Allow Vons and Alpha -Beta market to remain open 24 hours a day. A condition of the original Von's Plaza's development agreement was to limit Von's operating hours. Perhaps to allow Von's and Alpha -Beta to remain open would provide a service to the community and provide extra City revenue. II. Allow (as a part of the City's agreement) the Dispute Resolution Services to be the first step in City liability suit resolution. Presently the City through its Risk Manager and Insurance Carrier handle City liability suit resolution. Perhaps the Council could author an ordinance that would direct that the first step in City liability suit -resolution be an appearance in front of the Dispute Resolution Officer. I feel this change would tend to reduce liability awards. III. Hermosa Beach's water service is provided by "California Water Service" who is responsible for water system service maintenance and water bill collections. I personally have been long interested in the service provided by California Water Service to the City of Hermosa Beach. My ititial review of financial data seemed to conclude that if the City were to purchase (5 to 6 million) our decaying water system, bond to pay for the system with a 10 year pay back, the City could excelerate system rehabilitation (because the City does not pay taxes and would not pay investorvwe could accumulate maintenance revenue faster), r'ap the financial benefit of the monthly payment money float, until the bond is paid off. Upon payment of the bond the City could then earmark the revenue for other financial necessities. CUlt aryl Bruts'ch City Treasurer SUPPLEMENTAL.

ADJOURNMENT May 16, 1990 Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting of of the City Council May 24, 1990 FUNDING OF SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by staff that Council approve the appropriations for FY 1990-91 from the general fund for nonprofit agencies as listed in the analysis below. BACKGROUND: In years past, the City of Hermosa Beach has supported in part the nonprofit agencies who serve the local community with general funds. During FY 1989-90 the City supported 9 of these agencies: South Bay Free Clinic ($3,000) Beach Cities Symphony ($250), South Bay Juvenile Diversion ($3,000), 1736 Family Crisis Center ($7,500), South Bay Coalition Alive ($2,000), Hermosa Beach Coordinating Council ($1,000), Little League ($1,725), Youth Basketball ($1,725), Sister Cities ($1,000). To date, the organizations have claimed $17,225 of these funds. South Bay Coalition Alive disbanded in January, 1990 therefore, they did not receive $2,000 of their funds. The Youth Basketball League is the only organization that has not submitted a report and budget, therefore, they have not received their allocation. The Sister Cities organization has only claimed $750 of their total amount of $1,000 this fiscal year. ANALYSIS Staff's recommendation for funding is listed below and in the 1990-91 budget with the exception of the Project Touch request which was submitted after the budget was prepared: AGENCY Received Requested Staff Rec. 89-90 90-91 90-91 South Bay Free Clinic $3,000 $4,000 $3,000 Clients receive a variety of services from general medical services and screenings to specialized forms of health care such as pediatrics, dentistry and mental health care. South Bay Juvenile Diversion $3,000 $3,000 $3,000 Their function is to help youths who are having difficulties at home, in school and in the community. Their services include individual, family or group counseling;tutoring; substance abuse evaluation; psychiatric evaluation, parent education in-patient treatment and shelter care. 1 C AGENCY 1736 Family Crisis Center Received 89-90 $7,500 Requested Staff Rec. 90-91 90-91 $11,500 $7,500 They operate two shelters in the City, one for battered women and their children, the other for runaway and homeless teens. Individuals receive housing, food, counseling, crisis intervention care and survival assistance services. Hermosa Beach Coordinating $1,000 Council $1,000 $1,000 They award four $250 scholarships to Hermosa Beach students to assist in their future education. Hermosa Beach Little League $1,725 $1,725 $1,725 They currently provide Hermosa Beach youth a four month recreational program of playing and learning the rules of baseball. Hermosa Beach Youth $1,725 Basketball League $2,950 $1,725 They provide Hermosa Beach youth with a three month recreational program of playing and learning the rules of basketball. Hermosa Beach Sister City $1,000 Organization $1,000 $1,000 Provides educational and cultural opportunities for children from Loreto, Mexico by giving them the opportunity to live with a family from another country. Their main purpose is to promote friendship and understanding between our countries. Beach Cities Symphony $ 250 $ 500 $ 250 They provide four free concerts per year performed in the Stuart E. Marsee Auditorium at El Camino College for anyone who enjoys classical music. Project Touch $ -0- $3,000* $1,000 *Not listed in 1990-91 budget. Request received May 16, 1990. If approved by Council, staff recommends reducing grant writing services by $1,000. Their services include social and educational enrichment, counseling, meals, wilderness challenge camping and stepteen/ stepfamily groups to high risk youth and their families. It is clear that Hermosa Beach benefits directly and indirectly from the services that these nonprofit organizations provide to the community. Not only do these groups deliver vital social services; they also serve to fulfill the needs of our community for getting involved through donations and volunteer services where they are needed. An examination of surrounding cities shows that support for nonprofit agencies is strong. Manhattan Beach donated $163,003 (CDBG) to agencies while Redondo Beach contributed $111,520 ($75,320 CDBG and $36,200 general fund) this fiscal year. In light of the above and in consideration for the modest 1990-91 budget, staff is recommending that the funding levels be the same as last fiscal year. Concur: kevin B.

Jr.. M 5 W. Executive Director City of Hermosa Beach 710 Pier Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 ATTN: Mary C. Rooney Dear Ms. Rooney: We are writing to ask that the City Hermosa Beach to grant an increased allocation of $4,000 to the South Bay Free Clinic. Governmental budget cuts have crippled low-cost health care delivery organizations throughout the State. The South Bay Free Clinic has been no excep- tion: earlier this year severe budget cutbacks at the State level closed some Clinic programs while limiting others and devastating the agency's cash flow. While that source of funding has since been restored, there is no question that such actions indicate government sup- port is becoming increasingly scarce. It is times like these that make us so appreciative of assistance from local municipalties like Hermosa Beach. Even with significant budget cutbacks, the Clinic has continued seeing patients and providing them with qual- ity services at the highest levels in the agency's history. Through February, the Clinic has to date served Hermosa Beach residents in 730 patient visits. Extrapolating for the remainder of the year, it is anticipated that approximately 1,250 Hermosa Beach will be served by the Clinic in 89/90 Fiscal Year. Hermosa Beach clients receive a variety of Clinic ser- vices, from general medical services and screenings to specialized forms of health care, such as pediatrics, reproductive health attention, cancer screening, den- tistry, AIDS services and mental health care. A $4,000 allocation from the City means that the muni- cipality provided approximately $3 per Hermosa Beach patient visit. It costs the Clinic approximately $40 to provide a patient appropriate services, however visits in a private physician's office would cost these clients between $200 and $300, and even services available at County facilities cost more. Thus, we are hoping that the City Hermosa Beach will agree to an increased allocation of $4,000, somewhat continued . . Ms. Mary Rooney/City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 less than one additional dollar per Hermosa Beach patient visit. In light of spiraling medical and health care costs (some laboratory tests alone have increased 400% in this past year), and further reduc- tions in government funding of all kinds, it is incumbent upon the Clinic to increasingly appeal to local municipalities to help care for their respective residents. Clinic -wide 80% of the agency's clients are poverty and low-income earners. Likewise, in Hermosa Beach, few of these people would be able to access sustained preventive health care, which saves money in the long -run for them and the tax -paying public, if the South Bay Free Clinic did not exist to meet their needs. We are in hopes that the Hermosa Beach City Council will favorably consider the Clinic's request to continue and increase its allocation to the Clinic. In the meantime, if there are any questions or further information is needed, please do not hesitate to call me, or Craig Vincent -Jones, the Clinic's Development Officer at (213) 318-2521. Thank you, in advance, for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Thomas F. Skinner Executive Director TS:st JEFF J. TAKEYAMA. C.r.A. JANE C. TAKEYAMA. C.P.A. JEFF J.

SOUTH BAY JUVENILE DIVERSION PROJECT 320 Knob Hill Redondo Beach, California 90277 March 5, 1990 The Honorable Roger Creighton Mayor of the City of Hermosa Beach City Hall 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, California 90254 REct-wpn MAR 121000 �. Dear Mayor Creighton: As you know, the South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project has served your city and the entire South Bay community for the past fifteen years, providing counseling and related services for troubled youth and their families. For the last six years your city has contributed a share of the funds which provide assistance to your residents. We would like to request that $3,000 in funding for South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project be included in your City's 1990-1991 budget. Because of past federal funding cuts and Governor Deukmejian's proposed budget reductions, the Project anticipates that it will need $58,000 from the Project's cities in the next fiscal year to supplement the grant monies it receives. Your City's share of $3,000, has been calculated based on the juvenile population in your City as well as past utilization of the Project. Attachment A shows the amount requested from each City in the South Bay. The requested contribution from the City of Hermosa Beach has not increased over the amount you provided the last four years. It is important to note that local cities' contributions are used primarily for direct service to youth in the community, while a portion of the funding is used to support crisis intervention, education, assessment and referral activities performed by Project staff. Also attached is a report summarizing the number of youths served in 1989 which indicates the sources of referral and the reasons why they were sent to the Project. As you can see, the amount requested from your City for fiscal year 1990-91 is small considering the number of members of your community who will be served by the Project and the value of these services. I have enclosed a one-page summary of the activities of the South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project to provide an idea of the comprehensive nature of the services provided to your city. I would be glad to make a presentation to your Council to report how your city's residents have benefited from the program. Please call me (372-1171 x2457), if you need any additional information about the Project. Sincerely, Dan Smith Director South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project t/ Enclosures / cc: Kevin Northcraft, City Manager l� SOUTH BAY JUVENILE DIVERSION PROJECT Summary Statement The South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project has served the community since 1975. Originally the purpose of the South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project was to provide services which would prevent youth from entering into the juvenile justice system (thus "diverting" them from future criminal involvement). This initial description however, does not truly portray the Project's current function, which is to help youths who are having difficulties at home, in school, in the community, as well as youths with police contacts. The South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project receives referrals from schools, law enforcement, parents, and the youths themselves. The Project's staff members assess the youth's psychological needs, family situation, school progress, possible alcohol or other drug use, and match them with one of our thirty-five therapists. The Projects' services include: individual, family, or group counseling; tutoring; substance abuse evaluation; education and treatment; psychiatric evaluation; wilderness training experiences; parent education; in-patient treatment and shelter care. The South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project is a major resource used by the elementary school districts in Hermosa and Redondo Beach, the South Bay Union High School District, and the school districts in El Segundo, Lomita, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. In addition, it is the primary referral source used by police departments in El Segundo, Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, and Redondo Beach, as well as the Sheriff's Department. The South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project also works very closely with the School Attendance Review Board (S.A.R.B.) to provide services for truant children and teenagers. Not only does the South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project provide assessment, counseling, and follow-up of individual clients, but it also provides prevention, intervention and education programs. These include facilitating in-service training for teachers, administrators and staff in various identification and treatment issues and community coordination of various programs by it's participation in several community coalitions. For fourteen years, the South Bay Juvenile Diversion Project has been a necessary link between troubled South Bay youth and the assistance they need to lead valuable, meaningful lives.

Torrance Boulevard, Suite 101 6 01O1_Oc3 Redondo Beach, California 90277 March 30, 1990 Mayor Creighton, and Members of the City Council City of Hermosa Beach Civic Center 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, California 90254-3885 Dear Mayor Creighton and Members of the City Council: Please accept this correspondence as formal application by the 1736 Family Crisis Center for a continued grant through the City of Hermosa Beach General fund for the fiscal year 1990-91. For many years, the 1736 Family Crisis Center has received this assistance from the City of Hermosa Beach. The impact of City funds has been substantial, not only in actual dollars, but also in the important message which accompanies this gift of local support from our home city of 18 years. The staff of our Agency works closely and frequently with the City of Hermosa Beach Police Department to ensure the proper care and protection of individuals within our City. The relationship with the Hermosa Beach Police Department is very strong and operates on a mutual referral basis. The Hermosa police can attest to the tremendous cost saved each year in the Police Department by having 1736 Family Crisis Center in the City. As one example, police officers in our City may simply bring homeless minors to the 1736 House, where our staff will either handle the case or assist the police in doing so. If our youth shelter is full, our Agency can generally make alternative, legal housing and care arrangements for the child. This service by 1736 Family Crisis Center saves actual dollars for the Hermosa Beach Police Department by reducing: 1) the number of hours spent by police in handling juvenile cases; 2) police overtime and overhead costs; 3) the cost of placing additional officers on dutywhile one is occupied making necessary arrangements for the kids (this generally takes several hours per child); and 4) the cost of transporting youth substantial distances where the closest alternative shelters are located. Funding from the City of Hermosa Beach is particularly important at this time in that we are experiencing cutbacks in County and State funds, due to shortage of government dollars. The following will set forth level and type of services rendered by the 1736 Family Crisis Center in the first eight months of the current fiscal year in the City of Hermosa Beach: 79 Hermosa Beach residents were serviced in our nonresidential programs from July 1989 through February 1990. Of these, 14 received formal Outpatient Counseling Services; our Outpatient Program includes counseling to children, adults, couples, and families, as well as a community-based Battered Women's Support Group for women who may not have left a violent home, but who wish to receive peer support and information regarding matters of safety and personal survival. 18 Hermosa Beach residents received Emergency Walk -In services, which includes in-person emergency counseling, food, clothing, advocacy, and referrals. 47 Hermosa Beach residents received diverse 24 -Hour Hotline services, ranging from suicide intervention and emergency counseling, to referrals for substance abuse and other problems, to information about child abuse and other important personal and family matters. 1736 Family Crisis Center operates two shelters in the City of Hermosa Beach, one for battered women and their children, the other for runaway and homeless teens. The residents of these shelters have met all federal eligibility standards as temporary Hermosa Beach residents. There is no charge for service to the women and children. Shelter care may range in length from a couple of weeks (in the teen shelter) to a month (in the Emergency Battered Women's/Children's Shelter). Our effort is to help each adult and pre -adult resident develop realistic survival options and plans for their future safety, off of the streets and apart from violent households, and to help each child overcome the devastating effects of abuse, homelessness, and trauma. From July 1989 through February 1990, 157 individuals received housing, food, counseling, crisis intervention care, and survival assistance services in our two Hermosa shelters. 21 of the residents in the Emergency Battered Women's Shelter were child abuse victims, ranging in age from infancy to adolescence; some of these children were physically abused, some sexually, some neglected, and most exposed to brutal violence between their parents. 91 of the residents were abused and "at risk" children staying in the Emergency Youth Shelter and ranging in age from 10 through 17; some of these youth were identified by local residents, churches, life guards, and law enforcement to be wandering in the City of Hermosa Beach from having run away and home to seek refuge at our beach. The $7,500 gift from the City of Hermosa Beach has been matched on a dollar -for - dollar basis. Polaroid Corporation has provided $2,250 (this gift was originally pledged and referenced in our first quarter report at $2,650; the $400 difference has been made up through church and individual gifts). The balance of $5,250 has been provided by: Friends of 1736; Southern California Edison; Fritz and Sons; Women of St. Cross; St. Cross Tuesday Night Live; individual donations. The current allocation to the 1736 Family Crisis Center does not cover the high cost of caring for all of the local residents who we serve. The 1736 Family Crisis Center res.ectfull requests that its allocation be increased to 11 500 for fiscal year 1990-91 from its current level of $7,500. The 1736 Family Crisis Center never closes its doors or turns away an individual in need. For 18 years, this has been our commitment which we are able to uphold only with the support of our local cities and community. Thank you for your support. Sines -rely, r, Carol A.

The Hermosa Beach Coordinating Council extends its sincere appreciation to you and the City Council for your current endorsement of the Council's scholarship program. The City's grant of $1000. for the 89/90 fiscal year will be awarded as follows: Four $250. scholarships Recipients will be wellrounded Hermosa Beach students who have demonstrated a need for some financial assist- ance to achieve their life goals. The Council Scholar- ship Committee has just begun reviewing applications and the awards will be made on June 5. It is the Council's hope that, with the continued level of support of this program by the City of Hermosa Beach, we can "make a difference" in the lives of deserving young Hermosa citizens. Thank you. Cordially, HERMO A BEAC _ OORDINATING COUNCIL erle E. Fish, PH President MEF:mf April 3, 1990 City of Hermosa Beach 710 Pier Avenue Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Attn: Mary. C. Rooney Dear Mary: HERMOSA BEACH BASEBALL LEAGUES Hermosa Beach Baseball Leagues requests continued funding from the City for the 1990/91 fiscal year. Attached is a current financial statement and budget projection. When the current Board of Directors took over last year the program was in disarray. We were losing participants and equipment, uniforms and the playing fields were not in good condition. We have turned that situation around; our program is again growing and we spent over $4000 actual dollars and more than that in volunteer labor to improve Clark Field. In addition was have made a concentrated effort to find children who cannot afford the registration fee to let them know - without embarrassment - that we want them to play. This year we have at least 16 players for whom we have waived the fees. This year we have provided all 21 teams with new uniforms. Financially it was not a good move, but necessary. Uniforms are very important to the players. We will now begin a replacement rotation plan. We have greatly improved the program but have not raised registration fees except for the 24 PONY players. We did initiate a uniform deposit fund in hopes of a better return at the end of the season. Our costs, however, continue to rise. Equipment and insurance costs specifically are higher. This year we will reduce costs by limiting trophies ($5) to the T -Ball, Farm and 1st Place teams rather than all players which has been a tradition in this program. We will instead provide each player with a participation pin ($1). 710 PIER AVENUE, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA 90254 (213) 372-6916 Our seven travelling teams have traditionally been given new jackets each year. Since most of these players spend two years in each league, we have changed to a generic Hermosa Beach jacket that is issued when a player moves to that level and keeps for his/her years at that level. Jackets are supposed to be paid through sponsorships but with or without sponsors we've issued jackets to each team until this year. Because of the lack of sponsors at this time, only PONY players have jackets. This may not seem important to adults but team jackets are important to the players who are representing the City of Hermosa Beach in other cities. We are in need of financial assistance from the City and appreciate all that we have received in the past. That money is used to cover insurance costs. We feel we enjoy a better relationship with the Community Resources and Public Works departments than most youth groups. We seem to be responsive to each others needs. The City provides faciities and limited funding; we provide a four-month recreational program for the children of Hermosa Beach that could not be duplicated by the City at the current rate of funding. We are all volunteers who plan, operate and finance this program during our spare(?) time. Please do not hesitqte to contact me (379-6926), Jerry Littman (379-6410) or Susan Blaco (379-8565) if you have any questions.

L. Allocation Dear Ms. Rooney: The Basketball League is entering its tenth year of operation. During the past year, the League has again seen a substantial increase in participation, with sign-ups growing from 200 in 1989 to 287 in 1990. Concurrent with this growth we have also experienced significant increases in the cost of operating this program. Leading the increases are: Liability insurance $1,200.00 increase Uniforms $2,500.00 increase Equipment $ 500.00 increase For the League to meet its obligations and provide a continued quality level of recreation, it will be necessary for us to request a proportional increase in support funds. Concurrent with this request, the League is prepared to raise its fees. for 1991. This will not mean that we will no longer offer scholarships for needy families in the city nor will we discontinue the multi family participant discount. We estimate that the League will need financial support of $2,950 for the fiscal year 1990 - 1991. We thank the City Council, Commission and your continued support for enabling us to provide this great service to the community. Very sincerely yours; Burk M.

As you may imagine, our costs are continually increasing and as such we are facing larger needs next season. Therefore, we are asking your office to consider the amount of five hundred dollars (500.00) as an appropriate grant amount for our program. If you checkyour records, we were receiving that amount in past years, but it was reduced to $250.00 this year and last year. The members contributing from Hermosa Beach are more in numbers and we assume that more are attending our four concerts partly due to your placing concert announcements on your Pacific Coast Highway sign. It is greatly appreciated. Should you or your staff have questions about our program I will be pleased to try and answer them. Sincerely, • Robert L. Peterson Chairman Encl.

There is no question that the result of these continuing clinic closures will be that, 1) Primary prevention services such as ours are increasingly needed; and, 2) We will be seeing more walk-in's at the Community Center needing immediate attention. These are the folks your staff is able to refer to us for assessment and linkage to other services. In relation to these steadily increasing demands for our services and our assistance to your staff as needed, I would like to ask if you might recommend a $3,000 allocation to us from the City's general fund. It would help offset some costs which we simply have absorbed because our purpose is to be available for human services, and to offset the fact we have not received a cost of living increase from any of our funding sources since 1979.Such has been the fate of many community agencies since the passage of Proposition 13. I would add that operational costs can just not be covered through special event fund-raising, or individual contributors, of whom we have our share in Hermosa.

Only one comment was made. That comment, under CIP 90-144, was to consider separating the bicyclists from the pedestrians along the Strand in some manner. (A wooden boardwalk on the sand side of the wall was mentioned.) 1 2 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Treasurer SUBJECT: Fiscal Year End Progress Review DATE: May 16, 1990 I. 1990 Interest Revenues. As of the April 1990 Investment Report, interest revenue was $763,000. This is approximately $200,000 over projection. II. One of my campaign promises was to aggressively review City expenditures of taxpayer's money. I must apologize to you all for reacting so slowly to my promise. I have been plagued with lack of support staff and have not acted aggressively enough to solve the problem. III. I am in the process of reviewing the financial administration of "Not for Profit" organizations receiving Hermosa Beach funding. My view is strictly financial. My concerns are: a. What is the service return to Hermosa Beach residents based upon the financial investment. Although I have not completed my review I have made some interesting observations and I will, at a later time, make recommendations" to the Council that will improve required reporting format. To give you some idea of problem areas: 1. Federal "Not for Profit" tax permit expired. _2. Lack of organization Treasurer. 3. No Treasurer's report. 4. No audit of Treasurer's report. 5. Possible expenditures of monies in exception to legal requirements. ,' IV. I am in the process of reviewing P.O.S.T. of City funds paid for Police activities. P.O.S.T. remunerates approximately 80% of expended funds. Three quarters of my audit report is completed at this time. I will present the completed report to City Council by July 1, 1990. SUtt PPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Gary Brutch City Treasurer 1 CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Treasurers SUBJECT: Suggestion for Revenue Enhancement DATE: May 15, 1990 The items listed below are presented to you for your consideration: I. Allow Vons and Alpha -Beta market to remain open 24 hours a day. A condition of the original Von's Plaza's development agreement was to limit Von's operating hours. Perhaps to allow Von's and Alpha -Beta to remain open would provide a service to the community and provide extra City revenue. II. Allow (as a part of the City's agreement) the Dispute Resolution Services to be the first step in City liability suit resolution. Presently the City through its Risk Manager and Insurance Carrier handle City liability suit resolution. Perhaps the Council could author an ordinance that would direct that the first step in City liability suit -resolution be an appearance in front of the Dispute Resolution Officer. I feel this change would tend to reduce liability awards. III. Hermosa Beach's water service is provided by "California Water Service" who is responsible for water system service maintenance and water bill collections. I personally have been long interested in the service provided by California Water Service to the City of Hermosa Beach. My ititial review of financial data seemed to conclude that if the City were to purchase (5 to 6 million) our decaying water system, bond to pay for the system with a 10 year pay back, the City could excelerate system rehabilitation (because the City does not pay taxes and would not pay investors.we could accumulate maintenance revenue faster), c4ap the financial benefit of the monthly payment money float, until the bond is paid off. Upon payment of the bond the City could then earmark the revenue for other financial necessities. aryj Bruts'ch City Treasurer SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 1b
