but may be presented to the City Council at the first meeting after delivery.
In government finance, a warrant is a written order to pay that instructs a federal, state,
county, or city government treasurer to pay the warrant holder on demand or after a
specific date. Such warrants look like checks and clear through the banking system like

ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.8
TITLE:
Amendment to Contract with Wittman Enterprises, LLC for Ambulance Transport Billing
Services
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract amendment with Wittman
Enterprises, LLC to expand the scope of services and increase the total contract
amount to $80,000.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 Budget
Amount Budgeted: $80,000
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number: 001-400-3203-6214
BACKGROUND:
Wittman Enterprises, LLC provides ambulance transport billing services to the City of El
Segundo. Fire Department administration is seeking to expand the scope of services to
include fire inspection billing and collection services, and distribution of City Notices of
Privacy practices.
DISCUSSION:
Based on excellent services delivered to the City of El Segundo, and the high demand
for fire prevention and fire administrative services in the City, staff recommends
expanding the scope of services with Wittman Enterprises, LLC to include fire
inspection billing and collection services, and distribution of City Notices of Privacy
Practices. The additional services will increase the contract sum to a total not to exceed
Page 25 of 250
Agreement Amendment for Wittman Enterprises, LLC
November 1, 2022
Page 2 of 3
$80,000 for FY 22-23.
Fire inspection billing and collection services include invoice processing for annual fire
inspections and annual operational permits. The fee per processed inspection is $18 as
noted in Attachment 1, and will be recovered by the City via the Fire
Prevention/Operations Inspection fee adopted in the FY 22-23 Master Fee Schedule
(FR-004A), which allows the City to bill for any outside costs. Transferring this service to
Wittman Enterprises will save an average of 40 administrative hours per month on data
entry, generating and distributing invoices, and following up on past due invoices. The
time savings will allow fire prevention staff to better serve the community in areas such
as plan check applications and payment processing, scheduling inspections, and
responding to public inquiries.
Distribution of City Notices of Privacy Practices includes processing and mailing Privacy
Practices to patients transported by ambulance in accordance with The Healthcare
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The fee for distributed notices will
be approximately $1.25 per mailed notice (pass -through cost only) as noted in
Attachment 1. Transferring this service to Wittman Enterprises will save an average of
ten administrative hours per month on data collection and manually mailing privacy
notices. The time savings will allow fire administration staff to more efficiently serve the
department in areas such as contract administration, grants management, public inquiry
response, and various other administrative tasks.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 1: Enhance Customer Service, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Communication
Objective 1A: El Segundo provides unparalleled service to all customers.
Goal 3: Promote a Quality Workforce Through Teamwork and Organizational
Efficiencies
Objective: El Segundo is an employer of choice and consistently hires for the future,
with a workforce that is inspired, world -class, engaged and innovative.
Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability
Objective 5A: El Segundo promotes economic growth and vitality for business and the
community.
Objective 5B: El Segundo approaches its work in a financially strategic and responsible
way.

ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.9
TITLE:
Amendment to Contract with DownStream Services, Inc. for On -Call Pump Station
Repair Services
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract amendment with DownStream
Services, Inc. for an additional $169,605.23 for on -call pump station repair
services.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Included in Adopted FY 2022/23 Budget
Amount Budgeted: $300,000
Additional Appropriation: None.
Account Number(s): 502-400-4301-6206 (Sewer Enterprise Fund, Contractual Service)
BACKGROUND:
The City of El Segundo has one water pump station, three storm water and nine
sanitary sewer pump stations, which require routine maintenance to ensure safe,
efficient and effective operation of these pump stations. On December 17, 2019, the
City Council awarded a five-year "Maintenance and On -call Repairs" contract to
DownStream Services, Inc., for an amount of $538,920. This contract is currently in its
fourth year, and the Downstream Services, Inc. firm has been performing satisfactorily
and within the budget to keep these pump stations operational and in good working
condition.

Page 2 of 2
DISCUSSION:
An annual examination of all the pump stations last month revealed that a couple of
sanitary pump stations are in need of repair. The work consists of repairs to the pump
shafts, motors, various valves, hardware, and fittings at the sanitary sewer pump station
#6 (located at Palm Avenue, between California Street and Washington Street), and
sanitary sewer pump station #8 (located at Center Street, between Grand Avenue and
Franklin Avenue.) These necessay repairs are within the scope of the contract.
However, the quantities of needed materials, parts, and labor exceed the budgeted
amount. Additionally, the cost of materials and parts has increased since this contract
was executed in 2019. The additional funds which are needed for these repairs exceed
the contract amount by $169,605.23.
To keep these pump stations functioning as designed and to avoid additional risk, staff
recommend that the City Council approve the recommended actions as noted. There
are sufficient funds available in the Sewer Enterprise Fund for this needed repair work.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 2: Support Community Safety and Preparedness
Objective: El Segundo is a safe and prepared city.
Goal 4: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology
Objective 4A: El Segundo's physical infrastructure supports an inviting and safe
community.

Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.10
Amendment to Contract with Union Construction for City Hall Fire Alarm System
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a standard Public Works Construction
Contract Amendment with Union Construction Company for $133,464.20 for a
fire alarm system in City Hall (Project No. PW 21-11), and authorize an additional
$10,000 as contingency funds for potential unforeseen conditions.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Included in Adopted FY 2022/23 Budget
Amount Budgeted: $937,989.20 ($143,464.20 in FY 2022-23 & $794,545 from FY 2021-
22)
Additional Appropriation: No
Account Numbers: $794,545 from 708-400-2403-8807 (Trust Fund for Permit Center
Surcharge) and $143,464.20 from 301-400-8201-8209 (City Wide Facilities Repairs)
BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 2021, City Council awarded a standard Public Works construction
contract to Union Construction Company in the amount of $662,525 for the Civic Center
Maintenance and Repairs project, and authorized an additional $132,000 as
contingency for potential unforeseen conditions. The scope includes the following
rehabilitation work within City Hall:

Rehabilitation
• Human Resources (HR) Department Office Relocation
• West Conference Room Rehabilitation

Amendment to Contract with Union Construction for City Hall Fire Alarm System

Page 2 of 3
During the construction, it was decided that the HR Department would remain in its
current location, with some needed modifications. Construction for this project began in
January 2022, and phase 1 of this project is substantially completed.
DISCUSSION:
The Fire Department inspected the existing fire alarm system during the construction of
this project and determined that the Fire Code and life/safety concerns require
replacement of the fire alarm system in order to facilitate building permit issuance for
this project. Consequently, the existing contract must be amended to include the
required fire alarm system installation, in connection with the project work. Section 17 of
the Agreement authorizes amendments approved, in writing, by the City and contractor.
There is sufficient funding in the Capital Improvement Citywide Facilities Repairs
account to fund the fire alarm system replacement.
With the City Council's approval, the installation work is anticipated to begin in
November 2022 and the work will be substantially completed by January 2023.
It is to be noted that phase 2 of this project will consist of some modifications and
improvements for the following departments:
1. Human Resources
2. Community Development
3. Public Works
4. Finance
5. City Clerk's Office
These modifications are being designed at this time and once the final drawings are
prepared, staff will come back to the City Council for the second amendment to the
contract for the construction and installment of these improvements.

City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.11
Amendment to Agreement with Van Lingen Towing to Extend the Term for Towing and
Storage Services and Waive Bidding Requirements
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an amendment to the agreement with Van Lingen Towing to extend the
term for two years (with an option to extend for an additional two years) to
provide towing and storage services and waive bidding requirements pursuant to
El Segundo Municipal Code § 1-7-9(A).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approximately $17,500 in annual revenue.
BACKGROUND:
The City contracts with a towing company to provide towing and storage services for
vehicles impounded by the El Segundo Police Department ("ESPD"). Some reasons for
impounding a vehicle include criminal investigations, arrests, and vehicle code
violations.
Since contracting with Van Lingen Towing in December 2016, Van Lingen Towing
averages 730 calls for service each year. Of those calls for service, ESPD requests Van
Lingen Towing to impound an average of 500 vehicles per year. Of those impounded,
48 calls involved medium to heavy duty impounds which required use of a rotator heavy
duty tow truck. The City charges the towing vendor a 10% administrative surcharge of
the gross receipts for all towing services and vehicle storage generated within the City.
This amounts to approximately $17,500 a year since contracting with Van Lingen
Towing, which has provided services to the City since December 1, 2016. The current
Page 40 of 250
Van Lingen Towing
November 1, 2022
Page 2 of 2
agreement with Van Lingen Towing is set to expire December 1, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
Over the past six years, Van Lingen Towing has met and exceeded ESPD's needs. In
addition to exemplary customer service, rapid response times due to the opening of
their new dispatch center which features multiple backup systems to avoid any
downtime, and state of the art indoor secure evidence bays, Van Lingen Towing is the
only tow company within an 11 mile radius that offers in-house oversized towing
services and secure evidence storage bays. As of today's date, Van Lingen Towing
remains the only towing company that offers both of these services.
This requirement is essential for ESPD based on our needs. Increasing our wait times
by contracting with another tow company that must subcontract the oversized towing is
unacceptable. This was most recently evident when a metro bus collided with a trailer
and overturned, blocking all eastbound Imperial Highway from Douglas Street. Van
Lingen Towing was quickly on scene with their oversized Rotator tow trucks to clear the
roadway. Lastly, Van Lingen Towing will maintain the current impound rates the same
as the current contract, despite the increased costs of almost all aspects of their
business.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the amendment, find that the City's best
interests are served by this amendment without a competitive selection process
(pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code § 1-7-9(A)), and authorize the City Manager to
execute the amendment with Van Lingen Towing.

Resolution Approving the Vacation of Hornet Way Street from Imperial Highway to
118th Street
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Conduct a public hearing.
2. Adopt the Resolution Vacating the Hornet Way Street from Imperial Highway to
118th Street.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
One of the property owners of the adjacent lots surrounding Hornet Way Street
("Applicant") has made a request to vacate Hornet Way from Imperial Highway to 118th
Street. Adjacent property owners have expressed their consent to this request. On
September 22, 2022, the Community Development Department reviewed this vacation
request and found it to be consistent with the City General Plan, outlined in the attached
Resolution. All the required public notifications, including installation of proper signs,
were provided per code requirements, and the City did not receive any opposition to this
vacation request. The applicant is seeking the approval of this street vacation by the
City Council.
Page 42 of 250
Resolution Approving the Vacation of Hornet Way Street from Imperial Highway
to 118th Street
November 1, 2022
Page 2 of 3
DISCUSSION:
California Streets and Highways Code § 8300, and subsequent sections, authorizes the
City Council to vacate all or part of a street or public easement within the City.
Although Hornet Way is an open and publicly accessible street, there is little general
public use for this roadway. Further, vacating this roadway will facilitate private access
and parking for all adjacent property owners. Hornet Way dead -ends just south of 118th
Street and the existing on -street parking spaces serve as parking for visitors and
employees of adjacent properties. Additionally, the El Segundo Circulation Element
does not identify Hornet Way as a roadway with any proposed improvement. Further, a
focused traffic impact study was conducted to identify any adverse impact of vacating
Hornet Way between 118th Street and Imperial Highway. The result of this study
showed minimal impact if this roadway was vacated. It is to be noted that if and when
this street is vacated, the applicant will be responsible for the maintenance cost of this
roadway.
This vacation only applies to the surface of the street, and all public utilities will remain
beneath the street surface. As part of the vacation process, the City will retain a blanket
easement for maintenance of all public utilities within the vacated area. Subsequent to
the vacation approval, the applicant plans to obtain a permit to improve the hardscape
and landscape of the area in an attempt to create an aesthetically pleasing
environment. Further, the area will be secured by installing fences and gates with
emergency key boxes (Knox Box) per Police & Fire Departments requirement. The
utilities will have access to the area for the maintenance of their facilities at all times.
The City Attorney's Office has prepared the attached proposed resolution ordering this
vacation. Staff recommends the City Council to adopt this resolution. Subsequently, all
necessary documents will be fully executed and recorded at the County.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 1: Enhance Customer Service, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Communication
Objective 1A: El Segundo provides unparalleled service to all customers.

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Michael Allen, AICP, Community Development Director
DATE: September 22, 2022
SUBJECT: General Plan Consistency Finding for Hornet Way Street
Vacation
Prepared bv: Eduardo Schonborn, AICP, Plannina Manaae."�
Introduction, -
The City's Planning Division is in receipt of a request to vacate Hornet Way between
Imperial Highway and 118th Street. The Planning Division's function is to determine
whether the proposed street vacation is consistent with the goals and policies of the El
Segundo General Plan.
Existing Conditions:
Hornet Way comprises an approximately 60-foot-wide roadway with two travel lanes
(one northbound and one southbound) and angled parking stalls on each side of the
street. The right-of-way dead -ends immediately south of 1181h Street. Although Hornet
Way is a public road, it exists primarily as an access way to the Applicant's parking lot
on the east and its buildings on the west, with little use beyond access because no other
businesses to the south take access from this right-of-way. As a result of the existing
usage and the existing configuration that effectively dead -ends immediately to the east
and west of the Applicant's property, the existing on -street parking spaces serve as de
facto parking for visitors to the Applicant's buildings, and Hornet Way.
Analysis:
The California Government Code (Sections 65401 and 65103) requires that all public
works projects be consistent with the City's General Plan. Further, State Streets and
Highways Code ("SHC") Section 8324 authorizes the City Council to vacate a public
right-of-way, by resolution, if it finds no current or prospective public use for the property
at issue.
Page 57 of 250
Memorandum: General Plan Consistency Finding, Hornet Way Street Vacation
September_22, 202.2
As described above, although Hornet Way is an open and publicly accessible street, there
is no general public use for Hornet Way as it comprises, in effect, private access and parking
for the Applicant's properties. Exhibit C-2 of the City's General Plan Circulation Element
illustrates the dead-end and limited -access nature of Hornet Way. The street is classified
a Local Street in the Genera[ Plan Circulation Element, functioning to principally provide
vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle access to property abutting the public right-of-way with
movement of traffic acting only as a secondary function. However, the Circulation Element
illustrates that vehicle use of Hornet Way was not sufficient to merit counts for planning
or environmental impact purposes. Lastly, the Circulation Element does not identify Hornet
Way as a Planned or Funded Roadway Improvement nor in the Bicycle Master Plan, which
is furthered by it not being identified in the Capital Improvement Program.
Since the dead-end configuration has remained, and the historic limited use narrowed
(due to the de facto function of the right-of-way as providing access primarily fo r t h e
Applicant's buildings and properties), the street vacation is appropriate as it not contrary
to the City's General Plan goals and policies. Specifically:
Goal C1 — Provision for a safe, convenient, and cost effective circulation system.
Utilities remain beneath the right-of-way; however, the requested vacation applies only
to the surface use. City will retain easements for maintenance of all public infrastructure
beneath the existing right-of-way, while shifting the burden and cost of surface
maintenance to the Applicant.
Policy C1-1.15 — Pursue and protect adequate right-of-way to accommodate future
circulation system improvements.
As a result of the existing configuration as a dead-end street, and the on -street parking
spaces serve as de facto parking for visitors to the Applicant's buildings, Hornet Way no
longer serves the purpose of its conveyance for public use to the City. Since Hornet
Way is a dead-end street that functions to serve the Applicant's buildings and
properties, it does not function as part of the circulation system and is therefore not
listed as a Planned or Funded Roadway Improvement, not listed for improvements in the
City's CIP, and is not identified as part of the Bicycle Master Plan.
Conclusion:
Therefore, in accordance with Government Code §§ 65401 and 65103, staff has reviewed
the proposal to vacate the Hornet Way right-of-way, and finds the proposal is consistent
with the goals and policies of the El Segundo General Plan for the reasons identified
above.

{.,rVoy City Council Agenda Statement
ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.13
TITLE:
Phase One Improvements of Recreation Park
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Provide direction on conceptual plan for Phase One improvements at Recreation
Park.
2. Provide direction on priority for each project within Phase One.
3. Provide direction on project funding priorities.
4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost to implement all of the proposed Phase One improvements is
$5,000,000-$8,000,000. The adopted FY 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Program
includes a $1,000,000 reserve for Recreation Park projects to be determined. In
addition, there is $750,000 in carryover appropriations for the Teen Center, Skate Park,
and Basketball Court improvements. The City also has allocated approximately
$500,000 in Measure A funds that expire in 2024 to be utilized for park improvements.
Final funding will be determined and presented to Council following development a
master plan of improvements based on Council direction this evening.
BACKGROUND:
In 1954, the City of El Segundo constructed Recreation Park which included two
baseball fields, a softball field, a two-story community clubhouse, tennis and basketball
courts, concession stands, and picnic space.
Over the years, the City has continued to improve and add to Recreation Park,
constructing additional buildings, including the Checkout Building (1961), Joslyn Center
(1966), Teen Center (1980), and volleyball courts, pickleball courts, a paddle tennis
Page 61 of 250
Staff Presentations
November 1, 2022
Page 2 of 6
court, a roller hockey rink, a community garden, and more.
In recent years, the Council has had several discussions about updating the park in
order to continue serving the evolving needs of the residents of El Segundo. Due to age
and deferred maintenance, significant investment is needed to upgrade or replace
existing Recreation Park facilities.
On February 18, 2020, City Council authorized staff to issue a Request for Proposals
(RFP) to conduct a Recreation Park Needs Assessment, including public engagement,
recreation and parks trend analysis, comprehensive review of City recreation
programming, facility condition assessments, accessibility survey and American
Disabilities Act requirements, master plan recommendations and cost estimates. The
City Council directed staff and the consultant to complete the outreach and analysis
faster than the nine months outlined in the original proposal if possible. In response to
this request, the project schedule was revised to seven months.
On October 20, 2021, RJM Design Group presented summary information about their
analysis and professional recommendations to the Recreation and Parks Commission.
On November 16, 2021, RJM Design Group presented the Recreation Park Needs
Assessment to City Council. While the City received and filed the item, the Council was
clear that they felt the document lacked the clarity needed to project a clear path
forward. Council directed staff to conduct meetings with the City Manager and individual
Councilmembers to further discuss the Needs Assessment and proposed
recommendations. The Council also directed staff to set up a joint meeting of the City
Council and the Recreation and Parks Commission so that further discussion could take
place.
In June and July of 2022, the newly hired Recreation, Parks and Library Director
reviewed the Recreation Park Needs Assessment document, viewed the November 16,
2021 City Council meeting, consulted with the Interim Community Services Director,
and engaged City staff in further discussion about the findings and recommendation of
the Needs Assessment. It became apparent that there is some uncertainty in the
findings of the Needs Assessment, particularly with regard to the notion of demolishing
three current, specific use facilities to build one multi -use, multi -level Community
Center. Staff who interact with the public users of the park regularly expressed concern
to City staff that the survey sample may not have represented those who actually utilize
the park. Collectively, Recreation and Parks staff felt strongly that the park users would
like to see Recreation Park maintain its current layout with independent facilities that are
geared toward serving specific age groups.
On August 31, 2022, a joint meeting of the City Council and Recreation and Parks
Commission was held at the Joslyn Center to consider two options for moving ahead
with park updates.
Page 62 of 250
Staff Presentations
November 1, 2022
Page 3 of 6
At the joint meeting of the City Council and Recreation and Parks Commission, staff
sought direction on next steps and shared two options for moving forward:
OPTION ONE
Option one recommended a phased approach wherein renovations, repairs and
upgrades are made to facilities and amenities as funding becomes available. Option
one maintains the current layout of Recreation Park with each facility continuing to live
in it's current location and serve it's current population (i.e.. Teens, Seniors). While
there are some proposed changes to park amenities, the overall layout of the park will
remain true to its traditional design.
OPTION TWO
Option two recommended the demolition of the three existing buildings to be replaced
with a multi -level, multi -use facility that would be located in the footprint of the Gordon
Clubhouse. The demolition of the buildings would create additional space that would
likely need to be considered for future amenities or uses. Option Two would require a
large amount of funding to be acquired at one time to complete the demo and the new
build within a relatively similar time frame so as not to disrupt services to the
community.
At the joint meeting, the Council and Commission agreed to utilize the Option One
approach and directed staff to return with a conceptual plan for Phase One
improvements including:

Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.14
TITLE:
Fire Department Automatic and Mutual Aid Report
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive and file the Fire Department Automatic and Mutual Aid Report.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this matter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Through the local reciprocal mutual aid agreements, each agency is responsible for
their own costs. When the El Segundo Fire Department ("ESFD") responds to a mutual
aid request in the state as part of a strike team, the City is reimbursed by the agency
having jurisdiction for overtime and apparatus costs, plus a ten percent administrative
fee.
BACKGROUND:
The first California Fire Service and Rescue Emergency Mutual Aid Plan was prepared
and adopted in 1950 as an annex of the California State Civil Defense and Disaster
Relief Plan. The concept of mutual aid in California is based on a common
understanding that each individual community cannot gear up for every possible
emergency, and that mutual aid is the best way for communities is to make sure help is
available when needed. The system creates a structural framework for offering and
receiving assistance when a community's emergency response needs outstrip its own
available resources.
All 58 counties and nearly all local governments within the state, including El Segundo,
are signatories to the master mutual aid agreement. The master agreement covers the
loan of equipment, facilities, and personnel in a variety of emergency situations, not only
those resulting from fires. It provides for mutual aid "to prevent and combat the effects
of disasters which may result from such calamities as flood, fire, earthquake, pestilence,
war, sabotage, and riot," including assistance in the areas of "rescue, relief, evacuation,
Page 67 of 250
Fire Department Automatic and Mutual Aid Agreements
November 1, 2022
Page 2 of 4
rehabilitation, and reconstruction."
The agreement stipulates that each signatory will:
1. Develop a plan for effectively mobilizing its resources and facilities, both public
and private, to cope with any type of disaster and to submit it to the State
Disaster Council for approval;
2. Provide mutual aid assistance through the system without reimbursement unless
otherwise provided for in existing agreements between parties, legislation, or
regulations;
3. Furnish resources and facilities in emergencies — fire, police, medical and health,
communications and transportation — to each other in accordance with duly
adopted mutual aid plans as long as furnishing such aid does not unreasonably
deplete its own resources, facilities, and services;
4. Conduct training and exercises in accordance with duly adopted mutual aid plans
to ensure that it can provide effective assistance when called upon;
5. Furnish mutual aid "in all cases of local peril or emergency and in all cases in
which a STATE OF EXTREME EMERGENCY has been proclaimed"; and,
6. Abide by mutual aid agreements the State of California enters into with other
States or the Federal Government. To facilitate effective and efficient response,
an inventory of all fire service personnel, apparatus, and equipment in the state is
maintained and updated.
El Segundo has a mutual aid agreement under the State of California Office of
Emergency Services Mutual Aid Plan. El Segundo is in Region 1, Los Angeles County —
Area G. Fire Mutual Aid is coordinated among Area G cities, including: El Segundo,
Gardena, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lomita, Manhattan
Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills,
Rolling Hills Estates, and the City of Torrance
When the City of El Segundo needs mutual aid, the first protocol is to initiate automatic
aid using an "alarm" (formerly "plan") system. The "alarm" system is a three -tiered
response system developed by the Area G Fire Chiefs' Association (1st, 2nd, 3rd
alarm). When this automatic aid system is exhausted, the El Segundo Fire Department
incident commander will contact the Area G Fire Coordinator and request formal mutual
aid. If the Area G Fire Coordinator can not meet the resource request, the Area G Fire
Coordinator would contact the Operational Area Fire Coordinator for additional
resources. If unsuccessful, the Operational Area Fire Coordinator would contact the
following agencies: Los Angeles County Fire Department, Los Angeles City Fire
Department, Manhattan Beach Fire Department, Redondo Beach Fire Department or
Torrance Fire Department.
Page 68 of 250
Fire Department Automatic and Mutual Aid Agreements
November 1, 2022
Page 3 of 4
The El Segundo Fire Department has automatic and/or mutual aid agreements in place
with the following agencies:
• Los Angeles Fire Department
• County of Los Angeles Fire Department
• Area G (Comprised of the 14 cities in the South Bay Region)
Automatic Aid is resource assistance that is dispatched across jurisdictional boundaries
without request (i.e., automatically) according to a contractual agreement between the
agencies. This allows a response from the closest station. Example: Dockweiler Beach
Mutual Aid is an agreement among emergency responders to lend assistance across
jurisdictional boundaries. This may occur due to an emergency response that exceeds
local resources, such as a disaster or a multiple -alarm fire.
DISCUSSION:
A statewide mutual aid system, operating within the framework of the master mutual aid
agreement, allows for the progressive mobilization of resources to and from emergency
response agencies, local governments, operational areas, regions, and state with the
intent of providing adequate resources to save lives and property. Mutual Aid is a
critical component of providing effective emergency services in El Segundo to maintain
response times within the guidelines of an effective response.
The total number of incidents where mutual aid is given or received by El Segundo
averages approximately less than 3% of total calls per year. The attached report
includes the number of mutual aid calls given and received by neighboring agencies
over the last three years.
Mutual Aid Provided and Received by ESFD:
• In 2019, ESFD provided mutual aid for 36 incidents.
• In 2019, ESFD received mutual aid for 15 incidents.
• In 2020, ESFD provided mutual aid for 41 incidents.
• In 2020, ESFD received mutual aid for 29 incidents.
• In 2021, ESFD provided mutual aid for 22 incidents.
• In 2021, ESFD received mutual aid for 22 incidents.
These incidents included: building fires, brush fires, EMS calls (including vehicle
accidents with injury), and biological hazards. These response numbers do not include
when ESFD was dispatched and canceled en route within a couple of minutes.

CITY OF LOS ANGELES AND THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement provide fire protection, medical services,
specialized and rescue services within their respective jurisdictional limits; and
WHEREAS, fire and rescue resources for the City of El Segundo are dispatched
through a central dispatch center known as South Bay Regional Communications
Center (RCC); and
WHEREAS, fire and rescue resources for the City of Los Angeles are dispatched
through a central dispatch center known as Metropolitan Fire Communications (MFC);
and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of El Segundo and Los Angeles to provide the most
expeditious response to suppress fires and render other emergency assistance; and
WHEREAS, each party is desirous of providing to the other a reasonable and reciprocal
exchange of emergency services on a day-to-day basis;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these mutual covenants, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Revisions
This Letter of Agreement may be revised or amended at any time by mutual agreement
of the Fire Chiefs of the El Segundo Fire Department (ELS) and the Los Angeles Fire
Department (LFD). All amendments to this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by
the Fire Chiefs or their duly designated Acting Fire Chiefs.

agencies shall be cause for reconsideration of the Agreement.
2. Term

3. Mutual Benefits
ELS and LFD intend that this Agreement will provide mutual benefits to each party. The
Fire Chiefs of ELS and LFD are hereby authorized to identify and revise as they deem
necessary any designated areas or types of response periodically as may be dictated
by changing conditions and the requirements of mutual benefits to each party.
4. Incident Command
In those instances where the assisting Department arrives before the jurisdictional
Department, the assisting Department will take the necessary action dictated by the
situation. However, it is assumed that the jurisdictional Department will arrive shortly
after the arrival of the assisting Department. Overall command of the incident will be
assumed by the jurisdictional Department upon its arrival at the scene. The highest-
ranking officer of the assisting Fire Department at the incident will become the Agency
Representative (AREP). The resources of the assisting Department will be released
from the scene as soon as practical by the jurisdictional Fire Department.
When it is deemed appropriate, the AREP may enter into Unified Command with the
jurisdictional Department's Incident Commander. It is understood that such a decision
may require approval from an Agency Administrator of the assisting and/or jurisdictional
Department.
A common and agreed upon communications plan shall be established and utilized by all
resources and Incident Commanders.
5. Commitment of Resources
It is mutually understood and agreed that this agreement does not relieve either party
from the necessity and obligation of using its own resources for furnishing fire and
rescue service within any part of its own jurisdiction, and that the assisting party's
response to a request for aid will be dependent upon the existing emergency conditions
within its own jurisdiction and the status of its resources.
6. Method of Requesting Aid
All requests for aid shall be via the respective dispatch center. Persons assigned to the
dispatch center for each Department are authorized to send and receive such requests
as per their respective operational procedures.
Page 94 of 250
LFD/ELS Automatic Aid Agreement (2022)
Page 4
7. Intent of Agreement
The intent of this Agreement is to provide the jurisdictional agency with a more efficient
and/or effective initial response to an emergency incident. The agreed upon resources
should only be utilized until the jurisdictional agency is able to relieve the assisting
agency with their own resources and/or obtain the appropriate emergency resources,
not to exceed a 12-hour period of time. If the agreed upon resources are not available
from the assisting agency at the time of the request from the jurisdictional agency, the
assisting agency need not respond.
8. Fire Incident Reporting
Each agency shall be responsible for obtaining needed information to complete fire
reports for incidents within their respective jurisdiction. Assisting units shall contact
jurisdictional units to provide appropriate information for completion of fire reports.
9. Training
Joint training exercises will be conducted periodically upon agreement by the parties
(minimum of one per year). These training exercises shall be coordinated with LFD and
ELS Battalion Commanders.
10. Services by Los Angeles Fire Department

jointly agreed upon by the Fire Chiefs of LFD and ELS, upon request by ELS to
designated areas located within the jurisdiction of El Segundo.

{.,rVoy City Council Agenda Statement
ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.15
TITLE:
Ordinance Amending El Segundo Municipal Code Title 13 to Adopt by Reference, with
Certain Local Amendments, Parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 the 2022 California
Building Standards Code; the 2021 International Property Maintenance and Swimming
Pool and Spa Codes; and the 2021 Uniform Solar, Hydronics, and Geothermal Code
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce the proposed Ordinance.
2. Schedule a public hearing for November 15, 2022 for the second reading and
adoption of the Ordinance.
3. Adopt a Resolution making certain findings to support local amendments to the
codes adopted by reference.
4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$25,000 for contract services with JAS Pacific to work with staff and prepare the relevant documents
for the adoption of 2022 California Building Code was included in the Adopted FY 22-23 Budget.
Amount Budgeted: $25,000
Additional Appropriation: $0
Account Number(s): 001-400-2403-6214 (Professional Services)
BACKGROUND:
Health & Safety Code Section 17958 requires the California Building Standards
Commission adopt and publish the California Building Standards Code (Title 24
California Code of Regulations) every three years and local governments are required
to enforce the codes after 180 days of the code's publication by the state. The
Page 116 of 250
Building Code Adoption by Reference
November 1, 2022
Page 2 of 3
construction codes include: the Building, Residential, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing,
Energy, Historical Building, Fire, Existing Building and Green Building codes. If the City
Council approves the Ordinances, then the most recent editions of the construction
codes with local amendments will be in effect with the City of El Segundo on January 1,
2023 as required by state law.
The following codes are proposed for adoption by reference with amendments. If
adopted, these codes will replace the prior editions of the model codes in El Segundo
Municipal Code Title 13.
• 2022 California Building Code
• 2022 California Residential Code
• 2022 California Electrical Code
• 2022 California Mechanical Code
• 2022 California Plumbing Code
• 2022 California Energy Code
• 2021 International Property Maintenance Code
• 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code
• 2022 California Fire Code
• 2022 California Existing Building Code
• 2022 California Green Building Standards Code
• 2022 California Historical Building Code
• 2021 Uniform Solar, Hydronics and Geothermal Code with amendments
DISCUSSION:
The Community Development Department and Fire Department recommend local
changes and modifications to the codes due to local, climatic, and geographic
conditions. Other modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature and
concern themselves with subjects that are not covered by the codes or are reasonably
necessary to safeguard life and property. The attached resolution sets forth the
necessary findings to enable the City to amend the new construction codes to reflect
our local conditions. The attached ordinance incorporates a list of amendments
proposed to be implemented in the El Segundo Municipal Code.
Government Code § 5002.3 requires the City Council to conduct a public hearing before
a second reading of ordinances that adopt the codes by reference. Staff recommends
that the City Council set a public hearing for the second reading of the Ordinance at its
November 15, 2022 meeting.
The Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act
(California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and the regulations
Page 117 of 250
Building Code Adoption by Reference
November 1, 2022
Page 3 of 3
promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the
"CEQA Guidelines") because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to an
existing code of construction -related regulations and specification of related procedures.
These will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory
standards or findings. Accordingly, the Ordinance (by itself) does not have the potential
to cause significant effects on the environment. This Ordinance is also an action being
taken for enhanced protection of the environment and is exempt from further review
under CEQA Guidelines § 15308.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 2: Support Community Safety and Preparedness
Objective: El Segundo is a safe and prepared city.
Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability
Objective 5A: El Segundo promotes economic growth and vitality for business and the
community.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION MAKING EXPRESS FINDINGS AND
DETERMINATIONS SUPPORTING CITY MODIFICATIONS
TO THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
BECAUSE OF LOCAL CLIMATIC, GEOLOGICAL OR
TOPOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS.
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. Certain building standards and other related model codes are adopted by the State
of California in the California Building Standards Code and become applicable
unless amended by the City pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 17958.
B. The City of El Segundo ("City") may adopt model codes by reference pursuant to
Government Code § 50022.2 et seq..
C. Health and Safety Code § 17958.5 authorizes the City Council to make reasonably
necessary changes or modifications to the state -adopted building codes, including
the California Building Standards Code, based on certain local conditions;
D. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 17958.7, it is in the public interest to adopt
the California Building Standards Code with the changes set forth in this Ordinance
E. The City's staff has determined and recommended that the modifications to the
California Building Standards Code, 2022 Edition, contained herein, are reasonably
necessary due to local conditions.
F. Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires the City Council to make express
findings of the necessity for modifications to the building standards contained in the
California Building Standards Code, 2022 Edition.
SECTION 2. Legislative Findings. The City further finds and declares as follows:
A. Pursuant to the requirements of Health and Safety Code § 17958.7, the City Council
expressly finds that the amendments and modifications to building standards
contained in the 2022 California Building Code, 2022 California Residential Code,
2022 California Electrical Code, 2022 California Mechanical Code, 2022 California
Plumbing Code, 2022 California Energy Code, 2022 California Fire Code, the 2022
California Green Building Standards Code, 2022 California Historical Building Code,
2022 California Existing Building Code, 2021 International Property Maintenance
Code, as adopted by the City are reasonably necessary due to the following local
climatic, geological or topographical conditions:
1. Climatic Conditions: The City is located in an area climatically classified as "semi-
arid" and prone to hot and dry Santa Ana winds of high velocity. Moreover, due
Page 119 of 250
to the arid nature of the area, the weather during the windy period tends to be
very warm and dry. Furthermore, the City is a densely populated area having
buildings and structures constructed within a climate system capable of
producing major winds, fire and rain related disasters, including but not limited to
those caused by the Santa Ana winds and El Nino (or La Nina) subtropical -like
weather. Because of the described climatic conditions, the City and the
surrounding cities have historically suffered from occasional structural fires.
These have often been difficult to control due to the dry winds carrying sparks
and cinders to surrounding structures. These winds constitute a contributing
factor, which causes small fires originating in high -density development presently
being constructed in the City, which spread quickly and create the need for an
increased level of fire protection. This added protection, including, but not limited
to on -site protection, will supplement normal Fire Department response available
in new development, and provide immediate fire protection for life and safety of
multiple -occupancy occupants during fire occurrence.
2. Topographical Conditions: The City is a densely populated area having buildings
and structures constructed within relatively flat and hilly topography causing
structures close to develop heat island conditions due to urban development and
therefore needs to be incorporated into the code to assure that new buildings and
structures and additions or alterations to existing building or structures are
designed and constructed in accordance with the scope and objectives of the
California Codes. Traffic and circulation congested in urban areas often place
Fire Department response time to emergencies at risk. This condition makes the
need for enhanced on -site protection for property occupants necessary. The dry
weather conditions, combined with the relatively hilly topography of the City is
very hazardous to the surrounding highly populated areas in as far as flame
spread is concerned. Because of the above -described topographic conditions,
the City and the surrounding cities have historically suffered from occasional
structural fires. These have often been difficult to control due to the dry winds
carrying sparks and cinders to surrounding structures.
3. Geological Conditions: The City is a densely populated area located in the
greater Los Angeles/Long Beach region having buildings constructed over and
near a vast array of fault systems capable of producing major earthquakes,
including but not limited to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. During a major
earthquake, emergency resources would be extremely taxed, and the ability to
respond to such emergencies would be complicated. Local standards in excess
of statewide minimums will assist in reducing risks associated with earthquakes
and the consequent disruption of traffic flow. Due to the large number of tall
buildings in this region as well as the increased fire -life safety associated with
such a seismic failure, the proposed modification to have a higher minimum base
seismic shear consistent with previous editions of the building codes need to be
incorporated into the code to assure that new buildings and additions or
alterations to existing buildings are designed and constructed in accordance with
the scope and objectives of the International Codes.

B. The City Council finds that the following table sets forth the 2022 California
Building Standards Code provisions constituting building standards that have
been modified pursuant to Ordinance No. , and the associated local
climatic, topographical, and/or geological conditions described in Section 2(A)
above:

A re -inspection fee in the amount set by City Council resolution may be assessed
for each inspection or re -inspection when such portion of work for which inspection
is called is incomplete or when required corrections are not made. This section is
not to be interpreted as requiring re -inspection fees the first time a job is rejected
for failure to comply with the requirements of this code, but as controlling the
practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re -
inspection. Re -inspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card
is not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans are not
readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which
inspection is requested, or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the

adopt reasonable rules and regulations for conducting its investigations and will
render all its decisions and findings on contested matters, in writing to the building
official, with a duplicate copy for any appellant or contestant affected by such
decision or finding, and may recommend to the city council appropriate new
legislation.
Three members of the board constitute a quorum. The Planning Chairperson is the
board's chairperson and in the chairperson's absence the board will select a
temporary chairperson.
The city will assess a filing fee set by City Council resolution, or a higher amount
set by resolution, at the time that an appellant file appeal of any order, decisions,
or determination made by the building official relative to the application and
interpretation of this code. The filing fee is refundable should the appellant prevail
in a decision by the board. The appeal must be taken by filing a written notice of
appeal, in letterform, to the board of appeals. The board's decision constitutes the

regular meetings, and all meetings shall be special meetings noticed pursuant to
California Government Code Section 54956. The Access Board of Appeals shall
conduct its meetings in accordance with procedures established by resolution of
the City Council. The Access Board of Appeals may establish its own rules of
procedure or by-laws consistent with City Council resolutions and ordinances.
C. Any person aggrieved by a determination made by the Building Official or
Fire Code Official in administering or enforcing the portions of this chapter related
to access to "public accommodations or facilities" (pursuant to California Health
and Safety Code Section 19955, et seq.) may appeal the determination to the
Access Board of Appeals. The appeal shall be filed with the Building Official no
later than 10 days after receipt of written notice of the determination and the appeal
provisions of this section. Upon receipt of an appeal by the Building Official, a
hearing shall be scheduled before the Access Board of Appeals. The Access
Board of Appeals shall consider relevant evidence presented at the hearing, and
shall render a final written decision within a reasonably prompt time after

1206.6: RESIDENTIAL NOISE INSULATION STANDARDS (Airport Noise
Sources)
1206.6.01 Noise Insulation Requirements for New Construction.
1206.6.02 Purpose and Scope. The purpose of this section is to establish
minimum noise insulation performance standards for new residential dwelling units
and additions of habitable rooms to existing residential dwelling units to protect
public health, safety, and welfare from the effects of excessive noise, including
without limitation, indoor quality of life, speech interference, and sleep disruption.
1206.6.03 Applicability. This section applies to all newly constructed residences
and habitable room additions to existing residence
1206.6.04 Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following words must have
the following meaning:
"Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL)" means the noise measure defined in
21 Code of California Regulations § 5001(d), and any successor regulation or
amendment.
"Habitable Room" means a room that is a space in a structure for living, sleeping,
eating, or cooking. Bathrooms, toilet compartments, closets, halls, storage or utility
space, garages, and similar areas are not considered habitable space.
"LAX" means Los Angeles International Airport. "Noise Impact Boundary for LAX"
means the area around LAX as defined in 21 California code of regulations
§ 5001(1), and any successor regulation or amendment. The city's building safety
department must at all times maintain a current map of the noise impact boundary.
The latest published map by LAWA located at the Building Safety Counter shall be
used as the basis for determination. "Residence" means any occupancy group R
building as used in El Segundo title 13 of the El Segundo municipal code.
1206.6.05: Standards.
Any new residence or addition of one or more habitable rooms to an existing
residence that is within the noise impact boundary for LAX must be designed to
ensure that internal noise levels due to LAX do not exceed 45 dB CNEL. This
standard may be satisfied in two ways: (1) by performing the acoustical analysis
described in section 1206.6.06, below, or (2) by employing the prescribed
construction methods described in section 1206.6.07, below.
1206.6.06: Acoustical Analysis.
10
Page 137 of 250
A building permit application for a new residence or addition of one or more
habitable rooms to an existing residence must comply with the minimum noise
insulation performance standards established in this section if it includes an
acoustical analysis demonstrating that the proposed design will ensure that
internal noise levels due to LAX aircraft noise will not exceed 45 dB CNEL. The
acoustical analysis shall be proven to meet the standard by providing post-
construction/pre-occupancy acoustic measurement to verify compliance with the
45 dB CNEL standard. The Building Official has the discretion to implement
policies that meet the intent of this code section.
A. The acoustical analysis must be prepared by a person experienced in
the field of acoustical engineering. The analysis must consider and include:
the topographical relationship between LAX aircraft noise sources and the
dwelling site, the characteristics of those noise sources, predicted noise
spectra and levels at the exterior of the dwelling site, the basis for this
prediction (measured or obtained from published data), the noise insulation
measures to be employed, and the effectiveness of the proposed noise
insulation measures.
B. If the interior allowable noise levels are to be met by requiring that
windows be unopenable or closed, the design for the structure must also
specify a ventilation or air-conditioning system to provide a habitable interior
environment, having at least 2 air exchanges per hour for the affected
rooms. The ventilation system must not compromise the interior room noise
reduction.
1206.6.07 Prescribed Construction Methods.
A building permit application for a new residence or addition of one or more
habitable rooms to an existing residence must comply with the minimum noise
insulation performance standards established in this section if the design

perpendicular to the slope contours.
FOUNDATION is concrete or masonry which supports a building, including
footings, stem walls, retaining walls, and grade beams.
FOUNDATION EXTENDING IN THE DOWNHILL DIRECTION is a foundation
running downhill and approximately perpendicular to the uphill foundation.
HILLSIDE BUILDING is any building or portion thereof constructed on or into a
slope steeper than one unit vertical in three units horizontal (33.3%). If only a
19
Page 146 of 250
portion of the building is supported on or into the slope, these regulations apply to
the entire building.

standards for new residential dwelling units and additions of habitable rooms to
existing residential dwelling units to protect public health, safety, and welfare from
71
Page 198 of 250
the effects of excessive noise, including without limitation, indoor quality of life,
speech interference, and sleep disruption.
R341.3 Applicability.
This section applies to all newly constructed residences and habitable room
additions to existing residences.
R341.4 Definitions.
For purposes of this section, the following words must have the following meaning:
"Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL)" means the noise measure defined in
21 Code of California Regulations § 5001(d), and any successor regulation or
amendment.
"Habitable Room" means a room that is a space in a structure for living, sleeping,
eating, or cooking. Bathrooms, toilet compartments, closets, halls, storage or utility
space, garages, and similar areas are not considered habitable space.
"LAX" means Los Angeles International Airport."Noise Impact Boundary for LAX"
means the area around LAX as defined in 21 California code of regulations
§ 5001(1), and any successor regulation or amendment. The city's building safety
department must at all times maintain a current map of the noise impact boundary.
The latest published map by LAWA located at the Building Safety Counter shall be
used as the basis for determination.
"Residence" means any occupancy group R building as used in El Segundo Title
13 of the El Segundo municipal code.
R341.5 Standards.
Any new residence or addition of one or more habitable rooms to an existing
residence that is within the noise impact boundary for LAX must be designed to
ensure that internal noise levels due to LAX do not exceed 45 dB CNEL. This
standard may be satisfied in two ways: (1) by performing the acoustical analysis
described in section R341.1207.6.06, below, or (2) by employing the prescribed
construction methods described in section R341.1207.6.07, below
R341.6 Acoustical Analysis.
A building permit application for a new residence or addition of one or more
habitable rooms to an existing residence must comply with the minimum noise
insulation performance standards established in this section if it includes an
acoustical analysis demonstrating that the proposed design will ensure that
internal noise levels due to LAX aircraft noise will not exceed 45 dB CNEL. The
72
Page 199 of 250
acoustical analysis shall be proven to meet the standard by providing post-
construction/pre-occupancy acoustic measurement to verify compliance with the
45 dB CNEL standard. The Building Official has the discretion to implement
policies that meet the intent of this code section.
A. The acoustical analysis must be prepared by a person experienced in
the field of acoustical engineering. The analysis must consider and include:
the topographical relationship between LAX aircraft noise sources and the
dwelling site, the characteristics of those noise sources, predicted noise
spectra and levels at the exterior of the dwelling site, the basis for this
prediction (measured or obtained from published data), the noise insulation
measures to be employed, and the effectiveness of the proposed noise
insulation measures.
B. If the interior allowable noise levels are to be met by requiring that
windows be unopenable or closed, the design for the structure must also
specify a ventilation or air-conditioning system to provide a habitable interior
environment, having at least 2 air exchanges per hour for the affected
rooms. The ventilation system must not compromise the interior room noise
reduction.
