THE HERMOSA BEACH FORM OF GOVERNMENT
Hermosa Beach has the Council -Manager form of government, with a Aity,Manimer ap-
pointed by and. responsible to the City Council for carrying out Council pglicy. 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.

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.

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

second reading. Emergency ordinances are governed by different provisions and waive
the time requirements.
