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.
Municipal Matters ... Non-public Hearing items predicted to warrant discussion by the City
Council are placed here.
Miscellaneous Items and Reports - City Manager... The City Manager coordinates
departmental reports and brings items to the attention of, or for action by the City Council.
Verbal reports may be given by the City Manager regarding items not on the agenda, usually
having arisen since the agenda was prepared on the preceding Wednesday.
Miscellaneous Items and Reports - City Council ... Members of the City Council may place
items on the agenda for consideration by the full Council.
Other Matters - City Council ... These are matters that come to the attention of a Council
member after publication of the Agenda.

Regular Meeting of
October 10, 1995
TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT AVIATION BLVD. AND OCEAN AVENUE:
REQUEST BY BUSINESS OPERATORS TO REMOVE LEFT TURN POCKETS
Purpose:
To provide information for the City Council to review concerning the request of the business
operators.
Background:
The installation of the signal generally has been well received by the businesses in the area. I
believe that many residents that are on either side of Aviation also find it easier to leave their
neighborhoods.
The problem developed when the red curbs were installed in order to accommodate the left turn
lanes for east and west bound traffic turning on to Ocean Avenue. The red curbs eliminated
parking in front of businesses located on a portion of the south side of Aviation Boulevard. The
businesses located east of Ocean Avenue on the south side lost four spaces. These businesses have
only limited off-street parking in two small lots. There were also two spaces removed west of
Ocean Avenue. This building has several businesses and an off-street parking lot. The businesses
have stated that the loss of this on -street parking has had a negative impact on customers coming to
their stores.
I have attached a copy of a letter that has been provided to business operators in the area. The
letter includes reports from traffic engineering and a drawing showing the impacted area and the
number of spaces added to offset the loss of parking in the areas necessary to accommodate the left
turn lanes.
It is clear that if the left turn lanes remain, then the parking could not be restored where it existed
before. If the City Council wishes to grant the request and remove the left turn lanes. it can do so.
The City has a certain amount of immunity from liability when it makes a legislative determination
on an issue like this. It is important to review the material that is attached and then make a
decision on the request.
Recommendation:
Review the request from Aviation Boulevard businesses and make a determination on whether or
not the left turn lanes should be modified or removed.

Dear Eddie:
Civic Center, 1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, California 90254.3885
I have attached some information concerning the left turn pockets and the resulting loss of on -
street parking. I believe that it is a good idea to present all of the options to you and all the
other property owners and business operators prior to making any additional changes.
It appears that the present red curbing now results in no loss of parking. Certainly, the
replacement parking spaces are not as useable for some of the businesses. Probably, the most
difficult spot is the southeast corner of Aviation and Ocean (Mr. Given's building). It is not
possible to add any more on -street parking near the intersection with the left turn pockets.
A letter is attached concerning left turn pockets by the traffic engineer that designed the signal.
Also attached is a memo from Ed Ruzak & Associates, the City's Traffic Engineer. He is
responding to several questions that we raised about the left turn lanes.
I believe that this information will be helpful to you and the other business and property owners
in the area as to why the lanes were included. I would be happy to meet with you so that we
can go over the information and perhaps craft a proposal that will be somewhat workable for
the businesses in the area.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: AVIATION BOULEVARD AND OCEAN DRIVE, CHANNELIZATION
Dear Ms. Amirani:
Our firm prepared the plans for the installation of a traffic signal and related striping at
the intersection of Aviation Boulevard and Ocean Drive. While our initial plan did not
include left turn channelization on Aviation Boulevard, this feature was added at the
request of the City. We agree with the City's decision to provide left turn channelization
with the signalization to increase the safety of the street.
The left turn channelization provides a refuge arca for left turning vehicles. This
reduces the potential for rear -end type collisions. In addition, it provides for increased
capacity and smoother traffic flow by reducing the potential for lane blockage. The
installation of the signal provides an opportunity for drivers to turn left during the signal
change or yellow interval. As a result, there tends to be an increase in left turns. This
further supports the desirability of left turn channelization. With few exceptions, left
turn channelization is normally installed as a part of signalization. While some on -street
parking may be lost, the safety benefits arc felt t� offset this loss.

The signal installation included a restriping of Aviation
Blvd to provide separate left turn lanes for eastbound and
westbound directions.
The left turn pockets are needed in order to avoid a
dangerous condition that would exist at the signal without them.
Westbound traffic on Aviation is high speed and comes around
a curve that has limited sight distance. Further, the westbound
direction is downhill.
Any driver stopped in the through lane while trying to make
a left turn runs the risk of being rear ended. Likewise a driver
westbound may have to take evasive action to avoid the stopped
left turner resulting in a loss of control type accident.
The eastbound left turner stopped in the through lane runs
the serious rear end risk of being struck by eastbound vehicles
that are accelerating up the hill from PCH. The driver on the
uphill curve also has limited sight of stopped vehicles in the.
through lane.
Vehicles making turns out of Aubrey Court, the shopping
Center or motel driveways that wish to _go east must accelerate
into traffic while watching out for westbound and eastbound
through traffic. They do not need to have another fixed obstacle,
i.e. a stopped vehicle in the through lane to impede their
progress or to create a safety hazard for them.
Removing the left turn lanes and prohibiting.the left turns
in both directions is not feasible and would contribute to
safety problems on adjacent streets. The eastbound left turning
drivers would then have to turn at Bonnie Brae and Aviation.
This would be a horrible situation in that drivers
accelerating,up the hill would not expect a stopped vehicle just
after a traffic signal.
With a prohibited eastbound left turn, drivers would have to
turn left at Aubrey court to enter Montgomery Street. They
couldn't do so at Ocean. This is an existing problem accident
location that is entirely too close to the shopping center
driveway and PCH. Congestion would occur and safety would be
jeopardized.
Without the left turn lanes and with the turn prohibitons
traffic would have to use other residential streets and travel
longer distances along these streets to reach their destination.
This is exactly what the citizens of Hermosa Beach do not want.
They have repeatedly through questionnaires and public hearings
told us they do not want one way streets and restricted turns to
control their access. .
1
Option One - Remove Left Turn Pockets
A. Allow Left Turn
The left turn channelization provides a refuge area for left turning
vehicles. This reduces the potential for rear -end type collisions.
Removal of the left turn pockets will greatly diminish the safety
factors of this particular intersection since westbound traffic on
Aviation is high speed and comes around a curve that has limited
sight distance.
B. Prohibit Left Turn
This option is not feasible and would contribute to safety problems
on adjacent streets. This option would create a traffic problem on
addict residential streets.
C. Prohibit Left Turn at Peak Periods
This option is not feasible. The eastbound left turning drivers
would have to turn at Bonnie Brae and Aviation. Bonnie Brae
intersection is too close to the subject signal and drivers
accelerating up the hill would not expect a stopped vehicle just
after a traffic signal.
Option Two - Leave Left Turn Pockets
The left turn channelization provides for safety and reduces
potential rear -end accidents. The installation of the pockets
provides an opportunity for drivers to turn left during the signal
change or yellow intervals. This is most common when installing
new signals. With few exceptions, left turn channelization is
normally installed as part of signalization. While some street
parking may be lost, the safety benefits are felt to offset this loss.
Option Three - Work on providing additional parking
The Public Works department has worked with the businesses to
provide as much on street parking as possible and will continue to
do so in the future. Some of their efforts include:
New parking spaces created:
1. Remove existing red curb and created 2 parking spaces
eastbound Aviation east of Bonnie Brae.
2. Removed existing red curb to create two additional parking
spaces eastbound Aviation just east of Ocean Drive.
3. Remove existing red curb and created two additional
parking spaces eastbound Aviation just west of Prospect.
TOTAL PARKING SPACES CREATED: 6
Existing parking spaces removed
4. Possible four spaces eastbound Aviation just east of Ocean
Drive.
5. Two spaces eastbound Aviation just west of Ocean Drive.
TOTAL PARKING SPACES REMOVED: 6

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of Hermosa Beach:
10
My name is Gerald E. McGowen, and I live at 1440 Campana Street in Hermosa Beach. My
residence is the rear unit of a duplex, 1436/1440 Campana. The driveway at 1436/1440 Campana
is asphalt and in serious need of repair. I wish to replace the asphalt driveway with a concrete
driveway; a project that will benefit me and my neighbors. I have discussed this project with
Hermosa Beach employees so as to acquire the appropriate permits and to comply with all
regulations. During this process, I was informed that I would need to install curbs and gutters.
If I do this, I will have the only curbs and gutters on the street (there is a small section of curb
associated with the storm drain at the end of the street, but that curb is actually on Joy Street,
not Campana Street).
Campana Street is very small and in some ways, unusual. Only five properties, including my
duplex, front Campana Street. All of the remaining properties bordering Campana Street front
Bonnie Brae (9 properties), Prospect (2 properties), or 14th Street (1 property; actually bordering
Joy Street at the location of the storm drain); Campana Street serves as an alley to them. Within
the last few- years, two new houses were built on Bonnie Brae with Campana Street serving as
their alley. Curbs and gutters on Campana Street were not required for these properties because
Campana Street is their alley. All properties on the west side of Campana Street front Bonnie
Brae; Campana Street is an alley to all of them. Presumably, the west side of Campana Street
will never require curbs and gutters, and presumably the same would be true for the two east side
lots that front Prospect. Because of this, and because we, the residents of Campana Street, like
and wish to retain the country -like atmosphere of our small street, we, the residents of Campana
Street, request that Campana Street not have curbs and gutters. It is our understanding that
similar exemptions have been granted for other streets in Hermosa Beach. The attached petition
requesting an exemption for Campana Street was signed by owners of all, five Campana-Street
properties, and by someone from all of the properties for which Campana Street serves as an
alley.
Your consideration of this petition is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Gerald E. McGowen

Regular Meeting of

CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE FOR 1996
Purpose:
To set a schedule for City Council meetings for 1996.
Background:
City Council meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month, with the exception of the
months of August and December when Council meets only on the 2nd Tuesday to
accommodate the summer vacation and winter holiday seasons. This break in the council
meeting/staff report cycle allows staff to concentrate on "work in progress" and is a very
productive time.
Analysis:
With a schedule in place for 1996, we would be able to achieve the above mentioned
results without overburdening the agendas for the meeting prior to, or following the
August and December hiatus.
Recommendation:
Approve the meeting schedule for 1996.
Respectfully submitted,

Regular Meeting of
November 14, 1995
REQUEST FROM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO PROVIDE TWO HOUR
FREE PARKING AT ALL COMMERCIAL (SILVER POST) PARKING
METERS FROM NOVEMBER 20, 1995 THROUGH DECEMBER 26, 1995.
Recommendation:
Approve request from the Chamber of Commerce and authorize the placement of cards in
all commercial (silver post) parking meters indicating two hours free parking from
November 20, 1995 through December 26, 1995.
Background:
Each year, during the holiday season, the commercial meters have been "bagged" and two
hour free parking has been provided. As noted in their letter, the Chamber of Commerce
will be providing two-sided, half-moon shaped cards to be inserted directly into the meters
by city personnel, thus eliminating the need to replace bags that have been removed.
The City has historically approved this request as a means of promoting shopping in the
downtown area during the holiday season and the requested time frame (Thanksgiving
weekend through Christmas) encompasses the peak shopping season.

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Dear Mayor Bowler and Members
The holiday season is approaching
attract visitors and residents to the
of the City Council:
and the Chamber of Commerce is planning activities to help
area to enjoy our unique shops and outstanding restaurants.
To create goodwill, a worry -free shopping and entertainment atmosphere, we request
permission to continue the eleven -year holiday tradition of providing two free hours of parking
in the downtown business district. We are requesting two free hours holiday parking from
Monday, November 20 through Tuesday, December 26. Many of our downtown merchants
have expressed a desire to continue the two free hours of holiday parking, and we are happy to
help facilitate their request.
At the suggestion of the traffic enforcement unit officer, rather than covering the meters with
plastic bags (which are often removed and need constant replacement), we can have two-sided
half-moon shaped cards inserted directly into the meters by city personnel. The cards will
read "Happy Holidays" 2 hours free parking courtesy of the City of Hermosa Beach, the
Chamber of Commerce and downtown merchants", space permitting.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request which we respectfully ask be
placed on the November 14, 1995 City Council agenda for anticipated approval.
Sincerely,
eiAtE

Regular meeting of
November 14, 1995
West Basin Municipal Water District - Retrofit Funding
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve the Retrofit Financing Agreement between the City of Hermosa Beach
and the West Basin Municipal Water District.(WBMWD)
Background:
A Notice of Completion was filed on January 17, 1995 indicating the completion of
construction on the WBMWD Water Reclaimation Project. This main distribution line,
located within the Hermosa Beach Greenbelt, brings low-cost recycled water to the South
Bay Area. These lines have recently been filled and are presently being served by a fully
operational treatment plant in El Segundo.
Reclaimed water is now available for irrigation use within the City but work is necessary
to convert the City -owned facilities from potable to reclaimed sources. Soon to be
completed South Park was designed for reclaimed water and will be the City's first facility
to utilize this new technology. Older existing facilities such as Valley Park, Clark Stadium,
City Hall and the Community Center will require varying degrees of retrofitting to meet
County Health Department standards for recycled water use. The total cost to update
these irrigation systems is $38,352.
The Greenbelt is the City of Hermosa Beach's largest user of irrigation water. It uses- as
much water as the other parks and civic areas combined. The existing irrigation system
within The Greenbelt is quite old, with much of it being an above -ground "Skinner line"
type system. This manually controlled system is in constant need of repair as these lines
are unprotected and are therefor exposed to being kicked , hit, and run over. While this
system could be modified to accept reclaimed water for an approximate cost of $32,000,
the deficiencies noted would not be corrected. A fully automated subterranean system with
pop-up sprinkler heads is estimated to cost $120,000 including reclaimed water retrofits.
At the City Council meeting of July 11, 1995, staff brought before the City Council a
funding agreement negotiated with the WBMWD which would pay for the intended
improvements. This financial assistance program implemented a surcharge equal to the
difference in the price between potable and recycled water until the District had recovered
it's costs. At current pricing it is estimated that it would take approximately 14 years to
pay the initial $158,400 investment plus interest back. Staff was directed to renegotiate the
financial assistance program to exclude any improvements to The Greenbelt in the effort
to secure an agreement that would allow the City to benefit from the cost savings of
reclaimed water as soon as possible.
Analysis:
City staff, in coordination with the WBMWD, has renegotiated a financial assistance
program whereby the District would finance the construction of the retrofit improvements
at Valley Park, Clark Stadium, City Hall and the Community Center to promote the use of
recycled water. In this way the City will benefit from recycled water immediately and the
District will benefit by reducing it's dependence on imported water.
The WBMWD, under their conservation garden program, has also made grant funds in the
amount of $10,000 available for improvements on The Greenbelt.
Fiscal Impact:
The costs for these improvements will be borne solely by the WBMWD. The City can
expect a .2583 per 100 cu. ft. (19%) savings on the basic water rate of 1.3843 per 100 cu.
ft. by using reclaimed water.

"DISTRICT", and City of Hermosa Beach, hereinafter "CITY", agree as follows:
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
DISTRICT is constructing a system to distribute a portion of the recycled water produced
at the West Basin Water Recycling Plant (hereinafter "Water Recycling Plant") on a wholesale
basis. A portion of the recycled water will be purchased from District by California Water
Service Company (hereinafter "COMPANY") at wholesale rates, and resold within COMPANY
service area in accordance with COMPANY rates, rules and regulations for the sale and
distribution of recycled water. CITY wishes to obtain such water for irrigation purposes within
the CITY limits in lieu of continued purchase of potable water from COMPANY. Recycled
water cannot be used without improvements (hereinafter "retrofit improvements") to assure the
recycled water and potable water pipelines remain separate. DISTRICT wishes to finance the
construction of retrofit improvements to promote use of recycled water.
SECTION 2. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE HERMOSA BEACH FIRE DEPARTMENT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE MEDI-CAL PROGRAM AS A PROVIDER OF
EMERGENCY GROUND TRANSPORTATION
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 95- authorizing the Hermosa Beach Fire
Department to participate in the State MediCal program as a provider of emergency ground transportation.
Background:
In October 1995, staff was informed by MediCal that our provider number had been de -activated.
Unbeknownst to staff MediCal's computer system automatically de -activated the City's provider number
because there had been zero activity or claims made in the last 18 months (the cut-off period for the
computer). Consequently, any pending or new claims submitted by the City would be denied since the City
was no longer a qualified provider. To re -activate its provider status, the City is required to complete a
new application.
Analysis:
In lieu of the CHP license/certificate required of privately owned and operated emergency ground
transportation services, authorization from the City Council as the responsible governing body for the City
of Hermosa Beach is required for the Fire Department to participate in the MediCal program. Without
such authorization, MediCal will not approve the application.
For some indigent patients, MediCal is the sole source of any reimbursement for the City's emergency
ground transportation services.
De -activations in the future will be avoided by written request to MediCal when staff finds that 12 months
have passed with no MediCal activity.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE HERMOSA BEACH FIRE DEPARTMENT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE MEDI-CAL PROGRAM AS A PROVIDER OF EMERGENCY
GROUND TRANSPORTATION.
The City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, California does hereby find, order and resolve as
follows:
WHEREAS the MediCal computer system automatically de -activated the City of Hermosa
Beach's provider number because no claims had been filed during the last eighteen (18) months thereby
resulting in MediCal denial of all pending and future claims; and
WHEREAS to re -activate its MediCal provider number the City of Hermosa Beach must make a
new application requiring the City Council to authorize the participation of the Hermosa Beach Fire
Department in the MediCal program as a provider of emergency ground transportation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Hermosa
Beach does hereby authorize the Hermosa Beach Fire Department to participate in the MediCal program
as a provider of emergency ground transport.

1 4% TAX FUND REMAINING FUND BALANCE
As you will recall, the resolution that was adopted at your October 24, 1995 meeting set
up the process to end the 4% portion of the UUT that was used to purchase the
Greenbelt. The original measure approved by the voters anticipated that the 4% fund
would have some remaining funds and state that these funds would be used for the
acquisition and maintenance of open space lands for the benefit of the citizens of the City.
It appears that the amount that will remain will be in the range of $890,000 to $1,100,000.
The precise amount will be known once all of the utility companies make their payments
after the effective date of the ordinance lowering the tax which will be December 14,
1995.
The use of the funds is straight forward and certainly there are a number of improvements
and maintenance needs in the parks and recreation facilities. The Parks, Recreation and
Community Resources Commission will begin updating its priority list for review by the
City Council at a later date.
Recommendation:
Receive and file report.

CLARK FIELD PARKING
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve construction of a 4' high chain link fence along the northerly border of
Clark Field.
2. Appropriate $6,925.00 from perspective expenditure to the public works
department budget.
Background:
Since City Council's October 24, 1995 directive to open the asphalt area adjacent to Clark
Field for parking several problems have been observed. Vehicles have been parking and/or
driving on the lawn areas, causing damage to irrigation lines, sprinkler heads and backflow
valves. A report to the Parks and Recreation Commission involved the following
alternatives:
1. Prohibit parking in the area.
2. Extend the existing wall to the limit of the lawn area.
3. Install chain link fence along the field border to the limit of the lawn area.
Analysis:
Survey of the area in question reveals that 12 -8.5' x 18' perpendicularly parked stalls can
be added but the resulting backup space will be 3' narrower than suggested standards.
Tire stops should be installed to prevent vehicles from hitting the wall along the north side
of the asphalt area.
The Public Works Department has further analyzed the alternatives and has prepared the
following preliminary cost analysis for the three alternatives:
1. Prohibit parking
Work entails installation of a gate at the field entrance to allow limited access for
maintenance vehicles. The cost of this alternative is approximately $2,000.00.
li
2. Extend existing wall to the limit of the lawn area
Work includes construction of 135' of 18" high wall, installation of a gate for maintenance
access, tire stops and striping of the parking stalls. The cost of this alternative is
approximately $11,275.00.
3. Install chain link fence to the limit of the lawn area.
Work entails the installation of 135' of 4' high chain link fence, installation of a
maintenance access gate, tire stops and striping of the parking stalls.
The cost of this alternative is approximately $6,925.00.
The Department of Public Works recommends that if parking is allowed in the Clark field
area that some type of barrier be installed to prevent vehicles from entering the lawn areas.
The installation of chain link fence is the most cost effective way to insure this.
Fiscal Impact:
The Fiscal Impact to the budget for the addition of 12 parking stalls at Clark Field is
$6,925.00.

RE: Redondo Beach Super Bowl Sunday Mile
Dear Mary:
•
This is art official request from the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce
and Conte Productions to gain approval for use of a portion of Hermosa
Avenue in the City of Hermosa Beach to facilitate the start of our 5th
Annual Super Bowl Mile which is the opening event of the upcoming
Redondo Beach Super Bowl Sunday 5K/10K RunilOK Fun Ro11/5K Fun
Walk. The event will take place on Sunday, January 28, 1996.
As with last year's event, the "Mile" will be an exclusive invitational one
mile sprint race. We will invite twelve elite athletes, both men and
women, to compete in this prestigious race. The Mile races will take
less than two minutes from the start on Hermosa Avenue _at Eighth
Street to the boarder of Redondo Beach.
The straight away format provides a world class course which finishes
in a southerly direction under the 10K RUN START BANNER on Harbor
Drive at the corner of Beryl Street in. Redondo Beach. Again last year,
in the men's event, a blazing sub -4 minute time was set on this
exceptionally fast race course.
In order to "conduct the event as before, we will need the assistance
from the City of Hermosa Beach by allowing the event to start in
Hermosa Beach at 8th Street. We would utilize the west side of the
median only for approximately 30 minutes beginning at 7:00 a.m. and
opening the street to traffic at 7:30 a.m.. The men's race will start at
7:15 a.m. with the women starting 5 minutes later, each race takes
approximately 5 minutes to complete.

The Redondo Beach Police will close Harbor Drive at Herondo at 6:30 a.m.
and the east bound lanes of Herondo will be closed for the 10K Run at
7:00 a.m.. All streets in Hermosa Beach will be re -opened immediately
following the Mile event.
The City of Hermosa Beach will be included as additionally insured on
our Super Bowl Sunday Race policy. We will secure all arteries leading
into the affected area on Hermosa Avenue with traffic cones. Hermosa
Beach Police assistance at 8th Street to manage traffic at the start of
the mile would be appreciated. We will provide personnel to manage all
the logistics of the run and will plan the event in coordination with City
staff and policies as deemed appropriate.
We would like to start the race with a starting gun again this year and
will certainly notify residents and businesses in the affected area by
letter 10 days before the event.
As before, we will invite an appointed representative of the Hermosa
Beach Police Department to participate in planning meetings for the
event.
On behalf of the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce we request that
the City of Hermosa Beach waive the fees associated with the running
and filming of the event.
Included is a map which details the street closure. Should you have
any questions I will be available at your convenience to discuss the
matter. We appreciate your continued support and assistance in this
endeavor.

BEACH FX - INTERNET PROPOSAL
Recommendation:
Approve participation in beach FX and direct the City Manager to forward information for
inclusion on the Internet.
Background:
A proposal is attached from Kevin Lucier of beach FX Interactive. He has set up a page
that will provide information about city governments, local businesses, special events,
Chamber of Commerce, etc. that will be available on the World Wide Web. They would
like to include information on city government and are offering to do so at no cost. The
City staff would develop the information, provide it on disk and update it from time to
time.
Beach FX will also provide business information such as menus of restaurants that
advertise on the page. Generally, the page will be supported by advertising revenues. The
City could, at a later date, set up our own page if we wish. I do not think we are ready to
do this now. The information that we provide to beach FX would be available to any
other online service interested.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen R. Burrell

Re: City of Hermosa Beach -Internet Proposal
Dear Stephen:
It was a pleasure meeting with you last week. As requested, I am forwarding an outline
of the proposed on-line computer services which I am offering to the City of Hermosa Beach.
Beach FX interactive is creating a community oriented World Wide Web Internet site,
which focusses on community activities, businesses, and governments of the beach cities. Our
approach is unique and unlike that of anyone else on the Internet, in that we are developing
content which is directly of interest to the local beach city residents. Our site has been called an
"Electronic Town Square," providing residents with a tremendously simple yet informative way
of getting on-line and finding out what is happening in their own backyard.
To that end, beach FX is offering free space on our site to local governments, chambers
of commerce, and other non-profit organizations in order to make the site complete in its content.
In turn, the organizations involved will be required to compile and maintain their own information
and/or home page. Said information must be given to beach FX in an electronic format, either
on floppy disk or downloaded electronically, and beach FX will do the rest to put the information
on-line. Any reprogramming or corrections to the organization's information that must be
completed by beach FX will be billed at our standard hourly rate. Of course, the organization can
complete its own reprogramming and/or changes.
Beach FX feels that this is a win-win situation for both ourselves and the community and
are very excited to get the city of Hermosa Beach on-line. Consequently, please call me at your
earliest convenience so that we can make the necessary arrangements to get the City of Hermosa
Beach on the Internet.
Kevin F. Lucier,
President beach FX Interactive.

November 14, 1995
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE EXECUTION OF STATE -LOCAL ENTITY MASTER AGREEMENT
NO. SLTPP-CYCLE 5-5155 AND PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT AGREEMENT NO. 001 AND 002.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
Approve and adopt Resolution No. 95 , a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hermosa
Beach.
Background:
On October 20, 1993, the grant application for the State Local Transportation Partnership Program
(SLTPP) was approved by the Local Streets and Road Branch of Caltrans for the Monterey Boulevard
and Hermosa Avenue pavement rehabilitation. This fund provides for a percentage of the total
construction cost.
Analysis:
The purpose of this resolution is to secure reimbursement of these funds from the State for the
construction cost of Monterey Blvd. and Hermosa Ave. pavement rehabilitation.
This is a necessary step in the process of obtaining this fund for the above projects.
Alternatives:
Do nothing, there by allowing available funds to lapse to the State, causing an increased General
Fund obligation.

Status Report
30th and 31st street fences along walk street Encroachment area
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Direct staff to proceed with a text amendment to the Municipal Code to
simplify the language of the encroachment permit code.
a) Increase the height limit to 42" to comply with the UBC .
b) Add language to require encroachment permits for new, remodel
buildings or any new or reconstruction of fences or walls.
c) Add language regarding an appeal process.
2) Direct staff to work on the amortization and the insurance program and
return to City Council with the results.
Background:
The current encroachment section of the municipal code requires any property
owner that encroaches in to the public right-of-way to obtain an encroachment
permit. An encroachment permit requires submittal of an application and a plot
plan, a residential permit agreement, and a $500,000 insurance policy which
holds the City harmless.
The existing encroacment permit process is as follows:
An application is filed with the Department of Public Works to determine if an
encroachment permit should be granted. A check for an amount of $309.25 is
collected to cover the cost of the permit processing. An inspection is then
performed to make sure that the area in question is in fact public right-of-way
and that all construction is accordance with the municipal code. The applicant is
required at this time to obtain a $500,000 insurance policy for the encroachment
area. The applicant is informed of the results and a check is obtained for an
amount to cover recordation of the agreement. The agreement is sent to the
recorder's office.
The process is long, time consuming and difficult to administer. When dealing
with the applicants, there are two problems that always arise. 1) The insurance
companies refuse to add the City as the additional insured. The insurance will
need to be updated every year. 2) The majority of the applicants question why
prior construction of higher walls or fences were allowed with or without city
approval.
Analysis:
The current encroachment code gives permission to some residents for
permanent private use of the public right-of-way. There are approximately 6000
homes requiring encroachment permits. To date the Public Works Department
has filed 100 encroachment permits.
The Public Works Department is in the process of conducting a survey to
identify properties requiring an encroachment permit. The survey will determine
the magnitude of the problem. An approach to handle the situation then could
be analyzed at that time. The survey will be completed in February, 1995.
Currently, there is no staff person assigned to this task. Staff recommends
simplifying the system to administer the permits more efficiently: Staff is also
recommending that a consistent unified code or set of regulations be established
that will govern the use of public right-of-ways throughout the City. The private
use of public right-of-ways should be considered a generous concession by the
City, not the right of the encroaching residents. Only when a consistent, fair and
straight forward permit process is established will the Public Works Department
be able to properly administer this regulation.
The following issues were raised at the previous City Council meeting:
1. Height Limit
The current height limit on public right of way is 3'. The Current height
limit in private property within the front yard setback is also 3'. Any
change in the height in the public property will require City Council
approval. Any change in the height of the fence within the front yard
setback will require a variance from the Planning Commission. The
Public Works Department has recommended one height increase in the
City on Gould Avenue. This increase was processed the same way as
the variance and findings were met and recommended.
In the case that retaining walls are needed in public right -of way, a
maximum height of a 42" fence is required for safety purposes ( per the
UBC code).
Options:
The following options were presented at the City Council meeting of
October 24, 1995.
Alternative A - Allow increase in the height of the fence to 42" on
top of the retaining wall
Alternative B - Allow increase of the height of the fence to 5'0",
providing a 50% open fence.
One additional option is to increase the height of the fence in the public or
private property to 42".
Recommendation- Staff is recommending to increase the height of the
fence to 42" to comply with the UBC .
2. Fee
At the last City Council meeting an increase of the permit fee to $500 was
presented for encroachment permits on 30th and 31st streets. Staff is
recommending that encroachment fee be the same for the entire City.
Recommendation- Staff is not recommending fee increases for part of the
City, as it would be hard to monitor and it would difficult to justify.
3. Enforcement
Currently an encroachment permit is required for any new construction or
any remodel or when a new fence is build. An issue was raised whether
to bring all encroachment into compliance with the current code. Public
Works is in the process of conducting an encroachment survey. The
impact of enforcing current code on all properties is not known at this
time. After completion of the survey staff will return with the analysis of
the impact of the enforcement.
Recommendation -
a. Retain the current policy which requires an encroachment permit
for any new, remodel or any new or reconstruction of fences or walls.
b. Add language regarding an appeal process. The City currently has
no formal appeal process. Any decision made by Public Works
Department could be appealed to the City Council by a simple phone
call to the City Manager or a letter to the City. A more formal process is
required to have consistency with the current variance process on private
property.
4. Amortization
If it was decided to bring all encroachments into compliance with the
current code, the recommended amortization is seven years. As
mentioned earlier, our current staffing forces does not allow us to
commence a project of this magnitude. After the completion of the survey
in February, depending of the magnitude of the project, several options
can be analyzed; one to hire additional staff to accommodate the need ,
and the other is to hire a consultant. The cost of these options have not
been determined at this time. The City of Manhattan Beach commenced a
similar program two years ago to bring all encroachments into
compliance. After 1- 1/2 year of struggle to get any compliance, their
program ended six months ago.
Recommendation- It is recommended to retain the current policy until new
survey is conducted.
5. Insurance
The current requirement for obtaining an encroachment permit is for any
residential property to acquire a $500,000 insurance policy for the
encroachment area. This insurance needs to be updated every year. To
have a regulation and require insurance from property owner and not
enforce the regulation is more difficult to defend than not having the
insurance. Staff requires more time to research this item and will return at
the completion of the survey with the results.

Status Report
Traffic Signal at Aviation Boulevard and Ocean Drive
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Receive and File.
Background:
With the construction of the traffic signal at the intersection of Ocean Drive and Aviation
Boulevard, parking was reduced on the south side of the Aviation Boulevard and added
on the opposite side. The City Council directed staff to study moving the left turn pocket
North in order to add the parking back on the south side in front of Mr. Givens property.
Analysis: •
The total cost for moving the left turn pocket to the north side is approximately
$7,500.00. The work will entail sandblasting the existing striping, repainting new striping,
redoing the loop detectors and moving the signal heads to the right position. This work
does not include slurry to insure proper striping. The cost of the slurry of the intersection
is approximately $10,000. The resulting overall impact to parking will remain the same.(
loss of 4 parking spaces).
Staff is recommending that the existing striping remain as it has been placed. One option
which allows additional parking for Mr. Givens is to remove existing curb and extend the
existing driveway at Mr. Givens parking lot. This will allow parking on the drive
approach similar to the residential driveway permits. This option will add three exclusive
parking spaces for Mr. Givens.

Honorable Mayor and Members of

Regular Meeting of
October 10, 1995
TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT AVIATION BLVD. AND OCEAN AVENUE:
REQUEST BY BUSINESS OPERATORS TO REMOVE LEFT TURN POCKETS
Purpose:
To provide information for the City Council to review concerning the request of the business
operators.
Background:
The installation of the signal generally has been well received by the businesses in the area. I
believe that many residents that are on either side of Aviation also find it easier to leave their
neighborhoods.
The problem developed when the red curbs were installed in order to accommodate the left turn
lanes for east and west bound traffic turning on to Ocean Avenue. The red curbs eliminated
parking in front of businesses located on a portion of the south side of Aviation Boulevard. The
businesses located east of Ocean Avenue on the south side lost four spaces. These businesses have
only limited off-street parking in two small lots. There were also two spaces removed west of
Ocean Avenue. This building has several businesses and an off-street parking lot. The businesses
have stated that the loss of this on -street parking has had a negative impact on customers coming to
their stores.
I have attached a copy of a letter that has been provided to business operators in the area. The
letter includes reports from traffic engineering and a drawing showing the impacted area and the
number of spaces added to offset the loss of parking in the areas necessary to accommodate the left
turn lanes.
It is clear that if the left turn lanes remain, then the parking could not be restored where it existed
before. If the City Council wishes to grant the request and remove the left turn lanes, it can do so.
The City has a certain amount of immunity from liability when it makes a legislative determination
on an issue like this. It is important to review the material that is attached and then make a
decision on the request.
Recommendation:
Review the request from Aviation Boulevard businesses and make a determination on whether or
not the left turn lanes should be modified or removed.

Dear Eddie:
Civic Center, 1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, California 90254-3885
I have attached some information concerning the left turn pockets and the resulting loss of on -
street parking. I believe that it is a good idea to present all of the options to you and all the
other property owners and business operators prior to making any additional changes.
It appears that the present red curbing now results in no loss of parking. Certainly, the
replacement parking spaces are not as useable for some of the businesses. Probably, the most
difficult spot is the southeast corner of Aviation and Ocean (Mr. Given's building). It is not
possible to add any more on -street parking near the intersection with the left turn pockets.
A letter is attached concerning left turn pockets by the traffic engineer that designed the signal.
Also attached is a memo from Ed Ruzak & Associates, the City's Traffic Engineer. He is
responding to several questions that we raised about the left turn lanes.
I believe that this information will be helpful to you and the other business and property owners
in the area as to why the lanes were included. I would be happy to meet with you so that we
can go over the information and perhaps craft a proposal that will be somewhat workable for
the businesses in the area.
Sincerely,
Stephen R. Burrell

SUBJECT: AVIATION BOULEVARD AND OCEAN DRIVE, CHANNELIZATION
Dear Ms. Amirani:
Our firm prepared the plans for the installation of a traffic signal and related striping at
the intersection of Aviation Boulevard and Ocean Drive. While our initial plan did not
include left turn channelization on Aviation Boulevard, this feature was added at the
request of the City. We agree with the City's decision to provide left turn channelization
with the signalization to increase the safety of the street.
The left turn channelization provides a refuge arca for left turning vehicles. This
reduces the potential for rear -end type collisions. In addition, it provides for increased
capacity and smoother traffic flow by reducing the potential for lane blockage. The
installation of the signal provides an opportunity for drivers to turn left during the signal
change or yellow interval. As a result, there tends to be an increase in left turns. This
further supports the desirability of left turn channelization. With few exceptions, left
turn channelization is normally installed as a part of signalization. While some on -street
parking may be lost, the safety benefits arc felt. t� offset this loss.

The signal installation included a restriping of Aviation
Blvd to provide separate left turn lanes for eastbound and
westbound directions.
The left turn pockets are needed in order to avoid a
dangerous condition that would exist at the signal without them.
Westbound traffic on Aviation is high speed and comes around
a curve that has limited sight distance. Further, the westbound
direction is downhill.
Any driver stopped in the through lane while trying to make
a left turn runs the risk of being rear ended. Likewise a driver
westbound may have to take evasive action to avoid the stopped
left turner resulting in a loss of control type accident.
The eastbound left turner stopped in the through lane runs
the serious rear end risk of being struck by eastbound vehicles
that are accelerating up the hill from PCH. The driver on the
uphill curve also has limited sight of stopped vehicles in the
through lane.
Vehicles making turns out of Aubrey Court, the shopping
Center or motel driveways that wish to _go east must accelerate
into traffic while watching out for westbound and eastbound
through traffic. They do not need to have another fixed obstacle,
i.e. a stopped vehicle in the through lane to impede their
progress or to create a safety hazard for them.
Removing the left turn lanes and prohibiting .the left turns
in both directions is not feasible and would contribute to
safety problems on adjacent streets. The eastbound left turning
drivers would then have to turn at Bonnie Brae and Aviation.
This would be a horrible situation in that drivers
accelerating up the hill would not expect a stopped vehicle just
after a traffic signal.
With a prohibited eastbound left turn, drivers would have to
turn left at Aubrey court to enter Montgomery Street. They
couldn't do so at Ocean. This is an existing problem accident
location that is entirely too close to the shopping center
driveway and PCH. Congestion would occur and safety would be
jeopardized.
Without the left turn lanes and with the turn prohibitons
traffic would have to use other residential streets and travel
longer distances along these streets to reach their destination.
This is exactly what the citizens of Hermosa Beach do not want.
They have repeatedly through questionnaires and public hearings
told us they do not want one way streets and restricted turns to
control their access.

Option One - Remove Left Turn Pockets
A. Allow Left Turn
The left turn channelization provides a refuge area for left turning
vehicles. This reduces the potential for rear -end type collisions.
Removal of the left turn pockets will greatly diminish the safety
factors of this particular intersection since westbound traffic on
Aviation is high speed and comes around a curve that has limited
sight distance.
B. Prohibit Left Turn
This option is not feasible and would contribute to safety problems
on adjacent streets. This option would create a traffic problem on
addict residential streets.
C. Prohibit Left Turn at Peak Periods
This option is not feasible. The eastbound left turning drivers
would have to turn at Bonnie Brae and Aviation. Bonnie Brae
intersection is too close to the subject signal and drivers
accelerating up the hill would not expect a stopped vehicle just
after a traffic signal.
Option Two - Leave Left Turn Pockets
The left turn channelization provides for safety and reduces
potential rear -end accidents. The installation of the pockets
provides an opportunity for drivers to turn left during the signal
change or yellow intervals. This is most common when installing
new signals. With few exceptions, left turn channelization is
normally installed as part of signalization. While some street
parking may be lost, the safety benefits are felt to offset this loss.
Option Three - Work on providing additional parking
The Public Works department has worked with the businesses to
provide as much on street parking as possible and will continue to
do so in the future. Some of their efforts include:
New parking spaces created:
1. Remove existing red curb and created 2 parking spaces
eastbound Aviation east of Bonnie Brae.
2. Removed existing red curb to create two additional parking
spaces eastbound Aviation just east of Ocean Drive.
3. Remove existing red curb and created two additional
parking spaces eastbound Aviation just west of Prospect.
TOTAL PARKING SPACES CREATED: 6
Existing parking spaces removed
4. Possible four spaces eastbound Aviation just east of Ocean
Drive.
5. Two spaces eastbound Aviation just west of Ocean Drive.

ADOPTION OF ALL RESOLUTIONS NECESSARY TO PLACE A
PROPOSED UTILITY USERS TAX INCREASE ON THE BALLOT AT A
SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE CONSOLIDATED WITH THE
TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1996 STATEWIDE PRIMARY ELECTION
Recommendation:
The following resolutions pertain to the submittal to the voters of a measure relating to a Utility
Users Tax (UUT) increase at a Special Municipal Election to be consolidated with the March 26,
1996 Statewide Primary Election. Pursuant to previous Council direction, they are presented this
evening for Council consideration and adoption. The first resolution, which proposes the UUT
increase, should be considered and acted on by Council first, before the others. If the resolution
proposing the measure is adopted, the remaining resolutions pertaining to the calling of an
election for the UUT ballot measure may be acted on.
1. RESOLUTION NO. 95-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, PROPOSING AN INCREASE IN THE UTILITY USERS TAX
IMPOSED PURSUANT TO ARTICLE VI OF CHAPTER 30 OF THE CITY'S
MUNICIPAL CODE FROM SIX PERCENT TO EIGHT PERCENT OF THE
CHARGES MADE FOR TELEPHONE, ELECTRICITY, GAS, WATER AND CABLE
TELEVISION SERVICES
Requires a two-thirds vote of City Council, which is four affirmative votes.
2. RESOLUTION NO. 95-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, CALLING AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE HOLDING OF A
SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION ON TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1996, FOR THE
SUBMISSION TO THE QUALIFIED VOTERS OF A PROPOSED ORDINANCE
3. RESOLUTION NO. 95-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY
1
s
OF LOS ANGELES TO CONSOLIDATE A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO
BE HELD ON TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1996, WITH THE STATEWIDE PRIMARY
ELECTION TO BE HELD ON THE DATE PURSUANT TO SECTION 10403 OF THE
ELECTIONS CODE
4. RESOLUTION NO. 95-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, SETTING PRIORITIES FOR FILING WRITTEN ARGUMENTS
REGARDING A CITY MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED AT THE SPECIAL
MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1996, AND
DIRECTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AN IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
Optional, but if adopted, must be adopted at this Meeting! Prior to adoption, designate
which Councilmember will write argument.
5. RESOLUTION NO. 95-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, PROVIDING FOR THE FILING OF REBUTTAL ARGUMENTS FOR
A CITY MEASURE SUBMITTED AT THE SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO
BE HELD TUESDAY, MARCH, 1996
Optional, but if adopted, must be adopted at this meeting.
6. RESOLUTION NO. 95-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, FIXING THE COMPENSATION TO BE RECEIVED BY THE CITY
CLERK FOR THE SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION OF MARCH 26, 1996
Pursuant to the City's Municipal Code, the Clerk's compensation must be fixed by
resolution. It has been traditional for the City Clerk to receive extra compensation during
all election periods due to the tremendous impact an election has on the normal workload
of the Clerk's office. The amount of time necessary to perform the duties required for a
consolidated election is at least 50 percent above what is normally required of the part-
time City Clerk. The traditional extra monthly compensation for consolidated elections
has been half of the Clerk's monthly salary ($745.75).
Background:
At its meeting of October 10, 1995, the City Council directed the City Clerk to return to Council
as soon as possible with the appropriate documents to consolidate a ballot measure for an
additional two -percent Utility Users Tax with the Statewide Primary Election of March 26, 1996.
2
The attached resolution and ordinance proposing the UUT increase were drafted by the City
Attorney's office. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53723, the resolution must be adopted
by two-thirds of the entire membership of the City Council (i.e., with four affirmative votes).
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53724, the ordinance must then be approved by a majority
of the electorate.
With regard to the City's Utility Users Tax, at its meeting of October 24, the City Council
introduced an ordinance that will terminate the four -percent portion of the UUT which had been
established as a special tax to pay for the acquisition and financing by the City of the railroad
right-of-way (greenbelt). That ordinance, which is on tonight's agenda for adoption, will take
effect December 14, 1995 (30 days after adoption), thus reducing the UUT from the current ten
percent to six percent well before the March election. The proposed ordinance (ballot measure)
will increase the remaining UUT by two -percent, from six percent to eight percent.
Based on a County estimate of $16,000 for their cost involved with placing this measure on the
ballot, the total cost to the City for this special election should be about $20,000 (includes
consultant costs, Clerk's compensation, and all supplies and noticing expenses).

Re: FirstNIGHT® shuttle costs
TITPRITR-1T1'
NOV 01 1995
F--1--r--s- t N I G H T
1 November 1995
IEIMOSA BEAU!
To ensure orderly transport of our expected FirstNIGHT® crowd, to reduce traffic
and parking congestion, and to minimize negative impact on the city of Hermosa Beach
due to a large flow of people, FirstNIGHT® will arrange shuttle service from the Mira
Costa High School parking lot to various drop-off and pick-up points on New Year's Eve.
Specifically, we shall arrange for four'20-passenger Wave Shuttle vans operating
from five p.m. until two a.m. (moving a total of 160 people per hour); two 50 -passenger
Laidlaw buses operating from seven p.m. until one a.m. (moving a total of 200 people per
hour); and two additional 50 -passenger Laidlaw buses operating from nine p.m. until two
a.m. (moving a total of 200 people per hour).
Thus, we can move 160 people per hour form five until seven, 360 people per hour
from seven until nine, 560 people per hour from nine until one, and 360 again from one
until two. From the size of the Mira Costa lot and surrounding parking, this is overkill.
The purpose for the overkill is to ensure that we can empty the city quickly after midnight
and without incident. Due to bus company minimums, we end up with the overkill during
the heart of the evening.
Cost for the 20 -passenger vans is $20.65 per hour to the City (other users pay
more); for the buses, a five-hour minimum at $225 plus $35 each additional hour plus tax.
4 20 -passenger, 9 hours, 20.65 per hour $ 743.40
2 50 -passenger, 5 hours , 225 + .5% tax 487.43
2 50 -passenger, 6 hours, 225 + 35 + .5% tax 522.60
Total: $1753.43
It is our understanding that use of Prop A money for shuttle service is not
inappropriate (as opposed to Prop C, which may be used for streets) if so determined by
the City Council. We request that the City pay for shuttle costs from Prop A funds.
Our thanks for your consideration and for your continuing support.

Regular Meeting of
November 14, 1995
THE "MOBILEHOME FAIRNESS AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE ACT"
AN INITIATIVE FOR THE MARCH 1996 BALLOT
Purpose:
To provide information on subject initiative pursuant to City Council direction.
Background:
The City Council received some information from the City of Carson concerning the
initiative and the impact it would have on mobilehome owners. A copy of the initiative is
attached for your review.
This initiative, if approved by the voters, would prevent the City of Hermosa Beach from
enacting any form of mobilehome rent control. In cities that have already enacted a
mobilehome rental control ordinance, the initiative would gradually remove the
mobilehomes from the local rent control ordinances as they are sold or otherwise
transferred to new owners. The initiative also provides that, for those mobilehomes that
stay in rent control, the park owners may increase the rent by the change in the CPI
without any local government action or review.
The impact on the City is that the City Council would be prohibited from enacting any
form of rent control for the mobilehome park located in Hermosa Beach. Therefore, in
the event that the community would ever like to consider such an ordinance, the City
Council would be prohibited from doing so.
It appears that many of the cities taking a position on the initiative are cities that have
some form of rent control that would be gradually phased out if the initiative is approved.
Recommendation:
Determine whether City Council wishes to take a position on the initiative.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen R. Burrell

AN INITIATIVE .MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED) DIRECTLY TO TEE VOTERS
The Attorney General of California has prepared the following title and
summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure:
1
(Here set forth the title and summary prepared by the Attorney General. This
title and summary must also be printed across the top of each page of the petition
whereon signatures are to appear.)
To the Honocablc Secretary of State of California
We, the undersigned, registered, qualified voters of California, residents of
CouCivil Code, toor City and County), hereby propose amendments to the
CaliforniaCalifocd relating establishment of a rental assistance subsidy for
qualiPoor and needy mobilehome park tenants, limitations on mobilehome park
rent control in lieu thereof, and prohibitions of enactment of mobilehome rent control
measures by the State and by local charter and general law cities and counties, and
petition the Secretary of State to submit the same to the voters of California for their
adoption or rejection at the next succeeding general election. The proposed statutory
amendments (full title and text of the measure) read as follows:
SECTION 1: TITLE
This Measure shall be known and referred to as "The Mobilehome Fairness
and Rental Assistance Act."
SECTION 2: FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS OP PURPOSE
The People of the State of California find and declare as follows:
(a) Some tenants of mobilehome spaces in mobilehome parks in California arc
poor and needy and are urgently in need of rental assistance, without delays, expense
or red tape which state and local government usually requires for the administration of
rental assistance programs; and
(b) Over 80 local governments are spending millions of dollars annually
administering and enforcing mobilehome park rent controls for the exclusive benefit of
owners of mobilehomes which comprise approximately only 5% of California's
housing units with unrestricted controls that are generally not "means tested" to the -
poor, so that mobilehome owners in mobilehemes with an average value of $40,000 to
S50,000 obtain unfair price controls in rent controlled areas at the expense of small
business -park -owners and all the citizens of California; and

e.
; 9-12-95 ;10:04AM ; CITY CLERK
(c) These unrestricted controls jeopardize the existence of affordable
mobilehome park housing for all Californians and jeopardize continued employment
and small business-parkowners' cxistcnce in California; and
f# 2/9
(d) it is a matter of statewide intcres't and concern that local government shall
minimize the People's mobilehome park rent control administrative costs by allowing
annual rent increases equal to the cog oto living, and that local governments shall, on a
space by space.basis, phase out rent control administration upon the sale, transfer or
sublease of any mobilehome; and
(e) It is a further matter of statewide interest and concern to require that
mobilehome parkowners shall grant direct rental assistance subsidies for up to 10% of ,
their mobilehome space tenantswithout governmental administration; and
(t) It is a further matter of statewide interest and concern, to prohibit
enactment of any new mobilehome park rent control or rent stabilization law by any
-local government or by the State of California; and
(g) Requiring the provision of direct rental assistance subsidies by requiring
mobilehome park owners to provide specified reduced rents for the poor, together
with the limitations on most restrictive features of rent limitations which have
adversely affected the availability and supply of such affordable mobile home housing,
is necessary to assure the continued availability of affordable mobile home housing to
the poor; and
(h) The limitation of the rental assistance subsidy provided in this Measure to
not more than ten percent (10%) of the spaces in a single mobilehome park will
provide a reasonable amount of assistance to needy mobilehome park tenants, without
unduly burdening the property interests of the mobilehome park owner; and
(i) This Measure is not intended, nor shall it be construed, to deprive any
mobilehome owner, tenant or mobilehome park owner of any constitutional rights.
SECTION`3: AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 1 OF DIVISION 2 OF
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE: DEFINITIONS
Chapter 1 of Part 2 of Division 2 of the California Civil Code is hereby amended as
follows by adding new subsections to Section 798.13, as follows:
798.13 (a) A 'tenant" as used in this section and in Article 4.4 of this Chapter is a
'homeowner' as defined in Section 798.9 of this Chapter.
798.13 (b) A 'qualified tenant", as used in Articles 4.4 and 4.5 of this Chapter i9

or entitled to receive rental assistance subsidy, which demand exceeds the sums which
, are legally due and owing for rental payments pursuant to this Article, shall constitute
a defense to any action brought by the management of a mobilehome park for such
excess rent or eviction of the qualified tenant from the mobilehome park for non-
•r payment of such excess rent; provided, however, the management of a mobilehome
park may overcome such a defense if the management of a mobilehome park proves
by clear and convincing evidence that the granting to such qualified tenant of a rental
assistance subsidy deprives the management of a mobilehome park of its constitutional
right to a fair return on its property.

CONCERNING FEDERAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS LEGISLATION
I have attached a proposed letter for City Council approval concerning the impact of the
pending Communications Act of 1995. The letter is based on a sample provided by the
National League of Cities. The areas of concern to cities are addressed in the letter.
These are local zoning authority; use of rights of way; local taxing authority; telephone
companies providing video programming and institutional networking.
I believe that it is important for the City Council to express its opinion on these issues as
the City will be dealing with them in the future.

RE: Federal Telecommunications Legjn - URGENT ACTION!
House and Senate Conferees arc meeting NOW to resolve differences between HR 1555
and S. 652, the proposed Communications Act of 1995. It is critical that you contact your
Congressional Representatives as soon as possible on the issues of city concern that are
being considered. The National League of Cities has provided the following suggested
draft letter to use as a guide when contacting your Congressional Representative. City
officials can call the Capitol switchboard at (202)225-3121 to ask for the phone number
and FAX number for their Congressional Representative if you do not already have those
numbers in City Hall. The letter is as follows:
Dear Conferee/Representative/Senator:
I am writing to urge your support for the following recommendations in the
telecommunications conference agreement. We believe that these proposals are necessary
to protect the City of and its citizens from unwarranted federal intrusion into vital
local interests such as management of public rights-of-way,.zoni.ng and taxation. In order
to help me report to our citizens on these key issues, I would very much appreciate
specific answers to the eftbrts you will be making on our behalf.
cal , ming A thority: I urge you to ensure that the final conference agreement
protects the historic and essential zoning authority of local governments. Section 108 of
HR 1555 contains provisions that would permit the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) to preempt local zoning decisions over the placement, construction,
modification and operation of cellular radio towers. S. 652 does not contain this
preemption provision. On the House floor, Commerce Committee Chairman Thomas
Bliley promised in a colloquy to revise the bill in conference to ensure that local zoning
authority would he protected. I hope that you will work with Chairman Bliley on this
important issue and support the conference agreement only if it fully protects (City
Narnn) zoning authority.
I urge the committee to similarly protect local zoning authority over the placement of
Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) antennae. While Section 312 of the Senate bill and
Sections 308 and 310 of the House bill permit FCC jurisdiction over DBS services, the

conferees must make clear that these provisions should in no way be construed to allow
the FCC to preempt local zoning of DBS antennae.
The preemption issue is significant for local govertunents because zoning and land use
are historically and exclusively matters of local concern. The placement of cellular towers
and satellite antennae affects, like the placement of non-communications facilities,
property values, community development and public safety in (City Name). The cellular
industry has managed to provide nationwide service to date without federal preemption of
Local laws. What the cellular industry is really seeking is preemptive Washington.
protection to carry out its plan to install as many as 100,000 new towers to service new
FCC license for cellular and personal communications systems. You can be certain,
however, that our mutual constituents will be very upset if decisions regarding the
placement of these towers are dictated from Washington rather than at the local level.
- There is no reason to give preferential protection to the cellular and DBS industry that
other commercial businesses do not enjoy.
i hts-of- ' y: I urge you to accept the protections afforded to local governments in
Section 101 of the House bill which would ensure local management over the public
rights-of-way and receive fair and reasonable compensation from companies using their
streets. However, the corresponding Section 201.(a) in the Senate bill contains ill-defined
preemption language that would empower. the FCC to strike down or invalidate the city's
laws and ordinances, enabling industry .members to threaten to drag our city attorney to
Washington if we do not accede to industry wishes. There is no reason for giving FCC
such power: courts are always available. There is no need to centralize power at the FCC
in Washington over such inherently local matters.
When the House of Representatives considered the rights-of-way issue, it acted to include
all of the Senate-passed provisions, except for eliminating this broad FCC preemption
authority. I believe that the House provision, taken on a vote of 338 to 86, is a strong
endorsement of the position that state and local government authority in this area should
continue to be exercised without the specter of FCC preemption. and Washington
intrusion.
Local Taxing Authority: I urge you to reject section 402 of HR 1555 which would
preempt local taxing authority over DBS services. This preemption is drawn so broadly
that it appears to even preempt (Ci Nair from imposing property tapes on equipment
and facilities of DBS providers where they have headquarters, billing offices and uplink
facilities in (City dame). The city would receive nothing in return. for the preemption of
local taring authority even though it would provide governmental services to providers
with an actual presence in the local jurisdiction. There is no reason DBS should receive
such preferential treatment over other businesses.
By contrast, S, 652 does not include this preemption provisions and would allow the
taxation of DI3S services exactly the same as other businesses. I support the Senate's
decision to exclude this language from its bill and urge you to similarly reject the House
preemption.
Telephone �'onipanies Providing Video Progran ni ling: I urge you to adopt House
Section 201 (as Section 656 (b) (2) of the Communications Act) governing video
dialtone fees, this provision is more protective of local government authority than its
Senate counterpart Section 202 (a) (as Section 613 (b) (5) of the Communications Act)
because it would require that both a video programming affiliate of any common carrier
and any multichannel video programming distributor pay an equivalent to a franchise fee
to the local government for use of the public rights-of-way.
Institutional Networks I urge you to preserve the ability of local cable franchising
authorities to negotiate for institutional network capabilities (I Nets) and public,
educational and governmental (PEG) access requirements, as the Cable Act currently
allows them to do. These abilities are essential if the city and its individual residents are
to have the ability to be active participants on the Information Highway, At a minimum,
the House bill Section 107 (a) (as Section 621 (b) (3) (D) of the Communications Act)
must be preserved.
I appreciate your attention to these matters.
Sincerely,

CITYMg..2
OF HERMOSA BEACH
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 1, 1995
TO: J. R. REVICZKY, COUNCILMEMBER
FROM: STEPHEN BURRELL, CITY MANAGER
RE: BEACH CITIES HEALTH DISTRICT
4 \�
This is a follow-up to your request for information concerning the hospital district. A
copy of the newspaper article that you mentioned is also attached. As you can see
from the newspaper account, the Beach Cities Health District collects about $1,000,000
per year in property taxes and spends a total of $5,000,000 from all sources. This tax
is applied like all other property taxes, which means that the district receives a portion
of the 1% assessed against all properties in the district. If an agency that receives
property tax no longer exists, then the funds that it had received are distributed to all of
the taxing agencies. This would mean that the County, school, college, sewer and
other property tax receiving agencies would split the amount according to the
percentage of the 1% it receives. It would be difficult to determine how much additional
property tax Hermosa Beach would receive.
Another approach would be for the Beach Cities Health District to continue to receive
the property tax and begin to fund activities that would be under its authority and be of
more direct benefit to the three City governments that it shares boundaries. It may be
possible, for example, for the Beach Cities Health District to fund the cost of all three
paramedic programs. I do not know the total costs of these programs, however, I am
sure that it would be welcome by all of the cities. The cost for the Hermosa Beach
Paramedic Program is around $400,000 per year.
In response to how we could do this, I would suggest that a committee be initiated at
the policy level to determine whether or not there would be any interest from Redondo
Beach and Manhattan Beach. If there is the interest in discussing this idea, then it
seems worthwhile to pursue it with the Beach Cities Health District's Board of Directors.

TUESDAY TUESDAY
October 24, 1995
•
By Kathryn Martin
esidents of the South Bay's three beach cities
are one generous bunch of folks. This year
they're donating a cool $5 million to
charitable organizations within their borders. For
starters, there's $65,000 to the Salvation Army, on
top of an earlier $500,000 grant for senior housing
construction; and other sizable donations to
battered women's shelters, schools, churches, police
departments,' and'neighborhood clinics, to name a
few.
Amazingly, many of the donors are not even
aware of how generous they've been. That's because
the money didn't corne.from personal checks or
payroll contributions, but from public funds: the
revenues generated by the Beach Cities Health
District (BCHD).
The district was created in 1964 for the express
purpose of building a hospital in the South Bay,
with a special property tax assessment earmarked
to pay off construction bonds. Those bonds have •
long ago been paid off, and the hospital, now known
as South Bay Medical Center, is leased to a for-profit
corporation. But like so many government agencies
that seem to take on -a life of their own after their
original purpose has gone, the district continues to
collect nearly a million dollars a year in property
taxes, along with about $3 million in hospital lease
payments. And while many jurisdictions struggle to
keep up their deteriorating infrastructure, BCHD
sits on a.cushy $35 million reserve.
That's. not to say that many of the agencies the
district subsidizes'aren't worthy of support. But
does ii shake sense for a taxpayer entity to be doling
out money to private charities when essential
services -for the county and many area cities are
being slashed to balance budgets?
At the same time, some of the agency's grants
seem at best frivolous and at worst laughable.
BCHD subsidizes a number of classes, seminars and
workshops at South Bay Medical Center on
health-related topics such as stress management,
allergies, child health and safety — in direct
competition with other, nonsubsidized facilities in
the area, such as Little Company of Mary and
Torrance Memorial hospitals, which offer such
programs as loss leaders to attract new business.
Similar programs also are provided by many health
maintenance organizations, without taxpayer
subsidies.
And there+s the matter of the district's recent
$25,000 grant to the 30 -year-old, and highly popular,
International Surf Festival — an event that
traditionally has been able to attract enough
corporate sponsors from within the community to
preclude the need for public fluids.

average. Can this really be the most pressing need
for a government handout?
And it isn't as though South Bay residents are
undertaxed. With home prices in the beach cities
well above the county average, residents already
contribute more than their share of property taxes;
along with surcharges to nine separate special
assessment districts. Next month, Manhattan Beach
residents will vote on a $45 million school bond
issue which could tack another several hundred
dollars onto the bill for a median -priced home in the
city. Other cities are bound to follow suit, as
revenues at the state and county levels continue to
tighten.
With taxpayers everywhere crying out for relief,
BCHD is a legitimate place to look. The agency's
mission, establishing a full-service hospital in the
community, has been achieved. There is no
requirement, or good business reason, why this
facility must be taxpayer -owned and a separate
governmental agency maintained to run it. Both
county and state governments already have
agencies in place to oversee health care operations
within their jurisdictions.
Moreover, the hospital is an asset that could be
used to reduce the financial burden on its residents,
possibly through sale of the facility to the
corporation currently leasing it or to some other
entity. Another option might be to turn over the
facility to the county medical system, with an
offsetting property tax rebate, either one-time or
long-term, to compensate residents of the three
cities who paid for it.
Yes, the district's past generosity to area charities
is commendable. But in this era of tight budgets and
finite resources, there's also something to be said
for the sentiment that charity begins at home.

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 1, 1995
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEPHEN BURRELL, CITY MANAGE
RE: CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE COMPANY - RATE INCREASE
I have attached a rate increase notice that was distributed by California Water '
Service in the water bills to all of its customers in the service area. The service
area includes all of Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and a portion of Torrance.
This rate increase will have a significant impact on the cost of water for City
operations. The overall city water cost is budgeted at $63,678 for the 1995-96
fiscal year. The proposed rate increase would add $12,290 to the City's cost for
using the same amount of water. Our overall cost may drop somewhat when
we are able to fully use the reclaimed water through West Basin Municipal
Water District.
The City Council may wish to participate in the California Public Utilities
Commission review of the proposed rate increase by sending a letter either
requesting additional information on the proposed increase or requesting that
the water company make a presentation to the City Council on the proposed
increase. Perhaps the water company could explain the need for the rate
increase and the rates charged in other cities.
Please review this and let me know whether or not this is an issue that you feel
the City should take a position on. It might be a good idea to have a Council
sub -committee meet with the water company and report back to the City
Council.
