HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
WELCOME! By your presence in the City Council Chambers you are
participating in the process of representative government. Your
government welcomes your interest and hopes you will attend the
City Council meetings often
THE HERMOSA BEACH FORM OF GOVERNME
Hermosa Beach has the Council -Manager form of government, with a City Manager ap-
pointed by and responsible to the City Council for carrying out Council policy. The.
Mayor and Council decide what is to be done. The City Manager, operating through
the entire City staff, does it. This separation of policy making and administration
is considsered the most economical and efficient form of City government in the
United States today.
GLOSSARY
The following explanations may help you to understand the terms found on most agen-
das for meetings of the Hermosa Beach City Council.
Consent Items
A compilation of all routine matters to be acted upon by one vote; approval re-
quires a majority affirmative vote. Any Councilmember can remove an item from this
listing thereby causing that matter to be considered under the category Consent Cal-
endar items Removed For Separate Discussion.
Public Hearings
Public Hearings are held on certain matters as required by law. The Hearings afford
the public the opportunity to appear and formally express their views regarding the
matter being heard. Additionally, letters may be filed with the City Clerk, prior
to the Hearing.
Hearings
Hearings are held on other matters of public importance for which there is no legal
requirement to conduct an advertised Public Hearing.
Ordinances
An ordinance is a law that regulates government revenues and/or public conduct. All
ordinances require two "readings". The first reading introduces the ordinance into
the records. At least one week later Council may adopt, reject or hold over the
ordinance to a subsequent meeting. Regular ordinances take effect 30 days after the
second reading. Emergency ordinances are governed by different provisions and waive
the time requirements.
Written Communications
The public, members of advisory boards/commissions or organizations may formally
communicate to or make a request of Council by letter; said letters should be filed
with the City Clerk by the Wednesday preceeding the Regular City Council meeting.
Miscellaneous Items and Reports - City Manager
_The City Manager coordinates departmental reports and brings items to the attention
of, or for action by the City Council.
Verbal reports may be given by the City Manager regarding items not on the agenda,
usually having arisen since the agenda was prepared on the preceding Wednesday.
Miscellaneous Items and Reports - City Council
Members of the City Council may place items on the agenda for consideration by the
full Council.
Other Matters - City Council
These are matters that come to the attention of a Council member after publication
of the Agenda.
Oral Communications from the Public - Matters of an Urgency Nature
Citizens wishing to address the City Council on an urgency matter not elsewhere con-
sidered on the agenda may do so at this time.
Parking Authority
The Parking Authority is a financially separate entity, but is operated as an inte-
gral part of the City government.
Vehicle Parking District No. 1
The City Council also serves as the Vehicle Parking District Commission. It's pur-
pose is to oversee the operation of certain downtown parking lots and otherwise pro-
mote public parking in the central business district.
"The pessimit sees the difficulty in every opportunity;
the optima t, the opportunity in every difficulty."

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Tony DeBellis DATE: April 16, 1986
FROM: City Manager Gregory T. Meyer
RE: Suggested "deletions": Council Subcommittees
On reflection, staff susggests that only the following subcommit-
tees of the City Council be re -appointed:
Police/Fire
School
Planning
Coordinating Council
This would result in the following subcommittees being
deactivated:
Business Relations
City Community Relations
City/County Relations
Railroad Right of Way
State Legislation Review
Transportation & Parking
Rather than keep these subcommittees, it is suggested that the
City Council utilize an Ad Hoc approach to specific and unique
issues/items.

TO: City Councilmembers, City Manager, City Attorney
FROM: Mayor Jack Wood
RE: Financial records of Councilmember George Barks
At our meeting of March 25, we all agreed by minutes motion that
Mr. Barks would provide any and all records requested by Mr.
Creighton regarding the Loreto visits as were available to Mr.
Barks. As of today Mr. Creighton informs me that Mr. Barks has
refused to provide the records of the checking account which the
money was disbursed through. Mr. Creighton has requested it from.
Mr. Barks, has been refused it by Mr. Barks, and Mr. Barks has
refused authorization to have his bank provide said records.
This is evidentally in violation of our agreement.
It is suggested that Mr. Barks be prepared to discuss this matter
at our next regular meeting for resolution. If Mr. Barks fails
to provide the records, Mr. Creighton has indicated that he will
file suit including Mr. Barks, the City itself, and all members
of the City Council. Since most of us would like to avoid this I
encourage George to release the records because we all know that
Roger will get them in a suit anyway.

ing structures, both above and underground, would
remain available to the City for ingress and egress
and use, and if the driller wishes to modify or
move the buildings, this would be subject to later
agreement by the City. This would be done by the
drilling permit process.
b. Regarding the public noticing requirements, the
Resolution of Intention stated a "daily newspaper"
which should be changed to the EASY READER for our
local noticing. Council should consider the pro-
priety of putting an ad in the LOS ANGELES TIMES

make this item read: "14. That the proposal like-
wise shall be supported by a noncollusion affidavit
which states that the bidder has not entered into
any agreements with other persons or potential bid-
ders to limit or otherwise control the manner in
which bids are proposed."...

MENTS is blank, if Council has no suggestions, City
Attorney Lough suggests putting in that area "This
item will include the conditions placed upon the
driller at the permit stage."

of Intention for 30 days, immediately contact the Hermo-
sa Beach School District to see if they want to be a

ted, get their input and at the second meeting in May
