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
checks. Warrants are issued for payroll to individual employees, accounts payable to

Wiseburn Aquatics Center Pool Heaters
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive and file staff's report regarding the status of the permanent repairs to El
Segundo Wiseburn Aquatics Center pool heaters.
2. Adopt a motion by four -fifths vote to determine the need to continue the
emergency action approved under Resolution No. 5519.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As described on the November 5, 2024 Council agenda when the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 5519:
The estimated total cost for the permanent repair of the Aquatics Center Pool Heaters is
$700,000 ($613,724 repair + $86,276 contingency). The project costs were not included
in the adopted FY 2024-25 CIP Budget and requires a budget appropriation from
General Fund Reserves to the Capital Improvement Fund. Wiseburn Unified School

BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 2024, the City Council adopted a by four -fifths vote, declaring the
existence of an emergency and authorizing the award of a contract without competitive
bidding pursuant to Public Contract Code §§ 1102, 20168, and 22050 regarding the

authorize an additional $86,276 as contingency funds for potential unforeseen
conditions, for a total budget amount of $700,000.
DISCUSSION:
The emergency repairs are expected to take place in July and August 2025. State law
requires the Council to revisit the emergency at the next regular meeting and
subsequent regular meetings until the required action is terminated. Staff respectfully
recommend approval of the recommended actions as noted.

Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.5
TITLE:
Amendments to Agreements with Galls, LLC and L.A Uniforms and Tailoring, Inc. for
Police Officer Uniforms and Equipment
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to approve amendments to Agreement No. 3957 with
Galls, LLC and Agreement No. 6151 with L.A Uniform and Tailoring, Inc. to
increase the not -to -exceed amount of $80,000 per fiscal year for each contract,
pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code § 1-7-9(A).
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact on the General Fund. The increase will be funded with current El
Segundo Police Department (ESPD) funds.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2009, ESPD entered into Agreement No. 3957 with Galls, LLC to provide
uniforms and equipment for police department personnel. Since then, the contract has
been amended three times to update the terms, contract amount, and the list of
equipment and uniforms. At one point in time, Galls had a location in Culver City making
it the closest uniform and equipment store within a 10-mile radius. However, Galls
closed its Culver City location in July 2022, and now operates three additional locations:
Long Beach, Downtown Los Angeles, and Orange.
In anticipation of the closure of the Galls' Culver City location, ESPD added L.A
Uniforms and Tailoring, Inc. as an additional vendor for equipment and uniforms in
August 2021 under Agreement No. 6151. L.A Uniforms and Tailoring, Inc. started off as
a small store in 2017, and by 2021, had gained popularity among other South Bay
agencies. The business expanded their inventory and began offering on -site sewing and
alterations. L.A Uniforms and Tailoring, Inc. is located just 5.7 miles away from El
Segundo.

Contract Amendments
March 18, 2025
Page 2 of 2
Under El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) § 1-7-6, contract expenditures more than
$50,000 per fiscal year require City Council approval. ESPD seeks to increase the
annual fiscal year not -to -exceed amount for each agreement to $80,000.
DISCUSSION:
ESPD is authorized to hire up to 72 sworn officers. Since the beginning of the new fiscal
year, ESPD has successfully hired eight police officers and five police trainees. For our
uniform and tailoring needs, we primarily work with L.A. Uniform and Tailoring Inc.,
while Galls, LLC supplies our equipment.
With Galls, LLC, ESPD has direct communication with an account representative, and
with L.A. Uniform and Tailoring, ESPD interacts directly with the owners, streamlining
and improving the efficiency of our purchasing process. Despite Galls, LLC being
located further away, they offer an online portal that allows ESPD to make purchases
easily, with commonly ordered items saved under ESPD's own department profile.
To accommodate the ongoing need for additional uniforms and equipment as ESPD
continues hiring officers, ESPD recommends the City Council find that, pursuant to
ESMC § 1-7-9(A), the City's best interests are served by waiving a competitive selection
processes and increase the annual fiscal year not -to -exceed amount for each
agreement to $80,000.

TITLE:
Amendments to Agreements With Willdan Engineering and True North Compliance
Services, Inc. for Plan Check and Inspection Services
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to Agreement No. 6756
with Willdan Engineering to increase the annual not -to -exceed amount by
$250,000, for a total not -to -exceed amount of $500,000 per fiscal year for
building plan check review and inspection services.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to Agreement No. 6755
with True North Compliance, Inc. to increase the annual not -to -exceed amount
by $250,000, for a total not -to -exceed amount of $500,000 per fiscal year for
building plan check review and inspection services.
3. Appropriate $500,000 from the General Fund Reserves to FY 2024-25 budget
expenditure account 001-400-2403-6214.
4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All fees related to this item are paid from fees collected by the City for either plan check
or inspection services and do not impact the General Fund. The consultant fee remains
70% of the fee collected by the City, while the remaining 30% covers the City's
administrative and overhead costs.
The FY 2024-25 adopted budget includes $500,000 for Professional and Technical
Services for True North ($250,000) and Willdan Engineering ($250,000). An additional
appropriation of $500,000 is requested from the General Fund Reserves. The budget
breakdown is as follows:
• Amount Budgeted: $500,000 ($250,000 True North, $250,000 Willdan)

• Additional Appropriation: $500,000 ($250,000 True North, $250,000 Willdan)
• GL Account #: 001-400-2403-6214
BACKGROUND:
On September 19, 2023, City Council approved professional service agreements with
both True North Compliance Services and Willdan Engineering for building plan check
review and inspection services, with a fiscal year not -to -exceed compensation cap of
$75,000 each. This initial contract award was intended to augment two full-time plan
reviewers during periods of increased permitting activity or intermittent staff turnover.
Due to ongoing recruitment challenges in hiring qualified candidates for two vacant Plan
Check Engineer positions, the City has relied heavily on both firms to maintain timely
plan review services. Recognizing the need for additional support and to maintain the
high level of service El Segundo provides, on October 1, 2024, the City Council
approved an increase to $250,000 per fiscal year for each firm.
Since this increase, True North Compliance Services has expended over $200,000 of
its current contract balance, while Willdan Engineering has expended over $100,000.
Additionally, True North Compliance Services took over most of the resubmittals that
were initially reviewed by internal staff, ensuring there was no lag in the review process
and allowing projects to move forward without delays. Given the volume of plan check
reviews and continued reliance on these consultants, additional funding is required to
sustain service levels for the remainder of the fiscal year.
DISCUSSION:
The Building and Safety Division continues to process a high volume of building
permits, averaging between 800-1,300 permits annually. Currently, both consultants
receive 70% of the plan check fee for each initial review cycle, and applicants cover
additional hourly fees for reviews beyond the third round. While recruitment efforts
remain a priority, maintaining the City's high level of service requires the ability to send
out a greater volume of plan checks for professional review. Since all costs for these
services are covered by fees collected from applicants, increasing the contract limit will
allow the City to continue providing timely and efficient permitting services without
impacting the General Fund.
By raising the annual not -to -exceed compensation cap to $500,000 per consultant, the
City can:
• Ensure continued plan review and inspection services without delays.
Page 34 of 82
Contract Amendments with Willdan Engineering and True North Compliance
Services, Inc.
March 18, 2025
Page 3 of 3
• Maintain the current level of service and response times.
• Prevent processing backlogs that could affect residents, businesses, and
developers.
The terms of the agreements, including the 70% consultant fee structure, remain
unchanged. This amendment strictly adjusts the financial cap to align with operational
needs. Each agreement will be amended to a not -to -exceed compensation cap of
$500,000 per fiscal year until the expiration of the three-year term on September 19,
2026. If approved, the new combined contract amount for True North Compliance, Inc.
and Willdan Engineering for the first year would be $1,000,000, and $3,000,000 for the
full three-year term.

Item Number: C.8
TITLE:
First Reading of an Ordinance Amending El Segundo Municipal Code Chapter 15-34
Regarding the Cultural Development Requirement to Provide Artwork or Pay In -Lieu
Fee
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce and waive the first reading of an ordinance amending the El Segundo
Municipal Code, find that the ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3)
2. Schedule the ordinance's second reading for the March 18, 2025 City Council
meeting or as soon thereafter may be heard.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The City of El Segundo (the "City") established an art in public places fee through the
City Council's adoption of Ordinance No. 1594 on November 19, 2019. The City's
Cultural Development Program (CDP) applies to commercial or industrial development
projects where the project cost exceeds $2 million. Residential development projects
are exempt from the CDP. For a development subject to this fee, the developer has the
option to install artwork onsite equal to 1 % of the project's construction cost or
contribute an equivalent dollar amount as an in -lieu fee to the CDP.
At the November 19, 2024, City Council Meeting, the City Council directed staff to return
with an analysis of the CDP funding and information on similar programs in surrounding
municipalities. On January 21, 2025, staff presented to the City Council a
Page 38 of 82
Ordinance Amending El Segundo Municipal Code Chapter 15-34
March 18, 2025
Page 2 of 3
comprehensive analysis of the CDP funding, along with information on similar programs
implemented in surrounding municipalities. The City Council directed staff to:
1. Update the ordinance to include the ability to split funds between paying the in -
lieu fee and installing public art on -site;
2. Cap the CDP fee at $1,000,000; and
3. Update the timing of when in -lieu fee payments are made.
On February 13, 2025, the Planning Commission considered the proposed
amendments to the CDP, adopting Resolution No. 2961, recommending approval of the
draft ordinance with no changes.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with City Council direction at the January 21, 2025, City Council meeting,
and as recommended by the Planning Commission at the February 13, 2025
Commission meeting, the following aspects of the program have been raised for further
deliberation to be considered by City Council:
• ESMC § 15-34-3A: introduced a cap for the maximum fee contribution of
$1,000,000.
• ESMC § 15-34-3E: provided an option to provide the combination of on-onsite art
and pay the difference in fee.
ESMC § 15-34-413: permitting the deferral in timing of in -lieu payment to final
inspection or issuance of Certificate of Occupancy.
The proposed amendments do not modify the original purpose of the Cultural
Development Program. Rather, the amendments are intended to provide greater
flexibility to developers when programming the funds or electing to provide public art. In
addition to the substantive portions of the ordinance, staff recommends that the City
Council find that the ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) since
this project has no potential for causing any significant effect on the environment since
the ordinance merely modifies CDP fee requirements.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability
Strategy C: Implement strategic initiatives to attract new businesses and foster business
to business networking and collaboration to retain and grow existing businesses.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 15 (ZONING
REGULATIONS) OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
ESTABLISHING A PUBLIC ART OR IN -LIEU FEE
REQUIREMENT AND A CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT FUND
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. Courts have recognized a public art requirement as a lawful exercise of a
city's traditional planning and zoning police power; such a requirement for
either public art or in -lieu fees are not a development impact fee that is
subject to the California Mitigation Fee Act, but instead is considered a
development standard allowed by the City's zoning and police powers,
provided the requirement is reasonably related to a constitutionally
permissible public purpose (Ehrlich v. City of Culver City (1996) 12 CalAth
854; Ca/. Bldg. Industry Assn, v. City of San Jose (2015) 61 CalAth 435);
B. The City of El Segundo is 5.46 square miles and has distinct areas
throughout the City that are zoned for commercial and industrial uses,
including the Downtown area, Smoky Hollow, and the portion of the City
east of Pacific Coast Highway. Because the City is surrounded by other
cities (Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne), the Los Angeles International
Airport and the Pacific Ocean, and because the City is almost entirely
built out, existing opportunities to expand public art within the community
are scarce;
C. As commercial and industrial development and revitalization of the real
property within the City continues, urbanization of the community results,
and the need to develop new artistic and cultural resources to enhance
the environment, image, and character of the City increases;
D. Cultural and artistic resources enhance the quality of life for individuals
living in, working in, and visiting the City; public art increases cultural
awareness, stimulates imaginations and provokes creative dialog among
community members;
E. The development of artistic and cultural resources promotes the general
welfare of the community, by preserving and improving the quality of the
urban environment, increasing property values, and resulting in a positive
economic output;
Page 41 of 82
F. Artistic and cultural assets should be either provided or financed by those
whose commercial and industrial development and revitalization
increase the community's demand for cultural resources;
G. The proposed public art requirement is a requirement of general
application for voluntary development within the City, and the optional in -
lieu fee will be used for providing artwork, cultural services, performing
arts and arts events to the public, as described in this ordinance;
H. On December 18, 2018, the City Council directed the Arts and Culture
Advisory Committee and City staff to develop a Cultural Development
Fund proposal for its consideration;
L The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo held a noticed public
hearing on October 10, 2019, to review and consider the staff report
prepared for the project, receive public testimony, and review all
correspondence received on the project; the Planning Commission
reviewed and considered the proposed amendments, and adopted PC
Resolution No. 2875 recommending the City Council adopt the
ordinance; and
I. On July 16, 2019, and November 5, 2019, the City Council, after giving
notice thereof as required by law, held a public hearing concerning the
proposed ordinance and carefully considered all pertinent testimony
offered in the case, approved the Ordinance;
J. At the November 19, 2024, City Council Meeting, the City Council directed
staff to return to the City Council with an analysis of the CDP funding and
information on similar programs in surrounding municipalities;
K. At the City Council Meeting held on January 21, 2025, Staff conducted a
comprehensive review of the CDP and received directives from the City
Council to amend the ordinance including the ability to split the funds
between projects, establish a fee cap of $1,000,000, and update timing of
the in -lieu fee payments.
L. On February 13, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the draft ordinance
including, without limitation, information provided to the Planning Commission
by city staff; and adopted Resolution No. 2961 recommending that the City
Council approve this Ordinance;
M. On March 18, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing and considered
the information provided by City staff and public testimony regarding this
Page 42 of 82
Ordinance; and
N. This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire
administrative record including, without limitation, testimony and evidence
presented to the City Council at its April 1, 2025, hearing and the staff report
submitted by the Community Development Department.
SECTION 2: General Plan and Zoning Consistency. The City Council finds as
follows:
A. The proposed ordinance is compatible with, and will not frustrate, the goals
and policies of the City's General Plan. Furthermore, the proposed
ordinance would directly advance Goal LU2 and Objectives LU2-1 and
LU2-2, which seek to preserve and enhance the City's cultural resources.
The proposed ordinance would also advance Objective LU2-3, which
encourages the development of public programs and facilities that will
meet the cultural needs of the City's various age, income and ethnic
groups. The proposed ordinance is intended to require developers of
industrial and commercial projects to either provide public art or pay a fee
which will be used for public art and cultural activities. The proposed
ordinance establishes a dedicated source of funding for projects and
programs to meet and exceed the cultural needs of the City's residents.
B. The proposed ordinance is consistent with the Zoning Code which
recognizes works of art and establishes certain standards to distinguish
them from commercial signs (ESMC § 15-18-3(H)).
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. Based upon the findings of fact set forth
in Sections 1 and 2, the proposed zone text amendment is exempt from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California
Public Resources Code§§ 21000, et seq., "CEQX) and CEQA Guidelines section
15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that
adoption of the proposed ordinance will have a significant effect on the
environment.
SECTION 4: ESMC Title 15 (Zoning Regulations) is amended to add the
following chapter:
Section 15-34-3. Requirement to Provide Artwork or Pay In -
lieu Fee.
A. When a project is subject to this chapter, the applicant must
either (a) commission or acquire and install new artwork in a
location on or in the vicinity of the project site, with the appraised
Page 43 of 82
value of such artwork and any direct expenses as described
herein being equal to or exceeding one percent of the project
cost; or (b) pay to the City an amount equal to one percent of the
project cost.. not to exceed $1,000,000.
E. The fee may be allocated between the provision of on -site art
installations and the remittance of the remaining balance as an in-
lIPI I fPP
Section 15-34-4. Application and Approval Process.
C. ff-a An applicant may elects to pay the in -lieu fee at any time
prior to , Re buildiRg permit certificate of occupancy or final
inspection shall beissued URN the total fee has been roir�
SECTION 5: CONSTRUCTION. This ordinance must be broadly construed in
order to achieve the purposes stated in this ordinance. It is the City Council's intent
that the provisions of this ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and
others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this ordinance.
SECTION 6: ENFORCEABILITY. Repeal of any provision of the El Segundo
Municipal Code does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before,
or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring
before this ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full
force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the
effective date of this ordinance.
SECTION 7: VALIDITY OF PREVIOUS CODE SECTIONS. If this entire ordinance

A RESOLUTION OF THE EL SEGUNDO PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL FIND ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT NO.
25-01 EXEMPT FROM FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND
ADOPT AND APPROVE AMENDING TITLE 15 (ZONING REGULATIONS)
OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE MODIFYING THE PUBLIC
ART OR IN -LIEU FEE REQUIREMENT AND A CULTURAL
DEVELOPMENT FUND
(ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 1367 AND ZONE TEXT
AMENDMENT NO. 24-02)
The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Planning Commission finds and declares as follows:
A. Courts have recognized a public art requirement as a lawful exercise of a city's
traditional planning and zoning police power; such a requirement for either
public art or in -lieu fees are not a development impact fee that is subject to the
California Mitigation Fee Act, but instead is considered a development standard
allowed by the City's zoning and police powers, provided the requirement is
reasonably related to a constitutionally permissible public purpose (Ehrlich v.
City of Culver City (1996) 12 CalAth 854; Ca/. Bldg. Industry Assn, v. City of
San Jose (2015) 61 CalAth 435);
B. The City of El Segundo is 5.46 square miles and has distinct areas throughout
the City that are zoned for commercial and industrial uses, including the
Downtown area, Smoky Hollow, and the portion of the City east of Pacific Coast
Highway. Because the City is surrounded by other cities (Manhattan Beach,
Hawthorne), the Los Angeles International Airport and the Pacific Ocean, and
because the City is almost entirely built out, existing opportunities to expand
public art within the community are scarce;
C. As commercial and industrial development and revitalization of the real
property within the City continues, urbanization of the community results, and
the need to develop new artistic and cultural resources to enhance the
environment, image, and character of the City increases;
D. Cultural and artistic resources enhance the quality of life for individuals living
in, working in, and visiting the City; public art increases cultural awareness,
stimulates imaginations and provokes creative dialog among community
members;
E. The development of artistic and cultural resources promotes the general
welfare of the community, by preserving and improving the quality of the urban
environment, increasing property values, and resulting in a positive economic
1 of 10
Page 46 of 82
output;
F. Artistic and cultural assets should be either provided or financed by those
whose commercial and industrial development and revitalization increase the
community's demand for cultural resources;
G. The proposed public art requirement is a requirement of general application
for voluntary development within the City, and the optional in -lieu fee will be
used for providing artwork, cultural services, performing arts and arts events
to the public, as described in this ordinance;
H. On December 18, 2018, the City Council directed the Arts and Culture Advisory
Committee and City staff to develop a Cultural Development Fund proposal for
its consideration;
L The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo held a noticed public
hearing on October 10, 2019, to review and consider the staff report prepared
for the project, receive public testimony, and review all correspondence
received on the project; the Planning Commission reviewed and considered
the proposed amendments, and adopted PC Resolution No. 2875
recommending the City Council adopt the ordinance; and
I. On July 16, 2019, and November 5, 2019, the City Council, after giving notice
thereof as required by law, held a public hearing concerning the proposed
ordinance and carefully considered all pertinent testimony offered in the case,
approved the Ordinance;
J. At the November 19, 2024, City Council Meeting, the City Council directed staff
to return to the City Council with an analysis of the CDP funding and information
on similar programs in surrounding municipalities;
K. At the City Council Meeting held on January 21, 2025, Staff conducted a
comprehensive review of the CDP and received directives from the City Council
to amend the ordinance including the ability to split the funds between projects,
establish a fee cap of $1,000,000, and update timing of the in -lieu fee payments.
L. On February 13, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive
public testimony and other evidence regarding the draft ordinance including,
without limitation, information provided to the Planning Commission by city staff;
and adopted Resolution No. 2961 recommending that the City Council approve
this Ordinance;

M. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the evidence presented
to the Commission at its February 13, 2025, hearing including, without
limitation, the staff report submitted by the Community Development
Department and the totality of the evidence in the administrative record.
SECTION 2: General Plan and Zoning Consistency. The City Council finds as
follows:
A. The proposed ordinance is compatible with, and will not frustrate, the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan. Furthermore, the proposed ordinance would
directly advance Goal LU2 and Objectives LU2-1 and LU2-2, which seek to
preserve and enhance the City's cultural resources. The proposed ordinance
would also advance Objective LU2-3, which encourages the development of
public programs and facilities that will meet the cultural needs of the City's
various age, income and ethnic groups. The proposed ordinance is intended to
require developers of industrial and commercial projects to either provide public
art or pay a fee which will be used for public art and cultural activities. The
proposed ordinance establishes a dedicated source of funding for projects and
programs to meet and exceed the cultural needs of the City's residents.
B. The proposed ordinance is consistent with the Zoning Code which recognizes
works of art and establishes certain standards to distinguish them from
commercial signs (ESMC § 15-18-3(H)).
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. Based upon the findings of fact set forth
in Sections 1 and 2, the proposed zone text amendment is exempt from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California
Public Resources Code§§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines section
15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that
adoption of the proposed ordinance will have a significant effect on the
environment.
SECTION 4: Recommendations. The Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council adopt the Ordinance attached as Exhibit "A."
SECTION 5: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determination
in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and
written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and
determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Planning
Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial
evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 6: Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of the
project is based on information available at the time of the decision. It is inevitable that in
3

project will not exist. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate
assumptions.

subsequent resolution.

City Council Agenda Statement
F I, F G t I) O Meeting Date: March 18, 2025
Agenda Heading: Public Hearings
Item Number: C.9
TITLE:
A Resolution Establishing a Southern California Edison Rule 20A Undergrounding Utility
District Along Lairport Street from Mariposa Avenue to Maple Avenue
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a resolution to establish the "El Segundo Lairport Street Undergrounding
Utility District" along Lairport Street from Mariposa Avenue to Maple Avenue, so
that Southern California Edison may proceed with the design and construction of
undergrounding the utilities along the district as part of the Rule 20A Program.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City related to this project.
Based on available funds, the first phase of the project along Lairport Street has been
selected to be from Mariposa Avenue to 600' north, with an estimated cost of
$1,020,000 which can be done with current available funds. The design, construction,
and construction management of this project will be done/paid for by Southern
California Edison in its entirety.
BACKGROUND:
In 1967, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) established electric tariff
Rule 20 ("Rule 20") which governs the CPUC's jurisdictional electrical utilities. Under
Rule 20, there are three programs that apply to all utilities and a fourth program specific
to Rule 20 tariffs. The common Rule 20 programs are Rule 20A, Rule 20B, and Rule
20C.
Under Rule 20A, all customers ultimately pay for the undergrounding through SCE
rates, regardless of the level of participation by each community. Southern California
Page 56 of 82

Page 2 of 3
Edison (SCE) annually allocates "work credits" to cities and counties using the formula
found in Section A of Rule 20, as further described below. Cities and counties are
notified by letter each year of their work credit balance. However, projects are eligible
only if they are deemed to create a public benefit by satisfying at least one of the
following criteria-
1 . Eliminates or avoids an unusually heavy concentration of overhead lines.
2. Involves a street or road with a high volume of public traffic, including pedestrians
and bicycles.
3. Wheelchair access is limited or impeded by the electric/telecom infrastructure in
the sidewalks or other applicable public right-of-way that is otherwise not
compliant with the Americans with Disability Act.
4. Involves a road or public right-of-way that passes through a civic/public
recreation area or areas of significant scenic, cultural, and/or historic interest.
5. Be listed as an arterial street or major collector as defined by state guidelines.
As outlined in Rule 20A, SCE will, at its expense, replace its existing overhead electrical
distribution lines, all fiber optic communication lines (Trans-TeleComm), and other
communication lines on the poles with underground facilities. City staff have been
coordinating with SCE for the selection of a street which meets the requirements of Rule
20A, and at the same time it would not exceed the available funds. It is to be noted that
the Rule 20A Program does not include undergrounding of transmission lines, and
consequently, the existing transmission lines and the poles which support these
transmission lines will remain.
1]6*0111::1:1IC0F
Recently, some businesses which expressed interest in relocating to Lairport Street
have contacted staff and SCE for additional electrical transformer capacity.
Consequently, staff concentrated on Lairport Street, where the SCE could not only
underground its facilities, but could also upgrade the transformers' capacities of their
facilities to accommodate potentially new businesses. It is to be noted that the funds
from Rule 20A cannot be used to upgrade the transformers' capacities.
The cost of undergrounding projects is extremely high. Consequently, based on
available funds, the first phase of the project along Lairport Street has been selected to
be from Mariposa Avenue to 600' north, with an estimated cost of $1,020,000 which can
be done with current available funds.
As part of the requirements of Rule 20A, the City must conduct a public hearing and
adopt a resolution to establish an underground utility district which must include the
location of the project before the project is designed by SCE. Staff recommends that the
City Council support the creation of the proposed district based upon the findings that
the area involves a street or road with a high volume of public traffic and that the
Page 57 of 82
Undergrounding Utilities Along Lairport Street
March 18, 2025
Page 3 of 3
undergrounding will eliminate or avoid the heavy concentration of overhead lines.
After City Council adoption of the resolution, staff will coordinate with SCE for the
design of phase 1 of the project. The design efforts will include undergrounding of all
distribution and communication lines such as cable, fiber, telephone, and wireless lines
which belong to SCE as well as all other telecommunication utility companies. The SCE
will coordinate the design, construction and construction management / inspection of
the project with all involved communication utility companies at no cost to the City.
Subsequently, the project will be advertised by SCE for construction. It is anticipated
that the project will take about 6 to 9 months to design and about 9 months to a year to
complete the construction.
At this time, the staff would respectfully like to recommend the adoption of this
resolution, so that SCE can initiate the design for phase 1 of the project.

A RESOLUTION OF THE EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHING
THE EL SEGUNDO LAIRPORT STREET UNDERGROUNDING UTILITY
DISTRICT, A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON RULE 20A
UNDERGROUNDING DISTRICT ON LAIRPORT STREET BETWEEN
M /_101141-M _V/ 4 0 111:V_10111►yi /_1 91I M_1TJ *0 M =
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:
A. In 1967, the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") established
electric tariff Rule 20 (Rule 20) which governs the CPUC's jurisdictional
electrical utilities.
B. Under Rule 20, there are three programs that apply to all utilities and a
fourth program specific to the Rule 20 tariff. The common Rule 20
programs are Rule 20A, Rule 20B and Rule 20C.
C. The CPUC places limits on the amount of money electric utilities may
spend on utility ratepayer -funded underground conversion.
D. Under Rule 20A, all customers ultimately pay for the cost of
undergrounding through Southern California Edison ("SCE") rates,
regardless of the level of participation by each community, but only for
projects deemed to create a general public benefit by satisfying at least
one qualifying criterion.
E. SCE annually allocates "work credits" to cities and counties using the
formula found in Section A of Rule 20. Cities and counties are notified by
letter each year of their work credit balance.
F. The City seeks to establish the El Segundo Lairport Street
Undergrounding Utility District ("Lairport UUD") pursuant to Rule 20A.
G. Per Rule 20A, the City Council finds that the Laiport UUD is appropriate for
the following reasons:
1. Such undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy
concentration of overhead lines.
2. The street, road, or right-of-way serves as a major thoroughfare for the
general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian, bicycle, rail,
vehicular, or other traffic.
H. This Resolution, and its findings, is based upon the testimonial and written
Page 61 of 82
evidence within the entire administrative record including, without
limitation, the staff reports presented to the City Council at its duly noticed
public hearing on March 18, 2025, along with such records on file with the
City Clerk.
SECTION 2: Creation of Lairport UUD. Based on the above findings, the Lairport UUD
is established as graphically depicted in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated by
reference. The boundaries of the Lairport UUD are on Lairport Street, between
Mariposa Avenue and Maple Avenue.
SECTION 3: Environmental Review. This Resolution is exempt from review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et
seq., "CEQA") and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et

City Council Agenda Statement
F I. F. �' t I) �� Meeting Date: March 18, 2025
Agenda Heading: Public Hearings
Item Number: C.10
TITLE:
Continued Public Hearing on Ordinance Amending El Segundo Municipal Code Title 15
to Update the Parking Requirements for Multiple -Family Residential Development and
Implement Housing Element Program 9
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open and conduct a public hearing to solicit public testimony.
2. Introduce and waive the first reading of an ordinance amending El Segundo
Municipal Code Title 15 and finding that the ordinance is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines § 15061(b)(3).
3. Schedule the ordinance's second reading for the April 1, 2025, regular City
Council meeting.
4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On March 4, 2025, the City Council conducted a public hearing regarding an
amendment to the El Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") to update the R-3 Zone (i.e.,
multiple -family residential) parking requirements. The proposed amendment is one of
the action items in Program 9 of the City's 2021-2029 Housing Element. In summary,
the draft ordinance proposed replacing the current flat parking rate of two parking
spaces per dwelling unit with a sliding scale based on the number of bedrooms per unit.
Specifically, the proposed parking requirement matched the requirement in the Pacific
Coast Commons (PCC) Specific Plan which is presented in Table No. 1 below.

In addition to the required number of parking spaces, the draft ordinance also proposed
amending the tandem parking regulations for multiple -family residential uses.
Specifically, the ordinance would amend the ESMC tandem parking regulations to allow
up to 20 percent of required resident parking in multiple -family residential developments
to be provided in tandem configuration. In addition, the ordinance would include the
following two restrictions on multiple -family residential tandem parking:
1. Limit the depth of the tandem spaces to two spaces, and
2. Require tandem spaces to be assigned to the same unit.
DISCUSSION:
During the public hearing on March 4, 2025, the City Council considered the staff
presentation and public testimony, and discussed the proposed amendments. At the
conclusion of the discussion, the City Council directed staff to revise the draft ordinance
as described below and continued the item to its March 18, 2025, meeting.
Ordinance Revisions
Off -Street Parking Regulations (ESMC Chapter 15-15)

spaces per unit, irrespective of the number of bedrooms per unit.
3. Continue to prohibit tandem parking for multiple -family residential uses.

(ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 1367 AND ZONE TEXT
AMENDMENT NO. 24-02)
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On November 15, 2022, the City Council adopted the 2021-2029 Housing Element
of the El Segundo General Plan;
B. Program 9 (Code Amendments) of the Housing Element calls for amendments to
the El Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") to remove constraints on and to facilitate
the construction of housing. Specifically, Program 9 calls for amending the current
parking requirements for multiple -family residential uses to a sliding scale based
on unit size;
C. The Community Development Department prepared a draft ordinance amending
ESMC Title 15, Chapter 15 implementing Program 9 of the 2021-2029 Housing
Element to update the parking requirements for multiple -family residential uses,
and scheduled a public hearing before the Planning Commission for February 13,

D. On February 13, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive
public testimony and other evidence regarding the draft ordinance including,
without limitation, information provided to the Planning Commission by city staff;
and adopted Resolution No. 2954 recommending that the City Council approve
this Ordinance;
E. On March 4, 2025, the City Council opened a duly noticed public hearing, directed

Page 1
Page 67 of 82
F. On March 18, 2025, the City Council conducted the continued public hearing and
considered the updated information provided by City staff and public testimony
regarding this Ordinance; and
G. This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire administrative
record including, without limitation, testimony and evidence presented to the City
Council at its March 4, 2025 and March 18, 2025 public hearing and the staff report
submitted by the Community Development Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds that adopting the
proposed Ordinance would result in the following:
A. Amend ESMC Article 8-5A (Preferential Parking Zones), Section 7 (Permits)
establishing properties ineligible for preferential parking permits, authorizing the
denial or revocation of preferential parking permits for illegal conversion of a
garage or other required parking space, and revising the duration of permit validity.
B. Amend ESMC § 15-15-6 revising the minimum parking requirement for multiple -
family dwellings to a sliding scale based on the number of bedrooms.
SECTION 3: General Plan Findings. As required under Government Code § 65860, the
ESMC amendments proposed by the Ordinance are consistent with the El Segundo
General Plan as follows:
A. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with Program 9 of the General Plan Housing
Element in that it would remove governmental and other constraints to facilitate
the development of multiple -family residential uses.
B. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan Housing Element in
that the amendments contribute to improving the existing jobs -housing balance in
the City and provide opportunities for new housing construction in a variety of
locations and a variety of densities.
C. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan Housing Element in
that the amendments provide sufficient new, affordable housing opportunities in
the City to meet the needs of groups with special requirements, including the needs
of lower and moderate- income households.
D. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan Housing Element in
that the amendments remove governmental constraints to diversify available
housing opportunities, including ownership and rental, fair -market, and assisted,
in conformance with open housing policies and free of discriminatory practices.
SECTION 4: Zone Text Amendment Findings. In accordance with ESMC Chapter 15-27
(Amendments), and based on the findings set forth above, the proposed Ordinance is
consistent with and necessary to carry out the purpose of the ESMC as follows:
Page 2
Page 68 of 82
A. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan in that the
amendments would implement the goals, policies, and programs of the Housing
Element. Implementation of the Housing Element would preserve the existing
housing stock and encourage construction of new residential units, including
affordable housing, without affecting the character of existing single-family
residential neighborhoods.
B. The proposed Ordinance is necessary to serve the public health, safety, and
general welfare in that it would implement the Housing Element Update, which
includes programs, goals, and policies that help to maintain and improve the
existing housing stock in the City. The proposed amendments would facilitate the
development of additional housing in the community, which contribute to improving
the existing jobs -housing balance and facilitates the development of housing that
is affordable to households of various income levels and thus will provide equal
housing opportunities to all segments of the community.
SECTION 5: Environmental Assessment. Based on the facts set forth in Section 2, the
City Council finds that the zone text amendment is exempt from further review under the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §
15061(b)(3)), because it consists only of minor revisions to existing zoning regulations
and related procedures and does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on
the environment. This finding is also based upon the determination by the State
Department of Housing and Community Development and the State legislature that the
City is required to adopt these regulations in order to maintain a compliant Housing
Element.
SECTION 6: Section 8-5A-7 of Article A of Chapter 8-5 of Title 8 of the ESMC is amended
to include a new Subsections F and G which will read as follows:
8-5A-7: PERMITS:
F. Ineligible Properties: The following properties may be deemed ineligible for a permit
✓ the Citv Council at the time it establishes a preferential Darkina zone:

1, 2025 that are legally approved to provide fewer than two parking spaces per
dwelling unit (regardless of size or bedroom count) and/or less than 1 visitor space for

BACKGROUND:
The El Segundo Police Department operates as a full -service agency with an authorized

topics, including an overview of the department and crime statistics. It will provide a
detailed analysis of Part 1 crimes, which are classified by the Federal Bureau of

DISCUSSION:
The presentation will provide a thorough overview of Part 1 crimes in the City of El
Segundo, featuring a three-year comparison to highlight key crime trends. The City
experienced an 18% decrease in Part 1 crimes from calendar year 2023 to 2024. In
2024, there were 166 reported crimes against persons and 900 property -related crimes,
reflecting a reduction of 237 Part 1 crimes compared to 2023.
While no single factor can fully explain the decline in crime statistics for CY 2024,
several initiatives implemented by the El Segundo Police Department (ESPD) are linked
to this decrease. The discussion will cover the following factors:
1. Increased staffing levels through the hiring of additional police officers.
2. Monthly crime meetings.

immediate assistance with risk management and transfer, insurance, third -party
administrators for workers' compensation and general liability claims, litigation, and
safety training.
