SENT VIA HAND DELIVERY
Honorable Mayor and City Council. of Hermosa Beach
RE: Reconsideration of Action Taken Re: Parking and Barriers on January 14, 1997.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
1178-2541
I have been asked by certain effected property owners to prepare this letter in order to ask
you to reconsider the action taken by this Council on January 14, 1997 in which available parking
in the area in or about the Walk Streets was potentially or actually eliminated from the City of
Hermosa Beach. It is our position that this action was taken without appropriate consideration or
findings concerning the environmental and social impacts upon the community and the
environment.' This letter is also intended to inform the Council of certain other matters of which
they should be aware.
It is believed that the City Council acted so as to undertake one or more projects under
CEQA without due consideration of the appropriate environmental factors as required by the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and set forth in the Guidelines pertaining thereto.
This was presented, in part, by the testimony of various affected and interested members of the
public at the January 14, 1997 Council hearing and meeting.
On March 23, 1993, in passing Ordinance 93-1084, the City Council of Hermosa Beach made the following
findings:
"(5) Elimination of all parking on the subject public street [the walk -street] right-of-way areas maintained as
side yard areas would cause a hardship to the adjacent property owners who have developed, improved, and maintained
said side yard areas, including parking, over the years; and
(6) An action to eliminate all parking on the subject areas would cause a hardship on the entire neighborhood
by the elimination of existing and utilized parking spaces, thereby increasing the overburdened demand on the limited
number of parking spaces needed along Hermosa Avenue and other nearby streets; and11 ..."
Since 1993 nothing has changed to eliminate or alter this finding.

1710 Esplanade, No. H

PAGE No. 2
It is beyond dispute that parking in the Hermosa Beach area is highly restricted and its
elimination for any reason must be undertaken only where the circumstances are of the utmost
importance. We believe that there is no legal or factual finding or other basis to believe that such
an extreme measure is necessary or warranted under the circumstances, and wish to have the
Council take additional time to consider these matters more fully.
The environmental impacts of reduced parking are significant. The avowed purpose of
reducing the visual blight of cars parked in the area is contradicted by the fact that a significant
number of cars are openly parked on the West side of Beach Drive and this is approved by the
City, whereas on the East side of the street, any such parking is allegedly forbidden. There is no
rational or other basis for allowing parking on the West side of a street whereas only fifteen (15)
feel to the East of the same street, in full view, a claim is made that the same cars are a visual
blight. Furthermore, the unequal treatment of the individuals involved, each lying on opposite
sides of a street, clearly violates the Equal Protection Clause of the US and State Constitutions in
that similarly situated groups are treated unequally and that the group on the East side of Beach
Drive has been singled out for such unequal treatment and excessive burdens.
In addition, it is believed that this action was taken without due consideration of the
individual investment backed or based property rights which were taken or eliminated by the
Council's action, implicating a violation of the US Constitutional Due Process protections and
constitute a taking under the 5`h and 14°i Amendments, and of similar provisions in the California
Constitution.
Further, the actions of the Subcommittee of the City Council were conducted in violation
of Procedural and Substantive Due Process protections in that they led people to believe that they
should not present documents and commentary to the Council which were considered by the
SUI)CO111111MCC. I'*urthCrnwrC, this was donC in such a way as to eliminate presentation by
representatives of the community of documents and comments to the City Council which would
have more fully elaborated upon the above issues and other matters which should have been
considered by the Council. We ask that these documents, attached hereto, and others, be made a
supplemental part of the record in this matter, and considered or reconsidered by the City Council
prior to taking further action in this matter. The Council Subcommittee's conduct prevented
members of the public from having an adequate opportunity for a hearing and to be heard as
required by the Due Process Clause of the US Constitution and similar provisions in the
California Constitution. The Subcommittee effectively mislead members of the public into
thinking that their views would be fully before the Council and that they did not need to present
documentation which was, in fact, presented to the Subcommittee for consideration.
Individual rights were affected by the Council's action which will and have caused
specific instances of extreme financial and medical hardship, without a commensurate benefit to
the public. Specific instances of this arexaised here by incorporation as if fully stated herein,
and as are presented in other letters addressed to this Council for consideration.
The Council considered aesthetics as a basis for elimination of public or private parking
but failed to properly weigh the fact that it has allowed parking of cars immediately adjacent to
the Strand and oceanfront without due consideration of the Coastal Plan.

1710 Esplanade, No. Ii
Redondo Beach, California 90277
PAGE No. 3
We believe that the action taken by the City Council is potentially inconsistent with the
General Plan of Hermosa Beach.
There were no findings of law or fact made by the Council in order to support its action.
None of the factors required by CCP § 1094.5 were present, nor was there consideration of those
factors raised in the Mulholland case, when the Council undertook its action. The administrative
record in this matter is apparently without a full basis for the decision taken by the Council.
The definitions referred to by the Council with respect to "the front yard" are vague and
ambiguous.
The City Council undertook to deprive the affected members of the public without
providing an adequate hearing and opportunity to be heard in violation of constitutionally
protected Due Process rights to a full hearing, and did not provide adequate notice of the fact that
parking and other property rights would be permanently lost as a result of the actions of the City
Council.
For these reasons, along with others, we seek to have the Council reconsider its action
and study more fully the impact that this decision has had on the local community.
We ask the City to provide us with a copy of the Administrative Record before the City
Council.
In addition, we ask the Council to place on the agenda and item which will allow the
public to present fully any and all alternatives to the elimination of parking or at least to schedule
testimony to be taken in support of this request for reconsideration and any alternatives to
eliminating the parking. We believe this is necessary to prevent the loss of vital parking in the
Hermosa Beach area.
We also ask that the City Council direct staff to continue to work with the affected
members of the community in order to reduce or eliminate the hardship thus far created by the
Council's actions.
Vel yiraly yours,
Daniel Coffey

BEACH DRIVE PARKING
Background
In the past eight years the City of Hermosa Beach has addressed a number of long standing
citywide issues which re -surfaced during review and revision of the General Plan. One of
these issues has been characterized as "private use of public property". In some cases the
"public property" in question is clearly identifiable, while in other cases it is a questionable
designation. These ambiguities stem in part from the development of this beach area at the
turn of the century, the 1901 dedication by the Hermosa Beach Land & Water Company, the
origins and formation of the City in 1907, and subsequent land use decisions, including one in
1923 pertaining to the 16 foot wide pedestrian walk streets, and city management policy and
practices during the past 75 years. The "private use" in question ranges from simple
pathways and spaces to physical structures and objects, with one major concern being motor
vehicle parking.
The City Council, the Planning Commission and city administration have at various times
expressed various concerns and opinions on this issue, and have taken various actions to deal
with parking of vehicles on the "public right of way." A number of different areas in the city
have been cited as "problem areas" over the years, notably Loma Drive, Monterey Avenue,
Prospect Avenue, and more recently Beach Drive. While acknowledging the citywide nature
of this issue, the Council nevertheless authorized staff and the Planning Commission on
August 14, 1990 to review the City's ordinances and enforcement of parking along the Beach
Drive pedestrian walk streets, with the intent to prohibit such parking.
The review was arbitrarily narrowed from a citywide scope to the Beach Drive walk st.rects,
purportedly due to "a number of complaints" which apparently focus on a specific problem at
Eighth Street. When the Planning Commission, Council and administration subsequently re-
considered the wisdom of the initial review study recommendations the Council directed a
review of procedures for vacating certain areas, and Prospect Avenue was added to the scope
of the project, along with a report on City parking policy along Beach Drive. On February 25,
1992 the Council terminated all action on Prospect Avenue and again focused on vehicle
parking along Beach Drive. A subsequent Council decision further reduced the scope to the
west side of Beach Drive, a measure with particularly divisive results for these neighborhoods
and the City. A continuous counter current throughout these proceedings, evident in a review
of Council and Planning Commission minutes, is a serious question regarding the wisdom of
employing an encroachment permit process to control parking.
The Council subsequently adopted Ordinance 93-1084 on March 23, 1993 permitting parking
with restrictions and implementing the widely opposed encroachment permit procedure,
including a duplicative and bureaucratic review of individual applications by the Planning
Commission. The west side Strand property owners immediately organized an action group
and filed a lawsuit which was settled with the City in 1996 largely on terms originally
proposed by a committee of Strand property owners. The final terms are reflected in a Los
Angeles Superior Court Judgment filed December 15, 1995 and in City Ordinance 96-1153.
Indeed, in the 1996 ordinance the City went significantly beyond the framework of the
invalidated 1993 ordinance (93-1084 ) and acknowledged that each property owner owns free
and clear of any interest of the City, the 22 foot wide strip abutting their homes and adjacent
to the 16 foot wide public walk streets. The east side property owners were denied any
substantive voice in these committee and settlement proceedings once the City chose to focus
on the west side.
1n August, 1996 the City Council turned to the "unfinished business" on the cast side of
Beach Drive, with letters to some of the east side property owners. However, the letters
imply that the City does not intend to engage in the same process used with the west side
property owners. We should note that the letter could apply equally to the west side
property owners if it had been written a few years ago - it cites the same parking issue which
applied to the west side, yet it makes no reference to the precedent set in the settlement with
the west side owners. Instead, the letter threatens "other actions" to bring the east side
properties into "compliance". There will apparently be no staff analysis, no information
gathering, no public hearings, and no consideration of a policy framework similar to the one
that evolved from the lawsuit.
We are mindful that the underlying issue is citywide in scope. While specific areas can
perhaps be addressed, as is the case with the overlay zone for the west side property owners
in the 1996 ordinance, there are potentially large numbers of city property owners, such as
those on Prospect Avenue included in the above mentioned study, who have a keen interest in
property which the City considers public right of way. We are hopeful that an agreement
comparable to the one reached with the west side can be reached between the City and the east
side property owners, without having to resort to another three year long lawsuit.
An Assessment by the East Side Property Owners
In our view, based on our investigations and preliminary contacts to date, it is evident that
there is a fundamental legal issue regarding the City's claim to easements and right of way
along the walk streets in question, and consequently a serious question about restrictive
ordinances and encroachment permit procedures based on such claims. There are also serious
concerns about the means employed by the City to move against the property owners
considering that the issue is citywide in scope, yet there is apparently no plan or authority for
addressing the issue on a citywide basis. The Strand settlement certainly raises a number of
questions regarding equitability, since the City's original objective on Beach Drive was
"compliance" - no parking - and the final result is ample parking, a withdrawal of the
encroachment process, a major compromise on "open space" preferences, and a concession of
property ownership.
East Side Property Owner Actions
Once contacted by City administration, the property owners on the east side of Beach Drive
formed an action group of all owners and a committee to address settlement of the remaining
parking issues on Beach Drive. In our discussions there is consensus that the properties along
the walk streets from Hermosa Avenue to the Strand are unique in the city. The walkstreet
yards were created by the city's abandonment of 22 feet of the claimed 30 feet easement in
2
1923 when the city decided to create 16 feet wide streets. The ability to walk to the beach
without crossing a street creates an extremely desirable neighborhood for Hermosa Beach
residents, and the proximity to the ocean creates a unique sense of space that extends to the
beach.
We wish to preserve this uniqueness and the sense of open space, without destroying the
quality of life we experience through reasonable parking of vehicles in the area. We would not
propose any degradation of the standards already incorporated in the settlement with the
Strand property owners 20 feet away across Beach Drive. The view westward down the
walkstreets has now been determined with the recent Strand comer lot settlement. We would
propose a similar equitable balancing of preferences for open space, beautification and vehicle
parking.
We offer the following findings and conclusions from our deliberations to date as a baseline for
discussion with the City.
There is a serious and wide spread parking problem caused by a shortage of parking
spaces.
2. A City ordinance prohibits encroachment on city property or right of way easements by
property owners for parking. Throughout the city property owners bordering city
property and right of way have used these areas for parking. This situation has existed in
the city for at least 75 years - basically since it was formed.
3. The City desires that the property owners on the east side of Beach Drive discontinue this
long standing practice of parking in the area viewed by the City as a public right of way.
There have been complaints by sonic of the nearby property owners regarding specific
abuses and the visual affect of parked cars. The City is also concerned about satisfying
certain elements of the General Plan and a potential financial liability pertaining to "private
use" of these "public areas".
4. There are about a dozen properties impacted along Beach Drive that presently park or
have been parking in this abandoned strip. None of the committee members were told by
the city when the property was purchased that it was illegal to park on the strip. No
restrictions were found on the title insurance policies of these properties restricting their
use of the 22 foot strip.
5. The City of Hermosa Beach requires a property building report on all sales. The building
reports have not mentioned any illegalities of the strip parking. Only in the past few
years has this been an issue.
6. All of the property owners on this committee purchased their homes with the ability to
use the abandoned strip for parking. In fact, many of the east side residences have been
specifically designed incorporating use of this area for parking. The ambiance created by
the pedestrian street extending to the beach is unique to the City. Any changes made to
this strip would have a profound and adverse impact on the neighborhood, and would also
3
create a substantial financial loss to the home owners who presently use, landscape and
maintain this 22 foot strip at their own expense
7. The city has agreed with some of the Strand owners bordering the walk streets to allow
parking, with certain conditions, in the abandoned 22 foot strip. The property owners
affected are in front of the east side Beach Drive properties when looking west toward the
ocean.
8. The City has established a precedent by entering an agreement with the Strand property
residents bordering the walk streets. A similar agreement should be considered for those
properties located across Beach Drive from the Strand.
9. The committee unanimously agrees that any enforcement of the parking restrictions on the
east side of Beach Drive would be prejudicial and constitute a segregated and singular
enforcement against a practice that exists city wide. Any type of selective enforcement of
a city compliance problem does not serve the bests interests of the community.
Proposal
We propose the following:
1. The east side property owners deed to the city the 8 feet of the property owner's lot now
used as the walk street.
2. Tile city confirms and records its abandonment of the remaining 22 feet of the original
dedication easement against the property owner's property.
3. The property owners shall be required to come into compliance with the following agreed
upon restrictions when they remodel over 50% of the structure located on their property:
a. No parking within 20 feet or 50% of the width at the walk street, whichever is less, of
the lot directly to the east.
b. A permanent barrier shall be placed 20 feet or 50% of the width of the lot at the walk
street, which ever is less, from the lot directly to the east.
c. No wall or fence shall grater than 3 feet high.
d. Landscaping shall not exceed 3 feet in height. if landscaping is used as a permanent
barrier, a 6 inch curb shall separate the landscaping and the parking area.
4. Items number 2 and 3 shall not apply to property owners whose lots extend from Beach
Drive to Hermosa Ave. or from street -to -street (for example, the residence located at 99
Hermosa Ave). Parking shall be allowed on the abandoned 22 foot strip.

Honorable Mayor and City Council of Hermosa Beach
RE: Reconsideration of Action Taken Re: Parking and Barriers on January 14, 1997.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
I have prepared this letter in order to ask you to reconsider the action taken by this
Council on January 14, 1997 .in which available parking was potentially or actually eliminated
from the City of Hermosa Beach without consideration of the special circumstances which my
situation presents.
I recently purchased on a home in the Walk Street area and did so with the understanding
that I had 2 parking places adjacent to the street
Lam the single mother of two children. I am a paramedic and firefighter with the Los
Angeles Fire Department and I work 24 hour shifts at the fire station up to 15 days a month.
My child requires a lung machine at home. This requires me to employ a live-in
Nurse/Nanny to care for one of my children who has a medical condition involving his lungs and
ability to breath which requires him to frequently undertake medical treatments, attend doctors
office visits and to be admitted to the Emergency Room when warranted.
My Nanny/Nurse must be able to constantly attend to my child's needs and would have
little time to seek remote parking in an emergency. If the Council enforces their action as it
appears intent on doing, my child's health could be significantly affected. This was not properly
considered by the Council and I hope you will reconsider your actions with this in mind.
Furthermore, I purchased my home with the express understanding that the parking
spaces were available. 1993-94 plan drawings filed with permits and approved by the City show
the presence of parking spaces immediately adjacent to one of the access doors. These are the
parking places which I understand the City intends to wall or barricade off. This is the parking
area used by the Nurse/Nanny who cares for my children.
I also have a legal rental unit in my newly remodeled duplex which I purchase 6 months
ago. I have an annual lease for that unit. My tenants have relied upon the presence of at least 2
parking spaces for tenant parking. Elimination of this parking will cause extreme financial and
medical hardships for me and my family.
Please reconsider your actions with my circumstances in mind. Thank you for your kind
consideration of this matter

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach City Council January 28, 1997
SUBJECT: WAIVER OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION FEE
REQUESTED BY: PATRICIA TURNER
1150 1 ST STREET
Recommendation
To deny the requested fee waiver.
Background
The applicant currently operates a "small family day care home" (maximum 6 children) and
desires to expand her use into a "large family day care home" which is defined by both State
Law and the City's Municipal Code as a day care home for between 7 and 12 children. A
Conditional Use Permit is required for a large family day care home in the R-1 zone.
Standards for granting such a C.U.P. include the availability of a minimum of 6 on-site
parking spaces in addition to parking for the residence.
The current fee to apply for a Conditional Use Permit is $1,037, to cover the review, noticing,
and permitting costs.
Analysis
The applicant is requesting a fee waiver based on Section 2.52.20 of the Municipal Code,
entitled "City Council waiver of appeal fees," which states that if the City Council determines
that its in the public interest, it may waive required fees based on a finding of demonstrated
financial hardship shown by the applicant, appellant, or petitioner.
In regards to whether its in the public interest to waive the fees for this case, no argument is
made by the applicant based on public interest. Further staff does not see any connection
between the public interest the proposed expansion to the day care home which would
essentially increase its profitability. The alleged financial hardship is only briefly explained in
the attached letter.
Further, when considering whether to grant the C.U.P. for this use, the Planning Commission
will have to consider whether findings can be made to waive the 6 -space parking requirement,
and whether such an expanded use may actually be a detriment to the public interest --given
the inadequate on-site parking and unloading areas; the small lot size (25'X85'); and the
single-family character of the neighborhood.

Re: Fee Waiver Request for Conditional Use Permit Application by
Patricia Turner
Dear Mr. Burrell:
This firm, at the request of Public Counsel, represents Ms. Patricia Turner in
connection with the application she intends to submit to the City of Hermosa Beach (the "City") for
a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") to operate a large family day care home out her residence at 1150
1 st Street. By this letter, and pursuant to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code § 2.52.020, we request
that the City waive the $1037.00 fee that Ms. Turner otherwise must submit with her CUP
application.!' On January 14, 1997, I spoke with Sol Blumenfeld, the Director of Community
Development, regarding Ms. Turner's fee waiver request. He suggested that I send a letter to your
attention, with a copy to Mr. Blumenfeld, so that this matter could be placed on the agenda and
considered at the next City Council meeting.
Section 2.52.020 of the Municipal Code provides as follows:
In those instances where the city council, by resolution, determines it
in the public interest to accept applications ... without the requisite
filing fee, the city shall accept such applications ... through the city
council subject to the requirements specified in said resolution. The
city council, in making its determination as to whether to waive the
required fee, shall only do so based on a finding of demonstrated
financial hardship shown by the applicant . . . . In making its
I/ We determined the amount of the fee from the City's CUP application which
provides that the CUP fee is $1037.00 for a project for which no environmental
assessment is required. Pursuant to Health & Safety Code § 1597.46(b), large
family day care homes are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq.).

determination, the city council may waive all or part of the fee
normally charged for the application ....
Ms. Turner requests that the City waive the fee because to pay it would cause her
great financial hardship. Ms. Turner's monthly gross income from her existing small family day care
home services is $2,875.00. After taxes, Ms. Turner pays monthly expenses totaling approximately
$1,142.00, in addition to a rent payment of $1500.00 for her residence at 1150 1st Street. She is the
primary household income -earner and is financially responsible for her 20 year-old son, who attends
college at El Camino Junior College.
As such, we respectfully request that the City adopt a resolution finding that the public
interest will be served by permitting Ms. Turner to submit her CUP application without the $103 7.00
fee. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding Ms. Turner's
request, and please let me know at your earliest convenience when our request will be considered by
the City Council. Thank you in advance for your assistance and cooperation.

community has been so focused and that this Council, composed
of five very different individuals, is a microcosm of the

their differences, much has been accomplished, none of which
would have been possible if the citizens of the community had
not allowed it to happen. He said that he, his fellow

citizens, who represent the City of Hermosa Beach and that it
is the citizens who purchased the Greenbelt, -built South Park,
and are revitalizing the downtown. He introduced and thanked
his family members for their patience and support and for

This item was removed from the consent calendar by
Councilmember Edgerton, at the request of Shirley Cassell, for
separate discussion later in the meeting.
City Manager Burrell presented the staff report and responded
to Council questions. Referring to the supplemental document
distributed this evening, he noted additional revisions to the
agreement:
Coming forward to address the Council on this item were:
Shirley Cassell - Hermosa Beach, objected to portions of
the agreement, including locking the City into a 30 -
year contract, the loss of City control with regard
to beach events, County advertising, and the
construction of a second parking structure; and
Parker Herriott - Hermosa Beach, expressed concern that
the item had not been properly noticed and suggested
that Council postpone action or check with the City
Attorney; he then referred to a County resolution
and noted that the Hermosa Beach is not County -owned
or County -operated.
City Attorney Michael Jenkins responded to Council questions,
saying the construction of a second parking structure would be
up to the City but, if the City did decide to have a second

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of

SCHOOL DISTRICT REQUEST FOR GRANT FUNDS COLLECTED PER THE
CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
Recommendation
It is recommended by the former Cable Television Advisory Board and staff that Council
approve an allocation of $50,000 from Grant funds received from Century
Communications to the School District to pay for multimedia laboratory equipment.
Background
Per the City's franchise agreement, the City received a total of $225,000 from Century
Communications on June 11, 1996. Funds were deposited to a General Fund revenue
account and are now part of the fund balance.
These funds can be used for a variety of purposes (see Attachment B: Exhibit E) but were
negotiated with anticipated needs that were assessed both from the City and the Hermosa
Beach School District. Specifically, the City wished to renovate the Council Chambers
and to upgrade the equipment used to transmit meetings over cable television. In addition,
the School District presented the Board with a Multimedia plan which they implemented in
FY 95-96 (see Attachment A).
Analysis
Prior to the completion of their duties, the Cable Television Advisory Board provided
Council with a wrap-up report which encouraged the City to provide the District with the
funds as requested (Attachment Q.
In anticipation of the City's reimbursement, the School District has completed their local
area network at a total cost of $73,782 and have requested $50,000 from the cable grant
funds to help offset that cost.
With this approval, the City will fulfill one of the original objectives of the grant funds
with the remaining $175,000 to be allocated to the Council Chamber upgrade project.
Fiscal Impact: Expenditure of $50,000 from the $225,000 Cable Franchise Transfer
Funds. Balance remaining: $175,000.

Re: Hermosa Beach City School District Proposal for
Franchise Tax Funds
Dear Ms. Rooney:

----------------------
On November 1, 1994 the Hermosa Beach City Council received a
report from the Cable Television Advisory Board. As a part of their
recommendation to the Council, they specifically encouraged the
council as follows: "in evaluating expenditures for the $250,000 grant
money, the spirit of the . original request should be considered
including City needs and the needs of the Hermosa Beach School
District." During the advisory board's meetings and franchise
negotiations, it was recommended that $50,000 be made available to the
school district to use in upgrading the multimedia lab cable and related
equipment and/or audio equipment/ aides.
During 1995/96, the Hermosa Beach City School District expended
$73,782 in the Hermosa Valley Technology Project. The following is a
brief overview of the project:
Project Description
The project consisted of putting in place a campus wide local area
network which allows users in every classroom, lab, etc., network
accessibility at Hermosa Valley School. The local area network is tied
into Redondo Union High School via Frame Relay and a router
communicating to Redondo's LAN using TCP/IP protocol. The project
consisted of networking the entire campus with category 5.10BaseT
cabling integrating the cabling with various hubs creating network
segments to avoid bottlenecks and interconnecting the LAN to
Redondo Union High School. This project also consisted of installing
and integrating a digital phone system with integrated voice mail
capability which involved additional voice cabling to the telephone
equipment.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the
Hermosa Beach City Council
Attachment C
Regular Meeting of
November 8, 1994
CABLE TELEVISION ADVISORY BOARD - FINAL REPORT
Recommendation
It is recommended by the Cable Television Advisory Board and staff that City Council:
Accept the Cable Television Advisory Board's work as complete and dissolve the
current Board;
2. Direct staff to amend Ordinance #94-1116 to add a provision to include the formation
of an Advisory Board for the next franchise renewal; and
3. Receive and File this report.
Background
With the adoption of three (3) new ordinances related to the regulation of Cable
Television, the Cable Television Advisory Board has successfully completed the duties as
described in Chapter 7.5 of the City's former Cable Television Franchise Administration
Ordinance (attached).
Analysis
Future Role of Cable Board
At their October 17, 1994 meeting, the Board evaluated the process they had just
completed and considered what role a Cable Television Advisory Board might play in the
future in Hermosa Beach.
From their discussion, they concluded that the value of a Board as a tool for franchise
administration (throughout the franchise period) would be of limited utility but felt that the
involvement of local consumers in evaluating the franchise and negotiating its renewal
would be of great benefit to the City in the future.
As such, they recommend that a provision be added to the newly adopted general
operating ordinance (using the same terms as indicated by the attached ordinance) that
would require the City to assemble a Board prior to the expiration of the current or future
franchise(s).
Remaining items
The Cable Board also wants to convey their remaining concerns to Council regarding
administration for the existing franchise with ML Media. Specifically, they want to
encourage Council to:
A. Set aside some of the grant money and/or 5% franchise fee each year to hire a Cable
Television Consulting firm(s) to assist the City with franchise administration, rate
regulation and auditing.
B. Keep abreast of MultiVision's policies and performance with regards to public access.
Include annual reviews.
C. In evaluating expenditures for the $250,000 grant money, the spirit of the original
request should be considered including City needs and the needs of the Hermosa
Beach School District.
Thanks to the Board
With Council's approval, staff will proceed to prepare plaques to recognize the Board
Members for their two (2) year commitment. The Cable Television Advisory Board is to
be congratulated for participating in a complex negotiation; for taking great efforts to
maximize public participation during the renewal process; and for their professionalism
and courtesy throughout. The City of Hermosa Beach was served well by this Board both
from the collective competency of its members and from their dedication to the task at
hand. As a result of their efforts, the City's cable television consumers will benefit from
an expanded system and improved customer service over the next decade.

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY PARADE AND FESTIVAL:
SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1997
Recommendation
It is recommended by the Downtown Enhancement Commission and staff that Council:
1. Approve the street closure request from the South Bay Saint Patrick's Day Committee
for the Saint Patrick's Day Parade and Festival.
2. Approve the allocation of $5,000 from the DEC Fund.
3. Approve a $2,000 allocation from Prop A Transportation Funds to pay for
shuttle bus service from Mira Costa High School.
4. Approve Fee Waivers: Event, Banner, Amplification Permit, Parking
5. Approve charging actual costs only (hourly rates per employee) for: Police, Fire,
Public Works Personnel.
Background
The event application from the SBSPDC includes a request for $5,000 from the DEC
Fund which was approved by Council in the 1996-97 budget. At their December 4, 1996
meeting, the DEC approved the street closure request from the SBSPDC and the
allocation of $5,000 from the DEC Fund.
Analysis
The parade staging area will be located on Valley Drive from Pier Avenue to 8th Street
using:
• City Hall Parking Lot,
• Valley Drive,
• the Greenbelt, and
• beyond 8th Street on the Greenbelt Parking Lot.
This newly designed staging area will reduce the need for traffic control on the north side
of town (previously the parade staging area included Valley Drive on the north side of Pier
Avenue) and will enhance residential access on Valley Drive.
The parade route will begin on Pier Avenue at Valley Drive and will proceed west bound
to Hermosa Avenue where it will turn south bound (on the east side of Hermosa Avenue)
and end at 8th Street.
In order to address downtown construction, vendor booths and the festival area will be
located as follows:
• Hermosa Avenue from Pier Avenue to 10th Street (south) and 14th Street (north)
• 13th Street from Hermosa Avenue to Parking Lot C Entrance
• Parking Lot A (if the committee cannot secure Parking Lot A, they will extend the
use of Hermosa Avenue south to 8th Street)
• 11th Street west of Hermosa Avenue to Beach Drive
• Public Beach (TBD)
Attached is a recommended event contract and event details as submitted by the SBSPDC.
Event organizers and City staff have met to discuss the proposed event and to review
safety and operational concerns.
Clearly, the Saint Patrick's Day Parade will be a well timed special event for the
downtown area. The event organizers have included provisions for free booth space for
lower Pier Avenue merchants this year in order to allow them to have additional exposure
at the event, making the Saint Patrick's Day Parade both a fun community event and a
potential boost for merchants during downtown construction.

RE: 1997 St. Patrick's Day Parade & Festival
Dear Mayor Oakes and Member of the Council:
The St. Patrick's Day & Festival Committee would like to thank you for your support the
City Council has provided for the last two years and request your approval of the
Downtown Enhancement Commission's recommendation for our 1997 Parade and
Festival.
As a result of discussions with City officials and the redevelopment work on lower Pier
Avenue, we are proposing several changes from last years events. The Parade will be
shortened, returning to the original route from City Hall down Pier Avenue to Hermosa
Avenue South (on the east side of Hermosa) to 8th Street and east to disband. The west
side of Hermosa Avenue will be utilized for Festival vendor space with an additional
stage at 8th and Hermosa. Pier Avenue from Manhattan to Beach and Hermosa Avenue
from 14th to 8th would be closed to traffic from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.
In view of redevelopment activities on lower Pier and the support the merchants have
given the events in the past, the Committee will offer free vendor space on 11th Street
from Hermosa Avenue to the parking lot entrance to any Pier Avenue business, retail and
restaurant that would like to participate in the days events. To facilitate foot traffic in
that area, we are proposing placing the ancient Irish village encampment on the Beach,
just west of the Strand at 11 th Street.
The Committee will again encourage all business in Hermosa Beach to participate in
both the parade and the festival. Our success the last two years received positive
response from both the residential and business community. We know that the parade
will continue to benefit the city and the businesses throughout the city from the large
numbers of visitors to the event and the extensive media coverage provided by the Los
Angeles Radio and Television News industry.
A summary of the items the St. Patrick's Day Committee has requested the
Hermosa Beach City Council to approve:
=> Authorization to utilize $5,000 as allocated in the D.E.C. budget for Parade
expenses.
=> Authorization to utilize up to $2,000 of City Proposition A or C Transportation
funds for bus transportation to and from remote parking.
=> Waiver of Parking Fees, Street Banner Fees, Amplification Permit fees and other

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Regular Meeting of
Hermosa Beach City Council January 28, 1997
COMMUNITY CENTER FOUNDATION LEASE AGREEMENT
CONSENT TO ALLOW SHARED USE WITH ARTS HERMOSA
Recommendation
It is recommended by the Community Center Foundation Board and staff that Council
approve the shared use of Room C in the Community Center with Arts Hermosa.
Background
At the June 11, 1996 meeting, Council approved a one year lease agreement with the
Hermosa Beach Community Center Foundation for the use of office space (Room C) in
the Center (attached). City Council waived the lease fees for the use of this space,
representing a $3,480 subsidy to the Foundation.
Section 14 in this agreement requires written consent of the City for assignments and
subletting.
Analysis
Arts Hermosa offices have been located at 200 Pier Avenue for the past year. .In an effort
to make more funds available for art programs, they terminated this commercial lease as of
January, 1997.
Arts Hermosa requested that the Foundation Board consider sharing their Community
Center office space in order to enhance the presence of Arts Hermosa in the City and to
lead to potential cooperative projects between the two organizations.
The Board approved this request at their December meeting and requested that staff
forward on to City Council.
Clearly both organizations exist solely to contribute funds and sponsor programs that
benefit the Hermosa Beach community. Council's approval of the shared use would help
to ensure that these organizations continue to meet their missions in adding to the cultural
opportunities in the City.
Fiscal Impact: None

�.�./��•
Regular Meeting of
January 28, 1997
AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PARKING STRUCTURE
It is recommended that City Council:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Gordon H. Chong & Partners
of San Francisco, to provide Architectural Design And Engineering for the parking
structure at Parking Lot C in the amount of $380,000 once an agreement with County
Prop A is signed.
2. Advance $430,000 from Sewer Fund to Prop A Open space Fund.
3. Appropriate $430,000 from Prop A Open Space to Capital Improvement Program
#624.
4. Authorize the Director of Public Works to issue addenda as necessary not to exceed
a total contract cost of $430,000.
Background:
A conceptual parking layout by Walker Consulting Group has estimated 480 parking stalls in a 3
level parking structure with height ranging from 22.5 feet to 30 feet. Access to the parking structure
is provided at Fourteenth Court and at Thirteenth Street. This parking structure will acquire 10' of
the public right of way along Thirteenth Street. Also, the parking structure will include up to 7,000
square feet of retail use along Hermosa Avenue.
Analysis:
The City of Hermosa Beach advertised requests for proposals and received 7 proposals by closing
day on October 24, 1996. Four of the most qualified firms were selected for presentation and
interview by the selection committee consisting of the City Manager, the Public Works Director, the
Community Development Director, the Community Resources Director, the Police Chief and the Fire
chief. These firms were, 1) Walker Parking Consultants of Newport Beach, CA, 2) The Austin
Company of Irvine, CA, 3) Parkitects of Irvine, CA, 4) Gordon Chong of San Francisco, CA. At the
conclusion of the interview and negotiation with these firms the committee's decision was to choose
Gordon Chong group, which demonstrated design excellence in parking structures, particularly in an
urban context.
Fiscal Impact:
This project is funded by a combination of County Funds and a contribution from a private
developer. The hotel development located at the corner of Beach Drive and Thirteenth Street is
contributing toward the construction of the parking structure in exchange for 100 parking spaces. 1h

Re: Consent calendar item 1(i), adoption of Planning
Commission action minutes for 1-21-97 meeting
Councilmembers:
At their meeting last week the Planning Commission rejected
Paul Hennessey's request for retroactive approval of the two
extra bars he built last summer. Now, I expect that he will
be asking you to vote to appeal the Planning Commission's
decision to yourselves. I hope you will not do so. Here is
why.
Hennessey tried to explain away his fait accompli by
portraying himself as a person wronged by the City,
suggesting that the City and the Commission had
misinterpreted the building plans he submitted last year.
But that could not be further from the truth.
The plans he submitted last year denoted the area where he
built a new bar downstairs as a "lunch counter." And the
tapes of the February 20 Commission meeting where the plans
were approved reveal that Staff and Commissioners made it
very clear to Hennessey, who was present, how they
interpreted those plans. Community Development Director
Blumenfeld said: "The bar that was shown on the [previously
rejected] plan has been relabeled for its correct use which
is a lunch counter." Commissioner Dettelbach said:
"Assuming the interior is built out as designed there
appears to be a natural barrier between the tavern and where
the dining and the restaurant's going to be. The concern I
had last time was that we were going to have a 4000 square
foot pub on the corner down there." Commissioner Tucker
said: "The other bar area wasn't clear. I thought it was
probably going to end up being a liquor service bar. As
they indicated now on the plans it's going to be an eating
bar."
Clearly it is not the City's fault, in any way, that
Hennessey built two extra bars - so the taxpayers should not
absorb any of the associated costs. If Hennessey wants to
appeal, let him pay for it himself.

Regular Meeting of
January 28, 1997
RESOLUTION FOR APPLICATION FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN

Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council: 4
,1
1. Approve and adopt Resolution No 97-. , a resolution to the Gity Council of the City
of Hermosa Beach, as
a) approving preparation of the application for Transportation Improvement
Program (T.I.P.) funds for the reconstruction of the Strand Bikeway and Strand
wall, and
the�onstructio the bi w end
I tMa an Be
Background:
On December 23, 1997, staff received correspondence from the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority regarding application for T.I.P. funds for the construction
or reconstruction of bicycle and pedestrian lanes. These funds must be applied for by
February 14, 1997. All correspondence, fact sheets and claim forms are in the City Clerk's for
review.
Analysis:
Funds will be available County wide for bikeway and pedestrian projects of regional
significance. These T.I.P. funds will be allocated at the discretion of the MTA for new facility
construction, major reconstruction, or for off-street bikeway maintenance.
The Strand bikeway including the sandwall between 24th and 35th Streets is in need of
reconstruction. At the same time new construction is needed to extend the Hermosa Beach
bikeway to meet the Manhattan Beach existing bikeway. This would also entail construction of
the Strand wall and reconstruction of the sewer pump station adjacent to 35th Street.
This project is estimated to cost $801,000 to be requested from Los Angeles County and
represents a large portion of the funds available County wide. This application asks for MTA to
phase this project over a three year period and set aside 267,000 annually for each of those
years.
Fiscal Impact:
None as no funds are being expended at this time. This is an application for funding.
ii
Alternative:
An alternative to City Council is:
Do nothing; thereby, allowing possible available funds to lapse to the County.

Honorable Members of the City Council of Hermosa Beach
City Hall
Hermosa Beach, CA
Re: Item (j) on Consent Calendar -- Recommendation to adopt
resolution re application for TIP funds for reconstruction
of Strand bikeway and for connection with Manhattan Beach
bikeway
Dear Councilmembers:
I am writing to express my opposition to the above -
referenced recommendation insofar as it calls for the
construction of a bikeway from the north end of the Strand to
connect with the Manhattan Beach bikeway. Such a connection will
create an unsafe condition by merging at one location all of the
bikers, skateboarders and skaters traveling on the separate
Manhattan Beach bikeway with all of the pedestrians on the
Strand.
As you know, the Strand is currently connected at its
northern and to the Manhattan Beach bike path by a set of
stairs. Some years ago, there was also a ramp connecting these
points. That ramp was removed after many accidents and injuries
involving bikers, skaters and skateboarders travelling down that
ramp unsafely. I oppose reintroducing a ramp in this area. Even
if a more gradual connection were constructed across the sand,
the same safety hazard caused by merging at one point all those
on the separate Manhattan Beach bikeway with pedestrians on the
Strand would exist. In contrast, at present many bikers,
skateboarders and skaters elect to travel on the Hermosa Avenue
bike path, gradually filtering down to the Strand at various
points between 34th and 24th which has alleviated the problems
experienced when everyone merged at 35th. After people have
traveled for miles on the totally separate bikeway to the north,
it has proven much safer to assimilate them gradually with the
pedestrian traffic on the Strand rather than having one
bottleneck at 35th.
It is difficult to understand why the City would consider
adding a ramp or similar connection in light of this history.
The only conceivable reason would be if County funds cannot be
obtained without this change. However, I am informed by Mr.
Shubach that the bike path does not need to be "continuous" in
order to qualify for County funds and that such funds are
SUPPLEMENTAL
INFORMATION
It
Jan -27-97 06:04P James A Hamilton 619 771 3318 P.02
available even if bikers are required to dismount, as is now the
case not only at the stairs at the Strand and 35th, but also in
the Pier area during busy periods and at the Redondo pier.
Therefore, it would make sense to apply for County funds for the
Strand bikeway as presently configured. Even if the County
should question whether a ramp or other similar connection should
be added, it would not likely insist on the same once the safety
hazards are made known.
Accordingly, I urge the City Council to adopt the resolution
approving the preparation of an application for County funds for
the Strand bikeway, but without calling for any change in the
manner in which the Strand bikeway is connected to the Manhattan
Beach bikeway. This would avoid the substantial increased hazard
that would result from adding an additional connection in this
area while still allowing the City to obtain county funds for the
much needed repair and maintenance of the strand.
Very truly
j yours,

SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE 96-2
LOCATION: 603 AND 623 3RD STREET & 322 ARDMORE AVE.
PURPOSE: To Amend the Zoning Map to be Consistent with the General Plan
Recommendation
Approve the Zone Change as provided in the attached Ordinance.

Negative Declaration Recommended
At the meeting of January 16, 1996 the Planning Commission recommended that these three parcels not be
rezoned in conjunction with several other adjacent properties. The Planning Commission noted that it had
been policy in the past not to change the zoning on.the parcels in this vicinity except when requested by the
property owner.
At the Apri19, 1996 City Council meeting, the Council approved the rezoning of the adjacent properties in
connection with a proposed project and directed that the subject parcels be brought back to consider for
rezoning at a future date with notice to the property owners.
At the October 15, 1996 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission adopted the attached Resolution
recommending rezoning the property to R-2, Two Family Residential consistent with the City's General Plan.
Analysis
Two of subject lots are adjacent and all are held under separate ownership. The reuse of the subject lots for all
but smaller industrial uses would typically require land assembly and rezoning to create a parcel large enough
to accommodate building(s) and surface parking. The subject lots range in size from 2,038 square feet to 5,238
square feet and contain a commercial/industrial building of approximately 3000 square feet. The lots
accommodate a smaller industrial user but not a typical larger industrial tenant' and the non -conforming
residential buildings would require redevelopment for industrial use. The adjacent property has been recently
rezoned for redevelopment of nine detached condominium units, changing the property from M-1 to R-2, and
as a result the subject lots have technically become "spot -zoned", i.e. rezoned lots incompatible with
surrounding uses and not consistent with the General Plan. Spot zoning is considered illegal when small
parcels are singled out for special and privileged treatment and the singling out is not in the public interest, but
only benefits the land owner, and the action is inconsistent with the General Plan. Staff believes that the lots
should be rezoned for the following reasons:
1. Pursuant to Section 65860 of the State Planning and Zoning law, the Zoning Ordinance must be consistent
with the General Plan and as noted, the zoning and General Plan are inconsistent.
2. The two 3rd Street lots are already developed residentially and the proposed residential zoning is consistent
with the adjacent residentially uses.
3. Changing the zoning for the Ardmore lot, currently an auto related use, will not make that use any more
non -conforming, as the use is not permitted in the M Zone or the R Zone. Further, the Zoning Ordinance
provides that the current use may remain as long as it exists and there is no requirement that the use vacate
the premises and/or the building be demolished.
4., The City cannot issue discretionary permits for development on the subject property as long as the General
Plan and zoning are inconsistent. A nonconforming building can be rebuilt as provided under
Section 17.52.070 which permits reconstruction of non -conforming buildings and uses when less than 50%
of the building is damaged and replaced.
Therefore staff recommends that the subject properties be rezoned for consistency with the General Plan and
conformity with the primarily residential uses in the area.

Regular Meeting of
January 21, 1997
REPORT ON THE MORATORIUM ON THE DEMOLITION OR
MODIFICATION OF HISTORIC AND ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT
STRUCTURES
Recommendation:
That the City Council receive this report and adopt the attached ordinance on an urgency
basis extending the subject moratorium for 10 months, 15 days (this requires a 4/5 vote for
passage).
Background:
The City Council adopted the moratorium at your meeting of December 17, 1996. The
first step in the process requires that the City Council hold a public hearing within 45 days
of its enactment to determine whether or not the need still exists and if it should be
extended to allow more time to review the several alternatives and consider and adopt a
permanent ordinance. Since the adoption of the ordinance, a sub -committee of the City
Council, composed of Councilmembers Bowler and Edgerton, have met with interested
residents in developing a process for a permanent historic preservation ordinance. More
time is required to fully review ordinances from other jurisdictions in order to shape a
proposal that would meet the needs of Hermosa Beach. The committee continues to meet
and is making good progress towards development of a program for Hermosa Beach.
However, it is still necessary for the moratorium to continue so that the committee can
complete its work and prepare a recommendation to the full City Council. Once this is
completed, the City Council will hold a public hearing to determine whether or not the
regulations would be adopted in a permanent ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH EXTENDING A MORATORIUM
ON THE DEMOLITION OR MODIFICATION OF HISTORIC AND ARCHITECTURAL
RESOURCES AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Moratorium extended. The moratorium
established by Ordinance No. 96-1168-U adopted on December 17, 1996
is hereby extended pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 for a
period of ten months and fifteen days to December 16, 1997.
Section 2. Penalty. Violation of any provision of this
Ordinance shall constitute a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by
a fine not to exceed $1,000 or by imprisonment in County jail for
not to exceed six (6) months, or by both such fine and
imprisonment. Each and every day such a violation exists shall
constitute a separate and distinct violation of this Ordinance. In
addition to the foregoing, any violation of this Ordinance shall
constitute a public nuisance and shall be subject to abatement as
provided by all applicable provisions of law.
Section 3. Statement of Purpose and Urgency Findings.
The City of Hermosa Beach has begun to conduct studies relative to
the identification of historically and architecturally significant
resources within the City, and to the efficacy of protecting those
resources by means of an historic preservation ordinance. In order
to do so, it will be necessary to engage the services of
consultants to assist in the identification and inventorying or
historic resources, and to prepare an appropriate historic
preservation ordinance. Pending completion of such studies, and
the preparation and adoption of the appropriate zoning regulations,
it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace,
health, safety and welfare that existing potential historic and
architecturally significant resources not be altered or destroyed,
which would defeat the very purpose of adopting a historic
preservation ordinance; consequently, it is necessary that this
ordinance take effect immediately.
If this ordinance does not take effect immediately,
actions might be undertaken which may be in conflict with the
ordinance ultimately adopted and that historic and architectural
resources might be altered or demolished so as to undermine the
very purpose of that ordinance.
Due to the foregoing circumstances, there is a current
and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare.
Potential architecturally and historically significant resources
961213 V011\MJ\HBMOR2
have been identified by means of a survey, and those resources are
listed in Exhibit A to Ordinance No. 96-1168-U. These structures
are not necessarily the only resources which may be identified, nor
are the structures listed in Exhibit A necessarily ultimately going
to be designated as resources. Nonetheless, the alteration or
demolition of the structures listed in Exhibit A would constitute a
threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. Therefore, it is
necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety
and welfare that this ordinance take effect immediately. This
ordinance is an interim ordinance and shall expire ten months and
fifteen (15) days after the adoption thereof unless extended
pursuant to the provisions of Section 65858 of the Government Code.
This is an interim measure, adopted pursuant to the
authorization of State law in order to maintain the status quo
pending the completion of the studies and adoption of amended
zoning regulations, or sooner. It is not a final disposition as to
development of any particular parcel of property within the City.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 28th day of January, 1997.

Municipal Pier Renovation - Approval of Design
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. j � t rove a ati a the fe a ign iQy�M4uidppa r a i
(/ Pl a oject.
2. Adopt an Environmental Negative Declaration for the Municipal Pier Renovation
Project by adopting the attached resolution.
Direct staff to solicit proposals for construction of a restaurant to be located at the
end of the pier.
Background:
In 1992 the City of Hermosa Beach was allocated $1.5 million in County of L.A.
Proposition A (The Safe Neighborhood Act) funds for improvements to the Municipal
Pier. In February of 1995 the City hired the design team of HLA Infrastructure (Alpha
Engineering) and Paul Zajfen Architects (IBI Group) to prepare an assessment of the
existing pier structure and development of repair and architectural plans for phase I of the
project.
In July of this year, after months of negotiation, the City reached an agreement with the
County Lifeguards with regards to design of new lifeguard facilities to be constructed in
conjunction with the Pier Plaza Improvements. The County agreed to provide a total of
$1,200,000 in funding towards improvements to the lifeguard building, new parking
garages for their emergency vehicles and a new 911 center. These changes will provide
Hermosa Beach with a state of the art lifeguard facility which will be integrated into the
new pier plaza design.
Recently, with the November 5th voter approval of additional Proposition A funding, the
City of Hermosa Beach was granted an additional $1,000,000 in funding for the Pier
Improvements. In addition the City was granted FEMA funding of $90,000 towards
repairs to the pier necessitated by the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
.'
Originally phase I of the project consisted of retrofit improvements to the structural
elements of the pier and construction of a pier plaza area. With receipt of these additional
funds the scope of work as defined in phase I of the project can be increased to include
items of work originally delineated in phase II.
Work on the structural retrofit portion of the design has gone through initial plan check
and is virtually complete. The project architect, Paul Zajfen, has prepared two preliminary
design options for the expanded phase I. Design of the preferred option should be
complete within three months from the date of City Council direction on this item.
The Staff Environmental Review Committee, at their meeting of June 13, 1996 considered
the environmental impacts of the project, and based on the initial study check -list found
that the project could not have a significant effect on the environment (The initial study
check -list is on file in the Community Development Department). The Committee
therefore recommended an Environmental Negative Declaration. The modifications to the
project are not substantial and do not alter any of the initial study findings.
Analysis:
Alternative 1 as prepared by Paul Zajfen in coordination with the County lifeguards and
City staff consists of all improvements originally specified as phase I work including
structural retrofits to the pier piles, bent caps and deck and a redesigned of pier plaza area.
The proposed new plaza will expand beyond that originally proposed in phase I. The result
is a completely covered parking area for emergency vehicles. A new 911 space, women's
locker room and additional storage will also be incorporated into the new under plaza
design. On top the new plaza will utilize the same pavement and lighting types as being
constructed on Lower Pier Avenue. The lifeguard building exterior facade will be
renovated using complementary materials to those in the streetscape.
This alternative additionally proposes to remove the degraded restroom presently located
to the south of the plaza. A new restroom facility and storage area would be constructed
on the north side of the proposed plaza. The distinctive stepped design of this structure
will provide spectacular ocean, beach and plaza overviews. Again the same upscale
materials used in the Lower Pier Avenue streetscape will make up the finish for this
beautiful structure.
The Pier itself will be retrofit to bring its structure back to original design standards.
Epoxy coatings and removal and replacement of spalled and delaminated concrete sections
will enhance the Pier's appearance as well as it's structural integrity. Items of work
originally specified to be performed in phase II such as a new deck surface, stainless steel
handrails with integral fiber optic lighting, removal of the existing structure and installation
of benches will provide for a complete improvement. The only items of phase II work left
undone would be the construction of fishing platforms and the cafe/observation deck at
the end of the pier. It is suggested that a tenant be sought for the proposed cafe and that
this structure be built to specification when a lease is agreed to.
Costs to complete Alternative 1 include:

Alternative 2 would allow for a somewhat smaller plaza area and eliminates the removal of
the existing restroom to the south and reconstruction of the restroom/amphitheater
facilities on the north side of pier plaza.
Costs to complete Alternative 2 include:
1. Pier Structural Retrofit Costs
$
680,000
2. Plaza, Lifeguard, and Deck
$1,620,000

The Department of Public Works feels that the renovation of the pier plaza area should
include improvements to the nearby restroom facility. It is therefor suggested that
Alternative 1 be the preferred preliminary design for the Municipal Pier and Pier Plaza
Project.

2 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, TO ADOPT AN ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION
3 FOR THE PIER AND PIER PLAZA RENOVATION PROJECT
4
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on January 28, 1997, to receive oral
5
and written testimony regarding the design and the environmental impacts of the Municipal Pier
6
and Pier Plaza renovation project, and made the following findings:
7 A. The Municipal Pier and Pier Plaza Renovation Project includes repairs to the pier structure
8 in order to bring the pier into compliance with State seismic safety requirements; the
9 development of a pier plaza at the foot of the pier; the replacement of the existing building
10
on the seaward end of the pier; construction of new fishing platforms; and visual
11
enhancements by replacing the guardrails, lighting, furnishimgs, etc.,
12
B. Specifications within the project plans will require that temporary scaffolding and
13
platforms and catch nets prevent concrete and other removals from falling into the ocean
14
or onto the beach;
15
C. The City Council concurs with the Staff Environmental Review Committee's
16
recommendation, based on their environmental assessment/initial study that the
17
Municipal Pier and Pier Plaza Renovation project will result in a less than significant
18
impact on the environment, and therefore qualifies for a Negative Declaration
19
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Hermosa
20 Beach, California does hereby resolve as follows:
21 SECTION 1. To adopt a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts associated with the
22 subject Pier and Pier Plaza renovation project.
23 SECTION 2. That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution and
24 enter it into the book of original Resolutions.

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
City Council Meeting of
January 28, 1997
1995-96 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
(Including Report from Independent Auditor)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the 1995-96 Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR), which includes the report from Caporicci and Larson,
our independent auditors.
Background:
Annually the City has a financial audit performed by an independent certified public
accounting firm. The auditor's report is found behind the second divider labeled
"Financial Section". The City again received an unqualified opinion, which indicates that
the auditor believes the financial statements present a fair picture of the financial position
of the City, as opposed to a qualified opinion, in which the auditor "qualifies" or limits his
opinion for specific reasons, such as lack of fixed asset accounting or significant internal
control deficiencies.
The report is a comprehensive report (as opposed to just financial statements) prepared
in accordance with guidelines provided by the Government Finance Officers Association
(GFOA) and all applicable accounting standards. The City has received the Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the GFOA for the last six years
and the Certificate of Award for Outstanding Financial Reporting from the California
Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) for seven years. The award programs
require a high level of compliance with governmental standards, inclusion of information
well beyond the general purpose financial statements and an unqualified audit opinion.
The 1995-96 CAFR has been submitted to both of the associations for consideration in
the award programs since the certificates are valid for one year only.
Analysls:
The following analysis deals with the General Fund, which is the main operating fund of
the City. Additional analysis of all governmental funds is included in the Transmittal
Letter which begins on page i at the front of the CAFR.
-97
1.
General Fund Revenue
General Fund revenue increased by $2.5 million (31.41 %) over 1994-95. Utility User Tax
(UUT) revenue (almost $1.8M), previously received into a separate fund, is now placed in the
General Fund. One-time revenue received from transfer of the cable television franchise (Tax
category) and surplus retirement funds (Miscellaneous category) account for another $434,356
of the increase. Adjusting total revenue for these non-recurring items and moving the UUT
results in a more reasonable overall increase of 4%.

NOTE:
There is a classification error
in the CAFR wherever General Fund Property Tax is shown (i.e. p.6).
Usually, only current property
taxes show under that
heading, however, for FY 95-96, prior year taxes
were included, which skews the comparison to 94/95.
This chart shows the Property Tax correctly, with a
2.19% increase instead of 7%,
as is displayed in the CAFR. Prior year taxes are shown under Other
Tax.
The three categories of Tax revenue are discussed under a separate heading on the next
page.
Growth in Licenses and Permits is primarily related to building activity. The number of
residential building permits issued grew by 34%; commercial permits, 6%. The assessed
valuation of residential permits increased 108%; commercial permits, 42%.
Use of Money and Property shows a decrease in revenue, due to a one-time Prop A Fund
exchange in the prior year 1994-95. In actuality, if exchange funds are excluded, the category
would have shown a 16% increase due to special event fees.
The increase in Charges for Services is primarily attributable to plan check fees related to the
increased building activity mentioned earlier, and increased ambulance transport fees.
2
Taxes
Revenue from taxes generates 78% of General Fund revenue. The graph below tracks the
three largest revenue sources over the past ten years. The UUT has been the most stable of
the three, with property taxes affected by State actions and sales tax affected by the economy.
All three sources show positive trend lines.

Community Development costs, i.e. plan check and inspection services, increased as a result
of higher building activity.
The decrease in Culture/Recreation is the result of moving Parks to the Public Works category
and combining it with Public Works Administration in 1995-96. Several divisions citywide were
combined to simplify record keeping and reporting.
The decrease in Capital Outlay reflects purchase of the new telephone system last year.
General Fund Balance
Fund balance as a percent of expenditures is a measure of the City's cushion against
economic uncertainties or revenue shortfalls. Bond rating agencies have historically
considered at least a 5% reserve "prudent", however, level of reserves should be decided
based on individual circumstances and the economic climate. The General Fund balance is
17.4% of expenditures.
An additional $421,879 is shown as unreserved at year end. $225,000 of that amount are
cable television franchise transfer funds. (A recommendation will be made at Midyear Budget
Review for City use of funds; item E on this agenda deals with allocation to the School District.)
The balance of the $421,879 is for reappropriations from the previous budget.

and equipment through transfers of surplus funds from the General Fund and excess
retirement funds.
As a result, a Compensated Absences Fund and an Equipment Replacement Fund were
established, and the fund equity in the Insurance Fund was increased by $461,706.
Midyear Budget Review (scheduled for the next Council meeting) provides the next opportunity
to review our financial picture.
Gary Caporicci, one of the partners in charge of our audit, will be present at the meeting.

December 9, 1996
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Hermosa Beach, California
1 am pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the City of
Hermosa Beach ("City"). The report covers the period July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996.
Responsibility for the accuracy and fairness of presentation, including all disclosures, rests
with the City. We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects; that it
is presented in a manner designed to set forth the financial position and results of
operations of the City as measured by the financial activity of its various funds; and that all
disclosures necessary for the reader's maximum understanding of the City's financial
affairs are included.
The City prepared this report following the guidelines recommended by the Government
Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). The GFOA and
the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers both have award programs for reports
that substantially conform to high standards of reporting set by various standard-setting
bodies, including the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. In accordance with
these standards, the report contains three distinct sections:
1. Introductory Section - letter of transmittal, listing of principal officers, and
organization chart.
2. Financial Section - general purpose financial statements, notes to the
general purpose financial statements, combining and individual fund and
account group statements and schedules.
3. Statistical Section - a variety of financial, physical, economic and social data
presenting trends and other information intended to give users a broader
understanding of the City.
The Reporting Entity and Its Services
The City of Hermosa Beach is a general law city that incorporated on January 14, 1907.
The City operates under the Council -Manager form of government. Hermosa Beach offers
a full range of municipal services, including police and fire protection, planning and zoning,
recreation and parks, maintenance of public works, enforcement of building codes, parking
and animal control, public improvements and general administration.
Financial information for the Downtown Business Area Enhancement District (formerly the
Vehicle Parking District), Hermosa Beach Parking Authority, and the Lighting/Landscaping
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
11
' and Crossing Guard Districts are included in the City's financial statements as required by
governmental accounting standards. Funds of the Lighting/Landscaping and Crossing
' Guard Districts are shown as Special Revenue Funds; the Downtown Enhancement
District is an Enterprise Fund. Councilmembers serve, in a separate session, as the
governing board for the Parking Authority. A separate Downtown Business Enhancement
' Commission sets policy for the public parking lots, subject to review by the City Council.
The Lighting/Landscaping and Crossing Guard Districts were created as separate
t assessment districts pursuant to Street and Highway Code §22500-22679 and
Government Code §55530-70, respectively, to fund those functional activities.
I
Economic Condition and Outlook
The City of Hermosa Beach is a beachfront, bedroom community with a stable population
located four miles south of Los Angeles International Airport. The State's latest population
estimate for Hermosa Beach is 18,681, however as a beach city, Hermosa experiences a
high visitor population and the associated costs. During the 1995-96 year, beach
11
attendance ranged from a low of 59,300 in November 1995 to a high of 482,000 in June
1996.
The California economy, after a four year decline, is showing definite signs of recovery.
Even though the June 1996 California unemployment rates are higher at 7.2% than the
national unemployment rate of 5.3%, the rate is the lowest in six years. Both UCLA and
the Bank of America project that California will outpace the nation in economic growth.
Other positive notes - two of the three major bond rating agencies upgraded the state's
credit rating to A+ and taxable sales in California rose 7% over the previous year.
The City's revenue base is largely dependent on property taxes (25% of General Fund
revenue), utility user taxes (12% of General Fund revenue) and sales tax (10% of General
Fund revenue). The passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, which limited property taxes
county -wide, virtually eliminated local control of property tax. Property taxes are assessed
at 1 % of market value and are capped at 2% growth per year. The City's total assessed
valuation rose .15% for 1995-96. Even though the increase is slight, the City did have
growth at a time when many cities in California, and all other cities in the South Bay area
of Southern California, are experiencing declining values. The City Council does retain
some local control over sales tax through policy -setting. Sales tax revenue in Hermosa
Beach rose 4% over 1994-95, in addition to the 8% increase the previous year.
Two uncertainties do exist for cities in California. In September 1995, the California
Supreme Court reversed a Court of Appeals decision which reinstated provisions of
Proposition 62. Proposition 62 was a voter initiative which required all general taxes to be
approved by a majority of the voters. Since the decision did not contain an effective date,
address retroactivity or the status of existing taxes, the impact for many cities is unclear.
The impact, if any, for Hermosa Beach is estimated at $50,000 or less.
Another initiative, Proposition 218, was approved by voters in November 1996. The law
affects local government's ability to charge property -related fees and assessments. Due to
the recent passage, the impact is undetermined, however, it appears that the City's
Lighting and Landscaping District will be affected.
Although the exact impact of these initiatives is not yet clear, the intent of the voters is very
clear. Local government must strive to find the most cost effective means of delivering the
services that residents want, at a price that they are willing to pay.
Maior Initiatives
Some of the most significant activities in progress or completed are listed below, grouped
according to functional activity.
General Government
The City of Hermosa Beach, as part of the League of California Cities Library Task Force,
was instrumental in getting legislation passed which allows cities to withdraw from the
County library system, taking with them the property taxes that the city pays into the
system. The legislation provides an option for cities who are dissatisfied with both the
level of service provided to their community by the County and the political aspects of
funding for libraries, which has become an annual uncertainty due to County budget -
balancing difficulties.
Certificates of participation, issued to purchase 19.5 acres of railroad -right-of-way property
for use as parkland, were defeased. Funds accumulated from a 4% voter approved utility
user tax and County of Los Angeles Parks Bond Act funds were used for the defeasance.
In doing so, the City Council was able to rescind the 4% portion of the utility user tax.
A records retention schedule was adopted to govern maintenance and disposition of City
records. The schedule will allow City departments to maintain and dispose of records in a
consistent and orderly manner.
The Business Licensing function was transferred from the Building Division to the Finance
Department. The emphasis will change from enforcement to revenue collection.
Community Development
Implementation of the state -mandated seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry buildings
continues, with over half of the designated buildings nearing completion.
The City Council approved funds to be used for physical consolidation of the Planning and
Building Divisions into a Community Development Department. The first floor of City Hall
will be remodeled to implement the consolidation of the department and provide more
efficient work space for employees.
fli
IPublic Safety
' The City's new Emergency Operations Center is located in the Hermosa Beach Community
Center and is outfitted with satellite capability, emergency generators, radios and audio-
visual equipment. The room will serve as the command post when the City is faced with
emergency conditions such as earthquake, fire, civil unrest ,etc. All City employees are
participating in state -mandated Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS)
training.
The Crossing Guard function, previously funded by an assessment district, was privatized,
with costs being shared by the City and School District.
The City entered into a contract with the City of West Covina to provide a records
management system and upgrade of the police and fire dispatching system. West Covina
currently provides on-line records management systems for ten other cities and provides
software for thirteen others. The system proved to be the most cost- effective, advanced
system available, based on Police Department research.
The City received a Pedestrian Safety Citation Award from the Automobile Club of
Southern California for the distinction of having no pedestrian/automobile accidents for
three years.
Culture/Recreation
The final development phase of a 4.8 acre site purchased from the School District in 1992
was completed. The park includes a roller hockey rink, "tot" lot, picnic facilities and a
sports field.
Public Works
Design work for structural improvements to the City pier are nearing completion. $1.5
million in funding was received from the County Parks Bond Act, with potential for
receiving another $1 million from a similar bond act on the November 1996 ballot.
Improvements will bring the pier into compliance with state earthquake standards.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the fall of 1997.
Design of a downtown improvement plan, which includes roadway, streetscape and
infrastructure improvements, is complete. Construction is scheduled to commence in early
1997. Funding of $1.7 million is available, including funds from an assessment district
comprised of downtown property owners.
For the Future
City Council agendas, minutes, a City roster and electronic mail for City communications is
' currently available to the public through an on-line computer service. The City plans to
make City Council agenda items available to the City Council and the public on disc
initially, with the items available in the future on the website the City is developing. The
� I
iv
City also plans to install facilities management software and an integrated, computerized
cash register system.
$1.5 million will also be received from the County Proposition A Bond Act for municipal pier
renovation. An engineering firm has been hired to suggest structural improvements
necessary to bring the pier up to state earthquake standards.
The Fire Department plans to implement a firefighter reserve program, enter into an
automatic aid agreement with neighboring Manhattan Beach and purchase a new
ambulance and fire engine next fiscal year.
The State Office of Traffic Safety awarded the City a $50,000 grant to implement a Traffic
Safety and Education Program. The program will educate and inform the motoring public
concerning speed related issues. Two motorcycles and a speed monitoring trailer will be
purchased with grant funds.
As part of the City's Source Reduction and Recycling Element, the City plans an audit of
commercial businesses in order to initiate a commercial recycling program.
An application has been submitted for development of an oceanfront, 96 -room hotel. The
plan calls for five meeting rooms, catering kitchens, and spa/exercise facilities. Public
improvements include pedestrian plazas on adjacent streets and an auto plaza at the hotel
entrance. Construction is scheduled to commence in early 1997, pending Planning
Commission and Coastal Commission approval The hotel is designed to complement
downtown improvements which are scheduled to commence at the approximately the same
time.
Accountinq System and Budgetary Control
All governmental fund types and the Agency Fund are maintained on a modified accrual
basis of accounting, with revenue recognized when measurable/available and
expenditures recognized when incurred. Proprietary fund types are accounted for on an
accrual basis of accounting, with revenue recognized when earned and expenses
recognized when incurred.
Internal controls, an integral part of the accounting system, are the methods and
procedures used to safeguard and maintain accountability over assets and to provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded properly, to support preparation of
reliable reports.
The City Council adopts an annual budget by June 30th of each year as required by the
Hermosa Beach Municipal Code. A midyear review of the budget is conducted after the
first six months of the fiscal year to ensure estimates are on target. Other budgetary
amendments are made as needed.
Budgetary control is maintained at the fund level, however, departments are responsible
for oversight of their budget. The City Manager may transfer budgeted amounts between
departments within each fund; transfers between funds require City Council approval.
Revenue and expenditure reports, with budget to actual comparisons, are distributed to the
City Council and department heads monthly. An encumbrance system is used to record
obligations prior to payment, as an aid in controlling expenditures.
General Government Operations
Revenue
The following schedule summarizes General and Special Revenue Fund revenue for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1996 presenting the amount and percentage of increases and
decreases in relation to prior year revenue.
Total $15,071,399 100.00% $2,454,401 19.45%
Revenue for the General and Special Revenue Funds increased 19.45% from 1994-95.
The two tax categories, Property Tax and Other Taxes, represent the largest source of
revenue at 63% of the total. Property taxes increased 17.66%, primarily due the inclusion
of landscaping costs in the Landscaping and Lighting District (previously lighting only) and
an increase in the assessment to recover the full cost of services. The assessment was
left at the same rate for several years to return surplus balances to residents. The
assessment for crossing guards was discontinued and the costs were transferred to the
General Fund.
The 5% increase in the Other Tax category is the net effect of several actions. The City
Council was able to abolish the 4% portion of the utility user tax when certificates of
participation were defeased. Receipts for the remaining 6% portion of the tax increased
due to application of the tax to international, interstate and cellular telephone calls.

Vi
The increase in Licenses and Permits reflects the 34% increase in residential building
permit activity and the 6% increase in commercial building permit activity.
The Use of Money and Property category shows a decrease of 16%. The City exchanged
Proposition A Transit Funds with another city in 1994-95, but not in 1995-96, resulting in a
decrease. In actuality, Special Events Fee revenue almost doubled due to an increase in
the number of events. The increase is masked by the fund exchange in the prior year.
The City received one-time Proposition A Park Bond Act funds in 1994-95 and a higher
amount in 1995-96 for parkland purchases and City Pier improvements, which accounts for
the 21 % increase in the Intergovernmental category.
The 41 % increase in Charges for Services is a result of a new recycling fee and increased
ambulance transport fees, both of which reflect the cost of providing the service. Plan
check fees generated more revenue due to higher building activity.
The increase in Miscellaneous Revenue reflects surplus retirement funds received from
the Public Employees' Retirement System. Funds are being used to increase equity in the
Insurance Internal Service Fund and fund liabilities in the Compensated Absences Fund.
A $90,000 donation was also received from a Hermosa Beach resident to aid in
development of a beachfront park.

� I
IExpenditures in the General and Special Revenue Funds increased 31.50% overall.
' The Community Development category increased by 12.23%, largely due to increased
plan check costs and temporary building inspector services related to the increase in
building activity overall.
' The Culture and Recreation category reflects a large decrease due to a change in
expenditure categories. Parks expenditures were included in this category previously and
are now included in the Public Works category, causing an increase in that category. The
Culture and Leisure category increased 9.59% without the Parks change. The increase
reflects increased costs in the Community Resources Department related to the new roller
hockey facility located in a newly developed park. Costs are offset by roller hockey fees.
Increased expenditures in the Capital Outlay category represent completion of continuing
■ sewer rehabilitation and the expense of the new park mentioned above.
Large increases in the Principal and Interest components of the Debt Service category are
from defeasance costs for certificates of participation used to purchase 19.5 acres of
parkland running through the city. The City has no other debt service.
IProprietary Operations
Proprietary funds account for operations which are financed and operated in a manner
similar to business enterprises. The City uses both enterprise and internal service funds.
The Downtown Enhancement Fund, Parking Fund, Proposition A and Proposition C Transit
Funds are enterprise funds. The Insurance Fund, an internal service fund, accounts for
' insurance costs which are funded by charges to user departments. The Equipment
Replacement Fund, created this year, was established to account for vehicles and
equipment and to provide ongoing funds to replace assets at the end of the asset's useful
■ life.
Downtown Enhancement Fund
The Downtown Business Area Enhancement District Commission oversees downtown
parking lots which are operated by an independent contractor. Funds of the Downtown
Enhancement Area Fund are generated primarily by these lots. The goal of the
commission, and the purpose of the funds, is to promote economic revitalization of
businesses in general, and to improve the physical appearance of the downtown business
district in order to create jobs, attract new businesses and expand the existing tax base.
The Downtown Enhancement Fund had net income of $104,164 for the fiscal year 1995-
96.
VM
Parking Fund
All street parking permit, fine and meter revenue is deposited to the Parking Fund to
finance parking operations and capital improvements. In accordance with the municipal
code, any excess funds are transferred to the General Fund at the end of the year.
Total revenue in the Parking Fund was flat, declining 1.36%.
Transit Funds
Transit funds consist of the Proposition A Fund (the one cent sales tax for Los Angeles
County transportation purposes) and the Proposition C Fund, which is an additional 1/2
cent sales tax approved by the voters. Both Proposition A and Proposition C funds must
be used for transit purposes; Proposition C uses are a bit less restrictive and can be used
for some street purposes.
The City participates in a Dial -A -Ride program with the City of Redondo Beach; a
commuter freeway express bus to downtown Los Angeles; and provides subsidized bus
passes for senior citizens and students.
The Proposition A Fund had retained earnings of $61,885 at year end; the Proposition C
Fund had retained earnings of $233,384.
Insurance Fund
The Insurance Internal Service Fund was created to account for costs associated with the
City's insurance: liability, worker's compensation, unemployment, auto, property and
official's bonds. These costs are distributed to all operating departments in the form of a
service charge. Formulas are designed to capture each departments fair share of the
insurance cost.
Fund liabilities include estimates of amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims
and claims which are assumed to be incurred but not reported (IBNR). The fund ended the
year with equity of $15,426, an improvement over the negative equity position last year.
The City adopted a new policy of transferring one third of any General Fund surplus
($245,687 for 95-96) to the Insurance Fund at year-end to increase fund equity. Surplus
retirement funds in the amount of $104,678 were also transferred into this fund to build
equity.
Equipment Replacement Fund
An Equipment Replacement Fund was established in 1995-96 to provide a method of
funding and an ongoing plan for asset replacement. The fund has equity of $1,077,035 at
year end and will become fully operational during the 1996-97 year. Charges for each
department will be budgeted according to an asset replacement schedule and direct and
indirect costs of maintaining department assets.
ix
11
Fiduciary Operations
An agency fund is used to account for assets held for other funds, governments or
individuals. The City offers three deferred compensation plans for employees, which are
accounted for in an agency fund. The increase in fund assets of $453,237 represents an
increase in participants and contributions.
Debt Administration
The City has no debt subject to the legal debt limit (as shown on the Computation of Legal
Debt Margin, Statistical Section); however, descriptions and information regarding long-
term debt are found in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
ICash Management
The City Treasurer invests temporarily idle funds in accordance with the State Government
Code. The City's formal investment policy, as authored by the Treasurer and approved by
the City Council, requires an even more cautious investment placement criteria.
Institutions must have a minimum 5% net asset value to qualify for certificate of deposit
investment consideration. Only government securities are accepted as collateral.
Investments are limited to U.S. Treasury notes, certificates of deposit, corporate notes and
' the State and County Pooled Investment Funds. Shown below is the percentage of idle
funds in each instrument category on June 30, 1996.
U.S. Securities 46%
Local Agency Investment Fund 54%
Interest earned on investments for 1995-96 was $803,529, with an average interest rate of
5.84%. The average length of maturity on U.S. securities held was 840 days.
Risk Management
The City is self-insured up to $250,000 for liability claims. Excess coverage up to $10
million is obtained through the Independent Cities Risk Management Authority (ICRMA), a
joint powers authority consisting of medium-sized California municipalities. The cost of the
insurance depends on both the loss experience of member cities and the loss experience
of Hermosa Beach.
The City is self-insured up to $300,000 for worker's compensation claims, with statutory
limit excess coverage provided through a private insurance carrier.
Claims defense and settlement are coordinated by third party administrators for both
liability and worker's compensation, with oversight by the Risk Manager.
High value vehicle and property insurance is placed with private insurance carriers.
X
Independent Audit
City financial records are audited annually by independent certified public accountants
selected by the City Council. The Report of Independent Accountants is included in the
Financial Section. The responsibility of the independent accountants is to express an
opinion on the City's financial statements based on their audit. The "unqualified" opinion
received by the city indicates that the independent accountants believe that the financial
statements present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the city.
Certificate of Achievement
The Government Finance Officer's Association awards certificates of Achievement to those
entities whose annual financial reports are judged to conform substantially with high
standards of public financial reporting. The City of Hermosa Beach has been awarded the
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the GFOA for its
annual reports since fiscal year 1990 and the Certificate of Award for Outstanding
Financial Reporting by the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers since 1989.
The certificates are valid for one year only. We believe our current report continues to
meet high program standards and will be submitted to both award programs for review.
Acknowledgments
I would like to express my appreciation to the staff of the Finance Department, the City
Manager, all department heads and their staff members, and our auditors, Caporicci &
Larson, for their assistance and contributions to this report. I would also like to thank the
City Council, City Treasurer and City Clerk for their support and continuing service to the
community.

I1 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity - The financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government,
City of Hermosa Beach (the City), (b) organizations for which the primary government is
financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the primary government is
not accountable, but for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the
primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete.
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the
primary government are financially accountable. In addition, component units can be
other organizations for which the primary government's exclusion would cause the
reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
The following is a brief review of the component units included in the accompanying
general purpose financial statements of the City.
Downtown Business Area Enhancement District
All parking lot revenues are deposited to the Downtown Fund in order to finance
parking operations in the downtown area.
Hermosa Beach Crossing Guard District
This fund is used to account for the funds of the assessment district, which was created
pursuant to Government Code 55530-70 for provision of crossing guards.
Hermosa Beach Street Lighting District
This fund is used to account for the Lighting Assessment District, which was created for
street lighting purposes pursuant to Street and Highway Code 22500-22679.
The above component units are included in the City's general purpose financial statements
using the blended method since the governing body of these component units are
substantially the same as the governing body of the City and these component units
provided services entirely to the City.
Detailed financial statements are available for the above component units from the City's
Finance Department.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Description of Funds - The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of
funds and account groups, each of which is defined as a separate fiscal and accounting
entity with a self -balancing set of accounts. These funds and account groups are
established for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives
in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.
In accordance with the City's municipal code and budget, several different types of funds
and account groups are used to record the City's financial transactions. For financial
reporting purposes, the City's funds and account groups have been grouped and are
presented in the accompanying general purpose financial statements as follows:
Governmental Fund Types
General Fund - The purpose of this fund is to account for all financial resources except
those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - The purpose of these funds is to account for the proceeds of
specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes.
Proprietary Fund Types
Enterprise Funds - The purpose of these funds is to account for those operations that are
financed and operated in a manner similar to private business or where the governing
body has decided that the determination of revenues earned, costs incurred and net
income is necessary for management accountability.
Internal Service Funds - The purpose of these funds are to account for the financing of
goods and services provided by one department to other departments of the City on a
cost -reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund Type
Agency Fund - The purpose of this fund is to account for assets which are held by the
City as an agency for individuals, private organizations and other governmental units
or other funds. This fund is custodial in nature and does not involve the measurement
of results of operations.
Account Groups
General Fixed Assets Account Group - The purpose of this account group is to maintain
control and cost information on capital assets owned by the City, other than those
accounted for in proprietary funds.

I1 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
' General Long -Term Debt Account Group - The purpose of this account group is to
account for the unmatured long-term obligations of the City, other than those
accounted for in proprietary funds.
1
Basis of Accounting - The accounting and reporting treatment applied to a fund is
1 determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for on a
spending or "financial flow' measurement focus. Accordingly, only current assets and
current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheets. Operating statements of
' governmental funds present increases (revenues and other financial sources) and decreases
(expenditures and other financial uses) in net current assets.
' All Governmental and Fiduciary Funds Types are accounted for using the modified accrual
basis of accounting wherein revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which
they become measurable and available to pay liabilities of the current period. Revenues
considered susceptible to accrual include property taxes collected generally within 60 days
of year-end, charges for services, federal and state grants, sales taxes and interest.
' Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is
incurred, if measurable, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt which
is recognized when due.
' All Proprietary Fund Types are accounted for on a flow of economic resources
measurement focus, meaning that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or
' noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets. Reported
fund equity (net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings
I' components. Operating statements of the Proprietary Fund Types present increases
(revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets.
Proprietary Fund Types are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting wherein
' revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and expenses
are recognized in the accounting period incurred.
' Accounting Standards - Pursuant to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary and Other Governmental
' Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, the City has elected to apply the provisions of
all relevant pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB),
including those issued after November 30,1989.
1
' Budgetary Principles - The City is required by its municipal code to adopt an annual
budget on or before June 30 for the ensuing fiscal year. From the effective date of the
budget, the amounts become the "annual appropriated budget."
' 16
City of Hermosa Beach
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements, Continued
For the year ended June 30,1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
The City Council may amend the budget by motion during the fiscal year. The City
Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within an activity, within any fund.
However, any revisions that alter total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the
City Council.
Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level. Appropriations
lapse at the end of the fiscal year. Supplemental appropriations, which increase
appropriations, were made during the fiscal year.
Budget information is presented for the General and Special Revenue Funds and
Proprietary Fund Types on a consistent basis with generally accepted accounting
principles. Budgeted revenue and expenditure amounts represent the original budget
modified for adjustments during the year.
Encumbrances - Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts and other
commitments for expenditures are recorded to reserve that portion of the applicable
appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary
accounting. Since encumbrances do not yet constitute expenditures or liabilities,
encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as reservations of fund balances.
Unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end.
Cash and Investments - The City pools cash resources from all funds in order to facilitate
the management of cash and achieve the goal of obtaining the highest yield with the
greatest safety and least risk. The balance in the pooled cash account is available to meet
current operating requirements. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested in
various interest-bearing accounts and other investments for varying terms. Cash in the
special revenue funds, including the Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Fund, is restricted to use
for purposes stipulated by the fund. The Assets Seizure and Forfeiture Fund is used for
law enforcement purposes and is intended to supplement, not replace or reduce, normal
appropriations for the operations of the City's Police Department.
Investments are carried at cost, except for investments in the deferred compensation
agency fund which are reported at market value. Unrealized losses on investments are not
recorded when their market values decline below cost unless such declines are considered
permanent. The City intends to either hold the investments until maturity or until market
values equal or exceed cost. Interest earned on investments is allocated to all funds on the
basis of monthly cash and investments balances.

' Cash equivalents are considered amounts in demand deposits and short-term investments
with a maturity date within three months of the date acquired by the City and are
presented as "Cash and Investments" in the accompanying general purpose financial
' statements.
' The City participates in an investment pool managed by the State of California titles Local
Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) which has invested a portion of the pool funds in
derivatives and similar transactions . LAIF's investments are subject to credit risk with the
' full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments. In addition,
these derivatives and similar transactions are subject to market risk as to change in -interest
rates.
U
Inventory - Inventory, consisting of gasoline, is stated at cost on an average cost basis and
' is controlled by a perpetual inventory system and adjusted to reflect periodic physical
counts. These inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed.
Property and Equipment - General fixed assets are not capitalized in the funds used to
acquire or construct them. Instead, capital acquisition and construction are reflected as
expenditures in governmental funds, and the related assets are reported in the General
Fixed Assets Account Group. Fixed assets acquired or constructed for proprietary funds
are capitalized in their respective individual funds. All purchased fixed assets are valued
at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated historical cost where no
historical records exist. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair market
value on the date received.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Public domain ("infrastructure") general fixed assets consisting of roads, bridges, curbs
and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems are not
capitalized, as these assets are immovable and of value only to the City.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives:
Building and structures 50 years
Improvements 20 years
Equipment, machinery and vehicles 7-10 years
18
City of Hermosa Beach
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements, Continued

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Depreciation of all exhaustible property and equipment used by proprietary funds is
charged as an expense against their respective operations. No interest costs were
capitalized during the fiscal year. The City has elected not to depreciate the assets in the
General Fixed Assets Account Group. See Note 15 for further discussion.
LonkTerm Liabilities - Liabilities for long-term debt are recognized as a liability of a
governmental fund when due. For other long-term obligations, only the portion expected
to be financed from expendable available financial resources is reported as a fund liability
of a governmental fund. The remaining portion of the obligation is reported in the General
Long -Term Debt Account Group. Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from
proprietary fund operations are accounted for in those funds.
Fund Equity - Reservations of fund balances of governmental funds and retained earnings
of proprietary funds are created to either satisfy legal covenants, including state laws, that
require a portion of the fund balance be segregated or identify the portion of the fund
balance not available for future expenditures.
Compensated Absences - City employees have vested interests in varying levels of
vacation, sick leave and compensatory time based on their length of employment. It is the
policy of the City to pay all accumulated vacation pay and a portion of sick pay when an
employee retires or terminates. The liabilities for compensated absences are recorded in
the governmental fund types (current portion) and in the General Long -Term Debt
Account Group (long-term portion). The liabilities for compensated absences of
proprietary funds are recorded in those funds when incurred.
Property Taxes - Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of July 1 each
year. Taxes are levied on March 1 and are payable in two installments : December 10 and
April 10 of each year. The County of Los Angeles, California (the County) bills and collects
the property taxes and remits them to the City according to a payment schedule
established by the County. City property tax revenues are recognized when received in
cash except at year-end when they are accrued pursuant to the modified accrual basis of
accounting. The City recognizes as revenues at June 30 available taxes or those collected
within 60 days.
The County is permitted by State law to levy taxes at 1 % of full market value (at time of
purchase) and can increase the property tax rate no more then 2% per year. The City
receives a share of this basic levy proportionate to what it received during the years 1976 to
1978.

Interfund Transactions - Quasi -external transactions are accounted for as revenues,
expenditures (governmental fund types) or expenses (proprietary fund types).
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/ expenses initially
made from it that are properly applicable to another fund are recovered as a reduction in
expenditures/ expenses in the user fund. All other interfund transactions are reported as
operating transfers. Non-recurring or non -routine permanent transfers of equity are
reported as residual equity transfers.
"Totals (Memorandum Only)" Columns - Columns of the accompanying general purpose
financial statements captioned "Total (memorandum only)" do not present consolidated
financial information and are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. The data in
these columns do not present financial position, results of operations, cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Interfund eliminations have not
been made in the aggregation of this data.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial data in
order conform to the current year presentation.
2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City pools its cash and investments of all funds with the City Treasurer for investing,
except for certain restricted funds which are held and invested by independent outside
custodians through contractual agreements. These restricted funds include cash held by
trustee and deferred compensation plan deposits.
The investments made by the City Treasurer are limited to those allowable under State
statutes as incorporated into the City's Investment Policy that is more conservative than
that allowed by State statute. The City's Investment Policy allows investing in U.S.
Treasury obligations, obligations of state and local agencies, investment funds of state and
local agencies, certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, and Banker's acceptances.
The City's investments with LAIF at June 30, 1996 include a portion of the pool funds
invested in derivatives and similar transactions. These investments may include the
following:
• Derivatives Products are financial instruments whose market value is derived
from a reference rate, index, or value of an underlying asset.

• Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose
,
cash-flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or state maturity)
depend upon one or more indices and/or that have embedded forwards or

their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from pool of assets such as
'
principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as CMOs) or

I' 9. RISK MANAGEMENT, Continued
ICRMA is a joint exercise of powers authority organized and operating pursuant to the
California Government Code. ICRMA was formed in 1980 pursuant to joint exercise of
power agreements for insurance and risk management purposes, which, as amended,
enable ICRMA to provide programs of risk sharing, insurance and risk management
services in connection with liability, property, and workers' compensation claims and to
assist members in establishing financial reserves through the sale of Certificates of
Participation. In January 1987, Certificates of Participation in an aggregate principal
amount of $30,210,000 were sold by ICRMA to fund the joint self-insurance programs.
Under the coverage agreement, member cities are assessed annual premiums based on an
actuarially determined amount. Principal and interest due with respect te, the certificates
will be repaid from the premiums assessed. The participation percentage that the City has
in ICRMA is as follows:
2.69% for losses occurring July 1, 1995 to July 1, 1996
2.89% for losses occurring July 1, 1994 to July 1, 1995
2.99% for losses occurring July 1, 1993 to July 1, 1994
3.64% for losses occurring July 1, 1992 to July 1, 1993
4.53% for losses occurring July 1, 1991 to July 1, 1992
3.71 % for losses occurring July 1, 1990 to July 1, 1991
3.95% for losses occurring prior to that date
The City's payments to ICRMA in the amount of $193,651 for the fiscal year 1995-1996 are
in accordance with formulas established by ICRMA. The City is liable for possible
subsequent assessments and withdrawal costs under terms of the membership agreement.
The City has entered into contracts with service agents who supervise and administer the
City's general liability and workers' compensation insurance program. Claim loss
estimates are determined by the service agent based on the nature of an individual claim.
The loss estimates includes amounts for future compensation, medical, legal and
administrative fees. The City also includes in loss estimates claims Incurred But Not
Reported using an IBNR factor which is developed utilizing historical claims data.
Reimbursement requests are submitted to the City on a monthly basis as claims are paid.
The workers' compensation and general liability claims payable of $2,335,720 reported at
June 30, 1996, are based on the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior
to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has
been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. Changes in the Fund's claims liability amounts were as follows:

' The City now offers its employees three deferred compensation plans (the Plans) created in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The additional plan was made
available during fiscal year 1995-96. The Plans permit all eligible employees to execute an
' individual agreement with the City for amounts earned by them, to be paid at a future date
when certain circumstances are met. These circumstances include termination by reason of
retirement, death, disability or other events as provided for in the Plans. Employees may
' contribute up to 25% of their annual compensation, not to exceed $7,500 in any year, into
the deferred compensation plan. All amount of compensation deferred under this Plan, all
' property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those
amounts, are (until paid or available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the
property and rights of the City (without being restricted to the provisions of benefits under
' the Plan), subject only to the claims of the City's general creditors. Participants' rights
under the Plans are equal to the fair value of the deferred account for each participant. At
June 30, 1996, the City's deferred compensation plans accumulated assets were at market
' value, including investments earnings, and are reported in the Agency Fund in the amount
of $2,015,628.
' It is the opinion of City management that the City has no liability for losses under the
Plans, but has the duty of due care that would be required of any ordinary prudent
investor. The City believes that it is unlikely it will use the assets of the deferred
compensation plan to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future.

12. PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Plan Description
The City contributes to the California Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS), an
agent multiple -employer public employee retirement system that acts as a common
investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of
California. The City's payroll for employees covered by the PERS for the year ended June
30, 1996, was $6,355,007 compared with a total payroll of $8,897,367.
All full-time City employees are eligible to participate in the PERS. Benefits vest after five
years of service. Public safety and other employees who retire at or after age 50 and 60,
respectively, with five years of credited service, are entitled to an annual retirement benefit,
payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 2% of their average salary during their last
year of employment for each year of credited service. PERS also provides death and
disability benefits. These benefits provisions and all other requirements are established by
contract with PERS.
City employees are required to contribute to the PERS on the basis of 9.0% of PERS
reportable salary for public safety employees and 7.0% for all other employees; however,
the City, on behalf of the employees, makes this contribution. The City is required to
contribute the remaining amounts to fund PERS, using the actuarial basis recommended by
the PERS actuaries and actuarial consultants and adopted by the Board of Administration,
with the contribution rate at June 30, 1996, for police safety employees at 13.815%, fire
safety employees at 15.239% and other employees at 5.494%. These benefit provisions and
contributed obligations are established under the contract with PERS. Membership date on
number of total participants in the Plan is currently not available.
Funding Status and Progress
The amount shown below as the "pension benefit obligation' is a standardized disclosure
measure of the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary
increases and step -rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of
employee service to date. The measure is intended to help users assess the funding status
of PERS on a going -concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to
pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among employers. The measure is the
actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and is independent of the funding
methods used to determine contributions to the PERS.

increases of 4.5%, attributable to inflation.

annually from the date of employment until retirement. PERS uses a modification of the
' Entry Age Cost Method in which the employer's total normal cost is expressed as a level
percentage of payroll. PERS also uses the level percentage of payroll method to amortize

The significant actuarial assumptions used to compute the actuarially determined
contribution requirement are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit
obligation and the actuarially accrued liability as previously described.
The total employer contribution to PERS for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, amounted
to $628,315, which was entirely paid by the City. Contributions were reduced by $259,888
of surplus assets available in excess of funding requirements. The contribution was made
in accordance with the actuarially determined requirements computed through an actuarial
valuation performed as of July 1, 1994. The contribution consisted of $610,360 for normal
cost (9.604% of current covered payroll) and $17,955 for amortization of the unfunded
actuarial accrued liability (0.283% of current covered payroll).
Trend Information
Trend information gives an indication of the progress made in accumulating sufficient
assets to pay benefits when due. Eight year historical trend information is presented as
follows:
(1) At cost.
(2) Contributions were made in accordance with actuarially determined requirements.
(3) Employer rates decreased overall, therefore contributions were less than the previous year even
though covered payroll increased.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments - In 1983, the Parking Authority issued $6,400,000 of 1983 Series Floating
Rate Monthly Demand Certificates of Participation. The proceeds of the Certificates of
Participation (COPs) were used for payment and/or reimbursement of costs incurred by a
private partnership for construction of the parking facilities ("Project").
Concurrently with the issuance of the COPs, the Parking Authority purchased the Project
under an Installment Purchase Agreement (IPA) and simultaneously resold it to the
partnership under an Installment Sales Agreement (ISA). No gain or loss was recognized
on the sale and repurchase. The COPs represent proportionate interests in the ISA, are
collateralized by a deed of trust on the Project, and are an obligation of the partnership.
The COPs and associated transactions are not reflected in the accompanying general
purpose financial statements as neither the faith and credit, nor the taxing authority of the
Parking Authority or the City are pledged or obligated in any manner to repay the COPs.
Contingencies - The City is a defendant in a number of lawsuits which have arisen in the
normal course of business. While substantial damages are alleged in some of these actions,
their outcome cannot be predicted with certainty. In the opinion of the City Attorney,
these actions when finally adjudicated will not have material adverse effect on the financial
position of the City.
Proposition 62
On September 28, 1995, the California Supreme Court reversed a Court of Appeals decision
which reinstated provisions of Proposition 62 which was a 1986 voter initiative that
required all general taxes to be approved by simple majority vote of the electorate. The
Supreme Court provided very little detail on a number of important issues surrounding
their decision, including, the effective date of the decision, whether the decision would be
retroactive, and whether existing taxes would have to be put to a vote for them to remain
valid. The decision may have some minimal impact on transient occupancy taxes.
Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996, Proposition 218, would restrict local governments' ability to charge
property -related fees and assessments was passed by the electorate. The City's Lighting
and Landscaping District will be affected by the proposition. The financial impact to the
City is currently being studied.

a manner similar to private business enterprises and where periodic determinations of net
income is desired. Expenses, including depreciation, of providing goods or services to the
general public are recovered primarily through user charges.
Enterprise Funds of the City of Hermosa Beach include the following:
Downtown Enhancement Fund - All parking lot revenues are deposited to the Downtown
Enhancement Fund in order to finance parking operations in the downtown area.
Parkin Fund - All meter, fine and parking permit revenues are deposited to the Parking
Fund in order to finance parking operations and capital improvements.
Proposition "A" Transit Fund - Transit revenue consists primarily of Proposition A fund (the
1/2 cent sales tax for Los Angeles County transportation purposes). The City currently
operates a Dial -a -Ride program, a commuter bus and subsidizes bus passes for senior citizens
and students.
Proposition "C" Transit Fund - The Proposition C Fund is a new fund which was added
during 1992 to account for funds allocated from the voter -approved 1/2 cent sales tax. Funds
must be used for transit purposes.

Honorable Mayor and Members of
the Hermosa Beach City Council
Regular Meeting of
January 28, 1997
11 SALES TAX UPDATE (SB1997) LEAGUE APPOINTMENT OF TASK FORCE 11
Recommendation:
1. That the City Council support the concept of the return of an additional 1% sales tax
to cities on a population basis;
2. That the City Council direct a letter to the League of California Cities supporting
appointment of the City of Covina to task force;
3. That the City Council authorize expenditure of $250 to financially support this effort.
Background:
The City of Covina sponsored SB 1977 last year that would have provided a return of an
additional 1% of the State sales tax to cities and counties based on population. Last year,
over 60% of the cities in California support this bill. In order to have a better chance of
passage this year, work on the legislation is starting now and an effort is being made to
increase the level of support. As you know, the cost of supporting legislation is quite high
and the City of Covina would like to have financial support to carry on this effort. The
suggested amount is $250.00 for a city of our size.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS - JANUARY 1997
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council appoint delegates and alternates to the various
committees (see attached updated list), consistent with the policy of maintaining permanent
representation whenever possible.
Background:
At its meeting of January 14, 1997, the City Council acted to appoint the following:
- Mayor (term ending Thursday, Nov. 13, 1997*):
- Mayor Pro Tempore (same term as Mayor):
- L.A. County City Selection Committee Delegate:
- South Bay Cities Sanitation District Delegate:
Alternate:
- Inglewood Fire Training Authority Delegate:
Alternate:
J.R. Reviczky
Sam Y. Edgerton

(*The regularly scheduled meeting of Tuesday, November 11, 1997, falls on Veteran's Day.
Pursuant to the 1997 meeting schedule adopted by Council, the first meeting in November will
therefore take place on Thursday, November 13, 1997.)
The appointment of delegates and alternates is now required for the remainder of the City Council
committee assignments. The March 1996 committee -assignment list (attached) has been updated
to include the changes made at the last meeting. Councilmembers are requested to contact Mayor
Reviczky prior to the January 28 meeting concerning any preferences with regard to committee
assignments.
Please note that the appointed delegate and alternate should be the same for both the South Bay
Corridor Study Steering Committee and the South Bay Cities Association since their meetings
occur back-to-back on the same day and at the same location.
Also,. two of the committees (the Independent Cities Lease Finance Authority and the
Independent Cities Risk Management Association) require resolutions for the appointments of
delegates and alternates. Currently, Councilmember Edgerton is the delegate for both
committees. Finance Director Viki Copeland and PersonneMsk Management Director Bob
Blackwood are the respective alternates. If assignment changes are made this evening with regard
to either of those committees, an appropriate resolution will be placed on the consent calendar of
the February 11 agenda for Council adoption.
Following the assignments of delegates and alternates, letters will be sent to the appropriate
boards and committees, and the list of newly appointed delegates and alternates will be forwarded
to Council.

SCHEDULE MEETING WITH SUPERVISOR KNABE
Recommendation:
Select three possible dates for a meeting with Supervisor Knabe.
Background:
Supervisor Knabe would like to meet with the City Council to discuss City/County issues.
The idea is that these meetings would occur with some frequency so the opinions of the
City Council can be directly communicated to Supervisor Knabe.
In order to set up the meeting, I have been asked to provide three dates that would be
acceptable to the City Council. It would be possible to do this prior to a regular meeting
or a special meeting could be scheduled. I have listed three possible dates for your
consideration:
1. Tuesday, February 25, 1997, 6:OOpm (prior to Regular City Council Meeting)
✓-2. Tuesday, March 4, 1997, 7:OOpm
3. Tuesday, March 11, 1997, 6:OOpm (prior to Regular City Council Meeting)
