(over) U THE HERMOSA BEACH FORM OF GOVERNMENT Hermosa Beach has the Council -Manager form of government, with a City Manager appointed by and responsible to the City Council for carrying out Council policy. The Mayor and Council decide what is to be done. The City Manager, operating through the entire City staff, does it. This separation of policy making and administration is considered the most economical and efficient form of City government in the United States today. The following explanations may help you to understand the terms found on most agendas for meetings of the Hermosa Beach City Council. GLOSSARY Consent Items ... A compilation of all routine matters to be acted upon by one vote; approval requires a majority affirmative vote. Any Councilmember may remove an item from this listing, thereby causing that matter to be considered under the category Consent Calendar items Removed For Separate Discussion. Public Hearings ... Public Hearings are held on certain matters as required by law -or by direction of Council. The Hearings afford the public the opportunity to appear and formally express their views regarding the matter being heard. Additionally, letters may be filed with the City Clerk, prior to the Hearing. Ordinances ... An ordinance is a law that regulates government revenues and/or public conduct. All ordinances require two "readings". The first reading introduces the ordinance into the records. At least 5 days later Council may adopt, reject or hold over the ordinance to a subsequent meeting. Most ordinances take effect 30 days after the second reading. Emergency ordinances are governed by different provisions and waive the time requirements. Written Communications ... The public, members of advisory boards/commissions or organizations may formally communicate to or make a request of Council by letter; said letters should be filed with the City Clerk by Noon the Tuesday preceding the Regular City Council meeting and request they be placed on the Council agenda.

Nominations for the award may be made by citizens, City Council Members, Department Heads and other employees. From the nominations, the Management Team has selected the following employee for recognition. Detective Raul Saldana, HBPD Detective Saldana started his career with the City in May 1987 and has been a member of the Detective Bureau for the past three years. He has distinguished himself with outstanding work in difficult cases, including an attempted murder and the tragic homicide of a newborn infant. During each of these cases, Raul has demonstrated the skills and experience of a good investigator. He is looked upon by members of the department as a dedicated and highly skilled officer. It is officers like Raul Saldana that maintain the integrity and strength of law enforcement. The citizens of the City of Hermosa Beach are fortunate to have Detective Saldana among the ranks of its Police Department. Raul is being commended here for his outstanding and sustained performance and is being presented a City plaque to commemorate his selection as 'Employee of the Quarter".

(A copy of that letter is attached for your reference.) That letter specifically requested that copies be distributed to the council members and placed on the City Council agenda. After two regular council meetings and one special meeting, the letter has yet to be put on the agenda. Furthermore, there has been no response from the City or your office. I again request that the August 8, 1995 letter, and this letter be distributed to the members of the City Council and both letters be put on the next agenda. I would also like to know why no action or response has been received as of this date. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (310) 379-0065 or the above number.

Burrell City Manager City of Hermosa Beach Civic Center 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, GA 90254.3885 Re: Conditions of Beach After FIVB Volleyball Tournament Dear Mr. Burrell: As you know, Hermosa Beach hosted a World Series stop of the Federation International DE Volleyball tour during the week of July 10 through 16. On Saturday, July 22, 1995, a group of local players, along with Steve Filiman, set up the local courts and began playing "work up" games as is our custom on weekends. The problem, however, and the reason for this letter, is that buried beneath the sand were 22 pieces of 10" x 10" plywood, 2 metal pole connectors, 2 pieces of wood measuring in excess of 12" x 24", pieces of rusted wire, plastic connectors and other materials. These hidden dangers were all discovered while playing volleyball and are currently in my possession. The City should feel very fortunate that the people who were injured suffered only minor cuts and bruises. Even though the organizer of the event may be responsible for the beach after the event, it is the City of Hermosa Beach that ultimately would be held liable. This problem seems to reoccur on our beach after each professional volleyball event that is hosted by Hermosa Beach. (As you may recall this same problem was brought to the City's attention in June of 1994 after a WPVA event.) (See attached reply from City.) For this reason I have been asked by some of the local players to talk to the City Council about this problem. • Stephen R. Burrell August 8, 1995 Page 2 Therefore, I request that copies of ;this letter be distributed to the mayor and each council person. Furthermore, I request that this letter be put on the agenda for the next council meeting. j If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at the above number or at my home office number of (310) 379-0065. Thank you for your cooperation. Very jpuly yours, COREY W. GLAVE CWG:Ib C:\W P W I N\D OCS\G U V EIV O L L [Y\C W G 07 315. LT R CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM DATE: September 20, 1995 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Mary Rooney As Council is well aware from the last meeting, Mr. Glave discovered some debris that was mistakenly left behind after the Olympic Qualifying event for beach volleyball (operated by CE Sports). Subsequent to Mr. Glave's testimony, a representative from CE Sports, James Leight, apologized to the Council and assured the City that this would not happen again. In his letter, Mr. Glave refers to Steve Fillman who teaches recreation volleyball classes for the City. In an effort to ensure that our courts are well maintained, the City requires event promoters to contract his services to restore the courts to their original condition after each event. Mr. Fillman has been made aware of the reported problem and will be directed to monitor future events for "hidden" debris. Furthermore, staff has added beach sanitizing to the list of clean-up items for event organizers when they do any onsite construction. In reference to Mr. Glave's second letter concerning a lack of formal response from the City; since it was requested to be placed on a Council agenda, staff knew it would be addressed formally at the meeting. Community Resources staff did not respond separately, believing it would be placed on the last Council agenda, however, it was unintentionally missed by Administration staff. 7OUCHRE2 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH )9/20/95 08:19 VOUCHER/CHECK REGISTER FOR ALL PERIODS PAGE 1 IOUCHER/ :HECK CHECK VENDOR VENDOR ITEM ACCOUNT ITEM CHECK HUMBER DATE NUMBER NAME DESCRIPTION NUMBER AMOUNT AMOUNT 4240 08/03/95 000243 HERMOSA BEACH PAYROLL A PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 001-1103 345,962.64 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 001-1103 8,962.94 - PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 105-1103 12,301.51 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 109-1103 999.17 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 110-1103 39,514.29 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 140-1103 95.85 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 145-1103 1,259.64 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 152-1103 .78 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 155-1103 1,337.40 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 160-1103 12,501.83 PAYROLL 7/16-7/31/95 705-1103 2,854.08 407,864.25 4241 08/07/95 006660 CAMELOT TRAVEL SERVICES AIRLINE TICKETS/AMIRANI 001-4202-4317 342.78 342.78 4242 08/08/95 000026 PUB EMPLOYEES RETIRENEN RETIREMENT, 7/16-31/95 001-2101-4180 81.26 81.26 4243 08/09/95 005950 CALIFORNIA EMS AUTHORIT RE -CERTIFICATION, GARAGANO 001-2201-4317 125.00 125.00 4244 08/10/95 000243 HERMOSA BEACH PAYROLL A PAYROLL, 8/1-8/15/95 001-1103 7,117.54 7,117.54 4246 08/15/95 004928 COLEN & LEE AS AGENT FO LIABILITY CLAIMS, JULY 705-1209-4201 8,950.00 LIABILITY CLAIMS, JULY 705-1209-4324 1,270.73 SETTLEMENT, MYERS 705-1209-4324 1,621.28 SETTLEMENT, KALEM 705-1209-4324 554.63 12,396.64 4247 08/15/95 004268 TRACY YATES REFUND, SUMMER PROGRAM 001-4601-4201 30.00 30.00 4248 08/16/95 003261 LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CI REGISTRATION, BOWLER 001-1101-4317 240.00 240.00 4249 08/17/95 000243 HERMOSA BEACH PAYROLL A PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 001-1103 287,925.99 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 001-1103 7,117.54 - PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 105-1103 10,138.20 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 109-1103 678.49 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 110-1103 30,772.32 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 140-1103 84.17 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 145-1103 1,224.54 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 152-1103 72.09 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 155-1103 504.07 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 160-1103 10,282.39 PAYROLL, 8/1-15/95 705-1103 2,983.44 337,548.16 4250 08/24/95 000252 BEACH TRAVEL AIRFARE, ELLEDGE 001-2101-4317 104.00 104.00 4251 08/24/95 006565 G.H.

As she attempted to pass another bicyclist on the right. (she was unable to pass on the left due to oncoming traffic), she did not notice that the bike path and the driveway had a groove and a raised lip running along the driveway. As she attempted to proceed down the bike path her bicycle got caught in the groove/lip causing her to fall onto her right wrist and elbow. It appears that there was red paint on the curb which has worn off and she was unable to see this dangerous condition.

An estimated 5,000 participants spent last New Year's Eve in downtown Hermosa Beach. The festival and the friendly and safe atmosphere drew rave reviews and is still cited as one of the highlights of the past year. This performing arts festival on New Year's Eve is designed to benefit the community. FirstNIGHT® 96 is expected to bring at least twice as many visitors from a larger area of Los Angeles basin. In order to provide the safe and friendly atmosphere for the expected number of participants , Arts Hermosa is requesting from the city of Hermosa Beach permission to close Pier Avenue to all vehicular traffic from Valley Drive to Beach Drive- between hours of 2 PM on December 31 and 1 AM January 1, 1996. Arts Hermosa will provide adequate parking facilities outside Hermosa Beach with free shuttle service to all participants in FirstNIGHT®. Most downtown parking facilities will be available for the use of customers of downtown businesses. We request your signature in support of Arts Hermosa's proposed plan for FirstNIGHT® 96. This pedestrian atmosphere will bring a closer exposure to all the local businesses. Last year, ALL establishments in downtown reported a significant increase in business during the hours of the Festival. The Police reported no disturbances associated with the large volume of festival participants . We encourage you to keep your business open to become known to a large and new audience. To further benefit from the exposure FirstNIGHT® advertising can provide to your business we enclose a list of suggestions. If you have any questions please call us at (310) 318-3910.

The DEC's $5,000 grant was targeted to promotion of downtown Hermosa Beach and specifically to the presentation of an arts -related event. All post -event commentary suggests that DEC's goals were met: a large crowd was attracted; Hermosa Beach showed another facet to its visitors. Due to that success, we must prepare for a much larger crowd this year. Preparations advance; fundraising continues and is ahead of last year's pace. Due to expectations of that larger crowd, the budget is about double 1995's level. Arts Hermosa requests DEC's support this year at 1995's level: $5,000. In 1995, that amount was 11.2% of the $44,300 cash spent on FirstNIGHT. This year's budget is just over twice that amount, which would make DEC's $5,000 grant about 5.5% of the total. Arts Hermosa values the city's support and will publicize it in the same fashion as all other support. This public/private partnership is to develop greater awareness of alternative arts -related events in Hermosa Beach and to attract another demographic group. We believe we are succeeding at this goal and hope that the city fmds this partnership worthy of continued support.

The Ordinance mandates that all URM buildings within the City be strengthened or ordered vacated and demolished if building retro -fit is not completed within a prescribed schedule. The existing URM inventory is divided into five Risk Classifications, II, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC, and IV based upon the occupant load of the building. Owners of buildings in each classification are required to obtain permits and complete retrofit construction in different time spans between July 1, 1995 and January 1, 2002 according to the ordinance. Analysis The four buildings in Risk Classification II (occupant loads exceeding 300) were to have obtained building permits by July 1, 1995 and have all strengthening complete by January 1, 1996. Risk Classification IIIA buildings are those with occupant loads between 100 and 299 persons. This classification contains 24 buildings. Owners of these buildings were to have submitted strengthening plans to the Building Division by July 1, 1995, obtain a building permit by January 1, 1996 and complete all construction prior to January 1, 1997. Current Compliance Status Fifty buildings are currently identified on the City's inventory of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings. As of this date, nine buildings have completed construction or have been removed from the URM list for good cause, four buildings have permits issued and/or are under construction, ten buildings are currently in plan check or have building permits ready to issue, and 27 owners have taken no action toward abatement as of this date. Risk Classification II and IIIA owners of buildings who are not technically in compliance with the ordinance performance dates as of now have been notified via certified mail of their need to take immediate action. Therefore, the City is currently achieving a high rate of compliance under the adopted ordinance. Almost 50% of the impacted properties have completed seismic retro -fit projects or are in the process of completing such projects. No buildings have been demolished or restricted from use due to non-compliance and the City is maintaining the implementation schedule mandated under the seismic retro -fit Ordinance.

ALTERNATIVE Introduce the attached ordinance to amend the text as recommended by the City Council on August 8, 1995, as follows: To modify Finding No. 2 to require that an exception be granted only where the development is located between and adjacent to two or more lots built in excess of the 30' height limit. Background At the August 8, 1995, meeting the Council considered alternatives presented by staffto either amend the ordinance for more precision, or to eliminate the height limit exception. The Council specifically proposed that required finding #2 be amended to allow height exceptions only where the proposed development is located between and adjacent to two or more lot building in excess of the 30' height limit. The proposal included requiring an applicant for a height limit exception to provide the necessary. surveys of surrounding properties to justify the exception. The Planning Commission, at the public hearing August 15 considered the Council's proposal and, in response, recommended that it be reconsidered for the reasons as set forth in the attached memorandum. Analysis HEIGHT EXCEPTION MANDATORY FINDINGS In order to approve a height exception all of the following findings must be made: 1 1. An exception is necessary to take advantage of a scenic view over surrounding structures which are already constructed above thirty feet in height and said structures significantly obstruct the proposed project view. 2. A substantial number of existing buildings in the vicinity of the proposed project are already constructed to a height greater than thirty feet. 3. The structural extension above thirty feet will not adversely impact available views and access to sunlight and air of adjacent and surrounding properties. 4. If all of the above conditions are satisfied, the following design features shall also be considered by the Planning Commission: a) The style and pitch of the roof b) The mass and bulk of the proposed structure above 30 feet (in order to minimize bulk above the upper floor) c) The architectural appearance relative to type, style, and shape of the structure and proposed exterior materials The application and public hearing requirements for processing exceptions were set forth by Resolution 92-557 which stated that the applicant be responsible for "demonstrating consistency with the conditions of Section 601 or 701 by submitted the necessary development plans..." PROPOSED CHANGE • Modify the required finding No. 2 to read as follows: "The proposed development is located between, and adjacent to, two or more contiguous lots with buildings constructed in excess of the thirty (30) foot height limit" • Add language within the ordinance, under sub -section (c) so that it, reads as follows: "Application and public hearing requirements for processing exceptions to the height limit shall be in accordance with procedures established by the City Council. Applicants for exceptions shall provide detailed topographical surveys and spot elevations of existing buildings for determining if existing buildings on adjacent lots exceed 30'." Adoption of this proposed amendment to Finding #2 will add precision to the decision making process, and limit the applicability of the exception. It will significantly reduce the number of projects which qualify to meet the criteria for an exception. Based on staff's recent survey of all R-3 lots, only 20-30 lots are located between adjacent over -height buildings on both sides. The amendment will also eliminate the case by case judgment required for determining neighborhood compatibility which currently requires a determination of what is a "substantial" number of over 30 -foot buildings, and what is the appropriate "vicinity" to include in the comparison. 2 The ordinance, as proposed, would apply to all projects that do not have "vested rights" under State Law. In the past, when adopting new regulations, the Council has included a "grandfather" clause to make it clear that projects for which a complete application has been submitted are vested under the old rules, as long as the project is diligently pursued, as follows: SECTION . This ordinance shall not apply to any projects that have a complete building permit application package or a complete application for a land use entitlement on file with the city prior to September 26, 1995. Said application must include completed conceptual plans (plot plan, floor plan, elevation plans, etc.) and a lot survey. Projects that have submitted said complete applications must pursue their application in a diligent manner and obtain a building permit within 6 months of the effective date of this ordinance, or within 6 months of the effective date or receipt of final approval of land use entitlement if received after September 26, 1995 For further background and analysis please refer to the previous staff reports.

Condition number 2 of Sections 601 and 701 is intended to ensure compatibility with neighboring properties when an exception is granted but, as it is currently written, is not precise enough for the Commission or City Council to make such a decision on compatibility without appearing to be arbitrary. B. The condition for granting an exception should thus be limited to situations where two contiguous lots already have buildings which exceed 30 feet in height. C. The amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15061(b)3 of the CEQA guidelines, as the text amendment is to clarify and limit the applicability of the height limit exception, and thus there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, does hereby ordain that the Municipal Code, Appendix A, Zoning Ordinance, be amended as follows: SECTION 1. Amend the second condition of the height limit exception as contained in Section 601(b)2 and 701(b)2, to read as follows: 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 "The proposed development is located between, and adjacent to, two or more contiguous lots with buildings constructed in excess of the thirty (30) foot height limit" SECTION 2. Amend sub -section 601(c) and 701(c) to read as follows: "Application and public hearing requirements for processing exceptions to the height limit shall be in accordance with procedures established by the City Council. Applicants for exceptions shall provide detailed topographical surveys and spot elevations of existing buildings for determining if existing building on adjacent lots exceed 30'." SECTION 3. This ordinance shall become effective and be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days of its final passage and adoption. SECTION 4. Prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date of its adoption, the City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published in the Easy Reader, a weekly newspaper of general circulation published and circulated, in the City of Hermosa Beach, in the manner provided by law. SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance, shall enter the same in the book of original ordinances of said city, and shall make minutes of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council at which the same is passed and adopted. PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: , 1995, by the following vote: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 PRESIDENT of the City Council and MAYOR of the City of Hermosa Beach, California ATTEST: CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO FORM: kr/H:persht CITY ATTORNEY 3 MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council From: Hermosa Beach City Planning Commission Subject: Proposed Height Limit Exception Text Amendment Date: August 24, 1995 This memorandum is submitted to the Hermosa Beach City Council in connection with the proposed amendment to Sections 601 and 701 of the Zoning Ordinance. On August 22, 1995 the City Planning Commission reviewed the City Council recommendations relative to the subject amendment. The Commission has concerns about implementing the City Council recommended changes and,opposes amending the Height Limit Exception Ordinance as suggested for the following reasons: 1. Making exceptions only when the buildings on both sides of a proposed development are over 30 feet does not take into consideration building(s) to the front and/or west side of a proposed project which may be a barrier to having a view. 2. Having the suggested survey requirements will be onerous, a disincentive, and increase costs which seems contrary to the City Council's policies on development. (Added cost of approximately $1,000). 3. Limiting the Planning Commission's review to only projects as noted in #1 above removes discretion to do real planning and to look at situations on a block by block basis which was the original intent. 4. Allowance for architectural treatment in many potential cases will be "wiped out" and generate "boxy" development. 5. It will create a situation whereby developers will start searching for lots where they can build over 30 feet which will ultimately defeat theOrdinance and create an unnatural progression of development. 6. Allowing proposed development to exceed 30 feet where abutting development to both sides exists could result in view blockage to existing development to the rear or front of the proposed project. 7. There is a potential loss in future property value increase without quality architectural treatment which the current ordinance provides for, and the proposed ordinance does not. The Planning Commission believes that the proposed changes will place an unusual burden upon property owners and that the current regulations provide adequate controls relative to height limits in the City.

City Council Minutes 08-08-95 Page 8909 September 20, 1995 Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular meeting of the Hermosa Beach City Council September 26, 1995 Downtown Circulation and Parking Study - Contract for Consulting Services Recommendation: It is recommended that City Council: 1. To approve award of contract for the combined services of Korve Engineering and Walker Parking Consultants in the amount of $55,000. 2. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the contract subject to approval by the City Attorney. 3. Authorize the Director of Community Development to accept the project as complete on behalf of the City Council, upon completion of work. 4. Authorize the expenditure of funds the amount of $55,000 from CIP 160 Downtown Plan. 5. Authorize the Director of Community Development to make minor changes as necessary within budget. Background: The Downtown Implementation Plan calls for improvements and enhancements to the public street and sidewalk, including modifying the segment of Pier Avenue between Valley Drive and Hermosa Avenue to one -lane of traffic each way, and widening the sidewalk; and modifying the segment of Pier Avenue between Hermosa Avenue and the Strand to one-way traffic going west and widening of the sidewalks. The traffic flow at the western end of Pier Avenue will be directed either north or south along Beach Drive to the public parking lots or to 13th Street or 11th Street. Enhancements along the street will include new landscaping, paving, lighting, and street furniture. In addition to the public improvements described above, the revitalization program for downtown includes the potential development of a multiple level parking structure and/or structures on existing surface public parking lots. Development of a theater complex and a Hotel are being considered as well as other private projects in the area north of Pier Avenue. The City needs a qualified consultant to examine local traffic and parking impacts if some or all of these projects are implemented and to make recommendations for any other improvements or changes to circulation that may be necessary . These analyses are needed to complete the environmental documentation for the Downtown Implementation Plan to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and to help make informed decisions relative to other potential projects in the downtown. The study will also evaluate parking pricing and parking control measures to maximize the efficient use of parking in the downtown area. Analysis: On July 31, 1995 the City sent out Requests For Proposals (copy attached) to selected engineering firms with capabilities to handle both circulation and parking analysis. Five proposals were received with the following total costs: Barton Aschman Associates $66,397 Austin -Foust Associates $20,240 Korve Engineers $44,880 Meyer Mohaddes Associates, w/1131 Consultants $44,550 Walker Parking Consultants $46,900 The five proposals were evaluated by a selection committee consisting of members of the Community Development Department, Public Works Department, Community Resources Department, and the Fire Department. Four of the five consulting firms, with the exception of Austin -Foust, were invited to an oral interview to further assess their qualifications. The selection committee decided to combine the proposals from two of the consultants based on the interviews. Walker Parking Consultants showed superior experience and.expertise in parking analysis, including parking pricing and control measures for downtown areas, and the ability to evaluate the need and financial feasibility of parking structures. These strengths were not evident in any of the other proposals. However, their circulation analysis was lacking in both completeness and the experience of the assigned personnel. Korve Engineering showed the most strength in traffic circulation analysis combining the ability to collect the appropriate level of technical data and the ability to find creative solutions based on their interpretation of that data. The two selected firms agreed to submit a joint proposal, with Korve as the lead. The total cost is higher because a each firm assigned more man hours and thus a higher projected cost in their areas of strength. The product will allow the City to move ahead more quickly into the implementation stage of the Downtown Plan. Fiscal Impact: The consulting services will require a $55,000 expenditure from CIP 160, Downtown Plan; CIP 160 has a total appropriation of $289,730. Since this study is necessary to complete the environmental documentation for Downtown Improvement Plan and to guide future decisions for downtown development this is an appropriate use of a portion of these funds.

Burrell City Ma ager �Korve Ilk Engineering Mr. Sol Blumenfeld, Director Community Development Department 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254-3885 RE: Hermosa Beach Downtown Circulation and Parking Study Dear Mr. Blumenfeld: September 19, 1995 Pursuant to our telephone conversations today with yourself and Walker Parking Consultants/Engineers, Inc. (Walker), we have worked out an arrangement whereby we will lead the effort for the City of Hermosa and Walker will support us on the parking aspects of the study. As we discussed, the parking and traffic issues are interrelated especially with respect to access arrangements to the existing and proposed parking structures and lots on either side of Pier Avenue. Because many of the parking issues have significant circulation elements and cannot readily be separated, we have retained some KORVE time for some of the parking tasks so we can provide traffic/circulation support to Walker in these areas. Walker's strengths clearly lie in parking supply, demand and design while ours are in the traffic, circulation and the overall management of street users within the Downtown area. Thus, we have tailored our proposal to take, advantage of these strengths. The circulation and traffic elements of the study, including parking circulation support to Walker are estimated at $27,000. This includes $3,000 for traffic counts at the study intersections. It should be noted that KORVE has dropped Nate!son from our scope given that Walker will now be undertaking the economic evaluation of the changes in parking rates. The total budget for Walker will be $28,000, thus, the total project budget will be $55,000. A revised scope of services and cost breakdown for the study are attached. We are very excited at the prospect of beginning this work and helping you transform the downtown area of Hermosa Beach. We understand the need.for starting the study as quickly and can assure you that our staff are currently available to begin this effort. In keeping with your intention to begin this effort as soon as possible, we would like to schedule a meeting with you on the morning of Tuesday September 26, 1995 to take advantage of the presence of Walker staff in the L.A. area. Please let me know if this is acceptable. Please call if you have any questions. Sincerely, KORVE ENGINEERING, INC. John S.

San Jose 818-568-9560 Fax San Bernardino Revised Proposal Hermosa Beach Downtown Circulation and Parking Initial Study 1.0 Introduction Summary of Qualifications Korve Engineering, Inc. (KORVE) is pleased to present this revised scope of services to address the Downtown Circulation and Parking Study in association with Walker Parking Consultants/Engineers Inc. (Walker). KORVE has extensive experience in the preparation of downtown parking and circulation studies. As well as a reputation for developing innovative solutions to complex technical problems. Projects of relevance to this proposal include: SR 111 Corridor Study included operations analysis involving existing and future service level analyses, transit service review, pedestrian and bicycle safety review and an evaluation of cross street operations. The concept plan analyzed provided recessed parking bays and transit stop areas and limited access from certain minor cross streets. A subsequent task involved the development of a conceptual alignment along Highway 111 between Cathedral Canyon and Date Palm in conjunction with the City's Downtown Revitalization Plan. Venice Renaissance Shared Parking Study which focused on parking spaces shared between retail and commercial uses, public beach parking, and a proposed ne gym. Sherman Oaks Galleria Theater Expansion Traffic Study which assessed the traffic and parking impacts of a proposed movie theater complex in the Sherman Oaks Galleria. The potential for shared use of available parking for theater patrons and other Galleria users was determined. Glendale Fashion Center Traffic Study assessed the impact on the surrounding streets of a proposed redevelopment of an existing commercial block to include a theater and other major retailers. The study considered loading access requirements, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, effects of possible one-way roads around the site and a range of mitigation measures to offset impacts to intersections. Advantages of Korve Engineering, Inc. include our staff's expertise in conducting parking surveys and evaluating parking conditions, in evaluating and recommending solutions to congestion and pedestrian circulation problems. In particular, our staff is highly skilled in the preparation of circulation studies and specific plans and producing multimodal solutions which include an awareness of pedestrian and bicycle traffic needs as well as automobile and truck issues. Understanding of the Project Hermosa Beach is a vibrant resort community located near Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach along the Pacific Ocean. It benefits from being a major attraction as a beach city and as a consequence has particular challenges related to traffic access and circulation associated with the Korve Engineering, Inc. 1 September 19, 1995 attraction of visitors to the waterfront pier, shops and restaurants along Pier Avenue and Hermosa Boulevard. In particular, the live music restaurants and the Comedy and Magic club attract diverse groups of people on busy summer weekends. Parking appears to be in ample supply during regular weekday business hours when typical activity is confined to local shopping and entertainment. Weekends and evenings, however, pose a different problem with the influx of a large number of cars coming to the area. In addition, the use of Hermosa Avenue as a parallel route to the Pacific Coast Highway in order to access Redondo and Manhattan Beaches poses significant circulation and congestion problems. The reconfiguration of Pier Avenue and related changes to the parking supply in the area can have a very beneficial impact upon local area businesses and area residents by: • Channeling traffic to those areas with the greatest parking supply thereby making the search for parking more convenient; • providing a rational parking access scheme thereby reducing vehicles circulating while looking for parking; • removing the incentives for commercial parking infringing upon residential areas, and; • expanding the revenue stream which can them be reinvested in making the area more pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Each of the above goals will be considered in the preparation of this study effort. The key will be to tailor the best mix of parking and traffic improvements to achieve a balance between parking and access needs and allowing for the expanded presence of pedestrians that will help to make Hermosa Beach an even more alluring destination. The tools at our disposal include the manipulation of street space, traffic controls, parking supply and pricing to achieve the right balance of space for parking, vehicular and pedestrian travel. 2.0 Technical Proposal The following scope of services addresses the two categories outlined in the Request for Proposal. A. Traffic and Circulation B. Parking Support The task sections describe KORVE's approach to each task. The overall level of effort assumed is based on our best understanding of the project to date. This may be refined further after consultation with City staff prior to the commencement of the work. It is understood that KORVE will be the prime consultant in this study and Walker Parking Consultants/Engineers (Walker) will be the sub -consultant. To this end, KORVE will ensure that the parking analysis undertaken by Walker will be incorporated into the Traffic and Circulation study so that the City receives an integrated and coordinated report. Korve Engineering, Inc. 2 September 19, 1995 A. Traffic and Circulation Korve will provide analysis and recommendations relative to intersection capacity, turning movements, right-of-way and roadway widths, roadway transition requirements, traffic controls and other circulation improvements in the entire downtown area. Task Al Analysis of Existing Trip Making Patterns and Counts KORVE will inventory all existing traffic counts available from the City and will determine which, if any, intersections require additional traffic counts. KORVE will discuss these additional counts with the City and can arrange to have these counted if required at a cost of about $250 per intersection for AM and PM peak hour turning movement count. KORVE will also analyze data from the City where available and/or recently completed traffic studies for the downtown area to determine the major origin and destination points for peak hour trip making as well as reasonable distributions for this downtown and through traffic. Task A2 Existing Roadway System Traffic Impact Analysis KORVE will undertake a field review of the following specific roadway sections and intersections: • Pier Avenue and Valley Drive, Hermosa Avenue and Beach Drive • Pier AvenueNalley Drive and Ardmore Avenue intersections. In the case of the intersection of Pier Avenue with Valley Drive, Hermosa Avenue and Beach Drive the field review will determine the appropriate transitions given availability of right of way and lane/parking requirements. An AutoCAD drawing will be provided based upon a base plan in AutoCAD to be provided by the City. If one is not available, KORVE staff can prepare such a plan, but this has not been assumed in the cost proposal. KORVE will work closely with City staff to ensure a coordinated signing and striping plan is prepared which fully meets City requirements. The intersection of Pier AvenueNalley Drive and Ardmore Avenue will be evaluated both on site and using signal warrant analysis software to determine if the installation of traffic signals is warranted for this location as a mitigation measure. Task A3 Traffic and Pedestrian Circulation on Lower Pier Avenue Korve will evaluate the impact upon pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and intersection operating conditions at study intersections on Lower Pier Avenue as a result of a potential conversion to one-way traffic flow. This analysis will be linked to an evaluation of the introduction of diagonal parking along the street. It is proposed that a manual reassignment of the traffic volumes will be undertaken to simulate conditions with the one-way street in place. (Note: Task A5 will extend the analysis outwards from Lower Pier Avenue to evaluate the affects of the conversion to one-way operation on 11th, 13th, and 14th Street specifically at their intersections with both Beach Boulevard and Hermosa Boulevard). Since no traffic model is available, KORVE will work with the City to develop reasonable growth factors to develop the future base intersection turning movements. This may be as simple as Korve Engineering, Inc. 3 September 19, 1995 applying a one percent growth factor to all movements, or may involve a more complex set of factors to reflect the City's anticipated growth patterns. A set of future base intersection LOS calculations would then be developed for comparison with the existing LOS. This analysis will be undertaken on the TRAFFIX software. The future base volumes would then be manually reassigned to the network to take account of proposed one-way traffic flow on Lower Pier Avenue. This approach has been used successfully on other studies where conversion to one-way operation has been considered. The resultant LOS and V/C ratios will be compared with the "Do Nothing" scenario to determine the impacts and requisite mitigation measures. A qualitative evaluation of pedestrian impacts will be presented and recommendations will be made relating to enhancing pedestrian safety on this roadway segment. Task A4 Lane Reduction on Upper Pier Avenue This analysis would involve evaluating the impact on the operating conditions on this roadway segment if a lane is removed in each direction. A set of revised intersection LOS and V/C calculations would be developed to assess the impact of the strategy. Tables will be developed to demonstrate the With and Without Lane Reduction impacts. Where significant impacts are shown to result from the strategy, a set of mitigation measures will be developed to ameliorate the impacts. Task A-5 Area Wide Impact Analysis This task would extend the focused impact analysis undertaken in Tasks A3 and A4 to other study intersections of importance to the overall evaluation. The total recommended intersection analysis list would be as follows: Pier Avenue/Ardmore Avenue Pier AvenueNalley Drive Pier Avenue/Monterey Boulevard Pier Avenue/Manhattan Avenue Pier Avenue/Hermosa Avenue • Pier Avenue/Beach Drive • Beach Drive/11th Street • Beach Drive/13th Street • Beach Drive/14th Street • Hermosa Avenue/11th Street • Hermosa Avenue/13th Street • Hermosa Avenue/14th Street As a practical measure, this task would be undertaken concurrently with the earlier two tasks. The purpose of this analysis will be to obtain a baseline evaluation of the general traffic operating standards within the study area against which to compare the various alternatives discussed earlier. The alternatives in this areawide traffic impact analysis can be summarized as follows: 1. Existing Conditions 2. Future Base 3. Alternative 1 - Future with One -Way Operation on Lower Pier Avenue Korve Engineering, Inc. 4 September 19, 1995 4. Alternative 2 - Future with One -Way Operation on Lower Pier and Lane Reduction on Upper Pier Avenue This will primarily be reported in terms of levels of service (LOS) and Volume/Capacity ratios (V/C) for the study intersections. Mitigation measures will be proposed where necessary for all the alternatives. The impact analysis will demonstrate in tabular and graphical form the change in the intersection traffic volumes resulting from the various alternatives. A tabular comparison of before and after V/C ratios and levels of service at the study intersections will also be provided. Task A-6 Traffic Impacts of Proposed Parking Structure, Movie Theater and Hotels This task will evaluate the impacts of the proposed parking structure, theater and hotel development on the study intersections. This analysis will require three new alternatives to be evaluated as follows: 1. Alternative 3 - Future with New Development on Existing Network 2. Alternative 4 - Future with New Development with One -Way Operation on Lower Pier t _ Avenue 3. Alternative 5 - Future with New Development with One -Way Operation on Lower Pier Avenue and lane reduction on Upper Pier Avenue LOS and V/C calculations will be provided to. show the With and Without affects of the developments. Particular attention will be devoted to access arrangements - especially for the parking structure, and the impact this would have on the roadway circulation. Where adverse impacts are demonstrated as a result of the traffic analysis, KORVE will propose a set of mitigation measures to minimize or eliminate these impacts. The proposed mitigation measures may include intersection restriping or widening, signal optimization, improved signing, and possible signalized crossing facilities for pedestrian activity. Task A-7 Commercial Loading Zones KORVE has experience in the design and placement of loading zones for commercial activities. Factors such as noise and access are of vital concern for the placement of these facilities. In. addition loading time periods should be carefully considered to assess the impact of truck traffic on the peak and off peak circulation system. The goal will be to suggest designs and locations for commercial loading zones which minimize the impact of the trucks on the general roadway circulation system. KORVE will provide sketch layouts showing truck turning movement radii to scale so that the specific access arrangements can be evaluated and improvements suggested where necessary. It may become necessary to coordinate closely with the developers when modifications are required in the site layout to minimize traffic circulation impacts. It is anticipated that this coordination will be undertaken through the City, although KORVE can engage in direct discussions with the developer if desired. It is assumed that site plans and, where necessary, roadway plans will already be available from the City and/or developers. The preparation of such base plans is not included in this proposal. Korve Engineering, Inc. 5 September 19, 1995 Parking KORVE will provide technical support to Walker Parking Consultant/Engineers Inc.(Walker) in those aspects of the parking evaluation study as proposed by Walker which require circulation assessment. Our cost proposal attached shows where we think this support will be needed. This is primarily in Tasks B3 - Effects on Demand of New Structure and New Development, and B4 - Parking Intrusion into Residential Areas. We have also budgeted some support for Task B6 - Parking Control Measures. The work plan proposed by Walker is attached as an Appendix to this proposal and shows the task breakdown as well as an organization chart and Manhour Projection chart. Work Products The following specific work products will be produced as a result of the tasks described above as they relate to Circulation. Relevant parking sections will be provided by Walker: 1. Report and recommendations for inclusion in the City's environmental assessment of the Downtown Implementation Plan. It is not assumed that this product will form a specific traffic section for an EIR or that there will be any response to comments or attendance at meetings or public hearings related to an EIR. The analysis is assumed to be a technical resource for the City in its preparation of environmental documentation for the Downtown Implementation Plan. 2. Identification of traffic mitigation measures to reduce adverse impacts in the study area. This will include 40 scale mitigation drawings completed on AutoCAD. It is assumed that KORVE will make use of base plans to be provided by the City. 3. Report and recommendations for incorporation into environmental assessments of the proposed parking structure, hotel and movie developments. It is not assumed that this element of the scope will form a specific traffic section for an EIR or that there will be any response to comments or attendance at meetings or public hearings related to an EIR. 4. Parking and pricing study with parking rates, duration limits, districts, and specifics of validation and/or permit programs. (To be completed by Walker and incorporated into the Circulation Study text for inclusion in the environmental process). Please see Walker's detailed scope of services. Statement of Staff Availability KORVE fully understands that to be selected for this assignment, they must demonstrate an ability and commitment to perform in the best interests of the City of Hermosa Beach. They guarantee that the project manager and the staff will be available to meet the obligations of the project study and complete the work in the required time.

The plan, prepared by IBI Group Consultants, calls for improvements and enhancements to the public street and sidewalk, including modifying the segment of Pier Avenue between Valley Drive and Hermosa Avenue to one -lane of traffic each way, and widening the sidewalk; and modifying the segment of Pier Avenue between Hermosa Avenue and the Strand to one-way traffic going west and widening of the sidewalks. The traffic flow at the western end of Pier Avenue will be directed either north or south along Beach Drive to the public parking lots or to 13th Street or 1 lth Street. Enhancements along the street will include new landscaping, paving, lighting, and street furniture. Plans which summarize the proposed improvements are attached. Details of the project are set forth in the "Downtown Implementation Plan" prepared by IBI Consultants, available in the Community Development Department In addition to the public improvements described above, the revitalization program for downtown includes the potential development of a multiple level parking structure and/or structures on existing surface public parking lots. Development of a theater complex and a Hotel are being considered as well as other private projects in the area north of Pier Avenue, as shown in the attached development project map / aerial photo. The City is seeking qualified consultants to examine local traffic and parking impacts if some or all of these projects are implemented and, also, seeking informed recommendations for any other improvements or changes to circulation that may be necessary . The City's need for these analyses is to obtain the necessary technical data to complete our environmental documentation for the Downtown Implementation Plan, and to help us make informed decisions relative to other potential projects in the downtown. (See Downtown Improvement Project timeline as reference for project submittals and completion times) PURPOSE 1. To evaluate the Downtown Implementation Plan circulation and parking recommendations and determine if there are significant impacts which can be mitigated to less than significant levels. 2. To evaluate downtown circulation and parking relative to the potential development of a parking structure, hotel, and movie theater. 3. To provide parking and circulation recommendations based upon evaluation of existing and potential development. SCOPE The work effort is divided into two categories: A. Traffic/Circulation B. Parking A. Traffic/Circulation Provide analysis and recommendations relative to intersection capacity, turning movements, right-of-way and roadway widths, roadway transition requirements, traffic controls, and other circulation improvements in the entire downtown area, specifically including the following: 1. Examine origin, destination, and distribution of trips. Study available traffic counts and determine if additional counts are necessary. 2. Examine the proposed Pier Avenue transition requirements at Valley Drive, Hermosa Avenue and Beach Drive, and examine whether a stop -light at Pier Avenue/Valley Drive and Ardmore Avenue intersection is a needed mitigation measure. 3. Examine auto traffic and pedestrian circulation on Lower Pier Avenue with respect to proposed one-way traffic flow and proposed diagonal parking. 4. Examine traffic flows on Upper Pier Avenue with respect to the reduction of two lanes each way to one lane each way, and examine the impacts on area traffic circulation 5. Examine the potential circulation impacts and levels of service on Pier Avenue/Hermosa Avenue and Beach Drive, 11th, 13th, 14th and 15th Streets. 6. Examine area road capacity and circulation impacts with respect to the proposed parking structure(s), movie theater and hotel uses. 7. Identify locations for commercial loading zones. B. Parking Provide parking analysis and recommendations to supplement the IBI parking analysis and recommendations (attached) with respect to overall demand and supply; and provide specific recommendations for parking control measures (i.e. permits, signs, time limits, rates) for on -street parking, City owned parking lots, and proposed parking structure(s); specifically including the following: 1. Identify locations for tour bus and MTA bus and taxi pick-up and drop-off areas, and for long term parking for tour buses. 2. Examine the effects, if any, on parking demand that would be caused by increasing parking meter rates as propose in the Downtown Implementation Plan. 3. Examine the effects on parking demand resulting from the parking structure and the parking structure and .on -street parking demand resulting from the hotel and theater projects. 4. Examine whether proposed parking facilities will help reduce business parking intrusion into residential areas between 10th and 16th Street. Provide recommended control measures for reducing this intrusion. 5. Provide the interim parking study, pursuant to the requirements of the Coastal . Commission, identifying peak occupancy of parking spaces in the downtown area during daylight hours on three typical summer weekends. 6. Provide recommendations for parking control measures (pricing, time limits, permits, validation program, meters, etc.) to maximize parking efficiency and availability for downtown businesses, taking into consideration competing demands for beach parking. PRODUCTS 1. Report and recommendations to be incorporated into the City's environmental assessment of the Downtown Implementation Plan. (See Downtown Improvement Project tentative schedule) 2. Identification of traffic mitigation measures as required to reduce significant adverse 1. impacts. Mitigation measures must include all available measures such as one-way streets, reversible lanes, diversion of traffic to other streets, not just widening of streets. (See Downtown Improvement Project tentative schedule) 3 Report and recommendations that can be incorporated in environmental assessments of potential parking structure, hotel and movie theater developments. City reserves the right to contract for specific items noted above. 4. Parking pricing study with parking rates, duration limits, districts, and specifics of validation and/or permit programs.

Preliminary proposals for parking structure, hotel, theaters September 19, 1995 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of September 26, 1995 ABC LICENSING PROCESS Purpose: To provide information on the new ABC licensing process and the role that the legislation delegates to the City. Background: A new approval process for the issuance of ABC licenses has been implemented this year. The new legislation has created two general categories on how new licenses are processed. The first category includes "non -retail licenses, bona fide eating place licenses, certain hotel, motel or specified lodging establishments and retail licenses issued in conjunction with a beer manufacturing or winegrower's license, if the applicant shows that public convenience or necessity would be served, a license may be issued by the Department." In this first category, the City does not make a determination of public convenience and necessity. The City could protest the license, however, since all ABC licenses go through the City CUP process, if the City does not want a license in this category, it would simply deny the CUP. It would be a good idea to explain this CUP process in a letter to the regional ABC office so that they are aware of the review that takes place at the City. The second category is all other retail licenses which includes "all other off -sale beer and wine licenses, off -sale general licenses and all other on -sale licenses." In this category, "the determination of whether or not public convenience and necessity is met will be determined by the local governing body of the City." This means that if the City Council determines that the proposed license would meet the public convenience and necessity then the ABC would process the application and, assuming the other requirements are fulfilled, then a license could be issued. If the City Council does not make the finding then ABC would reject the license application. The attached material goes into some further detail about this new process. Since this process began, there have not been any applications that would have required the City Council to make a determination of "public convenience and necessity." 1 In the event that an application is filed that would be referred to the City for a determination of the public convenience and necessity, it would seem reasonable to have the process set up. As it stands now, ABC would only accept such a determination from the City Council. This could be delegated to the Planning Commission if you wish. If the City Council is interested in such a delegation, a letter would need to be filed with ABC and they would then accept the Planning Commission determination. Recommendation: File a letter with ABC that explains the City's process concerning all ABC licenses and that the City Council will make any "public convenience and necessity" determinations.

[Approved by Governor September 19, 1994. Filed with Secretary of State September 20, 1994.1 LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2897, Caldera. Alcoholic beverages: retail licenses: undue concentration. Existing law provides that the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control may deny an application for a license if the issuance would, among other things, result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses, and the applicant fails to show that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance. Existing regulatory law defines "undue concentration" with regard to applications for on -sale and off -sale retail licenses. This bill would instead require the Departrnent of Alcoholic Beverage Control to deny an application if issuance would tend to create a law enforcement problem, or would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses. The bill would change the definition of undue concentration, and would provide that, notwithstanding the requirement that the department deny an application that would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses, a license may be issued with respect to a nonretail license, a retail on -sale bona fide eating place license, a retail license issued for a hotel, motel, or other lodging establishment, as defined, a retail license issued in conjunction with a beer manufacturer's license, or a winegrower's license, if the applicant shows that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance, and with respect to any other license, if the local governing body of the area in which the applicant premises are located determines that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. Section 23958 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read: 23958. Upon receipt of an application for a license or for a transfer of a license and the applicable fee, the department shall make a thorough investigation to determine whether the applicant and the premises for which a license is applied qualify for a license and whether the provisions of this division have been complied with, and shall investigate all matters connected therewith which may affect the public welfare and morals. The department shall deny an 94 110 Ch. 630 —2— application for a license or for a transfer of a license if either the applicant or the premises for which a license is applied do not qualify for a license under this division. The department further shall deny an application for a license if issuance of that license would tend to create a law enforcement problem, or if issuance would result in or add to an undue concentration of licenses, except as provided in Section 23958.4. SEC. 2. Section 23958.4 is added to the Business and Professions Code, to read: 23958.4. (a) For purposes of Section 23958, "undue concentration" means the applicant premises for an original or premises -to -premises transfer of any retail license are located in an area where any of the following conditions exist: (1) The applicant premises are located in a crime reporting district that has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes, as defined in subdivision (c), than the average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting districts within the jurisdiction of the local law enforcement agency. (2) As to on -sale retail license applications, the ratio of on -sale retail licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the applicant premises are located exceeds the ratio of on -sale retail licenses to population in the county in which the applicant premises are located. (3) As to off -sale retail license applications, the ratio of off -sale retail licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the applicant premises are located exceeds the ratio of off -sale retail licenses to population in the county in which the applicant premises are located. (b) Notwithstanding Section 23958, the department may issue a license as follows: ' (1) With respect to a nonretail license, a retail on -sale bona fide eating place license, a retail license issued for a hotel, motel, or other lodging establishment, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 25503.16, a retail license issued in conjunction with a beer manufacturer's license, or a winegrower's license, if the applicant shows that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance. (2) With respect to any other license, if the local governing body of the area in which the applicant premises are located determines that public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance. (c) For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Reporting districts" means geographical areas within the boundaries of a single governmental entity (city or the unincorporated area of a county) , that are identified by the local law enforcement agency in the compilation and maintenance of statistical information on reported crimes and arrests. 94 140 3 — 3 — Ch. 630 (2) "Reported crimes" means the most recent yearly compilation by the local law enforcement agency of reported offenses of criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. (3) "Population within the census tract or census division" means the population as determined by the most recent United States decennial or special census. The population determination shall not operate to prevent an applicant from establishing that an increase of resident population has occurred within the census tract or census division. (4) "Population in the county" shall be determined by the annual population estimate for California counties published by the Population Research Unit of the Department of Finance. (5) "Retail licenses" shall include the following: (A) Off -sale retail licenses: Type 20 (off -sale beer and wine) and Type 21 (off -sale general) . (B) On -sale retail licenses: All retail on -sale licenses, except Type 43 (on -sale beer and wine for train), Type 44 (on -sale beer and wine for fishing party boat) , Type 45 (on -sale beer and wine for boat) , Type 46 (on -sale beer and wine for airplane), Type 53 (on -sale general for train and sleeping car) , Type 54 (on -sale general for boat), Type 35 (on -sale general for airplane), T e 56 (on -sale general for vessels of more than 1,000 tons burden), and Type 62 (on -sale general bona fide public eating place intermittent dockside license for vessels of more than 15,000 tons displacement) . (6) A "premises to premises transfer" refers to each license being separate and distinct and transferable upon approval of the department. (d) For purposes of this section, the number of retail licenses in the county shall be determined by the most recent yearly retail license count published by the department in its Procedure Manual. (e) The enactment of this section shall not affect any existing rights of any holder of a retail license issued prior to April 29, 1992, whose premises were destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of the civil disturbances occurring in Los Angeles from April 29 to May 2, 1992, to reopen and operate those licensed premises. (f) This section shall not apply where the premises have been licensed and operated with the same type license within 90 days of the application. O 94 160 1 September 13, 1995 Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of September 26, 1995 REQUEST FROM CITY OF COVINA TO SUPPORT A RESOLUTION TO REDISTRIBUTE 1% OF THE STATE TAX TO CTTIES Recommendation: To take a similar position when this item is voted on at the League of California Cities Annual Business Meeting. Background: The City of Covina has provided a great deal of information supporting the position that the Cities should receive this additional revenue. The impact on Hermosa Beach if this was done would be to increase our sales tax from $1,500,000 to $3,000,000. The information provided also discusses the impact of the existing 1/20 sales tax that is designated for law enforcement. If the City received the 1/2¢ direct, it would be around $750,000. The amount that we receive after it is distributed by the County is about $118,000. This sort of change would be an uphill battle and other measures have been discussed in the past that are similar. It is important to keep making the City's point that all cities have suffered greatly and general fund revenue that can be used for all City operations is very important. Respectfully submitted, Stephen R. Burrell City Manager August 31, 1995 CITY OF COVINA 125 East College Street • Covina, California 91723-2199 Mr. Stephen Burrell City Manager City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Dear Mr. Burrell: RECEIVED SEP 0 6 1995 CITY MGR. OFFICE We are writing you to request the City of Hermosa Beach's support for the attached resolution which was adopted by the Los Angeles Division of the League of California Cities on August 3, 1995. As you are aware, Division -sponsored resolutions are beinglorwarded to the League's General Resolutions Committee on October 23, 1995, and then to the General Assembly on October 24, 1995. The subject resolution seeks to redistribute 1% sales tax from the State to cities. The State currently gets 5% and cities get 1% of the sales taxes paid on each dollar throughout California. The resolution directs the League to initiatelegislative actions, either through the State legislature or through a ballot initiative, to change the percentage split to 4% for the State and 2% to cities. If the shift in sales taxes is accomplished, it would mean that the amount of sales taxes cities now receive would double. In essence, the resolution seeks to shift money from the State to cities using an existing tax mechanism and an existing allocation method. The resolution is relatively simple and in "terms of complexity" stands in sharp contrast to a number of efforts underway on government restructuring, constitutional revision, and modification of the taxation system. Consequently, the proposed resolution should not be compared to these activities. The issue for this resolution is not the structure of government, the constitution, or the taxation system -- it is how much money different agencies receive. We believe cities and counties are getting a disproportionately small share of available revenues. For example, the City of Covina, located in eastern Los Angeles County with a population of 44,000, will receive about $19.8 million in general fund revenue during this next fiscal year from over a dozen sources, including an 8.25% utility users tax. Of this total, sales tax revenue is about $5.7 million. The State will get five times this amount or about $28.5 million — all from Covina transactions. The amount of sales tax revenue going to the State exceeds the City's total general fund revenue from over a dozen sources! And while Covina's budget has been reduced in recent years like a number of other cities and counties throughout California, the State's budget continues to increase, from $53.083 billion in fiscal year 1993-1994 to $57.508 billion in fiscal year 1995-1996, an increase of 8.3%. Page 2 of 2. As most city administrators throughout California know, part of the problem here is that property tax revenue and other funds have been lost due to State takeaways. A recent Los Angeles Times article put the amount of property tax revenue taken away by the State at $3.9 billion. Although many would agree that schools need more funding, it is unlikely that many would agree it should be taken out of the pockets of cities and counties since we have been heavily impacted by numerous State and Federal mandates as well as increased demands for Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Development, Parks and Recreation, and Library services amid continuing recession in many parts of the state. Adding to the plight and dismay of cities is the outcome of Proposition 172. Proposition 172 was approved by voters in November 1993 and increased statewide sales taxes a half percent to augment public safety funding, funding for police and fire services, for example. While it appeared that this measure would offset losses in property tax revenue, most cities only receive a small fraction of the money collected from this Proposition due to the formula used to apportion these funds. For example, Los Angeles County received $370 million so far for 1994- 1995 from Proposition 172, yet has allocated only about $35 million to cities in Los Angeles County, less than 10% of the revenues. Of the funds allocated to cities, Covina received $213,000, an amount far less than a half percent sales tax. If these funds were allocated using the formula used to allocate other sales tax revenues, Covina would have received over $2.5 million. We all know what is at stake regarding the financing of local government services. The true impacts of the recession and the need for increased government revenues have been pushed down to the local level by the State. To save many essential services that are now being threatened, we need to form a unified voice to effect the same changes at the State level that we have been forced to make as cities and counties. Through this resolution we are seeking a shift of an estimated $2.8 billion from the State to cities and counties. This amounts to less than a 5% cut in the State's fiscal year 1995-1996 budget. This is not an unreasonable reduction considering the kinds of drastic cuts being made this year by many cities and counties throughout California. We are not seeking a battle with the State over revenue. We simply feel that many local services that are now being jeopardized represent a higher taxpayer priority (e.g., Police and Fire) than other services provided by the State. This is the issue we wish to bring forward with this resolution. We ask that your City Council adopt the attached supporting resolution and either FAX it or mail it to the City of Covina by October 18, 1995. FAX to Covina's City Manager, Mr. Fran Delach at 818/858-5556, or mail it to him at 125 E. College Street, Covina, CA 91723. Following receipt of your supporting resolution, Covina will mail you a lapel pin that is now being produced to promote this effort. If you have any questions about this resolution feel free to call either of us at 818/858-7212. Thank you, TMO'L/FMD:CAK iff/441:11Francis M. DcWIL"` City Manager RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SUPPORTING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES' RESOLUTION ON SALES TAX REDISTRIBUTION TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY CITIES TO 2%. WHEREAS, the State receives five times as much sales tax revenue as cities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the sales tax revenue retained by the State from individual cities often exceeds the general fund budgets of those cities where the sales tax revenue originates; and WHEREAS, cities provide services that directly benefit the quality of life in hundreds of communities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the public benefits of cities' services include the maintenance of property values, reduced risk to health and safety caused by crime, fires, medical emergencies, poor sanitation, and poor building and road construction; and WHEREAS, cities' services provide important cultural and economic benefits through parks and recreation programs, library and senior programs, removal of blight from inner cities and older neighborhoods, and through business attraction efforts that provide jobs; and WHEREAS, the State has acted to reduce the amount of revenue received by cities in recent years forcing many cities throughout California to augment their revenues by imposing local assessments, fees, or taxes — or to make cuts in essential services; and WHEREAS, because cities receive only a small fraction of the money collected through voter -approved Proposition 172 (Public Safety Augmentation Fund), public safety services like police and fire services face drastic financial reductions in many cities throughout California in light of State takeaways and State -imposed mandates; and WHEREAS, many taxpayers object to paying additional taxes for what they view as diminishing local services caused by these factors, especially while the demand for police services, for example, continues to increase due to rising crime; and WHEREAS, on August 3, 1995, the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities adopted a resolution which seeks legislative action that would result in a more equitable distribution of sales tax revenue by shifting 1% sales tax revenue from the State to cities; and WHEREAS, the League's resolution will help cities provide essential local services without adding more burden to taxpayers; and WHEREAS, on October 24, 1995, the General Assembly of the League of California Cities will vote on this important resolution; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF that the City of does hereby support the League of California Cities' resolution to Redistribute Sales Taxes so that the total received by cities is 2% of the amount paid per dollar on taxable sales. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this day of 1995. ATTEST: Mayor City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: City Attorney ADOPTED RESOLUTION OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY DIVISION OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES --ADOPTED AUGUST 3, 1995 -- RESOLUTION TO REDISTRIBUTE SALES TAXES WHEREAS, cities throughout California receive 1% of the sales taxes paid on each dollar within their jurisdictions; and WHEREAS, the State receives 5% of the sales taxes paid on each dollar in each city throughout California; and WHEREAS, the State has reduced the amount of funding to cities in recent years; and WHEREAS, costs of operating cities have increased in recent years due to a variety of factors, including increases in crime and increases in the number of mandates cities must comply with; and WHEREAS, voters throughout the State are weary of paying additional taxes, fees, and assessments for what they view as diminishing local services; and WHEREAS, the above circumstances have led to drastic cuts in the areas of Police, Fire, Library, Parks and Recreation, and Street Maintenance services by many cities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the effects of such cuts, and continued erosion of services in these areas will result in increased crime, reduced property values, reduced sales tax revenues, and increased costs to manage cities; and WHEREAS, the voters throughout California seem to consider such local government services a higher priority than many services provided by the State that are funded with sales tax revenue; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the General Assembly of the League of California Cities assembled in Annual Conference in San Francisco, October 24, 1995, that the League will sponsor legislation or sponsor a ballot initiative effort that will redistribute sales taxes received by the State such that the State's share is 4% and the cities' share is 2% of the sales taxes paid per dollar; and, be it further RESOLVED, that the amount of sales tax revenue to be redistributed shall be allocated to cities using the same method as is currently being used to distribute the existing 1% share per dollar cities receive. INFORMATION & SOURCES Statewide Tax Rate The statewide sales tax breaks down as follows according to the State Board of Equalization. [Legal references were obtained from Mr. John Waid, Senior Legal Counsel, State Board of Equalization (telephone 916/324-3828). Taxable sales information is available from the Statistics Section, Planning and Research Division, State Board of Equalization (telephone 916/445-0840)]. STATEWIDE SALES TAX BREAKDOWN Percents received by Agencies State Government County - Health & Welfare 5.00% OE REF N .. R & T Code 6051 & 6051.3 .50% County - Public Safety* .50% Cities and Counties# 1.00% Counties - Transportation .25% Total 7.25% R & T Code 6051.2 & 6201.2; W & 117600 Prop 172 added to State Constitution R & T Code 7202(a) R & T Code 7202(d)(e) Notes: *About 10% of the amount apportioned to counties is allocated to cities, except in Alameda County. #Apportioned by place of sale. Do cities receive 1% or 1.25%? The Bradley -Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Law (Taxation and Revenue 7200 et seq.), does establish the rate for cities and counties at 1.25 percent. But, according to Mr. John Waid, Senior Legal Counsel, State Board of Equalization, .25 percent is reserved for county transportation programs and goes to counties. This is pursuant to sections 7202(d)(e). Hence, cities do not receive 1.25 percent, but 1% in non- restricted general funds. Health and Welfare Realignment Program The amount designated for county health and social service programs of $1.6 billion (according to Western City, August 1995, p. 4), mostly goes only to counties, according to the Sandy Rogerson, Supervisor of Health and Welfare Program, Apportionment Unit of the State Controller's Office (916/322-5089). This is for the Health and Welfare Realignment Program which was approved and went into effect in 1991. This program is codified in Welfare & Institutions Code, Sections 17600 - 17609.15. Only seven cities statewide receive any funds for this program (San Francisco, Berkeley, Pasadena, Long Beach, and a Tri -City group). -- OVER -- Public Safety Funds These funds were voter approved through Prop 172 in November of 1993 and amount to a .5% sales tax. They are designated for counties and cities that were subject to the property tax shift and are apportioned to counties based on their percentage of statewide taxable sales. Counties allocate funds to cities based on a formula established in Government Code Sections 30052-30054. According to Mr. Lyman Jeung, Principal Accountant of the LA County Auditor's Office (telephone 213/974-8362), and as stated in the Code, there is a limit on how much cities can receive from Prop 172 revenue -- 50% of the amount shifted in property taxes after deducting vehicle registration fee revenue. For example, if a city lost $1 million in property tax revenue but received $200,000 in vehicle registration fee revenue, then the city could receive no more than $400,000 in Prop 172 revenue (1,000,000 - 200,000 = 800,000 * .50 = 400,000). LA County received $370 million in fiscal year 94-95 (less 1 month) and retained $335 million; cities in LA County were apportioned about $35 million -- less than 10% of the total apportioned to LA County by the State. Mr. Lyman says that counties lost a greater share of property tax revenue during the shift and this is why counties receive a larger share of sales tax revenue from this source. According to Ms. Kwong- McGee at the State Controller's Office (916/324-8365), a number of cities are now complaining how little funding they actually receive -- in some cases counties are retaining up to 95% of these revenues. As an example of what this has meant to cities consider the following example. Prop 172 ushered in a 1/2 cent or .5% sales tax. A 1% sales tax results in $5.7 million to the City of Covina (population 44,000) when it is apportioned based on place of sale. Yet, the 1/2 cent sales tax imposed by Prop 172 resulted in only $213,000 to Covina last year. This has to do with the formula set forth in Government Code Section 30054. If this allocation formula was changed to return the funds based on place of sale, Covina's revenue designated for public safety services would increase by over $2.5 million per year.

Concur: oney, 1 erector Co munity Resources Stephen R City Manager Respectfully Submitted, isa NN wsom Recreation Supervisor Community Resources Johnson ani oiola complete South Bay sweep in Hermosa ase Loiola might have played the best match of his career en route to winning the; filler Lite/AVP Championships with partner Adam Johnson. by Garrison Frost Jr. Even though they won in Manhattan Beach two weeks earlier, there were few who gave Adam Johnson and Jose Loiola much of a chance at winning the Miller Lite/AVP Championships in Hermosa Bea4h last weekend. i Going into last Friday's action, the pair ,were ranked third behind the newly re • united powerhouse team of Karch Kiraly.:, • and Scott Ayakatubby and the always-. 'tough duo of Mike Dodd and Mike Whit- marsh... ° Conventional wisdom. had Kiraly and Ayakatubby dominating the field. The two had already won six tournaments thissum- .mer. Putting the odds even more in their favor was the fact that the area's knowl- edgeable volleyball fans.were sure to turn out in droves to support, Ayakatubby, who lives just a few blocks down the street from the tournament site. •`' But, as usual, conventional wisdom was far from wise. In what may `have been the • most lopsided victory in the history of this event, Johnson and Loiola demolished Ki- raly -and Ayakatubby under a flurry of jump serves and stuff blocks. ' The final score was 15-5. In reality, it wasn't nearly that close. "We ran into a steamroller," Kiraly said after the match. "There wasn't a whole lot we could do to stop them." With their win, Johnson and Loiola ac- complished what has been rarely done be- fore, winning both South Bay major tour- naments in one summer. "We were real happy to win this one," Johnson said. "It's a rare sweep. It's spe- cial." -- . • In Manhattan two. weeks ago, Johnson • and Loiola won with jump serves. They didn't waiver from that game plan ih Her- mosa, totalling five spaders, four of which came from Johnson. Added to the mix last weekend, how- ever, was Loiola's blocking, which took. their opponents, especially Ayakatubby,' completely out of their game. Loiola to-• taled up five stuff blocks for points in the match. "He was everywhere," said Ayakatubby., "I was trying to go over or around him. It was like he had ESP.". Before the match, Loiola pointed to where many of Ayakatubby's 16th Street buddies were sitting in the stands and gave them the thumbs -down sign. As the match progressed, it was clear that he was ready, to back up his optimism. Johnson and Loiola jumped out to a 5-0 lead with Johnson's second ace of the match. At 6-0, Loiola put a block on Ki- raly, then another on Ayakatubby to go up (Please turn to page 22) Volleyball (Continued from page 17) _ 7-0. Johnson capped off the scoring flurry with yet another ace to go up 8-0. Kiraly got his team's first point in the match when he was able to block a lazy line shot by Johnson. After the ball hit the sand, Kiraly pumped his fist and exhorted his teammate to "come on." But Johnson and Loiola left little room for a comeback. They extended their lead to 12-1 on a dig and spike by Johnson. Loiola put up another stuff block on Ayakatubby to make it 13-1, and Johnson scored another dig and put -away to bring on point game. ' With their backs to the wall, Kiraly and Ayakatubby came alive, scoring four straight points to draw within 5-14. But the rally fell short when Johnson made the last of his digs and -converted with a cut -shot into the open court. For Ayakatubby, it was the second time in two weeks that he was denied a home- town win by Johnson and Loiola. He placed second in Manhattan with Randy Stoklos. In winning their fourth event together this summer, Johnson and Loiola split a $100,000 purse. Kiraly and Ayakatubby split $21,500. Johnson and Loiola went through the tournament undefeated, beating Kiraly and Ayakatubby 15-12 earlier Sunday in the fi- nals of the winners bracket. Kiraly and Ayakatubby reached the championship final with a 15-5 drubbing of Brian Lewis and Bill Boullianne.
