BACKGROUND:
California Government Code Section 37208 provides General Law cities flexibility in
how budgeted warrants, demands, and payroll are audited and ratified by their

Officer and City Manager as conforming to the authorized expenditures set forth in the
City Council adopted budget need not be audited by the City Council prior to payment,
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

Item Number: B.5
TITLE:

The City of El Segundo has been allocated $24,383.13 in 2020 State Homeland
Security Grant Program (SHSGP) equipment funding, which the grant administrator,
Los Angeles County (the "County"), distributes to the local area via a subrecipient

appropriated funds will be reimbursed.
Staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $24,383.13 for the following account
numbers:

this funding, which is passed to the local area through Los Angeles County via a
subrecipient agreement has allocated funding to cover expenses associated with the

GIRT411 City Council Agenda Statement
ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 2, 2023
Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.6
TITLE:
Extension of Time for Completion of Topgolf Sublease Assignment and Leaseback
Transaction with Corresponding Second Amendment to Master Lease Agreement and
First Amendment to Memorandum of Lease
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the proposed two -month extension for the assignment of Topgolf USA
El Segundo, LLC's sublease to 42 Real Estate, LLC and corresponding
leaseback of the interest from 42 Real Estate, LLC to Topgolf USA El Segundo,
LLC subject to, and contingent upon the execution of, the attached
Acknowledgment of Lease Terms and Guarantor Acknowledgment of Guaranty.
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute (i) the Second Amendment to the Due Diligence
and Recreation Ground Lease Agreement between the City of El Segundo and
Centercal LLC, (ii) the corresponding First Amendment to Memorandum of
Lease, and (iii) the Estoppel Certificate and Consent, all conditioned on the
assignment of the sublease occurring on or before June 30, 2023. The
documents must be in a form substantially similar to the drafts attached to the
Council Agenda Report and approved by the City Attorney.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
At its regular meeting on March 21, 2023, the City Council approved a request by
Topgolf USA El Segundo, LLC for the City's consent to a proposed assignment of
Topgolf USA's subleasehold interest in the Topgolf facility and related real estate,
together with a corresponding leaseback to Topgolf USA of the interest. The request
was made by Topgolf USA as part of a financing transaction. The assignment -related
Page 39 of 242
Topgolf
May 2, 2023
Page 2 of 3
documents approved by the Council required the transaction to be completed on or
before May 1, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Topgolf is now requesting a two -month extension of this outside date to and including
June 30, 2023. No other changes to the terms of the previously -approved transaction
are being requested.
A summary of the proposed transaction, as set forth in the Agenda Report from the
March 21, 2023 meeting, is below for reference:
On February 6, 2021, the City of El Segundo and ES Centercal, LLC ("Centercal")
entered into the Due Diligence and Recreation Ground Lease Agreement pursuant to
which the City leased the Lakes Golf Course and adjacent property to Centercal (the
"Lease"). The Lease obligated Centercal to construct the Topgolf facility, complete
improvements to the golf course, and to operate both facilities. The Lease authorized
Centercal to sublease the premises to Topgolf USA El Segundo, LLC ("Topgolf USA")
for the purpose of taking over the operations. Topgolf USA's obligations under the
Lease are guaranteed by TG Holdings I, LLC.
Paragraph 18.1 of the Lease prohibits Topgolf USA from assigning its sublease interest
without the City's consent unless the assignment falls into one of four specific
categories that are referred to as "Permitted Topgolf Transfers." The proposed
assignment to 42 Real Estate, LLC does not qualify as a Permitted Topgolf Transfer.
Consequently, the City's consent to the assignment is required for it to be effective.
In May 2022, Topgolf approached the City to request that it consent to the proposed
assignment of Topgolf USA's sublease interest to 42 Real Estate, LLC, and
corresponding leaseback of the interest from 42 Real Estate, LLC to Topgolf USA.
Topgolf explained that the transaction was intended as a financing mechanism that
would allow Topgolf USA to free up capital for Topgolf to invest in its entire structure,
not just its El Segundo location. In response, the City Attorney's Office asked Topgolf
USA to respond to several questions regarding the nature, purpose, and effect of the
proposed transaction, particularly the effect, if any, of the transaction on the terms and
conditions of the Lease. Topgolf's responses are attached hereto.
In addition to the proposed assignment, Topgolf is requesting that the Lease be
amended to extend the initial term by approximately 26 months. The Lease provides for
an initial term of 20 years that commenced on February 18, 2021. The lessee then has
six successive option to extend the term, each for a separate period of five years each.
Topgolf's proposed financing mechanism requires it to assign its sublease with a 20-
year initial term. To accommodate this need, the proposed amendment would extend
the initial term of the Lease by approximately 26 months and would simultaneously
reduce the length of the first option period by the same amount of time, thereby having
Page 40 of 242
Topgolf
May 2, 2023
Page 3 of 3
no net effect on the maximum overall term of the Lease. The amendment to the Lease
will require an amendment to the Memorandum of Lease on file with the County
Recorder. A draft of both amendments is attached hereto.
The City Attorney requested that Topgolf prepare a document to be executed by
Topgolf USA, 42 Real Estate, LLC, and Centercal wherein all of said parties would
irrevocably represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the proposed assignment
and leaseback would not in any way alter the terms or conditions of the Lease. In
addition, TG Holdings I, LLC, the guarantor of the Lease obligations, was asked to
prepare a document acknowledging that the proposed assignment and leaseback,
together with the amendment to the Lease, would not affect or in any way diminish its
guaranty obligations. Both of the documents have been prepared to the satisfaction of
the City Attorney and are attached hereto.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the
proposed action is exempt from review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

TO: City of El Segundo (Attn: Gregg Kovacevich and Mark Hensley)
DATE: October 24, 2022
FROM: Topgolf USA El Segundo, LC
SUBJECT: Agreement of Sale and Purchase (El Segundo, CA) — 42 Real Estate financing transaction
Gregg and Mark,
This memorandum addresses the questions provided to us on behalf of the City of El Segundo (the "City") related
to that certain Agreement of Sale and Purchase ("PSA") by and between TOPGOLF USA EL SEGUNDO, LLC
as seller ("Topgolf') and 42 Real Estate, LLC as buyer (the "42RE"), for Topgolf s subleasehold interest in the
Topgolf facility and related real estate located at 400 Pacific Coast Highway in El Segundo, California
("Property"). Please see below for an outline of each question along with our responses to each:
1. A brief narrative description of the current state of affairs, including:
a. the basic structure of the lease agreement and the relative roles of CenterCal (lessee), TG
Holdings I, LLC (guarantor), and TopGolf USA El Segundo LLC (sublessee):
The Property is currently leased by the City as landlord to ES CENTERCAL, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("CenterCal') as tenant pursuant to that certain Due Diligence and
Recreation Ground Lease Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2021 (the "Master Lease").
The Property is currently subleased by Topgolf from CenterCal pursuant to that certain Ground
Sublease Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2021 (the "Sublease"). Pursuant to the Sublease
Topgolf has responsibility for the construction and operation of the Topgolf facility (which has
been completed). In the Sublease, CenterCal agreed to assist with obtaining permits and approvals
for the construction of the Topgolf Facility and to fund the cost of certain improvements (including
installation of lights on the golf course). The Sublease is generally a triple net lease pursuant to
which CenterCal has no role in the management or operation of the Property.
Topgolf is the manager and operator of the 9-hole golf course adjacent to the Property (the "Golf
Course Facility") pursuant to that certain Management Agreement, by and between the City and
Topgolf, dated as of February 6, 2022 (the "Management Agreement").
An affiliate of Topgolf, TG Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Guarantor"),
is the guarantor of Topgolf's obligations under the Sublease and the Management Agreement
pursuant to that certain Guarantee Agreement dated as of February 6, 2021 (the "Master Lease
Guaranty") and that certain Ground Sublease Guaranty dated as of February 8, 2021 (the
"Sublease Guaranty").
b. an explanation of which entity paid for the physical improvements on the site:
Topgolf is responsible for funding the majority of the expenses associated with the physical
improvements to the Property. Per the Sublease, CenterCal is required to fund a limited portion of
the expenses for the physical improvements to the golf course, which CenterCal has already funded
in full.
US ACTIVE\122479693\V-3
Page 53 of 242
c. an explanation of how payments currently flow among the parties per the Lease and
Sublease (i.e., CenterCal pays city fixed rent and variable rent, TopGolf USA El Segundo
LLC pays rent to CenterCal, etc.): Is TG paying directly to the City or are they paying to
Centercal?
Topgolf pays all amounts owing under the Sublease to CenterCal and CenterCal pays all amounts
owed under the Master Lease directly to the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the
provisions of the Master Lease the City is entitled to an annual payment equal to $200,000
("Payments for Public Good"). The Sublease permits Topgolf to make these payments directly
to the City, which it intends to do.
2. A narrative explaining, in detail and in terms easily understood by a lay person:
a. why TopGolf USA El Segundo LLC wishes to assign its sublease (financing purpose/free up
capital):
Topgolf has expended significant funds in the construction of the Topgolf facility. Topgolf, as any
other capital intensive business, seeks to manage liquidity and growth through financing in various
forms. Topgolf is entering into the PSA with a new financing partner, 42RE, to provide Topgolf
with a source of financing for its business and operations. The transaction is intended to free up
capital that Topgolf can use to invest in its entire structure, not just the El Segundo location.
b. the proposed structure of the transaction and related details:
The PSA provides for the sale of Topgolfs subleasehold interest in the Property (the
"Subleasehold Interest") to 42RE (the "Transaction"). At the closing of the Transaction the
Subleasehold Interest will be assigned from Topgolf to 42RE who will then lease the Subleasehold
Interest back to Topgolf pursuant to an Operating Sublease (the "Operating Sublease"). Topgolfs
obligations under the Operating Sublease will be guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to a guaranty
in the same form as the Master Lease Guaranty.
c. how the relative roles of the parties will change, along with an explanation of how the
payment flow among the parties will change:
The relative roles of Topgolf and Guarantor will remain in place and will not be impacted by the
Transaction. Specifically, the Guarantor's existing guaranty obligations under the Master Lease
Guaranty and the Sublease Guaranty and Topgolfs obligations to operate and manage the Topgolf
facility and the golf course facility under the Management Agreement will not be impacted by the
Transaction.
With regards to how funds will flow among the parties, the payments made to the City under the
Master Lease will remain unchanged and the City will not experience any changes to the flow of
funds from its perspective as a result of the Transaction. Specifically, the Operating Sublease
requires Topgolf to pay all amounts payable to CenterCal under the Sublease (e.g. variable rent,
Payments for Public Good) directly to CenterCal; provided, however, Topgolf can make the
Payments for Public Good directly to the City if such payment satisfies the obligation of CenterCal
to make such payments under the Master Lease.
d. whether any changes to recorded security instruments are required (e.g., leasehold
mortgages).
US ACTIVE\122479693\V-3
Page 54 of 242
Topgolf will file a Memorandum of Sub -Sublease in connection with the Operating Sublease.
Topgolf will seek to lengthen the initial terms of each of the Master Lease and Sublease such that
the initial terms of the Master Lease and Sublease would terminate at the same time as the initial
term of the Operating Sublease. This would provide a benefit to the City since the amended
initial term will result in a longer term for the Master Lease. The recorded security instruments
related to the Master Lease and Sublease would be amended to account for the lengthened initial
terms.
3. Details on the identity of the new sublessor, including:
a. the name of the entity and any parent/subsidiary/member/principal shareholder entities
that control the sublessor or are authorized to bind the new sublessor:
The sublessee under the Operating Lease is Topgolf. The sublessor under the Operating Lease is
JLJ TP TGES, LLC ("Topgolf Sublessor"). Topgolf Sublessor is managed by its General
Manager, JLJ TGES Investor, LLC and is owned 10% by its General Manager and 90% by GTRF
VI Topgolf Investor, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greystar-Thackeray Realty Fund VI
REIT, LLC, of which the sole common shareholder is Greystar-Thackeray Realty Fund VI, L.P.
("Fund VI"). Fund VI is a real estate private equity fund sponsored by Greystar Real Estate
Partners.
b. the name of the officers/principals of the new sublessor entity, and
Please see above in subpart (a) for an overview of the management of Topgolf Sublessor.
c. the financial position of the new sublessor.
Market and financial information on the respective entities can be found as follows:

4. An explanation of why the transaction will not affect any party's obligation(s) to the City or
operation of the Topgolf venue as required under the Lease.
All the current commitments and obligations that the City benefits from under the Master Lease will remain
unchanged and there will be no additional risks to the City as a result of the Transaction. Specifically, the
Transaction will not affect Topgolfs obligations to CenterCal and the City under the Master Lease and the
Sublease or Topgolf s obligations to operate and manage the Topgolf facility and the golf course facility, and will
not change Guarantor's guaranty obligations under the Master Lease Guaranty or the Sublease Guaranty.
Additionally, CenterCal's obligations to the City under the Master Lease will remain unchanged. The only aspect
of the underlying Master Lease and Sublease that we will seek to change is an amendment of the initial term of
each of the Master Lease and Sublease to lengthen the initial terms to align with the end of the initial term of the
Operating Sublease, as further described in subpart 2 of the memo above.

GIRT411 City Council Agenda Statement
ELSEGUNDO Meeting Date: May 2, 2023
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.8
TITLE:
Temporary Appointment of CaIPERS Retiree David Cain Pursuant to Government Code
Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the appointment of CaIPERS retired annuitant
David Cain to the position of Chief Financial Officer, in compliance with
Government Code §§ 7522.56 and 21221(h).
2. Approve an associated attached employment agreement with David Cain for the
interim appointment to the position of Chief Financial Officer.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other actions related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") position is currently funded in the FY 2022-2023
budget and is proposed to be fully funded in the FY 2023-2024 Budget. There is no
additional ongoing fiscal impact associated with the temporary appointment of a retired
annuitant to the Interim CFO position. There will be a slight savings in budgeted
benefits. In accordance with California Public Employees' Retirement System
(CaIPERS) requirements, Mr. Cain will not be eligible for any compensation or benefits
in addition to the hourly pay rate while working for the City as a retired annuitant.
BACKGROUND:
On May 11, 2023, CFO Joseph Lillio will be leaving the City of El Segundo and vacating
his position. David Cain was identified as the best match for the interim CFO position
pending an executive recruitment for a permanent CFO.
DISCUSSION:
CaIPERS recognizes that retirees can play an important role in maintaining city
Page 63 of 242

May 2, 2023
Page 2 of 3
operations, particularly in short-term or emergency situations; however, they also
specify limitations on a retiree's service when returning to work for a CaIPERS agency.
Government Code §§ 7522.56 & 21221(h) provide specific guidance on employing a
CaIPERS retiree without interruption to retirement benefits or reinstatement from
retirement. Key terms of hiring a retired annuitant under the Government Code are:
• The retiree must wait 180 days after their retirement date before they can
return to work for a CalPERS employer, unless there is a qualifying
exception. Mr. Cain met the 180-day waiting period in November of 2017.
There must be an open recruitment to permanently fill the vacant position
in process. The appointment of a retired annuitant to a vacant position
must be for a limited duration, and their work history must show previous
experience and the skill set needed to perform the work required. The City
is actively recruiting for the CFO position. Mr. Cain's public sector work
experience includes serving as a Director of Finance and Administrative Services
(Finance/IT). He possesses special skills and knowledge directly related to the
City's Chief Financial Officer position. For these reasons, staff recommends that
Mr. Cain be temporarily appointed until the recruitment is completed or
November 15, 2023, whichever occurs earlier. Both the City and Mr. Cain are
aware that a retired annuitant can only be appointed once to this vacant position
as required by Gov. Code section 21221(h).
• The retired annuitant's salary cannot be less than the minimum or exceed
the maximum for the vacant position as listed on the employer's publicly
available pay schedule for the position. Mr. Cain will be temporarily appointed
as the Chief Financial Officer. His hourly pay rate upon temporary hire will be
$103.37.
• The retired annuitant cannot be paid any other compensation or benefits in
addition to the hourly pay rate. Sections 5 and 6 of Mr. Cain's employment
agreement (Attachment 1) specify that he is ineligible to receive any
compensation or benefits other than his hourly pay rate during the temporary
appointment.
A maximum of 960 hours can be worked within a fiscal year (July 1 to June
30) and CalPERS does not provide any exception to this limit. Nonpaid or
volunteer hours can't be used in order to exceed 960 hours in a fiscal year.
Mr. Cain is expected to work for a period of no more than 6 months while the City
completes the recruitment for a permanent appointment to the Chief Financial
Officer position. The City will be required to enroll Mr. Cain as a retired annuitant
in the myCaIPERS system and report hours worked.
Page 64 of 242
Temporary Appointment of a CalPERS Retiree
May 2, 2023
Page 3 of 3
The retiree will not accrue service credit or any additional retirement rights
or benefits. While the City is required to report hours worked by Mr. Cain, those
hours will not be counted as additional retirement service credit and reported only
for the purposes of tracking the fiscal year hours limit.
The employment agreement identifies the detailed terms of Mr. Cain's temporary
appointment. Staff recommends that City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the
temporary appointment effective May 16, 2023.
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.

SERVICES
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT FOR INTERIM CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFER
SERVICES ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of this 2nd day of May, 2023 by
and between the City of El Segundo ("City") and David Cain ("Employee").
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to Government Code sections 7522.56(c) and 21221(h), City
desires to employ Employee, a California Public Employees' Retirement
System (CaIPERS) retiree, on an interim basis in the position of Interim
Chief Financial Officer for the City of El Segundo while the City actively
recruits a permanent Chief Financial Officer.
B. Pursuant to Government Code sections 7522.56(c) and 21221(h), the City
Council finds that the position of Interim Chief Financial Officer requires
specialized skills and experience to plan, direct, manage, and oversee the
functions, programs, and operations of the Finance Department and that
Employee possesses the skills needed to perform the functions and duties
of Interim Chief Financial Officer.
C. Employee desires to accept appointment to the position of Interim Chief
Financial Officer under the terms and conditions set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows-
1 . Duties. City hereby employs Employee as Interim Chief Financial Officer
for the City of El Segundo to perform the functions and duties of the Chief Financial
Officer, as specified by the City's Municipal Code and the Government Code, and to
perform such other legally permissible and proper duties and functions as the City Council
may from time to time assign or as may be necessary and desirable in the opinion of
Employee for the efficient management of the Finance Department. As part of his duties,
Employee shall assist with the recruitment of a permanent Chief Financial Officer.
2. Work Schedule. During his employment, Employee shall devote such time,
interest and effort to the performance of this Agreement as is necessary to carry out his
duties as Chief Financial Officer. Employee shall be available during normal City
business hours and shall be available for attendance at City Council and other meetings
during non -business hours as may be necessary. Employee acknowledges that his
duties will often require performance of services outside of normal business hours. In no
Page 1 of 6
Page 66 of 242
event shall Employee be compensated for more than 960 hours during the term of this
Agreement, including any extension hereof.
3. Work Restrictions/CaIPERS. At the time this Agreement is entered into,
Government Code Section 21224 allows a CaIPERS retiree to perform contractual
employee services under certain circumstances for up to a total of 960 hours in any fiscal
year for all CaIPERS contracting employers without being reinstated from retirement, and
without loss or interruption of CaIPERS retirement benefits. It is the Employee's
responsibility to ensure that services performed under this Agreement are in compliance
with the Employee's CaIPERS obligations. If a controversy arises between Employee
and CaIPERS regarding the impact of this Agreement and the services provided for herein
upon the nature of CaIPERS retirement benefits, the City shall have no obligation to
intervene in or defend or prosecute such dispute. Accordingly, it is recommended by the
City that, prior to entering into this Agreement, Employee first bring it to the attention of
CaIPERS and that Employee thereby personally determine what, if any, impact this
Agreement and the performance of the services set forth herein will or may have upon
the employee's CaIPERS retirement benefits. Additionally, it is recommended that
Employee consult with his own legal counsel regarding the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Employee hereby releases and holds harmless the City and its officials,
officers, employees and agents from and against any and all actions (including imposition
of costs, fines and penalties) that CaIPERS may impose against Employee arising from
or relating to this Agreement. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
4. Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided for in this Agreement,
Employee shall be employed for a term beginning May 16, 2023, and ending on
November 15, 2023, or when a permanent Chief Financial Officer assumes office,
whichever is sooner.
5. Compensation. For services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, City
agrees to pay Employee compensation of $103.37 per hour, which amount is in
conformance with the requirements of Government Code section 7522.56(d). This hourly
rate does not exceed the maximum monthly base salary paid to other employees
performing comparable duties as listed on a publicly available pay schedule for the Chief
Financial Officer position, divided by 173.333. Employee shall not receive any benefits,
incentives, compensation in lieu of benefits, or any other forms of compensation in
addition to the hourly rate set forth herein. Employee will be compensated in bi-weekly
payments (at the same time that City employees are regularly paid) and Employee's
hourly wages paid pursuant to this Agreement are subject to all applicable withholdings
and deductions in accordance with applicable law. Employee shall record all of his hours
on a daily basis and transmit such records to the Finance Department on a weekly basis.
Employee's attendance at conferences and seminars that are normal and customary for
Chief Financial Officers shall be deemed working hours for purposes of this Agreement.
6. Benefits. Employee hereby waives all benefits provided to City employees,
including retirement contribution, health/medical insurance, dental insurance, life and
Page 2 of 6
Page 67 of 242
disability insurance, sick leave, vacation, unemployment insurance and similar benefits.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall be entitled to observe all City holidays in
the same manner as employees of the City. Employee recognizes that Government Code
section 21221(h) provides that a retired person appointed to a vacant position pursuant
to that subdivision may not receive any benefits, incentives, compensation in lieu of
benefits, or any other forms of compensation in addition to the hourly rate.
7. Termination. The City may terminate this Agreement at any time with or
without cause. Employee may terminate this Agreement at anytime with or without cause
provided, however, he shall provide the City Council with at least two weeks' advance
written notice prior to the effective date of termination, if practicable, unless a shorter
period is acceptable to the City Council. Employee agrees that he shall not be entitled to
any severance pay as the result of the termination of this Agreement for any reason
whatsoever.
8. At -will Employment/FLSA Exempt. Employee shall serve at the will and
pleasure of the City Council and understands he is an "at -will" employee subject to
summary dismissal without any right of notice or hearing, including any so-called "Skelly"
hearing. Employee will not acquire any property interest in the position of Interim Chief
Financial Officer and is employed solely on a temporary basis to perform specialized
services in accordance with Government Code sections 7522.56(c) and 21221(h).
Employee further understands and agrees that his position is that of an exempt employee
for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
9. Certification Regarding Prior Unemployment Benefits. In accordance with
Government Code section 7522.56(e)(1), Employee certifies and warrants to City that he
has not received any unemployment insurance payments for retired annuitant work for
any public employer within the twelve months prior to his appointment date under this
Agreement.
10. Reimbursable Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, City shall
reimburse for reasonable business expenses, including travel (but not to and from the
worksite), parking and professional dues associated with maintaining membership in
professional organizations pursuant to the applicable provisions of the El Segundo
Municipal Code and City administrative policies. Reimbursement requests must be
supported by written documentation in accordance with established policies and
customary practices of the City.
11. Conflicts Prohibited. During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall not
engage in any business or transaction or maintain any financial interest which conflicts,
or reasonably might be expected to conflict, with the proper discharge of Employee's
duties under this Agreement. Employee shall comply with all requirements of law,
including but not limited to the Political Reform Act (Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.),
Government Code sections 1090 and 1126, and all other similar statutory or
administrative rules. Employee represents and warrants that he has no financial,
Page 3of6
Page 68 of 242
contractual or other interest or obligation that conflicts with or is harmful to the
performance of his obligations under this Agreement.
12. Indemnification. For the purposes of indemnification and defense of legal
actions, Employee shall be considered an employee of the City and shall be entitled to
the same rights, and subject to the same obligations and limitations, as other employees
of the City as set forth in the Government Code. Accordingly, City shall defend, hold
harmless, and indemnify Employee against any tort, professional liability, claim or
demand, or other legal action arising out of an act or omission occurring within the course
and scope of Employee's services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this indemnification obligation shall not apply to any intentional tort or crime committed by

qualified financial professional to carry out the CFO's day-to-day duties,
which require specialized skills and experience.
D. State law (Gov. Code, § 21221(h)), provides that, under specified
circumstances, a retired annuitant in the California Public Employees'

public employer in the CaIPERS system without affecting his or her
retirement benefits.
E. State law permits the governing body of such public employer to appoint a
CaIPERS retiree to a vacant position requiring specialized skills during
recruitment for a permanent appointment and provides that such
appointment will not subject the retired person to reinstatement from
retirement or loss of benefits so long as it is a single appointment that does
not exceed 960 hours in a fiscal year.
F. Pursuant to the City's review of candidates, the City Council finds that David
Cain, a CaIPERS retiree, has decades of public finance experience with
varied public entities and is qualified to temporarily serve as the City's CFO
until the position is permanently filled, subject to the limitations stated above.
G. The City desires to appoint David Cain as an interim appointment retired
annuitant for services as interim CFO, effective May 16, 2023, pursuant to a
temporary employment agreement..

benefit or other form of compensation in addition to his hourly pay rate.
SECTION 2. Approval. The City Council approves the temporary employment
agreement for David Cain, in the form attached to the staff report to which this Resolution
attached and presented to the City Council. The Mayor or City Manager are authorized
to execute such agreement.
SECTION 3. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity
will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this
end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

authorized to affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City
Council of the City of El Segundo, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is

("MOU") between the City of El Segundo and the El Segundo Police Officers'

2. Adopt a Resolution amending the City contributions for California Public
Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS") medical premiums pursuant to the
MOU between the City of El Segundo and the POA.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the successor POA Memorandum of Understanding is $3,741,011 for
the term April 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025. This cost assumes that all forty-nine (49)
employees elect the voluntary binding arbitration agreement in exchange for a $30,000
bonus payment.
The FY 2022-23 fiscal impact is $1,126,020.
Additional Appropriation: Staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $1,000,000
for implementing the terms of the POA MOU from April 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023.

BACKGROUND:
Page 75 of 242
POA Memorandum of Understanding
May 2, 2023
Page 2 of 4
Staff and representatives of the POA met and conferred pursuant to Section 3500 et
seq. of the California Government Code (MMBA), for purposes of reaching a labor
agreement. A tentative agreement was reached on April 4, 2023, and the POA ratified
the agreement on April 5, 2023.
The City and the POA began negotiations on September 23, 2021 for a successor MOU
to the agreement that expired on September 30, 2021. This first round of negotiations
ended in impasse declared by the POA on February 9, 2022 and the second round of
negotiations began on March 25, 2022. A factfinding hearing for the first round of
negotiations was held on June 20, 2022. On July 17, 2022, the factfinder provided
recommendations that the City did not impose on the POA.
During the second round of negotiations, the City provided eight (8) formal offers and
one (1) supposal to the POA; the POA provided six (6) formal offers and two (2)
supposals. In both rounds of negotiations, the City's desire for binding arbitration was a
challenging provision for the POA. The City provided proposals that included options
with and without the binding arbitration provision and differing financial terms.
Ultimately, the City and the POA were able to reach an agreement that included a
voluntary binding arbitration provision in exchange for a $30,000 bonus payment.
DISCUSSION:
The successor MOU provides for a voluntary binding arbitration agreement, cost -of -
living adjustments, increases to City contribution for health, dental, and life insurance
coverage. Other provisions include the elimination of the Tier II education incentive,
adjustment of the longevity pay table from 26 to 25 years, and a residency requirement.
The redlined MOU is attached which shows the revisions and clean-up language. The
POA bargaining unit represents the Police Officer and Police Sergeant job
classifications with forty-nine (49) incumbents. The following are highlights of the salary
and benefit changes to the MOU:
1. Term: 2 years and 3 months, April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025.
2. Voluntary Binding Arbitration Agreement: $30,000 total bonus payment
o $15,000 upon execution of agreement
o $5,000 increments every six months thereafter.
3. Salary Adjustments-
* 7% effective following approval and adoption of MOU
0 3% effective January 1, 2024
0 3% effective January 1, 2025.
4. Health Insurance Increases:
o Effective upon approval and adoption of MOU: from $1,650 to $1,700
Page 76 of 242
POA Memorandum of Understanding
May 2, 2023
Page 3 of 4
o Effective January 1, 2024: from $1,700 to $1,750
o Effective January 1, 2025: from $1,750 to $1,800.
5. Increase in basic life insurance from $10,000 to $50,000.
6. Elimination of the Tier II education incentive, which means that all employees
would be eligible for a premium for possession of a Master's degree instead of
only those hired prior to February 21, 2017.
7. Adjustment of the longevity pay table to provide for payment at this tier one year
earlier. Employees are eligible for a higher level of longevity pay at 25 years now
instead of 26 years.
8. Residency Requirement for new employees hired after approval and adoption of
MOU. May reside up to one hundred (100) road miles from Police Headquarters
for a ninety (90) minute response time.
Additionally, the parties agreed to various clean up items and the following:
Revision of the leave cash out process to comply with the IRS doctrine of
constructive receipt; and
Provision to permit employees and eligible dependents to remain on City dental
and vision plans if enrolled upon retirement. Premiums are to be paid by the
retiree.
CalPERS requires contracting agencies participating in the Medical Plan under the
Public Employee's Medical and Hospital Care Act ("PEMHCA") to submit a change
resolution approved by the City Council to amend the employer contribution for medical
premiums. Attached for adoption is the required resolution to increase the 2023 City
paid medical premiums as noted above.
Upon approval and adoption of the MOU and related resolutions, Human Resources will
work with Finance to implement all provisions, as negotiated.

SECTION 2.02 Regular Rate of Pay
This MOU periodically refers to the "regular rate of pay." The "regular rate of pay" is defined in
29 CFR § 778.108 et. seq. The "definition" used in this MOU is for general reference and does
not override the specific definitions set forth in the FLSA. Therefore, as used in this MOU, the
regular rate of pay is the remuneration paid to or on behalf of the employee except gifts, travel
expenses, other reimbursable expenses, payments not mandated by the MOU or other
rules/regulations, retirement and insurance contributions by the City, overtime and holiday pay.
These are examples only and not intended to be an all-inclusive definition of the "regular rate of
pay." Applicable statutes/case law shall prevail over any MOU definitions inconsistent with
statues/case law.

10438679.1 EL140-150
Page 91 of 242
The regular rate of pay shall be calculated in dollars and cents rounded off to two (2) decimal
places to the right of the decimal point.
The parties acknowledge that there is a pending dispute between the parties as any City obligation
to include the value of the employer paid member contribution to PERS when calculating the
regular rate of pay. Without waiving any right, claim or defenses by the parties, it is understood
that commencing March 4, 2017, the City shall not pay the employee's nine percent (9%) PERS
member contribution and consequently the employer paid member contribution of nine percent
(9%) does not apply to this bargaining unit and is not to be calculated as part of the regular rate
of pay nor shall it be applied to any leave payouts.
FLSA Work Period - The FLSA Work Period shall be defined as eighty (80) hours in a fourteen
(14) day period.
All paid leave shall be considered "hours worked" for purposes of eligibility for overtime.
SECTION 2.03 Step Advancement
Employees hired at Step A shall progress to Step B after six (6) months. Progressions to Steps
C, D, and E shall be at twelve month intervals, with satisfactory (or above) performance.
Progression from Step E to Step F shall occur automatically after the employee has been at Step
E for twelve months.
The Police Chief may recommend to the Human Resources Director for approval by the City
Manager that an employee receive an accelerated advancement of part or all of the next salary
step increase in the Basic Salary Range (A - F Steps) based on exemplary job performance. The
accelerated salary advancement shall not change the affected employee's anniversary date.
SECTION 2.04 Notice Requirement to Withhold Step Increase
The City shall have the option during or after the term of this agreement to provide employees
written notice of the intent to withhold a salary step increase and the reasons for same no later
than the end of the pay period which begins after the employee's anniversary date.

ARTICLE 8 PHYSICAL FITNESS INCENTIVE PROGRAM
SECTION 8.01 Purpose
It is the purpose of the El Segundo Police Department Physical Fitness Program to improve the
level of physical fitness and health among sworn police personnel so that their field performance
will be enhanced and also to improve their overall degree of wellness as an enrichment to their
personal lives as well as a productivity benefit to the City.
SECTION 8.02 Department Policy
It will be the policy of the Police Department to work with officers individually and assist those that
need to improve their lifestyle habits in order that fitness levels can be improved. There is no
"failure" in participation, only the identification of needs and the recognition of strengths.
SECTION 8.03 Program Components
The Physical Fitness Program will consist of two basic components; they are a fitness
examination and a fitness assessment.
A. Fitness Examination
The examination will be comprehensive and will include the cardio-vascular system, the
pulmonary function, a complete blood work -up, body composition analysis, and the lower
digestive tract as well as a strength assessment. It will also include a complete medical history
review with a physician and a subsequent review of the findings as well as an exercise/nutritional
prescription.

Page 99 of 242
B. Fitness Assessment:
1. The fitness assessment is the voluntary component of the program and will be
administered by a department fitness coordinator and fitness committee.
2. The assessment will be a test to measure components of physical fitness which are:
a. Cardio-vascular
b. Strength
c. Body composition
d. Flexibility
The assessment will be administered quarterly and will apply standards developed and
used by the Cooper Aerobics Institute, Dallas, Texas, and will include sliding scales based
on age and sex.
3. From the assessment will be developed a profile which will categorize participants into
levels of fitness. Incentive provisions would then reward participants depending upon their
fitness level.
4. Rewards would also be available for significant achievements and improvements. These
rewards will be in the form of T-shirts, sports bags, sporting equipment and other similar
incentives. It is thought that these types of rewards could be influential in maintaining
interest and enthusiasm in those participants who would not otherwise qualify for fitness
achievement categories.

definitions set forth in the FLSA. Therefore, as used in this MOU, the regular rate of pay is the remuneration
paid to or on behalf of the employee except gifts, travel expenses, other reimbursable expenses, payments
not mandated by the MOU or other rules/regulations, retirement and insurance contributions by the City,
overtime and holiday pay. These are examples only and not intended to be an all-inclusive definition of the

right of the decimal point.

April 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025
The parties acknowledge that there is a pending dispute between the parties as any City obligation to include
the value of the employer paid member contribution to PERS when calculating the regular rate of pay. Without
waiving any right, claim or defenses by the parties, it is understood that commencing March 4, 2017, the City
shall not pay the employee's nine percent (9%) PERS member contribution and consequently the employer
paid member contribution of nine percent (9%) does not apply to this bargaining unit and is not to be calculated
as part of the regular rate of pay nor shall it be applied to any leave payouts.
FLSA Work Period — The FLSA Work Period shall be defined as eighty (80) hours in a fourteen (14) day
period.
All paid leave shall be considered "hours worked" for purposes of eligibility for overtime.

not change the affected employee's anniversary date.
SECTION 2.04 Notice Requirement to Withhold Step Increase
The City shall have the option during or after the term of this agreement to provide employees written notice
of the intent to withhold a salary step increase and the reasons for same no later than the end of the pay

ARTICLE 8 PHYSICAL FITNESS INCENTIVE PROGRAM
SECTION 8.01 Purpose
It is the purpose of the El Segundo Police Department Physical Fitness Program to improve the level of
physical fitness and health among sworn police personnel so that their field performance will be enhanced
and also to improve their overall degree of wellness as an enrichment to their personal lives as well as a
productivity benefit to the City.
SECTION 8.02 Department Policy
It will be the policy of the Police Department to work with officers individually and assist those that need to
improve their lifestyle habits in order that fitness levels can be improved. There is no "failure" in participation,
only the identification of needs and the recognition of strengths.
SECTION 8.03 Program Components
The Physical Fitness Program will consist of two basic components; they are a fitness examination and a
fitness assessment.
A. Fitness Examination:
The examination will be comprehensive and will include the cardio-vascular system, the pulmonary function,
a complete blood work -up, body composition analysis, and the lower digestive tract as well as a strength
assessment. It will also include a complete medical history review with a physician and a subsequent review
of the findings as well as an exercise/nutritional prescription.
B. Fitness Assessment:
1. The fitness assessment is the voluntary component of the program and will be administered by a
department fitness coordinator and fitness committee.
2. The assessment will be a test to measure components of physical fitness which are:
11
Page 148 of 242
POA MOU
April 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025
a. Cardio-vascular
b. Strength
c. Body composition
d. Flexibility
The assessment will be administered quarterly and will apply standards developed and used by the
Cooper Aerobics Institute, Dallas, Texas, and will include sliding scales based on age and sex.
3. From the assessment will be developed a profile which will categorize participants into levels of fitness.
Incentive provisions would then reward participants depending upon their fitness level.
4. Rewards would also be available for significant achievements and improvements. These rewards will
be in the form of T-shirts, sports bags, sporting equipment and other similar incentives. It is thought
that these types of rewards could be influential in maintaining interest and enthusiasm in those
participants who would not otherwise qualify for fitness achievement categories.

delivery of an executed Agreement to the City, and then the remaining
$15,000 shall be paid in $5,000 increments every six months thereafter.
Employee shall not be entitled to receive more than $30,000 in
payments pursuant to this Agreement, even if Employee's employment
is terminated and the Employee subsequently becomes re-employed by
the City.
b. If an employee's employment is terminated after receipt of the initial
$15,000 payment but before the employee receives $30,000 in
payments, this Agreement is still in full force and effect and employee

$30,000 in payments, the remaining payments shall be made based
upon the same payment intervals described above.
c. If an employee remains employed with City but promotes or otherwise
transfers to another bargaining unit and/or an unrepresented position
within the City after this Agreement has been executed and the first
payment has been made, City shall continue to make payments
consistent with Section 1.a. and 1.b. above, and Arbitrable Claims will

Claims arose while the employee was a member of the POA or while a
member of another bargaining unit and/or an unrepresented position

d. Once the Employee receives a payment under this Agreement, all
Arbitrable Claims shall be subject to the arbitration process outlined

an instrument in writing, signed by Employee and Employer. No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement shall operate as

EL SEGUNDO CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
A. History
On November 19, 2019, the El Segundo City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1594
amending Title 15 of the El Segundo Municipal Code establishing a Public Art or In -
Lieu Fee Requirement and a Cultural Development Fund. The requirement applies to
specific commercial and industrial developments with a project cost exceeding
$2,000,000.
The ordinance gives developers the option of commissioning public artwork on -site
equal to 1% of the project cost or paying the 1% to the City's Cultural Development
Fund in -lieu of commissioning artwork.
B. Vision and Values
Public art helps to improve the character and physical environment of El Segundo. It
promotes and enhances the general welfare by allowing community members to
experience and interact with artworks and art programming in an environment that
is open to all. Art and cultural services provided by the program create additional
public access to the arts, help drive tourism and revenue to local businesses,
contribute towards realizing cultural equity and inclusion, create opportunities for
artists and art organizations in the community, and help grow the creative economy.
The El Segundo Cultural Development Program indicates the City's commitment to
providing residential and business community members with public spaces,
structures, and experiences that enhance the character of the City through the
inclusion of art.
The Program's values are:
• Responsibility: Art that has long-term value and maintainability, is feasible
and justifiable, enhances community well-being and shows measurable
benefits to the city.
• Authenticity: Art that is true to artist, sponsor, and City, is respectful of
community history, embraces the vitality and character of the City, and is
integral with the City's future direction
• Intelligence: Art that evidences and inspires innovative thinking, merges art,
technology, and ecology, and is intellectually stimulating.
• Synergy: Art that draws strength from dualities, combines the familiar with
the challenging, melds personal expression with civic goals, and is
multifunctional and dynamic.
• Equity: Art that welcomes diverse viewpoints, is inclusive of all community
members, and delivers value for all stakeholders.
El Segundo Cultural Development Program Guidelines I Page 3
Page 190 of 242
C. Goals
The Cultural Development Program's goals are:
• Integrate arts and culture into City life — Weave art into the City fabric,
support school and adult art programs, and support artists in residence.
• Build a better city with art — Integrate creative concepts into capital
improvements, improve the "quality of place" throughout the City, and
bridge downtown, beach, and east of Pacific Coast Highway through art.
• Make El Segundo a prime tourist destination — Create landmark art
attractions, develop and nurture culture events, festivals, performances and
art fairs, and generate media exposure.
• Support local cultural institutions and artists — Support museums, theatres,
libraries, and performing arts groups, and foster new art by connecting
aspirations and community resources.
D. El Segundo Cultural Development Program Administration
The City Council designated the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee (ACC) to be
the formal body responsible for reviewing all Cultural Development Program
applications in coordination with City staff. The goal is to ensure that all applicants
meet program criteria, goals, and objectives.
1. The Building Official in the Department of Building and Safety is responsible
for determining Project Cost of the commercial or industrial development
and if a project is subject to the Cultural Development requirement.
2. Library Services staff is responsible for administrative processes for
reviewing developer art plans; updates to the Cultural Development
Program and related guidelines; implementing the Cultural Development
Program policies and practices; and reviewing and preparing reports for art
and programming funded by the El Segundo Cultural Development Program.
3. The ACC serves as the recommending body for review of public art and
programming funded by the Cultural Development Program.
4. The City of El Segundo's Finance Director administers the Cultural
Development Fund and the Finance Department collects payments for the
Cultural Development Program.
II. DEVELOPER OBLIGATION
The Cultural Development Ordinance requires specific commercial, industrial, and
mixed -use developments with a project cost exceeding $2,000,000 to provide
artwork on -site equal to 1% of the project cost or pay an equal amount to the City of
El Segundo's Cultural Development Fund in lieu of commissioning artwork. This
requirement does not apply to residential components of a mixed -use development
project.
El Segundo Cultural Development Program Guidelines I Page 4
Page 191 of 242
A. Project Applicability and Exceptions
1. Projects subject to the Cultural Development Program as stated in Section
15-34-2 of the El Segundo Municipal Code.
a. This chapter shall apply to all commercial and industrial projects
where the project cost exceeds two million dollars ($2,000,000.00).

museum spaces, so long as the performing arts or museum spaces
are maintained within the building, provided the premises continue
to be dedicated as such. Acceptable facilities include museums,
theaters, performance arts centers, and other similar facilities.
B. Procedures for Providing Artwork on Private Property
The Cultural Development Program review process is a collaborative one,
intended to develop the best possible art for the project and the community
at large. The art must be an integral part of the development project and
the artist should be included as a member of the project design team.
Developers wishing to meet the requirements of the Cultural Development
Program by including art on the project site must develop a Public Art Plan
concurrently with the design and development phases of the building
project. On -site art must be original work, visible and accessible (as defined
by the ordinance), produced by a practicing artist, and compatible with the
building project site.
Artist and Artwork Selection. The developer is responsible for selecting the
artist(s) and artwork, provided both meet the program criteria set forth in
this policy.
Maintenance Requirements. The developer and/or property owner is
responsible for operating and maintaining artwork at all times in substantial
conformity with the condition the artwork was originally approved by the
City. This includes any landscaping and lighting associated with the artwork.
El Segundo Cultural Development Program Guidelines I Page 5
Page 192 of 242
Artwork shall be maintained as stated in the El Segundo Municipal Code
Section 15-34-6.

owner of the site and specify the long-term care of the
artwork
iv. The removal of any artwork from the site is prohibited for
any reason without the City's prior written authorization.
The indefinite removal of an artwork from permanent
display whether or not the artwork is disposed, affects the
artist's right, and can carry serious legal consequences for
the property owner. An owner wishing to remove, modify,
destroy or in any way alter artwork must first seek the
artist's legal consent and must provide a compelling reason
for taking such action with the artwork. Request for removal
shall be submitted to the City Council or its designee for
consideration and approval, and consent from the original
artist. (See Deaccession section below.)
b. Non -maintenance of Installation

maintained in good condition, or not provided as required by this
policy, the City of El Segundo may exercise any and all remedies
authorized by law, including revocation or suspension of any
discretionary permit, as described in ESMC Section 15-34-10.
3. Installation of Artwork
Artwork shall be installed prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy, or
otherwise agreed upon and approved by the Building Official and Library
Services Director. For phased developments, the artwork may be installed in
the final phase prior to issue of the Certificate of Occupancy.

The minimum art allocation for each project/development is equal to one
percent (1%) of the Project Cost as determined by the Building Official.
Value of the art shall be verified by a public art consultant, chosen from the
City's pre -selected public art consultant list.

administration thereof, not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the art
requirement.

Page 195 of 242
E. Deaccession Procedures
It is the goal of the Cultural Development Program to maintain a high quality
Public Art Collection within the City of El Segundo. Art works commissioned
through the Public Art Program are considered a permanent part of the Public
Art Collection, as long as the work maintains its physical integrity, identity and
authenticity, and as long as it remains useful to the purposes of the City's
Cultural Development Program. When any of these conditions no longer
prevail, the ACC may consider removal of the artwork from public display and/or
deaccessioning the art.
1. The ACC will review deaccession requests and select one of the following
options: (i) request owner replace the deaccessioned artwork with a new art
work of equal value or (ii) the owner will enter into a new covenant with the
City to release the owner from the existing maintenance requirements for
the deaccessioned artwork.
2. The ACC retains the right to: (i) approve or deny a deaccession request, (ii)
institute a formal process for removing accessioned objects permanently
from the Public Art Collection; and (iii) approve or deny the request to
release the property owner from the public art covenant for on -site art
work.
3. Owner is responsible to notify the artist of the intent to remove the artwork
in accordance with the Visual Artists Rights Act and the California Art
Preservation Act.
F. Challenged Decisions
An Appeal Process is stated in the El Segundo Municipal Code Section 15-34-8.
1. Any person may seek review of a decision by either the Building Official or
the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee. Appeals of the Building Official's
decision must be made pursuant to Section 113.3 of the California Building
Code, as amended by Section 13-1-2 of the El Segundo Municipal Code.
2. Appeals of a decision of the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee must be
made by filing a written appeal with the City Clerk's Office within 10
working days of the Committee's decision and pay an appeal fee. The City
Council shall hold at least one hearing on the Arts and Culture Advisory

III. CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT FUND
A. Cultural Development Fund
As an alternative to the art plan and installation requirements of the Cultural
Development Program, a developer may choose to contribute to the El Segundo
Cultural Development Program Fund in an amount equivalent to one percent
(1%) of the project cost. These funds are kept in the El Segundo Cultural
Development Fund, administered by the City of El Segundo's Director of
Finance.
B. Cultural Development Fund Public Art and Programming
The Cultural Development Fund shall be used to provide art in public places in
order to further the intent and purpose of the Cultural Development Program.
Expenditures of funds are limited to the following uses:
1. For the design, acquisition, commission, installation, improvement,
relocation, maintenance, conservation, restoration, utility charges, and
insurance of artwork;
2. To sponsor or support artistic or cultural services;
3. For the City's costs of administering the Cultural Development Fund and
associated programs.
The Fund shall also be used as a depository for monetary endowments,
bequests, grants, or donations made for public art purposes. Such sums may be
expended as set forth above.
The ACC will propose an annual budget to be considered and approved by the
City Council during the regular budget process. Recommended expenditure
categories will include funding for artistically enhanced capital projects,
permanent art, community experiences, grants, and project -based public art
consultants.
The City Council will approve the Cultural Development Program priorities and
annual budget as well as expenditures/contracts over $50,000, but not
individual art projects. This process may be adjusted in the future if needed.
C. Artist and Project Selection
The ACC, in coordination with City staff, shall determine procedures for
selecting artists, artwork, and public art programming supported with the El
Segundo Cultural Development Fund. Staff will assist in the selection of artists,
artworks, and proposals for consideration and approval.
The selection process for artwork and public art programming may include the
following depending on the scope of the project:
El Segundo Cultural Development Program Guidelines I Page 11
Page 198 of 242
1. Open competition;
2. Limited competition;
3. Invitation;
4. Direct purchase;
5. Donations; and
6. Any combination of the above
All decisions involving selection of an artist or group of artists for non -City
projects will involve a public process using one of these methods: Requests for
Qualifications (RFQ), Requests for Proposals (RFP), or Invitational Competition.
Proposals will be evaluated by a jury of ACC members, other community
members, and City staff using the criteria outlined in the Cultural Development
Ordinance, Administrative Guidelines, and project -specific Calls for Artists.
1. Requests for Qualifications (RFQ): This is the preferred method to be used
by the ACC to select the artist or group of artists. A short list of finalists will
be invited to interview and one artist and an alternate will be selected by
the jury. If the design process is sufficiently advanced that a context has
been established for the artists to respond to, each of the finalists may be
asked to develop a preliminary proposal, which will be evaluated during an
interview. If a preliminary proposal is requested, an honorarium will be paid
to the artists.
2. Requests for Proposals (RFP):
a. This method is appropriate for selection of artists where there is an
existing site or building or for projects with small budgets where
local artists are being targeted.
b. The City may issue an RFP requesting conceptual proposals and
detailing the proposal requirements. The respondents' proposals
will provide the jury members with an understanding of the artists'
thought process or approach. The ACC may choose to invite several
finalists to interview before making a final selection. Artists
responding to an RFP will not be compensated for proposals.
3. Invitational Competition:
a. This process may be appropriate in the case of complex projects
where a limited numbers of artists may be capable of successful
completion. It is also appropriate in a case where there are severe
schedule restrictions.
b. Based on the project requirements, submittal of qualifications or a
specific proposal may be requested. Invitational competitions may
also be conducted in two stages, with the first phase based on
qualifications and the second phase based on a proposal. Artists
El Segundo Cultural Development Program Guidelines I Page 12
Page 199 of 242
invited to develop proposals will be compensated in the same
manner as described in the RFQ process.
Final selection of artwork will be by a review panel and will take into account
the following:
• Frank discussions and thoughtful deliberations using the criteria and
guidelines approved in the Ordinance, Administrative Guidelines, and
Calls for Artists/Proposals
• Community representatives providing valuable information about what
artist's work and process are most suited to the community
• Decisions based on artistic distinction and best fit of artist and project
The ACC is committed to public outreach and engagement in the preliminary
phases of a public art project. Examples include:
• Visioning of the project prior to artist selection
• Interaction with the artist finalists prior to development of an artwork
proposal
• Initial introduction of a selected artist to the community
• Guided tours and visits to the project site
ACC members will not participate in agenda items or decisions in which they
have a financial interest. The City Attorney's Office will provide guidance when
questions arise.
D. Approval of Public Art and Programming funded by the Cultural Development
Fund
Public Art proposals to be funded by the Cultural Development Fund shall be
submitted to the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee and shall include:
1. Preliminary sketches, photographs, or other documentation with sufficient
descriptive clarity to indicate the nature of the proposed art plan.
2. A narrative description of the public art with design concepts, public space,
context, materials, finishes and project landscaping. The narrative shall
demonstrate that the artwork will be displayed in a public place as defined
in this policy.
3. An appraisal or other evidence of the value of the proposed art plan
including acquisition and installation costs.
4. Preliminary plans containing such detailed information as may be required
to adequately evaluate the location of the art proposed, its compatibility
with the site and proposed development project, and its relationship to the
goals and objectives of the Cultural Development Program and City Specific
Plans.
5. A resume and portfolio from the artist who will create the artwork.
El Segundo Cultural Development Program Guidelines I Page 13
Page 200 of 242
6. A written agreement executed by the artist who created the artwork, in
which he or she expressly waives all rights that may be waived under the
California Art Preservation Act, the Visual Artists Rights Act, or other
applicable state and federal laws.
7. The ACC shall consider each artist and proposed public art plan on a case -
by -case basis, and if necessary, with a recommendation from City staff.
Funding decisions for programming funded by the Cultural Development Fund
and not sponsored by the City will be handled in a way similar to public art
decisions. Support will be grant based and proposals will be evaluated by a jury
consisting of ACC and other community members as well as City staff.
Criteria for evaluating proposals may include artistic vision, qualifications and
experience, target audience, anticipated audience size, outreach plans, funding
requested, cost for people attending (should be free or low-cost for programs
on City property), and fit for El Segundo.
As used in the previous sentence, "Fit for El Segundo" means programming
should take into consideration the location and community and have some
relevancy to the City. It should highlight and/or relate to El Segundo's history
and neighborhoods, demographic groups, and major industries, have an arts
and culture component, and align with the City's values of equity and
inclusiveness.

FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be direct and indirect fiscal impacts to the City's General Fund, including staff
time and possibly funds for additional community engagement activities, if approved. If
there are greater financial needs, staff will return to City Council for separate budget
appropriation requests.
BACKGROUND:
At its June 16, 2020 meeting, City Council directed staff to establish a new Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee to address El Segundo residents' concerns about
local racial diversity issues, inclusion, police policy, experiences at local schools, and
other matters.
City Council asked the DEI Committee to focus on the following study topics:
1. Citywide Organization (including a review of City government policies, practices,
training, diversity, etc.) - Report presented to City Council on January 18, 2022.
2. Public Safety (including a review of Police Department policies, practices,
training, and diversity) - Report presented to City Council on February 1, 2022.

DEI rTi rTi t, rin l a -a Via-�l�.. r a� Backgrotind
The DEI Committee aims to inspire and activate efforts to integrate diversity, equity and inclusion into
City of El Segundo decisions, service -delivery and policies to improve the well-being of all our
communities. We commit to:
➢ Listening and advising with an equity lens as we help foster a healthy, just and inclusive El Segundo,
instilling a sense of understanding, healing and belonging for all who live, work and play here.
➢ Engaging the community and holding ourselves accountable to acknowledge and correct historical
inequities and current disparities, and change outdated, harmful narratives.
➢ Moving forward with urgency and purpose, allyship and collaboration, to support transparent and
actionable solutions that will remedy these inequities and serve our diverse community.
The Community -at -Large Subcommittee has met regularly (every other week) starting March 5, 2021
(shortly after subcommittees were assigned) and has focused on community experiences as they relate to
living, visiting and working in El Segundo. For the purposes of this report, community members are defined
as those who live, work and/or attend school in El Segundo.
AREAS OF FOCUS
1. Design and implement a community -wide survey to serve as a baseline and help prioritize DEI's efforts.
Research and gather historical and current data, statistics and narratives/anecdotes. This may include a
process to gather information from community partners who have and are currently collecting
information from the community as it relates to DEI.
3. Working with the group to analyze and distribute the data to inform all our efforts.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. Community is committed to collaborating with the DEI Committee and continues to interact and engage.
2. Education is needed for the greater community regarding the meaning and purpose of DEI as well as the
role of the DEI Committee.

Regional Considerations
The city of El Segundo was founded in 1917 in the middle of the petrochemical boom in Southern
California. It is estimated that in the 1920s, almost 20% of the world's oil production came from the Los
Angeles metro area. In order to meet increased demand, oil companies recruited tens of thousands of
workers from the Midwest and the South.
As the population in Southern California swelled, these new migrates found themselves settling into
neighborhoods along racial lines. This practice of redlining not only impacted cities like El Segundo then - it
also continues to be a major factor in the current demographics today.
Redlining
.! .!j.LJ.ni,.n,g, is a term that is used to describe the practice of segregating cities or neighborhoods along
racial and/or ethnic lines. During the Great Depression, the Federal Government created the Home
Owners' Loan Program in an effort to stabilize the housing market which had suffered a severe crash.
Undesirable terrain, proximity to pollution, and other factors were considered hazards; however, the
most damaging for minorities was that their own race was considered a hazard as well. These
individuals could only live and own homes in the "red" areas on the map (those communities that
received a D or lower on the grading scale) and thus could not reside in El Segundo.
Even though El Segundo was "a company town founded by Standard Oil, where 'oil wells, refinery and
tank farms' were all derogatory influences, and the beach was defiled by a large outfall sewer and oil
tanker docks and loading facilities, redlining was ruled out because residents protected their properties
against 'racial hazards.' El Segundo received a high yellow grade and was even lauded as a model for
neatness and upkeep." (Daniel G. Cumming NYU &; C108 HOLC 1939)
The use of real estate covenants (which was outlawed after the Fair Housing Act) was widely used in El
Segundo with evidence of such documents still available today. These covenants explicitly banned the
sale of a house to non -Whites, thus locking out members of all other races from ownership.
Klan Influence/Titus Alexander
While we only have anecdotal evidence that El Segundo was a "sundown town", we do know that there
was a contingent of Ku Klux Klan members in the city. In fact, "Los Angeles County's South Bay, which
includes El Segundo, was a hotbed for the Ku Klux Klan a century ago. In 1922, an estimated 12,000
people — including an El Segundo contingent — attended a Klan rally in Whittier Hills. In 1923, the El
Segundo Herald recounted how members of the Methodist church got "a real thrill" one Sunday when 10
white -robed Klan members "walked solemnly down the aisle, asked for prayer and left $120" to pay
the church's debts." (Meg Loe, LA Times)
This presence served to intimidate and discourage any non-White person from opening a business,
visiting or residing in El Segundo. Titus Alexander, a prominent Black entrepreneur, had visions of a
luxurious beach retreat for the growing Black population in Southern California. Although the city of Los
Angeles initially agreed in 1923 to lease him the land, his plans were met with stringent opposition in El
Segundo and other beach cities and he was forced to abandon the project.
1940s-1990s
As in most beachside communities in Southern California this time period, El Segundo's demographics
stayed almost exclusively White. During WWII, an El Segundo resident and business owner erected a
Page 3 of 14
Page 231 of 242
sign at the NW corner of Oak and Main that advertised discrimination towards Jewish and Japanese
Americans. This public display of racism and religious intolerance was common in Southern California,
reflecting the attitudes of many residents in the area.
Nevertheless, there were citizens with progressive views who lived in town as well. Frank Snow, editor of
the El Segundo Herald, opined that the sign reflected poorly on the city and that "Negro people are entitled
to be treated as human beings".
During the 1960s and 70s, many communities such as Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lynwood, and Compton
begin to see a dramatic shift in their demographics. This phenomenon - known as "white flight" - changes
communities almost overnight from predominantly White to almost all Black or Latino. In El Segundo,
however, there was hardly any increase in diversity with African Americans only making up 0.5% of the
population in 1980.
Present Day Ell Segundo
In the past 20 years, the city has found itself in the midst of a demographic shift. Roughly 3 in 10
residents are minorities and there are a wide array of religious faiths practiced in El Segundo.
Nevertheless, there are many residents who still feel unwelcome in El Segundo. "Black in Mayberry", a
documentary released in 2021 by Tanya Taylor, illustrated life in El Segundo through the lens of various
Black residents who described their experiences of racism, tokenism, and fear. The documentary was
widely watched and received widespread support.
B [';)AI° ' & S"III'° ' III111S°1I1°111fll,,'S
There are hundreds of bias -related incidents experienced by community members and visitors that have
been shared with local community organizations, El Segundo schools, El Segundo -based employers, and the
DEI Committee. Bias -related incidents and experiences of El Segundo community members have been
shared through a recent documentary and in prominent local newspapers. Some have led to legal action,
lawsuits, and litigation as well.
And these are just the incidents that have been shared. According to Police Chief Magazine, it is estimated
that only one-third of hate crimes are reported, not including hate incidents. Per the State of California, a
hate crime is a crime against a person, group, or property motivated by the victim's real or perceived
protected social group. You may be the victim of a hate crime if you have been targeted because of your
actual or perceived: (1) disability, (2) gender, (3) nationality, (4) race or ethnicity, (5) religion, (6) sexual
orientation, and (7) association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived
characteristics. A hate (or bias) incident is an action or behavior motivated by hate but which, for one or
more reasons, is not a crime. Examples of hate incidents include name-calling, insults, displaying hate
material on your own property, posting hate material that does not result in property damage, and
distribution of materials with hate messages in public places.
Under -reporting is just one of the challenges facing our collective efforts to address and improve DEI. Other
potential barriers and challenges include a lack of dedicated paid staff/resources and DEI committee
turnover. In light of these challenges, this report includes key takeaways, actions and recommendations
from the Community -at -Large Subcommittee.

Through the City's DEI Survey, community interactions at the farmer's market, public comments at DEI
Committee meetings and community members reaching out to us, we began to explore and identify DEI-
related needs of community members. The most prevalent themes are listed below. Please note: The
complete survey data is not included due to the fact that the percentage of survey responses received is
not sufficient to be considered representative of the El Segundo community. Since the survey's launch in
July 2022, the City has received 486 responses to the DEI Survey.
KEY FINDINGS
(11'oi~riirni,nr Ly dialogi,ae and edii al ion
While one hate incident is one too many, there are dozens of hate, bias and DEI-related incidents
happening to residents and community members in El Segundo each year. This is evidenced by the high
number of community experiences shared at events, on film, in media; mentions in communications,
conversations and public comments with the DEI Committee and the City; the significant amount of
feedback, stories, and requests for support with issues that take place within El Segundo schools; and
information collected from local businesses, not to mention the personal experiences of members of
the DEI Committee itself.
However, some DEI Survey responses indicate the scope of residents who do not understand the
purpose and concept of DEI, are not aware of the demographic make-up of El Segundo residents and
community members (including those who work and attend school here), don't see value in DEI, or are
against DEI as a whole and see it as a threat to our city. See some of these survey responses below.
Here is a summary of research identifying reasons behind resistance to DEI.
Survey Responses
"Stop with this dei bulls*** and leave our town alone."
"You're making a big deal for less than 1% of population."
"Everything is fine with the city. The inclusion committee is not even necessary. Racism is something
mostly made up by the media."
"Who cares. DEI is made up nonsense that has no use."
"Again the Idea of somehow legislating DEI is the stupidest idea in the history of stupid ideas"
"The city should not be wasting time and money on fake DEI. El Segundo is a welcoming community,
and the ESPD does its job to keep us safe."
"Committees like DEI foster separation between citizens, cause resentment, and encourage kids to
view themselves either as victims or guilty of perceived bias based on their skin color. Keep CRT out of
our schools and save the drag queens for adult venues."
"Good management, staff - no need to accommodate DEI pushers."
"The DEI needs to be shut down and Jimmy Peet sued to give back the money he grifted from the city.
This committee is a racist joke."

The survey and community feedback revealed a desire for more communication from the city regarding
support for DEI and as well as for City -sponsored DEI events and initiatives. Residents and community
members feel it is not enough to allow other groups to sponsor these types of events in town.

Residents and community members are equally as supported in the statement made by City -hosted
events as they are in the events themselves. *Inform about differentiation between what schools
handle and City
Survey Responses
"I feel the City could communicate a stronger message of inclusivity by creating events that honor or
celebrate the different cultures of our residents."
"Our current city council administration needs to take DEI matters much more seriously than they do.
Step outside your bubble."
"I've always felt the city did not, until recently, even acknowledge diversity and inclusion. I worry that
the city is only now addressing it because they need to, not because they want to."
"I do not know what programs there are for school -aged children to promote DEI."
"El Segundo government, specifically the city council, should be more diverse in all intersections
including gender, race, ethnicity, gender identity, economic status, and other marginalized
communities as to best represent the citizens of El Segundo."
"I feel that the city needs to make a clear stance that all are welcome in El Segundo and that we will
fight for the rights of all. If it is not clearly said and just implied as it is now then some will try to twist
the meaning."
"Please be bold in your efforts to advance DEI efforts in our community and don't bow to to the few
but loud voices trying to thwart these efforts."
"City leadership remains largely quiet on the topic of inclusion outside of forming a DEI committee."
"Verbal commitments and actions from city leadership. Town halls to hear directly from diverse
communities. Maybe block parties to incorporate the two."
"We have not shown a dedication to DEI. You can't have a DEI committee to 'check a box' and feel you
are doing enough. We don't celebrate diversity along all marginalized groups."

Community feedback has shown a feeling of underrepresentation and lack of support for the LGBTQIA
community in city events and initiatives. The city has made recent strides in declaring June pride
month starting in 2021. However, this proclamation occurred 22 years after President Clinton declared
the first pride month in June 1999. There have not, to date, been any City sponsored Pride related
events. There are currently no members of the LGBTQIA community in leadership positions nor on the
DEI Committee.
Survev Responses
"I don't feel that many diverse groups are being represented, especially the LGBTQIA community. I
work with, and worry about, our LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized youth. I don't think our town does
enough to acknowledge and embrace differences."
"I feel that there should be more arts and culture, as well as education and celebration, of BIPOC,
LGBTQIA (and other non -white, lower income) communities. Particularly in our public spaces and in our
schools. Although I myself am a high -income cis gender highly educated white person, I really wish I
lived in a community that was not only inclusive but truly embraced diversity. Raising a black child in El
Segundo sometimes feels scary, as there seems to be an undercurrent of racism and bigotry. Yet, I am
very encouraged by this DEI efforts and I hope that meaningful change will occur."
"I would love to see more PRIDE events in June."

I think there should be some way to publicly and physically display diversity in the community along
with some way to show that we're looking for more. Something like theming of main street,
storefronts, banners, pride days/weeks, business involvement for products, clear celebration of equal
opportunity employment and diversity in staff and residents. I feel like we don't see these things in
Public because people would fear being targeted for hate crimes or vandalism. and that the police
would not show up quickly or effectively to stop or investigate these issues (and if you're rolling your
eyes right now, that's a big issue.)"

Below are innovative examples of how other cities have shown their commitment to DEI. These ideas are
budget conscious, high impact initiatives that can be easily adapted and implemented in El Segundo.
• Jacksonville's One City, Our City, My City campaign was designed to promote respect, caring and
collaboration between all citizens in Jacksonville and encourages them to learn about their
neighbors' cultures.
• Huntington's Open to All Campaign actively promotes an inclusive environment for all people in the
City of Huntington by encouraging all businesses, houses of worship, civic groups and nonprofit
organizations to take the "Open to All Pledge" and maintain a safe and welcoming environment for
all employees, customers, visitors and vendors.
• San Luis Obispo's DEI website is a shining example of acknowledging a city's past while committing to
a better future: Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inlusion IcCity of San Luis Obispo, CA (slocity.org).
• City of Manhattan Beach directed staffing, use of City facilities, and funding to support the South Bay
Community Coalition Against Hate (SBCCAH) in October 2022 (City of El Segundo is a member), and
adopted a resolution of apology for historic racism on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, formally apologizing to
the families involved in the City's racially motivated acquisition of Bruce's Beach, as well as to the
Black community who experienced intimidation, harassment, and racial discrimination.

further analyze and determine action items to improve DEI in the City of El Segundo.
For prior reports, eight actionable items have been explored. The items are in various phases of
completion.

Below is a summary of recommendations and next steps, in addition to the items presented in the chart
above. Once approved, the DEI Committee will prioritize and add tasks/timing.
1. Support actions by City Council to promote healing, signal El Segundo's commitment to DEI, and
acknowledge and take accountability for historic inequity, exclusion, racism and discrimination. This
may include City proclamations, signage/statue/artwork (such as at the corner of Oak and Main),
dedicated space in City Hall (or other similar space in the City) that highlights notable past and present
diverse residents, or an update to the City's website recognizing El Segundo's problematic past and
reinforcing the City's commitment to a better future.
2. Provide resources (such as online tools and training) and support interactive and/or in -person DEI
training/education sessions for City Council, City staff, and the larger community, including sessions
where participants can ask questions and have a safe space for respectful dialogue. Topics may include
unconscious/implicit bias, bystander intervention, the meaning of DEI, microaggressions, and anti -
harassment. These educational sessions can also be used to gather more community feedback.
3. Host City -sponsored, family -friendly events during Pride in June, in addition to a proclamation and
lighting of the water tower and building and strengthening partnerships and collaboration with
LGBTQIA organizations and school clubs. Host similar events for Juneteenth, Hispanic & Latinx
American History Month, and other celebrations of historically underrepresented communities in El
Segundo.
4. Create a citywide pledge similar to the "Open to All Campaign" so community organizations,
businesses and others can show solidarity and their commitment to making El Segundo a more open,
welcoming community. This campaign can be extended to residents who can show their commitment
through posters, yard signs etc.
5. Create a network of "Community Liaisons" for the DEI Committee to consult regarding events and
communications geared toward a particular demographic.
6. Work with the City and other partners to further promote the survey and gather data through
community dialogue, awareness and education efforts, and other opportunities to build bridges and
foster a culture of empathy and inclusion, especially for the many residents and community members
who don't feel as safe or welcome as others.
7. Allocate City resources, such as a dedicated City team member with expertise and experience in DEI to
implement DEI initiatives and recommendations approved by City Council and a clear budget for DEI
initiatives.
