WHEREAS, The El Segundo Woman's Club was organized on May 23, 1922 by Hallie Gregory and began
with only 19 members. Dues were $2.50 a year, which was a substantial amount 100 years ago.
In July 1922, members sent letters to the Los Angeles Community Development Association
asking why El Segundo was not "on the map"! Additional letters were sent to the Los Angeles
Times and the El Segundo Herald. It must have worked because El Segundo is "on the map"; and
WHEREAS, In 1931 The El Segundo Woman's Club was federated with the State, General and District
Woman's Club and continues to have a strong affiliation with the Marina board. There were
sections of the club devoted to art, literature, music, and the garden club, which was the most
successful and contributed greatly to the community. One of their most popular functions was the
"Garden Exchange." Ladies would bring seeds and plants and share them free of charge with
anyone in town who wanted them. This, of course, was to help beautify this new barren little town.
The exchange went on for many years and gained in popularity during the war years when Victory
Gardens were started, and the plants included vegetables and fruit trees. In 1935, Garden Club
members participated in the city planning for Recreation Park and joined with other city leaders to
choose the city's official flower, the Fuchsia; and
WHEREAS, In 1936, with the dream of purchasing a building built in 1912, the members agreed to borrow a
sum not to exceed $2,000 to pay for moving the structure and getting it ready for use. Men,
women, and children donated 235 days of free labor to pour the foundation, do electrical work,
plastering, plumbing, etc. All this volunteer labor resulted in the first meeting being held in the
new clubhouse in May of 1937, just six months after its purchase. Renovations for the Clubhouse
were designed by noted Los Angeles architect, John C. Austin, who donated his services, along
with his partner Frederic M. Ashley. In 1943, after many rummage sales, bridge parties, dinners,
dances, plays, and raffles, the Club paid off their mortgage; and
WHEREAS, The 1940s found the members immersed in war work. Hours were given by the members working
in the Red Cross canteen sponsoring dances for soldiers, wrapping bandages and hosting blood
banks in the clubhouse, donating blood, knitting, and raising money for war bonds and the Red
Cross; and
WHEREAS, In the 1950s, dues were raised to $5.00 a year to donate to various charities. Christmas cards
with a small donation were sent to patients at Rancho Amigo Hospital and a baby health clinic
was started to give information to new mothers concerning diet, health habits, and child/parent
relationships; and
WHEREAS, Fast forwarding to the present, the El Segundo Woman's Club continues to be a viable part of the
community. The Club continues to support the projects of other nonprofit organizations, award
scholarships, reach out to those in need, care about those less fortunate, supportwomen's rights,
and in general stay on the path that honors our country, state, city, families, and friends.
NOW, THEREFORE, on this 17 day of May, 2022, the Mayor and members of the City Council of the City of El
Segundo, California, hereby commend the El Segundo Woman's Club on its 100th Anniversary.

ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 17, 2022
Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.5
TITLE:
Allow Adults over 21 Years of Age to Bring and Consume Alcohol at Library Park on the
Days of the Summer Concerts in the Park
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Suspend El Segundo Municipal Code Section 7-6-8 to allow adults over 21 years
of age to bring and consume alcohol at Library Park on the days of the Summer
Concerts in the Park events, Sundays, June 19, June 26, July 10, July 24 and
August 7, 2022, from 3:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
FISCAL IMPACT:
BACKGROUND:
The City of El Segundo Community Services Department proudly presents an annual
series of Concerts in the Park each summer, consisting of five family -friendly concerts in
Library Park on Sunday evenings throughout June, July and August. Each event begins
at 4:OOpm with activities and food vendors and the concert begins around 4:30pm. Live
entertainment varies from music styles of tribute bands, classic rock, beach music,
oldies, and other popular decades and genres. Bands typically play two 45-minute sets
and conclude around 6:30pm.
DISCUSSION:
Many of the concert goers walk to the event from the adjacent neighborhoods and many
families come early to enjoy games and picnics at the park. El Segundo Municipal Code
Section 7-6-8 states that it is unlawful to drink any alcoholic beverage or possess an
open container of any alcoholic beverage upon any public street, alley, sidewalk,
pathway, parking lot, park, beach, or other public property. The California Business and
Professions Code Section 25620(a) also prohibits the possession of an open container.
Page 34 of 168
Summer Concerts in the Park
May 17, 2022
Page 2 of 2
However, the City can take action to enact an exception within the code which states
"this section does not apply where the possession is within the premises located in a
park or other public place for which a license has been issued." Consumption is allowed
under State law if the municipal code is suspended. Municipal Code Section 7-6-8 was
suspended for Summer Concerts in the Park in 2019 and 2021. City staff have not
experienced any negative incidents allowing alcohol consumption at Concerts in the
Park. Staff respectfully request that the municipal code be suspended for the 2022
concert series as it was in 2019 and 2021.
Should any adverse incident occur, City staff would recommend the appropriate liability
insurance coverage that is in place. It is also recommended that proper police personnel
are assigned at each event.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 1: Enhance Customer Service, Engagement, and Communication; Embrace
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Objective 1 B: El Segundo's engagement with the community ensures excellence.
Goal 2: Support Community Safety and Preparedness
Objective: El Segundo is a safe and prepared city.

Empire Pipe Cleaning and Equipment, Inc. for Closed Circuit Television Inspection of
Sanitary Sewer Collection System Project
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Faze 1 Corporation DBA Premier Pipe, Inc.'s relief from its bid due to

Page 2 of 4
DISCUSSION:
On February 15, 2022, the City Clerk received and opened six bids as follows-
1 . Faze 1 Corporation DBA Premier Pipe (Premier Pipe) - $254,893.70
2. Empire Pipe Cleaning and Equipment, Inc. (Empire Pipe) - $388,424.30
3. National Plant Services, Inc. - $391,345.57
4. Pipe Tec, Inc. - $396,118.23
5. Pro -Pipe, Inc. - $412,326.12
6. DownStream - $494,247.15
On February 17, 2022, Faze 1 Corporation DBA Premier Pipe, Inc. (Premier Pipe)
submitted a written request to withdraw their bid without their bid bond. Under the
California Relief of Bidders statutes for bid withdrawal after the submission deadline
(Public Contract Code, § 5100 et seq.), a bidder may withdraw without affecting its bid
bond if the following statutory requirements are met:
1. A mistake was made
2. The bidder provided written notice to the public entity within five working days of
the bid opening
3. The mistake made the bid materially different than intended; and
4. A mistake was made in filling out the bid
State courts, including the California Supreme Court, have found clerical and
typographical errors are the types typically eligible for relief under these statutes. M.F.
Kemper Construction Company v. City of Los Angeles(1951) 37 Cal.2d 696. "Under the
statutes for relief of bidders on public contracts, the only mistakes which could release
from its bid are typographical or arithmetical errors. Menefee v. County of Fresno (1985)
163 Cal.App.3d 1175, 1181.
Under the statutes for relief of bidders on public contracts, the only mistakes which
could release Brewer-Kalar from its bid are typographical or arithmetical errors.
Menefee v. Cnty. of Fresno, 163 Cal. App. 3d 1175, 1181, 210 Cal. Rptr. 99, 102 (Ct.
App. 1985)
Under the statutes for relief of bidders on public contracts, the only mistakes which
could release Brewer-Kalar from its bid are typographical or arithmetical errors.
Menefee v. Cnty. of Fresno, 163 Cal. App. 3d 1175, 1181, 210 Cal. Rptr. 99, 102 (Ct.
App. 1985)
In its duly submitted withdrawal letter to the City, Premier Pipe cited clerical mistakes
and entering wrong unit prices for several items that made the bid materially different
than the contractor intended it to be. On April 20, 2022, Premier Pipe sent another letter
Page 41 of 168
Sewer Closed Circuit Television Inspection Project
May 17, 2022
Page 3 of 4
stating they would like to void their withdrawal request and move forward with the
project. On April 28, 2022, Lanak & Hanna, Premiere Pipe's counsel, sent another letter
and requested that Premier Pipe be relieved of its bid without forfeiting its bid bond.
Copies of all letters are included with this staff report.
Staff consulted with the City Attorney's Office on the requests made by Premier Pipe
and its counsel and made a determination regarding Premier Pipe's meeting the
requirements of Public Contract Code Section 5100 et seq. (Section 5103's
requirements are shown below in italicized font, with staff's determinations immediately
below them.)
The bidder shall establish to the satisfaction of the court that:
(a) A mistake was made.
Premier Pipe stated it made mistakes entering unit prices on the bid form for 9 of the 12
bid items. Unit prices for Bid Item 2 and Bid Items 4-10 were mistakenly entered as
$0.97 per foot rather than $1.55 per foot. The unit price for Bid Item 3 was mistakenly
entered as $0.85 instead of $1.15 per foot.
(b) He or she gave the public entity written notice within five working days, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays, after the opening of the bids of the mistake,
specifying in the notice in detail how the mistake occurred.
Premier Pipe's written withdrawal request arrived within two working days of the bid
opening date of February 15, 2022, within the five -working -day requirement.
(c) The mistake made the bid materially different than he or she intended it to be.
Premier Pipe's bid would have been $362,223.30 with the correct unit prices, thus
making their $254,893.74 bid materially different from what they intended it to be.
(d) The mistake was made in filling out the bid and not due to error in judgment or to
carelessness in inspecting the site of the work, or in reading the plans or specifications.
Premier Pipe's mistakes were made with respect to filling out the bid form.
Premier Pipe appears to have satisfied Section 5103's requirements for withdrawal of
their bid. To move forward with the project with a willing contractor and without further
delay, staff recommends that the City Council approves withdrawal of Premier Pipe's
bid and award the project to the next lowest responsible bidder, Empire Pipe Cleaning
and Equipment, Inc.
If the City Council denies Premier Pipe's request for withdrawal, Premier Pipe would be
authorized to initiate litigation against the City to recover any amounts forfeited due to
Page 42 of 168
Sewer Closed Circuit Television Inspection Project
May 17, 2022
Page 4 of 4
such denial.
Staff contacted the apparent second lowest bidder's references. The state license and
DIR registration of Empire Pipe Cleaning and Equipment, Inc. are in good standing.
They have satisfactorily completed sanitary sewer cleaning CCTV projects for the cities
of Santa Barbara, Cerritos, La Palma, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach.
At this time, staff recommends that the City Council approves the recommended actions
as noted. With the City Council's authorization, the anticipated schedule for this project
is as follows:
May 2022: Contract Award
July 2022: Begin CCTV Inspection
September 2022: Project Completion
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 4: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology
Objective 4A: El Segundo's physical infrastructure supports an appealing, safe and

RE: Faze 1 Corp. dba Premier Pipe Withdrawal of Bid
PW 21-12 Sewer Main CCTV Inspection Project
Dear Ms. Rivera:
Colin K. McCarthy
Attorney at Law
ckmccarthy@lanak-hanna.com
File No. 28720
We represent Faze 1 Corp. dba Premier Pipe ("Premier Pipe") in connection with its request to be
relieved of its bid ("Bid") on the City of El Segundo— PW 21-12 Sewer Main CCTV Inspection
Project ("Project") because of a clerical mistake made on its Bid. We write in response to your
March 17, 2022 letter and April emails related to Premier Pipe's forfeiture of its bid bond on the
Project. Your reliance on the specifications of the contract for the position that Premier Pipe
automatically forfeits its bond if it withdraws its bid is incorrect. Premier Pipe is entitled to be
relieved of its Bid pursuant to Public Contracts Code § 5103, without impact on bid security.
I. SUMMARY OF FACTS
As you know, on February 15, 2022, the bids were opened. On February 17, 2022, Premier Pipe sent
the City a letter requesting Premier Pipe be relieved of its Bid because of a clerical error in Premier
Pipe's bid. Specifically, the letter explains that Bid Item Number 3 was mistakenly entered as .85 per
foot, whereas it should have been 1.15 per foot. Similarly, Bid Items 2 & 4-10 were mistakenly
entered at 0.97 per foot, whereas it should have been 1.55 per foot. Consequently, our bid is
substantially lower than the intended amount. A copy of the Premier Pipe's February 17, 2022, letter
is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. This clerical error is further supported by Premier Pipe's bid
worksheet which lists Bid Item Number 3 as 1.15 per foot, and Bid Items 2 & 4-10 as 1.55 per foot.
A copy of the Premier Pipe's bid worksheet is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
On March 17, 2022, the City responded by letter stating that City Council would need to approve the
withdrawal and that Premier Pipe's bid bond would be forfeited per the Specifications' Bid
Instructions, Section 11.16 on page I-B-6:

11.16 Proposals may not be withdrawn after said Bid Deadline without
forfeiture of the proposal guarantee.
A copy of the City's letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.
On April 8, 20222, the City emailed Premier Pipe that City Council will vote whether to award the
Project to Premier Pipe or grant the requested withdrawal and bid bond reimbursement request, at
the May 3 meeting. A copy of the City's email is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.
II. LEGAL AUTHORITY
As the awarding authority, the City has the ability to relieve Premier Pipe of its Bid. Public
Contract Code section 5101 provides that upon the consent of the public entity, a bidder may be
relieved of its bid. Pub. Contract Code, § 5101. However, if the public entity refuses to relieve the
bidder of its bid, the bidder may bring an action against the public entity for the recovery of the
amount forfeited, without interest or costs. Pub. Contract Code, § 5101. The City's contract
specifications cannot abrogate the Public Contract Code and limit Premier Pipe's rights to bring an
action to recover the bond.
In order to obtain relief from its bid from the court, the bidder must follow the statutory bid
withdrawal procedure set forth in Public Contract Code section 5103. Section 5103 states:
The bidder shall establish to the satisfaction of the court that:
(a) A mistake was made.
(b) He or she gave the public entity written notice within five days
after the opening of the bids of the mistake, specifying in the notice in
detail how the mistake occurred.
(c) The mistake made the bid materially different than he or she
intended it to be.
(d) The mistake was made in filling out the bid and not due to error in
judgment or to carelessness in inspecting the site of the work, or in
reading the plans or specifications."
The principal objective of Public Contracts Code section 5103 is to relieve a mistaken bidder of
liability on its bid. Balliet Bros. Construction Corp. v. The Regents of the University of California
(1978) 80 Cal.App. 3d 321. California courts have stated that a "typographical or arithmetical" error
of the sort that permits a penalty free withdrawal of a bid is one that is not apparent on the face of
what appears to be a fully responsive bid, but which is disclosed and can be explained by reference
to other data. "For example, a bidder who submits an apparently responsive bid of $1,000 will be
permitted to withdraw it upon proof, by information found in the bid documents or in other
information relevant to the bid but outside the bid documents, that the stated bid amount was
(3109 28720)
Page 49 of 168
Apri128, 2022
Page 3
erroneously inserted due to a mistake in the addition of the underlying component amounts and that
the bid should have been $1,100." Nevocal Enterprises, Inc. v. Board of Educ. of Fresno Unified
School Bd. (Cal. Ct. App., Apr. 25, 2003, No. F039832) 2003 WL 1957221, at *4, as modified (May
14, 2003) citing Pub. Contract Code, §§ 5101, 5103; Buffalo Mun. Housing Authority v. Gross
Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc. (1991) 172 A.D.2d 1030, 569 N.Y.S.2d 289, 289-290 (bidder
relieved of bid where bidder failed to include the costs of certain work, which resulted in a bid lower
than intended; mistake shown by reference to bidder's work sheets used to prepare the bid.) Mistakes
which affect the bid price are the typical basis for relief from a bid, but are not the only basis for
relief under Section 5103. Valley Crest Landscape, Inc. v. City Council (1996) 41 Cal.App.41h 1432.
However, relief from mistakes in bids on public works projects is allowed for clerical and/or
mathematical mistakes. M.F. Kemper Const. Co. v. City of Los Angeles (1951) 37 Cal.2d 696.
III. PREMIER PIPE SHOULD BE RELIEVED OF ITS BID SINCE IT HAS MET THE
FOUR REQUIREMENTS OF WITHDRAWING ITS BID
Premier Pipe has met the four requirements of withdrawing its Bid. First, unquestionably a clerical
mistake was made. Premier Pipe's team inadvertently entered an incorrect bid worksheet into the bid
form. As discussed above, Bid Item Number 3 was mistakenly entered as .85 per foot, instead of
1.15 per foot as set forth in the bid worksheet. See Exhibit 2. Similarly, Bid Items 2 & 4-10 were
mistakenly transcribed at 0.97 per foot, instead of 1.55 per foot as provided in the bid worksheet. See
Exhibit 2. Therefore, a mistake was made.
Second, within five days after the opening of the bids, Premier Pipe gave the City notice of the
mistake. The bids were opened on February 15, 2022. Within two days, on February 17, 2022,
Premier Pipe gave notice of its mistake in its Bid to City.
Next, the mistake made the Bid materially different than Premier Pipe intended it to be. Specifically,
Premier Pipes original bid was for a total price of $254,893.70. The correct bid total price is
$362,222.30. The difference in the prices are significant, thus the Bid is materially different than
Premier Pipe intended it to be. Additionally, Premier Pipe's bid was significantly less than the
second lowest bidder further supporting Premier Pipe's position that the numbers in the bid were
mistakes.
Lastly, the mistake was made in filling out the bid and not due to error in judgment or to carelessness
in inspecting the site of the work, or in reading the plans or specifications. "Misstating the correct
percentage of work to be done by a subcontractor is in the nature of a typographical or arithmetical
error. It makes the bid materially different and is a mistake in filling out the bid." Valley Crest
Landscape, Inc. v. City Council (1996) 41 Cal.App.4th 1432, 1442 (Emphasis added.). Under the
statutes for relief of bidders on public contracts, the only mistakes which could release a bidder from
its bid are typographical or arithmetical errors. Menefee v. County of Fresno (1985) 163 Cal.App.3d
1175, 1181 (Emphasis added.).
Here, the mistake was typographical. The mistake was made when Premier Pipe transferred the
numbers from an old worksheet used to prepare the Bid to the bid proposal. The mistake had nothing
(3109 28720)
Page 50 of 168
Apri128, 2022
Page 4
to do with error in judgment, the inspection of the site or reading the plans. The mistake was simply
a typographical error which can be proved by Premier Pipe's worksheet used to prepare the Bid. See
Exhibit 2. Therefore, it is clear that Premier Pipe easily meets the requirements of Section 5103 if
the City refuses to allow Premier Pipe to withdraw its Bid.
V. CONCLUSION
Therefore, we request that you grant Premier Pipes request to be relieved of its Bid and release the
bid bond without consequence. The mistakes in the Bid were clearly clerical errors and Premier Pipe
gave notice to the City within the statutory time that there was a gross error in its calculations.
We look forward to hearing from you and your confirmation that Premier Pipe's Bid has been
withdrawn without consequence to its bid bond.

COLIN K. MCC THY

Page 2 of 3
SCE owns the land that is under the power lines along Washington Park and provides a
license to the City for its public parkland purposes. License agreement number 9.4190
(formerly referred to as lease number L.1426) is proposed with a five-year term that
covers fiscal years 2021-22 (October 24, 2021) through 2025-26 (October 24, 2025).
SCE also owns the land that is identified on the attached map (9.7879_New Ex A) as
APN 4138-014-806. This parcel is included in the Topgolf facility and adjacent golf
course ("The Lakes"). License agreement number 9.7879 (formerly referred to as lease
number L.1431) is proposed for a five-year term that covers fiscal years 2020-21 (June 24, 2021)
through 2024-25 (June 24, 2025).
DISCUSSION:
SCE License agreement No. 9.4190 (Washington Park) expired on October 23, 2021
and has been temporarily extended through a series of amendments agreed upon by
SCE and the City, which is set to expire on May 31, 2022. The new license agreement
is necessary in order for the City to continue providing parkland space to residents and
other City constituents.
SCE License agreement No. 9.7879 (Topgolf) expired on June 23, 2021 and has been temporarily
extended through a series of amendments agreed upon by SCE and the City, which is set to expire
on May 31, 2022. The new license agreement is necessary in order for the City to continue providing
this land for Topgolf's operations. Topgolf has already submitted payment in full to the City for the full
five years of the SCE license agreement. The City will submit payment to SCE upon City Council
approval of the new agreement. Topgolf will be responsible for all future costs associated with the
license agreement with SCE as long as Topgolf continues to operate in this location.
Staff recommends approving both license agreements.

LICENSE AGREEMENT
Contract No. 9.4190
(Formerly Contract No. L.1426)
THIS AGREEMENT between SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of California, called "Licensor", and CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, called
"Licensee";
WITNESSETH: That Licensor, for and in consideration of the faithful performance by Licensee of the
terms, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth to be kept and performed by Licensee, does
hereby give to Licensee the license to use that certain real property solely for the purpose hereinafter
specified, upon and subject to the terms, reservations, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth,
hereinafter designated as "Property" on the Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof, being a
portion of Assessor's Parcel Numbers 4139-017-801 and 4139-018-800, and all of Assessor's Parcel
Numbers 4139, 024-800, 4138-029-801, and 4139-014-800, situated in the City of El Segundo, County

Acknowledgment of License and Disclaimer of Tenancy
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the License constitutes a limited, revocable, non -possessory,
personal and non -assignable privilege to use the Property solely for those permitted uses and activities
expressly identified in the Agreement (the "License Privilege"). Licensee further acknowledges and
agrees that:
• The consideration paid by Licensee pursuant to Article 3 of the Agreement is
consistent with the value of the rights comprising the License Privilege; the

privilege or interest (such as a lease) in the Property or similarly situated parcels.
• Licensee is not a tenant or lessee of Licensor and holds no rights of tenancy or
leasehold in relation to the Property.
• The Agreement and/or any prior and/or future acts or omissions of Licensor shall
not create (or be construed as creating) a leasehold, tenancy or any other interest in
the Property.
• Licensor may terminate the License and revoke the License Privilege at any time,
subject, if applicable, to a notice period agreed upon by the parties, as more
particularly set forth in the Agreement.
• In consideration of Licensor's grant of the License, Licensee specifically and expressly
waives, releases and relinquishes any and all right(s) to assert any claim of right,
privilege or interest in the Property other than the License.
• Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that without the representations and
agreements set forth herein, Licensor would not enter into the Agreement.

AGREES TO LIMIT LICENSOR'S LIABILITY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. AS SUCH, IF
LICENSEE IS ENTITLED TO ANY RELIEF FOR LICENSOR'S NEGLIGENCE, INCLUDING GROSS
NEGLIGENCE, FOR DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF LICENSEE'S PERSONAL PROPERTY,
BUILDING(S), STRUCTURE(S) OR FIXTURES) AFTER THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF
THIS AGREEMENT, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF LICENSOR SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL
FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY LICENSEE TO LICENSOR DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.
FURTHER, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR
INJURY OR DAMAGE TO LICENSEE'S BUSINESS, IF ANY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF RENTS OR OTHER EVENTS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY,
LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOSS OF USE, IN EACH CASE, HOWEVER OCCURRING, RELATED TO
THIS AGREEMENT.
33. Non -Possessory Interest: Licensor retains full possession of the Property and Licensee
will not acquire any possessory interest, whether temporary, permanent, or otherwise by reason of this

35. Authority: This Agreement is executed subject to General Order No. 69-C of the Public
Utilities Commission of the State of California dated and effective July 10, 1985, incorporated by this
reference. As set forth in General Order 69-C, this License is made conditional upon the right of the

use of that property (including, but not limited to the removal of any obstructions) whenever, in the
interest of Licensor's service to its patrons or consumers, it shall appear necessary or desirable to do so.
Licensee agrees to comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations. This Agreement should
not be construed as a subordination of Licensor's rights, title and interest in and to its fee ownership,
nor should this Agreement be construed as a waiver of any of the provisions contained in said License
or a waiver of any costs of relocation of affected Licensor facilities.
36. Electric and Magnetic Fields ("EMF"): There are numerous sources of power frequency
electric and magnetic field ("EMF"), including household or building wiring, electrical appliances and
electric power transmission and distribution facilities. There have been numerous scientific studies
about the potential health effects of EMF. Interest in a potential link between long-term exposures to
EMF and certain diseases is based on this scientific research and public concerns.
While some 40 years of research have not established EMF as a health hazard, some health authorities
have identified magnetic field exposures as a possible human carcinogen. Many of the questions about
diseases have been successfully resolved due to an aggressive international research program. However,
potentially important public health questions remain about whether there is a link between EMF
exposures in homes or work and some diseases including childhood leukemia and a variety of other
adult diseases (e.g. adult cancers and miscarriages). While scientific research is continuing on a wide
range of questions relating to exposures at both work and in our communities, a quick resolution of the
remaining scientific uncertainties is not expected.
Since Licensee plans to license or otherwise enter Licensor property that is in close proximity to Licensor
electric facilities, Licensor wants to share with Licensee and those who may enter the property under
this agreement, the information available about EMF. Accordingly, Licensor has attached to this
document a brochure that explains some basic facts about EMF and that describes Licensor policy on
EMF. Licensor also encourages Licensee to obtain other information as needed to assist in
understanding the EMF regarding the planned use of this property.
37. Induced Voltages: Licensee hereby acknowledges that any structures (including, but not
limited to, buildings, fences, light poles) that exist or may be constructed on the Property licensed herein,
(hereinafter, the "Structures") in close proximity to one or more high voltage (66 kilovolt or above) electric
transmission lines and/or substation facilities may be susceptible to induced voltages, static voltages
and/or related electric fault conditions (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Induced Voltages") unless
appropriate grounding or other mitigation measures are incorporated into the Structures. If not properly
mitigated, Induced Voltages can cause a variety of safety and/or nuisance conditions including, but not
limited to, electric shocks or other injuries to individuals contacting the Structures or other utilities
connected to the Structures (including, but not limited to, natural gas lines, water lines or cable
television lines), or interference with or damage to sensitive electronic equipment in or around the
Structures. Measures to mitigate Induced Voltages, if required, will vary from case to case because of
factors such as electric facility configuration and voltage, other utilities involved, or sensitivity of
electronic equipment. Licensee will be responsible to determine what Induced Voltages mitigation
measures should be undertaken regarding the Structures and to implement such mitigation measures
at its sole cost and expense.
Licensee agrees for itself and for its contractors, agents, licensees, invitees, and employees, to save
harmless and indemnify Licensor, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliated entities and their respective
officers and employees against all claims, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, expenses and/or
liability arising from or growing out of loss or damage to property, including Licensor's own personal

AGREES TO LIMIT LICENSOR'S LIABILITY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. AS SUCH, IF
LICENSEE IS ENTITLED TO ANY RELIEF FOR LICENSOR'S NEGLIGENCE, INCLUDING GROSS
NEGLIGENCE, FOR DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF LICENSEE'S PERSONAL PROPERTY,
BUILDING(S), STRUCTURE(S) OR FIXTURES) AFTER THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF
THIS AGREEMENT, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF LICENSOR SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL
FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY LICENSEE TO LICENSOR DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.
FURTHER, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR
INJURY OR DAMAGE TO LICENSEE'S BUSINESS, IF ANY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF RENTS OR OTHER EVENTS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY,
LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOSS OF USE, IN EACH CASE, HOWEVER OCCURRING, RELATED TO
THIS AGREEMENT.
33. Non -Possessory Interest: Licensor retains full possession of the Property and Licensee
will not acquire any possessory interest, whether temporary, permanent, or otherwise by reason of this
Agreement, or by the exercise of the permission given herein. Licensee will make no claim to any such

Licensor. No waiver by Licensor of any provision shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of
any subsequent breach by Licensee of the same or any other provision. Licensor's consent to or approval
of any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Licensor's consent to or approval
of any subsequent act by Licensee. Licensor's acceptance of payment after providing notice of

interest of Licensor's service to its patrons or consumers, it shall appear necessary or desirable to do so.
Licensee agrees to comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations. This Agreement should

not be construed as a subordination of Licensor's rights, title and interest in and to its fee ownership,
nor should this Agreement be construed as a waiver of any of the provisions contained in said License
or a waiver of any costs of relocation of affected Licensor facilities.
36. Electric and Magnetic Fields ("EMF"): There are numerous sources of power frequency
electric and magnetic field ("EMF"), including household or building wiring, electrical appliances and
electric power transmission and distribution facilities. There have been numerous scientific studies
about the potential health effects of EMF. Interest in a potential link between long-term exposures to
EMF and certain diseases is based on this scientific research and public concerns.
While some 40 years of research have not established EMF as a health hazard, some health authorities
have identified magnetic field exposures as a possible human carcinogen. Many of the questions about
diseases have been successfully resolved due to an aggressive international research program. However,
potentially important public health questions remain about whether there is a link between EMF
exposures in homes or work and some diseases including childhood leukemia and a variety of other
adult diseases (e.g. adult cancers and miscarriages). While scientific research is continuing on a wide
range of questions relating to exposures at both work and in our communities, a quick resolution of the
remaining scientific uncertainties is not expected.
Since Licensee plans to license or otherwise enter Licensor property that is in close proximity to Licensor
electric facilities, Licensor wants to share with Licensee and those who may enter the property under
this agreement, the information available about EMF. Accordingly, Licensor has attached to this
document a brochure that explains some basic facts about EMF and that describes Licensor policy on
EMF. Licensor also encourages Licensee to obtain other information as needed to assist in
understanding the EMF regarding the planned use of this property.
37. Induced Voltages: Licensee hereby acknowledges that any structures (including, but not
limited to, buildings, fences, light poles) that exist or may be constructed on the Property licensed herein,
(hereinafter, the "Structures") in close proximity to one or more high voltage (66 kilovolt or above) electric
transmission lines and/or substation facilities may be susceptible to induced voltages, static voltages
and/or related electric fault conditions (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Induced Voltages") unless
appropriate grounding or other mitigation measures are incorporated into the Structures. If not properly
mitigated, Induced Voltages can cause a variety of safety and/or nuisance conditions including, but not
limited to, electric shocks or other injuries to individuals contacting the Structures or other utilities
connected to the Structures (including, but not limited to, natural gas lines, water lines or cable
television lines), or interference with or damage to sensitive electronic equipment in or around the
Structures. Measures to mitigate Induced Voltages, if required, will vary from case to case because of
factors such as electric facility configuration and voltage, other utilities involved, or sensitivity of
electronic equipment. Licensee will be responsible to determine what Induced Voltages mitigation
measures should be undertaken regarding the Structures and to implement such mitigation measures
at its sole cost and expense.
Licensee agrees for itself and for its contractors, agents, licensees, invitees, and employees, to save
harmless and indemnify Licensor, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliated entities and their respective
officers and employees against all claims, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, expenses and/or
liability arising from or growing out of loss or damage to property, including Licensor's own personal
property, or injury to or death of persons, including employees of Licensor caused by or resulting from
or connected to Induced Voltages on or related to the Structures.

Item Number: B.9
TITLE:
Resolution Allowing Continued Teleconferenced Public Meetings
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the proposed resolution to continue the City's utilization of relaxed
teleconferencing requirements under the Brown Act.
a 6*9Y_1 N 1►Yi l J_T" 6
The proposed action will have no significant fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
Assembly Bill No. 361 ("AB 361") amended certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown
Act governing open meetings to allow teleconferencing, including internet-based video
conferencing, in a manner similar to previously -issued gubernatorial executive orders.
AB 361 allows a legislative body to continue utilizing teleconferencing to conduct public
meetings under certain circumstances, provided it makes certain findings outlined in
Government Code § 54953(e). Government Code § 54953(f) allows the municipal, but
not state, legislative bodies to continue such teleconferencing until the earlier of the
lifting of the Governor's state of emergency declaration or December 31, 2023, so long
as certain findings are made every 30 days.
DISCUSSION:
Since the Governor's state of emergency is still effective and the County of Los Angeles
continues to strongly recommend certain masking and social distancing measures, the
necessary findings can be made for the City Council to adopt the proposed Resolution
allowing the continued use of "hybrid" teleconferenced meetings pursuant to
Government Code §§ 54953(e) and 54953(f) for a period of 30 days from the date of
adoption of the propsoed Resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO FINDING THAT CERTAIN CONDITIONS EXIST TO
CONTINUE CONDUCTING PUBLIC MEETINGS VIA
TELECONFERENCING PURUSANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION §§ 54953(e) AND 54953(f).
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of
Emergency to exist in California due to the threat of the COVID-19
pandemic and such State of Emergency has not been rescinded by
either the Governor or the California Legislature.
B. This gubernatorial proclamation, among other things, suspended
local government emergency declaration, reporting, and extension
requirements of Government Code § 8630 for the duration of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
C. Effective September 16, 2021, Assembly Bill No. 361 ("AB 361 ") took
effect which, among other things, amends certain provisions of the
Ralph M. Brown Act ("Brown Act") governing open meetings to allow
teleconferencing, including internet-based video conferencing, in a
manner similar to previously issued gubernatorial executive orders.
D. During a proclaimed state of emergency, AB 361 allows a legislative
body, like the City Council, to continue utilizing teleconferencing to
conduct public meetings under certain circumstances, provided the
legislative body makes certain findings.
E. The City Council has previously adopted and made findings to
continue meeting via teleconferencing pursuant to AB 361 and seeks
to make additional findings under Government Code § 54953(e) to
continue such teleconferencing use.
F. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued an
order, effective March 4, 2022, that lifted its indoor mask order given
the county's coronavirus community level dropping into the "low"
category, but maintained that masks are "strongly recommended" in
indoor settings to prevent transmission of COVID-19.
SECTION 2. Teleconferencing; Ratification.
-1-
Page 108 of 168
A. Pursuant to Government Code § 54953(e), the City Council has
reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency finds as
follows:
1. California continues to be in a declared state of emergency
pursuant to Government Code § 8625 (the California Emergency
Services Act; see Government Code § 54953(e)(3); see also
Governor's Proclamation dated March 4, 2020 and Executive
Order N-04-22 dated February 25, 2022); and
2. Based upon the most recent Order of the Health Officer for
County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health (dated March
3, 2022 and effective March 4, 2022), masks are strongly
recommended to curb the spread of COVID-19 (Government
Code § 54953(e)(3)(B)(ii)).
B. Accordingly, to protect public health and safety the City Council:
1. Finds that it is in the public interest to conduct City Council
meetings via teleconference as defined by Government Code §
54953;
2. Authorizes City Council members to appear at regular and
special meetings in person; and
3. Authorizes public officials, designated by the City Manager, or
designee, to attend such City Council meetings if presenting
matters to the legislative body or if the official's presence at the
meeting is otherwise deemed necessary by the City Manager or
designee.
C. The City Council will adhere to all requirements of Government Code §
54953 governing teleconferencing during the emergency including,
without limitation, posting agendas; allowing for real-time public
comment via either call -in or internet-based; allowing for written
communications that will be either read or summarized into the record
during the meeting as determined by the City Council; and protecting the
statutory and constitutional rights of all persons appearing before the
legislative body.
SECTION 3. Environmental Review. This Resolution itself and the actions
anticipated herein were reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and the regulations
promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the
"CEQA Guidelines"). Based upon that review, this action is exempt from further
review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15269(a) because the protection of public
-2-
Page 109 of 168
and private property is necessary to maintain service essential to the public, health
and welfare.
SECTION 4. Reporting. Every 30 days following adoption of this
Resolution, the City Council will reconsider the extension of the teleconferencing
method of public meetings in accordance with Government Code § 54953(e)(3).
Such determinations may be placed on the consent calendar.
SECTION 5. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with
electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic
signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original
signature.
SECTION 6. Signature Authority. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby
authorized to affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City
Council of the City of El Segundo, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy,
is directed to attest thereto.
SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Resolution will take effect immediately
upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.
SECTION & City Clerk Actions. The City Clerk will certify to the passage and
adoption of this Resolution, enter it in the City's book of original Resolutions, and
make a record of this action in the meeting's minutes.

Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.10
TITLE:
Convert the Communications Manager Classification from Civil Service to At -Will Status
and Adopt Revised Classification Specification and Examination Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the conversion of the Communications Manager classification from Civil
Service to at -will status.
2. Adopt the revised classification specification and examination plan for the
Communications Manager position.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no budget impact associated with this item. Sufficient funding for the current
fiscal year is available in the adopted budget. No change to the salary range for the
position is required.
BACKGROUND:
The Human Resources Department is committed to improving and enhancing
recruitment, selection and retention initiatives using industry best practices. An
evaluation of the classification specification, accompanying examination plan, and
salary survey of comparable positions provides an opportunity to make any necessary
adjustments while the position is vacant.
Currently, the Communications Manager is a Civil Service position requiring successful
completion of a one-year probationary period to achieve permanent status and is
included in the unrepresented Management and Confidential Group. The City has been
converting Division Manager level classifications to an at -will status as positions
become vacant. Consistent with this practice, staff is also recommending conversion of
the Communications Manager.
The attached revised classification specification includes updated experience and
Page 112 of 168
Communications Manager Classification
May 17, 2022
Page 2 of 3
education requirements to align internally with other Manager positions within the city as
well as standardized language and formatting. The experience requirement is updated
from four (4) years to five (5) years of increasingly responsible experience in journalism,
public relations, English, public administration, or closely related field; including two (2)
years of management and supervisory experience. The education requirement for a
bachelor's degree remains the same.
Currently, the examination plan consists a structured technical and career preparation
interview weighted at 100% of the total score. This is an appropriate examination plan
for a Division Manager level position and no changes are recommended. A salary
survey conducted among our survey cities found the position is competitively
compensated in the market and no changes to the salary range are recommended.
DISCUSSION:
A Division Manager position holds a significant level of responsibility and is key in
succession planning as an employee in this role has the potential to become a
Department Director or gain further experience by rotating to another Manager position
within the City. At -will status provides an incentive to maintain a higher level of
performance and prepares an employee to progress in their career.
Staff is recommending converting the Communications Manager position from Civil
Service to at -will to align with Division Manager positions in other departments. In
reviewing the classification specification, updates are recommended to include the at -
will designation and standardized language regarding driver's license and disaster
service worker requirements.
Staff recommendations provided above align with the City's Strategic Plan Goals 1 and
3, to enhance customer service, provide unparalleled service to internal and external
customers and to consistently hire for the future.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 1: Enhance Customer Service, Engagement, and Communication; Embrace
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Objective 1A: El Segundo provides unparalleled service to internal and external
customers.
Objective 1 B: El Segundo's engagement with the community ensures excellence.
Goal 3: Develop as a Choice Employer and Workforce
Objective: El Segundo is a city employer of choice and consistently hires for the future,

Item Number: B.11
TITLE:
A Resolution for Paying and Reporting the Value of Employer Paid Member
Contribution for Police Managers' Association
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution for paying and reporting the value of Employer Paid Member
Contribution for Police Managers' Association (PMA).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact. The City has been paying and reporting its
retirement contributions based on the current 3% Employer Paid Member Contribution
as outlined in the PMA Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was adopted and
approved by City Council on November 5, 2019.
BACKGROUND:
The City contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS)
to provide retirement benefits. Retirement benefits are funded through employee and
employer designated contributions. Employee contributions paid by an employer on the
employee's behalf may be reported as additional compensation for "Classic" members
(members enrolled in CaIPERS prior to the Pension Reform Act of 2013). This benefit
is known as Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC). The City and the PMA met
and conferred and came to an agreement on the provisions reflected in the current
MOU which included a schedule of percentages for City paid EPMC contributions.
CaIPERS requires that these EPMC percentages be adopted a City Council resolution.
DISCUSSION:
Section 22.02 of the PMA MOU includes a schedule of yearly adjustments to the City
paid EPMC resulting in a 0% contribution effective the pay period that includes October
1, 2022. Resolution No. 5257 adopted by City Council on April 20, 2021, included three
Page 119 of 168

Page 2 of 2
of the four adjustments outlined in the MOU. The attached resolution reflects the final
reduction. Upon City Council adoption, Human Resources will file the approved
resolution with CalPERS.
Goal 3: Develop as a Choice Employer and Workforce
Objective: El Segundo is a 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.

Item Number: B.12
TITLE:
Fee Waiver for Boy Scout Troop 267 for Flag Day Retirement Ceremony at the Fire
Circle in Recreation Park
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve fee waiver for Boy Scout Troop 267 for a Flag Day Retirement
Ceremony on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, from 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The resident non-profit organization fee for use of the fire circle at Recreation Park for
the timeframe of this event is $141.75. If approved, this fee will not be collected.
BACKGROUND:
The United States Flag Code states, "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no
longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by
burning." In accordance with this guidance, local area Boy Scout Troops accept flags
from residents and businesses to dispose of them with dignity. Each year on Flag Day,
Troop 267 (or another local Troop) holds a ceremony at El Segundo Recreation Park to
properly destroy flags that are no longer suitable for display.
DISCUSSION:
The Boy Scouts perform this important community service at no charge and have
received hundreds of flags from the El Segundo community to dispose of in a respectful
manner. Boy Scout Troop 267 has requested the waiver of $141.75 in fees to properly
dispose of flags donated for destruction at a Flag Retirement Ceremony on Flag Day,
June 14, 2022, at the fire circle in Recreation Park.

Item Number: D.13
TITLE:
Adoption of Classification Specification and Resolution to Establish the Basic Salary
Range for the Job Classification of Lifeguard Trainee (Part-time)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt the classification specification for the Lifeguard Trainee (Part-time)
position.
2. Adopt a resolution establishing the basic salary range for the Lifeguard Trainee
(Part-time) job classification.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funding is available in the adopted FY 21-22 budget. No additional funding is
required.
BACKGROUND:
Community Services Department programs and activities have been significantly
impacted over the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in fewer
recreational classes being offered. Staffing needs during this time were reduced and the
focus was to provide as many events as possible while adhering to safety precautions.
Recruitment and retention for seasonal positions proved challenging.
As the City of El Segundo moves to restore recreational programing to pre -pandemic
levels, addressing concerns related to attracting and retaining qualified part-time staff in
the Recreation Division, specifically in the Lifeguard classification series, is a high
priority. Human Resources and Community Services staff met to discuss these
challenges and develop new strategies to recruit qualified part-time employees for the
entry-level Lifeguard classification.
Page 126 of 168
Lifeguard Trainee (Part-time) Classification
May 17, 2022
Page 2 of 3
DISCUSSION:
The Human Resources Department is committed to improving and enhancing
recruitment, selection and retention initiatives with best practices. Attracting high caliber
candidates, maintaining service levels while filling vacancies, and retaining the
individual selected for the position are essential to providing long-term stability and
uninterrupted service to our residents and business community.
The minimum requirements of the Lifeguard position include possession of American
Red Cross certifications in the following areas: First Aid, CPR and AED for the
Professional Rescuer, and Lifeguard. For candidates seeking immediate employment,
the time and expense in obtaining these certifications can be a factor in their decision to
apply. We are jointly recommending a Lifeguard Trainee position be created to provide
a minimum wage while taking the necessary courses (taught by City of El Segundo
staff) to obtain certification. In addition to the American Red Cross coursework,
candidates would complete a Recreation Division orientation and work shifts alongside
experienced staff to provide on-the-job training. As candidates progress through the
program and become more confident in their skills, they may be appointed to the
position of Lifeguard.
Attracting and retaining talent has become increasingly difficult post -pandemic, requiring
more flexibility and creativity to fill positions. Offering a Trainee position is a solution -
based strategy that addresses the qualifications gap, provides for a more expeditious
hiring process, encourages employee retention through the Lifeguard classification
series, and provides better service to the community while consistently hiring for the
future.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 1: Enhance Customer Service, Engagement, and Communication; Embrace
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Objective 1A: El Segundo provides unparalleled service to internal and external
customers.
Objective 1 B: El Segundo's engagement with the community ensures excellence.
Goal 3: Develop as a Choice Employer and Workforce
Objective: El Segundo is a 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.

ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 17, 2022
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.14
TITLE:
Staff Presentation and City Council Direction on a City Commercial Cannabis Tax
Initiative and City Commercial Cannabis Regulatory Initiative
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive and file a staff presentation regarding a proposed City Commercial
Cannabis Tax Initiative, including an associated Cannabis Tax Ballot Resolution,
and a proposed City Commercial Cannabis Regulatory Initiative.
2. Provide staff feedback and direction for both proposed initiatives.
3. Take any additional related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact for FY 2021/22. If City Council provides direction to staff to move
forward with a ballot measure addressing the Cannabis Tax, there will be election costs
of approximately $5,000 ($2,513 for the County election and about $2,487 for City
Attorney and staff time) associated with each ballot measure included in the November
2022 election; sufficient funds will be included in the FY 2022-23 Budget. Additional
comparable costs would be associated with the City Regulatory Initiative.
BACKGROUND:
On April 19, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5314, approving the City
Clerk's certification of the sufficiency of the voter commercial cannabis regulatory
initiative petition (the "Voter Initiative"), which was filed with the City Clerk on January
21, 2022. The City Council additionally moved to submit the Voter Initiative to the City's
voters at the City's November 8, 2022 general municipal election. Finally, the City
Council directed staff to craft:
• a commercial cannabis business tax measure for prospective submission to the
voters at the same election ("Cannabis Business Tax "); and
Page 134 of 168
City Cannabis Initiatives
May 17, 2022
Page 2 of 5
• a City -initiated commercial cannabis regulatory initiative ("City Regulatory
Initiative") to compete with the Voter Initiative.
The purpose of this draft commercial cannabis tax ordinance ("Cannabis Business Tax")
is to adopt a tax, for revenue purposes, pursuant to Sections 7284, and 7284.4 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code, upon cannabis and hemp businesses that may engage in
business in the City in the future should such activity be lawfully approved by voters
through a ballot initiative. Approving to move forward with placing a Cannabis Business
Tax on the November 2022 ballot will position the City to potentially assess and collect
tax on commercial cannabis and commercial hemp activity should such commercial
activity become legally permissible within El Segundo City limits at some point in the
future. Having the tax measure on City books and ready to implement is good business
practice.
On April 19, 2022, City Council provided staff direction to bring back additional
information regarding the number of eligible parcels located in the M-1 Light Industrial
Zone. Variables impacting eligibility to locate a cannabis retail establishment included
proximity buffers to sensitive uses, a minimum 5,000 gross square foot facility size, and
prohibition on major arterials.
DISCUSSION:
Cannabis Business Tax
The draft Cannabis Business Tax is levied based upon business gross receipts except
for commercial cannabis cultivation or commercial industrial hemp cultivation which
shall be taxed on square footage. It is not a sales and use tax, a tax upon income, or a
tax upon real property and shall not be calculated or assessed as such. The draft
Cannabis Business Tax shall not be separately identified or otherwise specifically
assessed or charged to any member, customer, patient, or caretaker. The draft
Cannabis Business Tax is a general tax enacted solely for general, governmental
purposes of the City and not for specific purposes. All of the proceeds from the tax
imposed by this chapter shall be placed in the City's General Fund and be available for
any lawful City purpose.
The intent of this draft Ordinance is to levy a tax on all cannabis or industrial hemp
businesses that may operate in the City in the future, regardless of whether such
business would have been legal at the time this chapter was adopted. Nothing in this
chapter shall be interpreted to authorize or permit any business activity that would not
otherwise be legal or permissible under laws applicable to the activity at the time the
activity is undertaken.
Beginning January 1, 2023, there is imposed upon each person who is engaged in
business as a cannabis business a cannabis business tax. Such tax is payable
regardless of whether the person has been issued a commercial cannabis business
Page 135 of 168
City Cannabis Initiatives
May 17, 2022
Page 3 of 5
license, permit, or certificate to operate lawfully in the City or is operating unlawfully.
The City's acceptance of a cannabis business tax payment from a cannabis business
operating illegally shall not constitute the City's approval or consent to such illegal
operations.
The City Council may, by resolution or ordinance, increase or decrease the rate of the
cannabis business tax, including the initial rate of cannabis business tax. The City
Council may, by resolution or ordinance, increase or decrease the rate of the medicinal
cannabis business tax, including the initial rate of the medicinal cannabis business tax,
independent of other cannabis business tax activities. In addition, the City Council may,
by resolution or ordinance, increase or decrease the rate of the cannabis business tax
on hemp or hemp products, including the initial rate of the tax on hemp or hemp
products independent of other cannabis activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the City Council repeal this tax or set any adjusted rate that exceeds the
maximum rates calculated.
The maximum rate of the cannabis business tax shall be calculated as follows:
For every person engaged in commercial cannabis cultivation, including
cultivation of industrial hemp, in the City through January 1, 2026, the annual
maximum rate shall be:
A. Ten dollars ($10.00) per square foot of canopy space in a facility that
uses exclusively artificial lighting.
B. Seven dollars ($7.00) per square foot of canopy space in a facility that
uses a combination of natural and supplemental lighting as defined in
Section 4-17-4 (S) of this chapter.
C. Four dollars ($4.00) per square foot of canopy space in a facility that
uses no artificial lighting.
D. Two dollars ($2.00) per square foot of canopy space for any nursery.
2. On January 1, 2026 and on each January 1, thereafter, the maximum annual tax
rates specified above (Subsection 4-17-5 (C) (1) (a)), shall increase by the
percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for consumers in the
Los Angeles -Riverside -Orange County area as published by the United States
Government Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, no CPI adjustment resulting in
a decrease of any tax imposed by this subsection shall be made.
3. For every person engaged in the operation of a testing laboratory for cannabis,
cannabis products, industrial hemp and/or industrial hemp products the person
shall be subject to the maximum tax rate not to exceed two percent (2%) of gross
receipts.
4. For every person engaged in retail sales of cannabis, cannabis products,
industrial hemp, and/or industrial hemp products, including as a retailer
(dispensary) or non -storefront retailer (retail delivery business), or microbusiness,
the person shall be subject to the maximum tax rate not to exceed six percent
(6%) of gross receipts.
Page 136 of 168
City Cannabis Initiatives
May 17, 2022
Page 4 of 5
5. For every person engaged in distribution of cannabis, cannabis products,
industrial hemp and/or industrial hemp products, the person shall be subject to
the maximum tax rate not to exceed three percent (3%) of gross receipts.
6. For every person engaged in manufacturing or processing of cannabis, cannabis
products, industrial hemp and/or industrial hemp products, or any other type of
cannabis business not described in Section 4-17-5 (C) (1), (2), (3), or (4) the
person shall be subject to the maximum tax rate not to exceed four percent (4%)
of gross receipts.
Persons subject to the cannabis business tax shall register with the City and, if
applicable, pay the registration fee adopted by resolution or ordinance by the City
Council.
The total annual General Fund revenue expected to be generated by the proposed
Cannabis Business Tax is between $600,000 to $900,000.
The proposed ballot language reads: To fund general municipal expenses such as
police, fire, roads and recreation, shall the City tax cannabis or hemp businesses at
annual rates not to exceed $10.00 per canopy square foot for cultivation (adjustable for
inflation), 6% of gross receipts for retail cannabis businesses, and 4% for all other
cannabis businesses; which is expected to generate an estimated $600,000 to
$900,000 annually and will be levied until repealed by the voters or the City Council?
The attached proposed Cannabis Tax Ordinance and proposed Resolution approving a
ballot measure are attached to this report. The proposed Ordinance and Resolution
were drafted with the professional assistance of HdL. HdL has drafted well over 140
cannabis tax measures for municipalities in California. Their expertise on this subject
matter was invaluable in determining the most appropriate recommendation to City
Council for the various proposed tax rates for the City of El Segundo.
While the aforementioned tax rates are recommended by HdL and staff, the policy
direction provided by City Council tonight will be incorporated into the final draft of the
Ordinance and Resolution that will be brought back to City Council in June for approval.
Due to the Cannabis Business Tax measure being a proposed tax, State law requires a
minimum of four out five City Council Members to approve the Cannabis Tax Ordinance
and Resolution when it is brought back in June.
City Regulatory Initiative
In order to determine eligible sites, the following variables require further analysis and direction:
Sensitive Use Definitions
Day Care Centers - Citizen Initiative and Heath and Safety Code definition is consistent, to include a
facility which includes infant centers, preschools, extended day care, and school age child care
centers, but excludes family day care homes.
Page 137 of 168
City Cannabis Initiatives
May 17, 2022
Page 5 of 5
Youth Centers - Citizen Initiative includes parks, playgrounds or recreational areas, but excludes
private martial arts, yoga, ballet, music, etc. studios. Health and Safety Code doesn't clearly include
parks, but does include private youth member -based clubs or facilities.
Location
Zoning - City Regulatory Initiative to limit the location of retail establishments to the M-1 Light
Industrial Zone.
Development Standards
Minimum Size - City Regulatory Initiative to require retail establishments to be located in
facilities no less then 5,000 gross square feet.
Buffer - City Regulatory Initiative to require retail establishments to not be located along
any Major Arterial, as defined by the El Segundo General Plan, Circulation Element.
Staff will provide additional information regarding feasible locations during its
presentation of this item.
Next Steps
Based on the City Council's direction regarding the City Cannabis Tax and the City
Regulatory Initiative, City staff will finalize the text of both measures. In June, the
measures will be presented for City Council consideration of submission of either or
both to the City's voters at the November 8, 2022 general municipal election.

Constitutions of the United States or the State of California or a violation of any other provision
of the California Constitution or state law. If a person believes that the tax, as applied to him or
her, is impermissible under applicable law, he or she may request that the Tax Administrator

business, a deficiency determination may be made at any time within three (3) years thereafter
as to any liability arising from engaging in such cannabis business whether or not a deficiency
determination is issued prior to the date the tax would otherwise be due. Whenever a deficiency
determination is made, a notice shall be given to the person concerned in the same manner as
notices of assessment are given under Sections 4-17-24 and 4-17-25.
4-17-23 Failure to report —nonpayment, fraud.
A. Under any of the following circumstances, the Tax Administrator may make and
give notice of an assessment of the amount of tax owed by a person under this chapter at any
time:
1. If the person has not filed a complete statement required under the
provisions of this chapter;
2. If the person has not paid the tax due under the provisions of this chapter;
3. If the person has not, after demand by the Tax Administrator, filed a
corrected statement, or furnished to the Tax Administrator adequate substantiation of
the information contained in a statement already filed, or paid any additional amount of
tax due under the provisions of this chapter; or
4. If the Tax Administrator determines that the nonpayment of any cannabis
business tax due under this chapter is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%)
of the amount of the tax shall be added thereto in addition to penalties and interest
otherwise payable under this chapter and any other penalties allowed by law.
B. The notice of assessment shall separately set forth the amount of any tax known
by the Tax Administrator to be due or estimated by the Tax Administrator, after consideration of
all information within the Tax Administrator's knowledge concerning the business and activities
of the person assessed, to be due under each applicable provision of this chapter and shall include
the amount of any penalties or interest accrued on each amount to the date of the notice of
Cannabis Tax Ordinance
Page 16
Page 154 of 168
assessment. The notice shall state that the person has thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
the notice to make a written request for an informal hearing before the Tax Administrator. The
notice shall also state that if the person fails to timely request an informal hearing within the
time allowed, the amount determined by the Tax Administrator is final and conclusive and is
immediately due and payable.
4-17-24 Tax assessment - notice requirements.
The notice of assessment shall be served upon the person either by personal delivery, by
overnight delivery by a nationally -recognized courier service, or by a deposit of the notice in the
United States mail, postage prepaid thereon, addressed to the person at the address of the
location of the business or to such other address as he or she shall register with the Tax
Administrator for the purpose of receiving notices provided under this chapter; or, should the
person have no address registered with the Tax Administrator for such purpose, then to such
person's last known address. For the purpose of Section 4-17-24, a service by overnight delivery
shall be deemed to have occurred one (1) calendar day following deposit with a courier and
service by mail shall be deemed to have occurred three (3) days following deposit in the United
States mail.
4-17-25 Tax assessment - hearing, application, and determination.
Within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of service of the notice of assessment the
person may apply in writing to the Tax Administrator for an informal hearing on the assessment.
If application for an informal hearing is not made within the time herein prescribed, the tax
assessed by the Tax Administrator shall become final and conclusive. Within thirty (30) calendar
days of the receipt of any such application for an informal hearing, the Tax Administrator shall
cause the matter to be set for an informal hearing before him or her, or his/her designee, no later
than thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of the application, unless a later date is agreed to
by the Tax Administrator and the person requesting the informal hearing. Notice of such informal
hearing shall be given by the Tax Administrator to the person requesting such informal hearing
no later than five (5) calendar days prior to such informal hearing. A hearing under this section
shall be informal and need not follow any formal rules of evidence. At such hearing said applicant
may appear and offer evidence why the assessment as made by the Tax Administrator should not
be confirmed and fixed as the tax due. After such hearing the Tax Administrator shall determine
and reassess (if necessary) the proper amount of tax, interest, penalties, and fees to be charged
and shall give written notice of the decision to the person in the manner prescribed in Section 4-
17-24 for giving notice of assessment. No appeal of a notice of assessment may be made under
Section 4-17-15 unless an informal hearing is timely requested and the person attends the
hearing. If the person fails to appear at the informal hearing, the amount due determined by the
Tax Administrator in the notice of assessment is final and conclusive.
4-17-26 Relief from taxes — disaster relief.
Cannabis Tax Ordinance
Page 17
Page 155 of 168
A. If a person is unable to comply with any tax requirement imposed under this
chapter due to a disaster impacting its cannabis business, the person may notify the Tax
Administrator of its inability to comply and request relief from the tax requirement. For purposes
of this chapter, "disaster" means fire, flood, storm, tidal wave, earthquake, or similar public
calamity resulting in physical damage to real property, whether or not resulting from natural
causes.
B. The person shall provide any information required by the Tax Administrator
including, without limitation, why relief is requested, the time period for which the relief is
requested, and the reason relief is needed for the specific amount of time. The person agrees to
grant the Tax Administrator or his/her designee access to the location where the cannabis
business has been impacted due to a disaster.
C. The Tax Administrator, in his/her sole discretion, may provide relief from the
cannabis business tax requirement for businesses whose operations have been impacted by a
disaster if such tax relief does not exceed ten thousand ($10,000) dollars. Such temporary relief
may be granted for a reasonable amount of time, in the Tax Administrator's sole discretion, and
the amount and duration of relief should be based upon how long it would reasonably take for
the cannabis business to recover from the disaster. The Tax Administrator may require that the
cannabis business follow certain conditions to receive temporary relief from the cannabis
business tax requirement. The Tax Administrator's decision on a request for relief and the
conditions that may be imposed for relief under this section are final and conclusive and not
subject to appeal under Section 4-17-15.
4-17-27 Conviction for violation - taxes not waived.
The conviction and punishment of any person for failure to pay the required tax shall not
excuse or exempt such person from any civil action for the tax debt unpaid at the time of such
conviction. No civil action shall prevent a criminal prosecution for any violation of the provisions
of this chapter or of any state law requiring the payment of all taxes.
4-17-28 Violation deemed misdemeanor.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
4-17-29 Severability.
If any provision of this chapter, or its application to any person or circumstance, is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, unenforceable, or otherwise
void, that determination shall have no effect on any other provision of this chapter or the
application of this chapter to any other person or circumstance and, to that end, the provisions
hereof are severable.
4-17-30 Remedies cumulative.
Cannabis Tax Ordinance
Page 18
Page 156 of 168
All remedies and penalties prescribed by this chapter, or which are available under any
other provision of this code and any other provision of law or equity are cumulative. The use of
one or more remedies by the City shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purpose of
enforcing the provisions of this chapter.
4-17-31 Amendment or modification.
Except as set forth in Section 4-17-31, this chapter may be amended or modified but not
repealed by the City Council without a vote of the people. However, as required by Article XIII C
of the California Constitution, voter approval is required for any amendment that would expand,
extend, or increase the rate of any tax levied pursuant to this chapter beyond the maximums set
forth in this chapter. The people of the City of El Segundo affirm that the following actions shall
not constitute an increase of the rate of a tax:
A. The restoration or adjustment of the rate of the tax to a rate that is no higher than
that allowed by this chapter, in those circumstances where, among others, the City Council has
previously acted to reduce the rate of the tax or is incrementally implementing an increase
authorized by this chapter;
B. An action that interprets or clarifies (i) the methodology of applying or calculating
the tax or (ii) any definition applicable to the tax, so long as the interpretation or clarification
(even if contrary to some prior interpretation or clarification) is not inconsistent with the
provisions of this chapter; or
C. The collection of the tax imposed by this chapter even if the City had, for some
period of time, failed to collect the tax.
SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance. The people of the City of El Segundo hereby declare that
they would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and
phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences,
clauses, or phrases be declared invalid.

SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The City Council hereby finds and
determines that this resolution or ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. ("CEQA") and 14 Cal. Code Re. Sections 15000
et seq. ("CEQA Guidelines"). The calling and noticing of an election for the submission of a ballot
measure to voters is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines 15378. The tax
submitted to the voters is a general tax that can be used for any governmental purpose; it is not
a commitment to any particular action or actions.
As such, under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(4), the tax is not a project within the
meaning of CEQA because it creates a government funding mechanism that does not involve any
commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on
the environment. If revenue generated by the tax were used for a purpose that would have such
an effect, the City of El Segundo would undertake the required CEQA review for that particular
project. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15060 CEQA analysis is not required.
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. Pursuant to the California Constitution, Article XIIIC(2)(b)
and California Elections Code § 9217, if a majority of the voters voting in the election on this
measure vote in favor of the adoption of this measure, this ordinance shall be deemed valid and
binding and shall be considered adopted upon the date that the vote is declared by the City
Council and shall go into effect ten (10) days after that date.
This Ordinance was approved and adopted by the People of the City of El Segundo at the City's
November 8, 2022 statewide election.
This Ordinance was approved by Declaration of the vote by the City Council of El Segundo on

ordinance (hereafter also referenced as "measure") establishing a Cannabis Business Tax. The
proposed ordinance submitted to the voters is entitled "An Ordinance of the City of El Segundo,
California Adding Chapter 17 (Cannabis Business Tax) to Title 4 of the El Segundo Municipal
Code Establishing a Tax on Cannabis and Hemp Business Activities within the City." The full text

recreation, shall the City tax cannabis or hemp businesses at annual
YES
rates not to exceed $10.00 per canopy square foot for cultivation

Page 160 of 168
Section 8. California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council hereby finds and
determines that this resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Public
Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. ("CEQA") and 14 Cal. Code Re. Sections 15000 et seq.
("CEQA Guidelines"). The calling and noticing of an election for the submission of a ballot
measure to voters is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines 15378. The tax
submitted to the voters is a general tax that can be used for any governmental purpose; it is not
a commitment to any particular action or actions.
As such, under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(4), the tax is not a project within the
meaning of CEQA because it creates a government funding mechanism that does not involve
any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical
impact on the environment. If revenue generated by the tax were used for a purpose that
would have such an effect, the City of El Segundo would undertake the required CEQA review
for that particular project. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15060 CEQA analysis
is not required.
Section 9. Canvass. The Board of Supervisors is authorized to canvass the returns of
the Election pursuant to Section 10411 of the Elections Code.
Section 10. Conduct of Election. Pursuant to Section 10002 of the Elections Code, the
Board of Supervisors is requested to permit the County Clerk to render all services specified by
Section 10418 of the Elections Code relating to the election, for which services the City agrees
to reimburse the County, in accordance with current County pro -rations and allocation
procedures.

Resolution with the County Registrar Recorder/County Clerk Office.
Section 12. Analysis and Argument. The City Attorney shall prepare an impartial
analysis of the measure. Any person or persons may file an argument either for or against the
ballot measure. An argument for or against the measure shall not exceed 300 words in length. If
more than one argument is submitted for the measure, or more than one argument against the
measure, the City Clerk shall select the argument to be included with the ballot materials.
Rebuttal arguments shall be permitted pursuant to applicable law.
Section 13. Implementation. The City Clerk and City Manager are authorized to take all
actions as necessary to effectuate the purposes of this resolution and the election. The City
Clerk and City Attorney are authorized to make any typographical, clerical, and non -substantive
