Honorable Mayor and City Council:
September 16, 1996
Hermosa Beach, until the late 1950's, had a Mission bell hanging
on an iron stanchion located on Pacific Coast Highway to mark
the path of "El Camino Real".
Pacific Coast Highway 101 was officially designated in 1959 by the
State legislature as the official route of "El Camino Real" (the Royal
road). The route extended from Mission San Diego to the
northermost mission in California.
The El Camino Real Association in 1906 initiated the Mission bell
program by placing Mission bells at intervals along the mission
pathway. Being on Hwy 101, Hermosa Beach enjoyed having one
or these historic bells. The bell in Hermosa Beach was positioned
approximately 50-100 feet south of Pier Avenue on PCH, on the
Yr'Gv L Jk va ..:ati- ..iii: Yz . y .
In 1976, the Hermosa Beach Bicentennial Committee in order to fund
its Bicentennial activities formed a Coin sub -committee (John Hales
and Al Valdes) to develop and sell bicentennial coins. A surplus
remains from the monies raised from the coin sales. With this
surplus, we would like to purchase and erect a Mission bell at the
original site. We have located and talked with a gentlemen who in
earlier years produced more than 300 Mission bells for the
program'.
We believe our proposed project would be of historic interest and
cultural benefit to tl residents and visitors to o3:r .cite.
Therefore, we respectfully request the Hermosa Beach City Council
for its approval of the Mission bell project. If approved, we would
like permission from the City Council to work out the details with
the City Manager and the Public Works Department.
At the next City Council meeting, we can present more information
ori the history of the Mission bells. Originally they cost about '
$25.00, today somewhat more.

Please, if you can, change the signs at Pier/Valley/Ardmore
to direct the traffic straight ahead so that most of it will
stay on Pier until it gets to PCH, where it can go northward
to Artesia.
Thank you.

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council September 10, 1996
ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY MUNICIPAL STORMWATER AND
URBAN RUNOFF DISCHARGE PROGRAMS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Continue to retain John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc. to perform tasks and administer the
City's Municipal Storm Water and Urban Runoff Discharge Programs.
BACKGROUND:
The Clean Water Act requires that storm water runoff in urban areas be permitted under the
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). In June 1990, The California
Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, issued an NPDES permit to Los
Angeles County and all of the Cities within the County. During this permit the National
Resources Defense Council (NRDC) filed suite against a number of cities and the county, alleging
that their storm water programs failed to comply with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
Most of these suits have been settled the cities who were sued and the County agreeing to
implement more extensive stormwater programs. This permit expired in June 1995. On July 15,
1996, the Regional Board issued a new NPDES permit to replace the previous permit. This
permit has a five year term and greatly expands the responsibilities and requirements of the
County and Cities within Los Angeles County. The county area has been divided into six
watershed groups and each watershed is participating in the development a county -wide storm
water management plan.
ANALYSIS
The tasks required by the new permit are divided into five categories:
1. Program Management: Sets up Watershed Management Committees, the
Executive Advisory Committee, subcommittees and establishes guidelines for legal
authority.
2. Illicit Connections/Discharges: Cities must develop a model program for the
elimination of illicit connections and illicit discharges to the storm drain system.
3. Planning: Storm water runoff from construction sites must be controlled. Future
development projects must have storm water controls built in.
4. Public Agency Requirements: A model program for the reduction of pollution from
municipal activities must be developed.
5. Public Outreach: A multi media educational campaign, including site visits to the
business community, must be implemented.
le
FUNDING
The City of Hermosa Beach currently has budgeted $75,000 for compliance with the NPDES
Storm Water Permit. It is recommended that $18,000.00 of these funds be authorized to hire
John L Hunter and Associates, Inc. to assist the City in developing the above storm water tasks
and to administer the Storm Water Program.

Dear Ms. Rooney:
We are formally requesting that the City of Hermosa Beach grant us a waiver
of appropriate fees for the special event, "The Green Holiday Fest", which
VOICE plans on hosting in December. This will be a free event, and, as you
know, we are a locally -based, non-profit environmental education organization.
As last year, ,this will be a very festive holiday event featuring many local
vendors' eco -friendly products, plus holiday music, great kid's activities,
baked goods and food, other non-profit organizations and special holiday
treats and raffles. This is a very unique holiday event, and attracted a
good, steady crowd last year, and we plan to expand our advertising to
attract an even larger crowd this year.
Thank you for considering this request and hope to hear from you soon. Our
completed application is also being submitted at this time. If you need to
contact me, I may be reached at 310-372-6129.

RESIDENTIAL WASTE INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT -
PUENTE HILLS LANDFILL
Recommendation:
That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the subject agreement on behalf of the City.
Background:
The County Sanitation District's Board of Directors has approved and authorized the district to
provide the Residential Waste Indemnification Agreement for the Puente Hills Landfill. In order to
be covered by the agreement, the City has to do the following things:
1. Participate in the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Program. We now actively
participate.
2. Require our hauler, BFI, to have employee training programs concerning hazardous waste.
3. Promote public education and disseminate information to residents regarding storage and
disposal of hazardous waste.
4. Enforce all applicable laws concerning disposal of hazardous waste.
5. Once a year, certify in writing that we have done the first 4 items.
The City does all of these things now and, as a result, could make the annual certification
statement. The City would then, in return, receive the indemnification agreement from the
Sanitation District for the Puente Hills Landfill.
If, for some reason, we could not certify that the 4 items were completed, we would not be
indemnified by the Sanitation District. There is little or no risk in this program, as a result, I
believe that it would be in the City's interest to authorize execution of this contract.

40981\1.4.74 INDEM. AGT. 6/24/96
WHEREAS, City has agreed to discharge the duties identified in Section 3 hereof.
WHEREAS, by so doing, City will help reduce the potential for introduction of

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council September 24, 1996
—Lower Pier Avenue Construction Management
Award of Contract
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve award of the construction management contract for Lower Pier
Avenue to ASL Consulting Engineers in the amount of $89,472.
2. Prescribe that the Director of Public Works reject all other -proposals.
3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to make minor changes as necessary
within 15% of the contract cost.
4. Appropriate $102,900 in DEC funds to the Lower Pier Avenue Project for
construction management services.
Background:
The Hermosa Beach City Council, at their special meeting of September 18, 1996, will be
reviewing the preliminary design plans for the Lower Pier Avenue Street Improvement
Project. The Public Works Department, in anticipation of the project going to construction
in January, released a Request for Proposals for construction management services for that
project as well as the Municipal Pier Renovation Project. The RFP included requirements
for Design Review and Public Relations in addition to the more standard construction
management needs.
Staff believes that review of the design by another consultant prior to final acceptance and
bidding will assure the City of the best possible set of construction documents. Problems
dealt with now will allow construction to progress that much smoother in the future. A
fresh look by a different design firm may catch something which may have been passed by
otherwise. Bringing the construction management team on line before the plans are
complete will allow minor design changes to be made which may, through different
construction techniques, save the City time and construction costs.
Because the proposed construction will have an impact on the operation of businesses in
the downtown area the proposal requirements include the implementation of a public
relations campaign aimed at easing difficulties arising there from. It will be the public
relation liaison's responsibility to study the impact that construction timing, location•and
accessibility restrictions will have on neighboring businesses and residents. Newsletters
and Chamber of Commerce/Merchant meetings will keep the effected parties aware of
construction progress and changes in scheduling. Informational posters, newspaper
releases and colorful signage directing patrons to rear accesses will keep the customers
informed. Special events, construction banners and kiosks will help promote an energetic
downtown even through the construction period.
On August 15, 1996 the City of Hermosa Beach Public Works Department received seven
proposals for the performance of such services.. The project teams which responded were
as follows: 1. ASL Consulting Engineers, 2. Dames and Moore, 3. CMI Consultants 4.
Concept Marine, 5. Highpoint-Rendel, 6. Parsons 7. HNTB
Analysis:
The proposals were reviewed for their thoroughness and compliance with the RFP.
Interviews were held with the four torconsulting teams on September 16, 1996. A
conference held after the interviews revealed that though there were aspects of each
proposal and each team that satisfied the review board, one firm fully met the expectations
outlined in the request for proposals. ASL Engineers put together a proposal with a good
understanding of the project goals and an excellent reputation for working with previous
clients. Recently completed City of Arcadia and Huntington Beach streetscape projects
were designed and managed by ASL with good results. The Department of Public Works
therefor recommends award of the construction management contract for the Lower Pier
Avenue Street Improvement Project to ASL Consulting Engineers in the amount of
$89,472.
Fiscal Impact:
It is recommended that $102,900 ($89,472 + 15% contingency) in DEC funds be
appropriated for the construction management of the Lower Pier Avenue Street
Improvement Project(CIP 94-160).

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting
of the Hermosa Beach City Council of September 24, 1996
STATE FUNDING FOR POLICE CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAM
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Use state funding under the Citizen's Option for Public Safety (COPS)
Program for local police crime prevention programs.
2. Approve expenditure request list from Chief of Police and appropriate
$43,000 in COPS funds..
3. Establish a separate supplemental law enforcement service fund (SLESF)
through Finance.
4. October 8, 1996 - Public Hearing before final implementation.
BACKGROUND:
The COPS Program established by Assembly Bill 3229 appropriates $100 million from
state general fund for the 1996-97 Fiscal Year. The COPS Program provides funding for
local agencies for the purpose of ensuring public safety.
COPS is a permanent ongoing program. It will, however, require a new appropriation for
continued funding each fiscal year.
The State Controller shall allocate funds to each county by September 15, 1996. The
funds in each county shall be allocated to cities by October 15, 1996. Each city must
establish a Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) for deposit of the
funds received from the county. Seventy-five percent of the funds will be allocated to the
county and cities within the county for front line municipal police services. Those funds
shall be allocated based on population. The population for the county shall be the
population of the unincorporated area less the population in the eligible special districts.
The funds must be used for front line municipal police services and must supplement and
not supplant existing funding for front line municipal police services. Front line law
enforcement services include anti -gang and community crime prevention programs.
The city council shall hold a public hearing in September of each year starting in 1996 to
consider these requests. Funding will be determined by a majority vote of those present at
the council meeting within 60 days of receiving the request for funding. The city council
must consider these written requests separate and apart from the proposed allocations
from the city general fund.
Allocation Process
Each county must establish a Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) for
deposit of the funds received from the State Controller. The county must request the
funds after establishing the SLESF and an oversight committee (details on the oversight
committeeincluded below). The State Controller shall allocate the funding to each county
no later than September 15, 1966.
Use of Funds
Cities are required to appropriate COPS revenues to fund front line municipal police
services. Front line law enforcement services include anti -gang and community crime
prevention programs. These funds shall be appropriated pursuant to written requests from
the chief of police or the chief administrator of the law enforcement agency that provides
police services for that city. The request shall specify the front line law enforcement needs
of the requesting entity including the personnel, equipment and programs that are
necessary to meet those needs. The revenues shall "supplement existing services" and
shall not be used to supplant, any existing funding for law enforcement services provided
by that entity."
The allocation may not be used to fund the costs of any capital project or construction
project that does not directly support front line law enforcement services. The city shall
not be allowed to alter any previous appropriation by that body for the same fiscal year.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has prepared a needs assessment and request list in order to improve our local crime
prevention programs; neighborhood watch, D.A.R.E. or similar programs. (Attachment
A.)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The appropriation of $42,000 of COPS state revenue funding towards community crime
prevention programs. Moneys in this fund shall not be transferred to, or intermingled with
any other fund in the city. The treasurer of each city shall monthly detail and summarize
allocations from the city's fund in a written, public report filed with the supplemental law
enforcement oversight committee, the city council, and the police chief.

CRIME PREVENTION REQUEST
NEEDS ASSESSMENT:
For many years this department has had limited involvement in a crime prevention
program. This has been due to limited budgets and personnel. The State funds we
are getting for crime prevention can be used to revitalize our program. To increase our
resources and materials to better educate residents and business owners. People of
all ages must be made aware of what they can do to prevent themselves, their families,
neighbors, and co-workers from being harmed by drugs, violence, and other crimes.
Effective crime prevention programs excel because of partnerships among law
enforcement, other govemment agencies, civic groups, schools, businesses, and
individuals as they help to rebuild a sense of communal responsibility and shared pride.

Regular Meeting of
September 24, 1996
Proposal for Study of Daytime Parking Regulations -- 21 st Street &
Borden Street in Connection with Adjacent Commercial Development
To Consider Study of Parking Problems in the 21st Street and
Borden Street Residential Neighborhood in Connection with Adjacent
Commercial Developments
Background:
On August 20, 1996 the Planning Commission considered and approved a proposed auto
repair/office complex at 807 Pacific Coast Highway and directed staff to request that
Council consider initiating a circulation/parking study to examine ways of addressing parking
and circulation problems in the adjacent neighborhood. Several residents complained at the
hearing that on -street parking and increased auto circulation in the neighborhood are the
result of an existing office building abutting the proposed project at 807 21st Street. The
Planning Commission added as a Condition of Approval for the proposed development, a
right -turn -only sign, and a stop sign at the project exit onto 21st Street and discussed the
addition of daytime parking restrictions to reduce on -street and neighborhood circulation.
Analysis:
The following issues were discussed by residents:
• Visitors of the office building at 2200 PCH are parking in the neighborhood rather than
in the parking structure serving the office building.
• Borden Street is a residential street which is used for pick-up boxes for Fed -X and UPS
in connection with the existing office building at 2200 PCH.
• Existing and future traffic generated with adjacent commercial/office uses is creating
congestion at 21st. Street at PCH.
Recommendation:
Based on the above concerns, staff recommends proceeding with the following:
1. Survey daytime parking in area shown on the attached map to determine extent of
problem in residential neighborhood.
2. Provide daytime parking restrictions, if required, based upon area study.

We live at the corner of Manhattan Avenue and 25th
Street. Parking is impacted every week -end, year round,
and every day after 6 PM. Monday and Tuesday, it is also
crowded due the steet sweeping. If we have guests, we loan
them our "guest permit" which we pay extra for. If we have
a lot of guests with multiple cars, we obtain "one -day
passes" for them from the Finance Department.
We are in favor of year round residential parking
permits. The 10 AM to 10 PM enforcement sounds fair.
Thank you for your consideration and for all of the
time you spend trying to make Hermosa Beach the best of all
the South Bay cities.

Hermosa Beach City Council
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
SUBJECT: Changes to Hermosa Beach Parking Regulations
Dear Sirs,
Having lived in Hermosa Beach for 14 years I realize we pride ourselves on our sense of
"uniqueness" and independent spirit, thereby separating our citizens and community from the
surrounding cities. As a distinct community, the city council should govern in a manner which
creates parity for all citizens of Hermosa Beach using public resources. This is not the case with
the Parking Permit system.
Having lived near the beach, I am fully aware of the issues regarding parking and beach access
during crowded periods. With such a valuable resource at our front door we attract numerous out
of town people to our beautiful beach, thereby creating parking access problems. However,
excluding Hermosa Beach residents and tax payers such as myself from parking on our own
streets for more than an hour is not a realistic option! If we are imposing parking restrictions
near the beach, Parking Permits should be available to all residents of Hermosa Beach, not just
residents near the beach.
The current Parking Permit plan uses public resources to create an "elite" area of Hermosa Beach
which is not accessible to other Hermosa residents who need to drive to the beach. As an
alternative, permits could be provided which allow resident parking in front of the residents
driveway. This would free a significant amount of spaces, and provide residents with parking
close to their homes. The parking situation downtown will also be alleviated with construction
of the planned parking structure. Or, in a more drastic move, eliminate the walk streets and
provide parking on the existing public right of way(that would create quite a stir).
Providing special privileges for residents near the beach, while excluding other residents of the
city is unfair and eliminates parity in the use of public resources. For example, when the beach
gets to crowded should we exclude Mr. Benz to make room for myself? when the outdoor
basketball courts get to crowded should we exclude Mr. Edgerton to make room for my
neighbor? when Prospect Avenue gets to busy should we shut it down to Ms Oaks, Mr.
Reviczky and any persons not local residents? when the sewer system gets overloaded should we
eliminate service to Fat Face Fenners to make room for a new business?
parking
page 2 of 2
Obviously the answer to these questions is no. Similarly, we should not preclude residents of —
Hermosa Beach from parking near our own beach! The idea of a Parking Permit is fine and
acceptable if it is available to all residents of Hermosa Beach. In closing I urge you to accept the
following modifications to the Parking Permit program:
1) Make permits available to ALL residents of Hermosa Beach
2) Permit resident parking in front of residents driveways on public streets
3) If these are not acceptable, scrap the Permit program to maintain public resource
parity throughout Hermosa.

ORDINANCE NO. 96- /J&S
A ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
THE ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 17.04.040, MODIFYING THE DEFINITION
AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING BUILDING HEIGHT AND GRADE
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on September 24, 1996 to consider
oral and written testimony and made the following Findings:
A. Definitions of building height and the grade used to determine the building height
were recently amended to provide needed clarification;
B. The application and use of the method to determine height under this new definition,
however, has shown that it is inflexible and potentially inaccurate when applied to
extreme cut and fill conditions where a corner point is on or near a retaining wall
separating the lot from adjacent property.
C. The subject text amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the general rule set forth in Section
15061(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as there is no possibility that these modifications
to the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach does hereby
recommend that the zoning ordinance text be amended as follows:
SECTION 1. Amend Section 17.04.040 to read as follows:
"Building Height" means a vertical distance measured from grade, as determined as
described herein, to the corresponding uppermost point of the roof, as shown in the examples
attached at the end of Chapter 17.04." (examples shown on separate page)
"Grade" at any point on a lot is determined based on existing corner point elevations, taking
into consideration significant variations relative to adjacent properties. In cases where there is
significant variation in elevations between adjacent properties at corner points, the point of
measurement shall be established based on the elevation at the nearest public improvement or an
alternative point within 3 horizontal feet which, based on supporting evidence, represents existing

unaltered grade. In the absence of supporting documentation the corner point elevation shall be
established at 1/2 the difference between the adjacent elevation and the elevation on the property in
question. _ The determination of grade shall be made by the Community Development Director, based
on all available evidence, and any disputes shall be referred to the Planning Commission.
For lots with convex contours (where the ground level arches upward along a property line)
the "grade" of a lot may be based on a detailed topographical survey along the property line with
spot elevations called out at a minimum of two (2) foot intervals."
SECTION 2. This ordinance shall become effective and be in full force and effect from
and after thirty (30) days of its final passage and adoption.
SECTION 3. Prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date of its adoption, the
City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published in the Easy Reader a weekly newspaper of
general circulation published and circulated in the City of Hermosa Beach, in the manner provided
by law.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance of
said city, and shall make minutes of the proceedings of the City Council at which the same is passed
and adopted.

September 16, 1996
Regular Meeting of
September 24, 1996
SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT 96-4
INITIATED BY PLANNING COMMISSION
PURPOSE: To augment the method of determining grade where there are significant grade
variations at the corner point elevations.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of the attached Ordinance modifying the definition of grade.
Background
At the June 18, 1996 meeting, the Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a text amendment
to modify the definition of grade as discussed in Special Study 96-1.
At the July 26, 1996 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and adopted a
resolution recommending modifying the definition of height.
Analysis
The staff has found significant problems with applying the recently adopted method of grade
determination used in conjunction with the measurement of height. The existing definition of
building height is based upon use of the property corner point elevations as datum to evaluate the
height of structures. The height definition has proven difficult to implement relative to extreme cut
and fill conditions where the corner point elevation is located on a retaining wall separating two
properties. It is unclear when a retaining wall is built on the property line, whether the elevation
should be established at the back of the wall, front of the wall or the centerline of the wall which can
dramatically effect the calculation of allowable building height. Graphic illustrations of two recently
proposed projects have been attached to illustrate what can happen. In the first illustration, Exhibit
A, staff believes grade is considerably higher, based on field observations of the existing retaining
walls and contours of neighboring properties and the subject property, and the grade established
using the current definition. The second illustration, Exhibit B, shows how a height bonus occurs
when applying strictly the four corner points as described in the definition. Staff is recommending
that the definition be amended to reflect the need to rely on an area beyond the corner point in
establishing the datum for measuring building height and provides for splitting the difference where
cut and fill conditions create differences in elevation on each side of the corner point. (See
comparison chart for current and suggested definition.)
The definition uses the current four corner points for determining height, but also includes a method
of taking into consideration adjacent elevations within 3 feet of the corner points, and the nearest
public improvement, whichever is closer. Additionally, the proposed amendment provides for
situations where the evidence is inconclusive and establishes grade at the half -way point between the
corner -point elevations and adjacent elevations. Two diagrams have been attached to illustrate the
suggested method of designating grade (see Exhibit C).

unaltered grade. In the absence of supporting
documentation the corner point elevation shall be
established at 1/2 the difference between the
adjacent elevation and the elevation on the
property in question.
The determination of grade shall be made by the
Community Development Director, based on all
available evidence, and any disputes shall be
referred to the Planning Commission.
For lots with convex contours (where the ground
level arches upward along a property line) the

topographical survey along the property line with
spot elevations called out at a minimum of two (2)

RESOLUTION P.C. 96-32
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH CALIFORNIA, TO RECOMMEND AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE,
SECTION 208, IN REGARDS TO DEFINITIONS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING
BUILDING HEIGHT AND GRADE
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 20, 1996 to consider
oral and written testimony and made the following Findings:
A. Definitions of building height and the grade used to determine the building height were
recently amended to provide needed clarification;
B. The application and use of the method to determine height under this new definition,
however, has shown that it is inflexible and potentially inaccurate when applied to extreme
cut and fill conditions where a corner point is on or near a retaining wall separating the lot
from adjacent property.
C. The subject text amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the general rule set forth in Section
15061(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as there is no possibility that these modifications to
the height definition may have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach does
hereby recommend that the zoning ordinance text be amended as follows:
SECTION 1. Amend Section 208, and add Section 208.1 to read as follows:
"Sec. 208 Building Height
"Building Height" means a vertical distance measured from grade, as determined as
described herein, to the corresponding uppermost point of the roof, as shown in the
examples below.
(Graphic Examples attached on separate page)
1
Sec. 208.1 Grade
"Grade" at any point on a lot is determined based on existing corner point elevations,
taking into consideration significant variations relative to adjacent properties. In cases
where there is significant variation in elevations between adjacent properties at corner
—points, the point of measurement shall be established based on the elevation at the nearest
public improvement or an alternative point within 3 horizontal feet which, based on
supporting evidence, represents existing unaltered grade. In the absence of supporting
documentation the corner point elevation shall be established at 1/2 the difference
between the adjacent elevation and the elevation on the property in question.
The determination of grade shall be made by the Community Development Director,
based on all available evidence, and any disputes shall be referred to the Planning
Commission.
For lots with convex contours (where the ground level arches upward along a property
line) the "grade" of a lot may be based on a detailed topographical survey along the
property line with spot elevations called out at a minimum 6f two (2) foot intervals."

CERTIFICATION

11. TEXT 94-4 -- TEXT AMENDMENT REGARDING HEIGHT/GRADE
DEFINITION (continued from July 16, 1996 meeting)
Staff Recommended Action To recommend approval of said text amendment.
Director Blumenfeld said the Commission was requested to augment the definition and
determination of "grade" where significant variation at corner -point elevations exist. The
definition has been previously amended, and the amendment worked well if retaining walls and
major changes in grade at the property line were not involved. He explained the difficulty in
making building height determinations when there are significant variations at grade at the
property lines and presented Staffs recommendation for the determination of height and grade
under the conditions. He said this recommendation would help resolve this matter by providing
the ability to measure beyond the property line to establish grade at the half -way point between
corner -point elevations and adjacent elevations. Comm. Pizer, using the illustrations provided,
discussed the examples with Director Blumenfeld. Comm. Schwartz suggestion a sample
calculation should be included in the examples. Director Blumenfeld said Staff would change the
relative measures and provide some verbiage would be provided explaining how to calculate the
height, and these changes included in the diagram. He explained the same formula currently used
would be followed, but Staff would be able to deal with grade changes relative to the retaining
wall issue. Comm. Merl felt this to be a good, concise definition, noting this problem has never
been satisfactorily addressed. He felt this was a fine resolution to the problem.
Chmn. Tucker opened the Public Hearing at 9:48 p.m. No one wished to speak, and Chmn.
Tucker closed the Public Hearing at 9:48 p.m.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the
Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
September 24, 1996
ARTS HERMOSA/ FirstNIGHT ®
EVENT APPROVAL AND FEE WAIVERS
Recommendation
It is recommended by the DEC and staff that Council:
1. Approve the street closure request from Arts Hermosa for December 31, 1996 -
January 1, 1997 subject to the conditions in the attached contract; and
2. Approve the funding request for $5,000 of DEC Funds ($2,500 to be allocated by
Council); and
3. Approve an $1,800 allocation from Proposition A Funds to be used for event shuttle
bus services; and
4. Approve the fee waiver requests and reductions as indicated in the analysis below.
Background
The Downtown Enhancement Commission and Council approved this event and street
closure last year. In addition, Council approved an allocation of $5,000 from the DEC
Fund and an additional $1,800 in Proposition A Funds to Arts Hermosa to assist with
event costs.
Arts Hermosa requests street closure approval that will encompass Pier Avenue west of
Valley Drive to Beach Drive and Hermosa Avenue from 10th to 14th Streets. Streets will
close at 2:00 p.m. December 31 and will reopen at 2:00 a.m. on January 1.
At their September 4, 1996 meeting, the DEC approved an allocation of $2,500 from their
FY 96-97 fund and recommended that Council allocate an additional $2,500 to provide
Arts Hermosa with the full $5,000 funding request.
Analysis
Recommended Conditions
Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions:
1
• Arts Hermosa to furnish the City with a certificate of insurance covering
comprehensive and general liability in the amount of $2 million.
• Indemnify the City.
• Chief of Police shall determine the number of officers necessary to ensure safety and
traffic control. Cost of officers to be paid by Arts Hermosa.
• Arts Hermosa shall be responsible to provide adequate trash receptacles and portable
toilets as necessary to accommodate the event.
• The streets shall be restored and cleaned by Arts Hermosa to meet conditions as
specified by the City.
• Arts Hermosa shall be solely responsible for event management.
• Arts Hermosa will post temporary no parking signs as required by the City.
• Arts Hermosa to meet all of the requirements in the attached contract.
Fees and Waivers
Arts Hermosa FirstNIGHT ® requested 100% waiver of all associated City fees and
direct costs (see Attachment C). In order to remain consistent with City ordinances
(which require non-profit organizations to reimburse the City for all direct costs related to
events) staff recommends that the Council approve a reduction in hourly rates for Police
and Fire Department personnel to hourly labor costs only (eliminate the overhead
expenses). In that way, the City fees will be greatly reduced for Arts Hermosa but the
City will also receive adequate reimbursement for its direct costs.
Fees
• Daily permit fee @ $1,651.40
• Civic Theater, Clark Building rental fees.
• Meter Buy-out fees @ $15.70 per meter.
• Police fees @ $60.70/hr. per officer.
• Paramedic standby fees.
• City administrative/event staffing fee: $300
• Public Works/banner fees.
• Civic Theater, Clark Building staff fees @$10/hr.
Recommendation

As indicated above, staff recommends fee waivers where there is no associated direct cost
to the City. That is, as is consistent with most non-profit fee waivers, the City will be
reimbursed for staff fees that directly impact the general fund budget.
The addition of FirstNIGHT ® to the City's annual roster of special events has been of
great benefit to the downtown businesses and the community. The staff and volunteers
associated with FirstNIGHT ® have created a safe and fun New Years event for Hermosa
Beach and have proven themselves to be capable event operators and managers.

Addendum to FirstNIGHT® 1997 Permit Application
Locations
As last year, we anticipate about 18 venues, ranging from the Civic Center
Auditorium on the east to Dallas' Pacific Screenprint at 65 Pier on the west: from the
Brewworks on 11th Street on the south to the Backburner Cafe at 14th and Hermosa
on the north. St. Cross Church and Valley Schools will again serve as venues but no
additional street closures are requested for them.
Set up and Insurance
Arts Hermosa will tag parking meters as required. If last year's figures are
correct, this will be 48 meters on Pier Avenue and 25 on Hermosa Avenue. We will
coordinate with construction requirements where necessary. We will arrange and
supply trash receptacles and portable toilets as required. We have $2 million of
insurance in place and will name and indemnify the city.
This entire street closure request follows a meeting with Tom Thompson of the
Hermosa Beach police and adheres to the guidelines he set down (memo attached).
As last year, Arts Hermosa requests that these streets be closed to vehicular
traffic: Pier Avenue from Valley Drive to Beach Drive and Hermosa Avenue from
10th to 14th Streets, from 2 p.m. Tuesday, December 31. The main outdoor stage will
be erected in approximately the same place at Manhattan Avenue and Pier Avenue.
For that, we will take away one eastbound lane of Pier from near Either/Or to just past
the 200 Pier Building parking lot beginning at 6 a.m. During set up, Monterey Avenue
will be left open across Pier for north/south traffic. At 5 p.m. Monterey Avenue will
be closed to protect the pedestrian zone of the celebration.
Parking and Shuttle
As last year, parking and shuttle arrangements will be made from the Mira
Costa High School parking lot. Shuttle buses will run continuously from 5 p.m. until 1
a.m. (nominally; we will keep shuttles operating until the FirstNIGHT® crowd has
dispersed). Shuttle vehicles will come down Gould, turn south on Valley and stop at
Valley School, site of the Creativity Center. They will proceed to Pier and turn east,
stopping outside the Community Center. They will then continue to PCH and turn
north for the return.
Event Schedule
As last year: 45 -minute performances beginning at 5:30 p.m. and continuing
until 11:15, when all outlying venues will close down to encourage a procession and
gathering at the main stage for a community welcome to the New Year. At
approximately 12:15 a.m. the music will end at the main stage and patrons will be
encouraged to depart.

Other Facilities - Details
' Restaurants working with Arts Hermosa will provide food and drinks outdoors for
celebrants. The Board of Arts Hermosa approved a plan to integrate all parts of participation in
FirstNIGHT®. Businesses receive two coupons in a booklet provided with each FirstNIGHT®
admission button, the opportunity to vend in the celebration area, and recognition and listing in
the maps and schedules. Fees were a sliding scale from $100 to $300 based on the size and nature
of the business.
The following businesses have indicated that they plan to offer food / beverages on the
night: Cantina Real, Rinaldi's West, Paisanos, Wings of the West, Fat Face Fenner's, Big
Mike's, Sabroso Grill, Club Sushi, Hennessey's, Sponda, California Wrapps, WonTon Mary's,
Cafe Boogaloo, Sangria, Round Table Pizza, and Abe's. We shall also offer opportunities to
local non -profits.
Their final arrangements are due by October 1, 1996. If an insufficient number of local
restaurants confirm service, we shall bring in other food vendors to feed the crowd. Those
businesses will not be in the coupon book (which has gone to the printer) but will receive vending
licenses for $250 or $350 depending on the size and nature of the business.
In accordance with the regulations of First Night International and the State of
California, no alcoholic beverages are permitted in FirstNIGHT® venues or on the streets.
BFI has again committed to providing sufficient portable toilets at City -designated
locations. Though there were no incidents last year, we need to space some portables to service
the crowd along Pier Avenue in addition to the head of the pier and the City parking lot.
BFI has again committed to providing sufficient disposable trash boxes and liners
throughout the venues and a roll -off in the parking lot on 13th Street. Every effort will be made
to remove the toilets and the roll -off on January 1. However, due to BFI's commitment to the
Rose Bowl, last year the toilets were not pulled until January 2, which may be the case again.
Parking will be provided at Mira Costa High School's parking lot and at the church lot
next to it. Shuttle service similar to last year's will be arranged. That is, continuous vans and
school buses running from 5 p.m. until the crowd disperses at 1 a.m.
Attendance and Fees
Arts Hermosa expects to sell 5,500 admission buttons and for total attendance to be in
excess of 12,000 (using last year's police estimate of crowd size as reference). Buttons cost $10
until December 31, $12 on the day of the event. Children under 12 are free with a paid adult.
Traffic rerouting and Street Clean up
Additional signs will be made following guidelines agreed with,Tom Thompson to notify
drivers well in advance of the street closure at Pier and how to get around it north- and south-
bound. Those details are attached. We expect the National Guard to be involved again and will
use them at primary traffic interfaces to give information and help to direct traffic. Arts Hermosa
shall arrange for street sweeping of the venue area at the close of the event.
• more •
Security and Paramedics
FirstNIGHT® has experienced no security "incidents" and expects none. However,
preparations are made to handle what comes up. There are three levels of security, used in order
of urgency. A volunteer group is designated as "instant response" to handle venue crowding,
people jumping lines, etc. Hired professional security is available for possible drunken or
belligerent exchanges. City Police again will share our radio messages and intervene where they
believe it appropriate. Again: we have had no problems in the past, even minor ones.
Business Approval
Enclosed is a list of signatures from businesses in the area affected by the street closure.
A handful of business owners/managers were unreachable in several attempts. A copy of the
street closure plans (attached) was left for their information, with our number for questions. We
have received no calls to date.
Two businesses refused to sign: Karen's Cleaners and Robert's Liquor. Robert's Liquor
signed, then called to say that they wanted to take it back. They said that they felt the event
should not be so spread out, but centered on lower Pier, coincidentally the location of their
business. They are in favor of the event; their stated reservation was that the crowd should be
centered more on the area just outside their store. We have explained the reasons that the large
venue is necessary.
Arts Hermosa staff wishes to work with all owners / managers to minimize any negative
effect on their businesses and will consult with them whenever requested.
City Fees and Support
Arts Hermosa is a not-for-profit organization. FirstNIGHT® is produced, as stated by the
Association of First Nights International, "to celebrate the arts." The benefits of thousands of
volunteer hours accrue to the City, its businesses and its citizens. Just as the City supports
recreational activities through building.and maintenance costs, we ask that it support
FirstNIGHT® with a contribution of $5,000 and a waiver of all city fees and charges.

FirstNIGHT® Hermosa Beach, 1997 is Coming!
Hermosa Beach's New Year's Eve celebration is a hit. Begun December 31, 1994,
attendance has jumped from about 5,000 to over 12,000 people. This alcohol -free
celebration of the arts presents a huge variety of performances from and for all age groups.
Our friendly and safe atmosphere draws customers from all over the South Bay. Most
merchants agree that the event provides business benefits beyond just the one evening. The
crowd that attends the celebration enjoys itself and returns to shop and eat again and again.
In order to maintain that friendly and safe environment for the expected crowd, Arts
Hermosa is requesting permission from the City to close Pier Avenue to all vehicular traffic
from Valley Drive to Beach Drive, and Hermosa Avenue from 10th to 14th Streets, between
the hours of 2 p.m. Tuesday, December 31, and 2 a.m. Wednesday, January 1. (Monterey
Avenue will be left open at Pier Avenue during setup, for north/southbound traffic.
Monterey Avenue at Pier will be closed completely at 5:30 p.m. when all traffic will be
directed to Ardmore or PCH.) This is the same plan that was used last year without
difficulty.
Arts Hermosa again will arrange off-site parking and shuttle service throughout the
event. We will manage our use of parking more effectively this year to provide more space
in and access to city parking facilities for customers of downtown businesses.
This pedestrian atmosphere brings a closer exposure to all the local businesses, as
well as providing a safe venue for performers and celebrants. Last year, virtually all
businesses in the downtown area reported significant increases in business during the hours
of the event. The Police reported no disturbances attributed to the FirstNIGHT® crowd.
We encourage you to keep your business open to become known to a large new audience.
Arts Hermosa asks for your signature in support of the plans for FirstNIGHT®.
And thanks! We value your suggestions. With any questions or comments, please call Bill
or Donna at 318-3910.
We acknowledge receipt of Arts Hermosa's street closure plan for FirstNIGHT® 1997, and offer
our signatures in support. We understand that this plan involves closing Pier Avenue from Valley
to Beach and Hermosa Avenue from 10th to 14th from 2 p.m. December 31 'til 2 a.m. January 1.

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
Date: September 16, 1996
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dean Nota, Chairman,
Downtown Enhancement Commission &
Sol Blumenfeld, rector,
Community Development Department
Subject: Requests for Contributions for FirstNIGHT 1997 and the Proposed
Hermosa Beach Film Festival
Recommendations
FirstNIGHT: To allocate $2,500 of the funds collected from the Special Event Fees
(deposited in the General Fund) to match the $2,500 contribution approved by the
Downtown Enhancement Commission (from the D.E.C. Advertising account).
Film Festival: To consider contributing $5,000 as seed money for the proposed Film
Festival to be held in April 1997, also using the collected Special Event Fees.
Background
The Downtown Enhancement Commission, at their meeting of September 4, considered
a request by FirstNIGHT to again contribute $5,000 as they had done the previous two
years. The D.E.C. strongly expressed the desire to continue this level of support,
based on the success of FirstNIGHT. However, given the constraints of the current
budget (The '96-'97 budget reduced the discretionary funds in the D.E.C.
Advertising/Promotion account to $15,000 instead of $25,000), the D.E.C. voted to
make a contribution of $2,500 from their discretionary funds, with a recommendation to
the City Council to match that amount. The D.E.C. believes it would be appropriate for
the Council to match this amount, using a portion of the Special Event Fees collected
this year that have already been deposited in the General Fund.
The DEC anticipates additional requests from other downtown events requiring
promotional funds, including St. Patrick's Day Parade organizers. In addition, the
balance of funds in the DEC advertising and promotion budget will be allocated to
support local merchants during the construction of the Downtown Improvement project.
• Thus, sufficient funds will not be available to fully cover anticipated expenses for these
projects and the DEC is requesting that the Council provide a matching contribution as
recommended above. With the Council's contribution, the DEC will be able to provide
funding for business support and promotion during construction of the Downtown
Improvement Project as outlined below:

The proposed Hermosa Beach Film Festival (please see attached funding request) is
also endorsed by the DEC. However, given DEC budget limitations and given that the
proposed locations for the event are primarily outside the downtown district
(Community Center, AMC Theaters, the beach), the DEC is forwarding the request for
"seed money" to City Council for consideration. The Film Festival will provide an
opportunity to promote the City through a series of film screenings over a four day
period from April 24-27, 1997. The venues will be located throughout the City, with
new and classic films being offered. Each venue will have a theme showcasing the •
actors or director associated with the film being presented. A detailed description of
the Film Festival is attached.

The Hermosa Beach Film Festival
Request for a Grant of Seed Money
The Hermosa Beach Community Center Foundation requests an immediate grant of $5,000 to
be used as seed money for the Hermosa Beach Film Festival. Over the last couple of months
more than 20 extremely dedicated_andtalented people_have formed_aplanning_committee and
demonstrated individual personal commitment to be certain that Hermosa Beach has a
successful Film Festival. From the attached information and budget it should be clear that the
Film Festival will create value for the community. We believe a unanimous vote of confidence
and commitment from the City Council would be all the financial, emotional and political
momentum that the Foundation needs to make this Film Festival a spectacular success.
The Festival is being designed to promote the City of Hermosa Beach as a patron of the arts and
as a cultural and recreational destination. There is a good possibility of increased exposure of
Hermosa Beach to the Hollywood film community and perhaps a renewed interest in Hermosa
as a location for film projects or more hopefully as a headquarters for independept film
companies. -
Current estimates place attendance at more than 3,000 persons_ The attached_ budget is based on
careful study of comparable film festivals and movie industry standards-.
Hollywood goes to the Beach!
Next April, California's most exciting beach_ city will play host to its very first film festival.
For four fun -filled days and nights Hermosa will be the center of the movie universe as
Hollywood makes the trip down the 405 to join in a celebration of cinema.
There will be an opening night gala when Pier Avenue will be turned into a glamorous
promenade as 'stars rub shoulders with the fans as both enjoy gourmet cuisine and
award-winning wines.
Then, under the stars, there will be the premiere of one of Hollywood's hottest new movies.
The black -tie crowd will shuck their shoes and socks and take their seats on the sand for a
open-air screening using state-of-the-art technology to createa truly unforgettable experience.
Meanwhile at venues all over the city screenings will be taking place in locations as different as
the back room of a restaurant and a basketball court.
Each of these places will have been carefully converted into viewing arenas perfectly suited for
the particular film they are showing.
There will also be screeningsin_moretraditional_ locations suck as movie houses and the
Hermosa Beach Community Theatre.
The movies will cover the whole range_.o£filmed entertainment There wilLbe_ new films from
the major studios and independent production companies. There will be the best of the -up and
coming directors and, there will also be the cream of the student films.
And there will also be viewings of the great movies of yesteryear, some_ being_seen_on_ the big
screen for the first time in decades,
On the second night_ of thefestival_ there will be a tribute to a_major_ movie figure with examples
of that person's,distinguished career and tributes from colleagues.
The third night will feature a retrospective of movies shot in the South Bay with a, commentary
by one -of America's most famous comedians.
On the afternoon of -the fourth .day there will_be a, salute to family films wherekids of all ages
can gather to -laugh and cry at Hollywood's hottest -new industry.
And the festival will close with a star-studded awards.show as the team of celebrity judges
present their choices for movie excellence.
As well as screenings, the festival will featurelectures, seminars and panel discussions on
topics as diverse as censorship and cinemaphotography, musicals andmultiplex theaters.
Several of the events will be staged as fundraisers for deserving causes.
The first Hermosa Beach Film Festival will unspool.from Apri124 thru April_27. We'll save a
seat for you.
But first we are asking our community - and particularly our. City Council_- to help us get this
project off the ground. Our budget anticipates returning direct benefits to the community that far
exceed anticipated seed money.
The benefits, such as increased business and sales tax revenues, civic prestige and cultural
enrichment, we would suggest are well worth the modest investment envisaged.
We need your assistance in many ways, the first of which is financial. Seed money in the
amount of $5,000 is urgently required for items as basic as printing, postage and phone calls. A
press kit needs to be prepared,
brochures created.
The Hermosa Beach Film Festival has many enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers who_ are
determined to tuni their dream into a reality. But it is essential that their efforts are seen in- the
most professional light.
They cannot do it without your support. Pleasehelp themmake this undertaking the. success
Hermosa each so richly deserves.

Another wady that ;he town has benefited from the Tel

festival has worl;ec; closely with the I: -i school board,
architects and twilt!cr, to ensure that the hew t,}nrnttsiunt
can double as a c\orld-class theater one weekend a year.
—the relationship that we have with the new school is
extraordinary.' said festival General Manager Stella
Ponce- "Vvc: arc so thrilled by it. Icer: is a situation where
a public building like the school has been able to cooper-
ate with a private institution.
"Granted, were a nonprofit
public institution, hut in many
ways we're a private institution.
and here we've worked together to
build a public building, but in such
a manner that the film festival can
continue.
"We've made substantial finan-
cial contributions to the new school.
We have not burdened the taxpay-
ers' pocket. That has come out of
our pocket."
The new gymnasium will be
equipped with a state-of-the-art
projection booth and system that
the school will be entitled to use
all year round.
'I'Itc Peaces estimate that they
have already pumped $57,0(K) into
the new school, and that by the time
the new theater (which will he
called The Max) is finished, the film
festival will have put between
$200,00( and $250,000 into the
new theater.
"We have a capital campaign
under way where we're trying to
raise that money," Stella said_ "But
the fund raising has been going well
because there arc so many people
who feel so strongly about this event."
There also will be a smaller auxiliary gym at the new
school- The fences said they'd like to turn that gym into
another theater to make up for the loss of the community
Icenter, which is slated to be torn down.

Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting of
the Hermosa Beach City Council September 24, 1996
CLARK FIELD MASTER PLAN: PARKING AND ENTRYWAY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Direct staff to proceed with the restriping of the parking lot at Clark Field and remove
planters at the greenbelt.
BACKGROUND:
On April 23, 1996 the City Council approved in concept a new parking plan for Clark Field
presented by the Parks and Recreation and Community Resources advisory commission. City
Council also directed that staff review of the plan for compliance to City traffic circulation, sight
distance and safety requirements.
ANALYSIS:
Per City Council direction staff performed a review of the submitted plan. Of particular concern
to the Engineering Department was the proposed addition of two new exits, one onto Valley
Drive and the other onto 1 lth Street. The Valley Drive exit was found to have inadequate sight
distance looking southerly. The corner of the basketball courts would obscure views of the
roadway in that direction. The proposed 11th Street exit is aligned to close to the Valley
Drive/11th Street intersection causing difficult turning movements and possible conflicts with
pedestrians and vehicles making right turns onto 11th from Valley. The Public Works Department
did however recognize the increased circulation that the new plan offered.
Staff has developed the attached alternate plan which utilizes the increased circulation as
portrayed in the Parks and Recreation Plan while eliminating the exiting safety problems by
removing the Valley Drive exit and moving the 11th Street one. The revised plan has the added
benefits of saving green space while costing approximately $38,000 less to construct. The new
plan, however, provides 2 less parking spaces. A survey of the area did show that these additional
spaces could be picked up by the removal of the planter across Valley Drive in the Greenbelt
parking area for Clark Field. It is recommended that these changes be made to the previously
approved plan as a way to increase parking and circulation without paving over large areas of
green space.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed revised Clark Field Parking Plan is estimated to cost approximately $18,000. Funds
are available in the 4% UUT Fund to perform this work.

321 PIER AVENUE -- JACK WOOD
"APPEAL" UNREINFORCED MASONRY BUILDING
DESIGNATION PURSUANT TO CITY ORDINANCE -SEISMIC
STRENGTHENING OF BUILDINGS HAVING UNREINFORCED
MASONRY BEARING WALLS
Recommendation: To consider the appeal of the subject building designation and
retain the building on the City's list of unreinforced masonry
buildings until the property owner demonstrates that the building is
reinforced pursuant to the requirements of the Seismic
Strengthening Ordinance
Background:
On November 17, 1994 the subject property was issued a Compliance Order identifying the
building as unreinforced masonry and providing a schedule for complying with seismic
strengthening. The Order indicates the timing to appeal the classification of the building .
The owner of the subject property is requesting that the City Council consider removing the
property from the list of unreinforced masonry buildings. The owner alleges that the
Ordinance was intended to deal with "red brick" buildings and the subject building "is not
red brick but concrete block and is reinforced." He further alleges that because it is
concrete block it was erroneously included in the City's list of unreinforced masonry
buildings
The City's consulting structural engineer, Mel Green & Associates conduct the survey which
identified the subject building as unreinforced masonry. According to Mr. Green, at
minimum the building's east wall appears from the survey records and field inspection to be
unreinforced. According to Mr. Green, concrete block was visible beneath the plaster and
one piece of reinforcing steel was not encased in solid grout. Thus the steel that could be
observed was not grouted in place as required under the code. Further the steel that was in
place may have been exclusively used around the window openings which had been typically
done in buildings of this vintage.
Analysis:
Under the provisions of the Ordinance, an owner can remove a building from the URM list
through a prescribed appeal process to the Board of Appeals. It has been the Department
Policy to require destructive testing or pachometer testing in conjunction with structural
analysis to remove a building from the URM list.
1 0
Mr. Wood has been given an opportunity to appeal the matter to the Board of Appeals under
the provisions of the URM Ordinance. The appeal period ended on January 17, 1995
(60 days from the Service Order date as per the Ordinance.)
Subsequently staff offered Mr. Wood the opportunity to have his building tested at City
expenses, to verify whether the building contained structural reinforcement. On July 17,
1996 staff provided the attached letter which contained the generous offer to have the
necessary pachometer test performed at City cost if the results proved positive (structural
steel), but to have the owner pay for the test if it proved negative ( the building did not
contain structural reinforcement.) Mr. Wood declined the City's offer. One other property
owner has accepted the City's offer to have his building tested.
At this point it is the consulting engineers recommendation that the building be tested to
determine whether it is structurally reinforced and that building not be remove the from the
City's URM list, as there no compelling evidence to remove it from the list. The engineer
has surveyed the building twice, in addition to the original survey prepared for the City
in 1989.
Mr. Wood's argument that his building is not "red brick" is irrelevant. The Ordinance is
intended to deal with unreinforced masonry, whether it is brick or block. Mr. Wood's
contention that the City's survey has a significant number of buildings removed from the
URM list is irrelevant as the survey is a preliminary investigation to identify buildings likely
to be unreinforced. The survey indicates buildings most likely to be unreinforced based
upon the City's records and an exterior inspection of the property. Once an owner
demonstrates through pachometer or destructive testing and certification by a engineer that
the building is reinforced, the City removes the building from the URM list.

Subject: Unreinforced Masonry Building -- 321 Pier Avenue
Dear Mr. Wood:
I am writing in response to your request to have the designation of your building as an
Unreinforced Masonry (URM) Building reconsidered on appeal to the Board of Appeals.
As discussed previously, you have had an opportunity to appeal the designation of your
building, but missed the appeal date which occurred in January 1995. However, in order
to allay the concern that your building has been misdesignated a URM building, I would
like to propose the following:
The City will at the City's expense, conduct a pachometer test to determine if the
building contains minimum reinforcing steel as outlined in the UCBC. If the test
reveals that the building is reinforced, the City will cover the cost of the required test
and you need only provide the necessary structural investigation (based upon the test
results) certified by a licensed civil or structural engineer to verify the structural
integrity of the building. If the test reveals that the building is unreinforced, then it will
be incumbent upon you to cover the cost of the test and proceed with seismic
strengthening of your building pursuant to the Seismic Strengthening Ordinance. The
City has identified a qualified company to conduct the required test, or you can select
another company which we mutually agree upon.
I believe that this is a fair and generous approach on the part of the City in dealing with
the matter of the URM classification of your building. We will make the same offer to the
other building owners with buildings classified unreinforced masonry. If you are
agreeable to this proposal I will need to have you provide written consent to perform the
testing. I will have the City Attorney prepare the required letter of consent in order to
proceed with the above at your direction.

I hope that you find this a satisfactory option and will favorably consider the proposal.
Please call me at your earliest convenience with your response.
Sincerely,

These are some of the questions we should have the answers to to have a full hearing on
the subject.
MOVED
AUG H996
Why was 1950 used as cutoff? o'r MGR,
OFFICE
Ordinance states-- one unreinforced masonry bearing wall.
Is that in all buildings?
Most buildings have many bearing walls, some interior and some foundation walls.
Were all walls of all buildings built between 1934 and 1950 suspect? Inspected?
Were all potential bearing walls observed?
Was engineer asked to include building from 1934 to 1950?
Were results from other cities used to predict dangers and to influence selection?
Was it the intent of the Engineer to "err on the side of caution"?
Did the Engineer expect some of the buildings to be removed by the building
official?
Does the Engineer object to such removal?
Did the city adopt the Uniform Code in 1948 or prior? When for sure?
The 1933 Riley Act by State mandated reinforcement in masonry buildings. Did city enforce
that?
Is it reasonable to expect the Codes to be enforced in 1948?
Would a person who relied on the Building Report issued by the city stating permits were
issued and finaled between 1934 and 1950 have recourse against the city?
Of the list submitted how many were before 1934? After?
Of the buildings constructed with concrete block masonry that were cited how many were
later removed without repair?
Was any concrete block masonry in Hermosa Beach found to not have reinforcement.
Are buildings built after 1934 as dangerous as those built before in Mr. Green's opinion?
What is the known error rate here in Hermosa Beach and how does that compare to what
the Engineer would expect?
Are there any economic consequences to this ordinance so far? If so what are they?
S
How many buildings that have been abated were done by those who owned thematthe
time of citation?
Who did the abatements?
New owners
New owner's tenants
Old owners
Old owner's old tenants
Old owner's new tenants
How did city expect old owners with minimal financial resources to finance repairs?
Cited buildings must be brought up to approximately 1976 standards whereas non -cited
buildings built between 1934 to 1950 do not have to be touched. Was this the Council's
intent? Is it legal? Is it fair?
If this is being undertaken under the police powers is there "probable cause" to suspect
buildings with concrete block? And not others built at same time. Are not owners
protected by that concept?
Do they have high failure rates? Anybody hurt in other jurisdictions?
Is not brick the "masonry" with high danger rather than block?
Is there much evidence that buildings of that age were not built per code or without
reinforcement?
If the Engineer suspects shoddy practice by City, contractors and owners during this period
(1934 to 1950) of construction (one of the highest in the city's history), why is there not
concern for this shoddy practice in non -masonry buildings of that era?
Why is it better to assume the was not followed during these years than that it was.
Can a citizen demand and expect that all buildings be inspected and tested to determine
if they have any URM or other unsafe conditions?

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
September 24, 1996
DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATE & ALTERNATE FOR
THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Background:
As you know, the League of California Cities takes positions on legislation at
the state level that impacts cities. The position that the League of California
Cities takes on various bills starts at the annual business meeting where
resolutions are considered. These resolutions guide the legislative effort
during the next year. In order for the City to participate in the vote, we must
designate the voting delegate and an alternate.
Recommendation:
Designate a voting delegate and an alternate for the League of California
Cities Annual Business Meeting on Tuesday, October 15, 1996.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen R. Burrell
City Manager

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Sedalia Sanders, League President, Mayor, El Centro
Re: Designation of Voting Delegate for League Annual Conference
This year's League Annual Conference is scheduled for Sunday, October 13 through Tuesday,
October 15, 1996 in Anaheim. One very important aspect of the Annual Conference is the
Annual Business Meeting when the membership takes action on conference resolutions. Annual
Conference resolutions guide cities and the League in our efforts to improve the quality,
responsiveness and vitality of local government in California. It is important that all cities be
represented at the Business Meeting on Tuesday, October 15, at 9:30 a.m. at the Anaheim
Convention Center.
To expedite the conduct of business at this important policy-making meeting, each city
council should designate a voting representative and an alternate who will be present at the
Business Meeting. League bylaws provide that each city is entitled to one vote in matters
affecting municipal or League policy. A voting card will be given to the city official designated
by the city council on the enclosed "Voting Delegate Form." If the mayor or a member of the
city council is in attendance at the Conference, it is expected that one of these officials will be
designated as the voting delegate. However, if the city council will not have a registered
delegate at the Conference but will be represented by other city officials, one of these officials
should be designated the voting delegate or alternate.
Please complete and return the enclosed "Voting Delegate Form" to the Sacramento office of the
League at the earliest possible time (not later than Friday, September 27, 1996), so that proper
records may be established for the Conference. The voting delegate may pick up the city's voting
card at the designated Voting Card Table located in the League Registration Area.
The voting procedures to be followed at this Conference are printed on the reverse side of this
memo.
Your help in returning the attached "Voting Delegate Form" as soon as possible is appreciated.
If you have any questions, please call Lorraine Okabe at (916) 658-8236.
League of California Cities
Annual Conference Voting Procedures
1. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to League policy.
2. To cast the city's vote a city official must have in his or her possession the city's voting card and be
registered with the Credentials Committee.
3. Prior to the Annual Conference, each city should designate a voting delegate and an alternate and return
the Voting Delegate Form to the League for use by the Credentials Committee.
4. The voting delegate or alternate may pick up the city's voting card at the voting card desk in the conference
registration area.
5. Free exchange of the voting card between the voting delegate and alternate is permitted.
6. If neither the voting delegate nor alternate is able to attend the Business Meeting, the voting delegate or
alternate may pass the voting card to another official from the same city by appearing in person before a
representative of the Credentials Committee to make the exchange. Prior to the Business Meeting,
exchanges may be made at the "Voting Card" table in the League Registration Area. At the Business
Meeting, exchanges may be made at the "Voting Card" table in the front of the meeting room. Exchanges
may not be made while a roll call vote is in progress because the Credentials Committee will be
conducting the roll call.
7. Qualification of an initiative resolution is judged in part by the validity of signatures. Only the signatures
of city officials, who, according to the records of the Credentials Committee, are authorized to use the
city's voting card and who have left a sample of their signature on the Credentials Committee register will
be approved.
8. In case of dispute, the Credentials Committee will determine the right of a city official to vote at the
Business Meeting.
