the City Attorney, authorizing the transfer of USAR 32 (Urban Search and Rescue
Vehicle) and its assigned grant -funded equipment to be designated to the Torrance Fire
Department.

incurring the cost of replacing the vehicle and its respective Urban Search and Rescue
equipment.)

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

ORDINANCE NO. 1675
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SMOKY HOLLOW SPECIFIC PLAN
PERMITTED USES AND DEFINITIONS RELATED TO INCUBATOR AND
INNOVATIVE START-UP USES.
(Environmental Assessment No. EA-1374 and Specific Plan
Amendment No. SPA 24-03).
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On September 12, 2024, the City initiated an application for Environmental
Assessment No. EA 1374 and Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 24-03 to
amend the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan updating the permitted uses,
definitions, and development standards related to incubator and innovative
start-up uses;
B. On September 12, 2024, and May 22, 2025, the Planning Commission held
study sessions to receive public testimony and provide direction to staff on the
scope of the specific plan amendment;
C. The City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA")
and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations
§§15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines");
D. On July 24, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive
public testimony and other evidence regarding the Ordinance and adopted
Resolution No. 2965 recommending that the City Council introduce and adopt
the Ordinance.
E. On August 19, 2025, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and
considered the information provided by City staff and public testimony
regarding the Ordinance; and
F. 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 August 19, 2025, hearing and the staff report submitted by
the Community Development Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds that introducing
and adopting the Ordinance will amend the City's Smoky Hollow Specific Plan to establish
the following:
Page 31 of 174
A. Amend the Allowed Land Uses (Table 2-1) to add Incubator and Innovative
Start-up uses to the uses permitted by -right and those permitted subject to an
administrative use permit (AUP) in the Smoky Hollow West and Smoky Hollow
East Zoning Districts; and
B. Amend Appendix A (Glossary) to add a definition for Incubator and Innovative
Start-up uses.
SECTION 3: Specific Plan Amendment Findings. As required under Government Code §
65854 and ESMC § 15-27-3 and based on the findings set forth in Section 2, the City
Council finds as follows:
A. That the amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
The Smoky Hollow Specific Plan serves as the General Plan document for the
Smoky Hollow area. Therefore, if the proposed specific plan amendment is
consistent with the Specific Plan's vision, goal and objectives, it is also
consistent with the General Plan. The specific plan amendment is consistent
with and implements the primary Smoky Hollow Specific Plan goal to facilitate
the transformation of the Smoky Hollow district from an aging industrial area to
a vigorous incubator district and major economic force in the City. Specifically,
the amendments facilitate the establishment and growth of innovative start-up
businesses in creative and advanced technology industries by:
1. Establishing a broad and flexible definition of innovative start-up uses; and
2. Establishing an efficient administrative process to permit these uses in the
Specific Plan.
Thus, the amendments are consistent with the Specific Plan vision of making
Smoky Hollow an incubator hub and creative center in El Segundo and
throughout the region.
B. The amendment is necessary to serve the public health, safety, and general
welfare.
The specific plan amendments will help achieve the primary Smoky Hollow
Specific Plan goal of transforming Smoky Hollow from an aging industrial area
to a vigorous incubator district and major economic force in the City. The
amendments allow new innovative start-up uses and reduce barriers to these
uses that are complementary to the creative office and advanced technology
incubator character of the district. Thus, the amendments will help transform
Smoky Hollow into an economic force, which is consistent with and necessary
to serve the public health, safety, and general welfare. In addition, there is no
evidence indicating that any of the proposed amendments will have a
detrimental impact on public health, safety, and general welfare.

Page 32 of 174
SECTION 4: 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.
SECTION 5: Action. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the updated Smoky
Hollow Specific Plan as set forth in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated into this
Ordinance by reference.
SECTION 6: Electronic Signatures. This Ordinance may be executed with electronic
signatures in accordance with Government Code § 16.5. Such electronic signatures will
be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.
SECTION 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.
SECTION 8: Enforceability. Repeal of any provision of the ESMC 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 9: 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 10: 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.

Smoky Hollow Specific Plan Section 2.2.3 (Allowable Uses by Zoning District) is
amended to read as follows:
2.2.3 Allowable Uses by Zoning District
Allowed land uses within each zoning district are listed in Table 2-1. Certain uses may
be subject to special conditions regarding the location, operation, design, or special
permitting requirements. Following an application submittal, the Planning and Building
SafetyCommunity Development Director (Director) or his or her designee shall make a
determination as to whether the proposed use is permitted, conditionally permitted,
prohibited, or allowed as a temporary or accessory use to a permitted use. Any use not

primary use of the land or building and located on the same lot with the primary
use or building.
Uses specifically not allowed in a zoning district are indicated by (—).
➢ Similar Use - Use not listed It is not possible to anticipate every land use that
might be proposed and suitable in the future. Primary uses not listed in Table 2-
1, unless determined by the Director or designee to be substantially similar to a
listed use, are not permitted. In making a determination of similarity, the Director
or designee shall follow the provisions of ESMC Section 15-22-2 (Administrative

Smoky Hollow Specific Plan Appendix A — Glossary is amended as follows:
Incidental: See "Accessory."
Incubator and Innovative Start-up uses:
General definition
A facility specifically designed to facilitate the development and growth of innovative,
early -stage (start-up) businesses. These facilities provide flexible space to support small
visionary start-ups with large aspirations, fostering an environment where innovation
thrives and supporting growth during their initial stages. These establishments facilitate a
variety of activities aimed at generating new and improved products and services.
Permitted activities/functions
Activities/functions of incubator and innovative start-up uses include design, research,
development, testing, prototyping and/or scaling up, and light
industrial/manufacturing; and the outcomes can range from products, inventions,
patents, and/or knowledge. The facilities and/or functions involved may include labs,
offices, research and development, warehousing, and manufacturing as part of the
overall use.
Permitted Industry Types
Incubator and innovative start-up uses may encompass businesses in sectors such
as aerospace and defense, energy, national security -related, software and hardware
technology, and other fields focused on research, development, and innovation, such
as life sciences (biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food, agriculture, and environmental).
Operational characteristics
These uses initially have low employee counts and workspace needs but have the
potential to expand quickly and affect the availability of on -street parking. These uses
generally do not contribute significantly to nuisance factors, such as noise, vibration,
glare, heat, dust, humidity, odor or any type of potential air or waste pollution that may
potentially be hazardous beyond the site's property lines.
Incubator and innovative start-up uses are not intended to:
a) manufacture mass quantities of physical products, or
b) use large quantities of raw and/or hazardous materials.

RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a standard Public Works Construction
Contract with Onyx Paving Company, Inc. for $919,000 for the FY 2025-26
Pavement Rehabilitation Project, Project No. PW 25-07, and authorize an
additional $81,000 as contingency funds for potential unforeseen conditions.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Included in Adopted FY 2025-26 Budget
Amount Budgeted: $1,000,000
Additional Appropriation: No
Account Numbers:
$400,000 (110-400-8203-8943 - Measure R funds)
$200,000 (127-400-0000-8382 - Measure M funds)
$400,000 (128-400-8203-8383 - SB-1 Expenditures)
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department administers a five-year (2023-2028) Pavement
Management Program ("PMP") to manage the integrity of the City's roadway system.
Based on existing records, conditions, and field verification, the PMP assigns a
Pavement Condition Index ("PCI") to all city roadway segments on a scale of 0-100,
with 100 representing a surface condition similar to new pavement.
On May 20, 2025, the City Council adopted plans and specifications for the FY 2025-26
Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project) to maintain roadway segments in the
Page 39 of 174
Pavement Rehabilitation Project, PW 25-07
September 2, 2025
Page 2 of 3
southwest residential quadrant as well as 118th St. west of Aviation Blvd. (shown in the
attached map).
This rehabilitation program includes a two-inch grind and overlay for some streets, and
for others, slurry sealing, the application of a thin asphalt emulsion on existing asphalt
pavement to prevent water intrusion. The goal is to increase the citywide average PCI
score from 73 at the beginning of FY 2021-22 to 75 at the end of FY 2027-28, given the
limitations of available funding.
DISCUSSION:
On June 25, 2025, the City Clerk received and opened three bids as follows:
Company Name
Base Bid
Alternative 15A
1
Onyx Paving Company, Inc.
$919,000.00
$17,000.00
2
Toro Enterprises, Inc.
$961,290.75
$10,000.00
3
Palp, Inc. DBA Excel Paving Company
$993,715.82
$5,000.00
Onyx Paving Company, Inc. is found to be the apparent lowest responsive and
responsible bidder. Their state license and DIR registration are in good standing, and
they have also satisfactorily completed similar pavement rehabilitation projects for the
Cities of Irvine, Rancho Cucamonga, Lawndale, Downey, Eastvale, and Arcadia.
The base bid contract amount for pavement rehabilitation in the southwest quadrant is
$919,000. The alternate Bid Item 15A amount, to re -stripe traffic striping at the Main
St./Imperial Ave. intersection, is $17,000. The work in alternative Bid Item 15A will be
performed by a utility project trenching in the area, and will not be included in this City -
funded project. Therefore, staff recommends awarding the base bid only. A contingency
amount of $81,000 is requested for potential unforeseen conditions.
With the City Council's authorization, the anticipated project schedule is as follows:
September 2025: Award Contract
November: Begin Construction
February 2026: Complete Project

Item Number: 13.8
TITLE:
Award of Contract for Real -Time Data Visualization Platform with Peregrine Through the
2023 UASI Grant Program Award and Subaward Agreement with the City of Los
Angeles
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to award a contract to Peregrine Technologies, Inc.,
subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, in the
amount of $240,000 for a three-year term to provide a Real -Time Data
Visualization platform.
2. Authorize City Manager to waive bidding requirements pursuant to El Segundo
Municipal Code § 1-7-9(a).
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds were appropriated during the FY 2025-26 budget process. The Federal Urban
Area Security Initiatives ("UASI") Grant Program is a reimbursable grant. The upfront
cost of $240,000 will come from City reserves until the funds are reimbursed per the
agreement.
UASI Grant Revenue Account 124-300-3101-6411- budgeted for $251,765 in FY 2025-
26
UASI Grant Expenditure Account 124-400-3101-6411- budgeted for $251,765 in FY
2025-26
BACKGROUND:
In October 2022, the El Segundo Police Department ("ESPD") applied for the 2023
UASI Grant Program with an application totaling $348,355 to purchase an armored
rescue vehicle. In November 2022, ESPD received notice that the law enforcement
Page 51 of 174
UASI 2023
September 2, 2025
Page 2 of 3
working group approved the application with the reduced amount of $251,765. The
projects were then presented to the UASI Approval Authority for final approval at the
December 6, 2022 meeting. A motion was passed to approve the UASI 2023 projects
and funding allocations as presented.
The primary purpose of the UASI Grant Program is to provide financial assistance to
dense urban areas with high concentrations of people, high -visibility targets, and critical
infrastructure to help those areas improve their ability to prevent, protect against,
respond to and recover from threats or acts of terrorism. This financial assistance can
be used to support the purchase of homeland security equipment, as well as the costs
of planning, training, exercises, limited operational costs, and grant administration. The
Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") awards UASI funds by using a discretionary
risk -based formula and assessing the effectiveness of each applicant's proposed
solutions to address these risks. The UASI Grant Program is overseen by the State
Administrative Agency ("SAX), which is the California Governor's Office of Emergency
Services ("Cal OES"). The grant is then administered by the Mayor's Office of Public
Safety, as designated by Cal OES, on behalf of the participating local area jurisdictions
that comprise the Los Angeles/Long Beach Urban Area.
DISCUSSION:
On May 21, 2024, the police department presented the UASI 2023 Grant agenda item
to the City Council, seeking approval to enter into an agreement for the purchase of an
armored rescue vehicle. The motion to authorize the agreement, including the use of
asset forfeiture funds to cover the cost beyond the grant award, was not approved.
Subsequently, we were informed that due to newly imposed restrictions, the purchase of
an armored vehicle was no longer an eligible expense/project under the grant. As a
result, all agencies that had originally requested an armored vehicle, including ESPD,
were required to either revise their projects or wait indefinitely for updated guidelines
from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In response, ESPD, along
with several other agencies, decided to move forward with a project modification rather
than delay.
ESPD would like to move forward with a modification with Peregrine Technologies, Inc.
(Peregrine). Peregrine utilizes proprietary technology to seamlessly access different
systems from one, consolidated dashboard, simplifying investigative research and
reducing the time required for both end -users and system administrators.
Peregrine provides a unified platform tailored for law enforcement that integrates
Department systems, including Mark 43 RMS, Tiburon CAD, Utility (Body -worn
cameras), Avigilon LPR, Flock LPR, and Veritone, to ensure that complete, accurate,
and current data can be pulled from each system. Key features include fully integrated
applications for search, map -based analysis, link analysis, reporting, and dashboarding
that is accessible across all desktops, in -vehicle data terminals, and cell phones. This
Page 52 of 174
UASI 2023
September 2, 2025
Page 3 of 3
automation eliminates the need for manual export and import of data across platforms.
Peregrine's architecture guarantees full data ownership and prevents vendor lock -in by
allowing integration with existing Department solutions and easy data export to multiple,
standard formats. The system is hosted on the AWS Government Cloud and meets all
CJIS and CAL DOJ security standards with single -sign -on and multi -factor
authentication to ensure compliance with agency data security policies.
Peregrine was selected through the City's regular purchasing procedures, which include
various competitive purchasing options, such as the "Piggyback Bid." This method
allows the City to procure goods and services by utilizing another public entity's request
for proposal (RFP) or Bid. By using a "Piggyback Bid," the City gains immediate access
to legitimately solicited contracts and guaranteed pricing without expending staff
resources on preparing its own competitive proposal. If approved, the recommended
Agreement with Peregrine would match the terms secured by the City of Alhambra.

TITLE:
Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Bylaws of the Senior Citizen Housing
Corporation Board to Add One Current Park Vista Tenant to Serve as a Non -Voting
Member
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. approving and adopting
amended and restated bylaws of the El Segundo Senior Citizen Housing
Corporation.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Senior Citizen Housing Board Corporation was established on October 23, 1984 by
City Council after funding for the Park Vista Housing Facility received voter approval on
November 8, 1983. The Corporation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation
formed to administer the operation of the Park Vista senior housing facility and to
encourage affordable housing for senior residents within the City's jurisdiction. The
Board is comprised of five directors designated by City Council. Each director holds
office for four years.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed amendment to the corporation's bylaws would add one current Park Vista
tenant to the board as a non -voting member. The addition of a non -voting Park Vista
resident to the board would help ensure that the voting members hear and consider
input from the tenants' perspective on each item of business. Like the voting members,
the non -voting member would be appointed to the board by the City Council and would

serve for a term of four years. The participation of the non -voting member will not be
necessary to constitute a quorum of the board.
As discussed in the August 19 staff report for this item, the proposed amendment to the
bylaws is being presented as an ordinance because of special rules in the Political
Reform Act. (2 Cal. Code Regs. § 18703(e)(5).) The City Council introduced the
proposed ordinance at its August 19 regular meeting. If the ordinance is adopted by the
City Council, the ordinance will take effect in 30 days.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO APPROVING AND ADOPTING AMENDED AND RESTATED
BYLAWS OF THE EL SEGUNDO SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING
CORPORATION
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. The Senior Citizen Housing Board Corporation was established on October
23, 1984 by City Council after funding for the Park Vista Housing Facility received voter
approval on November 8, 1983.
B. The Corporation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation formed
to administer the operation of the Park Vista senior housing facility and to encourage
affordable housing for senior residents within the City's jurisdiction.
C. The Corporation's board is comprised of five directors designated by City
Council. Each director holds office for four years.
D. The City Council wishes to amend the bylaws of the Corporation to add one
non -voting member to the board, which member must be a current tenant of the Park
Vista senior housing facility. The addition of a Park Vista resident to the board will help
to ensure that the voting members of the board hear and consider input from the tenants'
perspective on each item of business. The participation of the non -voting member will
not be necessary to constitute a quorum of the board.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. Based on the findings in Section 1 and the
evidence in the record as a whole, the City Council finds that the Ordinance is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000
et seq.) pursuant to section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines, because it consists only of
regulatory changes with respect to the composition of the El Segundo Senior Citizen
Housing Corporation's Board of Directors, and, therefore, it can be seen with certainty
that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the
environment.
SECTION 3: Action. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the Amended and
Restated Bylaws of the El Segundo Senior Housing Corporation in the form attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 4: Electronic Signatures. This Ordinance may be executed with electronic

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: 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 7: Effect of Repeal. 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 8: Recordation. The City Clerk, or designee, 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

account of all transactions as the Chief Financial Officer and of
the financial condition of the Corporation; and shall have such
other powers and perform such other duties as the Board or the
bylaws may prescribe.
C. Bond - If required by the Board, the Chief Financial Officer
shall, at the expense of the Corporation, give the Corporation a
bond in the amount and with the surety or sureties specified by
the Board for faithful performance of the duties of the office and
for restoration to the Corporation of all its books, papers,
vouchers, money, and other property of every kind in the
possession or under the control of the Chief Financial Officer on

Section 6. Indemnification.
A. Right of Indemnification:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Corporation shall indemnify
its Directors, Officers, employees, and other persons described in
Section 5238(a) of the California Corporations Code, including persons
formerly occupying any such position, against all expenses, judgments,
fees, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred
by them in connection with any "proceeding", as that term is used in
that Section, and including an action by or in the right of the
Corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a person
described in that section. "Expenses", as used in this bylaw, shall
have the same meaning as in Section 5238(a) of the California
Corporation Code.
Page 66 of 174
B. Approval of Indemnity:
On written request to the Board .by any person seeking indemnification
under Section 5238(b) or Section 5238(c) of the California Corporation
Code, the Board shall promptly determine under Section 5238(e) of the
California Corporations Code whether the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Section 5238(b) or Section 5238(c) has been met
and, if so, the Board shall authorize indemnification. If the Board
cannot authorize indemnification because the number of Directors who
are parties to the proceeding with respect to which indemnification is
sought prevents the formation of a quorum of Directors who are not
parties to that proceeding, the Board shall promptly call a meeting of
City Council. At that meeting, the Council shall determine under
Section 5238(e) of the California Corporations Code whether the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5238(b) or Section
5238(c) has been met and, if so, the Council members present at the
meeting in person or by proxy shall authorize indemnification.
C. Advancement of Expenses,
To the fullest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise
determined by the Board in a specific instance, expenses incurred by a
person seeking indemnification under Section 6 of these bylaws in
defending any proceeding covered by those Sections shall be advanced
by the Corporation before final disposition of the proceeding. On
receipt of the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of that
person, the advance will be repaid, unless it is ultimately determined that
the person is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation for those
expenses.
Section 7. Insurance.
The Corporation shall have the right to purchase and maintain insurance to
the full extent permitted by law on behalf of its Officers, Directors,
employees, and other agents, against any liability asserted against or
incurred by any Officer, Director, employee, or agent in such capacity or arising
out of the Officer's Director's, employee's, or agent's status as such.
Section 8. Amendments.
These bylaws may be amended or repealed and new bylaws adopted by the vote
of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors. No bylaw shall be
amended or repealed and new bylaws shall not be adopted, without the prior
approval of the City Council.

Page 72 of 174
AB1646 Community Alerting System
September 2, 2025
Page 3 of 6
BACKGROUND:
In October 2017, Governor Edmund Gerald Brown Jr. signed AB 1646, which amended
the California Health and Safety Code (section 25536.6 et seq.) administered by the
Unified Program Agencies (UPA, usually a Certified Unified Program Agency, or CUPA)
under the California Accidental Release Prevention (CaIARP) program. It mandates a
"local implementing agency" (LIA) to develop an integrated Alert and Warning system, in
coordination with local emergency management agencies, UPA, local first response
agencies, petroleum refineries, and the public, to be used to notify the community
surrounding a petroleum refinery in the event of an incident at the refinery warranting
the use of the notification system. The Alert and Warning system required by AB 1646
should be configured and used to alert and/or warn the communities surrounding a
petroleum refinery, including single and multiple -family homes, schools, public facilities,
hospitals, transient and special needs populations (as defined), and residential care
homes. The system needs to have the capabilities to integrate with similar systems in
neighboring cities that have refineries. Costs to develop and maintain the system will
typically be collected by the UPA from its refineries and passed on to the LIA.
DISCUSSION:
The City of El Segundo should always maintain an alerting capability by maintaining a
primary operational capability, as well as a back-up capability for use when the primary
capability is not functioning or inaccessible. Maintaining the capability to send out an
alert is imperative as disasters may strike at any time, and jurisdictions are responsible
for informing the public in a timely manner of the threat and protective actions to take.
The City of El Segundo should issue alerts and warning messages as soon as feasible
given the circumstances of the situation. Access to the designated alerting authority and
alerting originator should not be delayed due to limited resources or non -operational
equipment. Designated alerting staff should have ready and reasonable access to
primary or backup alerting systems and be properly trained and well versed in how to
operate the equipment. The City of El Segundo will use non -operations assigned
personnel and off -duty personnel available 24/7 to fulfill this requirement.
The City of El Segundo and other South Bay cities are using Alert South Bay for
community alerting. Alert South Bay is capable of sending out messages related to any
refinery issue through text messages, email, Nixel, social media, and the Integrated
Public Alert and Warning System (iPAWS). City staff assigned to Chevron Refinery
community alerting duties will immediately notify the El Segundo community of
emergencies and incidents warranting awareness.
AB 1646 requires the LIA to ensure jurisdictions enter into effective agreements with
adjacent jurisdictions to coordinate Alerts and Warnings (as defined by state law, see
below), and messaging when a release crosses or threatens to cross -city, county, or
other jurisdictional boundaries, and to document those agreements in the UPA's Area
Plan. Coordination among neighboring jurisdictions must include clear language
Page 73 of 174
AB1646 Community Alerting System
September 2, 2025
Page 4 of 6
identifying the delegation of authority to send out timely alerts and warnings, and to
identify who is an authorized alert and warning initiator. Implicit in this requirement is
timely notification to the initiator and other pertinent local public safety agencies of the
conditions or incident resulting in the need to alert or warn the public so that all other
appropriate public safety measures may be taken in an equally timely manner. Reasons
for prompt and accurate notification of the initiator and pertinent public safety agencies
include enabling measures to mitigate the impacts of the condition or event, including:
• Dispatching emergency response teams quickly and with the appropriate
equipment and personnel.
• Assessing the extent of the release or the potential extent of the release and
whether neighboring communities are at risk of exposure.
• Determining whether the Alert or Warning System should be activated (if not
already activated).
• Responding to inquiries from the media to ensure the distribution of public
information consistent with the Alert or Warning and the facts of the situation or
event.
• Responding to inquiries from public officials from schools, public facilities, and
hospitals, and representatives of transient and special needs populations.
CalARP requires refineries (and other facilities that handle, manufacture, use, or store
regulated substances above certain threshold quantities in a process) to determine the
potential off -site consequences caused by accidental releases of regulated substances.
This information should be used in developing the Alert and Warning system that is
consistent with Article 1 of Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code, which
mandates the Business Plan program and requires immediate notification in the event
of a hazardous materials release. Under state law, a Public Alert is defined as a
communication intended to attract public attention to an unusual situation and motivate
individual awareness. The measure of an effective alert message is the extent to which
the intended audience becomes attentive and searches for additional information. On
the other hand, a Public Warning is defined as a communication intended to persuade
members of the public to take one or more protective actions in order to reduce losses
or harm. The measure of an effective public warning message is the extent to which the
intended audience receives the message and takes the protective action and/or heeds
the guidance.
Immediate notification of the initiator for a potential Alert or Warning is required in the
following situations:
• The release or threatened release of a hazardous material that results in a
substantial probability of harm to nearby workers or the public. This includes all
hazardous materials incidents in which medical attention beyond first aid is
sought.
Page 74 of 174
AB1646 Community Alerting System
September 2, 2025
Page 5 of 6
• The release or threatened release of hazardous materials that may affect the
surrounding population including odor, eye or respiratory irritation.
• The situation or event may cause public concern, such as in cases of fire,
explosion, smoke, or excessive flaring.
• The release or threatened release may contaminate surface water, groundwater
or soil, either on -site (unless the spill is entirely contained and the clean-up is
initiated immediately and completed expeditiously) or off -site.
• The release or threatened release may cause off -site environmental damage.
• The refinery's Safety Supervisor or equivalent personnel is placed on alert due to
a release or threatened release in the likelihood of an emergency situation,
including, but not limited to, emergency shutdowns or major unit start-ups.

RESOLUTION NO. -
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO ESTABLISHING FEES FOR THE COSTS INCURRED
BY THE CITY FOR AB 1646 COMPLIANCE.
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. Effective January 1, 1994, Senate Bill 1082 created a unified
program to administer state hazardous waste statutes and
regulations (the "Unified Program");
B. The City was certified as the Certified Unified Program Agency
("CUPA"), the El Segundo Fire Department ("ESFD") is responsible
for administering and enforcing the CUPA Program, and the City's
CUPA regulatory authority began on July 1, 1997;
C. State law requires the governing body of each CUPA to establish a
single fee system by which the City may recover its annual costs in
administering the Unified Program within the jurisdiction from
persons, including businesses (Health & Saf. Code, § 25404.5);
D. Effective January 1, 2018, Assembly Bill 1646 ("AB 1646") generally
requires refineries to deploy an integrated alert and notification
system related to potential emergency incidents at refineries;
E. AB 1646 requires each CUPA to adopt a one-time fee allowing for
the agency to recover its costs in designing, building, and installing
the notification system for refinery emergencies and an ongoing fee
as part of the single fee system to cover the CUPA's ongoing
operation and maintenance costs for such notification system;
F. Pursuant to Government Code § 66016, the City made data available
regarding the cost, or estimated costs related to the fees 10 days
before the public hearing at which the City Council considered
adopting the proposed fees; such data is attached to this Resolution
as Exhibit "A";
G. Pursuant to Government Code §§ 6062a and 66018, the City duly
published notice of this public hearing;
H. On September 2, 2025, the City Council heard public testimony and
considered evidence in a public hearing held and noticed in
accordance with Government Code § 66016; and
-1-
Page 77 of 174
The fees, in the amounts set forth in Exhibit 'A" are less than or
equal to, but in no event greater than, the actual direct and indirect
costs and expenses incurred by the City in performing the services
connected with such fees.
SECTION 2. Fee Adoption; Authorizations.
A. The City Council hereby adopts the fees set forth and described in
the spreadsheet attached hereto as Exhibit "A" to this Resolution,
which is incorporated herein by this referfence. Such fees shall
become effective immediately upon adoption of this Resolution. The
fees described in the attached data are estimated fees as some
incidents may exceed four hours in which case the refinery located
within the City, as the party subject to the adopted fees, will be billed
the fully burdened rate for the actual hours worked by the individuals
referenced in the data who provide services during the incident.
B. The refinery located within the City, as the party subject to such
adopted fees, will reimburse the City in any amount in excess the
stated fees for the City's actual and reasonable costs incurred in
carrying out its pertinent obligations under the Unified Program, AB
1646, and state law, as applicable. The subject party must submit to
the City payment of such excess costs within 30 days of the party's
receipt of the City's actual reasonable costs, unless such time period
is extended by the City Manger or designee. Similarly, the City will
reimburse a party subject to the adopted fees for any charge in
excess of the City's actual and reasonable costs and paid by the
subject party, following written request by the subject party.
C. The Finance Director or designee will include the fees established by
this Resolution in the City's Master Fee Schedule.
D. Unless otherwise revised, the fees established by this Resolution will
be automatically adjusted by the City Manager, or designee, on an
annual basis on July 1 of each year by applying the percent change
of the Los Angeles Area of Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers for the prior 12 month period ending on April 30 to the
City's fees. The first fee adjustment cannot be made before a
minimum of ten months after the effective date of this Resolution.
E. The City Manager or designee is authorized to take any action
necessary to effectuate this Resolution.
SECTION 3. Environmental Review. This Resolution is exempt from review
under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et
seq.; "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.)
because it establishes, modifies, structures, restructures, and approves rates and
-2-
Page 78 of 174
charges for meeting operating expenses; purchasing supplies, equipment, and
materials; meeting financial requirements; and obtaining funds for capital projects
needed to maintain service within existing service areas. This Resolution,
therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA
Guidelines § 15273.
SECTION 4. Severability. The City Council hereby declares that should
any one or more fees established by this Resolution or any portion of this
Resolution be declared for any reason to be invalid, it is the intent of the City
Council that it would have adopted all other fees and portions of this Resolution
independent of the elimination herefrom of any such fee or such portion as may be
declared invalid.
SECTION 5. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with
electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic
signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original
signature.
SECTION 6. Signature Authority. The Mayor is hereby authorized to affix
his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the
City of El Segundo, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to

1. Consideration. In exchange for a total of bonus payment of $10,000,
Employee agrees to arbitration as the sole and exclusive remedy for the Arbitrable Claims
defined below.
a. Payment of $10,000 is to be paid within 30 days of Employee's delivery
of an executed Agreement to the City. Employee shall not be entitled to
receive more than $10,000 in payment pursuant to this Agreement, even
if Employee's employment is terminated and the Employee
subsequently becomes re-employed by the City.
b. Once the Employee receives a payment under this Agreement, all
Arbitrable Claims shall be subject to the arbitration process outline
below.

Claims defined below shall be submitted to and determined exclusively by binding
arbitration under the California Arbitration Act, ("CAA") (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. sec. 1280
et. Seq. Employer and Employee understand and agree that they are knowingly and
intentionally giving up any right that they may have to a court trial by judge or jury with
regard to the Arbitrable Claims.
3. Arbitration Procedure. The Parties shall have the right to conduct
discovery pursuant to Cal. Code Civ. Proc. sec. 1283.05 (including all of the CAA's other
mandatory and permissive rights to discovery). Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
either Party from obtaining provisional remedies to the extent permitted by Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1281.8 either before the commencement of or during the arbitration
process. All rules of pleading, (including the right of demurrer), all rules and judgment
under Code of Civil Procedure Section 631.8 shall apply and be observed. Resolution of
the dispute shall be based solely upon the law governing the claims and defenses
pleaded. The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator, who shall be an attorney
at law and an experienced employment law arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be mutually
selected by the Parties. The Arbitrator shall have the power to award all legal relief
available in a court of law, including any and all damages that may be available for any of
the claims asserted. In addition, each of the Parties shall retain all defenses that they
would have in a judicial proceeding, including defenses based on the expiration of the
statute of limitations and that the damages being sought are not authorized or are
excessive. The Arbitrator shall render a written award within 30 days after the matter is
submitted for determination, and the award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on
the City, the Association and the employee.
Page 113 of 174

following written notification of the dismissal, demotion or
suspension in which to file an appeal. The written appeal must be

ii. Upon receipt of a timely request for appeal of the dismissal, the
City and employee may either mutually select an arbitrator or
request a list of seven (7) arbitrators registered with the California
State Conciliation and Mediation Service or some other mutually
agreed upon source. The Parties shall agree to a mediator within
ten (10) days of the timely appeal, unless the Parties mutually
agree to extend this time period.
iii. The role of the arbitrator shall be to determine if the dismissal is
consistent with just cause. The arbitrator shall hold a hearing at

b. The civil claims which are subject to final and binding arbitration shall
include, but not be limited to, any and all employment -related claims or
controversies, such as breach of employment agreement, breach of the
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent supervision or hiring,
wrongful discharge in violation of public policy, unpaid wages of overtime
under the state and federal wage payment laws, breach of privacy
claims, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress claims,

basis. It shall also include any and all claims an employee may have
under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Labor Code, and the
Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders, as well as any other state
and federal statutes. This Agreement is further intended to apply to any
claim Employee(s) may have against the City and/or any of its directors,
employees, or agents, and to any and all past and future employment
relationships Employee may have with the City regardless of job position
or title. City shall also arbitrate all claims it has against the employee
under the same rules and regulations set forth herein.
c. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, Employee may elect
to file a claim for workers' compensation and unemployment insurance
benefits with the appropriate state agencies, and administrative charges
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, California
Department of Fair Employment and Housing, and any similar state
agency. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all other
employment -related claims shall be resolved by final and binding
arbitration and not by a jury in a court of law.
5. No Arbitration of Class, Collective or Representative Actions. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, no form of class, collective, or representative action shall
be maintained pursuant to this Agreement without the mutual consent of the Parties. Any
dispute over the validity, effect, or enforceability of the provisions of this paragraph,
including whether the arbitration may proceed as class, collective, or representative
action, shall be for a court of law and not an arbitrator to decide.
6. Arbitration Costs.
a. For arbitrations for appeals of dismissals, demotions, and/or
suspensions without pay longer than six (6) days, the Employee and
Employer agree to split the costs of arbitration evenly (see section 4.a.).
b. For arbitrations of disputes for Arbitrable Claims as set out in section
4.b., the City shall bear the costs of any arbitration, including the
compensation of the Arbitrator, all of the Arbitrator's administrative
expenses, and CSR transcripts for arbitration hearings.
c. For any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement, except as
may otherwise be required by law, the Parties shall be responsible for
their own attorneys' fees and costs incurred in presenting their case to
the Arbitrator, including without limitation deposition related costs.
7. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
for the duration of Employee's current employment by Employer and the duration of any
subsequent re-employment of Employee by Employer and also survives after the
termination of the Employee's current or employment or subsequent re-employment This
Agreement does not create any express or implied contract of employment and nothing
in this Agreement is intended to alter the at -will employment status of Employee.
Page 115 of 174
8. Integration. This Agreement sets forth the Parties' mutual rights and
obligations with respect to the resolution of Arbitrable Claims. It is intended to be the final,
complete, and exclusive statement of the terms of the Parties' agreements regarding this
subject. This Agreement supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements
and statements related to the resolution of Arbitrable Claims, whether written or oral,
express or implied, on this subject, and it may not be contradicted by evidence of any
prior or contemporaneous statements or agreements. To the extent that the practices,
policies, or procedures of Employer, now or in the future, apply to Employee and are
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control.
9. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by
an instrument in writing, signed by Employee and Employer. No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power
under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of
any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity.
10. Severability. If a court or Arbitrator holds any provision of this Agreement
to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. In addition, the Parties authorize the Arbitrator or court to add to or revise
the language of this Arbitration Agreement in order to make the provision complete and
lawful, so as to effectuate to the maximum extent possible the Parties' mutual intent to
have all disputes subject to this provision be resolved solely by final and binding
arbitration.
11. Jurisdiction and Venue. All arbitrations of Arbitrable Claims shall be heard
in Los Angeles County, California, and all court proceedings arising out of this Agreement
shall be filed in Los Angeles County, California.

"Parties" or "Party" as may be appropriate.) Employer and Employee agree to the
following terms and conditions.
1. Consideration. In exchange for a total of bonus payment of $10,000,
Employee agrees to arbitration as the sole and exclusive remedy for the Arbitrable Claims
defined below.
a. Payment of $10,000 is to be paid within 30 days of Employee's delivery
of an executed Agreement to the City. Employee shall not be entitled to
receive more than $10,000 in payment pursuant to this Agreement, even
if Employee's employment is terminated and the Employee
subsequently becomes re-employed by the City.
b. Once the Employee receives a payment under this Agreement, all
Arbitrable Claims shall be subject to the arbitration process outline
below.
2. Applicable Law. The Employee and Employer agree that the Arbitrable
Claims defined below shall be submitted to and determined exclusively by binding
arbitration under the California Arbitration Act, ("CAA") (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. sec. 1280
et. Seq. Employer and Employee understand and agree that they are knowingly and
intentionally giving up any right that they may have to a court trial by judge or jury with
regard to the Arbitrable Claims.
3. Arbitration Procedure. The Parties shall have the right to conduct
discovery pursuant to Cal. Code Civ. Proc. sec. 1283.05 (including all of the CAA's other
mandatory and permissive rights to discovery). Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
either Party from obtaining provisional remedies to the extent permitted by Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1281.8 either before the commencement of or during the arbitration
process. All rules of pleading, (including the right of demurrer), all rules and judgment
under Code of Civil Procedure Section 631.8 shall apply and be observed. Resolution of
the dispute shall be based solely upon the law governing the claims and defenses
pleaded. The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator, who shall be an attorney
at law and an experienced employment law arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be mutually
selected by the Parties. The Arbitrator shall have the power to award all legal relief
available in a court of law, including any and all damages that may be available for any of
the claims asserted. In addition, each of the Parties shall retain all defenses that they
would have in a judicial proceeding, including defenses based on the expiration of the
statute of limitations and that the damages being sought are not authorized or are
excessive. The Arbitrator shall render a written award within 30 days after the matter is
submitted for determination, and the award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on
the City, the Association and the employee.
Page 145 of 174

ii. Upon receipt of a timely request for appeal of the dismissal, the
City and employee may either mutually select an arbitrator or
request a list of seven (7) arbitrators registered with the California
State Conciliation and Mediation Service or some other mutually
agreed upon source. The Parties shall agree to a mediator within
ten (10) days of the timely appeal, unless the Parties mutually
agree to extend this time period.

orientation, disability, political activity, or any other statutorily -protected
basis. It shall also include any and all claims an employee may have
under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Labor Code, and the
Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Orders, as well as any other state
and federal statutes. This Agreement is further intended to apply to any
claim Employee(s) may have against the City and/or any of its directors,
employees, or agents, and to any and all past and future employment
relationships Employee may have with the City regardless of job position
or title. City shall also arbitrate all claims it has against the employee
under the same rules and regulations set forth herein.
c. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, Employee may elect
to file a claim for workers' compensation and unemployment insurance
benefits with the appropriate state agencies, and administrative charges
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, California
Department of Fair Employment and Housing, and any similar state
agency. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all other
employment -related claims shall be resolved by final and binding
arbitration and not by a jury in a court of law.
5. No Arbitration of Class, Collective or Representative Actions. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, no form of class, collective, or representative action shall
be maintained pursuant to this Agreement without the mutual consent of the Parties. Any
dispute over the validity, effect, or enforceability of the provisions of this paragraph,

4.b., the City shall bear the costs of any arbitration, including the
compensation of the Arbitrator, all of the Arbitrator's administrative
expenses, and CSR transcripts for arbitration hearings.
c. For any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement, except as
may otherwise be required by law, the Parties shall be responsible for
their own attorneys' fees and costs incurred in presenting their case to
the Arbitrator, including without limitation deposition related costs.
7. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
for the duration of Employee's current employment by Employer and the duration of any
subsequent re-employment of Employee by Employer and also survives after the
termination of the Employee's current or employment or subsequent re-employment This

in this Agreement is intended to alter the at -will employment status of Employee.
Page 147 of 174
8. Integration. This Agreement sets forth the Parties' mutual rights and
obligations with respect to the resolution of Arbitrable Claims. It is intended to be the final,
complete, and exclusive statement of the terms of the Parties' agreements regarding this
subject. This Agreement supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements
and statements related to the resolution of Arbitrable Claims, whether written or oral,
express or implied, on this subject, and it may not be contradicted by evidence of any
prior or contemporaneous statements or agreements. To the extent that the practices,
policies, or procedures of Employer, now or in the future, apply to Employee and are
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control.
9. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by
an instrument in writing, signed by Employee and Employer. No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power
under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of
any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity.
10. Severability. If a court or Arbitrator holds any provision of this Agreement
to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. In addition, the Parties authorize the Arbitrator or court to add to or revise
the language of this Arbitration Agreement in order to make the provision complete and
lawful, so as to effectuate to the maximum extent possible the Parties' mutual intent to
have all disputes subject to this provision be resolved solely by final and binding
arbitration.
11. Jurisdiction and Venue. All arbitrations of Arbitrable Claims shall be heard
in Los Angeles County, California, and all court proceedings arising out of this Agreement

TITLE:
First Reading of an Ordinance Amending El Segundo Municipal Code Section 1-6-4 to
Update the List of Positions Exempt from the Civil Service System and Section 1-6-5 to
Revise the Position Title of One Department Head
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce and waive the first reading of the proposed Ordinance amending El
Segundo Municipal Code Section 1-6-4 to update the list of positions exempt
from the Civil Service System and Section 1-6-5 to revise the position title of one
Department Head.
2. Direct staff to schedule a second reading of the Ordinance for the regular
September 16, 2025, City Council meeting or as soon thereafter it may be
considered.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Exempt positions from the Civil Service System do not have the same rights as
classified positions. Civil Service provides a range of job protections for City employees,
including merit -based hiring and promotions, opportunity for employees to correct
performance issues, and "for cause" termination. In contrast, employees exempt from
Civil Service may be appointed without a competitive hiring process and are subject to
"at -will" employment (i.e., employment that may be terminated at any time for any
reason not prohibited by law).
El Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") § 1-6-1 requires Civil Service membership for all
City employees except those specifically exempted. ESMC § 1-6-4 exempts department
Page 149 of 174
Municipal Code Revision to the List of Exempt Positions & Department Head Title

Page 2 of 4
heads, elective officers, and certain specified positions listed therein. Currently, the
Senior Executive Assistant (At -Will) is the only position on the list that is not at a
department head or manager level.
El Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") § 1-6-5 lists the titles of department head
positions. The Chief Financial Officer position previously included oversight of the City's
Risk Management program and Risk Manager position. In April 2023, these
responsibilities were transferred to the Director of Human Resources.
DISCUSSION:
Senior Executive Assistant (At -Will) Civil Service Status
The Senior Executive Assistant (At -Will) is the highest classification in the administrative
series, which includes one position in the unrepresented Management and Confidential
employee group with the remainder of the positions included in the represented City
Employees' Association. Positions excluded from the Civil Service System are at a
department head or manager level. The Senior Executive Assistant is the only position
listed that is not at that level.
The proposed Ordinance would remove the Senior Executive Assistant (At -Will) position
from the list of those exempted from the Civil Service System. A Civil Service exemption
for each of the three positions noted below in bold text with an asterisk (*) will become
effective upon vacation of each position and City Council approval of a revised
classification specification for the position.

Director of Human Resources Title Change
The proposed Ordinance would update the title from Director of Human Resources to
Director of Human Resources & Risk Management to more accurately reflect the scope
of work for this position. Human Resources oversees the City's Risk Management
program, which includes workers' compensation and general liability claims
management, insurance review of City contracts and agreements, participation in the
ICRMA risk pool to obtain all lines of insurance coverage for the City, OSHA reporting,
safety training, and other related policies and programs to minimize risk to the City.
Implementation Actions
To implement the above actions, modification to ESMC Chapter 1-6 is needed to
comply with City's personnel policies and practices and state law. The proposed
Ordinance would remove the Senior Executive Assistant from the list of positions
excluded from the Civil Service System, thereby including it as a covered position
covered under the Civil Service System. Additionally, the proposed Ordinance would
update the title of the Director of Human Resources to the Director of Human
Resources & Risk Management.

Two readings of the Ordinance are required for approval. Staff recommend a second
reading of the proposed Ordinance at the regular September 16, 2025, City Council
meeting or as soon thereafter it may be considered.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 4: Promote and Celebrate a Quality Workforce Through Teamwork and
Organizational Excellence

unparalleled City services and implementation of City Council policies.

that facilitate data collection and analysis while promoting data -driven decision -making.
Strategy C: Reduce the number of workers' comp and general liability claims and
expedite the resolution of existing claims.

The City of El Segundo is currently in the process of updating its Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan (LHMP) with the assistance of Atlas Planning Solutions. Once adopted
by City Council and approved by FEMA, the LHMP can enable access to federal
mitigation grant funding as well as additional funds in disaster recovery costs. The
previous LHMP expired in 2022 and the new one is being developed with input from
each City Department as well as the local community and local stakeholders.
11 &*401*4lei 0 F
An LHMP is a foundational document that outlines a community's strategy for reducing
or eliminating long-term risks from natural, technological, and man-made hazards. The
goal of the LHMP is to save lives, property, and the environment via an assessment of
hazards, vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies. It is crucial for the El Segundo City
Council to understand the LHMP because it allows for informed decision -making based
on accurate and actionable data.

TITLE:

T_T44201:161110113
The Urho Saari Swim Stadium ("The Plunge") is named after a highly regarded swim
coach who came to El Segundo in 1941 and coached US Olympic water polo and swim
teams. Originally built in 1940 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the larger
pool has eight lanes and is 25 yards long. There is also a separate junior pool. The
Urho Saari Swim Stadium is typically programmed year-round for recreation swim, lap
swim, fitness classes, swim lessons, practices, and competitions. The Plunge has been
under renovation since August 2024 and is expected to re -open to the public in the first
quarter of 2026.
DISCUSSION:
The funding for the Plunge is coming from the City's Capital Improvement Program,
donations from the El Segundo School District, and a number of private donations. The
Recreation, Parks, and Library Department is collaborating with the South Bay Sports,
Health and Recreation (SBSHR) in a Capital Campaign to raise $5 million dollars
towards the project. The South Bay Sports, Health and Recreation is a non-profit
corporation dedicated to providing funding to create, upgrade and enhance sports and
recreation facilities with the purpose of promoting and cultivating improved health for the
betterment of the community. SBSHR also partnered with the City to raise funding for

the El Segundo Wiseburn Aquatic Center, which opened in 2019.
The Plunge Capital Campaign kicked off in Spring of 2024 and has $2,033,577 in
pledged donations to date. The Capital Campaign has two components including a
naming rights program and a Community Heroes Donor Wall. The naming rights
program entitles donors with pledges of over $100,000 to have amenities within the
Plunge "named" after the business. The Community Donor Wall program allows
smaller -level donors the opportunity to have an engraved acrylic with the donor's name
installed on a Community Heroes Wall that will be featured on one of the two walls
running along the pool inside the facility.
To date, there have been six major donors, including Chevron, Continental
Development Corporation, Mar Ventures, Torrance Memorial Medical Center, Skechers
Foundation and Los Angeles Lakers. In September 2025, staff will be arranging
meetings for Mayor Chris Pimentel and Councilmember Ryan Baldino to join SBSHR
CEO Richard Lundquist in meetings with representatives from Boeing, Aerospace
Corporation, Hackmann Capital, Mattel, and L'Oreal to seek additional support for the
project.
City staff are focused on connecting with community donors through a campaign effort
focused on securing pledges for the Community Heroes Wall. A "Capital Campaign"
booth has been featured at several local events, including the Movies in the Park, the
Art Walk, the Farmer's Market and others. In addition, a mailing campaign targeting
smaller El Segundo businesses kicked off in August.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability
