the state, coastal, city staff. Wasted
lawsuits for the city. You name it. A lot of wasted effort: And why? You know the
answer. Not involving the people of the community in a true sense, the people who
care about the quality of life in this city.
This same result is now likely as certain downtown proponents with eyes bigger than
their stomachs select endlessly from as mentioned the smorgasbord of possibilities
while now using TPM (the people's money) exclusively.
A perfect example of another dinosaur that ignored the public, but got built anyway is the
theater pavilion on PCH. An abomination like none other in the whole city. There it
stands. A Hermosa Beach landmark disaster in full view of the thousands that pass
through that canyonized strip of PCH each day.
The same thing is happening now with the downtown. So called hearings where the
people are "really involved" are in fact a sham to fulfill any requirements of the law. One
Councilmember stated in the 2/14/95 council meeting, during the discussion to raise the
parking meter rates, "lets get going, the public has been fully involved, they support
this". If this Councilmember truly believes this than he really can not see the forest for
the trees. There has been no real involvement of the people of this city in any aspect of
RU/DAT. Only the involvement of those whom some call the 'inside .club'. Sure there
were some places for people to give their views to make it appear as though everyone
was involved and truly listened to. Nevertheless what is planned is nothing more than
what has been desired by certain folk since long before RU/DAT put some quasi-
legitimate face on it during that weekend they were here.
H. Longacre to City Council 6. March 1995 Page. 3::
You can pick ten citizens at random in this city over and over, and not one will beable
to tell you much more than 'oh, the downtown is going to be revitalized'. That displays
meaningless involvement of the people, and meaningless understanding by the
community who are being kept in the dark as to the true ramifications of this downtown
intensification of alcohol based businesses.
Why will this downtown plan fail as it is currently being shuttled along?
The primary reason is there is no true business plan showing;
1 -How many bars and of what capacity will be the maximum for each.
2 -How many restaurants with alcohol and of what capacity will be the maximum::
3 -How much disruption will businesses expect from parades, street fairs, beach -
events and other activities? What is the maximum disruption a business should expect:
and will have to expect?
4 -How much professional office space is to be supported, and protected from -
disruption.
5 -How much daytime business is to be supported, and how much of each type?
And what limit on liquor outlets and licenses? Will it continue to be no limit?
6 -What is the maximum number of people to. be in downtown in the daytime, and.
in the night time? Is there any maximum at all? Is the theory 'Oh, it will self regulate.
supply and demand will regulate it.'
7 -How is traffic on Hermosa Ave, Pier Ave, Manhattan Ave, Monterey Blvd, and
Valley/Ardmore expected to grow? How will this effect the residential areas when
understanding that residential was down -zoned so as to protect the quality of life in city?
Will residential now be up -zoned to increase density to keep up with the increase in
density evidently so desirable in the downtown?
8 -How many parking spaces, public and private exist now per square foot of
business in downtown Hermosa Beach, as compared to downtown Manhattan Beach?
What happened to parking studies showing Hermosa Beach had adequate downtown
parking?
9 -How is residential parking to be protected from business parking intrusion,
already at significant levels? Is there a plan to ban business parking in residential areas
as done in other cities in return for the privilege of building parking garages, or will filled
parking garages attracting even larger crowds result in even larger numbers of people
parking in and cruising around residential areas searching for parking spaces and to
later hours at night? •
1.0 -What is today's true negative cost to the city of the downtown? In hard
dollars lost, and in residential valuation dollars lost from the resulting residential
degradation.
11 -What is the anticipated negative cost from the downtown next year, five years
from now, ten years from now, with and without this planned intensification?
12 -How is residential property to be effected? With the proposed downtown
intensification, how will the existing monster residential rental buildings of density much
over current allowed residential density in the R2 and R3 zones be expected to be
recycled to the lower densities mentioned so often during all the residential down
zonings now set in law? Will those rental buildings now be expected to become more
and more slum -like, with the corresponding and associated problems as that residential
H. Longacre to City Council 6 March 1995
property becomes Tess desirable for residential due to the crowds, noise; and crime--
resulting
rime-resulting from this planned intensification of downtown?
13 -Why is more intensity to be added to downtown given the amount of down-
zoning that has occurred in residential over the past 15 years'?
14 -Most of all, what if any objective, is there to all this planned intensification?
What is it that the city and others are trying to accomplish? Who will gain? Who will
lose'? Is it to be as the following?
a) Daytime business will lose from higher rents and higher parking costs --
and less convenient parking for their customers.
b) Downtown property owners will gain from higher rents and thus higher.
property valuations, while not paying anything of costs, yet having the city generate
parking for them at no cost, and on city property rather than their property.
c) Residents will lose from lower residential property value appreciation,
higher crime,more noise, traffic, and transient activity.
d) The city will lose from increasing costs, stagnant returns, lack of montes-:
to aid the residential portions of town or other commercial districts, lack of ability to hire
quality staff,` and exodus of homeowners with the subsequent converting of owner
occupied residential to renter -occupied residential.
e) City staff loses from continued budget crisis.
Then there is this smorgasbord of plans. It seems to utilize every fund at hand to get
this downtown thing done, from the • SC Edison undergrounding funds belonging to the
people citywide, to landscape assessments charged and belonging citywide, to street.
resurfacing funds belonging citywide, to meter funds belonging citywide, to now the
ludicrous and forever: giving to the county of vested rights to downtown city -owned
property for parking garages. Yet there is no real business plan whatever showing the
return to the city, showing how much more of a loss the downtown will be for the city
then it right now, showing how many more city staff, fire, and police hours will be
expended in various ways. And showing most of all the reduction in the quality of life for
the town.
This is why it will fail, for if all these things contemplated are built utilizing TPM (the
people's money) the net result as the laws of Hermosa Beach currently provide for, will
be bigger and bigger and more and more alcohol based businesses. Biggerand bigger
city costs. More and more residential property devaluation (or slower than could be
possible appreciation) plus an overall lower quality of life in the beach area from the
simple fact of intensity and all its associated ills. And of course this then results in a
further cascade of losses for the city.
When RU/DAT started it was stated over and over that it was going to be just the
businesses fixing up the downtown. Public money wouldn't be involved. No
redevelopment. However what is planned, is two, maybe three giant parking garages, a
pier with a restaurant/bar, street scape with restaurant/bar business expanded onto city
sidewalks.: And all paid with TPM (the people's money). Its too much.
It will result in a pier area as like the Redondo pier scene on weekends and nights, and
with a bikeway added on the sand in clear violation of the deed, it will turn the strand
H. Longacre to City Council 6 March • 1995 Page 5
into a massive meandering of unobstructed crowds that will spill down to 4th street .on -
the south and up past 22nd street on the north daily. Just like Venice Beach. And:
anyone that believes otherwise has not watched the change in demographics over the
past 35 years of the south bay, and has not visited Venice Beach lately where there is:
virtually no public parking yet all those incredible crowds.
The Council had best makesure each and every Hermosa resident fully understands:..-
what
nderstandsr-what parking garages in a downtown, already having as much parking per square foot;`
of commercial as downtown Manhattan Beach, means to their city. For just like the
hotel project, if this is wrong, it will make no difference whether, the residents know or.-
don't know as it will still fail. But you will save a lot of costs in the process by making:
sure the people do know crystal clear all the implications of this plan.
You might say butwhy will it fail even if the residents don't know and it gets all the
approvals and monies? Because it will get challenged in court for lack of CEQA, or Jack
of this, or lack of that. Or something done will cause it to get on the ballot.
If you can not answer most all of those numbered questions above then someone is
really asleep at the switch. And if nothing else then there are some people pushing this..
plan that don't have a clue as to what business success and quality of life really requires
for the city, or just do not care.
Myth for decades past present and future: The downtown has been neglected for so
long its wonderful that this is finally happening.
Another Myth A city that places all emphasis on enhancing undesirable business
activity, such as Hermosa Beach is currently doing with the planned building of parking
garages to aid alcohol based businesses that have no upper limit, is a city that will
become a most desirable place to own residential property and live with one's family.
Fact When the residential quality of life is placed above all else, little needs to be donee
to attract business. It will come because a city that values its residential quality of life
obviously places controls on those aspects of business which could lower that quality,
consequentially insuring a desirable place for quality businesses.
If there is to be no limit on alcohol business, as there is in some form in all successful_
cities, then granted, you will have plenty of alcohol business to the point of having buses
shuttling in the drinkers from TRW's parking lots, and with or without the parking
garages:
Has anyone on Council noticed the debate taking place in Manhattan Beach over
adding just 20 to 35 parking spaces at a cost of one million dollars? How many parking
spaces are you talking about? I've been asking residents here about the downtown
plans? First they don't know about the parking garages and in fact seem quite
concerned. Second they have no idea of the implications of this downtown
intensification? You have a responsibility to tell the residents in very clear simple terms
what all this 'wonderful' stuff means. If you feel that telling the residents all you know,
H. Longacre to City Council, 6 March 1995 Page.6
will somehow delay or halt the project, then you had best still tell them anyway. Its that--
simple.. Not at all complicated. As unlike twenty years ago, it seemslike if someithingi
gets done that the people really don't like, it is likely to get reversed in one way or
another and then at considerable cost to the city.
Sincerely,
Howard Longacre

Background
Each year the City hosts a number of commercial and special events. The Parks,
Recreation and Community Resources Commission serves as the first approval stop for
these events prior to Council review. At their February 15, 1995 meeting, the
Commission reviewed and approved the events and attached contracts.
At the February 28, 1995 meeting, Council listened to presentations from event applicants
and: conceptually approved the list of events.
Analysis
Attached you will find a table summarizing all of the events (Attachment A) and the event
contracts. Staff may adjust contracts in the future pending set up changes and/or category
fee adjustments.
Per Council direction, staff has incorporated language in each contract, regarding the
City's potential use of various stadium set ups. Event operators seem agreeable to the
programming possibility.
The special event line-up offered for 1995 is highly credible both from an operational
standpoint (all proven event management organizations) and from an event standpoint.
Hermosa Beach will play host to the best in beach volleyball (from the AVP to the
Olympic Qualifier); to an emerging sport (beach soccer); and to an array of opportunities
for youth involvement (e.g., beach soccer clinics and in-line skating clinics). This event
slate will keep Hermosa Beach "on -the -map" as being a prestigious venue for sporting
events and as an exciting place to visit in the summer or off-season.
Fiscal Impact: $110,598 Fees paid to General Fund.

at 2:00 P.M. seven bids were received and opened by the City Clerk with
assistance from the Public Works Department. The results of the bid opening
are as follows:

March 7, 1995
Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
March 14, 1995
POLICE AND FIRE SERVICES DISPATCH STUDY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve:
1. Award a contract for an amount not to exceed $22,500.00 be awarded
to the Aerospace Corporation to include Hermosa Beach in a design
study for a public safety dispatching center.
2. Approve an additional allocation of $22,500.00 to pay for the study.
The 1994-95 budget does not contain money for this study.
3. Approve that the Mayor be authorized to sign any contracts.
4. To direct staff to evaluate Hermosa Beach participation in the project
for FY 95/96.
BACKGROUND:
In January 1995, the cities of Manhattan Beach and El Segundo's City Councils
each approved for. their Police and Fire services to begin to develop a Public Safety
Communication Center. In conjunction, a sole source design and development
agreement with the Aerospace Corporation at a cost not to exceed $90,000.00 was
authorized. Hermosa Beach actual cost of participation in the study is 25% of the
overall cost. Authorization was also granted to approach the City of Hermosa
Beach with this proposal. (See attached Exhibit A.)
ANALYSIS:
Hermosa Beach has been offered the opportunity to join in the design, development
and use of the new, next generation Public Safety Communications Center to be
housed in El Segundo. It is the goal of the City of El Segundo to operate the center
as a provider and customer. The design study is scheduled to be completed by June,
1995. The entire system is estimated to cost $1.68 million to design and build, and
S1 million a year to operate. The Aerospace Corporation recently received a
National Institute of Justice Grant which calls for corporations to be one of three
national sites to facilitate the use of defense related technology into law enforcement
applications.
Since 1986, when Hermosa Beach withdrew from the South Bay Regional
Communications Authority (RCC), Hermosa Beach Police, Fire Services and
Parking Enforcement have been dispatched from the Police Dispatch Center.-
reason
enter.reason for:leaving RCC was yearly costs to Hermosa Beach were increasing in-:,
doubledigit percentages with no foreseeable fiscal control in site.
Maybe it is the proverbial seven year itch or the new opportunity presented: above::
which will cause us to re-examine how best to provide public safety dispatch<in.the,
future years. Design and program flaws were built into Hermosa Dispatch:_Centerin-:
the quest for keeping costs as low as possible. A major deficiency is there is no::--;

components
oftwarecomponents of our dispatch system..
In the fifth year of operation, a system upgrade was completed. This included new
backup tape drive, modification to the hardware, and software improvements.
the next two years our obsolete hardware and software will no longer be adequate:
The approximate cost for this suggested computer information systems hardware:.
and software replacement costs will be about $115,000.00. This does not include:the
cost of replacing or maintaining the radio broadcast system of dispatch consoles,:;.
receivers andbase stations which are far more expensive. Their serviceability runs
from twelve to fifteen years.
Current total operating cost for Police and Fire dispatching (includes salary
benefits, maintenance contracts, materials and supplies + 10% overhead) is
$383.964 for Fiscal Year 94/95.
A share cost breakdown, based on a tri -city $880,000 start-up operating costs and:.
$1.09 million yearly operating cost would be a 25% share for Hermosa Beach,.
$220,000 start-up and $272,588 operating cost the first year. This does not include
any equipment cost for Hermosa Beach. The estimated annual cost increase is
3%.
The design study begins with a needs assessment survey that deals with procedures
and requirements that will help to define the Computer Aided Dispatch System, the
Mobile Data Computer (MDC), and interfaces to external and internal
organizations and people. The Emergency Telephone -Dispatch system (E911) will
be networked to existing computersystems with the El Segundo/Manhattan
Beach/Hermosa Beach Police and Fire Departments, with information of every
incident provided to the responsible agency.
The design study work will be monitored by an Oversight Committee which will
consist of representatives from all three Police and Fire Departments and their
respective chiefs and city managers.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT
MEETING DATE: January 17, 1994
AGENDA HEADING: City Manager
Approve the request for the EI Segundo Police and Fire Departments to begin development of a public safety
communications center.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve the project in concept, agree to enter into a sole source design and development agreement with the
Aerospace Corporation at a cost not to exceed $90,000, authorize staff to approach the City of Hermosa Beach
regarding the proposal and to authorize architectural design to remodel the existing police communications
center.
RIEF.SUMMARY:.
The City of El Segundo has participated in the South Bay Regional Communications Authority since it became
operational in 1977. Since that time, a variety of factors have influenced the operation of the Center to the
extent that we believe it is not meeting our community's needs. It is felt that to be responsive to the community,
the police and fire departments must be able to take advantage of emerging technology and have direct control
of the administration of the communications center.
Staff of the police department has completed preliminary cost analysis of the project which has resulted in the
findings that by sharing the cost with contracting cities an improved, reliable and cost efficient system can be
developed. Officials from the City of Manhattan Beach have been contacted and they support this project and
are presenting it simultaneously to their City Council.
The Aerospace Corporation was the recent recipient of a National Institute of Justice grant which calls for it to
be one of three national sites to facilitate the use of defense related technology into law enforcement
applications. They are well versed in communications technology and were the primary consultants for the
current South Bay Regional Communications Center. They have offered their services to the department and
are extremely committed to seeing this project through. It is their goal to assist in developing one of the
premier dispatch centers in the country. They have estimated their fee for this service to be $180,000 and it
has been included in the initial estimates. This cost would be equally shared with the City of Manhattan Beach.
It is requested that this project be placed before the City Council at the January 17, 1995, meeting and
approved in concept and the following tasks be initiated.
1. Retain the Aerospace Corporation on a sole source basis to provide design and technological support at
a cost not to exceed $ 90,000.
2.. Authorization be given to approach the city of Hermosa Beach with this proposal.
Approval be granted to commence architectural design on the facility upgrade.

ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION OF '1'HE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH

SECTION 20615 BY REPORTING TO P.E.R.S. THE VALUE OF THE 9% EMPLOYER
PAID MEMBER CONTRIBUTION (EPMC) FOR THE HERMOSA BEACH
FIREFIGHTER'S ASSOCIATION
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.
Analysis
Prior to June 30, 1994, the Public Employees' Retirement System (P.E.R.S.) allowed members to
convert vacation, comp and sick leave accruals to salary during that member's final year of
employment prior to retirement. Also, during that final compensation period the employee could stop
having the City pay their retirement percentage (9% Employer Paid Member Contribution/EPMC) and
have that also added to their salary.'
Senate Bill 53 eliminated the practice of converting accruals during the final year and established
procedures for reporting the value of the EPMC:
The current language of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allows for the employee to
receive retirement credit for the 9% EPMC.
The attached resolution notifies P.E.R.S. pursuant to their procedures that the City will be reporting
the value of the 9%EPMC effective November 1, 1995.
Fiscal Impact
Reporting the value of the 9% Employer Paid Member Contribution represents a 2.05% increase.
Prior to SB 53 the City was directly billed a lump sum for the additional P.E.R.S. retirement liability at
the time the employee retired.This method allows the City to fund this benefit over the course of the
employment period.

ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
IMPLEMENTING GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 20023 (C)(4) PURSUANT TO
SECTION 20615 BY REPORTING TO P.E.R.S. THE VALUE OF TilE 9% EMPLOYER
PAID MEMBER CONTRIBUTION (EPMC) FOR 'IRE HERMOSA BEACH POLICE
ASSOCIATION, CAPTAINS UNIT
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.
Analysis
Prior to June 30, 1994, the Public Employees' Retirement System (P. E. R. S.) allowed members to
convert vacation, comp and sick leave accruals to salary during that member's final year of
employment prior to retirement. Also, during that final compensation period the employee could stop
having the City pay their retirement percentage (9% Employer Paid Member Contribution/EPMC) and
have that also added to their salary.
Senate Bill 53 eliminated the practice of converting accruals during the final year and established
procedures for reporting the value of the EPMC.
The current language of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allows for the employee to
receive retirement credit for the 9% EPMC.
The attached resolution notifies P.E.R. S. pursuant to their procedures that the City will be reporting
the value of the 9% EPMC effective November 1, 1995.
Fiscal Impact
Reporting the value of the 9% Employer Paid Member Contribution represents a 2.05% increase.
Prior to SB 53 the City was directly billed a lump sum for the additional P.E.R: S. retirement liability at
the time the employee retired. This method allows the City to fund this benefit over the course of the
employment period.

quarterly shift changes shall begin on the first Sunday of the first month of each quarter. The
quarters shall run as follows: .
June, July, August
September, October, November

December -February and March -May and on April 1 for the quarters June -August and

The sign-up schedule will remain posted for thirty (30) days from the date of posting for
employee shift bidding. Management will then have thirty (30) days to finalize the schedule in
advance of the schedule change.`

D. With regard to new hire employees, following the successful completion of their
probationary period, and provided they have worked all shifts in the Patrol Bureau exclusive of
shifts worked while assigned to the Field Training Program, the employee will be allowed to
bid for shift and days off on a seniority basis.

period.
It shall be the sole responsibility of the junior employee wishing such a shift rotation to notify
the Field Services Division Commander immediately upon posting of each shift bidding
schedule.
F. In the event that a less junior employee qualifies for a shift rotation an desires to
exercise their prerogative to rotate to another shift, the employee with the least seniority in the
bidding process who has bid on a shift will be "bumped" to an alternate shift in order to
provide a shift opening for the junior employee.
The senior employee shall retain the right to select the deployment quarter in which they will
be displaced in the rotation. All other seniority rights shall remain in full force and effect.
29. EXTRA JOB SIGN-UPS
A. Regular officers of the. Hermosa Beach Police Department will be given priority over
reserve officers in the assignment of extra jobs. No restrictions on the number of regular
officers who can sign up for extra jobs shall be imposed. Regular officers will be compensated
for all hours worked on, extra jobs at their regular rate of pay.
B. To be eligible for an extra job, an officer must have completed their probationary period.
The officer must have signed up for the job at least five (5) days prior to the date listed on the
job posting. If no regular officer has signed up for the job five (5) days prior to the listed date,
the job may be assigned to a reserve officer. Available extra jobs will be posted on the
bulletin board at least ten (10) days in advance of the job date.
C. In the matter of foot patrol and beach patrol jobs, a monthly schedule will be posted, when
possible, at least five (5) days prior to the first day of the month: A sign-up list for foot patrol
and beach patrol extra jobs will be posted at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the job for
the following month. Failure to work a job assignment after having been selected to do so will
be deemed to be a violation of general orders. For emergency reasons, an officer may
provide a replacementfor the extra job from one of the other regular officers to cover the
assigned job. For the same reasons, and with the permission of the Division Commander, a
reserve officer may be used as a replacement in an emergency situation.
D. Nothing herein shall prohibit the City from hiring temporary civilian employees to perform
police related duties in the enforcement of Municipal Code provisions relating to bicycles and
skateboards. Any additional assignments of temporary civilian employees shall be subject to
the meet and confer process.
30. SHIFT COVERAGE
A. If for any reason the Police Department cannot meet a minimum three-person staffing
standard requirement, the Department shall have the right to fill positions with qualified
reserve officers. This may be done only when all regular officers have been contacted to
determine their availability to cover the shift or a portion of the shift which will be understaffed.
31. WATCH COMMANDER SELECTION
A. The Chief of Police shall have the right to establish criteria for selection of officers to be
placed on the Watch Commander's list. The Chief shall select any number to be placed on
the list and may removeofficers or add officers to the list at any time.
32. PERFORMANCE REVIEW
A. Upon completion of probation, each employee shall thereafter be reviewed annually; said
review to be constructive in nature and designated to point out areas of strengths, weakness,
methods for improvement, etc.
33. DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
A. For the purpose of defining disciplinary actions, the following definitions, shall be
applicable:
1. Disciplinary actions are defined as:
a. Dismissal
b: Demotion
Suspension
Reductions in pay
Reprimand (written)
Reductions in pay are governed by the "Blue Section" of the Police Manual.
Appeals from the disciplinary actions shall only be subject to the "Blue" section of.
the Police Manual entitled "Rules and Regulations:"
Prior to the commencement of any internal investigation which is likely to subject
the officer to disciplinary action, the officer shall be advised of their rights pursuant
to Section 3300, et. seq., of the California Government Code as amended. All
rights contained therein shall be applicable to the disciplinary actions and shall be
used as a minimum guideline only.
Any reprimand record or other writing containing negative comments (with the
exception of Performance Evaluations) included in the employees personnel
package is a written reprimand.
Inclusionary periods as currently set forth in the Police Department Rules and
Regulations shall remain in effect during this M.O.U.
Any officer receiving time off dispensed as a result of disciplinary action can use
either accumulated compensatory time or vacation time at their discretion.
However, when exceptional circumstances arise and the City feels that it is in the
best interest to keep an officer off duty for a limited period of time (not to exceed
five (5) working days), the city may exercise this right.
A. Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 2-42,: as currently enacted, is the governing
provision regarding layoff. However, City further agrees that, prior to implementation of any
such layoff, discussions shall be held to explore other alternatives, mitigation, etc.
B. It is further agreed that in the event the City should contract with another agency for
provision of police services, the Association shall receive six (6) months advance written
notice prior to the effective date of any such change.
35. NO SMOKING

provide that employees who become unit employees after the date this MOU goes into effect
shall, as a condition of their continued employment, refrain from smoking tobacco or any other
non -tobacco substance at any time on or off duty.: Violation of this condition of employment
shall be deemed good cause for dismissal.
36. ASSOCIATION DIRECTORS TIME
A. A maximum of two Board members shall be allowed to attend out of town meetings on City
time up to and including a cumulative total of five (5) working days per calendar year provided
such out of town meetings are for purposes of Association business. With the permission of
the Director of Public Safety additional days may be granted.
37. DURATION OF CONTRACT
This MOU is effective October 1, 1994 and shall remain in full force and effect through June
30, 1997.

execute this Memorandum of Understanding this day of 1995.

ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
IMPLEMENTING GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 20023 (C)(4) PURSUANT TO
SECTION 20615 BY REPORTING TO P.E.RS. THE VALUE OF THE 9% EMPLOYER
PAID MEMBER CONTRIBUTION (EPMC) FOR THE HERMOSA BEACH POLICE
ASSOCIATION, OFFICERS AND SERGEANTS UNIT
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.
Analysis
Prior to June 30, 1994, the Public Employees' Retirement System (P.E.R.S.) allowed members to
convert vacation, comp and sick leave accruals to salary during that member's final year of
employment prior to retirement. Also, during that final compensation period the employee could stop
having the City pay their retirement percentage (9% Employer Paid Member Contribution/EPMC) and
have that also added to their salary.
Senate Bill 53 eliminated the practice of converting accruals during the final yearand established
procedures for reporting the value of the EPMC.
The current language of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allows for the employee to
receive retirement credit for the 9% EPMC.
The attached resolution notifies P.E.R.S. pursuant to their procedures that the City will be reporting
the value of the 9% EPMC effective November 1, 1995.
Fiscal Impact
Reporting the value of the 9% Employer Paid Member Contribution represents a 2.05% increase.
Prior to SB 53 the City was directly billed a lump sum for the additional P.E.R.S. retirement liability at
the time the employee retired. This method allows the City to fund this benefit over the course of the
employment period.

/ v/9'
March 2, 1995
Regular Meeting
March 14, 1995
TO STUDY THE COMMERCIAL PERMITTED USE LIST
Planning Commission and Staff Recommendation
To approve the recommended changes to the commercial permitted use list.
Background
The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of this portion of the study at
their meeting of February 21,'1995.'
Part III is the third part of a comprehensive study of Articles 8 and 10 of the zoning ordinance
pertaining to permitted uses, conditional use permit requirements, and standard conditions that has
been broken into parts at the request of the Council, as follows:
I. Adding or deleting uses that require C.U.P.'s (COMPLE 1'h)
11 Standard and typical conditions imposed on C.U.P.'s (COMPLETE)
la. The list of permitted uses in the C-1, C-2, C-3 zones
P1. Use classifications/definitions.
The overall intent of this comprehensive study is to update, simplify, and streamline theseparts of
the zoning code to make it easier to administer, and more "user-friendly."
When each part of the study is completed, a comprehensive package of text amendments will be
processed for public hearings and eventual adoption by the Council.
The Council already reviewed a preliminary list of changes to the permitted use list along with
other parts of the study at a joint meeting with the Planning Commission on March 29, 1994, and
at the regular meeting of Apri126, .1994: The Council withheld comment on the use list and
instead directed that the study be broken down into parts.
Analysis
The attached Exhibit B is a proposed revised list of permitted use categories expressed in matrix
form to readily show which zones each use is permitted or conditionally permitted. This matrix
would replace the existing format which is a long list of specific uses for the C-1, C-2 and C-3
zones. Exhibit A shows in detail how the new list would change the existing list with comments
in the far right column.
The attached matrix incorporates the Council's recommendations to further reduce the uses which
should be required to obtain C.U.P.'s., and incorporates the recent changes to the requirements for
off -sale alcohol establishments. Staff has also consolidated the listed uses into fewer categories
where possible. The Commission added one more change, to eliminate churches as a permitted
use in the C-3 zone.
For further background and analysis please refer to the attachments.

PURPOSE: TO STUDY THE COMMERCIAL PERMITTED USE LIST
Recommendation
To recommend that the Council approve this portion of the study.
Background
PartlII is the third part of a comprehensive study of Article 10, the permitted use list, and
'associated definitions, that has been broken into parts at the request of the Council, as follows:
I. Adding or deleting uses that require C.U.P.'s (COMPLETE)
H. Standard and typical conditions imposed on C.U.P.'s (COMPLETE)
III. The list of permitted uses in the C-1, C-2, C-3 zones
IV. Use classifications/definitions:
The overall intent of this comprehensive study is to update, simplify, and streamline the zoning
code with respect to commercial uses and conditionally permitted commercial uses, and to make it
easier to administer, and more "user-friendly."
When each part of the study is completed, a comprehensive package of text amendments will be
processed for public hearings and eventual adoption by the Council.
Analysis
The attached Exhibit B is a proposed revised list of permitted use categories expressed in matrix
form to show the zones each use is permitted or conditionally permitted. This matrix would
replace the existing format of specific uses in three separate lists for C-1, C-2 and C-3. Exhibit A
shows in detail how the new list changes the existing list with comments in the far right column.
The Planning Commission has already reviewed a similar matrix at their meeting of April 5, 1994,
prior to the study being split into parts. The attached matrix includes the recommendations as
11
previously made by the Commission, and incorporates the Council's recommendations to further
reduce the uses which should be required to obtain C.U.P.'s., and incorporates the recent changes
to the requirements for off -sale alcohol establishments. Staff has also attempted to further reduce
the number of categories.
The proposed matrix of uses and zones will modernize our zoning ordinance consistent with
accepted practices in other cities. It will make this section easier to use and to understand. This
approach recognizes that types of businesses and commercial uses are constantly evolving and not
easily predicted. Thus specific business types are proposed to replaced with generic use categories
where appropriate. Further, the generic use categories are made as descriptive as possible, and will
be supplemented with definitions (to be reviewed as Part IV of this study)..
Also, staff proposes that a provision be added that would give either the Community Development
Director or the Commission the discretion to approve a proposed use which may not be listed if it
is found to be similar to a listed use. An example of such a provision is shown in Exhibit C, which
includes criteria for making such a determination. Currently the only way a use not listed may be
permitted is by ordinance amendment.

Staff Recommended Action: To recommend approval.
Mr. Schubach stated this part was to consolidate uses, making them more generic, and as Part IV, spell
out what the uses allow (as Part IV): Staff recommended uses based on criteria can be allowed without
holding a public hearing, which will shorten the time frame to obtain the permit. Comm. Di Monda
asked why religious buildings were considered commercial buildings when they typically were within
residential zones. Mr. Schubach stated other cities did not consider them commercial.
Chinn. Dettelbach opened the hearing at 10:52 p.m. No one wished to speak, and Chairman Dettelbach
closed the hearing at 10:52 p.m.
The , consensus of the Commission was to DIRECT Staff to investigate and make changes as
appropriate, forwarding the study and enclosures to City Council.

3. SIMILAR USES PERMI I I hi)
When a use is not specifically listed in this Development Code, it shall be under-
stood that the use may be permitted if it is determined by the Director that the
use is similar to other uses listed.
It is further recognized that every conceivable use can not be identified in this
Development Code, and anticipating that new uses will evolve over time, this
Section establishes the Director's authority to compare a proposed use and
measure it against those listed in this Development Code and the Standard In-
dustrial Classification Manual for determining similarity.
In determining "similarity" the Director shall make all of the following findings:
The proposed use shall meet the intent of, and be consistent with
the gpals, objectives and policies of the General Plan;
B. The proposed use shall meet the stated purpose and general intent of the
district in which the use is proposed to be located;
C.
The proposed use shall not adversely impact the public health, safety
and general welfare of the City's residents; and
D. The proposed use shall share characteristics common with, and not be of
greater intensity, density or generate more environmental impact, than
those uses listed in the land use district in which it is to be located.

Regular Meeting
March 14, 1995
(-7/q
SUBJECT: 1995 MEMORIAL DAY AND LABOR DAY FIESTA DE LAS ARTES
& APPROVAL TO DIRECT STAFF TO AMEND THE MUNICIPAL
CODE TO PERMIT ESTABLISHMENT OF A TEMPORARY
BUSINESS LICENSE FEE FOR ALL SPECIAL EVENTS
Recommendation
That the City Council
1. Approve the following street closure:
• Pier Avenue from the Strand to Manhattan Avenue
• Hermosa Avenue from 10th Street to 14th Street
1 lth Street west of Hermosa Avenue to 20 feet east of the parking lot
on May 27, 28, and 29 1995 & September 2, 3 and 4 1995
from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
2. Approve the proposal to collect a temporary business license
Itinerant Vendor License) as described below.
Background
Street closures require review by the Downtown Enhancement Commission and approval
by the City Council. On March 1, 1995 the D.E.C. recommend approval of the temporary
closure of Pier Avenue to conduct the Fiesta event. 13th Street and 14th Street west of
Hermosa Avenue to 20 feet east of the parking lot entrances are also included in the
temporary closure. The D.E.C. also recommended approval to initiate a temporary
business license for all vendors participating in the event.
The Fiesta is long-time Hermosa Beach event featuring artisans, food booths and fund-
raisers for non-profit and community organizations. It is primary source of revenue for
the Chamber and funds several non-profit groups located in Hermosa Beach. The Fiesta is
used to fund scholarships Business Education Partnership programs, Police, Firefighter
and Lifeguard Medal of Valor recognition, holiday street decorations, children's programs
and various city promotions and visitor information services.
The Chamber of Commerce is the event sponsor and the site management company is
Conte Productions. The Chamber will provide a certificate of insurance with $2 million
liability coverage naming the City of Hermosa Beach as additional insured.
In addition, the Chamber will coordinate and pay for maintenance associated with the
event including steam cleaning of sidewalks in the venue area following each event. The
Chamber will also reimburse the City for all direct costs related to the event including
police services.
The D.E.C. had requested that staff investigate the method and costs associated with
licensing vendors for special events such as the Fiesta. If it is the decision of the City
Council to implement the recommendations of the D.E.C. then staff would propose that
each event sponsor be in effect required to collect the :fee. This would be done on a group
basis rather than individually and would be paid by the event sponsors as a condition of
approval. They would provide a list of vendors that are participating and pay a fee based
on that number.
A summary of other cities utilizing an itinerant vendor fee for similar public events is
attached. With City Council direction, staff will prepare an amendment to the Municipal
Code to permit collection and administration of an itinerant business license fee.

p�iyNtt::G vE�T•
Again, we are requesting the use of Pier Avenue from the Strand to Manhattan Avenue and
Hermosa Avenue from 10th Street to 14th Street. As in the past, we will also need 13th Street and
1lth Street west of Hermosa Avenue to 20 feet east of the parking lot entrances. Space necessary
for emergency vehicles will be provided.
Within the past three years, the Fiesta Organizing Committee met extensively withdepartment
heads of Public Works, Police and Fire Departments, General Services, Planning Department and
Community Resources.
The issues addressed at that time included clean up, parking, transportation, vehicle and pedestrian
traffic control, security and venue adjustments.
These meetings resulted in refinement of event management plans that pleased city officials,
business owners and participants. Subsequent discussions with the above department heads confirm
satisfaction with the revised plan. Members of the Fiesta Organizing Committee and Chamber staff
plan to continue the tradition of meeting with city staff before and - after each event to ensure
continuation of a safe, well -organized and professionally managed event.
The event application has been extended and updated to include priority processing procedures for
merchants located in the venue area who choose to participate m the event.
Our Fiesta Organizing Committee and our site management firm, Conte Productions will continue
to cooperate with merchants in the area to keep as many streets as possible open to provide access
to parking lots and businesses.

Recognizing that many Hermosa Beach non-profit groups are dependent on Fiesta participation to
raise money, we will once again provide free space to them. We havebeen notified that 25 % to
85% of the annual income generated by these groups is earned at the Fiestas.
The profit generated for the Chamber through sponsorship of the Fiesta de las Artes pays for
scholarships, our Business Education Partnership program, Police, Firefighter and Lifeguard
Medal of Valor recognition, holiday street decorations, and children's programs co-sponsored with
the city such as "Paint the Town Spring", "Spring Egg-stravaganza" and "Halloween Howl". In
addition, the Chamber is able to provide extensive city promotion and visitor information services
at no cost to the city or its taxpayers.
The Chamber of Commerce will provide a certificate of insurance with $2 million liability
coverage naming the City of Hermosa Beach as additional insured.
As in the past, the Chamber will coordinate and pay for steam cleaning of sidewalks in the venue
area following each event.
The Chamber will reimburse the, City for all direct costs related to the event including police
services.
We are requesting that the Downtown Enhancement Commission recommend approval of our
request to the City Council for these specific items:
�.
Closure of the above mentioned streets to through traffic from
6 am to 8 pm on the three days of each show.
Assistance frpm the city departments as listed above.
We respectfully ask that this request be placed on the March 1, 1995 Downtown Enhancement
Commission agenda for approval, ° and subsequently agendized for the March 14, 1995 City
Council meeting for final approval.
Thank you in advance for your favorable consideration of our request. We look forward to
continuing to work with the Downtown Enhancement Commission in our mutual goal of downtown
promotion.

Sunset Drive - Encroachment Issues
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
Authorize the City Manager to negotiate with adjacent property owners
agreements to lease parcels of Sunset Drive between 4th Street and 6th Street.
Appropriate the proceeds from the leasing of Sunset Drive to the funding o
improvements to South Park. (CIP 94-515)
Background:
The City Council, at their regular meeting of April 12, 1994 reviewed a request from three
residents of Lorna Drive to purchase portions of the Sunset Drive right-of-way adjacent to
South Park. The issue of encroachments onto Sunset Drive further to the south along the
westerly park property line was also examined. Attached please find the April 12, 1994
item which includes exhibits A-1 thru A-3 depicting the existing encroachments into and in
some cases beyond the Sunset Drive right-of-way.
As design of. South Park was not complete at the time this item was originally brought to
council it was determined that resolution should be withheld until park access issues had
been decided upon.
The South Park plan, as approved by City Council at their October 25, 1994 meeting,
included repositioning of the park access points from the original conceptual plans. Access
will now be from Valley and Loma Drives rather than Cypress Avenue. Secondary access
from Sunset Drive has been eliminated.
The relocation of the northwest park entrance from Sunset Drive to Loma Drive suggests
that the 10' wide Sunset right-of-way no longer serves it's originally intended purpose as
an accessway. It still, however, contains utility easements for electrical and telephone
service.
Staff believes that it is in the City's best interest to turn over the Sunset Drive right-of-way
to the neighboring properties. Doing so would reduce maintenance, increase safety and
bring these properties into some sort of co_mpliance.with_the City's planning codes. Any
encroachment beyond the limits of Sunset Drive will require removal and replacement
within the subject adjoining property. The City could then construct a property line wall to
clarify the location of the park boundary. The cost of such wall would be funded by
proceeds generated by the lease or sale of Sunset Drive.
In the interest of safety, practicality and maintainability staff recommends that City
Council direct staff to parcel out Sunset Drive and lease these parcels to the adjoining
properties. Leases to have 99 year terms. Existing utility easements shall be maintained
within these leased parcels:
Fiscal Impact:
Appraisals of the property in question run from $10 to $12 per square foot. There would
be eight parcels averaging. 300 square feet in size. (1 -10'x25',1 -10'x35' and 6-10'x30'
parcels) Staff recommends an $11/S.F. cost for a 99 year lease. This would generate a
$26,400 resource that could be added to funding for South Park. This funding would be
appropriated towards the construction of property line walls with the remainder towards
Phase II park amenities such as the school building deck, plaza furnishings or upgrades to
the roller hockey rink.
South Park- Project Update
As construction reaches the 1/3rd point in the term of the contract marked progress is
apparent onsite. Retaining wall construction is basically complete excepting the installation
of the cap. Grading is nearing completion and the site is really starting to take on it's
intended shape. Removals are complete. The irrigation mainline is in place as is the
lighting conduit. Edison has completed the installation street light conduit along Valley
Drive. Work on the lower parking area and deceleration lane has been delayed due to the
rains but should be started sometime this week, weather permitting.
Staff is contemplating the addition of the upper parking area and Loma Drive access road
to Phase Ito create a more finished product. This item would fall within the contingency .
amount specified for the project. The South Park Project is on schedule and within budget
with construction completion expected by June.

Dear Mr. Burrell,
We, the undersigned, as owners and residents of the properties listed above, would like to repeat
our offer to -the -city to purchase -the most -westerly portions of South—Park abutting oiu piopeilies. This is
an area of 10'w x 30'1. We understand that the utility companies have easements and that we must
continue to recognize these easements and rights to them should the city accept our offer which was made
at $10.00 per square foot.
Should the city decide not to accept our offer we would like to be granted an "encroachment
permit" so that we could use the land as part of our landscaping. We would like to do this in a legal
manner and with the approval of the city.
Signed

SOUTH SCHOOL PARK: ENCROACHMENTS AND REQUESTS
FROM RESIDENTS TO PURCHASE LAND
ea
t--_�& .nir,�,•rs s*tr- ..g-: « da �: ?'kts. ,: • ,taTa .-z'rar:
Residents request: Sale of open space property
The Commission submitted a conceptual plan fora neighborhood park with
maximum residential (pedestrian) access. This plan included park entrances
-from all sides andVas inclusive -of`an entiyw`ayarSu.nset.y "The residents have
requested. land that may be designated for this pedestrian access per the
conceptual plan (Attachment C).
The. City has retained the services of J. F. Davidson Associates, Inc.
Architects who will reexamine the park design and will prepare a final plan
for the park. There are two (2) entrances possible from the northwest side of
the park: one (1) at Sunset and one (1) at Loma Drive. The Commission
favored access from both streets but the final plan may include just one (1). If
Sunset is selected as a pedestrian access area,_ then it would obviously not be
advisable for the City to consider selling this land. Furthermore, necessary
notifications would need to be made to the residents ordering them to remove
the fences that are currently on City property. Once the South School Park
design is complete, if this entrance is not retained, it may be worthwhile for
the Council to reconsider the request.
Per the attached letter, the residents cite safety concerns with the potential
addition of a pedestrian walkway adjacent to their property. In fact, (if it is
constructed) this walkway will serve in a dual role for the City: as a park
entryway and as an avenue for emergency vehicle access. As advised by the
Commission, the park entries will be lighted for safety and will provide Police
and the neighbors with improved visibility into the park. Experience with
other areas in the City would suggest that the more "open" a park is, and the
easier it is for Police to enter it from all sides, the less likely security
problems will arise.
In reviewing this topic (and other similar requests), the Commissioners also
expressed that they felt that the majority of residents in the City would favor
the retention of every square foot of open space the City owns. That is, based
on the, history of the City, the residents' value for parks and open
space acquisition is high and favored over other land uses.
Encroachments
The attached map of parcels notes the City property currently in use by
residents. On the southwest side of the park, virtually every residence
encroaches on the City property line. The existing fence may have provided
some historical reason for the encroachments as it is placed 31' east of the
actual property line. It is also noteworthy that due to the long term problems
these residents have been subjected -to with the abandoned school site, most
of the encroachments have been made in the interests of landscaping an
otherwise visually blighted area (one resident even installed a sprinkler
system and lawn).
Absent parcel #24 where a: spa encroaches over 11' 9" into City property,
the encroachments would not pose a significant problem to the construction
of an adequate entryway from 4th and Culper. The City would still have
ample room to landscape and create a pedestrian path while allowing for the
portion of the property currently in use by residents.
As with the request above, the key factor will be the final park design and the
usability of the land in question to the City.
Conclusions
Council needs to make a policy decision that will either:
consider the retention of maximum open
driving force for decisions; or
space for the City as the
• will favor allowing residents to encroach and/or purchase open space
property if it does not compromise the master plan.
Clearly the City needs to balance the overall needs of the community with the
compatibility of the park to the neighborhood. In the Commission planning
process, great care was taken to acknowledge the adjacent residents by
creating a moderate impact park; by avoiding facilities with night lighting
requirements; by creating an open and visible park to address security
concerns; and by attempting to enable easy access for residents living in the
immediate vicinity.
Investigating the encroachments will produce more questions than answers
until a final architectural plan is approved by the Council. The City will want
to keep the affected residents in the loop for all relevant decisions about the
site including the park master --plan. To combine a public noticing effort for
both issues would be cost and time effective for the City and residents..
Recognizing that the neighbors have been good caretakers of the existing site
andthat they will be the watchdogs for the park in the future, the City will
needto approach the issue of encroachments with sensitivity in order to
create a cooperative climate for park development.
Other alternatives available to Council include:
•
Notify residents who are encroaching on City property to remove fences
etc.
2. Direct staff to develop a plan to sell the open space land to residents as
requested.
3 Request more information.

ATTACHMENT "A"
February 14, 1994
Dear Mayor, Council Members and Commisioners of Parks and Recreation:
It has come to our attention that the South Park Project has included a small strip of land in the
Northwest corner. This strip runs behind three houses. We are the owners of those houses (517, 521 and
531 Loma Drive). • The land in question is depicted in the attached copy of the plan. The top right of the
picture shows a pan handle that is 10 feet wide by 90 feet deep. This appears to be a portion of the park
that may be more ora headache than it issuseful This area would be hard to light, it would be a safety
concern and it would create a maintence problem.
We are proposing that the city allows us to purchase this land. This would eleviate the city's
responsibilty to the land, it would reduce development costs and provide additional funds to help offset the
project's cost. The land had been appraised at about $10 a square foot a few years ago which would be a
total sale price of $9,000. This cost would be split between the three homeowners.
Thank you

Midstokke:
Wiemans,
Essertier, and
We the undersigned as owners, and/or owner representatives of parcels
12, 13, 14, 15 in Tract 1686 are petitioning the City of Hermosa
Beach to vacate the originally dedicated 10 foot alley behind our.
parcels. A recent photograph of the subject vacant land is enclosed.
This is the end of Culper Court and it has not been used since
conception and is still not needed, nor, as we understand, is it of the
proper alley width to be legally usuable for this purpose. We do
realize there are certain utilities present on this land and that a
utility easement would likely continue to bean effect.
The purpose of our petition is to provide ourselves with potential
parkland. Landscaping this land will enhance its beauty as well as
provide some protection against visual blight from the South School
property which our backyards overlook.
We acknowledge that no permanent structures may be placed on the newly
deeded property. Once recorded, the alley would be deeded to our
individual existing properties
At this point, we ask that you instruct Public Works to begin a
preliminary analysis. Once complete we would like to obtain a cost
estimate for the owners to complete the City vacation proceeding.
Please refer your response to Brent R. Harris, 416 Monterey Blvd.,
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
Thank you for your timely response to this matter.

let us know how we can facilitate this as soon as possible.
Also, we are interested in knowing what kind of a wall you are thinking of
constructing to separate the park from private property. Please consider a low wall so that
the residents can see the park from our properties. With the existing berm, which will be
landscaped in drought tolerant plants, I don't believe a high wall will be either necessary
or aesthetically pleasing.
We are very pleased with the construction to date and look forward to the opening
of the park.

Dear Hon. Mayor and Council Members:

the total amount of Insurance required by the City for the St. Patrick's Day Parade and
Festival.
RECEIVED'
MAR 81995
CITY MGR. OFFICE
The amount currently required is two million per incident. Our insurance broker, Mr.
Cary Bichlmeier, informs us that the difference between one and two million is $1,000 in
premium. Further Mr. Bichlmeier, who places the insurance for many events in the
South Bay area, has told us that even the large 10K run in Redondo only requires one
Million per incident, and that is what he had purchased for the recent First Night event
As our Committee is, as the Council well knows, short of money, we request the Council
give serious consideration to our request to reduce the per incident amount of insurance
to one Million.
Thank you for your consideration.

South Bay Saint Patrick's Day Parade
Committee: request for reduction in
Insurance coverage
The Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Commission has established a $2 million
minimum as the insurance requirement for special events. This amount is required of all of
the commercially -sponsored events in the City (such as Volleyball Tournaments). As
such, this was the insurance requirement recommended by staff and approved by Council
at the last meeting. On occasion, as with "First Night," City Council has elected to
reduce the coverage from $2 million to $1 million as a means of assisting the group with
cost containment.
It is easy to argue the wisdom of higher levels of insurance coverage, understanding the.
potential exposure public events can bring to the City. This is why the Commission
initiated an increase some years back. As noted by the South Bay Saint Patrick's Day
Committee, however, many cities have not revised insurance levels over the years and $1
million is often the level required by other cities.

ORDINANCE #76-547 CHAPTER 8 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 8-5
CIVIL DEFENSE AND DISASTER RELATING TO EMERGENCY
ORGANIZATIONS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE CITY DURING TIMES OF
EMERGENCY
Recommendation
It is recommended by staff that Council:
Approve the attached policy manual for the City's Emergency Operations Center
(EOC);
2. Amend Ordinance 76-547 (Attachment C) Chapter 8 of the Municipal Code Civil
Defense and Disaster relating to Emergency organizations;
Adopt Resolution to become effective 30 days after the adoption of the Ordinance
amending Section 8-5 (Attachment D) to change the order of command in case of
emergency.
Background
Both by ordinance and by the City's Code of Ethics (Attachment A), City employees are
required to perform as emergency workers during disasters. As such, employees may find
their work roles during emergencies to be quite different than what they are used to.
The City already has a MultiHazard Functional Plan; a plan which is currently being
revised by staff in cooperation with the Area G Disaster Coordinator (projected
completion in June, 1995).
Analysis
The purpose of the attached document (Attachment B) is to provide City employees with
an "easy to follow" guideline, defining their functional roles in the event of an emergency.
Different than the Multillazard Plan, the Emergency Response Plan is a "living document"
reflecting the actual organization and its resources including updated phone lists, forms,
and organizational plans. The plan will serve as a resource tool for employee training and
as a basic guidebook for disaster response for employees who are not accustomed to
responding to emergencies.
The plan is structured to be in compliance with the Standardized Emergency Management
System (SEMS), featuring a basic Incident Command Structure (includes 4 functional
divisions: Operations, Planning, Logistics and Finance). These divisions create a
framework for shifting command structures during an emergency so that City services are
coordinated more efficiently. As an example, the Operations Division (led by the Chief of
Police) includes Public Works. It is easy to understand the logic of this kind of
consolidation as disaster -related rescues often require the use of heavy equipment.
This plan was approved by the Area G Disaster Coordinator and will be forwarded to the
State for review as a companion document to the new MultiHazard Functional Plan once
it is completed.
In order to be consistent with State requirements, all references to the "Director of
Emergency Services" have been changed to read "Incident Commander/Director of
Emergency Operations Center."
While there is clearly a role for the City Council in the event of an emergency
(continuation of government), it would be prudent to revise the role of the Mayor as the
alternate EOC Director to that of a staff alternate in order to be consistent with the new
policy. Additionally, (depending on the magnitude of the situation) it may be optimum for
an employee other than the City Manager to be the EOC Director (e.g., the Chief of
Police).
Finally, in order to allow the City to be more responsive to potential future changes at the
State or local level, the Ordinance will be amended to allow future changes to be made by
resolution.

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
CODE OF ETHICS
As employees working for the City of Hermosa Beach, we are to place the
public interest above all else and to serve the people of the community in
a manner deserving of their trust. This includes a commitment to
excellence in service; a respect for thea organization and its property and
a responsiveness in accomplishing the objectives set out by City Council.
To ensure the trust is upheld; employees are to conduct themselves in a
helpful . and professional manner in the conduct of their duties and are to
regard the people of Hermosa Beach as customers worthy of the highest
level of service and respect.
. Attachment A
We are obliged to serve the City in the most efficient way possible. This
means that employees seek and find cost effective ways to get the job
done.
While most information about the organization can be shared with the
public, employees are to respect and protect any confidential information
we may have access to as a result of our position in the City.
In public service it is not only important to avoid any outright illegal
acts; it is also important to avoid the appearance of impropriety. That is,
employees must avoid any acts that would appear to affect their ability to
deliver fair and impartial service. Employees must not accept any
personal gift, favor, service or anything of value from the public which
may affect or have the appearance of affecting work related decisions.
Employees are also at an obligation to avoid engaging in any outside
business activities that could appear to be in conflict with the faithful
discharge of their duties with the City.
Employees are not to discriminate unfairly byaffording any special favors
or privileges to anyone and are not to accept any similar favors from
others as a result of employment with the City.
City property is purchased at the expense . of the taxpayers and must be.
handled in a safe and conscientious manner. Equipment and supplies are
for the completion of work related duties and are not for personal use.
City employees are encouraged to participate fully in the spirit of public
service. City employees may be assigned as disaster service workers in
the event of an emergency..
Public employees are highly visible and are expected to avoid actions
whether on or off duty that may reflect poorly on the organization.
Employees are expected to be loyal to the highest moral principles in
conducting their duties with the City and to give a full days work for a
full days pay; giving the utmost effort and thought to doing the best job
they can do. Through this kind of dedicated service, the City will inspire
and maintain the public trust and will serve the community in the best
manner possible with the resources available.

City of Hermosa Beach:
Emergency Organization
Adopted by City Council on 3/14/95
In the City of Hermosa Beach, there exists the potential for a
variety of disasters including: earthquakes, floods, civil
unrest, major fires and hazardous materials incidents.
On those rare occasions when the City is faced with emergency
conditions, City staff is obliged ethically and by City Code
to mobilize as a unified emergency organization—in some
cases abandoning traditional work roles for new jobs as part
of the City's Emergency Team.

PART II
THE EMERGENCY PLAN
Purpose of.this plan:
1. To provide an outline that can be useful in a variety of emergency situations.
2. To identify roles and job functions during emergencies:
3. To ensure that all the necessary work is completed by the Emergency Team.
4. To provide guidance for new managers/employees as to the City's emergency policies.
5. To assist in disaster education and training.
6. To assist in protecting the health and welfare of our citizens.
7. To serve as a policy guideline as an enhancement to the City's Multihazard Functional
Emergency Operations Plan.
In an emergency, response efforts shall be prioritized as follows:
1. People whose lives are in immediate danger.
2. Life threatening fires, floods, leaks, etc.
3. Life threatening injuries.
4. Major threats to property.
5. Injured persons (not life threatening).
6. Essential systems and services.
7. Recovery of fatalities.
8. Continuity of Government.
9. Public Information.
Who is in charge? In an emergency, this plan can be activated by:
1. City Manager.
2. Assistant City Manager (first alternate).
3. Chief of Police (second alternate).
4. Fire Chief.
5. Any Department Head.
6. The employee present with the highest degree of expertise in the emergency at hand.
7. The Mayor.
Declaring an emergency:
The Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem or the Director of Emergency Services has the power to
declare a local emergency and to request the governor to declare a state of emergency.
This plan may be activated either partially or fully depending on the magnitude of the
situation:
• First level of activation: update this plan, review contact lists and/or perform
disaster drills.
• Second level of activation: Partial --the EOC is activated but only some positions are
filled. This may occur during a smaller emergency that a limited number of employees
can handle or it may be used as a first step towards what may become full activation.
• Third level of activation: Full activation --the EOC is activated and all or most of the
positions are filled. This involves an emergency requiring a full dispatch of City
services.
Who should help? Emergency personnel should be used in this order:
l: City employees.
2. Skilled individuals from other organizations.
3. Independent volunteers.
4. Citizens pressed into service by the Director (declared emergencies only).
What about the City Council? Continuity of Government:
1. City Council may convene during emergencies for a number of reasons. To provide.
for the continuation of the Council during an emergency, the Council may appoint
standby members as necessary --(see Section 8-11 of the Municipal Code - in Section
IV of this manual).
2. If City Hall is unusable, the temporary seat of government will be:
• Civic Theater - first alternate.
• Hermosa Valley School multi-purpose room - second alternate.
• Third alternate as directed by the Incident Commander.
An emergency changes the City staff organization as follows:
1. Several departments work under one leader, even though they normally work
independently.
2. Special purpose units may form to perform emergency tasks, such as emergency
transportation or food. If you serve in such a unit, you may be detached from your
regular department.
3. Hours of work may be altered significantly as City employees become emergency
workers.
4. Functional roles of employees during an emergency may change according to the
priorities at the time even as the events unfold.
Your role/responsibilities as a City employee in an emergency:
1 Be prepared for emergencies for yourself and your family (plan, stock emergency
supplies, establish an out-of-state contact, pre -arrange child care for times you will be
called to the EOC).
2. Have an emergency kit at work to include (may be tailored to your special needs):
• Sweatpants/shirt/jacket

Personal hygiene items
Work gloves
Procedures manual

Change for phone calls

work.
6. If telephones are not functioning, report to work.
7. If you are driving to work, take care to listen to your car radio for emergency updates.
In the event of an earthquake, avoid bridges, overpasses and power lines.
8. When you report to work, arrive at the EOC to obtain you your assignment. Your
duties and supervisor may differ from your traditional job assignment.
9. Make notes of any damage assessments you may observe in the City on your way in.
Report these to the EOC.
The Emergency Operations Center - EOC:
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as the center of the City's emergency
response effort. All of the functions of the emergency organization will be carried out or
directed from the EOC.
For Hermosa Beach, the EOC location will be as follows:
1. Primary EOC: City Hall Conference Room (downstairs).
2. First Alternate: Room 12 Hermosa Beach Community Center.
3. Second alternate: TBD by Incident Commander.
Other organizations:
Depending on the magnitude of the emergency, the City of Hermosa Beach may require
mutual aid. Mutual Aid should be requested in this order:
1. Other cities
2. LA County Area G - Office of Emergency Preparedness
(310) 527-2272 (Casey Chel - Coordinator) 366-1937 pager, 701-2352 cell
phone, 527-2275 fax
3. State (California Master Mutual Aid Agreement)
4. Federal
5. International
Financial Aid:
The State helps local governments pay for disaster services. To ensure this help is
provided, Hermosa Beach must:
1. Formally declare a local emergency within 10 days after the actual occurrence of the
natural disaster.
2. Conduct an accurate assessment of damages.
3. Apply for aid within 60 days after the declaration of emergency (Government code
sections 8680-8692).

2. Director, California Office of Emergency Services.
3. Regional Manager, California Office of Emergency Services.
4. County Operational Coordinator (Area G).
5. Director of EOC (City Manager or alternate).
Red Cross:
The role of the Red Cross is primarily to operate shelters for disaster victims. Other roles
may include first aid, damage assessment, communications and referrals to other help
agencies. The Red Cross usually initiates its own response to an emergency, but it is a
good idea to check with them during any emergency to coordinate responses (see phone
list).
Military Aid is usually provided by the National Guard. Their role is to assist but not
substitute for City response efforts. To request help from the Guard, the Incident
Commander should call Area G for assistance.
Business and industry:
The Incident Commander may direct staff to buy supplies and services for use during
emergencies. If necessary, he/she may commandeer what the City needs (Municipal Code
8-6).

INTRODUCTION TO THE IDEA/ONICS EAS
The Idea/onics Emergency Alert System (EAS) is designed to
provide fast, inexpensive and dependable emergency communications.
The Idea/onics EAS is a breakthrough in technology which makes
it possible for even the smallest cable television systems to
provide an instant access to all television channels including
mid -band, super -band and hyper -band through GGG.
The Idea/onics EAS overrides the headend system and can be used
to provide emergency chemical spill, fire, weather or related
life threatening information. This system is also designed
to fit the needs of hotels, motels, MATV, or SMATV systems at
an affordable price with outstanding flexability and simplicity.
ACCESS TO THE EAS
The access point to the Idea/onics EAS would usually be a
telephone in the office of the mayor, fire chief, police chief,
sheriff or other designated official but is accessable from any
touch tone telephone using the proper access code. The over-
ride is voice only and blanks the television screen following
a 5 second emergency tone. If a television set is in use on
the cable system, it is virtually impossible to miss the
emergency message.
The 3 digit security code, (911) or other specified code, is
used to activate the system for ultra security preventing any
unauthorized or accidental access to the system. The code
is field changeable and may be specified by the purchaser.
When the proper code is entered, audio information can be
provided to anyone viewing television on the cable system.
The unit provides an automatic 3 minute shutdown so as to pre-
clude the possibility of the EAS ever causing a cable wide
system failure by accident.
The unit in the standby mode is:only partially active and
will not degrade the cable system's performance.
the audio quality is excellent and the volume level is
automatically controlled (AGC). The level is preset at
the factory so no further adjustments are necessary.
(30db dynamic range).
INSTALLATION
The Idea/onics EAS is installed between the existing headend
and outgoing trunk of the cable television system, SMATV, or
MATV. As mentioned earlier, the access point should be a
designated location by local telephone line (Touch tone).
The installation is very simple and can be performed by any
cable technician with even a limitedcable television background.
OPERATION
The Idea/onics EAS is accessed simply with a 3 digit code from
any touch tone telephone. The standard:code is the emergency
911 number which equates the system with the nationwide standard
emergency number. Any 3 digit code may be ordered and the.code
can also 13e changed in the field.
To access the system from any touch tone telephone, dial the
assigned telephone number. Following the second ring, the.
unit will answer and the user will have an approximate 12 second
window in which to key the proper access code. Failure to
access the system in the 12 second window will automatically
disconnect the unit for added security. When the proper
access code is entered, a 5 second emergency tone is
emitted both in the telephone receiver and over the system.
At the conclusion of the 5 second tone, the user will have
3 minutes to deliver any emergency message.; At the conclusion
of the emergency message, the user should press the telephone
cross -hatch # for immediate disconnect and restoration of normal
programming. Should the operator fail to press the cross-
hatch #, the system will automatically disconnect and restore
normal programming at the end of approximately 3 minutes. .
An extended option is also available to override the 3 minute
automatic disconnect. The option is activated by keying the
0 on the telephone.
The Idea/onics EAS is designed to be simple and trouble free
and to give years of excellent service for the very large or
very small cable television system, SMATV, or MATV system.
The Idea/onics EAS answers the need for a superior but simple,
trouble free and inexpensive way to provide emergency alert
access to your cable television, SMATV or MATV system.

To City
The EAS system installs at the output of the combiner and should
be ordered to match the output of the combiner. (RF Insertion loss
is less than ddb).
The output of the EAS feeds the city with a simple RG -59 cable.
Access to the EAS is made through any standard touch tone telephone.
A telephone connection is built into the unit and plugs into any
standard telephone jack. An unlisted telephone number is suggested.
When activated, the Idea/onics EAS unit disconnects the headepd and
inserts a modified comb generator producing 24, 69 or 88 aural
carriers with an internal modulated sync generator. No external
video connection is available.
To access the system from any touch tone telephone, dial the assigned
telephone number. Following the second ring, the unit will answer
and the user will have an approximate 12 second window in which to
key the proper access code. When the proper access code is entered,
a 5 second emergency tone is emitted both in the telephone receiver
and over the system. At the conclusion of the 5 second tone, the
user will have 3 minutes to deliver any emergency message. At the
conclusion of the message, the user should press the telephone cross
hatch # for disconnect and restoration of normal programming.

Purpose:
To obtain City Council approval to begin negotiations on the second 5 -year term.
Background:
The contract with BFI was signed on March 12, 1991. The initial term was 5 years and
will expire on March 30, 1996. The contract provides for a second 5 -year term at. the.
City's sole option.
The contract language for the second 5 -year term allows for the City to amend the
contract to add or change provisions that are important now. The items would be
presented to BFI and, if they agreed, the City would be in the position to approve the
second 5 -year term. If no agreement was reached, then an RFP would be developed,
including the provisions the City wished to add, and other trash haulers would be asked to
submit proposals.
The items that staff would propose to add include the following:
1. CLARIFICATION OF LARGE ITEM PICK-UP
2. COMMERCIAL RECYCLING
3.. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM
4. AB939 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND AB939 FEE
5. - PUBLIC TRASH CONTAINER PICK-UP
6. CONSUMER RECYCLING MATERIALS
7. SPECIAL PICK-UP DAYS
8. UPDATE INDEMNIFICATION CLAUSE
9. BILLING PROCEDURE, INCLUDING LIEN PROCESS AND USING TAX
BILL PROCESS
10. UPDATE. ENTIRE CONTRACT
These items would be presented in a detailed form with specific programs and costs
developed to determine whether or not the particular service is worth the cost. Once the
draft of the plan of services is complete, the entire package will be returned to the City
Council for review and approval.
A copy of the rates, for residential services is attached foryour information. The Hermosa
Beach rate for residential pick-up once a week is $10.03; this includes recycling.

RE: COMMERCIAL REFUSE RATES IN THE BEACH CITIES
Attached are the rates for Hermosa, Redondo and Manhattan. There are several items
that you need to take note of.
1) Both Manhattan and Redondo rates call for a "walk in" or "scout" service fee.
These fees are charged to all properties in which the driver must leave the vehicle
and walk more than 15 feet, or in cases when a specialised "scout" truck (a pickup
truck with forks) are used. This is used In all subterranean dumpster locations,
alleys, etc.. In Redondo and Manhattan, 8O% of all stops in the city have these
special charges added.
Hermosa Beach rates are complete as written, and there are no additional
charges.
Manhattan adds $1.45 for AB 939 to the commercial rates.
Hermosa Beach rates are complete as written, and there are no additional
charges.
