ROLL CALL
Present: Barks, Cioffi, DeBellis, Mayor Brutsch
Absent: Wood
1. SOUTH BAY UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT REQUEST FOR PROGRAM FUNDING.
Memorandum from Mayor Pro Tem George Barks dated June 28, 1984.
City Manager Gregory T. Meyer presented the staff report noting
that should the staff recommendation to award a grant of
$22,000 to the District be approved, these monies would have to
be appropriated from the Prospective Expenditures Fund -as this
is not a budgeted item.
Mayor Pro Tem Barks was questioned by Council regarding the
differential between the shortfall of $92,000.(83-84) and the School
District's request for $193,000. Mr. Barks indicated that certain
income (transportation and uniform costs borne partially by
students) was not shown on this cost analysis. When questioned
re the method of repayment if a grant was approved, Mr. Barks
stated that this was to be determined by the City Managers of
the three South Bay cities involved along with their finance
departments.
PROPOSED ACTION - To direct the City Attorney to prepare a
contract with the South Bay Union High School District in which
the City will award a grant of $22,000 to the District to
partially fund all co -curricular activities for school year
84-85 only, to be repaid by June 30, 1986.

2. RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO CREATE A CITY-WIDE COMMUNITY FACILITIES
DISTRICT PURSUANT TO THE MELLO-ROOS ACT OF'1982. Letter from
Pamela S.. Swift to Douglas W. Ayres, MSI, dated June 27, 1984.
Supplemental information Memorandum from City Manager Gregory T.
Meyer dated July 5, 1984.
City Manager Meyer presented the staff report. Councilman DeBellis
questioned the $145 per dwelling.unit for 30 years., this being
a higher figure that originally discussed. Mr. Meyer stated that
this figure assumes no additional income to affect the debt.
Mr. Roy Stephenson of.Berryman & Stephenson, Inc, assessment
engineer, answered questions of staff and Council regarding
the tax per dwelling unit. He stated that the $145 was the
maximum rate but that the actual rate would be approximately
$139 per dwelling unit. This number would be firmed up prior to
the public hearing.
1 Minutes 7-5-84
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION - COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT (continued)
Mr. Meyer responded to questions of Council regarding expenses
related to the issuance of the bonds. He stated that approximately
$500,000 would be needed for issuance expense $1.5 million which
would have to be set aside as debt service reserve. Both
of these are figured into the $13.5 million. Mr. Stephenson
advised that discounts of 15-25o could be given to multiple
units if that is the pleasure of the Council. If the bond issue
was apportioned equally to all residential and commercial
properties, a per parcel levy per year would be $213.
After lengthy Council discussion, the following actions were
taken.
(1) ACTION To adopt the tax resolution stating the City's intention
to establish a. Community Facilities District #l, authorizing annual
levy of a special tax, fixing a time and place of a public
hearing and amending exhibit A to reflect a per unit residential
cost of $126 plus or minus, and $.14 per square foot plus or
minus for commercial as follows: Resolution No. 84-4727 entitled
"A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, STATING ITS INTENTION TO ESTABLISH COMMUNITY FACILITIES
DISTRICT NO. 1, AUTHORIZING THE ANNUAL LEVY OF A SPECIAL TAX,
FIXING THE TIME AND PLACE OF A PUBLIC HEARING."
Motion DeBellis, second Mayor Brutsch
AYES - DeBellis, Cioffi, Mayor Brutsch
NOES - Barks
ABSENT - Wood
(2) FURTHER ACTION - To adopt Resolution No. 84-4728 entitled "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO INCUR BONDED INDEBTEDNESS
IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $13,500,000 (THIRTEEN MILLION FIVE

District.
Motion DeBellis, second Mayor Brutsch
So ordered.
(4) South School Property/School District
ACTION - To direct City staff to meet with School District
personnel for the purpose of reporting back re what income
producing endeavors might jointly proceed regarding the
South School property - said report to be part of the July 24,
1984 agenda.

RESOLUTION OF INTENTION - COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT (continued
(5) Railroad Right -of -Way
ACTION - To direct the City's AT&SF negotiator to consummate
an acquisition of the railroad right-of-way subject to passage
of Mello -Roos as authorized in the previous action.
Motion DeBellis, second Mayor Brutsch
So ordered.
3. BALLOT MEASURES FOR THE NOVEMBER, 1984 ELECTION
a. Amendment of Civil Service Ordinance re Political
Activities
City Attorney Post advised Council that this measure
had already been written
b. Landscaping Maintenance District
This item had been tabled by previous action of the City
Council.
C. Hydrocarbon Recovery
The staff report was presented by City Attorney Post who
stated that what is to be considered by the City Council is
the wording on two exceptions to the oil drilling ban -
City Maintenance Yard and South School.
The school site oil issue would only become operative if
Mello -Roos and oil drilling at the Maintenance Yard failed.
Councilman Barks stated that this was not his understanding.
It was stated by a member of the audience (Karen Gale) that
the oil issue is to be separate from Mello -Roos. The
School District would have the mineral rights and the City
would own the property. Wilma Burt stated that the law
was unclear in that we have wells on the yard site and
the City could modernize without a vote of the people - only
extra drilling would require a vote of the people. It
must be limited to site specific or the people will never
approve the measure.
City Clerk Reviczky reported that the final motion accepted
by the School Board, pending legal opinion was as follows:
"To adopt the Joint Powers purchase for $3.5 million. The
City would give them a line of credit to begin their
construction; the School Board would maintain the mineral
rights; they would have reversion rights if the property
was not used as open space, exclusing the .87 acre built-up
area; that the rezoning of South School would begin
immediately western .87 acre to R-3 and completed within
90 days, contingent on the failure of Mello -Roos and they
amended the motion .to include mineral rights on the entire
site."

HYDROCARBON RECOVERY BALLOT MEASURE (continued
Karen Gale.of the Hermosa Beach School Board stated that
the Board was under the impression that there would be
two separate ballot measures concerning oil drilling -
one for drilling at the City Maintenance Yard and one
for drilling at South School.
City Clerk Reviczky advised that a motion had been generated
by the City Council to propose an exception to oil drilling
at South School if Mello -Roos failed. Council had agreed
and then the School Board had countered.
City Attorney Post stated that rezoning would begin and
become operative if Mello -Roos failed. He also advised
that the issue of oil drilling on the South School site
could be put on the ballot on behalf of the School District
without Council taking a position on the issue. The School
District, to put a measure on the ballot, would have to go
through a petition process which could not be done in a
timely fashion for the November election. Mr. Post stated
that oil drilling at South School could be made contingent
on the failure of Mello -Roos (drilling at the City Yard
site) .
After lengthy discussion, the following ordinance pertaining
to amending the prohibition against oil wells was approved
by Council with the addition as noted:
ACTION - To adopt
Ordinance No. 84-758 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA
BEACH SUBMITTED TO THE VOTERS BY THE CITY COUNCIL AMENDING
THE PROHIBITION AGAINST OIL WELLS TO ALLOW FOR THE PROCURE-
MENT OF OIL AND .GAS FROM CERTAIN CITY OWNED LANDS with the
addition of the following paragraph:
SECTION 1 - line 14 -
"A. The revenue derived by the City from this site
shall be used first to reduce any bonded indebtedness
resulting from the enactment of Community Facilities
District Number 1, which district would acquire the South
School site, the Seaview Parkette, and the railroad right-
of-way; and, second the acquisition, maintenance and
improvement of available excess school or other properties
for open space and parkland purposes."
Motion DeBellis, second Mayor Brutsch
So ordered.
FURTHER ACTION - To adopt Ordinance No. 84-759 - AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH SUBMITTED TO THE
VOTERS BY THE CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE PROHIBITION AGAINST

HYDROCARBON RECOVERY BALLOT MEASURE (continued)
Line 13 - Add: "The revenue derived by the School District
from this site shall be used only for educational purposes."
Motion DeBellis, second Barks. So ordered.
d. Mello -Roos (discussed as item 2)
ACTION - To ask two members of the School Board and three
members of the City Council to write the argument in favor
of the Mello -Roos ballot measure.
Motion Cioffi, second Mayor Brutsch. So ordered
City Manager Meyer advised Council that the language for
the impartial analysis of the Mello -Roos measure would be
presented to Council on July 10.
Wilma Burt made a point of order requesting that Councilman Barks.
in his argument in favor of the Civil Service ballot measure, refer
to this measure as changing People's Ordinance NS 211.
e. People's Initiative re Open Space Lands
Councilman DeBellis will write the argument against this
People's Initiative. (Withdrawn by Councilman DeBellis.)

South Bay Union High School District Request for Funds. There being
no opposition the following actions were taken.
PROPOSED ACTION - To award a grant of $22,000 to South Bay Union High
School District to be repaid in one year at an interest rate of 100.
Motion DeBellis
SUBSTITUTE ACTION - To agree in concept to South Bay Union High
School District's grant of $22,000, the City Manager to return with
further details.
Motion Barks, second DeBellis
AYES - Barks, DeBellis
NOES - Cioffi, Mayor Brutsch
Motion fails
Prior to the vote on the above proposed substitute action, lengthy
discussion ensued. City Manager Meyer advised that repayment cannot
be demanded. Other devices are available to School Districts such as
fund raisers in the community by non-profit groups.
City Manager Meyer was requested to contact the Superintendent of
the South Bay Union High School District and share with him the
concerns of various Councilmembers and also consider in his final
recommendation to Council a possible interest rate.
Wilma Burt questioned the School District asking for $100,000, not
$190,000, the repayment question and felt that the City should not
bail out the.District.

HONORABLE MAYOR and MEMBERS of the
HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL
July 3, 1984
REGULAR MEETING of
July 10, 1984
STATE TRANSIT ASSISTANCE FUND AND LOCAL TRANSPORTATION FUND
Recommendation
That the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing a grant
application for these funding sources.
Background
At your meeting of June 12, 1984, City Council approved the 1985-1989
Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). This plan included funding from LTF and
STA sources for FY1984-85 for the Hermosa Beach Transit. The grant amounts
are: LTF $30,000
STA $ 4,000
For the past few years the City of Hermosa Beach has been receiving operating
assistance from the Federal Government in the form of UNTA Section 5 and 9
and State Transit assistance in the form of STA and LTF grants.
Analysis
The funding from these sources will be used to operate the City's Dial -
A -Ride and Beach Shuttle services for the upcoming fiscal year. The cost
for these services for FY84-85 is estimated at $92,400. (The current con-
tract with Transit Contractors is through March 1985.) The LTF and STA
grants at $34,000 make up approximately 37% of the total cost. The remaining
funds will be made up of Proposition A monies, UNTA Section 9 grant, and
the City's contribution.
If the City Council denied these funds, the alternatives would be:
1. The City finance the entire cost of operating the system for
the upcoming fiscal year at an estimated cost of $92,400.
2. The City finance the entire cost with Proposition A funds.
(The estimated allocation for Hermosa Beach in FY84-85 is $156,000.)
If the City should elect not to apply for State Transit funding during
FY84-85, future applications would be subject to greater scrutiny during
processing.
It is expected that Proposition A will continue; however, should it be
repealed or changed by a new ballot measure the City could be left
with no transit funding assistance. Also, Proposition A monies are used
for a variety of transit projects; such as painting or repairing current
vehicles, purchasing new vehicles and coordinating with other Cities for
transit systems. (ESEA) If the City was to obligate a majority of the
Proposition A allocation to Hermosa Beach Transit, it could leave a
short fall for other projects.
Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached resolution author-
izing LTF and STA grant applications.

HONORABLE MAYOR and MEMBERS of the REGULAR MEETING of
HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL July 10, 1984
CHANGE OF SCOPE FOR THE 1976 BOND ACT
Recommendation
That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving a change in scope for
project 76-19026.
Background
This project had originally been approved for the construction of Paddle Ball Courts at
the Community Center. Ms. Mastrian, Director of Community Resources, requested a
change of project scope to the Fire Hydrant Upgrade Project. In order for this to be
accomplished, the Department of Parks and Recreation requires a Resolution from the
City Council approving the change in scope.
Analysis
The Fire Hydrant Upgrade is vital to the successful completion of the Hermosa Beach
Community Center Renovation Project. The Center needs the upgrade in order to
meet health and safety standards for occupancy. The Community Development
Director and staff feel that the Fire Hydrant Upgrade project will be of greater
benefit than the construction of Paddle Ball Courts. The original project amount was
$45,049. This amount will remain the same regardless of the change of scope.
Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution authorizing the change in scope
for project 76-19026.
