REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY 1996-97 BUDGET.
(a) Overview of Budget Changes - City Manager Burrell cited
some notable changes that were achieved in putting this
budget together, which were part of the effort that began
last year in building a sustainable budget and beginning to
work on allowing for the future in terms of equipment
replacement, compensated absences and the City's liability
insurance fund. He said these things were done due to a
number of changes that were made last year, as well as the
continuing growth in many of the revenue sources and the
continuing economic vitality found in a lot of areas,
including building activity and the number of new
businesses in town.
He said the budget contains no new positions due to funding
limitations and he was hopeful that the City would continue
to see revenue growth so it may be possible in the future
to meet some of the other needs that have been recognized.
He said the State general fund now has a significant
surplus over what was projected, making it unlikely that
any more money would be taken from cities,but he also did
not expect the passage this year of any of the several
bills in the legislature that would begin to return to
cities the funds taken by the State since 1991.
He said other funds accumulated will allow the City to
begin the implementation of the downtown improvement
program, which must start on October 1, as well as a number
of other projects taking place this year, including
undergrounding projects and sewer projects. In addition,
he said the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources
Advisory Commission is working on a program to make some
major park improvements including the Greenbelt irrigation
system, the Clark building retrofit and a number of other
facility improvements, such as restrooms and sidewalks,
which will be funded by the Parks and Recreation fund. He
said once that plan is done, the City will save money in
maintenance costs and staff time involved with fixing
problems.
He said one of the most notable things about the budget is
that funding the crossing guard program is not included,
and if funding is desired, Council should direct staff to
return with a plan to fund it at whatever level Council
desires when the budget is presented for adoption. He said
City Council Minutes 05-23-96 Page 9123
la��
during tonight's review, when they get to the fleet fund,
there is an opportunity for the City to save some money in
terms of the planned purchase if staff receives authority
to make the purchase before the adoption of the budget of
three police patrol vehicles to be paid for out of the FY
1996-97 budget.
There were no questions concerning the Budget Summary.
(b) Overview of Revenue Changes - Finance Director Copeland and
City Manager Burrell responded to Council questions related
to the revenue worksheets (beginning on page 12 of the
preliminary budget).
In response_to a Council questions related to free skating
hours at the South Park hockey rink, City Manager Burrell
said the City would post the hours on signs at the site and
that he would report back on the facility guidelines.
Discussion ensued regarding the Crossing Guard District
Fund (page 31) which, as noted earlier by the City Manager,
was unfunded for the upcoming year. Councilmember Reviczky
reported on the recent subcommittee meeting he and
Councilmember Edgerton had with the School Board members,
who said the School District would be unable to participate
in funding the program for the upcoming fiscal year. He
recommended that Council continue its commitment toward the
crossing guards because he thought it was a necessary and
important service, and suggested that the City commit to
providing one-half of the required funding as was done last
year and directed staff to come back with a proposal
showing how far the money would go and which intersections
would have crossing guards. Councilmember Edgerton
suggested that the City instead simply reduce the number of
crossing guards from 12 to six which would provide almost
the same level of service since some areas have two
crossing guards where only one may be sufficient.
Action: To direct staff to analyze the crossing guard
issue and return with a proposal that designates where the
guards would be, the paths the students would follow to get
to school, and that shows at increments the cost impact of
each of the two options suggested above.
Motion Edgerton, second Reviczky. The motion carried by a
unanimous vote, noting the absence of Benz).
Further Action: It was directed by Mayor Oakes, with the
concurrence of the City Council, that staff also evaluate
the possibility of reallocating to the crossing guard fund
the $6,000 that the City currently pays to the School
District for landscape maintenance of the school grounds.
In response to Council questions, City Manager Burrell said
$1.8 billion will be allocated to schools statewide. He
said each school will get $50,000 and if both Hermosa Beach
City Council Minutes 05-23-96 Page 9124
i
schools are eligible recipients, the School District would
receive a total of $100,000.
City Manager Burrell responded to Council questions related
to the personnel allocation summary (page 38), noting that
there were no changes.
(c) Review of Department Expenditures
City Council - No questions.
City Attorney - No questions.
City Clerk/Administration & Records/City Clerk/Elections -
City Clerk Qoerfling responded to Council questions, saying
that the difference in the FY 1995-96 budgeted government
contract services amount ($51,000) and the estimated annual
expenditure ($70,000) was due to the extra election held in
March, and that the requested $1,200 for equipment in the
FY 1996-97 budget was to replace the old tape recording
system in the Council Chambers.
City Manager - City Manager Burrell responded to a Council
question, saying the requested $500 for equipment was for a
chair.
City Manager - Data Processing - City Manager Burrell
responded to a Council question, saying that the requested
$27,530 for equipment is for computer equipment
replacement/upgrade, consolidating the needs for all
departments, including 10 computers and five printers, some
computer stands, memory upgrades and miscellaneous items
such as connectors, noting it was mainly hardware with a
small amount of software, and these funds would be
available for replacement as needed. He cited as an
example the need for a new printer in the Clerk's office.
City Clerk Doerfling said with the current printer it takes
about 15 to 20 minutes per page to print out an ordinance
or resolution. City Manager Burrell was requested to
provide Council with a list of the requested items.
Prospective Expenditures - City Manager Burrell responded
to a Council question concerning the small funding amount
budgeted for the upcoming year as opposed to last year.
City Prosecutor - No questions.
City Treasurer - No questions.
Community Development - Building & Safety/Code Enforcement
Division - No questions.
Community Development - Planning Division - No questions.
Community Development - Planning Division - Commuter
Express Participation - No questions
City Council Minutes 05-23-96 Page 9125
Community Development - Planning Division - Dial -A -Ride -
In response to a Council question concerning the high cost
of this program, City Manager Burrell said Councilmember
Benz had suggested to him that, at the appropriate time in
the contract with Redondo Beach, the City look at ways to
either individually or jointly provide this service at a
lower cost, noting that the fares do not cover the cost of
the program. City Manager Burrell was directed to come
back with the contract and one of the things the Council
would like to consider is the possible use of taxis.
Community Development - Downtown Business Area Enhancement
Commission - City Manager Burrell responded to a Council
question relating to contract services, saying. the biggest
contract is for downtown maintenance and the shared trash
area contract with BFI. Re the requested $15,000 funding
for advertising, Community Development Director Blumenfeld
said last year the funds were spent on banners, the
FirstNIGHT contribution and the St. Patrick's Day parade,
noting that radio ads were purchased for that. Finance
Director Copeland also responded to Council questions.
Community Development - Planning - Source Reduction and
Recycling Element - City Manager Burrell responded to
Council questions.
Community Resources/Cable TV - In response to a Council
question pertaining to new microphones in the Council
Chambers, City Manager Burrell said the design work going
on includes the sound and TV systems and integrating the
two together, noting that the project included changing the
location of the camera as well. He said the audio/visual
system would be paid by the cable company. Finance
Director Copeland also responded to Council questions.
Community Resources - Recreation Transportation - No
questions.
Finance Administration - In response to a Council question
concerning the increased amount requested for conference/
training, Finance Director Copeland said the funds would
cover the additional expense in FY 1996-97 of school
tuition for one of the employees, the two conferences which
are both out of Los Angeles County and therefore involve
travel, sending the accountant for national finance officer
training on accounting, and the chapter meetings she is now
attending. She said the equipment replacement charges are
for the pool car that everyone uses.
Finance Cashier - In response to a Council question
pertaining to contract services, Finance Director Copeland
said the biggest increase here is because last year the
City did no out-of-state processing due to the data
processing system conversion and that next year those costs
will be there but they would be offset by associated
City Council Minutes 05-23-96 Page 9126
revenue. She said the other major item in this account is
the City's DMV records retrieval which are now regularly
processed since the computer conversion. Mayor Oakes
suggested that a breakdown be included next year since this
is a question that arises with each budget review.
Bus Pass Subsidy - No questions.
The meeting recessed at the hour of 8:48 P.M.
The meeting reconvened at the hour of 9:01 P.M.
Fire Department - Fire Chief Bonano responded to a Council
question, saying the funding for contract services was the
department's share of the cost of computer maintenance at
the Police --Department, which includes radio maintenance.
Police Chief Straser responded to additional questions
relating to that contract. In response to a Council
question regarding overtime funding, Fire Chief Bonano said
although it is difficult to estimate what injuries may
arise under workman's compensation, the amount requested
was enough to cover vacations and normal sick leave use,
noting that a large part of last years increase was for
sending an individual for paramedic training. Finance
Director Copeland discussed the handling of mutual aid
reimbursements, such as assistance during the Malibu fires,
which offset the cost, saying the reimbursement goes back
into the overtime account if it is the exact amount. City
Manager Burrell said it is very seldom that the
reimbursement comes during the same fiscal year that the
assistance took place, and pointed out there is no
reimbursement with assistance to Manhattan Beach or Redondo
Beach, for example. He added that the accounting documents
are considerably more detailed than the budget, which
simply shows total figures.
General Appropriations - No questions.
Personnel Department - In response to a Council question,
Personnel Director Blackwood said the cost for medical
exams is up because they are anticipating reserve programs
in the Fire Department and required physicals, noting that.
medical exams for all employees come out of this budget.
He also said a lot of the conference funding would be to
provide in-house conference training for employees
AOMD Emission Control Program - Finance Director Copeland
responded to Council questions.
Auto/Property/Bonds - No questions.
Liability Insurance - Personnel Director Blackwood
responded to Council questions.
Unemployment Insurance - No questions.
Workers' Compensation - No questions.
City Council Minutes 05-23-96 Page 9127
Police Department (General Fund) - In response to a Council
question regarding contract services, Police Chief Straser
said one-third was for hardware, one-third was for software
and one-third was for miscellaneous items. Mayor Oakes
requested that all contract services be broken down next
year or at mid -year review. Responding to further
questions, Police Chief Straser said the equipment less
than $500 included an ID kit, binoculars, and a tape
recorder, and the higher cost equipment included replacing
radios used by detectives and computer software which
allows police to make facial images of suspects. Regarding
increased ovevtime costs, he said it was partly due to
downsizing to five service officers, and that the rest is
for special events which is reimbursed to the City on the
revenue side which balances those costs out.
Discussion ensued on overtime costs for both police and
fire and whether they are to the point where it would pay
to hire additional personnel. Fire Chief Bonano said the
Fire Department would have to hire one person per shift,
and that although the short-term budget would go down, as
the new people acquire vacation time or get sick or
injured, the overtime numbers would go up again. City
Manager Burrell said he would look into the threshold for
the Fire Department, pointing out, as the Fire Chief noted,
that it would require hiring three people for that
department. He said he would also look into the issue with
regard to the Police Department, noting that in addition to
events, the increase in overtime costs is also due to
recent wage increases.
Police Department (Grant, Office of Traffic Safety) - No
questions.
Police Department - Parking Enforcement/Animal Control -
City Manager Burrell responded to Council questions.
Police Department - Special Investigations Unit - Police
Chief Straser responded to Council questions, saying the
equipment item concerns a police records system which will
be before Council at its regular meeting of May 28.
Public Works - Administration & Engineering/Parks Division
- Public Works Director Amarani responded to Council
questions, saying that the $25,000 equipment figure is for
playground equipment at various locations, and the increase
in materials and supplies is because eight divisions have
been combined into five.
Public Works - Building Maintenance Division - No
questions.
Public Works - Street Lighting Division/Medians Division -
No questions.
City Council Minutes 05-23-96 Page 9128
Public Works - Sewers/Storm Drain Division - In response to
Council questions concerning equipment and equipment
replacement, City Manager Burrell said the $14,750
equipment amount is for a jackhammer and a compactor to
replace the one the City has now, an electric power snake,
a portable pump, some generators and other items. He said
the equipment replacement cost of $19,345 includes
maintenance, fuel and amortization charges for the various
vehicles charged to this Public Works division.
Public Works - Street Maintenance/Traffic Safety Division -
Finance Director Copeland said the $18,000 equipment cost
is for the purchase of a sidewalk grinder. Public Works
Director Amirani said the grinder will significantly reduce
the otherwise time-consuming job of replacing concrete. At
the request of Council, City Manager Burrell said he would
supply Council with a list of all Public Works equipment
before the budget is adopted.
Public Works - Equipment Service Division - City Manager
Burrell said this is a new fund, that includes all the
mechanics and all automobile related costs, including the
amortization of vehicles so that funds are set aside and
available to replace vehicles when their useful life is
expended. He said a lot of items are estimates, and that
the fund was designed to be flexible, that equipment
replacement works on a revolving basis. He said there is a
good opportunity to make this self -funding in the future.
The meeting recessed at 9:45 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 9:52 p.m.
.City Manager Burrell said ordering the three police
vehicles now would save the City a considerable amount of
money.
Action: To authorize the issuance of a purchase order at
this time for three 1996 Chevy Caprice police patrol
vehicles at a unit price of $18,442 to the specified
Chevrolet dealer in Alhambra.
Motion Bowler, second Reviczky. The motion carried by a
unanimous vote, noting the absence of Benz.
At the direction of Council, City Manager Burrell said he
would prepare a list of vehicle replacement needs to make
it as accurate as possible so that funds can be redirected
to prospective expenditures or to fund the crossing guards
if it turns out that the account is overfunded. He also
said he would highlight the specific vehicles (pages 118,
119 and 120) for Council when the budget is brought back
for adoption.
During review of the Capital Improvement Program, Mayor Oakes
asked that trees on the Greenbelt get pruned this year since
people are sleeping under them. She also said that people
City Council Minutes 05-23-96 Page 9129
generally use the small Greenbelt path east of the large main
path because there are so many chips placed on the main path.
City Manager Burrell said perhaps with the new irrigation
system, there will be a way to not have to heavily chip the path
to keep the dust down. He said staff would return with all the
requested information at the meeting of June 11, 1996.

Shirley Cassell - Hermosa Beach, said she wished to
discuss a check on the check register (consent
calendar item 1.b.); said there were about 1,000
booths at the Fiesta, each paying $400 per booth,
with food booths paying even more; said
subtracting as much as $100,000 for advertising,
the Chamber of Commerce would have made at least
$300,000 and the City gets only $20,000; said the
City should receive more money. (A Chamber
response to a Council question was that there
were 400 booths at the Fiesta.)
(b) WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
1) Letter_from Russ Givens, Roger Bacon and Eddie Talbot
dated May 15, 1996 regarding request for removal and
City funding for removal of the left -turn lanes on
Aviation Boulevard and Ocean Drive. Memorandum from
Public Works Director Amy Amirani dated May 23, 1996.
Coming forward to address the Council on this item was:
Eddie Talbot - 904 Aviation Boulevard, said the
original plans that the group saw for the traffic
signal they had requested did not show left -turn
lanes; said the problem is the parking that has
been eliminated from the south side of Aviation,
which primarily affects properties from 950
Aviation up to Russ Givens' four offices on the
east side of Ocean Drive and the south side of
Aviation Boulevard; said no one was informed and
that the left -turn lanes were put in without the
group's knowledge and did not think they should
have to pay for their removal; requested City
funding for the removal of the left -turn lanes.
Action: To receive and file the letter.
Motion Bowler, second Reviczky. The motion carried by a
unanimous vote, noting the absence of Edgerton.
CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Councilmember Benz asked why a customer service kiosk, which he
said has been on the agenda several times and was approved at
least twice by this Council, has not yet been done. He said all
that was involved was a sign saying something like "how did we
do" so that people can write down their comments and drop them
in a suggestion box on their way out of City Hall.
City Manager Burrell responded that a draft customer service
survey form has been prepared and that people would also have
the option of taking the form with them to fill out later and
mail it back if desired.
Councilmember Benz said with City Hall regularly closed on
Fridays and a holiday on Monday, the day before this Council
City Council Minutes 05-28-96 Page 9132
f
meeting, he had no opportunity to ask questions of staff related
to the agenda packet that he received Thursday evening. He
suggested in the future that there be at least one business day
between receiving the packets and the day of the meeting, noting
that when a Monday holiday occurs, the meeting should perhaps be
postponed to the following week.
Councilmember Reviczky concurred and suggested they look into
moving a regular Tuesday meeting to Thursday or the following
Tuesday in situations where a Monday holiday occurs, as was the
case this past weekend.

noting that this meeting would be the only opportunity for
two members of Council to initiate a Council review of an

determined that a review was not warranted, the Council
could dismiss its review and the Planning Commission's
decision would be final, assuming that the appeal period
had expired. He noted that initiating a Council review has
the same effect as an appeal in the sense that the matter
will be legally noticed and brought before Council as a
public hearing.

LEASE RENEWAL AND FEE WAIVER: COMMUNITY CENTER
FOUNDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended by the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources
Commission, Community Center Foundation Board and staff that Council
approve a one year lease renewal and fee waiver for the Foundation for the use
of Room C in the Community Center and authorize the Mayor to sign the
attached lease.
Background
On June 13, 1995 Council approved a one year lease agreement and fee waiver
for one-half of Room C in the Community Center. Last year was the first time
the lease had been approved.
Established in 1984, concurrent with ribbon -cutting for the Hermosa Civic
Theater, the Community Center Foundation has served as a fundraising and
programming arm for the theater and rest of the Community Center.
Recognizing the direct relationship between the Foundation goals and the
Community Center facility, the City has historically supported the non-profit
organization through granting free use of Community Center facilities and by
providing a liaison from the Commission.
Analysis
On October 15, 1995 Project Touch vacated Room C due to project
consolidation with other agencies in the Community Center. Now that the
room is no longer shared, the amount requested to be waived is for the whole
office ($3,480 current lease rate).
id
}
Combined with the free rental allocation at the Civic Theater (735 hours @
$25-50 per hour for FY 95-96), the City would be demonstrating a strong
continued commitment to an organization whose sole purpose has been to
support a City facility and its programs.
Fiscal Impact FY 1996-97: Estimated Subsidy $3,480 pending Council
approval of FY 1996-97 lease rates.

TAXICAB FARE INCREASE REQUEST BY YELLOW CAB COMPANY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve taxicab meter rate increase $.20 per mile, and $4.00 per hour waiting time.
BACKGROUND
The South Bay Yellow Cab Company Cooperative has asked that The City of Hermosa
Beach grant the above taxicab fare increases effective July 1, 1996. There has not been a
fare increase in the South Bay area since 1986. The city code requires that the City
Council review and approve rates for taxicab service (H.B.M.C. Sec. 31.24).
ANALYSIS
There has been steady increase in the demand for taxicab service in the City of Hermosa
Beach. The greatest demand is concentrated in the downtown area. This is a healthy
outgrowth of an active business climate. The competition between taxicab services has
also increased.
Each taxicab trip is equivalent to one less vehicle parked downtown in an area already
facing limited parking. The taxicab service reduces traffic congestion and traffic
enforcement. It allows for safe ridership in and out of town.
The South Bay Yellow Cab Cooperative has petitioned all the South Bay cities for the
same rate increases. The cities of Manhattan Beach and Gardena have already approved
the increase. The item will be before the next Redondo Beach City Council meeting.
Torrance and El Segundo are still reviewing the proposal.
The current South Bay meter rate is $1.90 flag drop, $1.60 per mile, and $18.00 per hour
waiting time.
The increase requested is small: $.20 per mile to $1.80, $4.00 per hour waiting time to
$22.00 per hour, with no increase in the flag drop.
Attached is a study submitted by the South Bay Yellow Cab Cooperative titled: The Case
for a Taxi Fare Increase in the South Bay.

THE CASE FOR A
TAXI FARE INCREASE
IN THE SOUTH BAY
Taxi fares have not been raised in the South Bay Area since 1986. In those 10 years since
the fares were last increased many things have changed, necessitating a new fare increase.
First, costs of all items have risen significantly and revenues from fares have not kept pace.
Second, fares in other cities have risen, leaving fares in the South Bay lower than those in
comparable cities. Third, new permits have been authorized by many cities in the South
Bay and many new cabs are entering the market. This spreads the revenue of the market
among existing operators. Thus, the taxi industry has commissioned this report to request
of the City an increase of the fare from $1.60 to $1.80 per mile, and an increase in the
waiting time rate from $18 to $22 per hour. No change is sought for the flag drop. The
case is elaborated below.
Fares Have not Kept Pace with Inflation
Inflation can be illustrated in several ways:
• The Consumer Price Index
• The Transportation Price Index
• Direct costs incurred by the local industry
General Inflation
The Consumer Price Index measures overall inflation in the general national economy. In
making the case for a fare increase, it's impact is felt primarily by the taxi drivers who are
d_ collecting the same fares that they were in 1986, but who have to pay more for their cost
of living. This impact is also felt by management. Inflation has eroded their real revenue,
l_ that revenue adjusted for inflation, making it more difficult to survive as a taxi driver. The
results of this vary. In some cases, the drivers simply absorb the inflation and have a
difficult time maintaining their standard of living. Other operators are driven from the
41_ market. These are most likely to be long term, professional drivers who seek better paying
work elsewhere. This leaves less experienced, less professional drivers in the market.
Though difficult to prove, this can cause a decrease in the quality of service.
In 1986 the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 109.6 (1982-1984 —100) and in November of
dl._ 1995 the CPI was 153.6. The chart below illustrates the impact of inflation on revenue,
using the CPI and a per mile fare of $1.60.
1
a
a
The chart to the left shows that the
revenue from the same trip today,
compared with that in 1986 yields only
71.4 percent of real revenue. In other
words, today $1.60 buys what $1.14
bought in 1986.
The chart to the left illustrates the
impact of inflation on revenue, using
the CPI and a waiting time charge of
$18 per hour. Today $18 buys what
$12.85 bought in 1986.
Transportation Inflation
The Transportation Price Index (TPI) shows
how transportation costs have risen. In
1986 the TPI was 1.030 (1982-1984
—100). In 1995 it was 1.363. Not only are
drivers receiving less real revenue, but
their costs to operate have increased,
cutting into their revenues even further.
The adjacent chart compares transportation
costs today with those in 1986. Another
way to state this is that transportation costs
have gone up by 36 percent. In order to
cover operating costs, the industry now has
to spend $2.18 to pay for the same
expenses (vehicles, maintenance, fuel, etc.)
that cost $1.60 in 1986.

The chart to the left shows the impact of

Direct Costs to the Local Industry
i The previous chart uses the national Transportation Price Index. Another way of
t
examining cost increases is too look at some of the direct costs that the industry incurs.
For these selected cost items, the increases identified present a more accurate picture than
an aggregate of general transportation costs nationwide. The following table shows some
of the increases in costs that the industry has faced.

AVERAGE COSTS OF SELECTED MAJOR EXPENDITURES: 1986 TO 1996
In addition to these rising costs, many taxis today have data terminals and data radios
which they didn't have in 1986. These cost about $1,000 per vehicle.
Some of these costs are incurred by the drivers, while others are incurred by the fleet
management. In order to manage the taxi fleets effectively, more revenue is needed to
cover the costs of dispatching, maintenance and administrative work.
Fares in Other Cities
While the fare in the South Bay has remained constant since 1986, the fares in other cities
have risen. Orange County and San Franciscoghe table on livinand make or the

San Francisco raised its fare in 1991. It is noteworthy that taxi rides in San Francisco
typically have a much higher paid/mile ratio than in the South Bay. Many rides in San
Francisco are initiated with the passenger hailing a cab at the curbside, whereas in Los
Angeles, the majority of rides begin with a phone call. This is why the lower flag drop rate
makes sense there. Moreover, since the geographic area that drivers in the South Bay have
to cover is much larger, more of their time is spent driving to pick up customers and return
from trips (deadheading). Orange County raised 'its fare to $1.80 in 1995. The hourly wait
time fare is higher in both Orange County and San:Francisco.
New Cabs in the Local Market
Within the last two years, two new taxi companies have begun operations in the South
Bay. In addition, the City of Los Angeles has granted permits for an additional 750 cabs.
Several Los Angeles cab companies have operated in the South Bay for many years. With
the increased competition in Los Angeles, these operators will become more active in the
South Bay. While some of these new drivers may seek new, untapped markets, many will
gravitate to existing markets that have been proven by the industry. This will spread
existing markets among more drivers, yielding less revenue for all drivers. In order to
compensate for this, a fare increase is needed. The industry believes that between $1.60
per mile and $1.80 per mile the demand is highly inelastic. The industry also believes that
at waiting time rates between $18 and $22 per hour demand is highly inelastic. Thus, the
increase is unlikely to result in fewer taxi trips taken.

Expected Results of the Requested Fare Increase
The following table illustrates the impact on revenues as a result of a fare increase of $.20
per mile as compared with inflation. It assumes waiting time charges of 10 percent of the
total. (The industry estimates that waiting time revenues average slightly under 10 percent
at $18 per hour and $1.60 per mile.)
INCREASED REVENUE WITH A FARE INCREASE OF $.20 PER MILE AND $4 PER HOUR
This table shows an increase of just 11 percent for an average trip, which is about 4 miles
long. We can also see that for very short trips, the increase is minimal. The proportional
increase goes up with medium length trips, but flattens out as the trip lengthens. A trip of
100 miles in length would only yield 13.3 percent more revenue than the current fare. At
the new fare, about half of the trips will yield an increase in revenue of Tess than 11
percent.
The first chart on the following page compares the value of the proposed per mile fare
increase, with the value of the fare in 1986. It is adjusted for inflation with both the
Consumer Price Index and the Transportation Price Index.

It can be seen that the fare increase will still not keep pace with inflation that has occurred
since 1986. The $.1.80 fare will only be worth about 80 percent of what the fare was
worth in 1986. Thus, the requested fare increase is a modest one.

The second chart on the previous page shows the same information with the waiting time
fare increase. It can be seen that even with the proposed increase in the waiting time
charge, revenues will not be comparable with those in 1986.

The proposed fare increase will put the South Bay on a par with comparable cities.

This increase is needed to maintain and improve the quality of taxi service in the South
Bay. It is needed to keep good drivers and to attract new reliable drivers. It is also needed
to maintain and improve the quality of dispatching, maintenance and overall management
of the industry.

Regular Meeting of
June 11, 1996
' COMMUNITY CENTER LEASE RATES: NON-PROFIT AGENCIES
Recommendation
It is recommended by the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Commission and
staff that Council approve the current lease rate of $.93 sq. ft. as the rate to be charged
through fiscal year 1997-98 for rooms in the Community Center.
Background
Per the deed restrictions on the use of the Community Center property, non-profit
agencies are the only groups permitted as tenants in the Center.
The Commission is charged with setting these rates and has typically done so in 3 -year
increments.
In the past three (3) fiscal years, lease rates have been set as follows:
July 1, 1993 through June 30, 1994:
July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995:
July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996:
$.87 sq. ft.
$.90 sq. ft.
$.93 sq. ft.
Recommendations for various rates have been calculated in the past by researching what
the "going rate" is for commercial buildings (more specifically, older commercial
buildings) in the area and by reducing these rates to account for the non-profit status.
At the April 9 meeting, Council Member Edgerton requested that staff provide Council
with additional information regarding the costs of operating the Community Center and
the associated cost of providing space for non-profit agencies. Attachment A provides a
cost benefit analysis for non-profit tenants that identifies a net return to the City at
approximately $80,000 annually from their tenancy.
Analysis
The Commission and staff recommend that the lease rate remain the same ($.93) for the
next two (2) fiscal years 1996-97 and 1997-98 and then re-evaluate the lease rate at that
time.
The "low end" going rate for commercial buildings appears to be at approximately $1.15
sq. ft. lower than it was three (3) years ago ($1.25). On November 22, 1994 and July 25,
lb
I
1995 Council approved two (2) three (3) year lease agreements at the $.93 sq. ft. rate (per
year) for LA County. Taking this into consideration, keeping the present square footage
rate would be equitable to all tenants.
Another appropriate measure for determining rates is the Consumer Price Index figure
which has risen by only 1 percent as of November, 1995. Looking at the commercial rate
and the CPI Index figures it does not seem to justify an increase at this time.
Staff has given much consideration to the fact that the economy has impacted non-profit
agencies with associated decreases in donations and grant funds and recommends that the
rate stay at $.93 rate through June, 1998. The City has already lost one tenant (South
Bay Coalition) due to their reduced funding levels.
The City and its residents benefit greatly from the tenancy of the social service agencies in
the Community Center. They not only provide vital social services to those in need but
they also provide a vehicle for our residents to participate positively in their community as
volunteers. Attached you will find a list of these agencies.
Other alternatives available to Council include:
1. Reduce/increase recommended lease rates.
2. Recommend that the lease rates be tied to the CPI on an annual basis.

* Please note that the City does not provide any janitorial services for non-profit tenants in

purpose of this analysis, staff has assigned the full 18.41% to the cost center for tenants.
This analysis does not include any assignment of capital improvement costs or building

SUBJECT: Fire Department Overtime
DATE: 06/03/96
MEMORANDUM
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Fire Department overtime is divided into two accounts. Account 4106 Regular
Overtime and Account 4108 FLSA Overtime. The following is an explanation of
the accounts.
Firefighters work a 56 hour work week. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
requires cities to pay firefighters one -and -one-half times their regular hourly rate
for all hours worked over 53 hours per week. Therefore firefighters have an
automatic three hours of overtime built into their work schedules. Since the City
is already paying straight -time for the three hours above the 53, Account 4108
FLSA Overtime is utilized for the half-time.
All overtime hours are computed on a 28 day cycle. The Fire Department every
28 days totals firefighter hours worked. All hours worked over the 53 hour work
week are paid an additional half-time. Once each month the firefighters will
receive their FLSA overtime as a separate line item on their paychecks. It
should be noted that if a firefighter is off-duty from his regular shift due to illness,
injury, vacation, etc. that these off-duty hours are subtracted from the 53 hour
work week. Therefore it is possible for a firefighter to work an extra shift and not
receive the half-time.
Account 4106 is utilized to maintain staffing levels. When a firefighter is off-
duty, for whatever reason, his replacement is paid out of Account 4106 Regular
Overtime, at straight -time pay. It could be suggested that Account 4106 be
called Minimum Staffing since dollars from this account are paid at a straight -
time rate. The half-time will be included in their FLSA computation.
The City currently does not pay retirement for extra shifts worked. Account 4106
was established to pay for extra hours worked which are not eligible for
retirement. Because of this savings it is more cost effective to maintain staffing
levels utilizing current personnel than hiring additional firefighters to fill in the
vacant positions.

June 4, 1996
Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council June 11, 1996
City -Wide Public Right -of -Way Encroachments
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Ordinance No. 96- , modifying the Municipal Code text to
provide a more consistent and more easily implemented set of regulations for
private encroachments onto public right -of wa s and increase the height
requirement to 42". dli a G// S
2. Not add transference of ownership as a stipulation of the code at this time.
Background:
2 -
At the City Council meeting of May 14, 1996, staff recommendation was approved by the
City Council with the following modifications:
Amend the ordinance to require properties with existing non conforming encroachments
to come into compliance when: 1) the non conforming encroachments is removed for
purposes of capital improvements in the encroachment area and property owner wishes to
rebuild in the encroachment area; 2) The property owner remodels at a cost which exceeds
50% valuation. In addition, staff was directed to review the feasibility of including a third
option in the ordinance where the property changes ownership.
The following summarizes the revised elements of the Ordinance:
1. It modifies the definition of a permissible encroachment so as to exclude buildings,
structural elements of buildings and similar "difficult -to -remove" features.
2. It moves various language from sections where it does not belong into existing
sections where it fits better. For example: the language previously in Section 29-
38 which stated that an encroachment permit is a privilege and not a right really
did not belong in that section, as that section is devoted to standards. So, I moved
it to Section 29-32. Likewise, the language that said that an encroachment permit
is not a substitute for a building permit. It also moves from Section 29-40 (a
section that deals with required conditions) language that deals with who is eligible
to obtain an encroachment permit (which is not appropriately in that section
because it is not a "condition" of approval) and moves it to Sections 29-35 and
29-36.
3. It cleans up Section 29-38, and increases the allowable height of fences in that
section from 36" to 42".
4. It deletes the requirement in Section 29-40 that permittees obtain policies of
insurance (except it does not affect the insurance requirement for outdoor dining).
in etre .ks v ri tom, .a0m-6 (vu41,4" a ntev�r�
5. It deletes from Section 29-40 the expiration of permits upon changes in ownership,
and rather allows permits to remain in place (running with the land) until revoked
by the City.
6. It deletes the existing two year term of permits contained in Section 29-44 and
allows the permits to exist indefinitely until revoked by the City.
7 It addresses existing illegal and nonconforming encroachments by allowing
encroachments in existence on May 15, whether illegal or nonconforming, to
continue in place. If no encroachment permit has been issued for the
encroachment, none need be obtained. The encroachment may not be expanded or
increased. The encroachment must be removed if the City requires removal or if
the primary structure on the adjoining private land is reconstructed by more than
50% of the cost.
Analysis:
Staff has researched the feasibility of requiring compliance with the encroachment
ordinance at the time of change of ownership. Undoubtedly, the upside to attaching
encroachment compliance to the sale of properties is that city-wide conformity with the
ordinance will be achieved more quickly. All parties preparing to sell their property are
presently required to submit a Residential Building Report to the City. This report initiates
an inspection of the property by the City of Hermosa Beach Community Development
Department. This inspection checks for building and zoning code conformance and
provides a way of notifying potential buyers of possible city violations before escrow
closes. It is suggested that the Residential Building Report could be modified to also
identify any non -conforming encroachments that exist in the public right-of-way. This
would require Public Works inspection of the parcel. Currently, an average of 30 RBRs
are received every month for inspection, making this a relatively efficient way of checking
for encroachment compliance.
Problems, however, may be expected to arise after identification of an encroachment
violation, when enforcement of the code is ventured. City requirement of the property
owner to bring the property into compliance as a condition of escrow may have the effect
of raising asking prices in the City of Hermosa Beach. If, instead, the buyer is required by
the City to bring the encroachment into compliance, it may create a financial burden that a
new buyer (especially first-time buyers) may not have accounted for. The overall outcome
may be that home sales within Hermosa Beach would be negatively effected.
Enforcement of transference of ownership encroachment codes would also require
additional Public Works staff. The initial inspection of approximately 30 parcels per
month, checking of plans, the processing encroachment permits and performing follow-up
inspections is expected to expend approximately 1000 man-hours per year. This would
require an additional 1/2 time position.

ORDINANCE NO. 96 -
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE HERMOSA BEACH
MUNICIPAL CODE, SECTION 29-38, REGARDING
ENCROACHMENTS INTO THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
AND AMENDING THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 29-31 of Chapter 29, Article V,
Encroachments, of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is amended by
amending the definition of "Encroachment" contained therein to
read as follows:
Encroachments are structures, objects, uses or
landscaping owned by a private property owner and located on or
over adjoining public right-of-way for the property owner's
private use and enjoyment. Permissible encroachments are those
which place a minimal burden on the right-of-way, are easily
removable and do not materially alter the character of the right-
of-way as open space, and include landscaping, fencing, movable
personal property (such as furniture and planters), patios,
decks, landscape irrigation and lighting systems and similar
structures and objects, in accordance with the standards,
conditions and requirements of this Chapter. No building or
structural element of a building (including walls, roofs,
structural supports, balconies, stairwells, and the like) shall
be permitted to encroach on or over a public right-of-way.
SECTION 2. Section 29-32 of Chapter 29, Article V,
Encroachments, of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code is amended to
read as follows:
Sec. 29-32. Permit.
An encroachment permit is required for any landscaping
in excess of forty-two inches (42") in height, and any structure,
object or use which is permitted by this Chapter to encroach on
or over a public right-of-way. The encroachment permit shall be
in a form provided by the Public Works Director and approved by
the City Attorney. Issuance of an encroachment permit is within
the City's discretion and constitutes a privilege granted by the
City as a convenience to an adjoining property owner and not a
right. An encroachment permit is not a substitute for a building
permit or a construction permit when either is otherwise required
by this Code.

Re: Amendment to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code, Section 29-38
in re Encroachment on Public Right -Of -Way
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
RECEIVED
JUN • 51996
CITY MGR. OFFICE
Request is hereby made for reconsideration of the council action of May 14, 1996 approving the staff
recommendation to amend the above. municipal code section, with certain additions proposed by Councilmember
Reviczky.
To provide a more consistent and more easily implemented set of regulations, a date should be set for compliance.
It is suggested that five (5) years hence, or one of the three triggering conditions, whichever comes first, are
reasonable expectations for city-wide compliance.
To permit properties not subject to the three conditions, i.e. capital improvements, remodeling or change of
ownership to continue in noncompliance is eminently unfair. Many properties would never be required to follow the
ordinance. Surely five years is sufficient time for all homeowners to abide by the law.
The council seems to be concentrating on "fences" when many of the violations are caused by shrubbery and trees,
some in excess of 35 feet. Fences remain the same height, but landscaping continues to grow. We would request
that more stress be placed and enforcement increased limiting the height of landscaping in the city right-of-way.
In our view it is time for the council to support this well -crafted ordinance and require full compliance by all
homeowners as delineated above. In the interest of fairness and reason, a stand should be taken to forthrightly
resolve this city-wide problem once and for all.
We respectfully request that a member of the majority voting to approve staff recommendation, as amended, i.e.
Councilmembers Bowler, Benz, or Mayor Oakes, request reconsideration of this prior action.
Very truly yours,

rebuild in the encroachment area; 2) The property owner remodels at a cost which exceeds
50% valuation. In addition, staff was directed to review the feasibility of including a third
option in the ordinance where the property changes ownership.
Analysis:
Staff has researched the feasibility of requiring compliance with the encroachment
ordinance at the time of change of ownership. Undoubtedly, the upside to attaching
encroachment compliance to the sale of properties is that city-wide conformity with the
ordinance will be achieved more quickly. All parties preparing to sell their property are
presently required to submit a Residential Building Report to the City. This report initiates
an inspection of the property by the City of Hermosa Beach Community Development
Department. This inspection checks for building and zoning code conformance and
provides a way of notifying potential buyers of possible city violations before escrow
closes. It is suggested that the Residential Building Report could be modified to also
identify any non -conforming encroachments that exist in the public right-of-way. This
would require Public Works inspection of the parcel. Currently, an average of 30 RBRs
6
are received every month for inspection, making this a relatively efficient way of checking
for encroachment compliance.
Problems, however, may be expected to arise after identification of an encroachment
violation, when enforcement of the code is ventured. City requirement of the property
owner to bring the property into compliance as a condition of escrow may have the effect
of raising asking prices in the City of Hermosa Beach. If, instead, the buyer is required by
the City to bring the encroachment into compliance, it may create a financial burden that a
new buyer (especially first-time buyers) may not have accounted for. The overall outcome
may be that home sales within Hermosa Beach would be negatively effected.
Enforcement of transference of ownership encroachment codes would also require
additional Public Works staff. The initial inspection of approximately 30 parcels per
month, checking of plans, the processing encroachment permits and performing follow-up
inspections is expected to expend approximately 1000 man-hours per year. This would
require an additional 1/2 time position.

Regular Meeting of
@Aoss441- P -1 -44/11 -
June 11, 1996
STATUS OF THE STOP SIGN AT PROSPECT AND HOLLOWELL AVENUES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Receive and File.
BACKGROUND:
Representatives from our Lady of Guadeloupe Church on Massey Court presented a petition to the
Public Works Department in order to consider relocating the stop sign from Hollowell and Prospect to
Massey and Prospect. The citizen concerns involve the difficulty in making a left turn out of Massey
Court due to the curvature of the road and the speed of vehicles on Prospect as they approach Massey
from the north and south.
The City Council directed staff to hold a public meeting to discuss the relocation of the stop sign with
the affected neighborhood and return with a recommendation based on public input. A public meeting
was then held in May 1996 to discuss the ramifications of said report and its recommendations.
Residents from Massey, Hollowell and the surrounding streets were present.
ANALYSIS:
Massey Court is a 20'paved residential street that runs from Prospect to 5th Street. Parking is
allowed on this street making it more difficult to maneuver especially at school peak period. This
street was not originally designed to handle a school site and the school does not have a proper
student drop off location. Prospect is a heavily utilized roadway that handles 12,000 vehicle per day.
Traffic entering Massey Court, continuing east onto 5th street cannot circle around the school onto
Reynolds to get back to Prospect Avenue (Reynolds is a one way street). See Exhibit A.
At the public meeting held on Tuesday May 7, 1996, a majority of residents opposed the removal of
the stop sign at Hollowell and Prospect. It was apparent from the opposition that if the residents were
to choose one location for the stop sign, it would be to retain the existing one at Prospect and
Hollowell. However, as the meeting progressed and other options were explored, a request was made
to simply install another stop sign at Massey and Prospect. A flashing school crossing, additional
school crossing signage and crossing guards, were among other suggestions being proposed by the
residents. The property owners at the corner of Third Street and Prospect Avenue opposed the idea
of installing an additional stop sign at Massey and Prospect since it would then be impossible for them
to back up from their garages onto Prospect (see exhibit B). To accommodate this property owner, it
was suggested that the stop sign be installed only on the northbound lane. This is not a preferred
option since it would send confusing messages to the pedestrians and motorists. A pedestrian
crossing Prospect at Massey Court (when cars are stopped at the northbound traffic) will assume safe
crossing at this location when, in fact, could be hit by southbound through traffic.
The rationale for the stop sign recommendations was given at the public meeting. A majority of the
residents requested that the existing stop controls at Hollowell Avenue remain. Staff has contacted
the City of Redondo Beach to assess the possibility of making Reynolds either a two way street or
change its direction making it easier for traffic circulation.
A critique of each of the ideas expressed at this meeting follows:
Stop Signs At Both Locations
After the Prospect drivers stop at Massey and accelerate they have to stop soon after at
Hollowell ( approximately 100') which could lead to a rear end accident problem. Once again,
the proliferation of stop signs so close to each other will breed the same disrespect as is present
over the entire length of Prospect. Drivers roll thorough the stop because they do not see any
cross street traffic.
No Multi -Way STOP Control At Massey
The difficulty in making a safe left turn in the minds of the users from Massey leads them to
alternative travel options. The first is to travel on Massey toward Fifth Street then up a
narrow alley (Reynolds) to Seventh Place and into Redondo Beach. A better option is to turn
right at Prospect, then immediately turn left at Hollowell Avenue. They would take Hollowell
one block toward Third Street, then northerly to Prospect. In effect this is a somewhat
circuitous "U" turn, but all moves are simple and the out of way travel distance is not great.
Flashing School Crossing
The public was concerned that, if the Prospect stop signs at Hollowell were removed, children
crossing at Prospect to reach the park would be in danger. They suggested a flashing beacon
at the school crossing. Once again, there are warrants for said flashing beacons. They relate
to traffic volume and pedestrians crossing the roadway. In this case, the warrant is not met
due to the low volume of pedestrian activity. Nonetheless, research has not shown that a
flashing beacon reduces the speed along a roadway significantly. It would not be a
recommendation at this time.
Stop Sign Review Policy
Due to the number of requests that Public Works gets from the citizens for studies relative to
stop controls and one way streets, we have developed a policy for handling said requests. It
involves more citizen input on their part prior to embarking on a full engineering study of
condition. In this manner the pulse of the proximate neighborhood is determined before the
City expends time on a full study. The City would still input heavily to the residents' questions
( Exhibit C).
ALTERNATIVE CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Install a flashing school sign at mid block Prospect.
2. Prohibit left turn movement from Massey to Prospect.
3. Install stop controls at Prospect/Massey; retain controls at Prospect/Hollowell.

SUBJECT: STOP SIGN INSTALLATION CONVERSION OF
TWO WAY STREETS TO ONE WAY OPERATION
DATE: 06/04/96
APPROVED BY: AMY AMIRANI, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
OBJECTIVE:
From time to time citizens of Hermosa Beach have contacted the Public Works Department to
request consideration for installation of multi -way (four way or three way) STOP controls at City
intersections. There have also been requests to consider conversion of an existing two way street to
one way operation.
These requests have come to the City staff as phone calls, letters and even petitions from organized
groups. The City has established the following policy to provide the best possible service to respond
to these request and to benefit the affected citizens of our City.
1. The City Traffic Engineer shall receive all requests and determine the "AREA OF
INFLUENCE." This area shall be sufficient to include affected surrounding neighbors. Usually
this will be approximately a one to two block area surrounding the intersection or street where
the request is focused.
2. The City Traffic Engineer will define said area and will use the assistance of the requesting citizen
or group spokesperson to develop a questionnaire for distribution to the surrounding affected
citizens.
3. The questionnaire shall primarily focus on whether the affected citizens are in favor or opposed
to the change. Comments will be solicited with respect to the citizens actual or perceived
problems.
4. The citizen spokesperson or group will then be responsible for distributing said questionnaires. It
is realized that all resident in the affected area may not be homeowners. The questionnaire will
be specific in requesting that the owner of the premises be notified of the desired input. The
present occupant(s) would also be requested to provide input.
5. The results will be sent to the Public Works Department where they will be tabulated.
6. If the results indicate 75% or more of the affected citizens are in favor of the change, the City

POLICY
Stop Signs and Yield Signs
• Stop Signs
The STOP sign (R1) shall be used where traffic
is required to stop except at signalized intersections.
The STOP sign shall be an octagon with white mes-
sage and border on a red background. The standard
size shall be 30 x 30 inches. Where greater emphasis
or visibility is required, a larger size is recommended.
On local streets and secondary roads with low ap-
proach speeds and low volume, a 24 x 24 inch size
may be used.
At a multiway stop intersection, a supplemental plate
(R1-3 or R1-4) should be mounted just below each
STOP sign.
Thenumeral on the supplementary plate shall corres-
pond to the number of approach legs, or the legend
ALL -WAY (R1-4) may be used. The plate shall have
white letters on a red background.
A red flashing beacon or beacons may be used in
conjunction with a STOP sign. See Section 9-08
(Flashng Beacons).
Secondary messages shall not be used on STOP sign
faces.
• Warrants for STOP Signs
Because the STOP sign causes a substantial incon-
venience to motorists, it should be used only where
warranted. A STOP sign may be warranted at an inter-
section
ntersection where one or more of the following con-
ditions exist:
1. On the less important road at its intersection with
a main road where application of the normal right
of way rule is unduly hazardous as evidenced by
accidents susceptible to correction by STOP
signs.
2. On a county road or city street at its intersection
with a state highway.
3. At the intersection of two main highways. The
highway traffic to be stopped depends on ap-
proach speeds, volumes, and turning movements.
4. On a street entering a legally established through
highway or street.
5. On a minor street where the safe approach speed
to the intersection is less than 10 miles per hour.
6. At an unsignalized intersection in a signal-
ized area.
7. At other intersections where a combination of high
speed, restricted view, and accident record indi-
cates a need for control by the STOP sign.
4-39 SIGNS Traffic Manual
3-1987
POLICY
A STOP sign is not a "cure-afP' and is not a substitute
for other traffic control devices. Many times the need
for a STOP sign can be eliminated if the sight distance
is increased by remofing the obstructions.
STOP signs shall not be erected at any entrance to an
intersection when such entrance is controlled by an
official traffic control signal, nor at any railroad grade
crossing which is controlled by automatic signals,
gates, or other train -actuated control devices except
as provided in CVC 21355, Stop Signs. The conflicting
commands of two types of control devices are con-
fusing. If traffic is required to stop when the operation
of the stop -and -go signals is not warranted, the signals
should be put on flashing operation with the red flashing
light facing the traffic that must stop.
Where two main highways intersect, the STOP sign or
signs should normally be posted on the minor street to
stop the lesser flow of traffic. Traffic engineering studies,
however, may justify a decision to install a STOP sign or
signs on the major street, as at a three-way intersection
where safety considerations may justify stopping the
greater flow of traffic to permit a left -turning movement.
STOP signs should not be installed indiscriminately at
all unprotected railroad crossings. The allowance of
STOP signs at all such crossings would eventually breed
contempt for both law enforcement, and obedience to
the sign's command to stop. STOP signs may only be
used at selected rail/highway grade crossings after
their need has been determined by a traffic engineering
study. Such study should consider approach speeds,
sight distance restrictions, volumes, accident records,
etc. This application of STOP signs should be an interim
use period during which plans for lights, gates or other
means of control are being prepared.
Portable or part-time STOP signs shall not be used except
for emergency purposes. Also, STOP signs should not be
used for speed control.
• Multiway STOP signs
The "Multiway Stop" installation may be useful at some
locations. It should ordinarily be used only where
the volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is approx-
imately
pproximately equal. A traffic control signal is more satisfactory
for an intersection with a heavy volume of traffic.

Honorable Members of the City Council:
City of Hermosa Beach
VIA FACSIMILE
RE: ITEM 6 - PROSPECT STOP SIGNS
I regret that I will not be able to attend the City Council meeting of June 11,
1996. I have been interested in this matter since it first surfaced with the plan
to remove stop signs south of the subject intersection (Massey & Prospect).
Neighbors affected by that proposed change were adamantly opposed to
removal of existing stop signs.
It appears that the true "problem" is the desire of the patrons of "Our Lady of
Guadalupe Church and School" to have protected vehicular turn movements.
The school and church seems to have grown to a level that (during peak times)
stresses the residential streets surrounding it, however, inconveniencing the
neighborhood and commuters is not warranted.
In terms of pedestrian safety, there are very well marked crosswalks within a
short block from the school, adjacent to the park. It was suggested that the
parents start their own crossing guard program if pedestrian safety is in
question.
I concur with the staff recommendation and urge you to "receive and file" this
matter.
Sincerely,
Steve Crecy

Loma Drive Sewer Rehabilitation - Project Update
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Add street improvements to the Loma Drive Sewer Project.
2. Add improvements on Loma Drive from 11th Street to Pier Avenue, Palm Drive
between 4th and 6th Street, 16th Street between Loma Drive and Manhattan
Avenue, and 6th Street between Loma Drive and Monterey Boulevard to the
Loma Drive Sewer Project increasing the design contract by $18,972.
3. Direct staff to assist Southern California Edison and the Loma Drive property
owners in the creation of an Underground Utility Assessment District on Loma
Drive.
Background:
City Council, in the FY 95/96 Budget adopted in June 1995, approved, as part of the
Capital Improvement Program, the design and construction of the Loma Drive Sewer
Project. The Loma Drive sewer had been built in 1934 and has recently been the location
of numerous maintenance callouts. The Infrastructure Management System prepared in
October 1994 delineates this line as a top priority for replacement, mainly due to roots
infiltrating the loose joints of this older line thereby causing sewer backups.
The Public Works Department sent out requests for proposal and in October hired ROX
Consulting Group to prepare the construction documents for the Loma Drive Sewer
Project. ROX's design survey of the area revealed certain other infrastructure deficiencies.
They found the Loma Drive pavement to be in poor condition and in need of
rehabilitation. In addition it was determined that the drainage improvements (curb and
gutter) are incomplete. This leads to ponding and minor flooding of the street and
nieghboring properties in even the smallest of storms. The City has recently undertaken to
coordinate its public works projects so that street and utility improvements are completed
simultaneously. These items should be addressed if a complete improvement is desired.
Resident interest in the project led the Public Works Department to hold a public meeting
on March 13, 1996. An informal survey was distributed at the meeting to examine the
1
desired level of future design efforts. Of the 58 surveys received 71% requested that the
street remain without sidewalks and/or curbs. 64% were interested in forming an
underground assessment district to include utility undergrounding as a part of the Loma
Drive Project even if it had to be financed by the residents themselves. The Public Works
Department has contacted Southern California Edison and they are in the process of
preparing a cost estimate for this undergrounding project so that a per parcel assessment
can be determined. This information should be available within two weeks. It should be
noted that formation of the district will delay the Loma Drive Sewer Project construction
schedule.
Analysis:
Responding to the views expressed by the majority of Loma Drive residents, the Public
Works Department has developed three alternatives and associated costs for sewer and
street improvements on Loma Drive:
Alternative No. 1
This alternative proposes no street improvements beyond repairing those portions
of the street removed during the construction of the sewer line. It keeps street
work to a minimum by requiring the entire sewer trench to be shored. The
estimated trench width for the sewer main would be 5 feet. There would also be
trench cuts for each of the 90 service connections. The street would be left with
somewhat of a patchwork appearance.
Estimated Cost of Street Improvements
Estimated Shoring Costs
Estimated Cost of Sewer Improvements
Estimated Total Cost of Alternative No. 1
$ 112,000.00
$ 100,000.00
$ 220,000.00
$ 432,000.00
Alternative No. 2
This alternative proposes to replace the entire width (24' to 28') of the existing
A.C. pavement along the length of Loma from South Park to Pier Avenue.
Accordingly, shoring of the sewer trench can be keep to a minimum and savings
for the cost of the sewer installation can be expected. This alternative would also
provide a 2' wide drainage swale on each side of the street to intercept storm
water and carry it down the street before it has a chance to enter the neighboring
properties.
Estimated Cost of Street Improvements
Estimated Cost of 2' wide drainage swales
Estimated Cost of Sewer Improvements
Estimated Total Cost of Alternative No. 2
$ 210,000.00
$ 60,000.00
$ 220,000.00
$ 490,000.00 ��
Alternative No. 3
This alternative is essentially the same as the previous one but provides for
drainage by construction of a 4' wide swale down the center of the street rather
than two 2' swales on the edges of pavement. The advantage of this option would
be that stormwater will be directed away from the neighboring properties thus
providing additional safety from flooding. It would also simplify joining to
existing improvements at the pavement edge. This option's disadvantage is due to
the narrow width of the street. Cars will be driving in the swale causing splashing
of nearby pedestrians, vehicles and residences. There may also be slight added
costs attributed to the additional cuts the regrading of the street would require.
Estimated Costs for Street Improvements
Estimated Costs for 4' drainage swale
Estimated Costs for Sewer Improvements
Estimated Total Costs for Alternative No. 3
$ 217,000.00
$ 63,000.00
$ 220,000.00
$ 500,000.00
Although the majority of the residents living on Loma seem not to desire the installation of
sidewalks, if the City Council deems it necessary for safety reasons, the estimated
additional cost for construction of sidewalks on both sides of the street along the length of
Loma from South Park to Pier Avenue would be $100,000.
As the preliminary design and surveys of Loma Drive were progressing, the City was
finalizing the CCTV inspection of it's sewer lines. Video tape of the Loma sewer line
verified it's poor condition. The inspection also revealed three other locations in the
vicinity of Loma that exhibited severe deterioration. The sewer lines on 6th Street, 16th
Street and Palm Drive are in serious need of replacement and should be improved as soon
as practical. If funds are available the replacement of these mains should be bid out in
conjunction with the Loma Drive Project. This would save the City construction costs as
well as reduce the impact construction would have on neighboring residents. If City
Council elects to add these areas to this year's sewer improvement project the estimated
cost of construction for each street would be as follows. Again the question would arise as
to whether the entire street should be improved:
Location Sewer Improvement Costs Street Improvement Costs Total
6th Street $40,000* $60,000 $100,000
16th Street $65,000* $60,000 $125,000
Palm Drive $75,000* $50,000 $125,000
$350,000
* Includes repaving of the sewer trenches
The Public Works Department recommends construction of these street projects in
conjuction with the sewer improvements as most cost effective and least disruptive to
residents. Likewise the preferred alternate for Loma Drive would be for street
reconstruction and 2' wide drainage swales. If an Underground Utilities Assessment
District is formed some of the street improvements (for replacement of pavement over the
utility trench) could be funded through this assessment.
Fiscal Impact:
The FY 95/96 and recommended FY 96/97 budgets set aside $1.1 million for sewer
improvements on Loma Drive and Ingleside Drive. Construction of improvements for
Loma and Palm Drives, 6th and 16th Streets are estimated to cost $840,000.

RECONSIDERATION OF LEGAL NOTICE CONTRACT ALTERNATIVES
BASED ON CITY ATTORNEY OPINION
Recommendation:
Based on the attached legal opinion by the City Attorney, it is recommended that Council reconsider
and rescind its action of May 14 directing the City Clerk to request bids for a three-year legal and
display advertising contract and instead direct the City Clerk at this time to negotiate a three-year
extension to the current contract for legal and display advertising with the Easy Reader newspaper.
Background:
At its meeting of May 14, 1996, the City Council was presented with two legal notice contract
alternatives: 1) direct the City Clerk to negotiate an extension to the current contract with the Easy
Reader newspaper for a specified period of time, as had been done since Easy Reader was awarded a
three-year contract in 1986 following the normal bid process; or 2) Approve the notice inviting sealed
bids and the bid form and direct the City Clerk to proceed with putting the City advertising out to bid
for a specified period of time. At that meeting, the City Council opted for the second alternative and
directed the City Clerk to process a notice inviting sealed bids for City advertising (legal notices and
display ads) for a three-year contract.
Subsequent to that meeting, the City Attorney questioned the validity of the City contracting with any
newspaper other than Easy Reader. The bid process was therefore delayed pending a written legal
opinion. Based on the opinion received today from the City Attorney's office, it makes no sense going
to the City expense of putting the contract out to bid and having newspapers go through the effort of
submitting bids in good faith if the outcome is that the City can contract only with Easy Reader,
regardless of the bids submitted by other newspapers.
Although the last four Easy Reader contracts have been for a duration of one year, the previous two
contracts were for three years. As noted above, the three-year contract awarded in 1986 to Easy
Reader as the low bidder followed the normal bid process, with Easy Reader and Daily Breeze bidding
on the contract. At that time, it was concluded by the City Attorney that the City could award a longer
than one-year contract -- that annual bidding (per Public Contract Code 20169) was not required
because there was not more than one newspaper printed and published in Hermosa Beach. Prior to that
date, the contract had gone out for annual bidding.

You have asked whether the City is required to seek
bids pursuant to the Public Contract Code for publication of
legal notices in light of the fact that there is only one
newspaper of general circulation published in the City. We
believe that the provisions of the Public Contract Code do not
apply and the City may negotiate directly with the one eligible
newspaper.
whenever a legal notice is required to be published in
a newspaper, it must be published in a newspaper of general
circulation. Government Code Section 6040. Government Code
Section 6000 defines a newspaper of general circulation if:
"[It] is published for the dissemination of local or
telegraphic news and intelligence of a general
character, which. has a bona fide subscription list of
paying subscribers, and has been established, printed
and published at regular intervals in the State,.
county, or city where publication, notice by
publication, or official advertising is to be given or
made for.at least one year preceding the date of the
publication, notice or advertisement. II

in the alternative, a newspaper may qualify under
Government Code Section 6008 as a newspaper of general
circulation if all of the following are true:
"(a) It is a newspaper published for the
dissemination of local or telegraphic news
and intelligence of a general character,
which has a bona fide subscription list of
paying subscribers and has been established
and published at regular intervals of not
less than weekly in the city, district, or

adjudication for at least three years
preceding the date of adjudication.
"(b) It has a substantial distribution to
paid subscribers in the city, district, or
judicial district in which it is seeking
adjudication.
"(c) It has maintained a minimum coverage of
local or telegraphic news and intelligence of
a general character of not less than 25
percent of its total inches during each year
of the three-year period.
"(d) It has only one principal office of
publication and that office is in the city,
district, or judicial district for which it
is seeking adjudication_"
A city may publish the notice in the newspaper of
general circulation published nearest to the city if, and only
if, there is no newspaper of general circulation published in the
city itself. Government Code Section 6042.
It is our understanding that only one newspaper of
circulation is published in the City. Thus, the City may

Regular Meeting of
June 11, 1996
PARKING REGULATIONS, RESIDENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM, METERS
ON UPPER PIER AVENUE, HOURS OF ENFORCEMENT CITYWIDE
Objective:
To obtain approval for a proposal to be presented at a public hearing to be set for
Tuesday, July 9, 1996 and to submit program to Coastal Commission for approval.
Background:
The parking regulations have been the subject of several agenda items over the last two
years related to funding the street improvements in the downtown commercial areas,
protecting residential areas, providing consistent levels of enforcement and increasing both
parking meter rates and the cost of parking tickets. The recently accepted parking study
done by Walker Parking Consultants contained a number of recommendations that staff
intends to bring to the City Council over the next year as the work in the downtown
commercial area proceeds, including construction of a parking structure.
The first issue that has been discussed by the City Council has been to increase the hours
of operation of the Residential Preferred Parking Program. This program is in place in the
residential areas east of Hermosa Avenue. The program has been approved by the Coastal
Commission so any modification will also meet their approval. The current program is in
effect from May 15 through September 15 each year. This provides for one hour parking
from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Residents with a permit are exempt from the regulations.
Residents have requested that the time be extended to a least 10:00pm. This would allow
our residents to return from work without having to compete with others for available on -
street parking. This is especially true in areas adjacent to the commercial zones. It is
proposed that this change be implemented for the whole program area. This will prevent
the migration of the parking competition to other blocks.
The second change proposed would be to change the yellow meter program from 24 hour
enforcement to 8:00am to 12:00 midnight. As you know, we do not have parking
enforcement working those hours and the parking spaces are generally used by residents
and their guests. Also, most of the regular users have parking permits.
The third change would be to extend the hours of operation for the commercial meters
(gray meters) to 12:00 midnight. They would then be enforced 9:00am to 12:00 midnight.
This would provide consistency throughout the parking meter area. The parking
consultant recommended that the commercial rates be increased to $.75 per hour. The
City Council considered this sometime ago as part of the overall funding strategy for
building the street improvements. This would help provide an incentive for use of the
parking structure. The timing of the rate increase could be put off, however, the extended
hours should be done now as well as setting a two hour limit.
And finally, the placement of meters on upper Pier Avenue. This was also previously
considered by the City Council. The rates should be set the same as the rest of the
commercial areas, either $.50 or $.75 per hour. The installation of meters in this area will
generate approximately $93,000 to $137,000 per year based on the rate. The area would
remain a two hour limit under this program.
Recommendation:
It is proposed that the City Council review and support any changes and that a Public
Hearing be set for July 9, 1996 to receive input. Staff would, following a decision by City
Council, take this to the Coastal Commission for approval. A general ordinance will be
prepared to provide for the modifications.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: Council meeting of June 11, 1996, item 10, downtown
assessment district
Councilmembers:
If only 55% of the landowners on Pier Avenue are willing to
be assessed for street improvements, don't you think that it
would be a good idea to look for some other commercial
neighborhood where there is a real consensus (most city
councils look for a minimum of 60% before they will set
hearings) and do the improvements in that other
neighborhood?

collection of assepsments and the advance retirement of bonds in
connection with the proposed Assessment District, the City
Council proposes to proceed under the provisions of Part 11.1 of

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
June 11, 1996
PROPOSAL TO PLACE A LIMIT ON ABC LICENSES
IN DESIGNATED AREAS OF THE CITY
Recommendation:
That the City Council provide further direction on proposal to limit the number of ABC licenses in
designated areas of the City.
Background:
Councilmember Edgerton proposed that staff investigate methods of limiting or controlling the
number of ABC licenses in the City. It appears that it is possible for the City Council to regulate
the number of ABC licenses in various areas of the City if they wish to do so. The code
requirements could include either distance or square footage limitations, prohibiting additional
licenses if a proposed license was within a certain distance of an existing license or if a proposed
license would exceed the total allowable square footage in a particular area, block or zone.
Depending on the distance or square footage threshold set, it would be possible to write a
regulation to reduce the possibility of additional licenses.
It would also be possible to develop a Specific Planning Area that incorporates the code limitation
for ABC licenses, as well as other types of uses. Development of a Specific Plan would probably
take over a year to bring to public hearings and adoption.
These two options would seem to be the best way to regulate ABC licenses beyond the
requirements that exist now in the code and the separate rules that the ABC uses. Before the
proposal is developed any further, staff would like to have some specific direction from City
Council on whether or not you wish to proceed. It would take between 90 - 120 days for code
revisions to return to you after being prepared by the City Attorney's office. The Specific Plan
approach would take longer and we would recommend that a consultant be retained if the City
Council wished to pursue that approach.
Recommendation:
Provide direction to staff on whether or not we should proceed with this item.

Re: Council meeting of June 11, 1996, item 11, limit on
alcohol licenses
Councilmembers:
You ordered a staff report about alcohol licenses at your
meeting of February 13. Four months later you have a 1 page
report to consider. At this rate of progress, it is clear
that it could be some time before you could have code
revisions or a specific plan area in effect. On the other
hand, so far in 1996 the applications for new or bigger
liquor licenses have been coming faster than ever in the
city's history, and the horse could be the rest of the way
out of the barn before you are able to lock the door.
Therefore, I suggest that rather than pay staff or a
consultant to write volumes of new code, if you are serious
about this issue, you begin, starting today, to cast a more
critical eye at the "findings" that are a part of each CUP

SCHEDULING APPLICANT INTERVIEWS FOR UPCOMING
BOARD/COMMISSION EXPIRATION OF TERMS
Recommendation:
1. Schedule a meeting prior to the regular scheduled meeting of Tuesday, June 25 (or at an
earlier date such as Monday, June 24) for the purpose of interviewing applicants for the three
Planning Commission terms that will expire June 30, 1996 and the two Civil Service Board
terms that will expire July 15, 1996, with appointments for all five seats to be made at the
regular Council meeting of June 25, 1996; or
2. If Council would prefer knowing beforehand how many applications were received in order to
determine how much time is needed for the interviews, direct the City Clerk to report back at
the meeting of June 25 on the number of Planning Commission and Civil Service Board
applications received and postpone scheduling an interview meeting until that time.
Background:
At its meeting of May 14, 1996, the City Council directed the City Clerk to advertise and request
applications from interested parties for the three Planning Commission terms and the two Civil
Service Board terms, with all appointments to be made at the regular Council meeting of June 25,
1996. Council postponed scheduling a meeting for interviewing applicants to a later date.
A notice inviting applications for the upcoming term expirations will be published in the Easy
Reader May 23 and May 30, with a June 19 deadline for submitting applications. That notice has
also been sent to Multivision and has been posted at City Hall.
If Council desires a report on the number of applicants before scheduling an interview meeting,
the City Clerk will report on that information at the meeting of June 25 and recommend
scheduling interviews prior to the regular meeting of July 9, with appointments to be made at that
July 9 meeting. The new appointees may then assume their seats at the July meeting of the
Planning Commission and the Civil Service Board, both of which are scheduled to take place after
the July 9 Council meeting.
