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 Page 20 of 114 Warrant Demand Register April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 2 vendors, to local governments, and to companies or individual taxpayers receiving a refund. DISCUSSION: The attached Warrants Listing delineates the warrants that have been paid for the period identified above. The Chief Financial Officer certifies that the listed warrants were drawn in payment of demands conforming to the adopted budget and that these demands are being presented to the City Council at its first meeting after the delivery of the warrants.

PREPARED BY: Michael Allen, Community Development Director REVIEWED BY: Michael Allen, Community Development Director APPROVED BY: Barbara Voss, Deputy City Manager ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1. Ordinance No. 1671 Page 29 of 114 ORDINANCE NO. 1671 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 (ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 1382 AND ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 25-01) 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 Page 30 of 114 economic 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; Page 31 of 114 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 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., "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: 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 Page 32 of 114 either (a) commission or acquire and install new artwork in a location on or in the vicinity of the project site, with the appraised 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 - lieu fee. 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 , no building permit certificate of occupancy or final inspection shall be issi p-d- until the total foe has boon not-. 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. Page 33 of 114 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 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.

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 38 of 114 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 39 of 114 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.

Hensley, City Attorney ATTEST: STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) SS CITY OF EL SEGUNDO ) I, Susan Truax, City Clerk of the City of El Segundo, California, do hereby certify that the whole number of members of the City Council of said City is five; that the foregoing Ordinance No. was duly introduced by said City Council at a regular meeting held on the day of 2025, and was duly passed and adopted by said City Council, approved and signed by the Mayor, and attested to by the City Clerk, all at a regular meeting of said Council held on the day of 2025, and the same was so passed and adopted by the following vote- AYES- NOES - ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Susan Truax, City Clerk Page 6 Page 43 of 114 City Council Agenda Statement F I, F, G t I) O Meeting Date: April 1, 2025 Agenda Heading: Consent Item Number: B.9 TITLE: Side Letter Agreement Between the City of El Segundo and the El Segundo Police Managers' Association RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a side letter agreement between the City of El Segundo and the El Segundo Police Managers' Association (PMA) updating the Vacation Leave provision in the Memorandum of Understanding to remove the requirement of completion of probation and/or attainment of Step E in the salary range for placement in the Vacation Leave accrual schedule based on total years of service in the California Public Employees' Retirement System or comparable agency. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: Upon City Council approval of the Side Letter, additional Vacation Leave hours will be provided in accordance with the Vacation Leave provision in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). During calendar year 2025, these hours may only be used for time off requests. No additional funding is required. BACKGROUND: The City and the ESPMA are currently parties to an MOU for the term October 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The parties are interested in updating the provision in the MOU regarding placement in the Vacation Leave accrual schedule to remove the requirement of completion of probation and/or attainment of Step E in the salary range. Removal of these conditions would recognize total years of service in a California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) or comparable agency upon hire. A Side Letter outlining this item is attached to this report for City Council's consideration. Page 44 of 114 Adoption of a Side Letter Agreement April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION: The current PMA MOU was approved and adopted by the City Council on November 7, 2023. Overlapping with the labor negotiations process for the operative MOU, the City was conducting an "open and competitive" recruitment for the Police Captain position. The candidate selected was from an agency outside of the City of El Segundo and began employment in December 2023. Article 4- Leaves and Absences of the PMA MOU includes language regarding Vacation Leave accrual based on total service time in a CalPERS or comparable agency requiring that employees complete their initial probationary period with the City and/or achieve Step E (top step) in the salary range. This means that when an employee is hired into the PMA from an agency outside of the City of El Segundo, they are placed into the Vacation Leave accrual schedule at the zero (0) to five (5) years of service tier. This Side Letter removes the requirement to complete the initial probationary period with the City and/or achieve Step E (top step) in the salary range and is consistent with language in the Administrative Code Chapter 1A2 for the Management and Confidential Series employees. In the future, if the City were to conduct an "open and competitive" recruitment and select a candidate outside the City of El Segundo, this updated provision recognizes total years of service at hire. Upon City Council approval, the affected PMA employee would receive the difference in Vacation Leave hours from their current accrual rate to the placement in the tier recognizing their total years of service in a CalPERS agency.

WHEREAS, the following sets forth the Parties' Agreement: The City will revise MOU Article 4- Leaves and Absences, Section 1 D to remove the requirement that employees achieve Step E placement in their assigned salary range to be placed in a leave accrual reflecting their total years of service in a CalPERS or comparable agency. The revised language shall read, "PMA employees shall accumulate Vacation Leave based on their total years of service in a CalPERS or comparable agency." Article 4- Leaves and Absences was effective upon approval and adoption of the MOU, November 7, 2023, and any employee hired into PMA will be placed into the Vacation Leave accrual schedule utilizing their total years of service in a CalPERS or comparable agency effective November 7, 2023.

This equipment has been in service for 10 years, has reached the end -of - life (EOL), and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Modern software applications struggle to run on this hardware due to its limited processing power. Additionally, Microsoft has announced October 14, 2025 as the EOL for Windows 10 (the current operating system for the Dell equipment). After that date, Windows desktop operating systems will be required to upgrade to Windows 11 in order to receive support. The current PC hardware does not meet the specifications required to upgrade to Windows 11. Page 49 of 114 Agreement with Insight Public Sector, Inc. for 80 ESPD Desktop Computers April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 3 El Segundo Municipal Code Chapter 1-7 requires a competitive bidding process for purchases over $50,000 in a fiscal year. As described below, staff carried out a request for bid process that has resulted in the recommendation of award to the lowest bidder. DISCUSSION: The Information Technology Services Department (ITSD) identified Dell OptiPlex SFF 7020 and Dell OptiPlex SFF 3460 as replacement equipment. Dell has proven to be a reliable brand and staff have experience supporting this equipment. On February 6, 2025, ITSD issued a request for bid #25-01 (RFB 25-01) for replacement Dell desktop computers, including webcam and speaker accessories. A copy of RFB 25-01 is attached.

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: 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. 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) Establish Transfer In Budget: $700,000 Page 53 of 114 Continue Emergency Action for the Permanent Repair of the City of El Segundo Wiseburn Aquatics Center Pool Heaters April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 3 Transfer In Account Number: 301-300-0000-9001 (Transfer into 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. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 1: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology Strategy B: Seek opportunities to implement the use of innovative technology to improve services, efficiency, and transparency.

The contract term will remain unchanged and expires October 22, 2027. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: Included in the Police Department's FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget. Amount Budgeted: $80,000.00 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): 001-400-3101-6206 (Contractual Services) BACKGROUND: In October 2023, the Police Department entered into Agreement No. 6772 with Gallatin Investigations LLC ("Gallatin") to provide pre -employment investigations and background screenings for sworn and non -sworn applicants with a sum not to exceed $50,000 per fiscal year. The department added Gallatin to enhance the employment process in anticipation of additional sworn personnel and upcoming retirements. In October 2024, Gallatin Investigations LLC went through a legal change in business name to LM Investigations LLC ("LMI") and Agreement No. 6772 was amended to reflect this name change. LMI conducts thorough applicant background screenings that Page 56 of 114 Agreement with LM Investigations LLC April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 3 may take 45 days or less. LMI does not give opinions in the background report; however, all facts, good and bad, are presented to the agency. The following is an abbreviated list of what LMI includes in background investigations: all law enforcement employment, and disqualified backgrounds will be visited in person, neighborhood checks and interviews done by Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) rules. Most importantly, POST guidelines, legal case law, and government codes are always observed and followed. Under El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) § 1-7-6, contract expenditures of more than $50,000 per fiscal year require City Council approval. ESPD seeks to increase the annual fiscal year not -to -exceed amount of the agreement to $80,000. DISCUSSION: On June 20, 2023, City Council authorized an additional 10 sworn personnel to attain a total of 72 sworn personnel. The Police and Human Resources Departments have been diligently working together to fill the additional 10 positions to achieve the goal of 72 sworn personnel. Although additional personnel were approved, at the end of 2023, the Police Department anticipated a total of eight retirements. Already struggling with police officer recruitment and the time constraints in completing a background packet, the Police Department hired an additional background company, LMI, to increase the number of applicants going through background screenings. The report from LMI may take 45 days or less, but there are other components to the background process. The applicant's steps include the application, physical fitness and written test, oral interview, background investigation, psychological evaluation, and medical evaluation. A minimum of 11 weeks is anticipated to complete the hiring process. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, LMI conducted 33 background investigations for various police personnel positions. Out of the 33 candidates, seven successfully completed the remaining stages of the hiring process and were offered positions. To accommodate the ongoing need for hiring police officers, the Police Department 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 process and increasing the annual fiscal year not -to -exceed amount for the agreement to $80,000.

Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact on acquiring patrol lockers and charging lockers for uniformed personnel within the Police Department is $55,000. The cost will be paid out of the Developer Impact Fees collected in account 001-254-0000-1254 (Designated Police General Fund Balance). These funds were not budgeted in FY 2024-25 and require un- designating $55,000 from account 001-254-0000-1254 (Designated Police General Fund Balance) and appropriating $55,000 to account 001-400-3101-6206 (Contractual Services). BACKGROUND: Throughout the year the Developer Impact Fees (DIF) are posted to the revenue account 001-300-8132-3972 and at year end the funds are moved to Designated Police General Fund Balance, 001-254-0000-1254. DIFs are one-time charges that local governments impose on new development projects to help fund the infrastructure and public services needed to support growth. These funds were not included in the budget process, and are managed separately, in line with older DIF guidelines. On June 20, 2023, the City Council authorized the addition of 10 sworn personnel, bringing the total number of sworn officers to 72. This increase in personnel necessitates additional resources, including equipment, lockers, uniforms, and space. Page 59 of 114 Purchase of Lockers for PD April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 2 Police officers are provided with three types of lockers: uniform lockers, patrol lockers, and charging lockers. Uniform lockers are used to store uniforms, vests, boots, and personal items, while patrol lockers are designated for storing officers' daily equipment bags. Charging lockers are specifically designed to charge electronic devices such as body cameras, radios, and flashlights. DISCUSSION: The allocated funds will be used to purchase additional patrol and charging lockers for the Police Department. To maintain consistency in design, we have contacted the same vendors from previous acquisitions. Fasco provided a quote of $13,316 for 24-8" wide by 11 1/4" high charging lockers. Charging lockers are used by both non -sworn and sworn staff. McMurray Stern provided a quote for $41,398 for 24" wide by 24" high patrol lockers. Due to limited availability, patrol lockers are used exclusively by patrol officers. With additional patrol lockers, others on special assignments, like detectives or motor officers, will now have a patrol locker when working patrol duties. The combined total for the charging and patrol lockers is $54,715. As of today, all locker space has been fully utilized, and we have exhausted available capacity in each category. To accommodate the growing number of officers, some personnel with designated offices have been temporarily relocated to make room for new incoming officers. This situation underscores the pressing need for additional storage and workspace to ensure the efficient operation of the department and to provide adequate resources for all personnel.

The Project's scope is to remove and replace the existing two banner poles in this block of Main Street due to confirmed structural stability concerns. The banner poles are used seasonally to promote and bring awareness about various city and non-profit organizational events, helping foster community engagement and city pride. On January 30, 2025, the Public Works Department solicited bids from contractors for the Project. On February 19, 2025, the City Clerk received and opened one from Corner Keystone Construction Corporation: $141,000. Page 61 of 114 Reject all bids for removal and replacement of the existing two Main Street Banner Poles in the 600 block of Main Street, Project No. PW 25-01. April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 2 DISCUSSION: Due to the high cost of the only bid received, City staff respectfully recommend rejecting all bids based on a staff cost estimate of $60,000 for this project. For the completion of the work, the City may directly award a contract for the Project for an amount up to $75,000, pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) § 1-7C-4(A) and California Public Contract Code § 22032(a). Should the ultimate cost exceed $75,000, staff will proceed with informal bidding protocols as authorized under ESMC § 1-7C-4 and California Public Contract Code § 22032(b) to carry out the Project. It is to be noted that currently, there are two banner poles (one on either side of Main Street) for use on the 300 block of Main Street, directly in front of Fire Station #1. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 1: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology Strategy A: Seek opportunities to implement and expedite the projects in the Capital Improvement Program and ensure that City -owned infrastructure is well maintained, including streets, entryways, and facilities.

Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The annual fiscal impact of adopting the recommended salary ranges is dependent on the City's ability to hire staff to work all projected budgeted hours. The total annual maximum fiscal impact is approximately $43,593. The total includes the following: Lifeguard Trainee Program (20 participants) - $235, Lifeguard (79 current employees) - $36,884, Swim Instructor (1 current employee) - $349, and Senior Lifeguard (11 current employees) - $6,125. The projected fiscal impact for the remainder of FY 2024-25 is approximately $10,898, which represents the three months left in the year. This cost can be absorbed within the current Recreation, Parks and Library (RPL) department budget. No additional funding is required for FY 2024-25. BACKGROUND: Salaries for the Lifeguard Trainee, Lifeguard, Swim Instructor, and Senior Lifeguard were last adjusted by Resolution No. 5482 on May 7, 2024. These adjustments included increasing the Lifeguard Trainee to reflect the change in minimum wage and collapsing the remaining positions in the part-time Aquatics classification series to a one-step salary hourly rate. Page 65 of 114 Modifications to Part-time Aquatics Classifications Salary Ranges April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION: The changes to the hourly rates approved by the City Council in 2024 greatly improved the recruitment and retention efforts for the part-time Aquatics positions. Although the City conducts ongoing recruitment for Lifeguards, we are approaching the summer hiring season and will need to remain competitive in the labor market to attract new staff while retaining existing staff. The re -opening of Urho Saari Swim Stadium ("The Plunge") is expected later this year, which will require the City to hire additional Lifeguards to staff all facilities. A salary survey was conducted of established comparison agencies which include Culver City, Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, and Torrance. The current top step salary rate, median, and recommended one-step rate are displayed in the chart below: Position Current Rate Lifeguard Trainee$16.00 Lifeguard $21.00 Swim Instructor $23.16 Senior Lifeguard $25.48 Median Proposed Rate - $16.50 $22.33 $22.00 $23.21 $24.20 $25.00 $26.62 The increase to the Lifeguard Trainee reflects the January 1, 2025 change in minimum wage. Although this classification is not currently being utilized, it may be necessary should the City not be able to fill all positions in anticipation of the re -opening of the Urho Saari Swim Stadium. The proposed rates above include a one dollar per hour increase for the Lifeguard classification while maintaining a ten percent differential between the three classifications. Current staff in these classifications will receive a salary increase in the first full pay period following City Council approval and adoption of the new hourly rates. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 4: Promote and Celebrate a Quality Workforce Through Teamwork and Organizational Excellence Strategy A: Enhance staff recruitment, retention, and training to ensure delivery of unparalleled City services and implementation of City Council policies.

Approve the El Segundo Senior Citizens Housing Corporation Board 2025 Operating Budget for the Park Vista senior housing facility located at 615 East Holly Avenue. 3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: Park Vista senior living facility is owned by the City and managed by a third party, Cadman Group. Provided in the summary breakdown below, the facility generated positive net operating revenue of $850,601.54 in 2024, and is projected to generate positive net operating revenue of $942,782.28 in 2025. The current annual revenue supports operating costs, and therefore, operation of the facility does not impact the City's General Fund. BACKGROUND: The El Segundo Senior Citizens Housing Corporation Board is comprised of five members. The Board meets monthly, providing oversight of the City's Park Vista senior housing facility. The Board's oversight includes monitoring expenses and revenues throughout the year and culminates in an annual operating budget prepared by the Cadman Group, the facility's management company. On October, 23, 2024, the Board considered an annual rental market rate survey, and approved rental rate increases for new, incoming tenants at 60-percent of market rate that took effect on January 1, 2025. Page 70 of 114 Senior Citizens Housing Corporation Board Annual Budget and Report April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 3 On January 22, 2025, the Board approved rental rate increases for existing tenants by the Council -approved 2-percent, which will commence on June 1, 2025. At its regular meeting on January 22, 2025, the El Segundo Senior Citizens Housing Corporation Board approved the 2025 Annual Operating Budget for the Park Vista senior housing apartments. After approval of the budget, it has been the Board's practice to forward the operating budget to City Council for approval. DISCUSSION: The attached operating budget reflects increases in operating expenses for earthquake insurance, elevator service, gardening service, and management fees. Operating income increases resulted from an influx of new tenants subject to the new higher rental rates, as well as the adjustment of rental rates for existing tenants. Other operating income increases are from parking rate increases and from laundry, a result of a new contract with a new laundry provider. The increases result in a positive forecast of $24,957.28 in operating income for 2025. The following table is a summary of income and expenses for 2024, and the amounts budgeted for 2025. 2024 (Budgeted) 2024 (Actual) 2025 (Budget) Operating Income $939,619.97 $850,601.54 $942, 782.28 Operating Expenses $816,475.00 $669,379.10 $917,825.00 Net Operating $123,144.97 $181,222.44 $24,957.28 Income CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Strategy A: Identify opportunities for new revenues, enhancement of existing revenues, and exploration of potential funding options to support programs and projects. Strategy B: Utilize the City's long-term financial plan to make financial decisions that support the goals of the strategic plan.

Approve the El Segundo Cultural Arts Master Plan. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The City of El Segundo ("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 with a construction cost of $2 million or more. Residential development projects are exempt from the CDP. For a development subject to the City's fee, the developer has the option to install artwork onsite equal to 1 % of the project's construction cost or contribute the equivalent to the CDP Cultural Development Fund. Over the past five years, the Cultural Development Program has supported the creation of public art installations, cultural events, and initiatives that have brought new energy to ElSegundo. In 2024, at the request of the City Council, staff began a comprehensive review of the CDP. After several months of research, discussion with Arts and Culture Committee (ACC) members and consultants, the former Cultural Arts Coordinator, Randy Niessen, drafted a Cultural Arts Master Plan. The Plan is designed to establish a clear vision for the City's Cultural Arts Division and provide a strategic roadmap for implementing key initiatives. Staff conducted a thorough analysis of past programs, evaluated current Page 92 of 114 El Segundo Cultural Arts Master Plan April 1, 2025 Page 2 of 4 processes and administrative documents, and examined program models and strategic plans from other municipalities to inform the development of El Segundo's plan. With guidance from a consultant involved in the Recreation, Parks, and Library (RPL) Department's strategic plan, a workshop was held with the ACC. During this session, participants collaboratively drafted a vision, mission, purpose statement, and goals for the Plan. Several additional meetings were conducted with members of the ACC to refine the Plan which was subsequently approved by the ACC. A final draft of the plan has been completed and is now ready for City Council's review and approval. The Plan highlights the need to bridge gaps in arts and culture offerings. Key recommendations include strategies to achieve greater financial stability, foster more effective collaborations with developers, build a City -owned public art collection, and enhance the impact of arts programming. Additionally, the plan offers actionable recommendations to improve the functionality, processes, and outcomes of the Cultural Arts Division. It is important to note that the Cultural Arts Coordinator resigned his position in February 2025 to accept a position with another local municipality. Since that time, the position has been vacant and a recruitment for a replacement has not been initiated. DISCUSSION: The El Segundo Cultural Arts Master Plan reflects the City's commitment to integrating arts and culture into the fabric of civic life. It provides a strategic framework for expanding access to cultural opportunities, supporting artists, enhancing public spaces through public art, and fostering partnerships with organizations and stakeholders who share our vision for a creative and inclusive community. The plan outlines clear goals, priorities, and actionable strategies that align with the City's broader vision for economic development, community engagement, and quality of life. It is grounded in the belief that arts and culture are essential drivers of a strong local economy, vibrant neighborhoods, and personal well-being. Included in the plan are a Vision, Mission and Purpose as follows: Vision: To be an internationally recognized arts destination where creative ideas take off. Mission: The mission of the Cultural Arts Plan is to engage community, civic, business, and artistic partners in providing captivating experiences, programs, and public art that elevate the City of El Segundo. Purpose: The purpose of this Cultural Arts Plan is to create the framework for structuring, prioritizing, and delivering Arts and Culture experiences for the community of El Segundo. The Master Plan establishes four goals: Page 93 of 114 El Segundo Cultural Arts Master Plan April 1, 2025 Page 3 of 4 Goal 1: Cultural Arts is Stable, Sustainable, and Well-Resourced Goal 2: Create a standardized methodology for identifying and implementing Cultural Arts initiatives utilizing the appropriate funding sources Goal 3: Cultural Arts builds a cultural legacy for El Segundo and establishes a reputation as an arts destination Goal 4: Cultural Arts sparks cultural investment in El Segundo In addition to these four goals, the Master Plan identifies several proposed Public Art projects to beautify and enhance public spaces in El Segundo. Among the proposed projects is a public art installation at the Plunge which will feature a mosaic tile mural to be installed within the interior of the aquatic facility along a 788 sgft wall measuring 8 ft 3 in. x 99 ft. The ability to implement the Cultural Arts Master Plan and related objectives will depend on an experienced staff member being hired to do this critical work. Current Recreation, Parks and Library staff cannot effectively absorb these duties nor do they have the subject matter expertise that is necessary to implement a robust public art program. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 3: Deliver Solution -Oriented Customer Service, Communication, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy B: Implement Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives to cultivate representation and opportunities for all the members of the community. Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability 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.

City of El Segundo Cultural Arts Master Plan Executive Summary The City of El Segundo's Cultural Arts Master Plan (hereafter referred to as "the Plan") addresses four key areas for the future of the Cultural Development Program. The Plan outlines multi -year goals, priorities, and actionable strategies that align with the City's broader vision for economic development and community engagement, along with its mission to provide a great place to live, work, and visit. Arts & Culture are essential drivers of a strong local economy, vibrant neighborhoods, and personal well-being. This is evident in their economic impact —contributing $507.4 billion to California's $3.4 trillion economy and generating nearly $980 billion in spending in 2021.1 With the leadership and oversight of the City's Cultural Arts Division and the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee (ACC), the Plan brings greater structure to the creation, sustainability, and accountability of public art and programs. Four Key Areas 1. Building a Sustainable Future for Arts & Culture - The Plan outlines public art installations and programs over the next five years and seeks to establish a reserve fund to ensure sustainability. 2. Creating Awareness and Accountability - Creating greater awareness for the program ensures its long-term viability. This primarily includes collaborating with City staff on marketing efforts such as enhancing the website, expanding social media reach, and boosting event promotion while proving the program's value by tracking content, attendance, audience engagement, and impact. 1 Otis College Report on the Creative Economy 2023, p. 38. Page 96 of 114 3. Boosting Visibility for Cultural Development Fund Partners - Strengthen the City -Business partnership to foster a shared purpose and sense of pride by recognizing the accomplishments of the art installations and programs made possible through corporate participation. 4. Hiring Staff to Ensure Program Stability - An experienced and knowledgeable staff member to oversee the program in collaboration with the City's Cultural Arts Division and the ACC is imperative to the success of the program. From identifying high -caliber artists to partnering with local business leaders, the position requires a skilled professional who can negotiate, identify talent, and execute outstanding programs and art installations. Further strategies for ensuring the sustainability of the position and the program are addressed in the Plan. El Segundo's innovative spirit positions it as a global cultural leader, where creativity and entrepreneurship intersect. By leveraging our proximity to LAX as a cultural gateway to Los Angeles County, the City can attract international recognition. A world -class public art collection, dynamic public programs, and cross-cultural exchanges will further strengthen El Segundo's identity as both a thriving community and a premier destination for creative tourism.2 2 The arts are the fourth largest driver of tourism and influence decisions made when planning travel. Experiences can include brick -and -mortar establishments (e.g., museums and theaters) along with transitory events (e.g., festivals and community projects). They appeal not only to domestic audiences but also to foreign ones, with a significant number traveling specifically to experience new cultures. ww2.Americansforthearts.org. 2 Page 97 of 114 Cultural Arts Master Plan Table of Contents Introduction 2.

Introduction The City of El Segundo is a vibrant and dynamic community that values creativity, innovation, and cultural expression. As we continue to grow and evolve, the arts are becoming a vital force in shaping our identity, enriching our lives, and fostering a sense of place. Recognizing the power of Arts & Culture to transform communities, making them more attractive to residents, businesses, employees, and visitors alike, the ACC has developed this five-year Cultural Arts Master Plan to serve as a roadmap for cultivating a thriving and sustainable cultural environment. The Plan affirms the City's commitment to integrating Arts & Culture into civic life, providing a strategic framework with clear strategies and performance indicators aligned with the City's goal of enhancing community engagement (Goal 3, Strategy A). By expanding cultural access, supporting artists, enriching public spaces with art, and fostering partnerships with businesses and organizations that champion a creative and inclusive community, the Plan advances the City's vision of becoming a global innovation leader Why Now? In 2019, the City of El Segundo adopted the 1 % for Arts Ordinance (Ordinance 1594), establishing a Cultural Development Program aimed at creating public art and cultural initiatives to benefit the community of El Segundo. The ordinance requires that 1% of eligible development project costs be allocated to Arts & Culture, providing a dedicated funding source to enhance the City's cultural identity. Over the past six years, the Cultural Development Program has supported numerous public art installations and cultural events, including the Festival of Holidays, the Poet Laureate program, Visual Artists in Community initiatives, and collaborations with El Segundo schools, all of which have brought new energy to the City. The Plan comes at a pivotal time for the City. It builds upon the successes of the past six years while addressing challenges and optimizing future opportunities. By showcasing the impact of the 1 % for Arts Ordinance and leveraging its potential to foster business connections and community engagement as outlined in the City's Strategic Plan (Goal 5, Strategy C) to attract, retain, and grow businesses —El Segundo is poised to strengthen its role as a regional leader in Arts & Culture. The Plan sets forth a strategic vision to expand cultural programming, foster creative partnerships, and elevate the role of the arts in enhancing community identity and economic vitality. 2. Economic Impact of Arts & Culture Arts & Culture are a proven economic engine, driving investment, increasing property values, attracting businesses, and generating revenue through tourism and local spending. Strategic 0 Page 99 of 114 investments in cultural programming and public art have demonstrated their ability to transform communities into vibrant economic hubs. Arts & Culture: Driving Economic Growth & Business Attraction Research has shown that cities that integrate public art and cultural initiatives experience measurable economic benefits3, including: - Increased foot traffic in commercial districts, benefiting local businesses and restaurants. - Higher property values and greater desirability for new developments. - Enhanced tourism revenue driven by cultural attractions and events. - Expanded tax revenue, as spending in arts -related districts leads to growth in sales and property taxes. - Strengthened local business ecosystem, as arts -related industries stimulate creative entrepreneurship and small business growth. Beyond direct economic contributions, a robust Arts & Culture scene is a critical factor in attracting and retaining businesses. Studies have shown that corporations prioritize cities with a strong cultural identity and cultural amenities when choosing office locations, as these areas are more desirable to employees.4 The Plan aims to harness these benefits, creating a vibrant and economically dynamic cultural landscape consistent with the City's Strategic Plan for ensuring that City -owned infrastructure is well maintained, including streets, entryways, and facilities (Goal 1, Strategy A). Arts & Culture as Economic Catalyst: Lessons from Leading Cities - Santa Monica's Bergamot Station o Transformed a former industrial site into a thriving arts district. o Attracts over 100,000 visitors annually, significantly increasing foot traffic for surrounding businesses. o Has become a model for integrating cultural spaces into economic development. Culver City's Arts District Revitalization o Helped attract major employers such as Amazon Studios and HBO. o Boosted real estate development and increased property values in the surrounding area. o Demonstrates how a strong arts identity can make a city more attractive to creative and technology industries. City of Manhattan Beach's Creative Hub for Film, Art, & Community o Manhattan Beach Studios has established itself as a rising film and media production hub, drawing major productions such as The Mandalorian and Avatar: The Way of Water. 3 Salvesen, David, and Henry Renski.

Available here. 5 Page 100 of 114 o The presence of high -profile productions has increased local business revenue through accommodations, dining, and retail spending from production crews and visitors. o The Manhattan Beach Art Center supports the local creative economy by attracting visitors, increasing foot traffic, and providing a platform for emerging and established artists. o The City's cultural programming enhances the City's appeal as an arts destination, contributing to long-term economic and community growth. Successes such as these reflect broader regional trends, where investment in creative industries has positioned our area as a leader in both entertainment and digital media. El Segundo has already taken steps in this direction, demonstrating the potential of arts -driven innovation. In August 2023, the City partnered with the El Segundo Art Walk and Snap Inc. to launch the El Segundo AR initiative, integrating augmented reality (AR) to enhance public art. Featuring eleven interactive pieces accessible via Snapchat, this project highlights El Segundo's commitment to creativity and technology. By leveraging AR, the initiative not only enriches public spaces but also positions the city as a forward -thinking hub for digital and creative industries, attracting businesses and fostering economic growth To remain competitive and fully capture the economic benefits of Arts & Culture, the City of El Segundo must continue investing in creative initiatives or risk being left behind as other cities seize these opportunities. 3. Focusing on Art & Culture in E1 Segundo Access to Arts and Culture Access to Arts & Culture is a cornerstone of a thriving community.5 In El Segundo, ensuring residents of all ages and backgrounds can participate in and benefit from cultural activities is a top priority. Over the past few years, El Segundo has experienced an exodus of cultural institutions that have been pillars in the City's cultural landscape. ESMoA, a critically -acclaimed contemporary art space that focused on community engagement, left El Segundo to operate in satellite spaces outside of the City. The American Youth Symphony and the Zimmerman Automobile Driving Museum have both closed their doors permanently. Since El Segundo already had a limited offering of cultural spaces, these losses are especially devastating to the community. 5 72% of Americans believe "the arts unify our communities regardless of age, race, and ethnicity" and 73% agree that the arts "helps me understand other cultures better" —a perspective observed across all demographic and economic categories. Arts Action Fund.org. 2023. M Page 101 of 114 Investment in Community Investing in the community through the arts strengthens social bonds and enhances quality of life. By prioritizing creative investment and community -led initiatives, the City can build a cultural legacy while fostering a sense of ownership and pride among residents.6 Capacity of the Arts Sector A robust arts sector requires strong infrastructure and leadership. Strengthening resources and staffing for the Cultural Arts Division will enhance the City of El Segundo's capacity to appropriately interface business partners and attract arts organizations, practitioners, and creative -minded companies and organizations. Following the growing success of the El Segundo Art Walk, the Cultural Arts Division can establish additional partnerships that will draw audiences and increase tourism benefiting local restaurants, merchants, and entrepreneurs. Commitment to Sustainability of the Arts Sustainability is critical to the success of El Segundo's cultural initiatives. Currently, the Cultural Arts Division's only source of revenue is the 1 % for the Arts fees collected through the Cultural Development Program. Because this funding is tied to private development —and businesses have the option to produce public art on site instead of contributing the full amount to the Cultural Development Fund —it does not provide a consistently stable revenue source for the Division's long-term operations. To ensure sustainability, the City should explore diverse income sources and long-term partnerships in addition to using the 1% for the Arts fees as a revenue source. Embedding strategies for continuous improvement in arts planning and execution will fortify the program's longevity and resilience. 4. Goals of the Cultural Arts Master Plan Goal 1: Establish a Lasting Cultural Legacy for El Segundo and Position the City as a Premier Arts Destination Key Indicator of Success: El Segundo receives regular press highlighting the City's Cultural Development Program along with data demonstrating its capacity for enhancing tourism. - Objective A: Cultivate a best -practice public art collection that features local and international artists while positioning El Segundo as a premier cultural destination. 6 "City leaders across the nation are seeking to revitalize and grow their cities into vibrant communities — and the Arts are part of a larger set of tools to accomplish that goal. For example, many citizens — especially from younger generations — often place a premium on the ability to live and work in the same (walkable) area. "National League of Cities. June 9, 2017. nlc.org 7 Page 102 of 114 - Objective B: Invest in impactful programming that promotes Arts & Culture and engages the community. - Objective C: Ensure Cultural Arts initiatives are culturally relevant to El Segundo, promote diversity and inclusion, and offer equitable opportunities for artists reflecting Goal 3, Strategy B of the City's Strategic Plan. Goal 2: Arts & Culture Spark Investment in El Segundo Key Indicator of Success: Data demonstrates Cultural Development Program as a motivator for operating in or partnering with the City of El Segundo. - Objective A: Leverage the City's Arts & Culture initiatives to attract businesses and organizations to operate in El Segundo. - Objective B: Build partnerships with other arts organizations locally and nationally to support new and diverse programming for El Segundo. Goal 3: Arts & Culture is Stable, Fiscally Sustainable, and Well-Resourced Key Indicator of Success: Cultural Arts has the resources to operate without interruption and consistently deliver impactful initiatives every year. - Objective A: Establish a collective understanding among the City Council and City Executive Team related to the purpose of the Cultural Development Fund and the Administrative Guidelines that govern its use and stewardship. Objective B: Establish a Cultural Arts Reserve Fund to support the division during economic downturns and unforeseen circumstances. Objective C: Create a process for ensuring the retention of the Cultural Arts Coordinator in accordance with the City's Strategic Plan Goal 4, Strategy A for the recruitment and retention of top-quality staff. In addition, explore possibilities for funding the Cultural Arts Coordinator through the General Fund. Retaining an experienced and well -qualified Cultural Arts Coordinator also addresses Goal 3, Strategy A of the City's Strategic Plan: to "deliver unparalleled City Services." Goal 4: Develop a Standardized Approach to Identify and Fund Arts & Culture Initiatives Key Indicator of Success: El Segundo becomes recognized for the breadth and quality of its programs and public art. - Objective A: Amend Ordinance 1594 to clarify roles, definitions, and processes, minimizing varying interpretations that impact enforcement and execution. - Objective B: Establish a process for the City to collaborate with the ACC on the use of Cultural Development Funds for City -led initiatives to ensure best outcomes. .11 Page 103 of 114 - Objective C: Better integrate Cultural Arts programming into the City's communications and PR strategies to highlight programs, artworks, and the contributions of businesses that support or create site -specific art, aligned with Goal 3, Strategy A of the City's Strategic Plan to educate and inform the Public about City programs. 5. Optimizing the 1 % for the Arts Fund El Segundo's 1% for Arts Ordinance (Ordinance 1594) serves as a cornerstone for fostering collaboration between the City and private developers. By leveraging private investments, the ordinance ensures Arts & Culture are integrated into the City's growth and development, enhancing El Segundo's image as a pro -business City that provides a quality of life attractive to businesses, employees, and visitors. Since its adoption in 2019, Ordinance 1594 has provided a funding stream to support a wide array of cultural initiatives, from public art installations to community events to various capital improvement projects. Developers have embraced the opportunity to leave a lasting cultural legacy in El Segundo, working alongside the Cultural Arts Division to create projects that reflect the City's unique character and values. The ordinance has not only enhanced the visual landscape of El Segundo but has also strengthened the partnership between the public and private sectors, fostering a shared commitment to cultural enrichment. Under the Plan, the Cultural Development Fund is a strategic investment that benefits both developers and the City. It serves as a flexible tool that empowers developers to contribute to El Segundo's cultural and economic vitality while supporting their business objectives. To maximize the impact of Ordinance 1594, the City needs to create a strategy that incentivizes developers to contribute to the Cultural Development Fund rather than installing on -site public art. The City has made progress towards this goal by recently amending the Ordinance 1594 to allow developers to divide their contribution between art on site and by paying into the fund. The ordinance could be further amended allowing for individuals, small businesses, corporations, and other organizations to have the ability to voluntarily contribute to the fund. By directing funds into the Cultural Development Fund, the City can allocate resources more strategically, ensuring projects align with broader cultural goals and community needs. 7 The Arts & Culture sector can have a larger impact on your city's economy (in terms of GDP) than other industries like tourism and transportation — but city leaders often don't recognize the economic value and impact of the arts in their community. " National League of Cities, June 9, 2017, nic.org. 0 Page 104 of 114 Additionally, this approach can add greater stability to program staffing, which serves Goal 4, Strategy A of the City's Strategic Plan of retaining the best staff. Objectives and Key Indicators of this Incentive Strategy: - Streamlined Approval Process: Offering developers a more efficient and expedited approval process when they opt to pay the 1 % fee in -lieu to the Cultural Development Fund and implement a payment process that will allow for less up -front costs to developers. This reduces the complexity and time required for planning and executing on -site art projects while providing more flexibility in financing for the company. Recognition and Branding Opportunities: Providing public recognition for developers who contribute to the Cultural Development Fund, including naming opportunities for major projects or events, press releases, ribbon cutting ceremonies, recognition at City Council meetings, and features in City communications. Acknowledgement of the developers who contribute to the Cultural Development Fund will be featured on the Cultural Arts webpage. - Reporting and Accountability: Creating a yearly Cultural Development Fund revenue, expenditure, and impact report. The report will include payments into the fund, expenditures for public art and programs, and the benefits to businesses, residents, and visitors by capturing attendance, website views, social media impressions, and survey feedback. - Collaborative Vision: Engaging developers in the broader vision for cultural development through regular forums, planning sessions, and partnerships that align their investments with the City's cultural objectives. Develop campaigns for social media that profile partnering developers, highlighting their commitment to Arts & Culture in El Segundo. 6. Partnerships & Community Support Strong partnerships and community support form the backbone of a thriving cultural landscape. Collaboration among the City, local organizations, businesses, and residents has driven the success of past initiatives. By optimizing these partnerships, El Segundo can amplify its cultural impact and ensure Arts & Culture remain an integral aspect of civic life. This section outlines strategies to cultivate and strengthen these vital connections. Current and Future Partnership Initiatives El Segundo Art Walk A hallmark event, the El Segundo Art Walk (ESAW) continues to grow in attendance and impact. 10 Page 105 of 114 - Objective A: While the Cultural Development Fund currently provides most of the funding, transitioning to a more balanced partnership model will ensure sustainability and alignment with divisional objectives. - Objective B: Enhance the quality of the art component of the ESAW event and use it to highlight business -funded art installations. - Objective C: Partner with local businesses to identify ways in which the ESAW can further benefit them and their customers. - Objective D: Provide key indicators of success in terms of attendance, revenue, and social impact and disseminate this information to stakeholders and residents.

Objective B: Use the festival as a platform to drive awareness, attendance, and financial support for local institutions like the Old Town Music Hall, helping to ensure their long- term sustainability.

Objective C: Document outcomes including expenditures, attendance, audience demographics, and social impact. 7. Recommendations The Cultural Arts Plan establishes a foundation for sustainable, impactful community engagement while reinforcing El Segundo's identity as a business -friendly city. 11 Page 106 of 114 The Plan recognizes the untapped economic and social potential of Arts & Culture initiatives to benefit businesses, employees, residents, and visitors alike. By strategically integrating arts - driven programs into the City's long-term vision, El Segundo can enhance quality of life, stimulate economic growth, and position itself as a premier destination for creativity and innovation. Policy & Program Recommendations With a clear strategy in place, the following recommendations outline the key actions needed to ensure the successful implementation and long-term sustainability of this vision: 1.

Expand and enhance communication through website, social media, and City communications to better inform residents, employees, and visitors regarding programs and initiatives through the Culture Development Fund. 4. Develop key performance indicators for measuring program outcomes, including impact on property values, retail spending, and ability to attract top -tier companies. 5.
