December 1, 2020
Page 2 of 3
BACKGROUND:
The EI Segundo Police Department's (ESPD) firing range was in dire need of
improvements. The acoustic sound -proof material had not been replaced in many years
and was far beyond its usable service life. The previously installed foam sound -proofing
material was missing in certain areas as it was deteriorated over time. Furthermore, the
ESPD desired to replace the outdated and aged firing range targeting system. The
previous targeting system continuously broke down and limited range shooting trainings
by the ESPD. These firing range shooting activities are mandated by Department policy
and every police officer on duty needs to complete these monthly shooting trainings
throughout the year.
DISCUSSION:
On March 3, 2020, City Council awarded a standard Public Works Contract to Meggitt
Training Systems, Inc. (Meggitt) in the amount of $245,000 and approved an additional
$24,500 for construction related contingencies.
Construction began on August 24, 2020 and was completed by Meggitt on October 22,
2020. The inspection of the work was performed by Public Works and Development
Services staff and it was determined that the project was completed in accordance with
the plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of the City staff. Ceiling and fire
sprinkler system modifications and electrical upgrades were added as necessary change
orders for amount of 29,716.39. An additional $5,216.39 is needed to augment the
budget for these additional modifications and upgrades. However, no additional
appropriation is needed because there is sufficient fund left in the Police Department
Upgrades account #301-400-8201-8708 as the other ESPD upgrades were completed
under budget.
Staff recommends that City Council approve the recommended actions as noted.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 4: Develop Quality Infrastructure and Technology
Objective A: EI Segundo's physical infrastructure supports an appealing, safe and
effective City
Goal 3: Develop as a Choice Employer & Workforce
Objective: EI Segundo is the city employer of choice and consistently hires for the future,
with a workforce that is inspired, world-class, and engaged, demonstrating
increasing stability and innovation.

TITLE:
City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: December 1, 2020
Agenda Heading: Consent
Second reading of ordinance to amend Development Agreement No. DA 03-01 (8t"
Amendment) for the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point development project to increase
the allowed percentage of non -sales tax generating uses to 40 percent.
[Case numbers: Environmental Assessment No. EA -1279 and Development Agreement
No. DA 20-01]
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt an ordinance to amend Development Agreement No. DA 03-01 (gtn
Amendment) for the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point development project to
increase the allowed percentage of non -sales tax generating uses to 40 percent.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Potential for a reduction in sales tax generated from the subject property that may be
somewhat offset by an increase in the Business license Tax generated. If building
improvements are made to attract and accommodate nonretail tenants, this could have a
positive impact on the assessed value of the property and result in an increase in the
property tax received for the subject property.
BACKGROUND:
On November 17, 2020, the City Council introduced an Ordinance and waived the first
reading to amend the Development Agreement for the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point
development project to increase the allowed percentage of non -sales tax generating uses
to 40 percent.
If the Ordinance is adopted by the City Council at its December 1 st meeting, the effective
date of the Ordinance will be December 31, 2020, which is thirty (30) days from the
adoption date.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) COMPLIANCE:
The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Title 14 California Code of Regulations § 15061(b)(3) —
the common sense exemption as it can be seen with certainty that there will not be an
impact, because no substantial construction and no addition of building area is being
proposed. The proposed change to the mix of uses will maintain the total daily and peak
AM and PM traffic trips generated by the shopping center below the levels estimated 4

Plaza EI Segundo Development Agreement
December 1, 2020
Page 2 of 2
previously; and no other impact areas should be affected; and CEQA Guidelines § 15305
— the Class 5 exemption for minor alterations in land use limitations as office and other
non -retail uses are already allowed in the C-4 zone and the only change involves the ratio
of office and other non -retail uses to retail uses.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 1: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability
Objective A: EI Segundo promotes economic growth and vitality for businesses and the
community.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO DA
20-01 (EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO.
DA 03-01) AND AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
FOR THE PLAZA EL SEGUNDO AND THE POINT DEVELOPMENT.
The City Council of the city of EI Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On March 15, 2005, the City Council approved a development known as
Plaza EI Segundo. Approvals for that development were subsequently
amended to allow for different types of uses including, among others, Health
Clubs and Fitness Center (2007); Health/Skin Care and automobile sale
uses (2008); fast food restaurants, banks, dance/music studios (2009); and
medical and dental offices (2010);
B. On September 3, 2013, the City Council further amended the approvals for
the development to, among other amendments, increase the size of the
previously approved shopping center floor area by 49,613 square feet;
C. On October 3, 2017, the City further amended the permitted uses including
among others, daycare centers, personal services, public assembly and
recreational uses (2017);
D. On March 9, 2020, Street Retail, Inc. filed applications for an Environmental
Assessment and an amendment of the Development Agreement and
Conditions of Approval for the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point
development project to increase the proportion of non -sales tax generating
uses to 40 percent;
E. The City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.,
"CEQA"), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of
Regulations §§15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines"), and the City's
Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted
March 16, 1993);
F. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and
scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before the Planning
Commission for October 22, 2020;
G. On October 22, 2020, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the application
including, without limitation, information provided to the Planning
Page 1 of 5
26
Commission by city staff; and, adopted Resolution No. 2888 recommending
that the City Council approve the proposed project;
H. On November 17, 2020, the City
considered the information provided
regarding this Ordinance; and
Council held a public hearing and
by City staff and public testimony
This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire
administrative record including, without limitation, testimony and evidence
presented to the City Council at its November 17, 2020 hearing and the staff
report submitted by the Planning and Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds that the proposed
amendments would result in the following:
A. Amend the development agreement and conditions of approval to increase
the maximum percentage of project floor area dedicated to non -sales tax
generating uses to 40 percent for both the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point
shopping centers;
SECTION 3: General Plan Findings. As required under Government Code Section
65860, the amendments proposed by the Ordinance are consistent with the EI Segundo
General Plan as follows:
A. The proposed ordinance is consistent with Goal LU4 of the General Plan
Land Use Element in that it will help maintain a high quality retail center in
proximity to major employment centers and provide new office uses.
B. The proposed ordinance is consistent with Goal ED1 of the General Plan
Economic Development Element in that it will help diversify the City's
employment and tax base by permitting a mix of retail, office and other uses.
C. The proposed ordinance is consistent with Objective ED1-2 of the General
Plan Economic Development Element in that would permit several new
uses in the C-4 zone, which promotes the diversification of the City's retail
and commercial base.
SECTION 4: Development Agreement Findings. In accordance with Government Code
§ 64867.5 and Resolution No. 3268, adopted June 26, 1984, the City Council finds as
follows:
A. The Development Agreement is consistent with the General Plan of EI
Segundo and there are no applicable Specific Plans. The Revised and
Restated Development Agreement is an extension of that Development
Agreement originally approved in March 2005 and therefore a continuation
of the Development Agreement Findings set forth in Section 5 of Ordinance
No. 1382 which findings are incorporated by reference. By expanding the
Page 2 of 5
27
allowed uses, the Development Agreement continues to provide the
following benefits:
1. Protection against the Plaza EI Segundo development (both Phase
1A and Phase 1 B) from becoming blighted due to a change in retail sales
by allowing additional uses which will create a synergy;
2. Provision of an attractive urban destination;
3. Increasing and stabilizing the City's tax base by allowing new
commercial development;
4. Provision of long-term employment and increase the employment
opportunities for the residents of the City of EI Segundo;
5. Add to the diversification of economic base in the City;
6. Provision of significant fiscal benefit to the City through additional
business licenses and sales tax revenues; and
7. Provision of additional retail use and commercial services to the
adjacent employment centers.
B. The Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in and
regulations prescribed for the Commercial Center (C-4) zoning district.
C. The Development Agreement is in conformity with the public convenience,
general welfare and good land use practice as it provides expanded
commercial opportunities in a synergistic manner with the existing Plaza EI
Segundo development and adjacent land uses but does not increase the
overall allowed traffic.
D. The Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly
development of property or the preservation of property values as it does
not expand development beyond the physical boundaries of Plaza EI
Segundo (Phase 1A and Phase 1 B), which is already developed.
SECTION 5: Environmental Assessment. The project is categorically exempt from
environmental review pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14 ("CEQA
guidelines") § 15061(b)(3) —the common sense exemption as it can be seen with certainty
that there will not be an impact, because no substantial construction and no addition of
building area is being proposed; the proposed change to the mix of uses will maintain the
total daily and peak AM and PM traffic trips generated by the shopping center below the
levels estimated previously; and no other impact areas should be affected; and CEQA
Guidelines § 15305 — the Class 5 exemption for minor alterations in land use limitations
as office and other non -retail uses are already allowed in the C-4 zone and the only
Page 3of5
IMP
change involves the ratio of office and other non -retail uses to retail uses
SECTION 6: Amendments to the Development Agreement and Conditions.
Development Agreement No. 03-01, as previously amended, is hereby amended and
attached as Exhibit "A". This revised Development Agreement and the conditions
attached thereto supersede Development Agreement 03-01 and the seven amendments
thereto as approved in Ordinance Nos. 1382 (Section 713), 1406 (Section 3), 1417
(Section 5A), 1430 (Section 3), 1446 (Section 3), 1481 (Section 7), 1499 (Section 4) and
1556 (Section 13). The Conditions Attached to the Revised Development Agreement
supersede those conditions that were previously approved by Ordinance Nos. 1382
(Section 7F), 1417 (Section 5E), 1481 (Section 8), and 1556 (Section 13) and Resolution
Nos. 4415 (Section 5F), 4542 (Section 5C), 4838 (Section 8A), and 5053 (Section 8D).
SECTION 7: CONSTRUCTION. This Ordinance must be broadly construed in order to
achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council's intent that the
provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a
manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.
SECTION 8: ENFORCEABILITY. Repeal of any provision of the ESMC does not affect
any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition
of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's effective date. Any such
repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting
violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 9: VALIDITY OF PREVIOUS CODE SECTIONS. If this entire Ordinance or its
application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal or
amendment of the ESMC or other city ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void
and cause such previous ESMC provision or other the city ordinance to remain in full
force and effect for all purposes.
SECTION 10: SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity
will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this
end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original
ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and,

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Second Revised and Restated Development Agreement (the "Agreement") is made
and entered into by and between the CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, a municipal corporation (referred
to hereinafter as "City"), PES PARTNERS, LLC, a California limited liability company and
STREET RETAIL, INC. (individually and collectively referred to hereinafter as "Developer") as

individually as "Party" and collectively as "Parties". In consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement, City and Developer agree as follows:

following purposes, each of which is acknowledged as true and correct by the Parties:

or "Area A").
1.3 Developer and/or Developer's Predecessors in Interest entered into a Development
Agreement with the City in 2005 regarding the Property and six amendments thereto. On October
3, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1556, which in part approved a Revised and
Restated Development Agreement. This Agreement was recorded with the Los Angeles County
Recorder's office on January 4, 2018 as Document No. 20180013448.
1.4 The City certified a Final Environmental Impact Report for Environmental
Assessment No. 631 (SCH No. 2003121037) (the "EIR"), and approved the Mitigation Monitoring

approximately 379,495 square feet. Phase 1B currently consists of approximately 117,914 square
feet.
1.7 In addition to allowing additional square footage to be developed, the Revised and
Restated Development Agreement made other changes to help with the success of the shopping
centers by allowing additional uses and eliminating specific square footage requirements of
allowed uses to provide more flexibility in the mix of tenants allowed in the Property. The Revised
and Restated Development Agreement also set percentage limits on the amount of Sales Tax
Generating Uses and Non -Sales Tax Generating Uses in both Phases lA and 113.
1.8 Despite the added flexibility that was provided with the Revised and Restated
Development Agreement, there still have been problems leasing out the spaces at The Collection
in Phase lA and high vacancy rates in both The Collection and The Works remain a problem.
Further, the global pandemic has greatly changed the viability of brick and mortar retail businesses
and the vacancy rates at The Point are also high. Vacancies in these areas will create a negative
impact on the remaining businesses, which will lead to further vacancies and a further dwindling
of sales tax.
1.9 The vehicle trip caps established by the original approvals will remain in place.
1.10 By this Agreement, each Party desires to obtain the binding agreement of the other
Party to develop the Property in accordance with the Project Approvals, Applicable Rules and this
Agreement. In consideration thereof, City agrees to limit the future exercise of certain of its
governmental and proprietary powers to the extent specified in this Agreement. Developer agrees
to waive its rights, if any, to challenge legally the limitations on density and use imposed upon
development of the Property and other restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement and
the Project Approvals.
1.11 City and Developer have acknowledged and agreed that the consideration that is to
be exchanged pursuant to this Agreement is fair, just and reasonable and that this Agreement is
consistent with the General Plan of City.
1.12 This Agreement is intended to provide flexible entitlements, within the parameters
set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to meet the changing market
demands that are likely to occur throughout the buildout of the Project.

Commission recommended that the City Council approve this Second Revised and Restated
Agreement pursuant to a Notice of Exemption.
1.16 On '2020, the City Council of the City ("City Council")

exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) and the Class 5 Exemption under
CEQA Guidelines section 15305 for minor alterations to land use limitations.
1.17 Section 15 of the Revised and Restated Development Agreement provides for
amendment of the Development Agreement upon mutual consent of the parties and in accordance
with the procedures established by the Development Agreement Act. The City Council found that
this Revised and Restated Agreement has been adopted in conformance with the procedures of the
Development Agreement Statute set forth in Government Code §§ 65865, et seq.

4,000 square feet each. As used in this Agreement, the term "building pad" means the total ground
floor area of any individual building constructed on the Property.
4.3.2.1 There is no limitation on the number of uses that may occupy less
than 4,000 square feet in Phase 1B.
4.3.3 Transfer of Development Rights. The Developer shall have the right to
transfer floor area between parcels that are created within Area A as a part of the Project Approvals
so long as no parcel exceeds a floor area ratio of 0.6:1. Such transfers of floor area shall be
recorded against the properties involved in the transfer of floor area in accordance with the
requirements of the C-4 Zoning. The Planning and Building Safety Director or designee must
review the application for transfer of floor area to ensure conformity with the requirements of this
Section 4.3.3. This review shall not be subject to a public hearing process. Transfer of floor area

W
are consistent with the Development Standards, Applicable Rules and Project Approvals. The City
shall not unreasonably withhold or delay approval of any Minor Modification. The City shall have
the right to impose reasonable conditions in connection with Minor Modifications, provided,
however, such conditions shall not (a) be inconsistent with the Applicable Rules, the Project
Approvals or with the development of the Project as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) directly
or indirectly, unreasonably hinder, delay, impede, obstruct, interfere with, or place unreasonably
burdensome or restrictive measures or requirements upon development of the Project or the
Property or any portion thereof, or (c) impose additional dedications, infrastructure or public
improvement obligations, fees, or exactions in excess of those identified in the Applicable Rules,
the Project Approvals, or this Agreement.
5.4.2 Modification of Proiect Annrovals. It is contemplated by City and Developer
that Developer may, from time to time, pursuant to Section 5.4.1 seek amendments to one or more
of the Project Approvals. Any such amendments are contemplated by City and Developer as being
within the scope of this Agreement as long as they are authorized pursuant to this Section 5.4.2
and shall, upon approval by City, continue to constitute the Project Approvals as referenced herein.
The Parties agree that any such amendments shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement
nor require an amendment to this Agreement.
5.4.3 Modifications Requiring Amendment to this Agreement. Any proposed
modification to the Project which results in any of the following shall not constitute a Minor
Modification but rather shall constitute a Major Modification and shall instead require an
amendment to this Agreement pursuant to Section 15 below:
(a) Any decrease in the required building setbacks as set forth in the C-

reasonable satisfaction of the City's Planning and Building Safety Director that identifies potential
impacts and proposes feasible mitigation measures to mitigate such impacts and otherwise
complies with CEQA;
(h) Any change in use to a use which is not permitted under this
Agreement;
(i) Any deviation from the uses and development standards or

trash enclosures and screening and landscaping shall be reviewed and approved by the City
Planning and Building Safety Director prior to issuance of a building permit; provided however,
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Applicable Rules, the sole purpose
of such review shall be to verify consistency with the Development Standards, Applicable Rules
and Project Approvals. The City Planning and Building Safety Director shall approve all features
which are consistent with the Development Standards, Applicable Rules or Project Approvals or
are otherwise specifically approved by this Agreement and shall have no authority to disapprove
or conditionally approve any features or matters which are consistent with or otherwise have been
specifically approved by the Agreement.
5.6 Timine of Development. In Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (Pardee),
37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), the California Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties therein to
provide for the timing or rate of development resulted in a later -adopted initiative restricting the
rate of development to prevail against the parties' agreement. City and Developer intend to avoid
the result in Pardee by acknowledging and providing that Developer shall have the right, without
obligation, to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and times as Developer deems
appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment subject to the terms of this
Agreement.
In furtherance of the Parties' intent, as set forth in this Section, no future
amendment of any existing City ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any ordinance,
resolution or other action, that purports to limit the rate or timing of development over time or alter
the sequencing of development phases, whether adopted or imposed by the City Council or through
the initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the Property. However, noting in this Section
shall be construed to limit City's right to enforce Developer's obligation pursuant to this
Agreement to provide all infrastructure required by the project Approvals and this Agreement.
5.7 Term. This Agreement shall be in effect for a period of 20 years from the Effective
Date of the Enabling Ordinance. However, Developer or City shall be entitled to, by written notice
to the other Party prior to the Agreement's expiration, one (1) five (5) -year extension, provided
that the requesting Party is not in material default of its obligations hereunder at such time.
5.8 Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit, final inspection or Certificate of
Occupancy will be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed from the Developer if all
infrastructure required to serve the portion of the Property covered by the building permit, final
inspection or Certificate of Occupancy is in place or is suitably guaranteed to be completed (by
covenant, bond, letter of credit or otherwise) to the reasonable satisfaction of the City prior to
completion of construction and all of the other relevant provisions of the Project Approvals, Future
approvals and this Agreement have been satisfied.
5.9 Satisfaction of Mitigation Wasures and Conditions. In the event that any of the
mitigation measures or conditions required of Developer hereunder have been implemented by
others, Developer shall be conclusively deemed to have satisfied such mitigation measures or
conditions, consistent with CEQA. If any such mitigation measures or conditions are rejected by
a governmental agency with jurisdiction, the Developer may implement reasonably equivalent
substitute mitigation, consistent with CEQA, to the City's satisfaction, in lieu of the rejected
mitigation measures or conditions. Such substitution shall be deemed to be a Minor Modification
pursuant to Section 5.4.1 above.
5.10 Moratorium. The City shall not impose a moratorium on the Property unless such
is necessary to protect a significant threat to the health, safety and welfare of the City.
5.11 Performance of Citv Planning- and Building Safetv Director Duties. If the City
determines at any time during the term of this Agreement that the duties to be performed by the
City Planning and Building Safety Director under this Agreement will be performed by one or
more staff members other than the Planning and Building Safety Director, the City shall endeavor
to notify the Developer of such change. The City shall ensure that a person or persons are
designated at all times to carry out the duties of the Planning and Building Safety Director set forth
in this Agreement.
6. Developer Agreements.
6.1 General. The Developer shall comply with (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Project
Approvals, including without limitation all mitigation measures required by the determination
made pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, and (iii) all Future Approvals for
which it is the applicant or a successor in interest to the applicant.
6.2 Develonment Fees. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 above, Developer shall
pay the development fees in effect at such time that building permits are issued for the Project.
The Developer shall be entitled to credits against the City's traffic mitigation fees to the extent off-
site traffic improvements that are required by the Project Approvals are included in any subsequent
10
45
traffic fee mitigation program adopted by the City pursuant to Government Code Section 66000 et
seq. Such credits shall be based upon the actual audited costs and shall only be granted to the
extent such improvements are constructed in accordance with all applicable state and local laws.
The Developer waives any and all rights it may have to challenge development fees that are
currently applicable to development within the City and the City's right to amend its current
development fees and/or impose additional development fees. However, the Developer retains the
legal right to challenge the amount of any such amended or increased development fees to the
extent such are not in compliance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66000 et
seq. as well as its right to receive credits against such amended or increased fees.
6.3 Maintenance Obligations. The Developer shall maintain all portions of the
Property in its possession or control, and any improvements thereon, in a first class clean, neat and

Project Approvals shall be extended for a period of time through the scheduled termination date
of this Agreement as set forth in Section 5.7 above.
6.5 Sales and Use Tax.
(a) In the event the contract price for any work on the Project is valued at five
million dollars ($5,000,000,000) or more, Developer agrees to report, on a State Board of
Equalization Tax Return, any purchases of tangible personal property made in connection with the
finishing of and/or installation of materials, or fixtures for the Project, when such purchases were
made without sales or use tax due. Developer shall indicate the City as a registered job site location
on the State Board of Equalization Tax Return. In such event, Developer shall also obtain a permit
or a sub -permit from the State board of Equalization indicating the City as the registered job site
location, in accordance with State Board of Equalization Operations Memorandum No. 1023.
(b) Developer further agrees that if Developer retains contractors or
subcontractors to perform a portion of work in the Project, and said contracts or subcontracts are
valued at five million dollars ($5,000,000) or more, said contracts or subcontracts shall contain the
provisions set forth in Subsection (a) above.
(c) The Director of Finance of the City is authorized to relieve Developer, and
Developer's contractors and subcontractors, from the requirements set forth in this Section 6.5
upon proof to the reasonable satisfaction of the Director of Finance that Developer and/or its
contractors or subcontractors have made good faith efforts to obtain said permit or sub -permits,
but were denied the same by the State Board of Equalization.
6.6 Future Construction Activities. Future development in the C-4 Zone will likely
involve the construction of significant public infrastructure improvements (including, without
limitation, public roadways and utilities). The Developer, owners and occupants of the Property
11
are hereby on notice that such construction activities may result in reduced access to the Property
and other temporary physical and financial negative impacts to the Property and the uses thereon
due to traffic re-routing, noise, dust, vibration and other normal and temporary construction related
impacts. Developer and owners of the Property agree not to file any claims or legal or equitable
actions against the City, or against other developers in the C-4 Zone, relating to, or arising from,
temporary negative impacts associated with the construction of public improvements; nor shall
Developer or the owners of the Property seek to enjoin the construction activities or seek damages
based upon or arising out of alleged or actual temporary business interruption to or temporary
business financial losses incurred by the Developer, owners or occupants of the Property. The
Developer and owners of the Property agree to include a similar provision in all future leases, or
future amendments to current leases and the City shall be listed as a third -party beneficiary to such
provision. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect
for a period of 30 years from the effective date of this Agreement.
6.7 Park Place Extension. The Second Amendment to the Original Development
Agreement contained provisions which provided as follows:
6.7.1 Park Place Extension Requirement. Concurrently with the City's approval
of the original Project Approvals, the City also redesignated and rezoned the Other C-4 Property
with a "Commercial Center (C-4)" land use and zoning designation. In connection with the
development of the Other C-4 Property, Developer has acknowledged that, as an integral part of
being permitted to fully develop the Other C-4 Property, Park Place (a four -lane east -west street)
will be required to be extended from its existing terminus at Nash Street to connect with Park Place
in Area A (the "Park Place Extension"). To affirm Developer's commitment to develop Park Place
as an integral part of the development of the Other C-4 Property if Developer or an affiliate
acquires and develops substantially all of the Other C-4 Property, City has requested and
Developer has agreed that as Developer, or any affiliate of Developer, acquires portions of the
Other C-4 Property, to the extent such acquired portions of the Other C-4 Property include
segments of the right-of-way for the Park Place Extension (the "Park Place Segments"), Developer
or its affiliate shall cause the Park Place Segments to become the subject of an irrevocable offer of
dedication to the City.
6.7.2 Park Place Extension Fundiniz. In addition to agreeing to cause the Park
Place Segments to become the subject of an irrevocable offer of dedication in accordance with the
provisions of Recital 6.7.1 above, Developer has agreed, subject to the satisfaction of the "Park
Place Extension Conditions Precedent" (as hereinafter defined) and certain other conditions (set
forth is the remainder of this section 6.7 below), to fund up to Two Million Four Hundred Eighteen
Thousand Dollars ($2,418,000) (the "Park Place Extension Fund") to City in order to permit City
to undertake the activities to extend Park Place which includes (a) that portion of the Park Place
Extension (the "Honeywell Park Place Segment") that is currently owned by Honeywell
International ("Honeywell"), (b) that portion of the Park Place Extension (the "Chevron Park Place
Segment") that is currently owned by Chevron Corporation ("Chevron") and (c) that portion of the
Park Place Extension (the "Union Pacific RR Park Place Segment") that is currently owned by the
Union Pacific Railroad. The approximate locations of the Honeywell Park Place Segment, the
Chevron Park Place Segment and the Union Pacific RR Park Place Segment are depicted on
12
47
EXHIBIT C attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. In order to secure Developer's
obligation to make the Park Place Extension Fund payment, Developer has agreed to cause
Developer's affiliate, Rosecrans -Sepulveda Partners, 4, LLC's ("RSP 4") to execute the "RSP 4
Deed of Trust" (as hereafter defined) in favor of City covering approximately 8.76 acres of the
Other C-4 Property currently owned by RSP 4 (the "RSP 4 Property"). In addition, in order to
ensure that Developer complies with its Park Place Extension Fund obligation, Developer has
agreed that a condition precedent to Developer's right to receive a Certificate of Occupancy for
any building in the Other C-4 Property shall be RSP 4's execution of the RSP 4 Deed of Trust.
6.7.3 Irrevocable Offers to Dedicate. To the extent Developer, or any affiliate of
Developer, acquires any portion of the Other C-4 Property and such acquired portion contains any
portion of the designated right-of-way for Park Place, Developer shall execute, or cause its affiliate
to execute, an irrevocable offer to dedicate such designated right-of-way portion of Park Place to
the City. As used in this Section 6.7, the term "affiliate" shall mean an entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the entity to which the term applies, whether by
ownership, contract or voting control. In addition, the term "affiliate" shall mean any entity that
was a member of RSP 2, which was a predecessor in interest to Developer ("Member"), which
Members included Mar El Segundo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, CCA Sepulveda,
LLC, a California limited liability corporation, Continental Rosecrans -Sepulveda, Inc., a
California corporation, Daniel Romano, an individual, and any affiliate of any Member. The term

of the Honeywell, Chevron and/or Union Pacific RR Segments, any funds remaining shall be paid
to City by Developer within thirty (30) days of Developer's receipt of a written request from City
confirming the award of a construction contract to extend Park Place; provided, however, to the
extent Developer, or any affiliate of Developer, from time to time, acquires all or any portion of
the Honeywell, Chevron and/or Union Pacific RR Segments, the Park Place Extension Fund shall
be reduced by an amount equal to $30 multiplied by the total number of square feet in the

Agreement interpretations and agrees, upon request, from time to time, to meet with the Developer
and representatives of such lender(s) to provide within a reasonable time period the City's response
to such requested interpretations. The City will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such
requested interpretation, provided that such interpretation is consistent with the intent and purposes
of this Agreement. Any Mortgagee of a mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed of trust or any
successor or assign thereof, including without limitation the purchaser at a judicial or non judicial
foreclosure sale or a person or entity who obtains title by deed -in -lieu of foreclosure on the

12.1 Mortgage Not Rendered Invalid. Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach
of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the priority of the lien of any
mortgage or deed of trust on the Property made in good faith and for value. No Mortgagee shall
have an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform the Developer's obligations, or to
guarantee such performance, prior to taking title to all or a portion of the Property.
12.2 Reauest for Notice to Mortgagee. The Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust

12.3 Mortgagee's Time to Cure. The city shall provide a copy of any Notice of
Violation to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of sending the Notice of Violation to the
Developer. The Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default for

if such default shall be a default which can only be remedied by such Mortgagee obtaining
possession of a Property, or any portion thereof, and such Mortgagee seeks to obtain possession,
such Mortgagee shall have until thirty (30) days after the date of obtaining such possession to cure
or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such period, to commence to cure such default,
provided that such default is cured no later than one (1) year after Mortgagee obtains such
possession.
12.4 Cure Rights. Any Mortgagee who takes title to all of the Property, or any part
thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure,
shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the Developer under this Agreement as to the Property
or portion thereof so acquired; provided, however, in no event shall such Mortgagee be liable for
any defaults or monetary obligations of the Developer arising prior to acquisition of title to the
Property by such Mortgagee, except that any such Mortgagee shall not be entitled to a building
permit or occupancy certificate until all delinquent and current fees and other monetary or non -
monetary obligations due under this Agreement for the Property, or portion thereof acquired by
such Mortgagee, have been satisfied.
12.5 Bankruptcy. If any Mortgagee is prohibited from commencing or prosecuting
foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature of foreclosure by any process or
injunction issued by any court or by reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction of any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving the Developer, the times specified in Section 12.3
above shall be extended for the period of the prohibition, except that any such extension shall not
extend the term of this Agreement.
12.6 Disaffirmation. If this Agreement is terminated as to any portion of the Property
by reason of (i) any default or (ii) as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement is
disaffirmed by a receiver, liquidator, or trustee for the Developer or its property, the City, if
requested by any Mortgagee, shall negotiate in good faith with such Mortgagee for a new
19
54
development agreement for the Project as to such portion of the Property with the most senior
Mortgagee requesting such new agreement. This Agreement does not require any Mortgagee or
the City to enter into a new development agreement pursuant to this Section.

written notice to City and City may deliver written notice to the Developer requesting that such
Party certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party (i) this Agreement is in full

or if amended, the identity of each amendment, and (iii) the requesting Party is not in breach of
this Agreement, or if in breach, a description of each such breach. The Party receiving such a
request shall execute and return the certificate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the
notice. The failure of the City to deliver such a written notice within such time shall constitute a
conclusive presumption against the City that, except as may be represented by the Developer, this
Agreement is in full force and effect without modification, and that there are no uncured defaults
in the performance of the Developer. The City Planning and Building Safety Director shall be
authorized to execute, on behalf of the City, any Estoppel Certificate requested by the Developer.

not seek judicial review of any staff decision without first having exhausted its remedies pursuant
to this Section. Final determinations by the City Council are subject to judicial review subject to
the restrictions and limitations of California law.

Agreement, City and Developer agree that such clarifications are necessary or appropriate, they
shall effectuate such clarification through operating memoranda approved in writing by City and
Developer, which, after execution, shall be attached hereto and become part of this Agreement and
the same may be further clarified from time to time as necessary with future written approval by
City and the Developer. Operating Memoranda are not intended to and shall not constitute an
amendment to this Agreement but are mere ministerial clarifications, therefore public notices and
hearings shall not be required. The City Attorney shall be authorized, upon consultation with, and
approval of, the Developer, to determine whether a requested clarification may be effectuated
pursuant to this Section or whether the requested clarification is of such character to constitute an
amendment hereof which requires compliance with the provisions of Section 15 below. The
authority to enter into such operating memoranda is hereby delegated to the City Planning and
20
6�7
Building Safety Director, and the City Planning and Building Safety Director is hereby authorized
to execute any operating memoranda hereunder without further City Council action.
14.3 Certificate of Performance. Upon the completion of the Project, or the completion
of development of any parcel within the Project, or upon completion of performance of this

CITY OF
E L S E GU N D O City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: November 17, 2020
Agenda Heading: Public Hearing
TITLE:
Amend Development Agreement No. DA 03-01 (8th Amendment) and conditions of
approval for the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point development project to increase the
allowed percentage of non -sales tax generating uses to 40 percent.
[Case numbers: Environmental Assessment No. EA -1279 and Development Agreement
No. DA 20-0]
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Conduct a public hearing.
2. Take testimony and other evidence as presented.
3. Adopt a resolution amending the conditions of approval for the Plaza EI Segundo and
The Point development project to increase the allowed percentage of non -sales tax
generating uses to 40 percent.
4. Introduce, waive the first reading, and place on the December 1, 2020 agenda for
adoption an ordinance to amend Development Agreement DA 03-01 to increase the
allowed percentage of non -sales tax generating uses to 40 percent.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Potential for a reduction in sales tax generated from the subject property that may be
somewhat offset by an increase in the Business license Tax generated. If building
improvements are made to attract and accommodate nonretail tenants, this could have a
positive impact on the assessed value of the property and result in an increase in the
property tax received for the subject property.
BACKGROUND:
The project site is the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point shopping centers originally
approved in 2005 (See Exhibit No. 1 — Vicinity Map). The two centers include a total of
501,000 square feet of building area, which is primarily occupied by retail and restaurant
uses, as well as some service, office and fitness uses. The current approved entitlements
for the site limit Non -Sales Tax Generating Uses to a maximum of 20% of the building
area at Plaza EI Segundo and 35% at The Point. The applicant, Street Retail, Inc., has
requested an amendment the project Development Agreement and conditions of approval
to increase the maximum percentage of Non -Sales Tax Generating Uses to 40% for both
Plaza El Segundo and The Point.

Plaza EI Segundo and The Point were originally approved as retail centers that would
generate sales tax revenue for the City and diversify its revenue sources. The permitted
uses at the centers reflected this intent, in that they included primarily retail uses. Other
uses, such as banks, offices, and fitness centers that do not generate sales tax revenue
were strictly limited or prohibited.
Since the original approval in 2005, the retail sector of the economy has evolved, with
internet sales taking a larger proportion of overall sales. As a result, the property owner
approached the City in 2017 and requested changes to the project entitlements to permit
more non -retail uses at the shopping centers and, thus, give the property owner more
flexibility in filling vacant tenant spaces. The City Council approved code changes, which
revised the permitted uses in the C-4 zone where the shopping centers are located to
include office and other non -retail uses. In return for granting this flexibility, and in order
to maintain sales tax revenue, the City imposed a maximum limits on non -sales tax
generating uses, which are 20% at Plaza EI Segundo and 35% at The Point.
Since 2017, the retail sector has continued to weaken, as internet sales continue to grow
as a proportion of overall sales. Furthermore, this year the COVID-19 pandemic and the
related economic crisis have exacerbated the retail sector's problems. So, the applicant
approached the City again with the current request to modify the limits on non -sales tax
generating uses at the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point shopping centers.

Since 2017, the retail sector has continued to weaken, as internet sales continue to grow
as a proportion of overall sales. Furthermore, this year the COVID-19 pandemic and the
related economic crisis have exacerbated the retail sector's problems. So, the applicant
approached the City again with the current request to modify the limits on non -sales tax
generating uses at the Plaza EI Segundo and The Point shopping centers.

DISCUSSION:
Conditions at the Shopgino Centers
As of February 2020, the vacancy rate at Plaza EI Segundo is 6.9% and at The Point it is
4.3%. At Plaza EI Segundo, vacancies have primarily affected the two smaller areas of
the center, The Works and The Collection (see Figure No. 1). At The Point, some tenant
spaces have remained vacant since its original construction in 2014. In addition, the
applicant has indicated to the City that sorne current tenants have had difficulties in
making their lease payments. And, this situation has been exacerbated by the COVID-
19 related economic downturn.
In spite of these trends, the applicant has invested energy and money into repositioning
the center. Last year, the applicant completed construction on some major physical
improvements in the area called The Works. The improvements included new
landscaping, hardscape, pedestrian and building facade improvements. In the Collection,
the applicant is currently completing tenant improvements to convert one of the multi -
tenant retail buildings into a single -tenant office building. The improvements also include
the addition of substantial outdoor gathering space and landscaping for the future office
tenants.
In addition to the above physical improvements and conversion of retail space into office,
the shopping centers remain primarily retail in nature and the applicant has attracted
significant retail tenants in the last few years, such as Nordstrom Rack and Ulta.
Aoolicant's Fiscal and Economic Analysis
In support of the request to change the use mix at the shopping centers, the applicant
submitted a fiscal impact & economic benefit analysis report prepared by Kosmont
Companies in 2019 (Exhibit No. 7). The report discusses the recent local and national
market trends in the retail sector. In EI Segundo, since the "Great Recession" a decade
ago the retail sector has seen slow growth and the City's sales tax revenues have
decreased from $12.8 million in 2008 to $10.6 million in 2018. Nationally, the retail market
has been affected significantly by the growth of the digital economy and e -Commerce,
with digital retail sales displacing brick and mortar retail sales. Specifically, in 2000 online
sales comprised 0.8% of the total retail sales market. By 2018, 9.7% of all retail sales
were conducted online. This steady growth pattern is projected by economists to continue
in the years ahead. As a result, the rate of retail store closures will continue to increase
and, thus, property owners (including shopping centers) will find it increasingly difficult to
fill vacant tenant spaces.
In response to this decline in demand for traditional retail, shopping centers have shifted
their approach and have increasingly sought to diversify their tenants and improve the
customers' experience. Research has shown that customers no longer view stores as a
place to only buy merchandise. Rather, they view stores and shopping centers as a
"place" where they can have an experience. Therefore, modern retailers seek to:
131
108
Plaza EI Segundo Development Agreement
November 17, 2020
Page 4of5
Present an integrated shopping environment in a diverse setting (such as office,
work, transit, or residential nearby);
Embrace omni -channeling by developing both a digital and a physical presence;
• Redefine platforms from simply selling goods to solving customers' problems.
Many malls are redeveloping to achieve the above objectives and the Kosmont report
discusses several redevelopment examples, such as the Westside Pavillion, the Baldwin
Hills Crenshaw Plaza, and others.
Citv's Peer Review
City staff engaged Keyser Marston and Associates (KMA) to peer review the Kosmont
analysis, and KMA largely confirmed and agreed with the analysis summarized above.
In fact, the City has been aware of the local and national retail trends, as well as the move
toward mixed-use retail centers, or "lifestyle centers" as they are also called. The
previous development agreement amendment in 2017, was approved primarily due to the
above market trends. However, the percentage restriction on non -sales tax generating
uses is still hampering the applicant's ability to find viable tenants and provide an
appropriate mix of uses at the subject shopping centers.
Plannina Commission Discussion
On October 22, 2020, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
amendments. During the discussion the Commissioners asked how the City's revenues
might be impacted by the proposed amendments. Staff responded that some loss of
sales tax revenue may occur, but it would be partly offset by an increase in business tax
revenue from the anticipated office tenants that would replace existing underperforming
retail tenants. In addition, employees of the new office tenants would support the
remaining retail and restaurant businesses and, thus, help generate additional retail sales
and the associated tax revenue for the City. The applicant added that demand for retail
space has been weakening, particularly due to the ongoing growth of internet sales and
the COVID-19 outbreak earlier this year, but demand for certain types of office space has
remained relatively strong. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning
Commission voted 4-0 to adopt Resolution No. 2888 (Exhibit No. 6) recommending City
Council approval of the proposed amendments.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) COMPLIANCE:
The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Title 14 California Code of Regulations § 15061(b)(3) —
the common sense exemption as it can be seen with certainty that there will not be an
impact, because no substantial construction and no addition of building area is being
proposed. The proposed change to the mix of uses will maintain the total daily and peak
AM and PM traffic trips generated by the shopping center below the levels estimated

previously; and no other impact areas should be affected; and CEQA Guidelines § 15305
— the Class 5 exemption for minor alterations in land use limitations as office and other
non -retail uses are already allowed in the C-4 zone and the only change involves the ratio
of office and other non -retail uses to retail uses.

CITY OF
E L S E GU N D O City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: December 1, 2020
Agenda Heading:Ad Hoc Pension Committee Report
TITLE:
Ad Hoc Pension Committee Update Report & Authorization to Begin Process to Issue
Pension Obligation Bonds for Long -Term CaIPERS Pension Liabilities.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive Ad Hoc Pension Committee Update Report on the following:
• Use of Pension Obligation Bonds as a method to reduce future recurring costs
■ Ability to exit CalPERS pension system and pursue alternative retirement options
• Current funding status of City's Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB)
2. Direct staff to begin process to issue Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs) at 95% of the
CalPERS Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) at time of issuance in order to maximize
the present value savings to take advantage of historically low interest rates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Issuance of POBs to pay down the current UAL of $151,300,000 is estimated to save
the City approximately $55,000,000 (present value) in pension amortization cash
payments over the next 20 years, with an average recurring annual savings of
$2,750,000. Approximately 95% of recurring savings will take place within the General
Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Reconstituted Ad Hoc Pension Committee
At its July 22, 2020 Strategic Planning Study Session, City Council appointed Mayor Pro
Team Chris Pimentel and Councilmember Scot Nicol to serve on the Ad Hoc Pension
Committee to review the City's pension obligations, including conducting a review of the
City's ability to exit CalPERS pension system and use of alternative retirement options.
Since that time, the Committee has meet four times on September 21, October 14,
November 16, and November 23. Other attendees in these meetings included City
Treasurer Matthew Robinson, City Manager Scott Mitnick, Chief Financial Officer Joe
Lillio, and KNN Public Finance Municipal Advisor Mark Young.

Pension Obliaation Bonds (POBs)
Most of the Committee's work to date has focused on issuing POBs as a mechanism to
significantly reduce the City's recurring pension costs, saving approximately $55,000,000
over the next 20 years. The bulk of rest of this report is dedicated to this effort.
Alternative Retirement Options
In early November, the City hired the actuarial services consulting firm of Bartel
Associates, LLC to conduct an analysis of the City's ability to review the financial
considerations associated with the potential option of withdrawing from the f CalPERS
pension system and to pursue alternative retirement options. This firm has begun its
analysis and will issue a report within the next month. Once completed, this report will be
reviewed by the Committee and then shared with the full City Council. This report will be
for information purposes as any change in the City's retirement/pension plan would be
subject to negotiation with the City's represented employees.
Other Post-Emplovment Benefits (OPEB)
The Committee has also done a cursory review of the funding status of the City's OPEB
(primarily retiree medical insurance benefits). The findings of this review are provided in
the discussion section below.
DISCUSSION:
Use of Pension Obliaation Bonds (POBs) to Reduce Citv's Recurring Retirement Costs.
Defined Benefit Retirement Pension Plan:
The City provides retirement benefits by contracting with the California Public
Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS). CalPERS offers a defined benefit plan
where retirement benefits are based on a formula which takes into consideration
employee years of service, age at retirement, and final compensation (which is
determined by an employee's average salary, excluding overtime, for a defined period of
employment). Retirement formulas for employee groups vary based on classification
(Miscellaneous [non -sworn] or Safety [sworn police and fire]), and within these groups,
by date of entering CalPERS membership category ("Classic" for those who entered
on or before December 31, 2012 or "PEPRA" for those who entered on or after
January 1, 2013).
CalPERS Retirement benefits are funded by contributions from both employees and the
City, as well as investment earnings. CalPERS invests contribution payments with the
goal of earning sufficient returns over the long-term to pay defined benefits as promised
and cover CalPERS expenses. When investment earnings do not meet expectations
over extended periods, the funded status of the entire retirement system is at risk with
all member agencies sharing the burden.
114
Ad-hoc Pension Committee Update Report
December 1, 2020

City's Pension Plan "Unfunded Actuarial Liability" (UAL):
CaIPERS actuaries perform annual evaluations of each plan to determine the accrued
actuarial liability (i.e., defined benefits that will be owed in the future to all active
employees, as well as existing retirees) for each member agency. The accrued actuarial
liability is determined by discounting future benefits payable using a rate equal to the
expected long-term earnings rate of CaIPERS investments (also referred to as the
discount rate), currently at 7.0%. The discount rate signifies CaIPERS' assumed return
on investments and is used by CaIPERS actuaries to calculate the UAL (described
below). In the event that CaIPERS reduces the current discount rate, all agencies in
CaIPERS will be impacted by a one-time adjustment which will result in higher liabilities
and, consequently, additional required payment contributions on those liabilities.
However, going forward, a lower discount rate will bring greater long-term stability and
certainty to the CaIPERS investment portfolio.
The funded status of the plan is determined by the difference between the accumulated
financial assets of the plan (fiduciary position) and the accrued actuarial liability. If the
fiduciary position is less than the accrued actuarial liability, the plan is underfunded, and
an Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) exists. The UAL is pension debt the City owes to
CaIPERS on behalf of existing retirees and active employees. CaIPERS is assessing the
City an interest rate of 7.0% (current discount rate) on the UAL. Employers have the
responsibility to pay down their UAL by increasing contributions to CaIPERS since the
accrued benefits earned by an active employee/current retiree may not be reduced per
California law.
Similar to bonded debt or a home loan mortgage, the UAL is "amortized" (i.e., gradually
reduced or paid off with regular payments covering both principal and interest) over a
period of time. To calculate the interest cost of the City gradually paying down its
outstanding UAL of $151,300,000, the UAL is multiplied by the discount rate. At the
current discount rate of 7.0%, the implicit interest cost in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-2021 is
roughly $10,600,000. By accelerating payments to CaIPERS, the City will be paying
down the principal balance of the UAL, thereby saving on future interest costs.
When CaIPERS began the process in December 2012 to reduce the discount rate
from 7.5% to 7.0% over the course of a four year period, this caused employer liabilities
to significantly increase. In response, CaIPERS implemented a "ramp up" strategy to
smooth out the increases in UAL contributions. As opposed to a fixed -level payment
schedule, CaIPERS started using a 30 -year amortization schedule where payments are
ramped up in years 1-5 and ramped down in the ending years. The ramping up in years
1-5 resulted in negative amortization for those member agencies that only pay the annual
minimum payment to CaIPERS. For agencies wanting to eliminate negative amortization,
or wanting to accelerate the payoff of their UAL, CaIPERS allows additional
discretionary payments towards the UAL at any time.
115
Ad-hoc Pension Committee Update Report

Tools to Reduce the City's Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL):
Discretionary tools available to the City to reduce its $151,300,000 UAL include:
1. Reduce the length of the amortization period with CalPERS ("fresh start")
Reducing the amortization period is permitted; however, increasing it is not. Unlike a
traditional home loan mortgage refinance, lowering the amortized years from 25 years
to 15 years will not result in a reduced interest rate. CalPERS will stili assess the
discount rate of 7.0%. However, this will save the City significant interest costs by
reducing the number of actual years being amortized.
The City previously used this tool to conduct a "fresh start" for each of the Safety Plans
(Fire & Police) as well as the Miscellaneous Plan (for the non -safety employees).
These fresh starts were implemented over FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 and were
refinanced with a 20 -year amortization versus the previous 28-30 year amortizations.
This tool has eliminated the effects of negative amortization and will save the City
approximately $7,100,000 over a 30 -year period.
2. Make additional discretionary payments toward the UAL
The City can make additional miscellaneous payments toward the UAL at any time.
This is equivalent to a homeowner making an additional payment toward his/her
mortgage loan. While the additional payment reduces the UAL, it does not reduce the
amortized years remaining. Nor does this impact the discount rate assessed on the
UAL (currently set at 7.0%).
The City has used this tool to make several additional discretionary payments (ADP)
for each of the Safety Plans (Fire & Police) as well as the Miscellaneous Plan. The
ADPs were implemented in FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19. This tool will save the City
approximately $3,750,000 over a 30 -year period.
3. Prepay the annual UAL amount up front rather than making monthly payments
CalPERS provides member agencies with a discount for prepayment of their UAL.
The UAL is the employer annual payment toward the unfunded pension liability as
measured on the actuarial valuation report issued by CalPERS each July. CalPERS
provides a discount rate in the amount of 3.5% toward the prepayment amount
resulting in immediate savings.
The City has used this tool to make annual prepayments of the UAL for each of the
Safety Plans (Fire & Police) as well as the Miscellaneous Plan. The prepayments were
implemented for FY 2017-18, FY 2018-19, FY 2019-20, and FY 2020-21. This tool
116
Ad-hoc Pension Committee Update Report
December 1, 2020
Page 5 of 11
has saved the City approximately $1,250,000 over the past four years. Using this tool
going forward will continue to save the City several hundred thousand dollars per year.
4. Set up a Pension Trust Fund to pre -fund CaIPERS UAL obligations.
IRS Section 115 allows CalPERS agencies to set up their ow Pension Trust Funds to
pre -fund future UAL obligations. Some of the benefits of using this approach include:
• Contributions placed in a benefit trust may lower the City's Net Pension Liability
Greater investment flexibility and returns compared to General Fund investments
• Increased risk diversification of plan assets through different asset management
• Investments may be tailored to the City's unique demographics
• Enhanced oversight and control of fund management, monitoring of performance,
and ability to replace fund management based on performance criteria
Increased flexibility on use of trust assets (trust assets may be accessed at any
time as long as the assets are used to fund the City's pension obligations and
defray reasonable pension plan related expenses)
• Lower investment management and administrative expenses
Positive rating agency and investor consideration
The City opened a section 115 Pension Trust Fund with Public Agency Retirement
Services (PARS) in late 2017. The first contribution was made in May of 2018. The
City has been diligently funding this Trust Fund each year since and currently has a
balance of approximately $4,500,000. These funds will be used to pay for future City
CalPERS payments.
5. Issue Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs) to reduce future recurring costs
How do POBs work?
POBs are used to reduce budgetary impacts from rising UAL contributions. A POB
is a taxable debt issuance used to pay some or all of a public agency's UAL. The
bond proceeds are deposited with CalPERS to reduce an agency's UAL. Debt service
payments for the bond issuance will then replace the agency's UAL payments that
would have been owed to CalPERS for the UAL amount that was paid off.
Issuing POBs removes an unknown, fluctuating variable cost and replaces it with a
stable, fixed payment amount. POBs should only be issued when the all -in interest
117
Ad-hoc Pension Committee Update Report
December 1, 2020
Page 6 of 11
rate of the bond issue is significantly below the actuarial rate of interest factored into
the calculation of the UAL.
What is City's Funded and Unfunded Pension Status?
As of August 2020, the funded status of all City retirement plans is estimated to be
65%. As noted above, City's Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) will be approximately
$151,300,000, as of June 30, 2021. Note that CalPERS' most recent return on
investments for FY 2019-2020 which ended on June 30, 2020 was 4.7%. This will
be factored into next year's valuation report and may have a negative impact on the
City's UAL.
While the City's past use of the four above -referenced tools have been beneficial, there
is still a large pension debt of at least $151,300,000 owed to CalPERS being assessed
an annual interest rate of 7.0%. The previous City actions over the past four years
have saved over $12,000,000, as highlighted in detail above,and established a Trust
Fund that will provide future General Fund budget relief. However, without a change
in the borrowing rate (currently 7.0%), the UAL will become increasingly financially
challenging for the City to address over the next two decades.
What would be the goals of issuing City POB?
This demand on City resources over the next 20 to 25 years will need to be balanced
with liquidity needs for ongoing City operations, community priorities, and long-term
infrastructure needs. Staff analyzed various options to reduce the City's UAL, while
preserving the City's fiscal integrity, with the following goals in mind:
■ Preserve financial flexibility to meet or maintain City service obligations while
funding pension benefit obligations.
• Consistent with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
recommendation, strive to repay or amortize unfunded pension liabilities over a
period not -to -exceed 20 years (ideally fall in the 15 to 20 year range; but, never
exceed 25 years).
■ Use shorter amortization periods to reduce interest costs and better match cost
with the work -life of plan participants (i.e., equitable allocation of cost among
generations).
• Pay at least the interest owed on the UAL to avoid negative amortization which
ultimately increases UAL and interest costs.
• Use a level dollar repayment schedule to improve the likelihood that funds will be
available to meet future payment demands. A level dollar payment plan becomes
a decreasing percentage of the annual budget over time, whereas an increasing
dollar payment plan moves in a commensurate manner with rising budgets. Level
118
Ad-hoc Pension Committee Update Report
December 1, 2020
Page 7 of 11
dollar repayment plan also helps facilitate the budget process and long-term
financial planning
What type of POBs should the City issue?
At the September 21, 2020 Committee meeting, staff was directed to research the
process and pros and cons of issuing Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs). At the
October 14, 2020 Committee meeting, staff and the City's Municipal Advisor
presented POB options involving the issuance of POB funding in the range of 90%-
95% of the City's UAL. At the November 16, 2020 Committee meeting, there was
further discussion on POBs. At this meeting, staff was directed to bring forward to
City Council the consideration of POBs with the best financing option available.
Upon further review, staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the
concept of issuing POBs at 95% of the current UAL in order to take advantage of
historically low interest rates and maximize cost savings.
Staff also contracted with Bartel Associates, LLC for actuarial services to
independently evaluate the City's UAL position under a variety of discount rates and
financial return scenarios. These different scenarios enable the City to develop a
long-term financial plan and budget depending on future anticipated outcomes. Bartel
Associates provides more updated actuarial information which is not available from
CalPERS. As mentioned earlier in this report, Bartel is also conducting an analysis for
the City associated with pulling out of CalPERS, the costs associated with this action,
and alternative retirement plan options for active employees. Pulling out of CalPERS
would not negate the City's current pension debt with CalPERS in the amount of
approximately $151,300,000. This amount will be due with or without the City pulling
out of CaIPERS. The POBs are recommended to move forward in order to effectively
address the $151,300,000 in pension debt owed to CalPERS.
Staff has also been in contact with the City's CalPERS actuary regarding the impact
of issuing POBs. Assuming POBs are issued by May 2021, CaIPERS will recalculate
the required UAL payment for FY 2021-22 that was originally calculated in the
actuarial report issued in June 2020. In addition, the City's next actuarial valuation
report will reflect the payment of bond proceeds in M a y 2021 and factor this into the
FY 2022-23 required UAL payment. The amount of the required UAL payment will
depend on the amount contributed from bond proceeds.
How much would POBs cost the City in today's market place?
The City's Municipal Advisor has estimated the City's cost of borrowing to be in the
approximate range of 2.85% to 3.05%, which is well below CalPERS' discount rate
of 7.0%. With this criterion met, the amount of the POBs is the next consideration.

How much total POBs debt should the City take out?
A prudent objective is to fund pension plans near 100% of the total accrued liability
and no less than 80%, whenever possible. For this reason, staff reviewed options
for issuing POBs at the following payoff percentages of the UAL:
• 100% = $151,300,000 for Present Value Savings of $58,000,000
■ 95% = $144,100,00 for Present Value Savings of $55,000,000
■ 90% = $136,500,000 for Present Value Savings of $52,000,000
To achieve the most savings for the City, staff recommends issuing POBs at 95% of
the current UAL. If CalPERS does not achieve its annual discount rate return of 7.0%
in any given year, an amortized investment loss will be created and the
City's UAL will increase due to the establishment of a new UAL. In the event that
CalPERS exceeds the 7.0% annual return in any given year, which may happen,
an amortized investment gain will be created and the City's UAL will be
reduced.
The possibility of CalPERS exceeding its 7% return is unclear at this time, especially
with the impact of COVID-19 on the markets. In the event that this occurs and the City
becomes over 100% funded, CalPERS will not return the excess funding to the City.
This would result in stranded assets with CaIPERS. While issuing POBs at 100% of
our UAL yields the largest theoretical savings, there is also potential risk in creating
stranding City assets by paying off more than 100% of the UAL and becoming
overfunded with CalPERS. Again, CalPERS will not return excess assets
(earnings) to a public agency if it becomes overfunded. This is a valid risk and
legitimate reason not to issue the POBs at 100% of the UAL.
How much money would the City save if it issues POBs?
If the City issues POBs near 95% of the UAL, the projected recurring budgetary
savings over the next 20 years will range from $889,000 to $4,100,000 each year
(displayed as present value). The projected average recurring annual savings is
$2,750,000. Approximately 95% of this recurring savings will benefit the General Fund.
Need for Adoption of a Formal City Pension Policy
With the issuance of POBs, the adoption of a Pension Policy is strongly
recommended to memorialize how the City intends to use the budgetary savings that
will result from the issuance of such debt. On November 23, 2020, the Committee
reviewed several policy options with the goal of making a recommendation of
a Proposed Pension Policy to City Council at its December 15, 2020 meeting.

What other California cities have issued POBs?
Several dozen cities throughout California have recently issued, or are in the process
of issuing, POBs. A sample of Southern California cities that have
recently issued POBs include: Carson, Covina, Gardena, Glendora, Montebello,
Ontario, Pasadena, and Riverside. A sample of Southern California cities that
are in the process exploring/issuing POBs include: Hawthorne, Huntington
Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Orange.
Use of Alternative Retirement Options
As noted above, an actuarial services consulting firm is conducting this analysis and a
report will be submitted to City Council in the near future.
Update on Other Post-EmolovEnent Benefits (OPEB) Savings
The City provides retiree medical for vested employees who retire from the City of EI
Segundo. This benefit is also referred to as Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB). In
general, the vesting requirement for retiree medical is employment with the City for five
years. In order to set funds aside for the OPEB benefit, the City opened a section 115
Trust account with CaIPERS in 2008. The City initially funded the OPEB Trust in the
amount of $2,425,000 in 2008. As of November 19, 2020, the balance in the OPEB Trust
is $29,176,411. This is a combination of $17,725,000 in contributions, $1,000,000 in
withdrawals, and $12,451,652 in investment earnings.
The total OPEB liability for the City is $55,862,000. With $29,176,411 prefunded in the
OPEB Trust, the OPEB unfunded liability is $26,685,589. This equates to a funded status
of 52%. About 75% of municipalities in the State of California that offer retiree medical
insurance benefits have a funded ratio of 25% or less. The City of EI Segundo is well
positioned to be fully funded for the OPEB liability by 2031.
As of the latest actuary report (dated October 2020), the City no longer needs to make
additional contributions into the OPEB Trust. The investment earnings over the next ten
years is expected to get the OPEB Trust to 100% funded status. The annual contribution
to the OPEB Trust has been $548,000 over the past several years. These are General
Fund dollars that can now be earmarked for other City Council strategic goal purposes.
Once the OPEB Trust is 100% funded, the City can begin to pull money out of the OPEB
Trust to make the monthly medical retiree premium payments. This will provide further
monetary relief the General Fund.
