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

GIRT411 City Council Agenda Statement
ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 16, 2023
Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.8
TITLE:
Second Reading of an Ordinance Authorizing an Amendment between the City and
CaIPERS to Implement Additional Government Code § 20516 Employee Cost Sharing
RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct the second reading and adopt an Ordinance authorizing an amendment
to the contract between the City of El Segundo and the Board of Administration
of California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) regarding cost
sharing by "Classic" local miscellaneous members of the Supervisory and
Professional Employees' Association (SPEA).
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other actions related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The retirement contract amendment will have an estimated $46,100 annual savings to
the City as the employees will be picking up a portion of the "employer share" of their
retirement cost. This savings, which applies to "Classic" employees only, will decrease
in subsequent fiscal years as "Classic" employees retire and are replaced with "PEPRA"
employees.
BACKGROUND:
On April 18, 2023, the City Council approved a Resolution of Intention and introduced
the first reading of an Ordinance authorizing a CaIPERS contract amendment to provide
an additional 1% cost sharing for Classic local miscellaneous SPEA Members.
A second reading and adoption of the Ordinance are required to amend the contract
between the City and the Board of Administration of CaIPERS for this provision.
DISCUSSION:
The adopted and approved SPEA MOU for the term October 1, 2018 through
Page 26 of 370
CalPERS Contract Amendment for Cost Sharing Provision
May 16, 2023
Page 2 of 3
September 30, 2022 provided that local miscellaneous employees defined as "Classic"
members would increase CalPERS retirement payments by an additional one percent
(1%) for a total employee contribution of eight percent (8%) of compensation. During the
labor negotiations for a successor MOU, it was discovered that this provision was not
implemented and the contract with CalPERS had not been amended.
On February 21, 2023, City Council approved a Side Letter with SPEA to begin the
additional cost sharing and the CalPERS contract amendment process. The cost
sharing is currently in place by direct payroll deduction from employees to the City.
On April 18, 2023, the City Council approved a Resolution of Intention to amend the
CalPERS contract. This Resolution was then submitted to CalPERS for review and
approval. Following the submission of the Resolution, a secret ballot election of
impacted members was conducted and certified by the City Clerk's Office. On May 8,
the City provided the election results to CalPERS in which fifteen SPEA members were
eligible to vote. Six votes were received approving said participation and zero votes
were received disapproving said participation.
The Ordinance is being presented for the second reading and adoption by the City
Council at the May 16, 2023 meeting to allow for the mandatory 20-day window
between Resolution approval and Ordinance adoption under Government Code §
20471. Upon adoption of the final Ordinance, staff will submit the executed documents
to CalPERS. The contract amendment will become effective on June 17, 2023, which
is the first day of the new payroll period following the May 17, 2023 effective date of the
Ordinance.
Once CalPERS approves the contract amendment, the City will convert the one percent
(1%) employer contribution to an employee contribution so that SPEA members receive
cred it.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
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.

whether the equipment detailed within the annual report complies with policy and meets
specified standards as set forth in Government Code § 7071(d).
DISCUSSION:
In compliance with AB 481, in 2022, the El Segundo Police Department developed a
military equipment policy (Attachment 2) and accompanying military equipment
inventory. The policy and inventory were posted for public viewing on the Department's
website and approved by City Council at the May 3, 2022 City Council meeting through
the adoption of Ordinance No. 1637. Additionally, the military equipment described in
the annual report complies with the adopted policy, so that the ordinance does not
require amendment.
In accordance with the annual requirements set forth in AB 481, the Department
completed the 2022 Annual Military Equipment Report. All equipment was funded and
acquired through Council -approved annual budgets. The availability of this equipment
enables the Department to minimize risk to members of the community and officers
during dynamic and unfolding high risk incidents, maintain a state of readiness through
continuous training and familiarity with such equipment, and strategically fulfill its
mission to protect life and property. The annual report includes an inventory detailing
each type of military equipment possessed by the Department and its quantity,
authorized use, fiscal impact, and training requirements. The report also summarizes
the usage of each type of equipment and complaints received regarding the equipment
during calendar year 2022.

2022 Annual Military Equipment Report
Introduction:
The El Segundo Police Department is committed to transparency, public trust, community
partnerships, and compliance with the law. In accordance with Government Code §§ 7071 and
7072 (AB 481), this Department presents this Annual Military Equipment Report with all
requisite reporting information, including, without limitation, the military equipment usage
guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, and complaints received for reporting year 2022.
The Department maintains specified military equipment to assist in safely achieving the
furtherance of its mission, "to provide a safe and secure community while treating all people
with dignity and respect." Although the Department has various pieces of military equipment
(as defined by the code) in inventory, the mere possession of such equipment does not warrant
its use in every situation. This essential equipment is deployed based on the situational
necessity to effectively de-escalate intense situations or bring volatile conditions and critical
incidents to a safe resolution.
The availability of such instruments enables the Department to minimize risk to members of the
community and officers during dynamic and unfolding high -risk incidents. It allows Department
members to maintain a state of readiness through continuous training and equipment
familiarity to fulfill our mission to protect life, property, and the overall public well-being.
Background:
Pursuant to AB 481, the Department presented its Military Equipment Use Policy ("Policy") to
the public and City Council. The City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1637 (the "Ordinance")
on April 19, 2022 and adopted the Ordinance on May 3, 2022. This Ordinance, which approved
the Military Equipment Use Policy, became effective on June 2, 2022. The Policy is publicly
available on the Department's website at AB 481 Information I El Segundo Police Department
(elsegundopd.ore)
Within 30 days of releasing its annual military equipment report, a law enforcement agency
must hold at least one community engagement meeting to allow the public to ask questions
and discuss the Annual Report. The City Council must also review the Ordinance to determine
whether, based on the annual military equipment report, the standards set forth in the bill have
been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for
particular equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the
Policy.

The El Segundo Police Department will continue to research and purchase the best equipment
to keep our community and officers safe. At this time, it is unknown what equipment will be
purchased in 2023. The training of the military equipment has been built into officers' regular
shifts or set trainings (Drone Training, SWAT Training), no extra costs have been incurred. Our
Drone Operators attended a three-day training (24 hours) in Las Vegas, Nevada on the Brinc
Lemur S Drone in 2022 and 2023. The cost of this training was $799 per student. Four operators
went in 2022 and three operators went in 2023. Due to the ongoing training and use of certain
equipment during yearly trainings, certain equipment may be replenished throughout the year.
The equipment, resources and training outlined in this report allows the El Segundo Police
Department to protect our community by enhancing public and officer safety. Although
controlled equipment is utilized infrequently, it is crucial that the equipment be readily
available in critical incidents where such equipment can be used to effectively respond to
threats to public safety. This annual report reaffirms the department's commitment to
providing transparency and information to our communities and elected officials in addition to
ensuring compliance with the law.

DISCUSSION:
On April 11, 2023, the City Clerk received and opened four bids as follows:
1. Rojas Construction $207,372.00
2. FS Contractors, Inc. $237,399.00
3. Grigolla & Sons Construction Company, Inc. $254,754.00
4. Gentry General Engineering $296,096.30
A copy of the "Bid Log Sheet" for the project is attached. Rojas Construction was the
apparent lowest bidder, and upon reviewing the bids, the City Clerk's Office noted that
this construction company did not submit the original bid bond, and instead they
submitted a copy of the bid bond.
On April 12, 2023, the apparent second lowest bidder, FS Contractors, Inc. sent a bid
protest letter to the City Clerk, the City Engineer, and Rojas Construction company. A
copy of this letter is attached. The letter cites Section 9.8 on page I-B-5 of the project
Specifications' Bidding Instructions:
9.8 Bids must be submitted in writing on the Proposal forms provided by the City of
El Segundo. One (1) set of these Proposal forms is inserted loose herein for use by
the bidders. Bidders are required to submit one (1) original set of the proposal forms.
All information requested therein must be clearly and legibly set forth in the manner
and form indicated.
On April 13, 2023, two days following the bid submission deadline, Rojas Construction
company delivered the original bid bond to the City Clerk's Office. It is to be noted that
the bid documents require timely submission of the original bid bond. The reason for
this requirement is the fact that a copy of the bid bond may not be enforceable.
On April 13, 2023, City staff provided Rojas Construction company with an opportunity
to respond to the bid protest letter. A copy of their response letter dated April 14, 2023
is attached.
Further, in reviewing bid documents from all four bidders, staff found additional
significant inconsistencies in Rojas Construction's proposal documents. The following
list includes all the inconsistent items which have been discussed with the City
Attorney's Office-
1 . An original Bid Bond was not timely submitted by the bid submission deadline
in conformance with Section 10 of the Bidding Instructions (discussed earlier).
2. The Bid Form on page I-C-8 was not signed by the company representative as
required by Section 9.7 of the Bidding Instructions. Only a typed name is
present.
3. The notarial acknowledgement to the Bid Form, which has a signature line for
Page 91 of 370
FY 2022-23 Annual Concrete Improvements Project
May 16, 2023
Page 3 of 4
the company representative's signature, is not signed.
4. The bid bond is not signed by a company representative.
5. A tree service contractor is not listed on the Designated Subcontractors page.
A special licensed contractor is required for the removal of the trees which is
included in the scope of this project. It is to be noted that Rojas Construction
company does not have the required license.
Regarding items 2 and 3 above, Section 9.7 of the Bidding Instructions is clear on bid
rejection due to failure to sign the Bid Form:
9.7 The Bid Form will be signed by a person or persons legally authorized to bind
Bidder to a contract. Bidder's Representative will sign and date the Declaration
included in the Bid Form. Failure to sign and date the declaration will cause the bid to
be rejected.
Regarding Items 1, 4, and 5 above, Section 13.2 of the Bidding Instructions is clear on
rejection of a materially incomplete bid package or irregular bid:
13.2 The City will have the right to reject any Bid not accompanied by the required
Bid Security or any other item required by the bidding documents, or a bid which is in
any other way materially incomplete or irregular.
This is supported by state law, which affords cities discretion to determine bid
responsiveness and even demand strict compliance with bid specifications. Taylor Bus
Serv., Inc. v San Diego Bd. of Educ. (1987) 195 Cal.App.3d 1331, 1343. The failure of
Rojas Construction to timely submit the original bid bond in conformance with the
requirements in Section 10 of the Bidding Instructions alone is sufficient for rejection of
its bid.
Considering the multiple issues associated with Rojas Construction's bid submittal, staff
is recommending the City Council reject the apparent low bid, and award the
construction of this project to FS Contractors, Inc. The staff checked the status and
references of this construction company and found their state license and DIR
registration to be in good standing. Further, this construction company has satisfactorily
completed similar projects for the cities of El Segundo, Lynwood, Rosemead, and Santa
Clarita.
Consequently, staff requests City Council to approve the recommended actions as
noted. With the City Council's authorization, the anticipated schedule for this project is
as follows:
May 2023: Award Contract
June 2023: Complete Contract Documents
June 2023: Begin Construction

PROJECT: FY 22/23 Concrete Improvements Project, Project No. PW 22-17 — Bid Protest
Dear Mr. Xu and Ms. Weaver:
This letter is in response to the bid opening conducted on April 11, 2023 for the subject project. On April 11,
2023, we received the Bid Log (attached) showing that the City received a total of four (4) bids. Rojas
Construction was listed as the apparent low bidder with a notation under the 'Bid Bond' column stating, "Copy
only need original" indicating that they did not submit the original bid bond.
Pursuant to the project documents, the bid must be accompanied by a bid bond as specified in the Notice
Inviting Bids (page I-A-3) and Section 10. Bid Security (page I-B-5) of the Bidding Instructions; using the City
Bid Bond form (page I-C-9). Section 10.1 also allows for the use of a certified check made payable to "City of
El Segundo" as a bid security.
Section 9.8 (page I-B-5) under Form and Style of Bids of the Bidding Instructions states, "Bidders are
required to submit one (1) original set of the proposal forms." The proposal forms consists of pages I-
C-1 to I-C-18, of which the City Bid Bond form (page I-C-9) is a part of and required to be an original, not a
copy.
Rojas Construction submitted a copy of the bid bond, not the original bid bond. Therefore, pursuant to the
requirements of Section 9.8, the bid submitted by Rojas Construction should be considered non -responsive.
We look forward to your response on this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lqw

o,riginalbikl bond was not, included with the papers submitted by Rojas to the City prior to
bid operting. This is incorrect as as matter of law. FS does not claim that the 1�ojas bid
ornitted as bid bond Of any sort, Instead, FS relics on the fact, which the ("it), confirmed Ul)On
bid opening, that a copyofan enforceable bid bond W',IS included with the Rojas bid.
The derenTaination of wlicther a bid prof-,)osal fails to cot-riply with rnatcrial terins Of
the bid docuri-icnts is based upon whethct the variation gives the bidder an tinfair advantage
relative to other bidders. (Alen�fie v. Couny ql'Vivsno (1985) 163 (:al.,\I-.)p.3d 1175.) Por
example, a bid which allows the bidder the chance, after laid operting, to decide whether (,and
T)O!ss-ibly on what terms) it wanted the contract is considered ain unfalradvantagc and will
render a bid noi-itcsponsive, even if the bidder never intended to gaill Or use 1111%, advantage.

the City could collect on the bid bond. Because Rojas would not have the opportunity to
refuse to execute the contract without forfeiting its bid bond, it did not gain any competitive
advantage over any of the other bidders. Thus, the failure to submit the original bid bond
prior to bid opening should be considered an immaterial defect in the Rojas bid, which the
City may waive. 1
The case of Bay Cities Paving & Grading v. City of San I.eandm (2014) 223 Cal.AppAth
1181 demonstrates this point. In that case, the lowest bidder (G&B) submitted only the
second page of the bid bond form required by the city. Bay Cities protested. The city elected
to waive the defect. Bay Cities then filed an action seeking to overturn the award of the
contract to G&B. The Superior Court denied Bay Cities' request.
The Court of Appeal affirmed this result, saying, "the City determined that the
missing page of the G&B bond was an inconsequential deviation from the bidding
requirements for this project because the second page of that two -page bid bond, which was
included in G&B's original sealed bid package, provided sufficient information to assure the
City that G&B had complied with the bid security requirement. Substantial evidence
supports the City's determination."
The Court of Appeal then said, "In short, when the City determined which
contractor was the lowest responsible bidder it had before it the information needed to make
clear that G&B had, indeed, satisfied the requirement of supplying the requisite bid bond."
Just as in Bay Cities, the City had before it substantial evidence that Rojas lead
profided the required bid bond at the time the bids were opened.2 Thus, the failure to
include the original bid bond was not material. Had Rojas refused to execute a contract for
the project, the City would have the right to collect on that bond.
Because any defect in Rojas' bid was inconsequential, the City may waive that defect
and award the project to Rojas. The FS bid protest should be denied.

waiving inconsequential deviations." Ghiloui Construction Co. v. City of Richmond (1996) 45
Cal.App.4th 897.
2 It is my understanding that the original bid bond was received by the City on the day after the
bid opening.

BACKGROUND:
In 1990, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board)
adopted Order 8, No. 90-079, which set in motion requirements for municipalities
located in Los Angeles County to comply with provisions of the Clean Water Act for
contaminated discharges (commonly called stormwater and non-stormwater runoff
discharges) into Municipally Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). This action was
followed in 1992 by a provision requiring all Phase I cities (populations greater than
100,000) to begin implementing best available technologies to reduce or eliminate
contaminated discharges. The Regional Board adopted new stormwater permits in 1996
and 2001, and approved four amendments for the 2001 permit between 2006 and 2010.
On November 8, 2012, the Regional Board adopted a stormwater permit, Order No. R4-
2012-0175, which includes and expands upon the provisions called for in earlier
permits. Subsequently, Order No. R4-2021-0105 was issued on September 11, 2021,
which is the current NPDES permit with expanded monitoring and reporting
requirements.
The NPDES MS4 Permit provides permittees the flexibility to develop Watershed
Management Programs (WMPs) to implement the permit requirements. Within the
WMP, a comprehensive monitoring program, known as the Coordinated Integrated
Monitoring Program (CIMP) is conducted to focus on achieving adopted water quality
standards for the receiving waters, as required by the NPDES MS4 Permit. The City of
Los Angeles is the lead agency and is responsible for performing all required monitoring
and reporting to the Regional Board. The other agencies, including the City of El
Segundo, will only contribute financially. This arrangement allows the larger agencies
to perform the work and share the data and reporting on behalf of the other watershed
member agencies.

DISCUSSION:
El Segundo is part of two separate watersheds - the Santa Monica Bay and the
Dominguez Channel receiving waters and is a participant in both Watershed
Management Groups. El Segundo has participated in the cost sharing for water quality
monitoring and reporting as far back as 2012. On September 4, 2018, City Council
authorized staff to enter into the MOAs for the Dominguez Channel and Santa Monica
Bay Watershed CIMP and WMP administration and cost sharing covering fiscal years
18/19 through 22/23. During that time, both WMGs submitted annual reports to the
Regional Board, including all CIMP data collected each year, and provided revised
CIMP plans to the Regional Board in March 2023.
Both CIMP MOAs are set to expire in June 2023 and the watershed members have
drafted the attached successor MOAs to continue the program another 3 years.
Final cost tables by year have been inserted into this Staff Report. Specific cost
detailing is available in the attached MOAs and in the fiscal impact summary table
below at the end of the report. With these MOAs, the City of El Segundo agrees to:
Continue to participate and implement a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring
Program and Watershed Management Program in each watershed.
Retain the City of Los Angeles to perform the CIMP monitoring.
Share the cost of the CIMP monitoring and WMP administration services for
fiscal years 2023-24 through 2025-26 based on tributary areas
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:

giving the CITY and the Regional Board thirty (30) days written notice thereof. Withdrawing
PARTIES shall remain wholly responsible for their proportional share of the costs of
MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS for any fiscal year for which the
PARTY has not withdrawn. Withdrawing PARTIES shall not be entitled to any refunds.
Each PARTY shall also be responsible for the payment of its own fines, penalties or costs
incurred as a result of the non-performance of the CIMP and/or WMP.
b. Default. If a PARTY fails to comply with any of the terms or conditions of this MOA, that
PARTY shall forfeit its rights to the work completed through this MOA, but no such
forfeiture shall occur unless and until the defaulting PARTY has first been given notice of
its default and a reasonable opportunity to cure the alleged default.
C. Equipment Ownership. Devices such as automatic sampling stations - inclusive of a
cabinet, sampling equipment, ancillary devices, power supplies (EQUIPMENT) may be
installed to implement the CIMP. Any PARTY voluntarily terminating membership will not
be entitled to a refund for the portion of the share paid to acquire and to operate the
EQUIPMENT nor for the remaining value of the EQUIPMENT, if any. The operational life

Page 132 of 370
will be transmitted electronically to all PARTIES and as requested by the

f. Contracting. The PARTIES contemplate that other individual NPDES permit
holders may wish to participate in the MONITORING SERVICES without being a
PARTY to this MOA. In the event that another NPDES permittee wants to
participate in the MONITORING SERVICES, the SBCCOG may enter into an
individual separate agreement with such individual NPDES permittee. The
individual NPDES permittee will not become a PARTY to this MOA but will be
responsible for its proportionate share of the costs for those MONITORING
SERVICES. If other individual NPDES permit holders' participation modifies the
PARTIES' proportionate cost share, each PARTY's proportional payment
obligation shall be modified administratively in Exhibit B.
Section 8. Invoicing and Payment
a. Invoicing. The SBCCOG will invoice all PARTIES, except the CITY, annually in
amounts not exceeding the invoice amounts shown in Table 1 of Exhibit B. The
annual invoices will be issued by the SBCCOG to the PARTIES in July of each
calendar year for their proportional share of the estimated cost for MONITORING
SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS, including SBCCOG's Contract
Management Fee, for the fiscal year, as shown in Table 1 of Exhibit B. The first
invoice will be issued in July 2023 or upon the execution of this Agreement,
whichever is later. The PARTIES hereby acknowledge and ratify services
performed on or after the earlier of July 1st, 2023 or the date of the last signature
of the PARTIES that are performed in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the MOA. Such services shall be included in the first invoice and reimbursable
pursuant to this MOA. The CITY will invoice the SBCCOG for tasks performed,
deducting the CITY's cost portion for such tasks and the CITY's cost portion for
the SBCCOG's Contract Management Fee. The CITY shall provide SBCCOG an
Page 4 of 34
Page 133 of 370
accounting of the MONITORING SERVICES, and any WMP-RELATED TASKS
completed during each annual payment term consistent with the format as shown
in Exhibit E.
b. Annual Payment. Each PARTY, excluding the CITY, shall pay the SBCCOG for
their invoice within sixty (60) days of receipt of the invoice from the SBCCOG.
c. Late Payment Penalty. Any payment that is not received within sixty (60) days
following receipt of the invoice from SBCCOG shall be subject to a late payment
of 10%. Interest on any late payments shall accrue at the rate of 1 % per month
for each month a payment is past due.
d. Delinquent Payments. A payment not made within three hundred and sixty-five
(365) days after receipt of the invoice from the SBCCOG shall result in the
SBCCOG notifying the Regional Board and the PARTIES that the delinquent
PARTY is no longer a participating member of the CIMP or WMP. The PARTY
shall be deemed to have withdrawn from this MOA and the remaining PARTIES'
cost share allocation shall be adjusted in accordance with the cost allocation
formula in Table 1 of Exhibit B. Withdrawal shall not relieve a PARTY's obligation
to pay its proportionate share of costs that were due at the time of the deemed
withdrawal.
e. Contingency. Each PARTY's annual invoice will include a contingency of fifteen
percent (15%) for MONITORING SERVICES and fifteen percent (15%) for WMP-
RELATED TASKS, as shown in Table 1 of Exhibit B. Contingency funds will be
held by SBCCOG until such time as they are needed. Contingency funds that are
used will be applied to each PARTY based on its proportional share. No PARTY
will be obligated to pay for additional expenditures which exceed its contingency
amounts without an amendment to this MOA.
Monitoring Services Contingency. The CITY shall have access to the
MONITORING SERVICES Contingency, for paying for or otherwise
implementing the MONITORING SERVICES defined in Exhibit A of this
MOA. The CITY shall notify the PARTIES before use of the MONITORING
SERVICES Contingency is appropriate or required as soon as practicable,
but any failure to notify any PARTY or the PARTIES shall not alter,
eliminate, or affect the CITY's right to payment. The CITY will indicate the
amount of MONITORING SERVICES Contingency used in its applicable
invoice(s) to the SBCCOG for implementation of the MONITORING
SERVICES. Should the CITY determine in its reasonable discretion that
the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency not be necessary for
MONITORING SERVICES, the PARTIES may administratively shift these
funds to be used for WMP-RELATED TASKS and do so using the process
defined in Section 9(c).
Page 5 of 34
Page 134 of 370
ii. WMP-Related Tasks Contingency. The PARTIES may utilize WMP-
RELATED TASKS Contingency to complete projects consistent with the
WMP-RELATED TASKS defined in Exhibit A. To utilize WMP-RELATED
TASKS Contingency, the DC WMG shall discuss the proposed activity and
the DC WMG will come to a majority consensus, using the process
defined in Section 9(c), as to whether to move forward with the use of
WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency and the process for implementation.
The SBCCOG shall utilize the WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency to
reimburse the entity responsible for administering the approved WMP-
RELATED TASK funded by the WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency.
Should the WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency not be necessary for
WMP-RELATED TASKS, the PARTIES may administratively shift these
funds to be used for MONITORING SERVICES, using the process defined
in Section 9(c).
f. Shifting of Funds. The PARTIES may shift funds collected under this MOA
between MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS
administratively, without an amendment to this MOA, provided that the overall
amount does not exceed the total not -to -exceed amount of this MOA or a
PARTY'S annual proportional cost, as set forth in Table 1 of Exhibit B, and if
approved by a majority consensus, using the process defined in Section 9(c).
Should the CITY require a shift in funds between MONITORING SERVICES and
WMP-RELATED TASKS in order to implement the MONITORING SERVICES
and WMP-RELATED TASKS, it shall notify the SBCCOG before shifting these
funds.
g. Contract Management Fee. The SBCCOG will receive a Contract Management
Fee of $50,000 per year for administration of this MOA by the SBCCOG. Each
PARTY will be assessed its proportionate share of the annual Contract
Management Fee as shown in Table 4 of Exhibit B.
h. Reconciliation of this MOA. At the end of the MOA, the SBCCOG will provide the
PARTIES with an accounting of actual expenditures, consistent with the format
as shown in Exhibit E, within ninety (90) days. Any unexpended funds held by
SBCCOG at the termination of this MOA will be rolled -over to cover expenses in
any subsequent MOA. PARTIES may request in writing a refund or credit of any
unexpended funds by the SBCCOG, in accordance with the distributed cost
formula set forth in Table 1 of Exhibit B.
Section 9. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE:
a. Documentation. The PARTIES agree to promptly provide at no cost to the CITY
all requested information and documentation in their possession that the CITY, in
Page 6 of 34
Page 135 of 370
its discretion, deems to be necessary or helpful for the performance of the
MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS.
b. Access. During the term of this MOA on an as -needed basis, each PARTY shall
allow the CITY or its contractor reasonable access and entry to land, facilities
and structures owned, operated, or controlled by the PARTY, which access and
entry are necessary or helpful for the CITY or its contractor to perform
MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS (FACILITIES). The
FACILITIES shall include but not be limited to the PARTY's storm drains,
channels, catch basins, and similar, provided, however, that prior to entering any
of the PARTIES' FACILITIES, the CITY or its contractor, as applicable, shall
provide seventy-two (72) hours' advance written notice of entry to the applicable
PARTY, or in the cases where seventy-two (72) hours' advance written notice is
not possible, such as in cases of unforeseen wet weather, the CITY or its
contractor shall provide written notice to the applicable PARTY as early as
reasonably possible. Any PARTY, including LACFCD, agrees to provide the
CITY or its contractor a "no -fee" Access Permit to its FACILITIES. This Access
Permit does not cover any fees that may be required for Construction Permits for
the installation of permanent monitoring equipment. The CITY shall secure any
required necessary permits prior to entry.
c. Consensus. The PARTIES agree that consensus in the DC WMG will be
determined by a majority (50%) voting of the DC WMG members based on each
PARTY's percentage land area of the Watershed as shown in Exhibit D.
Consensus shall be reached using an e-mail vote of DC WMG members. Any
PARTY that does not respond to a vote within five (5) business days shall be
considered to support the majority consensus.
d. Participation. Each PARTY shall designate an individual to provide
representation at the DC WMG that is authorized to provide official input on
behalf of the PARTY. Each PARTY shall ensure that a representative attends the
DC WMG meetings and, if necessary, responds to e-mail communication.
e. Additional Activities. The PARTIES agree that additional activities may arise in
the course of implementing this MOA, and there may be interest in utilizing funds
collected through this MOA or pursuing additional funds, including but not limited
to the Safe Clean Water Program, to complete those projects. The DC WMG, led
by the DC WMG Lead Agency, shall discuss and determine additional activities
to be completed and the implementation approach to completing those projects.
The DC WMG will determine which activities to pursue in accordance with the
consensus process defined in Section 9(c). Any other PARTY that does not
desire to participate in an additional activity can submit a written request to the
SBCCOG that they do not desire to be part of the activity. The non -participating
PARTY will not be responsible for its proportionate share of funds to complete
Page 7 of 34
Page 136 of 370
the additional project, and the cost will be recalculated amongst the remaining
PARTIES.
Section 10. Indemnification. Each PARTY shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
each other PARTY, on a pro rata basis, including its special districts, their member
agencies, elected and appointed officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and designated
volunteers from and against any and all liability, including, but not limited to, demands,
claims, actions, fees, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys and expert
witness fees), arising from or connected with this MOA; provided, however, that no
PARTY shall indemnify another PARTY for that PARTY's own negligence or willful
misconduct.
Section 11. Termination
a. Noticing. Any PARTY may withdraw from this MOA for any reason, in whole or
part, by giving the SBCCOG and the Regional Board thirty (30) days written
notice thereof. Withdrawing PARTIES shall remain wholly responsible for their
proportional share of the costs of MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-
RELATED TASKS for any fiscal year for which the PARTY has not withdrawn.
Withdrawing PARTIES shall not be entitled to any refunds. Each PARTY shall
also be responsible for the payment of its own fines, penalties or costs incurred
as a result of the non-performance of the CIMP and/or WMP. Upon withdrawal by
the SBCCOG, the PARTIES shall meet and confer to designate an alternate
organization to accept the SBCCOG's responsibilities under this MOA.
b. Default. If a PARTY fails to comply with any of the terms or conditions of this
MOA, that PARTY shall forfeit its rights to the work completed through this MOA,
but no such forfeiture shall occur unless and until the defaulting PARTY has first
been given notice of its default and a reasonable opportunity to cure the alleged
default.
c. Equipment Ownership. Devices such as automatic sampling stations - inclusive
of a cabinet, sampling equipment, ancillary devices, power supplies
(EQUIPMENT) may be installed to implement the CIMP. Any PARTY voluntarily
terminating membership will not be entitled to a refund for the portion of the
share paid to acquire and to operate the EQUIPMENT nor for the remaining
value of the EQUIPMENT, if any. The operational life of such EQUIPMENT is
approximately seven years, and after which it may be obsolete or may require
major remodel or replacement of electrical and mechanical components costing
equivalent to a purchase of a new EQUIPMENT. The remaining PARTIES agree
to own, operate and maintain and or replace the EQUIPMENT.

GIRT411 City Council Agenda Statement
ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 16, 2023
Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.14
TITLE:
Nash Street Exchange Traffic Signal Transfer and License Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Traffic Signal Transfer and License
Agreement between the City of El Segundo, the Nash Street Exchange
Developer, and the Nash Street Exchange Landowners.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 Budget.
This additional signal light will increase the City's future maintenance costs by
approximately $500 per year, as part of the City's traffic signal system.
Amount Budgeted: $500
Additional Appropriation: None.
Account Number(s): 001-400-4205-6206 (Traffic and Safety Contractual Service)
BACKGROUND:
On September 14, 2017, the El Segundo Planning Commission adopted Resolution No.
2826, approving the construction of three new buildings to replace the parking lot
formerly used by Raytheon located at 2100 to 2198 E. El Segundo Boulevard. This
construction development is known as the Nash Street Exchange. As part of the
conditions of approval for the Nash Street Exchange project, a new signalized
intersection was constructed by the developer. At this time, the applicant is seeking the
approval of a Traffic Signal Transfer and License Agreement to transfer ownership and
maintenance of the newly installed traffic signals to the City, per the development
project's conditions of approval.
Page 164 of 370

Page 2 of 2
DISCUSSION:
The traffic signal was completed in May, 2022 and inspected by City of El Segundo and
County of Los Angeles Public Works. The Public Works Staff, in coordination with the
City Attorney's office and the developer and landowners, prepared the attached
proposed Traffic Signal Transfer and License Agreement. Staff recommends the City
Council authorize the execution of this agreement. Subsequent to the City Council
approving the agreement, all necessary signatures will be obtained and the agreement
will be recorded in the County Recorder's Office.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 4: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology

ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 16, 2023
Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.15
TITLE:
Smoky Hollow Pilot Parking Project Construction Award
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a standard Public Works Contract with
DASH Construction in the amount of $219,915 for the construction of the Smoky
Hollow Parking Pilot Project, Project No. PW 23-05, and authorize an additional
$22,000 for construction related contingencies.
2. Appropriate $170,350 from Parking In -lieu Fee and $71,565 from General Fund
Unassigned Fund Balance.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project is not included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 Budget. An appropriation of
$241,915 is requested below for FY 2022-23 and will be included in the P.O. rollover
report for FY 2023-24 expected to be brought to City Council on June 20, 2023:
1. Undesignate $170,350 from 001-277-0000-8840 (designated Parking In -Lieu
Fee) and appropriate to 001-400-4101-6304 (PW Engineering - Smoky Hollow
Parking In -Lieu).
2. Appropriate $71,565 from 001-299-0000-2990 (General Fund Unassigned Fund
Balance) to 001-400-4101-6304 (PW Engineering - Smoky Hollow Parking In -
Lieu).
BACKGROUND:
On October 2, 2018, City Council adopted the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. A pilot
parking project was authorized under this plan to add a parallel parking lane for on -
Page 191 of 370
Smoky Hollow Pilot Parking Project Award
May 16, 2023
Page 2 of 3
street parking along the north side of El Segundo Boulevard from the alley east of Main
Street to the alley east of Sheldon Street. This pilot project was completed on January
21, 2020 in accordance to the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan, and was subsequently
removed after a 16-month evaluation period at the direction of the City Council on May
18, 2021.
Staff was directed to initiate a second pilot project to add parking to the Smoky Hollow
area. This alternative is to alter some of the north/south streets that intersect El
Segundo Blvd. from the current two-way operation to one-way streets, which would
allow angled parking along those streets, as contemplated in the Smoky Hollow Specific
Plan.
On March 7, 2023, the City Council adopted the plans and specifications for this
alternative and authorized staff to advertise this project for construction.
DISCUSSION:
City staff advertised the project, and the City Clerk received no bids on April 11, 2023.
Public Contract Code § 22038 states that if no formal bids are received, then a
contractor may be selected by direct negotiation. Staff solicited bids from various
contractors, and received one bid from a qualified contractor, DASH Construction, for an
amount of $219,915. Upon receiving this bid, staff checked the references and license
status of DASH Construction. Staff found their contractor license in good standing and
the performance of their work to be satisfactory. DASH Construction has successfully
completed similar projects for other public agencies. Dash is currently the contractor
doing construction of the El Segundo Blvd. paving project between Illinois St. and
Whiting St. The design engineer estimated the construction cost of this project to be
$200,000.
With the Council's authorization, construction is anticipated to commence in July 2023
and is scheduled to be completed by the end of Summer 2023. Subsequent to the
construction, the success of this pilot project can be evaluated based on the following:
• Survey businesses and adjacent property owners in the Smoky Hollow area to
gather feedback.
• Keep logs of feedback/complaints from residents, business owners, truck drivers
and adjacent property owners.
• Review citations issued by the Police Department.
• Monitor the use of newly installed parking stalls.

2. Schedule a second reading of the ordinance for the June 6, 2023 City Council
meeting.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed amendments are not anticipated to have any fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On April 18, 2023, the City Council considered the proposed ordinance during a public
hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council directed staff to make specific
revisions to the ordinance. In addition, the City Council directed staff to amend the
ordinance to address public comments received during the public hearing regarding the
nonresidential fencing provisions of the draft ordinance. The discussion section below
summarizes the changes staff made to the draft ordinance to address the City Council's
direction and the public comments received at the April 18, 2023 public hearing.

DISCUSSION:
The discussion below identifies each topic raised at the April 18, 2023 meeting and
describes the changes made to the ordinance to address each topic:
Net floor area calculation. The ESMC definition of net floor area currently
excludes restrooms in common areas of nonresidential buildings from net floor
area (ESMC Section 15-1-6). Staff had proposed eliminating this exclusion for
the purpose of simplifying the calculation of net floor area. During the discussion
and in response to public comments on the topic, the Council directed staff to
maintain this exclusion and add hallways in common areas to the areas excluded
from net floor area. The revised ordinance reflects Council's direction.
2. Nonresidential fence and wall height. The ESMC currently gives the Director
complete discretion regarding the height of nonresidential fences and walls
(ESMC Section 15-2-4). Staff proposed establishing specific height limits for
nonresidential fences and walls, including for retaining walls; but also included
language allowing fences or walls to exceed the height limits by up to two feet
subject to approval of an adjustment by the Director. Staff believes that height
limits provide a clear standard and eliminates subjectivity by the Director. Since
the code currently gives the Director complete discretion, the Director can decide
not to allow any fence/wall, or allow a fence/wall of any height. However, during
City Council discussion and in response to public comments on the topic, Council
agreed to establish specific height limits in the ordinance, but to work with a
representative from Continental Development Corporation to draft language
giving the Director more discretion on adjustments to the height limits. The
revised ordinance allows adjustments for fences or walls to exceed the permitted
height by more than two feet, without the need for a variance application, subject
to a verified nuisance, criminal activity, or extraordinary topographical
circumstances. Adjustments for more than two feet above the height limit would
be subject to Planning Commission review. However, the findings of approval for
adjustments are less demanding than those for variances. Therefore, the overall
approval process for exceptions to fence and wall heights will be easier in the
revised ordinance.
3. Temporary construction fencing. The ESMC currently does not require and/or
regulate construction fencing. Staff proposed establishing: a) a requirement for
construction fencing to secure and screen construction sites. b) material and
maintenance standards; and c) timeframes for erection and removal of temporary
construction fencing. During public comment on the draft ordinance, a
representative from Continental Development Corporation expressed support for
granting the Director more discretion regarding the timeframes for erection and
removal of temporary construction fences. The Council did not direct staff to
make specific changes to the temporary construction fencing provisions other
Page 197 of 370
Zoning Code Clean up
May 16, 2023
Page 3 of 4
than to ensure the Director has discretion over the timeframes for their erection
and removal. The updated ordinance does not permit the erection of a temporary
construction fence sooner than 15 days prior to commencement of construction,
unless needed to protect against a safety hazard. In addition, the ordinance
requires temporary construction fences to be removed within 30 days after either
the expiration of a permit or issuance of final approval or certificate of occupancy.
However, if needed to protect against a safety hazard or attractive nuisance, the
director or building official may permit the fence to remain until the hazard or
nuisance is abated. Therefore, staff believes the ordinance gives the Director
substantial discretion and does not propose additional changes.
4. Service stations in the Downtown Commercial (C-RS) zone. The ESMC
currently permits service stations in the C-RS and the C-2 zone subject to
approval of a conditional use permit. Staff had proposed in the draft ordinance to
remove service stations from the permitted uses in the C-RS and C-2 zone.
During the discussion, the Council directed staff to keep service stations as a
permitted use in the C-RS zone to maintain the ability of service stations and/or
electric vehicle charging stations to locate in the residential part of the City. The
revised ordinance reflects Council's direction.
The above discussion summarizes all the Council's direction to staff and the changes
made in the revised ordinance. The complete ordinance is attached to this report as
Exhibit No. 1. A summary of all other amendments to the Code is contained in the staff
report dated April 18, 2023 attached as Exhibit No. 2.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION:
Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, and the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed ordinance
is exempt from further review. Specifically, it is exempt under CEQA Guidelines §
15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in § 15378) because it has no
potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly and
CEQA Guidelines § 15601(b)(3) because the ordinance includes minor changes to the
zoning code; no development is authorized with this action, and it can seen that there is
no possibility of significant environmental impacts. In addition, any environmental
impacts associated with this Ordinance are adequately addressed in the General Plan
final EIR. Accordingly, theordinance is consistent with the General Plan final EIR and is
exempt from further CEQA review. Furthermore, this ordinance constitutes a component
of the El Segundo Municipal Code which the City's plannign agency determined to be
consistent with the final EIR for the City of El Segundo General Plan on December 1,
1992. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA
Regulations. § 15168(c)(2).

depicted in subsection 15-2-4A-4, the retaining wall may be topped by a
fence or wall of a height equal to that which would otherwise be permitted
at that location This does not apply to retaining walls which protect a fill
slope.
b. A retaining wall that protects a cut slope located in a required front or
streetside setback is limited to three feet in height.
c. Where a retaining wall contains a fill and is not located in any required
setback, as depicted in subsection 15-2-4A-4, the height of the wall
retaining the fill is considered as contributing to the permissible height
of a fence or wall. If required by the California Residential Code, an open
work fence or guardrail, not more than 42 inches in height, may be erected
on top of a retaining wall. An 'open work fence" means a fence in which
the component solid portions are evenly distributed, vertically oriented,
and constitute not more than 25 percent of the total surface area of the
fence.
d. A retaining wall located in any required setback, as depicted in
subsection 15-2-4A-4, may retain a maximum of three feet of fill. The
height of the retaining wall built to retain the fill is considered as
contributing to the permissible height of a fence or wall.
In a required side or rear setback, if required by the California Residential
Code, an open work fence or guardrail, not more than 42 inches in height,
may be erected on top of a retaining wall. However, the maximum height
of the fence and/or wall including a required openwork fence or guardrail
is limited to six feet six inches.
In a required front setback, a six-inch wall or fence may be erected on top
of a wall which retains a maximum of three feet. No open work fence,
above the maximum 42-inch total height, is allowed in the front setback.

1. Retaining walls
a. Where a retaining wall protects a cut slope below the natural grade, as
depicted in subsection 15-2-4B-4, the retaining wall may be topped by a
fence or wall of a height equal to that which would otherwise be permitted
at that location. This does not apply to retaining walls which protect a fill
slope.
b. A retaining wall that protects a cut slope located in a required front or
streetside setback is limited to three feet in height.
c. Where a retaining wall contains a fill and is not located in any required
setback, as depicted in subsection 15-2-4B-4, the height of the wall
retaining the fill is considered as contributing to the permissible height
of a fence or wall. If required by the California Building Code, an open
work fence or guardrail, not more than 42 inches in height, may be erected
on top of a retaining wall. An 'open work fence" means a fence in which
the component solid portions are evenly distributed, vertically oriented,
and constitute not more than 25 percent of the total surface area of the
fence.
d. A retaining wall located in any required setback, as depicted in
subsection 15-2-4B-4, may retain a maximum of three feet of fill. The
height of the retaining wall built to retain the fill is considered as
contributing to the permissible height of a fence or wall.
In a required side or rear setback, if required by the California Building
Code, an open work fence or guardrail, not more than 42 inches in height,
may be erected on top of a retaining wall. However, the maximum height
of the fence and/or wall including a required openwork fence or guardrail
is limited to eight feet.
2. Exceptions: The provisions of this section shall not apply to fences required
by state law to surround and enclose public utility installations or to
chainlink fences enclosing school grounds and public playgrounds.
3. Adjustments: If there is a City -verified nuisance, criminal activity, or
extraordinary topographical circumstances, a wall or fence may exceed the
maximum permitted height by up to two feet subject to the approval of an
adjustment by the Director, pursuant to chapters 22 and 23 of this title. A
wall or fence may exceed the permitted height by more than two feet subject
to the approval of an adjustment by the Planning Commission, pursuant to

15-7A-1: PURPOSE:
15-7A-2: ACTIVATION:
15-7A-3: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
15-7A-4: LIVEIWORK DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
15-7A-1: PURPOSE -:-
A. The purpose of the Medium Density Residential (MDR) Overlay Zone is teTo provide
for an area within the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area that is appropriate for and
capable of sustaining residential uses.
B. Moreover, it is the intent in identifying the long-term potential for residential use in the
area designated to establish that residential use is explicitly excluded from the
remainder of the Smoky Hollow specific plan area, except for single caretaker dwelling
units provided for elsewhere in the plan.
C. The MDR Zone shall be considered a "floating zone" in that once a need is identified,
this zone can be activated. This floating zone for the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area
attempts to recognize that future residential market forces are anticipated in certain
portions of the specific plan area and sensible land use planning dictates their exact
locations given adjacent land uses and proximity to arterial streets.
D. In effect, this zone is not a true "floating zone" in that it does not add more regulations
over the existing Smoky Hollow East base zone. Rather, it is a "holding zone" which
can be activated and used in place of the base zone.
15-7A-2: ACTIVATION:
The following processes activate the MDR Zone:
A. A General Plan amendment to change the designation for proposed activated property
from Smoky Hollow Specific Plan to Multi -Family Residential;
B. A Specific Plan amendment to remove the proposed activated property from the
Smoky Hollow Specific Plan; and
C. A Zone Change application to change the zone of the proposed activated property
from Smoky Hollow East with MDR Overlay to Multi -Family Residential (R-3) without
MDR Overlay.
15-7A-3: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS -:-
The development standards that apply to the underlying base zone shall apply unless
and until the MDR is activated. If the MDR is properly activated, Multi -Family Residential
(R-3) zoning standards shall apply to the activated property along with the following
Page 287 of 370
additional standards:
A. The setback along Grand Avenue shall be 30 feet k3&� minimum for properties
east of Kansas Street, whether it is for a front or side yard.
B. Vehicular access to MDR activated properties may not be taken directly from Grand
Avenue. (Ord. 1580, 2-5-2019)
15-7A-4: LIVEIWORK DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Live/work uses are in addition to residential uses and must comply with all the following:
A. Live/work uses cannot be open to walk-in trade or client visits other than by
appointment:
B. Only one employee, other than the resident, may be employed on site:
C. Work activity must be conducted entirely within the individual unit:
D. Outdoor storage is not permitted:
E. Live/work uses cannot generate hazardous materials or employ hazardous
processes:
F. The live/work use cannot be publicly observed:

street parking spaces available for residential use:
I. One wall sign is permitted at the entrance of each individual unit. The wall sign cannot
exceed six square feet and cannot extend above or out from the wall. Signs cannot
emit sounds, odor, or visible matter, such as smoke or steam. Signage may be lighted
from another source such as gooseneck lamps. Internally illuminated and neon signs
are not allowed. Rooftop signaqe is not allowed within the zone. Signs cannot contain
any revolving, fluttering, flashing or spinning elements. All signaqe is subject to city

TITLE:
City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 18, 2023
Agenda Heading: Public Hearings
Item Number: C.11
Amendments to El Segundo Municipal Code Titles 7, 13, and 15 to Streamline
Permitted Uses and Development Standards in All Zones and Implement Several
Cleanup, Clarifying, and Conforming Provisions

Code ("ESMC") Titles 7, 13, and 15 to streamline the permitted uses and
development standards in all zones and implement several cleanup, clarifying,
and conforming provisions in chapters/sections 7-2-2, 13-13-2, 15-1-6, 15-2-4,
15-2-5, 15-2-7, 15-2-8, 15-2-14, 15-2-15, 15-4, 15-5, 15-6, 15-7, 15-8, 15-10, 15-
15, 15-18-5, 15-30, 15-31-3 through 15-31-6, and 15-32-9; and find it is exempt
under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQX) pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines §§ 15060(c)(3), 15061(b)(3), and 15168(c)(2), as further described
below.
3. Schedule a second reading of the ordinance for the May 2, 2023 City Council
meeting.
4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed ESMC amendments are not anticipated to have any fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed ordinance is part of staffs efforts to improve the City's development
review process, consistent with the City Council's strategic goal No. 1 to enhance
customer service. In 2021, the City adopted an ordinance to streamline the discretionary
permit process. The 2021 ordinance amended the zoning code to simplify and make
Page 133 of 418
Zoning Code Clean up
April 18, 2023
Page 2 of 12
discretionary processes more predictable for the public and staff. This proposed
ordinance (Exhibit No. 1) does not change the permit process; rather, it substantially
streamlines the permitted uses and development standards in various zones and makes
miscellaneous clarifications and improvements.
DISCUSSION:
The discussion section summarizes and provides the reasoning for the proposed
amendments.
Chapter 2 - General Provisions
Wall and fence height regulations (ESMC section 15-2-4):
a. Nonresidential walls and fences. Currently, the ESMC has no specific
requirements regarding nonresidential walls and fences; their height is subject
only to Director's discretion. The draft ordinance sets a maximum height of
eight feet for open-work fences anywhere on a property, a maximum height of
six feet for solid fences or walls anywhere behind the front or streetside
setback, and 42 inches for solid fences or walls in the front or streetside yard
setback.
b. Retaining walls protecting cuts. Currently, the ESMC has no cut slope
retaining wall height limitation, which can result in excessively tall walls and
fences along front and streetside setbacks. The draft ordinance sets a height
limit of three feet for retaining walls that protect a cut slope in a required front
or streetside setback for residential and nonresidential properties.
c. Temporary construction fencing. Currently, the ESMC does not explicitly
require temporary construction fencing. The draft ordinance requires such
fencing to surround safety hazards and screen construction equipment and
material. The ordinance also sets specific timeframes for the erection and
removal of temporary construction fencing.
d. Updated diagrams to reflect changes to fence and wall height regulations.
Permitted setback encroachments (ESMC Section 15-2-7):
a. Minor formatting edits.
b. Built-in barbeques. The draft ordinance allows built-in barbeque to have to
have a zero -foot setback on interior side and rear setbacks, subject to
restrictions on material, height, distance from other structures, and compliance
Page 134 of 418
Zoning Code Clean up
April 18, 2023
Page 3 of 12
with the California Fire Code.
Screening requirements (ESMC Section 15-2-8) regarding solar energy systems:
a. Require screening for solar energy system equipment to the extent feasible.
b. Clarify that the actual solar panels are exempt from screening.
Chapter 4 - Residential Zones
Consolidation of permitted uses for residential zones into one table. The draft ordinance
creates a new ESMC Section 15-4A-1 with a table for the permitted uses, accessory
uses, and uses subject to a conditional use permit in residential zones. The table
shortens and standardizes the permitted use types and provides a comprehensive list in
an easy -to -use format for all users. A substantive change in the permitted uses is to add
large family daycare homes to the permitted uses list in the R-1, R-2, and R-3 zones,
which ensures compliance with State Law that requires these uses to be treated as
residential uses and prohibits discretionary permits and restrictions.
R-1 zone development standards:
a. Front and rear yard setbacks. Currently, the ESMC requires a combined
setback of 30 feet with a minimum of 22 feet in the front and five feet in the
rear. The draft ordinance eliminates the combined setback requirement and
sets the front setback to 22 and the rear to five feet.
b. Front yard setback encroachments. The draft ordinance simplifies and clarifies
the permitted front yard encroachments for patios, decks, covers, and other
architectural features that are currently allowed. It also consolidates eight
types of encroachments into five.
c. Simplify the lot width requirement for new lots. Currently, the ESMC sets a
minimum lot width of 50 feet, with an exception that permits an alternative
standard using the average width of other parcels on the same block. The
draft ordinance eliminates this exception to the minimum lot width.
d. Clarify that decks under 30 inches in height do not count in floor area ratio
(FAR) measurement.
e. Front yard setback encroachments on lots that are 25 feet wide or less.
Currently, the ESMC does not permit any front yard encroachments on narrow
lots. The draft ordinance allows the same encroachments that are permitted
for wider lots.

f. Permit artificial turf or synthetic grass for landscaping purposes subject to
restrictions. The draft ordinance moves an existing code provision from ESMC
Chapter 15-2 (General Provisions) to individual residential zones.
g. Vehicular access from alley. Currently, the ESMC requires lots abutting an
alley to take vehicular access from the alley but allows an exception when 80
percent or more of the properties on the block have existing vehicular access
from the street. The draft ordinance eliminates the exception and requires lots
abutting an alley to take vehicular access exclusively from the alley.
R-2 zone development standards:
a. Front and rear yard setbacks. Currently, the ESMC requires a combined
setback of 30 feet with a minimum of 20 feet in the front and five feet in the
rear. The draft ordinance eliminates the combined setback requirement and
sets the front setback to 20 and the rear to five feet.
b. Front yard setback encroachments. The draft ordinance proposes the same
encroachments that are allowed in the R-1 zone.
c. Simplify the lot width requirement for new lots. Consistent with the R-1 zone,
the draft ordinance eliminates an exception to the minimum lot width of 50
feet, which permits using the average width of other parcels on the same
block.
d. Add the same minimum distance requirement between buildings required in
the R-1 zone.
e. Permit artificial turf or synthetic grass for landscaping purposes subject to
restriction. The draft ordinance moves an existing code provision from ESMC
Chapter 15-2 (General Provisions) to individual residential zones.
Vehicular access from alley. Currently, the ESMC requires lots abutting an
alley to take vehicular access from the alley but allows an exception when 80
percent or more of the properties on the block have existing vehicular access
from the street. The draft ordinance eliminates the exception and requires lots
abutting an alley to take vehicular access exclusively from the alley.
R-3 zone development standards:
a. Front yard setback encroachments. The draft ordinance proposes the same
encroachments that are allowed in the R-1 and R-2 zones.
b. Simplify the lot width requirement for new lots. Consistent with the R-1 and R-
CD

2 zones, the draft ordinance eliminates an exception to the minimum lot width
of 50 feet, which permits using the average width of other parcels on the same
block.
c. Minimum distance requirement between buildings. The draft ordinance adds
the same distance requirement for buildings in the R-3 zone that is required in
the R-1 and R-2 zones.
d. Eliminate accessory dwelling unit (ADU) density language. The draft
ordinance deletes redundant ADU density requirements in the R-3 zone,
because it is address in ESMC Artible 154E regarding ADUs.
e. Permit artificial turf or synthetic grass for landscaping purposes subject to
restrictions. The draft ordinance moves an existing code provision from ESMC
Chapter 15-2 (General Provisions) to individual residential zones.
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) development standards. The draft ordinance clarifies
ADU development standards and ensures further consistency with State Law:
a. Clarify the permitted density for ADUs in single-family and multi -family
developments.
b. Clarify parking requirement exemption for ADUs within a 1/2-mile walking
distance from qualifying transit stops.
c. Clarify the permit streamlining provisions for ADUs.
Chapter 5 - Commercial Zones
Consolidation of permitted uses for commercial zones into one table. The draft
ordinance creates a new ESMC Section 15-5A-1 with a table for the permitted uses,
accessory uses, and uses subject to a conditional use permit in commercial (CR-S, C-2,
C-3, C-4, CO, MU-N, and MU-S) zones. The table shortens and standardizes the
permitted use types and provides a comprehensive list in an easy -to -use format for all
users. The substantive changes in the permitted uses include:
a. Add micro -breweries with tasting rooms and/or dining to the conditionally
permitted uses in the MU-N and MU-S zones. These zones currently permit
both light industrial and commercial uses. Thus, micro -breweries, which
combine manufacturing with sale and service of beer, are a compatible use
with other permitted uses.
b. Add outdoor dining to the permitted accessory uses in all commercial zones.
Currently, the ESMC requires a CUP for all outdoor dining areas exceeding
CD

Zoning Code Clean up

Page 6 of 12
200 square feet. Currently, the ESMC requires a CUP for all outdoor dining
areas exceeding 200 square feet. Eliminating the CUP requirement will
facilitate the use of outdoor dining and promote a pedestrian -friendly
environment in the City's commercial zones.
c. Prohibit service stations in the CR-S and C-2 zones. Currently, the ESMC
requires a CUP for service stations in these zones, provided they are located
at least 500 feet from residentially zoned properties. Currently, there are no
CR-S or C-2 zoned properties that meet this distance requirement, thus it is
not possible to have new service stations in the CR-S and C-2 zones.
d. Prohibit freight forwarding in the C-3 and MU-S zones. Existing freight
forwarding facilities in these zones would become legal -nonconforming uses.
e. Clarifications to the permitted accessory uses in commercial zones. The draft
ordinance clarifies that employee recreational areas, parking lots or structures,
and parking for bicycles, scooters, etc. are permitted accessory uses.
CR-S zone development standards:
a. Simplify the side and rear yard setback requirements. Currently, the ESMC
requires no side or rear yard setback unless the property abuts a public right-
of-way or a property with a different zone classification. In this case, the code
requires the average setback in the two zones with a minimum of 10 feet. The
draft ordinance eliminates the average setback requirement and sets 10 feet
as the required setback.
b. Clarify the residential use density in the CR-S zone. Currently, the ESMC has
two different standards for lots created prior to 1993 and lots created after
1993. The draft ordinance establishes a single density standard for all CR-S
zoned lots consistent with the density permitted today (one unit per 4,356
square feet).
C-2 zone development standards:
a. Simplify the front yard setback requirement. Currently, the ESMC requires a
minimum setback of 15 feet, but if the C-2 property abuts a residentially zoned
property, the required setback is the average of the two zones. The draft
ordinance eliminates the average setback requirement and sets 15 feet as the
required setback.
b. Simplify the side and rear yard setback requirements. Consistent with the CR-
S zone, the draft ordinance eliminates the average setback requirement and
sets 10 feet as the required setback.

c. Clarify the residential use density in the C-2 zone. Consistent with the CR-S
zone, the draft ordinance establishes a single density standard for all C-2
zoned lots consistent with the density permitted today (one unit per 4,356
square feet).
C-3 zone development standards:
a. Reduce the front yard setback requirement from 25 feet to 10 feet
b. Reduce and simplify the side and rear yard setback requirements.
i. Currently, the ESMC requires a minimum side and rear setback of 15
feet. The draft ordinance reduces the setback to zero feet.
ii. If the property abuts a public right-of-way, the ESMC requires a setback
of 25 feet. The draft ordinance reduces the setback to 10 feet.
iii. If the property abuts a property with a different zone classification, the
ESMC requires the average of the two setbacks with a minimum of 10
feet. The draft ordinance eliminates the average and sets the required
setback to 10 feet.
c. Modify setback measurement. The draft ordinance adds language to:
i. Clarify that setbacks must be measured from the edge of the future
public right-of-way as identified in the General Plan; and
ii. Clarify that setbacks must not be measured from legal easements other
than public right-of-way easements.
The above C-3 zone setback reductions will facilitate new development along Pacific
Coast Highway, an area where properties are very shallow. In addition, allowing
buildings to be constructed closer to the street front promotes more pedestrian -friendly
uses and activity.
CO zone development standards:
Simplify the side yard setback requirement. Currently, the ESMC requires a setback of
10 feet unless the property abuts a property with a different zone classification. In this
case, the code requires the average setback with a minimum of 10 feet. The draft
ordinance eliminates the average setback requirement and sets 10 feet as the minimum
required setback.
MU-N zone development standards:
a. Simplify the side yard setback requirement. Consistent with the CO zone, the
draft ordinance eliminates the average setback requirement and sets 10 feet as
the required setback.
Page 139 of 418
Zoning Code Clean up
April 18, 2023
Page 8 of 12
MU-S zone development standards:
a. Simplify the side yard setback requirement. Consistent with the CO and MU-N
zones, the draft ordinance eliminates the average setback requirement and
sets 10 feet as the required setback for a property abutting a property in a
different zone.
b. Reduce the rear yard setback requirement. Currently, the ESMC requires a
setback of 5 feet, unless the property abuts a public right-of-way. In this case,
the code requires a minimum of 30 feet. The draft ordinance reduces the
setback requirement to 20 feet.
C-4 zone development standards:
a. Simplify the side and rear yard setback requirements. Consistent with the CO,
MU-N, and MU-S zones, the draft ordinance eliminates the average setback
requirement and sets 10 feet as the minimum required setback for a property
abutting a property in a different zone.
Chapters 6-10 - Industrial Zones, Overlay Districts, Open Space, and Public
Facilities Zones
Consolidation of permitted uses for industrial zones into one table. The draft ordinance
creates a new ESMC Section 15-6A-1 with a table for the permitted uses, accessory
uses, and uses subject to a conditional use permit in industrial (M-1 and M-2) zones.
The table shortens and standardizes the permitted use types and provides a
comprehensive list in an easy -to -use format for all users. The only substantive change
in the permitted uses in the addition of solar energy systems to the permitted uses.
M-1 and M-2 zone development standards:
a. Simplify the side yard setback requirement. Currently, the ESMC requires a
setback of 15 feet, unless the property abuts a property with a different zone
classification. In this case, the code requires the largest of the setbacks in the
two zones. The draft ordinance eliminates the largest setback requirement and
sets 15 feet as the required setback.
b. Simplify the rear yard setback requirement. Currently, the ESMC requires a
setback of 10 feet, unless the property abuts a property with a different zone
classification. Then, the code requires the largest of the setbacks in the two
zones. The draft ordinance eliminates the largest setback requirement and sets
10 feet as the required setback.

MDR Overlay development standards:
a. Add development standards for live/work uses. Currently, the ESMC contains
development standards for live/work uses in the definitions section of the Zoning
Code. The draft ordinance moves the standards to the Medium Density
Residential (MDR) Overlay Zone (ESMC Article 15-7A) where they are easier to
find.
MMO Overlay permitted accessory uses:
a. Add outdoor dining areas to the permitted accessory uses. Currently, the ESMC
does not list outdoor dining as a permitted or conditionally permitted use in the
MMO overlay. The draft ordinance adds outdoor dining areas to the permitted
accessory uses.
O-S Zone permitted accessory uses:
a. Add solar energy systems to the permitted accessory uses. Currently, the ESMC
does not list solar energy systems as a permitted or conditionally permitted use
in the MMO overlay. The draft ordinance adds solar energy systems to the
permitted accessory uses.
Chapter 15 - Off street parking requirements
Parking area development standards:
a. Delete obsolete tire stop requirements.
b. Revise the minimum dimensions for vehicle lifts. Currently, the ESMC requires
dimensions of 11 feet by 21 feet. The draft ordinance reduces the dimensions to
the standard space dimensions of 8.5 feet by 18 feet to reflect changes in vehicle
lift technology.
c. Clarify that parking spaces in excess of the minimum number required may be
provided in tandem configuration.
d. Amend the parking clearance and obstruction standards to allow electric vehicle
charging stations to encroach into existing parking spaces by up to two feet.
e. Streamline the vehicle lift permit process in residential zones, permit them as
tandem spaces in nonresidential zones, and set a stacking limit of two vehicles.
Page 141 of 418
Zoning Code Clean up
April 18, 2023
Page 10 of 12
Required parking spaces:
a. Establish a minimum standard for motion picture studios/sound stages of one
space for each 500 square feet for the first 25,000 square feet and one space
for each 1,000 square feet above 25,000 square feet. Establishing a standard
for these uses will expedite the permit process for new studio uses in the City.
The proposed standard is consistent with those in other cities and with parking
demand studies conducted for studios in El Segundo.
b. Change the daycare facility parking requirement to match that of pre-schools
and schools. Currently, the ESMC has two separate parking requirements for
daycare facilities and pre-schools, which has led to confusion regarding the
required parking for daycare facilities, which often care for children of pre-
school age.
c. Simplify the bicycle parking requirements and align them with Building Code
requirements.
Chapters 1, 2, 4, 7, 18, 30, 31, and 32 - Miscellaneous clarifications and
corrections
The draft ordinance contains miscellaneous amendments mostly in the Zoning Code,
but a few in other ESMC titles. The amendments improve clarity and overall usability of
existing code provisions, and include the following:
a. Update the Community Development Department name throughout.
b. Clarify the Building Official or designee is responsible for assigning addresses
(ESMC Chapter 13-13).
c. Update and add definitions of terms (Section 15-1-6).
d. Delete ESMC Section 15-2-5 (Height Restrictions for Buildings on Through
Lots). These restrictions conflict with the recently adopted building height
definition and measurement method.
e. Format and language edits in the corner and alley clearance provisions
(ESMC Section 15-2-6).
f. Format and language edits to the general landscaping provisions (ESMC
Section 15-2-14).
g. Delete obsolete video arcade provisions (ESMC Section 15-2-15).

i. Move live -work development standards from the definitions section to the
Medium Density Residential (MDR) Overlay (ESMC Article 15-7A).
j. Add solar energy systems to the permitted uses in various zones.
k. Clarify that Master Sign Program reviews and approvals are ministerial (ESMC
Section 15-18-5).
I. Make formatting changes to the enforcement and penalties chapter (ESMC
Chapter 15-30).
m. Make formatting changes and clarify the notification requirements regarding
public right-of-way dedications and waivers (ESMC Chapter 15-31).
n. Clarify that development impact mitigation fee refunds are subject to review
and approval by the Community Development and Public Works Directors
(ESMC Section 15-32-9).
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION:
The proposed zone text amendment is exempt from further review under CEQA and the
CEQA Guidelines because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to
existing zoning regulations and related procedures. It does not have the effect of
deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings required thereof.
The proposed Ordinance is an action that does not have the potential to cause
significant effects on the environment. In addition, any environmental impacts
associated with this Ordinance are adequately addressed in the General Plan FEIR.
Accordingly, this Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan FEIR and is exempt
from further environmental review requirements under the California Environmental
Quality Act. Furthermore, this Ordinance constitutes a component of the El Segundo
Municipal Code which the Planning Commission determined to be consistent with the
FEIR for the City of El Segundo General Plan on December 1, 1992. Accordingly, no
further environmental review is required pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section
15168(c)(2).
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability
Objective 5A: El Segundo promotes economic growth and vitality for business and the
community.

GIRT411 City Council Agenda Statement
ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 16, 2023
Agenda Heading: Public Hearings
Item Number: C.17
TITLE:
Update on Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Issues and Proposed Resolution
Authorizing Sale of Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Demonstration House at 910
Hillcrest Street
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive and file the update presentation from staff and outside legal council.
2. Adopt a resolution declaring the property at 910 Hillcrest Street, El Segundo to
be surplus land and authorizing its sale.
3. Authorize staff to proceed with the selection of a realtor (if/when applicable),
establishing base qualifications and using a lottery system.
4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Ongoing staff, consultants, and legal costs associated with the City's LAX monitoring
and engagement are included in the City's annual budget. Selling the RSI
demonstration house will avoid future City costs associated with care -taking of the
house. The City's costs associated with the sale of the house will be reimbursed from
sale proceeds.
BACKGROUND:
LAX Issues Generally: The City of El Segundo has been consistently and actively engaged on
issues related to LAX, with the goal of ensuring LAX is a good neighbor and does not operate or
expand in a way that results in harm to El Segundo. Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), which
operates LAX, regularly advances proposals to expand and modernize LAX facilities. In
response, El Segundo has monitored LAX carefully and engaged actively.
Staff worked with outside legal counsel to prepare the attached presentation as an update the
Page 324 of 370
LAX Update and Sale of RSI House
May 16, 2023
Page 2 of 4
Council and public. As noted in the presentation, El Segundo's engagement on LAX issues has
spanned years and taken many different forms, including commenting on environmental (CEQA)
analysis, litigation in court, participation in other formal legal proceedings, and negotiation of
various agreements including settlements and pre -litigation memoranda of understanding
(MOUs).
The presentation highlights some of those favorable agreements, with a particular focus on the
2021 MOU related to LAX's Airfield & Terminal Modernization Project (ATMP) & Midfield
Satellite Concourse (MSC). That 2021 MOU covers areas including:
LAWA, FAA & El Segundo meet regularly on issues of mutual
interest.
LAWA took over RSI from El Segundo, including enhancements (e.g.,
block rounding & owner upgrades). Cooperating on demo house
sale.
Green Infrastructure Project, including Safety Improvements
North Side Aesthetic Improvements
Conditions on use of haul routes and road condition maintenance
Lease renewals for LAX uses along Imperial west of Sepulveda must
provide sufficient parking for employees, contractors & visitors.
Annual gate counts to confirm continued compliance
GSE operators must meet emissions policy
LAX Cargo study includes El Segundo as a stakeholder. Analyzing
shift of cargo facilities along Imperial from west to east of
Sepulveda
RSI Demonstration House: The City of El Segundo owns the property at 910 Hillcrest Street, a
6,718 square foot (approximately 0.15 acre) parcel improved with a 1,056 square foot house.
The City purchased the Property in 1990 with grant funds from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) for the purpose of providing a demonstration house for the City's
Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Program.
The City terminated its RSI program in 2018 and Los Angeles World Airport (LAWA) is now
operating an RSI program that includes areas within the City of Los Angeles and the City of El
Segundo. Pursuant to the 2021 MOU, El Segundo and LAWA are jointly pursuing sale of the
Page 325 of 370
LAX Update and Sale of RSI House
May 16, 2023
Page 3 of 4
property with the proceeds to be used for the RSI program in El Segundo.
Because sale of the property is subject to FAA rules, El Segundo and LAWA consulted with FAA
staff and confirmed that the property must be appraised and sold at fair market value. The fair
market value of the property was identified as $1,325,000 and $1,500,000 in two recent
appraisals. Those appraisals have been provided to LAWA and FAA.
Because sale of the property is also subject to the California Surplus Land Act, El Segundo and
LAWA also consulted with staff at the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD). HCD advised the City it must complete a 60-day notice of availability
(NOA) process prior to sale. The City prepared the attached NOA and HCD has provided the
attached approval letter. If the City does not receive any responses to the NOA during the 60-
day notice period, staff will engage a real estate agent to list the house for sale on the open
market. The house will be sold as -is.
DISCUSSION:
The LAX presentation is being provided as an update and an opportunity for the Council
to ask questions. No Council action is requested.
The proposed resolution will authorize staff to proceed with sale of the RSI demo house
consistent with FAA's requirements and the Surplus Land Act. The sale process is
anticipated to take several months and will involve continued outreach to neighbors of
the RSI demo house.
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.

To All Interested Parties:
RE: Notice of Availability/Offer to Sell Surplus Property
As required by Government Code Section 54220 of the State of California, the City of El
Segundo is providing notification that it intends to sell the surplus property at 910 Hillcrest
Street, El Segundo, CA 90245.
The City purchased the property in 1990 with grant funds from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) for the purpose of providing a demonstration house for the City's
Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Program to mitigate sound from nearby Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX). The property measures approximately 0.15 acre and is improved
with an approximately 1,056 square -foot, one -unit house (unoccupied). The sale of the property
is subject to FAA rules, including a requirement to sell the property for fair market value. FAA
has accepted the appraisal(s) and requires the property be sold for the appraised value or more,
paid at closing.
In accordance with Government Code Section 54222, you have sixty (60) days from the date this
offer was sent to notify the City of your interest in acquiring the property. However, this notice
shall not obligate the City to sell the property to you. Instead, the City would enter into at least
ninety (90) days of negotiations with you pursuant to Government Code Section 54223. If no
agreement is reached on sales price and terms, the City may market the property to the general
public. If the City receives more than one letter of interest during this 60 day period, it will
proceed as described in Government Code Section 54227.
In the event your agency or company is interested in purchasing the property, you must notify
the City in writing within sixty (60) days of the date this notice was sent. Notice of your interest
in acquiring the property shall be delivered to Michael Allen, City Hall, Community
Development, 350 Main Street, El Segundo, CA 90245. You may also direct your questions to
Michael Allen at Otte Ci)e se(yauL ,_ M or call (310)524-2345.
Entities proposing to submit a letter of interest are advised to review the requirements set forth in
the Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220-54234).

GIRT411 City Council Agenda Statement
ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 16, 2023
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.18
TITLE:
Resident and Business 2023 Survey Results Regarding Satisfaction with City Services
(Net Promoter Survey Results)
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the City's sixth resident and business Net Promoter Score
survey results.
2. Alternatively, discuss other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Included in the adopted FY23 Budget. The City utilizes a cloud -based software service
"Qualtrics" to conduct the Net Promoter surveys and data analysis, as well as other
City surveys throughout the year, for an annual fee of $20,789.
Amount Budgeted: $22,000
Additional Appropriation: None.
Account Number(s): 001-400-2102-6206
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the first goal of the City's Strategic Plan, "Enhance Customer
Service, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Communications," City Council directed staff to
conduct resident and business satisfaction surveys using the Net Promoter Score (NPS)
methodology. This is the sixth NPS survey. The goal of this annual survey is to
measure the City's customer service performance, identify areas of success and areas
that need improvement, and take the necessary actions to improve.
Net Promoter Question
To calculate the City's NPS, survey respondents are asked the following NPS question.
In addition, several questions were asked regarding various attributes of City services.
Page 344 of 370
2023 Net Promoter Survey Results
May 16, 2023
Page 2 of 6
Resident Survey NPS Question
On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is very likely, 5 is neutral and 0 is very unlikely, based
on your personal experiences, how likely would you recommend the City of El Segundo
to a friend or family member considering moving to the area?
Business Survey NPS Question
On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is very likely, 5 is neutral and 0 is very unlikely, based
on your company's experience, how likely would you recommend the City of El Segundo
to a business associate or colleague?
Respondents are grouped as follows:
Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep engaging and refer
to others, fueling possible growth.
Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are
vulnerable to alternative offerings.
Detractors (score 0- 6) are unhappy customers who can damage the City's
reputation and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth.
Subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters yields the
"Net Promoter Score", which can range from a low of -100 (if every customer is a
detractor) to a high of 100 (if every customer is a promoter).
Attributes Rankings
In addition to the Net Promoter question, respondents were asked to rate how satisfied
they were with various attributes of City services. These questions were asked to solicit
resident perceptions on particular areas of City operations, including: police, fire,
recreation & parks, public library services, City infrastructure, utility billing, and City
Council. Respondents were asked to rank, on a five -point scale, their level of
satisfaction as follows: Very Dissatisfied (1), Dissatisfied (2), Neutral (3), Satisfied (4) or
Very Satisfied (5).
Business respondents were asked to rate how satisfied they were with the City on the
following attributes:
• Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of working with the Community
Development Department for plan checks, permits, or inspection services
• City zoning policies
• Business development and attraction policies
• Availability and responsiveness of Police Department services
Page 345 of 370
2023 Net Promoter Survey Results
May 16, 2023
Page 3 of 6
Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of Fire Department & Field
Inspection services
Business license renewal process
Residents were asked to rate, on a five -point scale, how satisfied they were with the
City on the following attributes:
• Maintenance and upkeep of recreation and park facilities
• Quality of Recreation and Parks programs offered
• Resources and services provided by the Public Library
• Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of Fire & Paramedic services
• Availability and responsiveness of Police Department services
• Condition of City infrastructure: streets, sidewalks and public facilities
• Water and sewer billing department customer service
• Responsiveness and overall vision of City Council
The Likert scale methodology was utilized to analyze the results:
• A mean score of 4.2 or greater = "very satisfied"
• A mean score of 3.41-4.2 = "satisfied"
• A mean score of 2.61-3.4 = "neutral"
• A mean score of 1.81-2.6 = "dissatisfied"
• A mean score under 1.8 = "very dissatisfied"
Overall City Improvement Ranking
Lastly, respondents were asked to rate, on a five -point scale, how the City has improved
over the last year. The Likert scale methodology was also utilized to analyze the
results.
DISCUSSION:
A total of 6,965 surveys were sent to residents and businesses. The total response rate
for both surveys was 14% (976). Online surveys were sent via email to 3,986 business
contacts and 1,930 residents. In addition to online surveys, traditional paper surveys
were sent via the US postal service to 1,049 residents for whom email addresses were
not available.
Resident Survey Results and Key Findings
2,979 surveys were sent to residents and 611 responses were received for a response
rate of 20.5%, which is a 4.5% decrease from the 25% response rate (902 responses)
Page 346 of 370
2023 Net Promoter Survey Results
May 16, 2023
Page 4 of 6
in 2022. 88% of all respondents are either "Promoters" (61 %) or "Passives" (27%), while
12% are "Detractors." When comparing the results of the 2022 survey with this year's
results, the NPS decreased by two points from 51 to 49.
The primary concerns among detractors were:
• Issues related to odor/air quality (predominantly Hyperion, some mention of
Chevron and LAX)
• Police presence (more patrol and crime prevention, reduce homelessness)
• Issues related to the loss of the city's "small town" environment (rapid growth)
• Housing and cost of living increases
• Parking issues
Attribute Ranking Results
The attribute rankings described above were analyzed based on the mean score for
each response. The following areas are viewed as strengths falling in the range of "very
satisfied": (4.2 to 5):
Responsiveness, knowledge, and competency of fire & paramedic services
(4.52)
Availability & responsiveness of the Police Department (4.31)
The following were identified as areas of modest concern due to mean scores in the
"satisfied range" (3.41 to 4.2):
• Maintenance and upkeep of recreation and parks facilities (4.19)
• Resources and services provided by the Public Library (4.15)
• Quality of recreation and parks programs offered (4.10)
• Condition of City Infrastructure: streets, sidewalks and public facilities (3.80)
• Water and sewer billing department customer service (3.78)
• Responsiveness and overall vision of City Council (3.48)
Overall City Improvement
The final question asked respondents to rank overall City improvement over the last
year. The results showed that on average, residents are neutral on this topic, giving a
mean score of 3.21 on the five -point Likert scale, which is a "neutral" ranking. A neutral
ranking is viewed as an area of improvement because these residents are at risk of
moving to the dissatisfied range if perceptions are not improved.

Page 5 of 6
Business Survey Results and Key Findings
3,986 surveys were sent to businesses and 365 responses were received for a
response rate of 9%, which is an 11 % decrease from the 20% response rate (643
responses) in 2022. A total of 88% of all respondents are either "Promoters" (67%) or
"Passives" (21 %), while 12% are "Detractors". The 2023 NPS was 55, maintaining the
same score as the 2022 survey.
The primary concerns among detractors were:
• Issues related to supporting small businesses
• Police presence (concerns about increased crime in the area)
• Parking and speeding issues
• Issues with the permitting process
The attribute rankings described above were analyzed based on the mean score for
each response. The following areas are viewed as strengths falling in the range of "very
satisfied": (4.2 to 5):
• Business license renewal process (4.48)
The following were identified as areas of modest concern due to mean scores in the
"satisfied range" (3.41 to 4.2):
• Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of Fire Department & Field
Inspection services (4.06)
• Availability and responsiveness of Police Department services (4.03)
• Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of working with the Community
Development Department for plan checks, permits, or inspection services (3.90)
• Business development and attraction policies (3.86)
• City zoning policies (3.72)
Overall City Improvement
The final question asked business respondents to rank overall City improvement over
the last year. The results showed that, on average, business respondents feel that the
City has made some improvement over the last year, giving a mean score of 3.63 on
the five -point Likert scale.
Next Steps

ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 16, 2023
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.19
TITLE:
Expansion of the Lateral Police Officer Recruitment Incentive Program
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Side Letter Agreement between the City of El Segundo and El
Segundo Police Officers' Association (POA) to expand the Lateral Police Officer
Recruitment Incentive Program to include a $40,000 incentive payment to
successful lateral police officer candidates (subject to stipulations and
disbursement schedules), increase the employee referral bonus to $10,000, and
expand the eligibility for the employee referral bonus to include current City
employees who recruit a lateral police officer.
2. Adopt the Resolution approving the Side Letter Agreement between the City of El
Segundo and El Segundo Police Officers' Association.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The immediate fiscal impact of the expansion of the Lateral Police Officer Recruitment
Incentive Program is unknown as it is dependent on the number of officers hired. The
maximum fiscal impact of the program is up to $500,000 which can be funded through
position vacancies in the Police Department budget.
BACKGROUND:
Currently, the City offers a cash incentive of $3,000 to lateral police officers, paid in two
payments, $1,500 at time of hire and $1,500 at successful completion of probation.
Officers who recruit a lateral entry police officer receive $1,500, also paid in two equal
payments ($750).
In 2018, the El Segundo Police Department implemented a hiring bonus of $25,000 for
lateral police officers, $10,000 for pre -service and academy graduates and $5,000 for
Page 350 of 370

Page 2 of 4
entry level police officers. At the start of this program there were 48 officers, and by
November 2019 the Department was fully staffed (62 officers). The program ended in
September 2020. The program was successful and attracted many qualified police
officer lateral applicants.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, the Department has 58 officers out of a total of 62 authorized in the FY 2022-
23 budget. Despite significant efforts, hiring qualified applicants has been difficult. With
the anticipation of several retirements as well as continued competition from
surrounding police agencies, instituting a financial incentive program will make ESPD
competitive in attracting qualified lateral applicants.
Unlike entry-level candidates, who must attend a police academy and go through six
months of Field Training, lateral entry police officers bring experience to the Department
and are generally able to successfully operate as a solo patrol officer in three to four
months. This accelerated process results in more effective utilization of City funds and
Department training resources.
Attracting lateral entry police officer applicants is a primary goal of this incentive
program; however, current staffing needs require a multifaceted approach which
requires enhanced bonuses for recruiters in order to increase the overall lateral
applicant pool.
PROPOSED RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM:
The Police Department recommends the Lateral Incentive Program as outlined to
remain in effect until September 30, 2024, or when ten laterals join the program, at
which time staff will assess the effectiveness of the program and provide additional
recommendations. The following amounts are not subject to PERS, meaning they do
not add to an individual employee's salary, but are merely one-time cash payments.
Lateral Police Officer Hiring Incentive: The Lateral Officer incentive will be
$40,000 awarded to successful candidates, paid in five increments.
1. $10,000 when the officer is hired
2. $10,000 when the officer completes probation (one year)
3. $8,000 when the officer completes their second year
4. $6,000 when the officer completes their third year
5. $6,000 when the officer completes their fourth year
2. To qualify for the cash incentives, the lateral applicant must:
1. Be currently employed as a peace officer within a CA law enforcement
agency
2. Possess a CA POST BASIC Certificate
Page 351 of 370
Police Recruitment Incentive Program
May 16, 2023
Page 3 of 4
3. The bonus for any City employee who recruits lateral officers will be $10,000, as
follows:
1. $5,000 when the lateral officer is hired
2. $5,000 when the lateral officer completes probation
There are currently four police officer vacancies, with another ten possible vacancies in
the near future. Hypothetically, if all vacancies were filled with ten lateral applicants
($40,000 bonus), and a City employee receives a recruitment bonus for each applicant
($10,000) the total cost for the program would be $500,000.
In researching other agencies that are offering recruitment incentives in California, the
incentives range from $5,000 up to $75,000 (Alameda Police Department). In the South
Bay, the following agencies are offering hiring bonuses for lateral police officers:
Beverly Hills: $20,000
Hermosa Beach: $40,000
Inglewood: $40,000
Staff recommends the implementation of this lateral incentive immediately. Police
recruitment remains very competitive in a difficult environment. With the incentive
program, the Department believes it will attract more qualified applicants, which will
allow the Department to quickly fill the vacancies. In addition, with the recruitment
incentive extended to all City of El Segundo employees, it will allow the Department to
cast a wider net with the possibility of each city employee recruiting for the Department.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 2: Support Community Safety and Preparedness
Objective: El Segundo is a safe and prepared city.
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.

Side Letter Agreement Between the City of El Segundo and the El Segundo Police
Services Support Employees' Association (PSSEA)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the Side Letter Agreement between the City of El Segundo and El
Segundo Police Services Support Employees' Association.
2. Adopt the Resolution approving the Side Letter Agreement between the City of El
Segundo and El Segundo Police Services Support Employees' Association.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 Budget and will be included in the proposed FY
2023-24 Budget.
Amount Budgeted: $456 for FY 2022-23 (mid -May through June 30) & $3,650 for FY
2023-24.
Additional Appropriation: None
Account Number(s): 001-400-3101-4201 (Police Department Administration - CalPERS
Retirement)
BACKGROUND:
The City contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS)
to provide retirement benefits which are funded through employee and employer
designated contributions. Employee contributions are negotiated through the meet and
confer process and memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which
is ratified by its members and approved by the governing body.
Page 361 of 370
PSSEA Side Letter
May 16, 2023
Page 2 of 3
On March 19, 2019, the El Segundo City Council adopted a resolution approving a
successor MOU with Police Services Support Employees' Association (PSSEA) for the
term October 1, 2018, through September 29, 2022. The adopted and approved PSSEA
MOU provided that miscellaneous employees defined as "classic" members would
increase CalPERS retirement payments by an additional one percent (1 %) for a total
employee contribution of eight percent (8%) of compensation beginning March 2019.
Along with the additional withholding, a contract amendment with CalPERS is required
to properly allocate the one percent (1 %) as an employee contribution. Neither action to
begin withholding the additional contribution or amend the CalPERS contract for the
cost sharing provision was implemented. The operative MOU expired September 29,
2022 and while the City and PSSEA are currently negotiating a successor MOU, both
parties have agreed to a Side Letter which begins the additional withholding while the
CalPERS contract amendment process moves forward.
The process requires that the City submit the required forms to CalPERS for review and
approval, conduct an election of impacted members, approve and adopt a resolution to
amend the contract, and receive final notification that the amendment process is
complete.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends approval of the Side Letter between the City of El Segundo and
PSSEA which memorializes the agreement to start the previously approved additional
one percent (1%) employee contribution to CalPERS and adoption of the associated
resolution.
Upon approval of the Side Letter and adoption of the resolution, the City will send the
executed documents to CalPERS and request to begin the contract amendment
process. Once the documents required to start the contract amendment process have
been successfully submitted, the City will begin the one percent (1 %) deduction which
will constitute an employer contribution. When CalPERS approves the contract
amendment, the City will convert the one percent (1 %) employer contribution to an
employee contribution so that PSSEA members receive credit.

WHEREAS, the MOU provides that "Effective the beginning of the pay period
following Council adoption, employees classified as "classic" PERS shall contribute an
additional One Percent (1 %) [total of 8%] of the employee normal cost as provided under

WHEREAS, the City did not start the withholding following the City Council's
adoption of the MOU or withhold the agreed upon amount from "classic" members during

Within two (2) weeks of the City Council adopting the resolution approving this side
letter, the City will send an executed copy of this side letter to the California Public
Employees' Retirement System ("CaIPERS") requesting an amendment to the City's
contract with CaIPERS in order for the contract to reflect that the additional one percent
(1 %) that the City is providing to CaIPERS is a contribution by members, not the City;
As soon as is practicable following the City's receipt of "Resolution of Intention
Packet" from CaIPERS, the City will conduct an election of the "classic" members in the
bargaining unit. As soon as is practicable following the completion of the election, the City
will submit to the City Council a resolution authorizing the contract amendment. As soon
as is practicable following the City Council's vote on the resolution, the City will submit to
CaIPERS the forms necessary for CaIPERS to review and approve the proposed contract

Agenda Heading: Mayor Pro Tern Pimentel
Item Number: 21
TITLE:
Formation of an Ad Hoc City Council Subcommittee to Receive Updates from the El
Segundo Economic Development Corporation
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Consideration and possible action to form an ad hoc city council subcommittee to
receive updates from the El Segundo Economic Development Corporation.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this matter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
El Segundo Economic Development Council (ESEDC) is a privately run 501c3 non-
profit organization comprised of El Segundo business leaders. ESEDC was established
to guide the City's efforts to attract, retain and grow businesses in the community.
DISCUSSION:
ESEDC works to identify, support and drive key initiatives forward that are of critical

proposed ad hoc subcommittee would meet with the ESEDC to receive updates on
priority initiatives.
