Such warrants look like checks and clear through the banking system like checks. Warrants are issued for payroll to individual employees, accounts payable to Page 17 of 82 Warrant Demand Register March 18, 2025 Page 2 of 2 vendors, to local governments, and to companies or individual taxpayers receiving a refund.

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 District (WUSD) agreed to reimburse the City half of the construction cost after the competition of the work, up to $300,000. The budget request is as follows: Amount Budgeted in FY 2024-25: $0 Additional Appropriation: $700,000 Expense Account Number: 301-400-8202-8463 (General Fund CIP - Aquatics Center Pool Heaters) Establish Transfer Out Budget: $700,000 Transfer Out Account Number: 001-400-0000-9301 (Transfer out from General Fund to CIP Fund) Page 28 of 82 Continue Emergency Action for the Permanent Repair of the City of El Segundo Wiseburn Aquatics Center Pool Heaters March 18, 2025 Page 2 of 3 Establish Transfer In Budget: $700,000 Transfer In Account Number: 301-300-0000-9001 (Transfer in to CIP Fund from General Fund) Set Revenue budget: $300,000 Revenue Account Number: 001-300-XXXX-XXXX (WUSD Pool Heater Contribution)* * Revenue account will be generated after funds are received from WUSD 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 needed permanent repair work for the heaters at the Aquatic Center. The City Council also authorized the City Manager to approve and execute a standard Public Works Construction Contract with Knorr Systems International to repair existing heaters at the El Segundo Wiseburn Aquatics Center for an amount of $613,724 and 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.

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. Page 31 of 82 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. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 2: Optimize Community Safety and Preparedness Strategy C: Protect and prepare the El Segundo community and staff for any emergency, disaster, or environmental violation.

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) Page 33 of 82 Contract Amendments with Willdan Engineering and True North Compliance Services, Inc. March 18, 2025 Page 2 of 3 • 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.

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. Page 39 of 82 Ordinance Amending El Segundo Municipal Code Chapter 15-34 March 18, 2025 Page 3 of 3 Strategy D: Implement community planning, land use, and enforcement policies that encourage growth while preserving El Segundo's quality of life and small-town character.

Draft Ordinance 2. Planning Commission Resolution No. 2961 Page 40 of 82 DRAFT ORDINANCE NO. 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 or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal or amendment of the ESMC or other city ordinance by this ordinance will be rendered void and cause such previous ESMC provision or other the city ordinance to remain in full force and effect for all purposes. SECTION 8: SEVERABILITY. If any part of this ordinance 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 ordinance are severable. SECTION 9: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of Page 44 of 82 original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within 15 days after the passage and adoption of this ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

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 Undergrounding Utilities Along Lairport Street March 18, 2025 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.

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 seq.) because it establishes an underground utility district only for the purpose of obtaining funds for future capital projects. Any such project will undergo its own CEQA review. This Resolution, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15273. SECTION 4: Noticing to SCE. The Public Works Director, or designee, is directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to SCE to notify of the establishment of the Lairport UUD. SECTION 5: Signature Authority. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby 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 directed to attest thereto. SECTION 6: Effective Date. This Resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded. SECTION 7: City Clerk Direction. The City Clerk will certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution, enter it in the City's book of original Resolutions, and make a record of this action in the meeting's minutes.

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. Page 64 of 82 Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 24-02 Multiple -Family Residential Parking March 18, 2025 Page 2 of 3 Table No. 1: Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan Parking Requirements Studio 1 space One Bedroom 1.5 spaces Two Bedrooms 2 spaces Guest Parking 1/3 space per unit 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) Increase the proposed parking requirement/sliding scale for one -bedroom units from 1.5 spaces to two parking spaces. 2. Require multiple -family residential projects over two acres to provide two parking spaces per unit, irrespective of the number of bedrooms per unit. 3. Continue to prohibit tandem parking for multiple -family residential uses.

Draft Ordinance (Revised) Page 66 of 82 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE ARTICLE 8-5A (PREFERENTIAL PARKING ZONES) TO ESTABLISH PROPERTIES INELIGIBLE FOR PREFERENTIAL PARKING PERMITS, AND CHAPTER 15-15 (OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING) TO UPDATE THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS 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, 2025; 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 staff to amend the Ordinance to modify the proposed parking requirements and establish properties ineligible for preferential parking permits, and continued the public hearing to March 18, 2025; 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. Properties in the Single -Family Residential (R-1) and Two -Family Residential (R-2) zones duly developed after May 1, 2025 that are legally approved to provide fewer than two parking spaces per dwelling unit (regardless of size or bedroom count). 2. Properties in the Multiple -Family Residential (R-3) zone duly developed after May 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 every three dwelling units. 3.

Receive and file the El Segundo Police Department overview presentation. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The El Segundo Police Department operates as a full -service agency with an authorized staffing level of 72 full-time sworn officers. The upcoming presentation will cover various 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 Investigation as Crimes Against Persons and Property -related offenses. 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.

Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The Independent Cities Risk Management Authority (ICRMA) is a not -for -profit joint powers authority directed by a governing board ("Governing Board") consisting of one representative from each of the member cities. The Governing Board directs the activities of the pools, programs and outside administrators to the advantage of its membership. ICRMA is managed by a professional administrative staff to provide immediate assistance with risk management and transfer, insurance, third -party administrators for workers' compensation and general liability claims, litigation, and safety training. The City has been a member of ICRMA since 1985 and participates in the following programs: general liability, workers' compensation, property and equipment, auto physical damage, flood, crime, cyber, and terrorism. Currently, the ICRMA includes the following 14 cities: Adelanto, Bell, Downey, El Monte, El Segundo, Fullerton, Glendora, Hawthorne, Huntington Park, Inglewood, San Fernando, Santa Ana and South Gate. Page 75 of 82 Notice of Intent to Withdraw from ICRMA March 18, 2025 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION: The bylaws of ICRMA require that any member requesting to leave ICRMA, whether one or all its offered risk programs, must submit their intent to withdraw membership from ICRMA in writing. In addition, the requested action to withdraw must be approved through a resolution by the member agency's Governing Board/City Council. The City is interested in performing an analysis on the feasibility of continued participation in ICRMA and wishes to explore membership in other risk -sharing pools and/or directly purchasing commercial insurance from a vendor(s). Should the City decide to transition to an alternate risk pool effective program year beginning July 1, 2026, the bylaws require that the Notice of Intent Resolution be provided no later than July 1, 2025 to ICRMA. The provision of written notice to withdraw prior to July 1, 2025 does not preclude the City from rescinding such notice should the City wish to remain with ICRMA during the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 program year after an analysis is completed. If the City decided to remain with ICRMA, a resolution revoking the notice to withdraw is required by December 1, 2025.
