December 9, 1983 Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting of the City Council of December 13, 1983 ACTIVITY REPORT The status of current and proposed Public Works projects are as follows: o The installation of new circuitry and luminaires on Pier Avenue between Pacific Coast Highway and Hermosa Avenue on both the west and south sides of the street has been completed. This greatly increases the level of illumination (approximately three times). In addition, cost to operate the system is diminished by two thirds. This also eliminated periodic short circuits that darkened portions or all of the system. The original sys- tem was installed in 1928. o Strand Lights - This project provided for the instal- lation of luminaires in new locations where they previously did not exist along the Strand between 10th and 15th Streets. Those luminaires that were existing were replaced with energy efficient high pressure sodium vapor lights. o Walk Street Lighting - 30th Street and 31st Street between Manhattan Avenue and Morningside Drive - deteriorated walk street luminaires were replaced in all locations with refurbished Town and Country luminaires. This will provide a more dependable light fixture that is less susceptible to failure and is aesthetically in harmony with the surrounding environment. o Valley Park Lighting - All luminaires in Valley Park in need of servicing were refurbished and repaired. In addition, a lighting fixture similar to those installed on 30th and 31st streets were installed. o Prospect Avenue - The Department continues to perform street renovation to the existing cracked roadway on Prospect Avenue between 190th Street and Aviation. This project is very time consuming due to the high volumes of traffic. o Christmas Lighting - The Department has completed the installation of Christmas lights throughout the City. The magnitude of this project this year versus previous years has greatly increased due to the additional amount of decorations purchased by the City. It is estimated that there is twice the amount of decorations. - Continued - N Q City Council Meeting of December 13, 1983 Activity Report Page 2 o Poinsettia's - It is estimated that approximately 260 poinsettias have been planted at various loca- tions throughout the City to exemplify the Christ- mas spirit. o Planters Along Hermosa Avenue - The Department has just completed the replacement of all broken blocks in the median strip planters and at 2nd, 15th, 22nd, and 26th streets. o Bayview Storm Drain - The Department, working in con- junction with the adjacent development in the 700 block of Bayview is 80% complete in the installation of a drainage system that will reduce flooding in this area. o Los Angeles County Flood Control Storm Drain Project - The Department is continuing to work with Los Angeles County Flood Control in the installation of 1,900 feet of storm drain varying in size from 24" to 30". This project is approximately 30-45 days to completion. Gre ory T.

Post, City Attorney ' SUBJECT: Ballot Proposition, Appointive City Treasurer The City Council may submit to the electorate the question of whether the office of treasurer shall be appointive, Govern- ment Code Section 36508. The question to be printed on the ballot is: "Shall the office of city treasurer be appointive?',' Gov't. Code § 36509 If a majority of the votes cast is for the proposition, the City Council appoints the treasurer at the expiration of the term of the treasurer now in office. The treasurer would then hold office during the pleasure of the Council. The treasurer would not be required to be a resident or elector of the City. The Council, by ordinance, may vest in the City Manager its authority to appoint the treasurer, Government Code Section 36510. The office may be made elective again by the same process, but the change can be submitted to the electorate not more than once in an 11 month period, Government Code Section 36508. If such a proposition is placed on the ballot and is enacted, I would recommend that the electorate's action be spelled out in an ordinance as a reminder that the action was taken. Charles J. st City Auto y CJP/ld C�) Should the South School Site be sold for the development of 99 housing units and a 1' acre park? Should the city enter into a development agreement whereby South School, North School, Prospect Heights School, and Hermosa View School could be developed into housing sites? Should the city and the school board enter into a bonding authority to save the school sites from development and provide the funds to construct the new facilities needed at the Hermosa Middle School? (SUBMITTED BY COUNCILMAN WOOD) 150 ONO) ..� December 8, 1983 City Council Meeting December 13, 1983 Mayor and Alembers of the City Council POSSIBLE BALLOT INITIATIVES - 4-10-84 Recommendations: In the event that one or more ballot measures are approved to be put before the electorate in the General Municipal Election to be held on April 10, 1984, it is mandatory (legal time constraints) that the following be done this evening: 1. To approve for the ballot pamphlet the proposed ordinance regarding the Office of the City Treasurer. 2. To approve for the ballot pamphlet precise wording of proposed ballot measures on the status of the Office of City Treasurer, a mandatory measure, and the three advisory measures regarding school sites in Hermosa Beach. 3. To authorize certain of its members to file a written argument regarding the proposed measure/measures. 4. To direct the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis on any and all measures approved as above. 5. To decide on whether to allow rebuttal arguments. Background: At the meeting of 12-6-83 there were the following actions: To direct the City Attorney to draw up a ballot proposition to be placed before the electorate to decide the question of whether the position of City Treasurer should be an elected position or an appointed position to be on the City Council agenda for discussion on December 13, 1983. :lotion Schmeltzer, second Brutsch Ayes: Barks, Brutsch, Wood, Mayor Schmeltzer Noes: Webber To have the City Attorney prepare three ballot propositions for approval of the voters with regard to the sale of school sites as follows: 1. Should the South School site be developed into 99 condominiums ?; 2. Should the school sites be rezoned and sold to developers for the purpose of housing ?; 3. Should the City and Board of Education enter into a binding agreement to provide "Y" millions of dollars for the construction of additional school facilities at Hermosa View (?) School ? Motion Wood, second Webber Ayes: Brutsch, Webber, Wood Noes: Barks, Schmeltzer 156 It was noted that the three school measures would probably be advisory. Implementation of Items 3, 4 and 5 as above is dependent upon action on Items 1 and 2. I would again urge that rebuttals not be authorized, as complicating an already complex procedure, costing more money for printing and not contributing that much to voter information. However, this is a decision to be made by council. Precise information on deadlines for arguments and rebuttals will be furnished following your action tonight. C arlotte Malone, City Clerk Concur: Gre r or T. ,MeyerM Cdty tvIanager CITY MANAGER NOTE: In the interest of the democratic process, I do not concur that rebuttal argument should not be allowed for. - 2 - SOME INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO GIVE A COMMUNITY ITS VIABILITY AND SENSE OF CHARACTER ARE, CERTAINLY, A GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE, CHURCHES, PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES SUCH AS FIRE AND POLICE, SCHOOLS AND LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, OPEN SPACE RECREATIONAL AREAS. THERE ARE COMMUNITIES NOT T00 DISTANT FROM HERMOSA BEACH WHERE KIDS AND ADULTS DO NOT HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTLY ENJOYED BY THE HERMOSA COMMUNITY. ON THE WEEKENDS I FREQUENTLY GO WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO RECREATE AT VALLEY PARK, AS I AM SURE MY FRIENDS IN SOUTH HERMOSA GO TO SOUTH SCHOOL. I AM, AS I AM SURE YOU ARE, CONSISTENTLY PLEASED BY THE NUMBER OF CITIZENS USING THE FACILITIES. I AM SURE IT COMES AS NO SURPRISE TO THE CHUCK SHELDONS AND THE BOB CURRIES THAT OUR PARKS ARE CONTINUALLY USED BY INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN ORGANIZED SPORTS. TO REFRAIN FROM NEGOTIATING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE OPEN SPACE WOULD BE A DISASTER. I AM CONVINCED THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD PRESENT THIS ENTIRE MATTER TO THE COURT AND, AS A RESULT OF COURT ACTION, THE CITY WOULD BE TOLD WHERE AND HOW MUCH OPEN SPACE WOULD REMAIN RECREATIONAL. SURE, WE WILL PROTEST ANY COURT ACTION, BUT I GUARANTEE YOU THAT THE CITY WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND MONEY TO SATISFY THE COURT MANDATED PARKLAND PURCHASE PRICE. I AM EQUALLY CONFIDENT THAT THE COURT WILL NOT BE AS RESPONSIVE AS THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS BEEN TO THE CITY'S REQUEST REGARDING CONTIGUOUS SIZE AND LOCATION OF OPEN SPACE. I CONTINUE TO HEAR THE PHRASE "HIDDEN AGENDA". I CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE ANY HIDDEN AGENDA. IT IS MY DESIRE TO PRESERVE FOR OUR CITIZENS AS MUCH PARK OPEN SPACE AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE AS POSSIBLE. PERHAPS THE HIDDEN AGENDA IS DEVELOPMENT. YES, DEVELOPMENT. PERHAPS IRRESPONSIBLE DEVELOPERS WOULD LIKE THIS PRESENT CONCEPT TO FAIL, PERHAPS DEVELOPERS WOULD LIKE THIS ACQUISITION ISSUE TO PROCEED THROUGH THE COURT. JUST THINK, FRIENDS, JUST HOW MUCH MORE PROFITABLE IT WOULD BE TO DEVELOPERS IF ALL OF SOUTH SCHOOL AND MOST OF VALLEY PARK WERE DEVELOPED. IF THE ACQUISITION CONCEPT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE PUBLIC PARK RECREATION SPACE DIES AND THE OPEN SPACE IS AWARDED TO DEVELOPERS, THE OBITUARY WILL BE WRITTEN NAMING EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO FAILED TO SUPPORT THE CITY IN ITS ATTEMPT TO PROTECT RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE AS SUSPECTS IN THE CRIME. IT IS TIME FOR ALL OF US WHO SUPPORT THE PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE FOR RECREATIONAL USE TO STAND UP AND BE HEARD. a HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM YOUR CITY COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF!

REPORT ON IMPACT OF "NO PARKING" ON BORDEN AVENUE. Memoran- dum from Public Works Director Charles Clark dated December 8, 1983. Supplemental information - petition from Residents of Borden and 21st Street dated December 12, 1983 signed by 13 Residents. The staff report was presented by Public Works Director Clark who showed slides regarding the affected area. Speaking from the audience was Kathy Anderson May who requested clarification regarding Councilman Wood and his possible conflict of interest and should he be allowed to vote on this item. City Attorney Post indicated if that building was a source of income within the last 12 months and where the participa- tion might have a material financial impact on a source of income, that would be a disqualifying interest. Councilman Wood stated he had not received any income from that building in the last two years. The City Attorney then stated that it would not have a material financial effect and thus there would be no con- flict of interest. Mrs.May continued noting that the building occupants Minutes 12-13-83 have a reciprocal agreement with Hope Chapel regarding parking, the need for visitor parking, and future parking demands when the building is full. She reiterated what had been done to mitigate the impact of being adjacent to residential and urged that a decision be made tonight rather than granting a time extension. As a compromise, the following was suggested: a) An electronic gate be installed to close trash area. b) Removal of gates because of noise. c) Open parking on the West side of Borden. d) Restricted parking on the East side of Borden. Others coming forward to speak were: Mike DeMott, 2200 Pacific Coast Highway noting that there are 40 spaces for tenants available at Hope Chapel and 19 spaces for visitors at the condominium itself. Maximum density will be reached in a month or two and they do have a verbal agreement with Hope Chapel for the use of more parking spaces. When questioned by Council regarding the trash pick-up time, Mr. DeMott stated they had no problem with a later pick-up but that the trash contract was with the City. Rev. Richard Parker, 2110 Borden Avenue., indicating that Mr. DeMott and Mr. Moser met with them in their home when this building was in the development stage. He felt that there was a gentlemen's agreement regarding the gates which would be used for emergency exit only, signs indicating deliveries to be made on Pacific Coast Highway and when the building was completed, there would be a return to a degree of the former peace and tranquility. He noted that the underground parking was not being utilized - at one time there were only 8-10 cars in the parking area. Bob Hodges, 1958 Monterey, a tenant in the building in question, had been assured that there would be parking available on Borden Avenue and he requests that parking be made available on Borden for tenants and visitors from 9 AM - 5 PM or a two-hour limit.
