RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE RECREATION AND PARKS COMMISSOIN
FINDING THAT CERTAIN CONDITIONS EXIST TO CONTINUE
CONDUCTING PUBLIC MEETINGS VIA TELECONFERENCING
PURUSANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(e).
The Recreation and Parks Commission resolves as follows:
SECTION 1: The Recreation and Parks Commission finds and declares as follows:
A. On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of
Emergency in California due to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.
B. This gubernatorial proclamation, among other things, suspended local
government emergency declaration, reporting, and extension
requirements of Government Code § 8630 for the duration of the COVID-
19 pandemic.
C. Effective September 16, 2021, Assembly Bill No. 361 ("AB 361") took effect
which, among other things, amends certain provisions of the Ralph M.
Brown Act ("Brown Act") governing open meetings to allow
teleconferencing, including internet-based video conferencing, in a manner
similar to previously issued gubernatorial executive orders.
D. During a proclaimed state of emergency, AB 361 allows a legislative body,
like the Recreation and Parks Commission, to continue utilizing
teleconferencing to conduct public meetings under certain circumstances,
provided the legislative body makes certain findings.
E. After an initial meeting in which certain findings are made, to continue
meeting pursuant to AB 361, the legislative body must, every 30 days
thereafter, declare that it has reconsidered the circumstances of the state
of emergency and either: (1) the state of emergency continues to directly
impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person; or (2) state or
local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote
social distancing.
F. On October 5, 2021, the El Segundo City Council adopted Resolution
5275 prohibiting other City legislative bodies from meeting exclusively in
person, except as determined by the City Manager or until the City Council
provides further direction. The City Council Resolution directed all
legislative bodies of the City to consider the adoption of a resolution
authorizing the use of teleconferenced meetings pursuant to Government
Code § 54953(e).
SECTION 2: Teleconferencing. Pursuant to Government Code § 54953(e), the
Recreation and Parks Commission finds as follows:
A. The state of California continues to be in a declared state of emergency
pursuant to Government Code § 8625 (the California Emergency Services Act;
see Government Code § 54953(e)(3); see also Governor's Proclamation dated
March 4, 2020);
B. Based upon the most recent Order of the Health Officer for the County of Los
Angeles Department of Public Health (dated September 17, 2021 and
effective October 7, 2021), masks and social distancing continue to be
recommended as necessary to curb the spread of COVID-19 (Government
Code § 54953(e)(3)(B)(ii));
C. The circumstances continue to directly impact the ability of the members of
the Recreation and Parks Commission to meet safely in person;
D. Accordingly, to protect public health, the Recreation and Parks Commission
finds that it is in the public interest to conduct its public meetings via
teleconference as defined by Government Code § 54953;
E. The Recreation and Parks Commission will adhere to all requirements of
Government Code § 54953(e) governing teleconferencing during the
emergency.
SECTION 3: Reporting. Every 30 days following adoption of this Resolution, the
Recreation and Parks Commission will reconsider the extension of the teleconferencing
method of public meetings in accordance with Government Code § 54953(e)(3). Such
determinations may be placed on the consent calendar.
SECTION 4: Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic
signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will
be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.
SECTION 5: Recordation. The presiding officer of the Recreation and Parks Commission
is authorized to sign this Resolution signifying its adoption by the Recreation and Parks
Commission.
SECTION 6: Effective Date. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon
adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 13'" day of October, 2021.

SUBJECT: Community Services Updates
Urho Saari Swim Stadium ("Plunge") Update
In addition to staff's recent update to City Council on October 19, 2021, El Segundo Media helped share
a variety of community updates regarding renovation plans for the Plunge in the last few weeks.
Messaging includes:

• Movement to the engineering design and fundraising phases

• Additional information will be shared on the City's website, social media, and future news bulletins
Aquatics Fees Update
Staff presented the Aquatics Fee Study at the City Council Meeting on November 2, 2021 with a
recommendation to "Review the Aquatics Fee Study, retain the existing Aquatics fee structure, and
apply the consumer price index (cpi) cost inflator to the Aquatics fees each year as part of the annual
Master Fee Schedule update." City Council voted 3-2 not to apply the cpi cost inflator to Aquatics fees.
Recreation Park Needs Assessment Update
RJM Design Group and staff are scheduled to present the Recreation Park Needs Assessment and
Master Plan recommendations to City Council at their meeting on November 16, 2021. Staff's
recommendation to City Council includes:
1. Review Proposed Recreation Park Needs Assessment and Master Plan
2. Approve the Proposed Recreation Park Master Plan to serve as a working document for the
planning, enhancement, and development of Recreation Park over the next 15 years
3. Direct staff to move forward with improvements to the Teen Center, Skate Park, and basketball
courts
The estimated cost to implement all of the proposed projects in the Recreation Park Needs Assessment
report exceeds $35 million as outlined in the attached Order of Magnitude Opinion of Probable
Construction Cost Estimate. Staff will use this document in preparing the ten-year Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) as part of the Proposed FY 2022-2023 & FY 2023-2024 Biennial Budget preparation
process. Potential funding sources for both one-time capital construction and recurring maintenance will
need to be developed at a later date.
The adopted FY 2021-2022 Capital Improvement Program includes $800,000 for Recreation Park
projects. To date, $50,000 was allocated to prepare the Recreation Park Needs Assessment and Master
Plan recommendations. This leaves a balance of $750,000 which staff recommends allocating in the
following manner:
1. Teen Center - $300,000 (Interior upgrades, including bathrooms)
2. Basketball Courts - $250,000 (Regrade, resurface, and restripe Teen Center court and adjacent
paving, repair and repaint surfacing at Recreation Park court, and replace and renovate hoops
and fencing)
3. Skate Park - $200,000 (Renovate and refurbish skate features and fencing and remove and
replace Skate Park pedestrian lighting)
Application for Per Capita Grant Funds
City Council will consider adopting a resolution to allow application for Per Capita Grant Funds to
receive funding from the Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 68) at their meeting on
November 16, 2021. The total grant amount of $188,087 will be allocated to the Acacia Park project.
The park was completed in April 2021 with the following funds: Measure W, Wastewater,
Park Development, General, and Prop 68.Thank you to Senior Administrative Analyst
Monse Palacios for her work securing the grant.
