Pursuant to Section 37208 of the California Government Code, warrants drawn in payments of demands are certified by the City's Chief Financial Officer and City Manager as conforming to the authorized expenditures set forth in the City Council adopted budget need not be audited by the City Council prior to payment, but may be presented to the City Council at the first meeting after delivery. In government finance, a warrant is a written order to pay that instructs a federal, state, county, or city government treasurer to pay the warrant holder on demand or after a specific date. Such warrants look like checks and clear through the banking system like Page 18 of 116 Warrant Demand Register June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 2 checks. Warrants are issued for payroll to individual employees, accounts payable to 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.

Page 38 of 116 Ongoing Agreements and Blanket POs June 17, 2025 Page 5 of 7 HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT #1 - Temporary Staffing Professionals The City entered into a professional services agreement with Temporary Staffing Professionals in April 2024 for on -call temporary staffing services for use by all City departments under agreement 6904. This agreement provides staffing to meet the short-term operational needs of various departments in the following scenarios: where a permanent position is frozen for a specific length of time to provide budgetary savings, while a recruitment is conducted, during an employee's leave of absence, or when extra help is necessary (i.e. during the implementation of the City's new EERP). For FY 2025- 26, staff recommend awarding an amendment to the professional service agreement with Temporary Staffing Professionals to provide on -call temporary staffing services needed by various City departments for an amount not to exceed $500,000. Account number: Various INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES DEPARTMENT #12 - Crowdstrike Inc. It is essential for the City to keep our systems safe as there is a constant threat of cybersecurity attacks.

Account number: 001-400-2505-6217 (General Fund) PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT #11 - Metron Farnier - Water Meters The City's water distribution system includes over 4,000 water meters. In an effort to improve water system management and eliminate water loss, the City implemented an Automatic Meter Readers (AMR) Conversion program in FY 2016-17. The program consisted of three phases in which antiquated analog water meters were replaced with new AMRs. Over the past several years, the Water division has installed new AMR meters throughout the commercial and residential sectors of the City. While the City's AMR meter conversion is complete, the water division is continuously replacing aging meters with new AMR meters as part of their maintenance efforts. The cost to replace each meter ranges from $250 to $5,000, dependent upon size. Due to the need to continuously replace failing and aging water meters, staff recommends continuing to purchase meters from Metron Farnier, the vendor chosen previously for the AMR meters, for an amount not to exceed $100,000 for FY 2025-26. Account numbers: 501-400-7103-8655 / 502-400-8204-8655 ($50,000 Water Enterprise Fund / $50,000 Wastewater Enterprise Fund). Page 39 of 116 Ongoing Agreements and Blanket POs June 17, 2025 Page 6 of 7 #3 - Fuel for City Vehicles and Equipment Generally, fuel is purchased either through spot market purchases or long-term contracts. Spot purchasing consists of shopping around each time fuel is needed and purchasing fuel from the lowest -priced vendor. This type of purchasing usually occurs when the fuel market is volatile, as it has been for the last few years. During periods of stability, agencies enter into long-term fuel contracts. Pricing under long-term contact is tied to a published fuel price baseline plus a markup. The volatility in the market has forced vendors to significantly raise this markup, making long-term contracts unattractive. Under the City's last long-term contract through Los Angeles Metropolitan Public Purchasing Agents' Cooperative (LAMPPAC), there was virtually no markup. When that contract expired in September 2005, the fuel market was quite volatile and City Council authorized staff to purchase gasoline and diesel fuel through the use of spot market purchases. Many agencies, including the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Hawthorne, have opted to purchase fuel through spot purchases in lieu of entering into long-term contracts since the expiration of the LAMPPAC contract. Staff continuously monitors long-term contracts available in the industry. The City included $254,000 in the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget in the following accounts: 001-400-4601-5215 109-400-3105-5215 112-400-5292-5215 501-400-7102-5215 502-400-4301-5215 General Fund $190,000 Police - Asset Forfeiture Fund$ 13,000 Prop "A" Fund $ 30,000 Water Enterprise Fund $ 12,500 Wastewater Enterprise Fund $ 9,000 Total $254,500 #5 - Charles Abbott Associates Inc. Charles Abbott Associates Inc. has been providing solid waste and recycling compliance support services for Public Works Department on an annual basis since 2020. For FY 2025-26, staff recommends amending the professional service agreement with Charles Abbott Associates Inc. to continue to provide solid waste and recycling compliance support services needed by the Public Works Department for an amount not to exceed $175,000. Account number: 001-400-4206-6206 (General Fund) #6 - Waterline Technologies, Inc. Over the past six years, Waterline Technologies, Inc. has accommodated the City with respect to its needs regarding chemical deliveries for the City's pools. In addition to providing competitive pricing, quality products, and in -stock inventory, Waterline Technologies, Inc. is the only vendor in the area that can cover most delivery requests the very next day. Attempts to solicit these same services from other vendors have been unsuccessful as the vendors either do not carry the chemicals needed, have long delivery delays, or are not interested in providing services for the City. For FY 2025-26, Page 40 of 116 Ongoing Agreements and Blanket POs June 17, 2025 Page 7 of 7 staff recommends amending the agreement with Waterline Technologies, Inc. to continue to provide the pool chemical services needed to maintain the City's aquatic facilities for an amount not to exceed $150,000.

The staff are proposing amending contracts with Swoop and Lyft in the amount of $299,750 to continue transportation programs. The remaining balance of Prop A Funds will be held for other transportation -related expenses and future transportation services to be planned by staff in coordination with the Transportation Subcommittee of the Recreation and Parks Commission. Amount Budgeted: $120,000 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): 112-400-5292-6206 (Prop A: Dial -A -Ride Services) Amount Budgeted: $123,250 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): 112-400-5293-6206 (Prop A- Shuttle Services) Amount Budgeted: $56,500 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): 112-400-5294-6216 (Prop A: Recreation Trips) BACKGROUND: The Recreation, Parks, and Library Department offered a variety of transportation services to residents during Fiscal Year 2024-25 through contract services with Swoop, Inc. ("Swoop") and Lyft, Inc. ("Lyft"). These services include the Beach Shuttle program, excursions, Lyft services, and event shuttle services. Rereation, Parks, and Library staff are proposing the continuation of all of these services with a few adjustments to meet the programming needs of the department. Beach Shuttle Program The City of El Segundo began offering the Beach Shuttle in June 1985. Historically, these services were conducted using a City -owned shuttle and City -employed drivers. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department has been contracting vendors to provide these services due to challenges in hiring and retaining qualified drivers, age of vehicles, replacement and maintenance costs. The Beach Shuttle operates during summer break, transporting residents from various locations around town to El Porto beach. The hours for the fixed route shuttle service is from 11:00am to 4:30pm Monday through Saturday. Starting Summer 2025, Swoop will start at 10:30am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to add a pick-up from Joslyn Page 44 of 116 Amendments to Agreements with Swoop, Inc. and Lyft, Inc. June 17, 2025 Page 3 of 4 Center Parking lot to El Porto Beach for the Striders walking program. Excursion Services The Day Trippers is a once -a -month program that began in 2018. The program takes seniors to various sites throughout Los Angeles County. These locations include museums, historical landmarks, and other entertainment locations. Throughout Fiscal Year 2024-25 some excursion sites included LA County Arboretum, Getty Villa, Griffith Observatory, Descanso Gardens, Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens, Peterson Automotive Museum, and so much more. The Cultural Arts Coordinator also takes Adult Residents on a cultural excursion once per season. El Segundo Unified School District Programming Since 2024, City staff have provided transportation assistance to the El Segundo Unified School District. In 2024 and 2025, the City has shuttled Fifth Grade classes from Richmond Street School to their end -of -school year picnic at Chevron Park. In addition, during FY 2024-25 Richmond Street School sent their fourth graders to Olvera Street utilizing Prop A funds in collaboration with the Cultural Arts Division. Dial -A -Ride Services In October 2021, the Council voted to approve a contracted program with Lyft for transportation services for seniors and disabled residents. Dr. Dial -A -Ride services include transportation to and from medical appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:OOam to 4:OOpm. Dr. Dial -A -Ride riders are subsidized up to $20 per ride. Dial -A - Ride services include door-to-door transportation to in -town destinations and Trader Joe's in Manhattan Beach. Riders are subsidized for Dial -A -Ride services, up to $15 per ride. Eligible riders can call and reserve rides up to 7 days in advance or reserve rides via the Lyft mobile app. Since the onset of the program, this program has been rapidly growing. For Fiscal Year 2024-25, the Recreation, Parks, and Library Department budgeted $85,000. As the program grows in users and trips, we have found a need to encumber for funds for this Fiscal Year. We are requesting an additional $28,000 to cover incoming bills for April - June. Event Shuttle Services The Recreation, Parks, and Library Department also assists residents with transportation to and from City activities, programs, and services. Examples of this include shuttles to and from Candy Cane Lane and Public Art tours. To support these efforts, Recreation, Parks, and Library staff is requesting $22,000 in funding to accommodate needs for Fiscal Year 25/26. DISCUSSION: The current transportation contracts with Swoop and Lyft expire on June 30, 2025. Due to an increase in ridership, the Recreation, Parks, and Library Department is requesting: Page 45 of 116 Amendments to Agreements with Swoop, Inc. and Lyft, Inc. June 17, 2025 Page 4 of 4 A third amendment to the City's agreement with Swoop for $179,750 for various shuttle and day trip operations for FY 2025-26; and A third amendment to the City's agreement with Lyft for an additional $28,000 for Dial -A -Ride and Dr. Dial -A -Ride services for FY 2024-25 (increasing the fiscal year total to $113,000) and $120,000 for Dial -A -Ride and Dr. Dial -A -Ride services for FY 2025-26. Since El Segundo will receive an estimated $438,817 of Prop A funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26, $139,067 will remain in the fund balance to reimburse administrative costs and to fund other transportation programs and services. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 1: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology Strategy C: Maintain an innovative General Plan to ensure responsible growth while preserving El Segundo's quality of life and small-town character. Strategy D: Improve mobility and transportation throughout the City. Goal 3: Deliver Solution -Oriented Customer Service, Communication, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy A: Enhance proactive community engagement program to educate and inform the public about City services, programs, and issues. Strategy B: Implement Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives to cultivate representation and opportunities for all the members of the community.

The Recreation, Parks, and Library Department offers a variety of contract instructor -led programs to participants throughout the year. These services include fitness, art, enrichment, dance, sports, and child care to all ages. Staff is proposing the continuation of the current programs listed below with an adjustment to the contract not to exceed amount in order to meet the programming needs of our community. Champ Camp, LLC In March 2018, Recreation, Parks, and Library entered into an Instructor Service Agreement with Champ Camp, LLC to teach youth classes and camps. Champ Camp has lead year-round skate classes and camps at the El Segundo Skate Park. During the summer months and during school breaks, Champ Camp offers camps at Recreation Park and El Segundo Beach. Champ Camp receives 70% of the resident rate for all class and camp registrations. Recreation, Parks, and Library is requesting an amendment to Contract 7258 during FY 2025-26 for a not to exceed amount of $150,000. Payments will be split between account numbers: 001-400-5203-6214 and 001-400-5205-6214. Naomi Gol In January 2024, Recreation, Parks, and Library entered into an Instructor Service Agreement with Naomi Gol to teach water fitness classes. Naomi Gol has led year- round water fitness courses and events at the City of El Segundo Wiseburn Unified School District Aquatics Center. Water fitness classes are offered multiple times a day, Monday through Friday. Naomi Gol receives 70% of the resident rate for all class and camp registrations. Recreation, Parks, and Library is requesting an amendment to Contract 7217 during FY 2025-26 for a not to exceed amount of $55,000. Account number: 001-400-5213-6214. Leah Turano DBA Family Wellness Studio In January 2024, Recreation, Parks, and Library entered into an Instructor Service Agreement with Leah Turano dba Family Wellness Studio, to instruct youth and adult classes, programs, camps, and events. During the 2024-2025 School Year, Family Wellness provided after -school care at the George E. Gordon Clubhouse. Family Page 48 of 116 Amendments to Instructor Agreements over $50,000 June 17, 2025 Page 3 of 4 Wellness is also contracted to teach yoga, sound bath experiences, mindfulness, music, and enrichment programs. Leah Turano dba Family Wellness Studio receives 70% of the resident rate for all class and camp registrations. Recreation, Parks, and Library is requesting an amendment to Contract 7222 during FY 2025-26 for a not to exceed amount of $100,000. Account number: 001-400-5203-6214. DISCUSSION: The current Instructor Agreements with Champ Camp, Naomi Gol, and Leah Turano DBA Family Wellness Studio have a not -to -exceed compensation amount of $50,000. The Recreation, Parks, and Library Department is requesting the City Council authorize the extension of the contracts to exceed that $50,000 limit for the 2025-26 Fiscal Year. All course registrations are reflected in the division's revenue account and paid out of the division's expenditure account for professional and technical services. For every registration, the contracted instructor receives seventy percent (70%) of the resident rate for their class or camp. Recreation, Parks, and Library staff are proposing increased amounts to the current contract programs in order to meet the programming needs of our community. Staff recommends that the City Council find that each of the subject instructors provides unique services justifying a waiver of competitive bidding and sole source engagement, pursuant to ESMC § 1-7-9. This would allow the continued engagement of the instructors without a disruption of service.

Approve the one-year renewal of the cost -sharing agreement with the City of Redondo Beach on behalf of Beach Cities Transit for the operation of Transit Line 109 for FY 2025-26. 2. Authorize the City's expenditure of $60,132 as El Segundo's contribution in operating funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26 in support of the Beach Cities Transit Line 109 service. 3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney. 4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed agreement with the City of Redondo Beach requires the City of El Segundo to contribute $60,132 in operating funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26 in support of the Beach Cities Transit (BCT) Line 109 service. This amount has been included in the City's adopted FY 2025-26 budget under the Transportation Services line item. El Segundo's financial obligations are limited to operational costs only. In the event of a funding shortfall, El Segundo's contribution will be recalculated based solely on the proportion of BCT Line 109 mileage that falls within El Segundo's city boundaries. The calculation of such a shortfall will be based on prior years' service hours, fuel costs with an estimated CPI adjustment, and expenses related to Real Time Information (RTI) systems. Revenues considered in this calculation include fare revenues and LACMTA funding from the previous fiscal year. Page 51 of 116 One-year Renewal of Beach Cities Transit Line 109 Regional Operation Agreement FY 2025-26 June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 4 BACKGROUND: Since August 2006, Beach Cities Transit ("BCT") has operated Line 109 from Redondo Beach to the LAX Transit Center, passing through the cities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and El Segundo. In July 2006, these South Bay communities came together to collectively fund a portion of the operating costs for a new BCT Line (designated Line 109) to provide bus services in lieu of the discontinued Metropolitan Transportation Authority's ("Metro") Line 439. Line 109 encompasses northbound and southbound stops with nearly 40% of the route within El Segundo city limits. Major designations on Line 109 include the LAX City Bus Center, the Aviation Green Line Station, the Douglas Green Line Station, downtown Manhattan Beach, Manhattan Village Mall, downtown El Segundo, Plaza El Segundo, The Point, the Hermosa Beach Pier, the Redondo Beach Pier, and Riviera Village. BCT, a community -based transit system operated by the City of Redondo Beach, is designated as an "included operator" in Los Angeles County. As such, BCT is eligible to receive funding from Metro to partially fund local transit operating expenses. The four participating cities proportionally share any remaining costs (based on route miles within each jurisdiction) for the annual operations of the service. The City of El Segundo's contribution is paid for by Proposition A Funds, an allocation from Los Angeles County designated to support public transportation. For the past three years, the City of Redondo Beach has successfully operated Beach Cities Transit (BCT) Line 109 without financial contributions from the partner cities of E Segundo, Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa Beach. This has been made possible through increased dedicated transit funding from Los Angeles County and other operational funding sources. Additionally, federal transit relief funds will allow Redondo Beach to operate BCT without city contributions through Fiscal Year 2024-25. Under the prior agreement, in the event external funding was not sufficient, the City of El Segundo's maximum contribution was capped at $50,000. Looking ahead, the City of Redondo Beach is proposing a one-year agreement with the City of El Segundo for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to continue participation in the BCT Line 109 service to continue to operate the transit service and serve the South Bay residents, businesses, and employers. The City of Redondo Beach will continue to operate the line at service levels equal to or greater than those currently provided. Should any service reductions exceeding 10% be considered, such changes will be discussed with El Segundo in advance. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, the City of Redondo Beach will oversee all aspects of daily operations, including contracting with a qualified transit provider, maintaining the vehicles, and securing appropriate insurance coverage. El Segundo's share of the FY 2025-26 operating costs is $60,132, which reflects the portion of the Page 52 of 116 One-year Renewal of Beach Cities Transit Line 109 Regional Operation Agreement FY 2025-26 June 17, 2025 Page 3 of 4 Line 109 route that lies within El Segundo's boundaries. This amount is limited strictly to operating expenses and does not include capital or equipment costs. All fare revenue collected from passengers will remain with the City of Redondo Beach to offset operational expenses. Redondo Beach will also lead all marketing and rider communication activities. El Segundo may choose to supplement these efforts at its own expense and must receive written approval for any use of the BCT name or logo. If a funding shortfall arises in the future, defined as operating costs exceeding fare and grant revenues, El Segundo's additional contribution will be based only on the share of the route that runs through the City. This ensures that El Segundo's responsibility is proportional and equitable. The City of Redondo Beach requests that the City of El Segundo approve the one-year agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to continue Line 109 service through June 30, 2026. The cities of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach are also expected to renew their participation. Any decisions regarding renewal beyond June 2026 may be addressed later. 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. 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. 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.

The department will utilize savings within the current budget for this amendment. Furthermore, there is no net fiscal impact due to 100% cost recovery from the revenues collected through fire prevention plan check fees. BACKGROUND: Willdan Engineering (Willdan) provides fire prevention plan check services to the City of El Segundo. Fire prevention plan check service fees paid to this vendor are fully recovered by the City via fire plan check and inspection fees in the adopted FY 2024-25 Master Fee Schedule (FR-001 through FR-003M, FR-004A, FR-009, and FR-013). High demand for fire prevention plan check services has created the need to increase the total fiscal year sum for fire plan check services. Page 65 of 116 Agreement Amendment with Willdan Engineering for Fire Plan Check Services June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 2 DISCUSSION: All fire plan check service fees paid to Willdan are recovered by the City via fire plan check and inspection fees in the adopted FY 2024-25 Master Fee Schedule (FR-001 through FR-003M, FR-004A, FR-009, and FR-013). Due to a recent surge in tenant improvements and new construction, staff recommend increasing the contract amount with Willdan by $40,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $360,000 for FY 2024-25. The increase will allow the department to keep up with the high demand for plan check services. There is no impact to the General Fund, as budget savings will be utilized for the amendment in lieu of an additional budget appropriation. Furthermore, there is no net fiscal impact due to 100% cost recovery from the revenues collected through fire prevention plan check fees.

Approve an amendment to Agreement No. 2772 with Wittman Enterprises to increase the not -to -exceed amount by $10,000 for a total amount of $95,000 for fiscal year 2024-25 for distribution of City notices of privacy practices and ambulance transport billing and collection services. 2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the professional services agreement amendment. 3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: Included in the FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget Amount Budgeted: $85,000 Additional Appropriation: $0 Account Number(s): 001-400-3203-6214 No budget appropriation is needed at this time. The department will utilize savings within the current budget for this amendment. Furthermore, there is no net fiscal impact due to 100% cost recovery from the revenues collected through emergency transport billing services. BACKGROUND: The City utilizes Wittman Enterprises, LLC (Wittman) to distribute the City's legally - required notice of privacy practices, and to provide ambulance transport billing and collection services. Such distribution of the practices includes processing and mailing notices to patients transported by ambulance in accordance with The Healthcare Page 67 of 116 Agreement Amendment with Wittman Enterprises for Ambulance Transport Billing Services June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 3 Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The fee for distributed notices is approximately $1.25 per mailed notice (pass -through cost only). Ambulance transport billing and collection services include invoice processing for all medical transport services. Ambulance transport billing fees are invoiced to the City at 6.5% of net collections. An increase in call volume has created the need to increase the total fiscal year sum for ambulance transport billing and collection services. DISCUSSION: An increase in call volume from fiscal year 2024-25 to the current fiscal year has created the need to increase the not -to -exceed amount with Wittman for ambulance transport and collection services. Fiscal Year 24-25 closed with a total of 982 transports, while the department has received 1158 calls as of June 5, 2025. The increase of 176 transports to date, with more calls to come before month end, has created the need to amend the agreement for transport billing services. Based on excellent services delivered to the City, and the high demand for ambulance transport billing, staff recommend increasing the not -to -exceed sum with Wittman by $10,000, for a total sum of $95,000 for fiscal year 2024-25 for distribution of city notices of privacy practices and transport billing and collection services. There is no impact to the General Fund, as budget savings will be utilized for the amendment in lieu of an additional budget appropriation. Furthermore, there is no net fiscal impact due to 100% cost recovery from the revenues collected through emergency transport billing services.

Introduce and waive the first reading of an Ordinance to adopt an engineering and traffic survey, amend El Segundo Municipal Code § 8-4-3 to maintain associated citywide speed limits, and find that the actions are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3). 2. Schedule the Ordinance's second reading for the July 1, 2025 regular City Council meeting or as soon thereafter may be heard. 3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The majority of drivers (85%) typically travel at roadway speeds which seem reasonable, given prevailing driving conditions. Speed regulations seen as unreasonable, may be disregarded by the majority of motorists. Therefore, a "reasonable" speed limit is one that conforms to the actual driving behavior of the majority of drivers. The purpose of controlling speed limits by signage and enforcement is to restrict the top 15% of drivers who exceed the reasonable and prudent speed. Reasonable speed limits provide law enforcement officers with a means to regulate these drivers who will not conform to the driving speed that the majority of drivers find reasonable and prudent. Page 73 of 116 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Zoning June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 3 Under California Vehicle Code § 40802, the City conducts an engineering and traffic survey of its roadways and adopts the survey every seven years in order to accomplish the following: 1. Set prima facie speed limits that determine reasonable and prudent speed limits under optimum conditions. 2. Enable the El Segundo Police Department (ESPD) to utilize radar or other electronic devices for measuring the speeds of moving vehicles. 3. Enable the ESPD to issue citations to drivers of vehicles exceeding the posted speed limits, based on the readings of the measuring devices. Vehicle Code § 22357 allows cities, via ordinance, to adopt speed limits greater than the prima facie, recommended speed limit of 25 miles per hour (MPH) on certain streets if the greater speed limits were found to facilitate the safe and orderly movement of traffic. DISCUSSION: The City Council last adopted an engineering and traffic survey in 2019 and adopted Ordinance No. 1611 to amend ESMC § 8-4-3 to declare a prima facie or maximum speed limit greater than 25 miles per hour on certain streets. Pursuant to Vehicle Code § 40802, the Public Works Department engaged Richard Garland and Associates, Inc., the City's on -call traffic engineer ("Traffic Engineer"), to conduct an updated 2025 engineering and traffic survey (the "Survey") of street segments throughout the City. The survey used statistical methodologies to determine reasonable speed limits, as directed by Vehicle Code § 627 and as defined by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Section 2B.13 of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The survey has the purpose of validating the existing posted speed limits and identifying posted speed limits that should be adjusted (or to maintain status quo limits). The Traffic Engineer completed the study in March 2025. Its results indicate that all street segments with posted speed limits throughout the City are posted at appropriately -established speed limits under prevailing, free -flowing traffic conditions. No existing posted speeds require amendment, and no new signs need to be installed. The 2025 Survey recommends reasonable speed limits that align with those in effect, which the City Council approved through its 2019 study. Despite the maintenance of such approved speed limits, state law requires cities to adopt engineering and traffic surveys through an ordinance to establish and enforce such limits in excess of 25 MPH, even if they do not change from the approved analysis in the prior study. The Public Works Department and ESPD have jointly reviewed and concur with the recommendations provided in the Survey. Accordingly, staff respectfully recommend that the City Council introduce and waive the first reading of the proposed Ordinance to Page 74 of 116 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Zoning June 17, 2025 Page 3 of 3 adopt the Survey, amend El Segundo Municipal Code § 8-4-3 to maintain associated Citywide speed limits, and find that the actions are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3). Staff also respectfully recommend that the City Council schedule the Ordinance's second reading for the July 1, 2025, regular City Council meeting or, as soon thereafter, may be heard. 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. Strategy B: Seek opportunities to implement the use of innovative technology to improve services, efficiency, and transparency. Strategy C: Maintain an innovative General Plan to ensure responsible growth while preserving El Segundo's quality of life and small-town character. Strategy D: Improve mobility and transportation throughout the City. Goal 2: Optimize Community Safety and Preparedness Strategy A: Comprehensively address the unsheltered homeless population. Strategy B: Provide cost-effective and excellent fire protection and emergency response services. Strategy C: Protect and prepare the El Segundo Community and staff for any emergency, disaster, or environmental violation. Strategy D: Ensure that the community feels safe and is satisfied with the services of the El Segundo Police Department.

Ordinance 2. 2025 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Zoning - Link Page 75 of 116 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 8-4-3 TO ADOPT AN ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY, AMEND EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE § 8-4-3 TO MAINTAIN ASSOCIATED CITYWIDE SPEED LIMITS, AND FIND THAT THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES § 15061(B)(3) THE CITY COUNCIL DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. California Vehicle Code § 40802 requires that an engineering and traffic survey be conducted every seven years to establish or justify speed limits on streets and highways where enforcement involves the use of radar or other electronic devices which measure the speed of moving objects. B. In March 2025, the City engaged Garland and Associates to prepare its "City of El Segundo Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Zoning," (the "Survey"), and the City Council seeks to adopt the Survey. C. Vehicle Code § Section 22357 allows the City, by ordinance, to determine and declare a prima facie or maximum speed limit greater than 25 miles per hour in residential or business districts, with such declared speed limit to be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street. D. Through this Ordinance, the City Council seeks to determine and maintain a prima facie or maximum speed limit greater than 25 miles per hour for certain City streets via amendment El Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") § 8-4-3, as described below. E. The City Council finds it in the public interest to amend § 8-4-3 to reflect those speed limits where the recommended speed limit deviates from the Vehicle Code prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour in residence or business districts. F. The modified speed limits in the Survey and this Ordinance are consistent with those limits in the prior 2019 City of El Segundo Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Zoning. SECTION 2. Survey Adoption. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the Survey, which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference. Page 1 Page 76 of 116 SECTION 3. Amendment. ESMC § 8-4-3 is amended in its entirety to read as follows: 8-4-3: SPECIAL SPEED ZONES: A. is hereby determined upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey pursuant to Vehicle Code § 22357 that a speed greater than 25 miles per hour would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon the streets set forth in this section, and it is further determined that the speeds designated herein are appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic in a reasonable and safe manner.

Signal Regulation of Speed: The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to regulate the timing of traffic signals so as to permit the movement of traffic in an orderly and safe manner at speeds slightly at variance from the speeds otherwise applicable within the district or at intersections and shall erect appropriate signs giving notice thereof. SECTION 4. Environmental Assessment. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. In the alternative, the City Council finds that the Ordinance falls within the "common sense" exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision (b)(3), which exempts activity from CEQA where "it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." Here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment because the subject matter only concerns use of adoption and enforcement of vehicular speed limits. SECTION 5. 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 6. Repeal and Supersession. The City Council adopts this Ordinance with the specific intent of superseding any contrary regulation or administrative policy and procedure. Consequently, all regulations that conflict with this Ordinance are repealed. SECTION 7. Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed 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. Page 3 Page 78 of 116 SECTION 8. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after adoption. SECTION 9. Publication. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance causing it to be posted as required by law. PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of 12025.

Adopt the proposed, modified Resolution to temporarily reauthorize permit parking on the north side of Mariposa Avenue between Illinois Court and Kansas Street in the Preferential Parking Zone 3 Program through December 31, 2025. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take alternative action. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: On May 20, 2025, the City Council updated the Preferential Parking Zone 3 parking restrictions, which included the removal of the north side of Mariposa Avenue (between Illinois Court and Kansas Street) from the Preferential Parking Zone 3. At the June 3, 2025 City Council Meeting, Councilmember Boyles requested a modification of the City Council's approved restrictions on the Zone 3 Parking Permit Program. DISCUSSION: Vero Fiber has applied for several encroachment permits to install fiber optic cables in various parts of town. The encroachment permit for the first phase of this work, which is along Mariposa Avenue (between Center and Indiana Streets), was approved by staff and the construction work recently started, and it will take a few months to complete. This construction work along this stretch of Mariposa Avenue has made the parking situation more challenging. The issued permits for the Preferential Parking Program will expire at the end of December 2025. At this time, staff respectfully recommend the City Council to modify the previously Page 94 of 116 Modifying Zone 3 Parking Permit Program June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 2 adopted resolution to include the north side of Mariposa Avenue between Illinois Court and Kansas Street back in the Preferential Parking Program through December 2025. This modification will allow the residents along the north side of Mariposa Avenue between Illinois Court and Kansas Street to continue to be part of the Preferential Parking Zone 3 Program. The new permits which will be issued for this Zone 3 for the year 2026 will not include the residents along the north side of Mariposa Avenue between Illinois Court and Kansas Street. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 1: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology Strategy D: Improve mobility and transportation throughout the City. Goal 2: Optimize Community Safety and Preparedness Strategy D: Ensure that the community feels safe and is satisfied with the services of the El Segundo Police Department.

Appoint a City Council committee to draft a charter and present it to the full City Council for future consideration and potential submission to voters. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed actions in this report would have no significant fiscal impact. BACKGROUND: Current General Law City Status and Becoming a Charter City El Segundo is a general law city organized as provided in the California Government Code (Gov. Code, § 34102.) General law cities are subject to all constraints imposed by the general law and have those powers conferred by the California Constitution, including the "police power" and those powers conferred by state law (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 7.) To become a charter city, El Segundo must adopt a charter. Once a charter is adopted, it operates as a "constitution" for the adopting city. The California Constitution authorizes a city to adopt a city charter. Once effective, the charter has the force and effect of state law (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 3, subd. (a).) Charter City Characteristics Under the constitutional "home rule" provision, charter cities have the authority to make and enforce all ordinances and regulations for "municipal affairs," including those relating to the creation and regulation of a police force and sub -government within the Page 100 of 116 Charter City Consideration and Committee Appointment June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 4 city, the conduct of city elections, and the dealings with municipal officers and employees (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 5, subd. (b).) Charter cities have supremacy over municipal affairs so that a city charter is subject only to conflicting provisions in the state or federal constitutions and preemptive state law on matters of "statewide concern." Attached to this report is a table that illustrates specific areas where charter cities differ from general law cities. However, what may be once a matter of local concern, or municipal affair, may later become a matter of statewide concern controlled by the general laws of the state (See California Federal Savings and Loan Association v. City of Los Angeles (1991) 54 Cal.3d 1, 10.) For example, after the adoption of the controversial lot split/duplex bill SB 9, a Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that the five petitioner charter cities —Redondo Beach, Carson, Torrance, Whittier, and Del Mar —were exempt from SB 9 because it violated their authority over municipal affairs (See City of Redondo Beach, et al., v. Rob Bonta, in his capacity as California Attorney General, Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. 22STCP1143 (2024).) This created interest in general law cities to explore becoming charter cities to avail themselves of potentially more local control as the plaintiffs later made to apply this exemption to all charter cities. However, this was precluded when the California Legislature recently enacted SB 450, which took effect as of 2025 and made additional legislative findings applying SB 9 requirements to all cities, whether general law or charter cities. This continues the trend of the state's usurpation of local control of land use and housing matters. DISCUSSION: City Council Creation and Submission of Charter to Voters State law allows the City Council, "on its own motion," to create the charter and submit it to voters at the next statewide general election, provided there are at least 88 days before the election (Elec. Code, § 34458.) The entire El Segundo City Council could participate in the creation of the charter, or alternatively establish a City Council committee to draft the charter and present it to the full City Council for consideration and potential submission to voters. If the El Segundo City Council is interested in either path, in either scenario, it would have to conduct two duly noticed public hearings on the charter's proposal and content. The City would have to post and publish notice of each meeting at least 21 days in advance. The second hearing must occur at least 30 days after the first public hearing, and at least one of the hearings must occur "outside normal business hours to facilitate public participation. The City Council would have to wait at least 21 days after the second public hearing to submit the charter to the voters, which again, must be submitted at least 88 days before the election. Eight -eight days before the next November 3, 2026 statewide general election is scheduled is August 7, 2026. The City would need to schedule ample time ahead of the 88-day deadline to meet these notice and public hearing requirements. Page 101 of 116 Charter City Consideration and Committee Appointment June 17, 2025 Page 3 of 4 Form of Charter The City Council can draft a charter that is as simple or complex as it desires. At a minimum it must contain an enabling provision declaring autonomy over local affairs. This provision typically references the California constitutional provision that permits cities to adopt charters authorizing local control. A common enabling provision reads as follows, "Section 100 Municipal Affairs: The City of shall have full power and authority to adopt, make, exercise and enforce all legislation, laws, and regulations, and to take all actions relating to municipal affairs, without limitation, which may be lawfully adopted, made, exercised, taken or enforced, under the Constitution of the State of California." There is no requirement that a city's charter list specific municipal powers if it the charter claims the maximum powers for the given city. Thus, a simple charter that provides that all matters deemed municipal affairs can be controlled via city ordinance provides maximum flexibility to a city council. Alternatively detailed charters that specify control over municipal affairs can restrict a future city council and require voter approval for amendment to the specified powers in the charter. Charters may additionally identify the city's scope of authority in the various areas of municipal concern, such as land use, elections, form of government, law enforcement, public contracting. While there is no legal requirement that the charter list such specific municipal powers, some charter drafters identify certain powers powers to share the city council's intention to exercise local control over such listed areas. Attached to this report is the City of Palmdale Charter that combines the simple charter approach with certain listed areas of municipal concerns. Charter Ratification and Effective Date Procedures are straightforward following voter approval of a charter. Voter approval deems the charter "ratified." (Elec. Code, § 34459). The city clerk certifies and files three copies of the charter: one for the city's records, one for recordation with the county, and one for the California Secretary of State (Elec. Code, § 34460.) The charter is deemed "effective" only after Secretary of State of acceptance and filing (Elec. Code, § 34459.) The state publishes the charter in the state's statutes in a designated charter chapter series (Elec. Code, § 34461.) City Council Action Based on the background above, the City Council may establish a City Council committee to draft the charter and present it to the full City Council for future consideration and potential submission to voters.

If a city subjects itself to uniform construction accounting procedures, less formal procedures may be available for contracts less than $200,000. See Cal. Pub. Cont. Code §§ 22000, 22032. Contracts for professional services such as private architectural, landscape architectural, engineering, environmental, land surveying, or construction management firms need not be competitively bid, but must be awarded on basis of demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of services. Cal. Gov't Code § 4526. In general, prevailing wages must be paid on public works projects over $1,000. Cal. Lab. Code § 1771. Higher thresholds apply ($15,000 or $25,000) if the public entity has adopted a special labor compliance program. See Cal. Labor Code § 1771.5(a)-(c). Not required to comply with bidding statutes provided the city charter or a city ordinance exempts the city from such statutes, and the subject matter of the bid constitutes a municipal affair. Pub. Cont. Code § 1100.7; see R & A Vending Services, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 172 Cal. App. 3d 1188 (1985); Howard Contracting, Inc. v. G.A. MacDonald Constr. Co., 71 Cal. App. 4th 38 (1998). However, in practice, state and other grants are only available for projects that are bid in accordance with state procedures. The California Supreme Court held that a charter city may exempt itself from the state's prevailing wage requirements on the city's locally funded public works projects because the wage levels of contract workers constructing locally funded public works are a "municipal affair." (State Bldg. & Constr. Trades Council v City of Vista (2012) 54 C4th 547.) However, Labor Code section 1782 prohibits charter cities from receiving or using state funding or financial assistance for construction projects if the charter city has a charter provision or ordinance authorizing noncompliance with state prevailing wage laws, or if it has awarded a public works contract within the prior two years that did not require compliance with prevailing wage requirements. This effectively means that a charter city must apply prevailing wage to all public construction contracts, or it cannot receive state funding for any construction project.
