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 Page 18 of 245 Warrant Demand Register June 16, 2026 Page 2 of 2 specific date. Such warrants look like checks and clear through the banking system like checks. Warrants are issued for payroll to individual employees, accounts payable to 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. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Strategy A: Identify opportunities for new revenues, enhancement of existing revenues, and exploration of potential funding options to support programs and projects.

Adopt a resolution approving engineering plans and specifications for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Improvements Project No. PW 26-05 to avail the City of the immunities set forth in Government Code § 830.6. 2. Authorize staff to advertise the project for construction. 3. Appropriate $322,500 to the Federal Grant Funds Account No. 124-505-0000-2- 88330. 4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The total budget for the EOC Improvement Project is $430,000. The funding is broken down as follows: $107,500 from the General Fund CIP included in the adopted FY 2025-26 budget and $322,500 from the Federal Grant Fund needs to be appropriated. The Federal Grant Funds were approved by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), grant funds were accepted by City Council on January 21, 2025. Amount Budgeted: $107,500 (#301-511-4101-2-88116) Additional Appropriation: $322,500 (#124-505-0000-2-88330) Account Numbers: #301-511-4101-2-88116 General Fund CIP ($107,500), #124-505- 0000-2-88330 Federal Grant Fund ($322,500) BACKGROUND: On June 4, 2024, the City Council adopted the FY 2024-25 Capital Improvement Page 37 of 245 Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications for the EOC Improvements Project, Project No., PW 26-05 June 16, 2026 Page 2 of 3 Program (CIP) Budget, which included technological and interior improvements to the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The EOC was constructed in 2000 and has not undergone any major improvements since that time. As a result, upgrades to communication equipment and technological infrastructure are needed to ensure the facility can effectively support local and regional emergency response efforts. To help address these identified needs, the City was awarded a Community Project Funding Grant in March 2024 through Congressman Ted Lieu's office to partially fund the planned EOC improvements. This grant, funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CaIOES), is intended to enhance emergency management and preparedness capabilities by supporting flexible, sustainable, secure, strategically located, and fully interoperable EOCs. Fully capable emergency operations facilities at the state and local levels are a critical component of a comprehensive national emergency management system and are essential to ensuring coordinated response efforts among multiple organizations and jurisdictions during major disasters or emergencies. DISCUSSION: The City hired Kardent, Inc. to prepare the engineering plans and specifications for the project and these documents were reviewed and approved by staff. The final design was completed in May 2026. The grant term expires in April 2027 and funds must be expended prior to expiration. With the City Council's authorization, the anticipated schedule for the EOC Improvements Project is as follows: June 2026: Advertising and Bid Process September 2026: Contract Award November 2026: Begin Construction February 2026: Construction Completion 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.

Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The City receives approximately $60,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant funds from Los Angeles County. The proposed budget includes the annual CDBG allocation. BACKGROUND: Each year, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are allocated to small cities by the Federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and administered by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA). Participating cities receive federal funding based upon the total number of cities participating in the County's program, census population counts, estimates of poverty, overcrowding, and aged housing stock. The City of El Segundo has participated in the Los Angeles Urban County's CDBG Small Cities Program since 1986. The mission of the CDBG Program is to improve the quality of life for low- and moderate -income persons, aid in the prevention of neighborhood deterioration and meet Page 70 of 245 Continued Participation in the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant Program June 16, 2026 Page 2 of 3 other urgent community development needs. The City's annual allocation of approximately $60,000 in federal CDBG funds support activities such as construction of American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant improvements. 11 &*4 01*1 IC 0 F On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved a Cooperation Agreement with LACDA to continue participating in the Los Angeles Urban County CDBG Program for a three-year period beginning July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027. As the prior three-year qualification period reaches the June 30, 2027 expiration date, LACDA is requesting that cities wishing to continue participating in the Urban County CDBG Program renew for another three-year term. To remain eligible, the City is required to adopt a resolution to enter into a new three-year Cooperation Agreement. The new term will commence July 1, 2027 and end on June 30, 2030. The County, LACDA, and HUD have not finalized the 2027-2030 Three -Year Cooperation Agreement for participating cities. Thus, the action to adopt the Resolution authorizes the City Manager, or his designee, the Community Development Director, to execute the forthcoming Cooperation Agreement with the County and LACDA, in a form approved by the City Attorney. The Resolution further provides the City Manager, or his designee, the Community Development Director, to execute all CDBG Program contracts and agreements with LACDA. The City typically uses its CDBG funds to ensure compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Since 2007, CDBG funds supported the installation of approximately 400 ADA-compliant accessible curb ramps throughout the City. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 1: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology Strategy D: Improve mobility and transportation throughout the City. Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Strategy D: Implement community planning, land use, and enforcement policies that encourage growth while preserving El Segundo's quality of life and small-town character.

Authorize the expenditure of $69,152 as El Segundo's contribution of operating funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27 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 commits $69,152 in operating funds for FY 2026-27 to support the Beach City Transit Line 109 service. This dollar amount is included in the City's FY 2026-27 adopted budget under Transportation Services utilizing Proposition A funding from LA Metro. El Segundo's contribution remains steady, unless there is a funding shortfall. In this case, the contribution will be recalculated based on Beach City Transit Line 109's mileage within El Segundo's borders. This will be calculated using prior years' service hours, fuel costs, and system expenses. BACKGROUND: In July 2006, the cities of Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, and El Segundo entered an agreement to collectively create a new line to provide bus services Page 76 of 245 Transit Service Operation Agreement June 16, 2026 Page 2 of 3 to South Bay Residents in lieu of the discontinued Metropolitan Transportation Authority's ("Metro") Line 439. Since August 2006, Beach Cities Transit (BCT) has operated Line 109 from Redondo Beach to the LAX Transit Center, passing through each South Bay city. 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 is eligible to receive funding from Metro to partially fund local transit operating expenses due to its status as a community connector. The four participating cities proportionally share any remaining costs (based on estimated route miles within each jurisdiction) for the annual operations of the service. DISCUSSION: The City of Redondo Beach is proposing a one-year agreement with the City of El Segundo for Fiscal Year 2026-27 to continue cooperation of the BCT Line 109 service to operate the transit service. For the 2026-27 agreement, the City of Redondo Beach will continue to 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 2026-27 operating costs is $69,152, which reflects the portion of the 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, El Segundo's additional contribution will be based on mileage proportionate to City routes. This ensures that El Segundo's responsibility is proportional and equitable. Functionally, there are no changes to the agreement year over year, outside the City's increased obligation. Transit operation will continue as usual, and no new terms or conditions have been issued in the 2026-27 contract. 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. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 1: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology Page 77 of 245 Transit Service Operation Agreement June 16, 2026 Page 3 of 3 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 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.

Trips as needed: $5,000 (Swoop) 5. Elementary School Field Trips and Day Shuttles: $10,000 (Swoop) 6. Dial -a -Ride Services: $175,000 (Lyft) A total amount of $444,723 of Prop A funding is included in the FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget for transportation -related services. The staff are proposing amending contracts with Swoop, Inc. and Lyft, Inc. in the amount of $254,000 to continue transportation programs. The remaining balance of Prop A funds ($190,723) 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: $175,000 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s):112-512-5292-7-56204 (Prop A: Dial -A -Ride Services) Amount Budgeted: $45,000 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s):112-512-5293-7-56204 (Prop A: Shuttle Services) Amount Budgeted: $34,000 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s):112-512-5294-7-56228 (Prop A: Recreation Trips) BACKGROUND: The Recreation, Parks, and Library Department offered a variety of transportation services to residents during Fiscal Year 2025-26 through contract services with Swoop, Inc. ("Swoop") and Lyft, Inc. ("Lyft"). These services include the Beach Shuttle program, excursions, Dial -a -Ride services, and event shuttles. Recreation, 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. 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 2025-26, some excursion sites included the El Dorado Nature Center, California Science Center, Autry Museum of the American West, LA County Arboretum, Norton Simon Museum, The Original Farmer's Market, and more. El Segundo Unified School District Programming Since 2024, the City has provided transportation assistance to the El Segundo Unified Page 80 of 245 FY 2026-27 Transportation Contracts June 16, 2026 Page 3 of 4 School District. In 2025 and 2026, the City shuttled fifth grade classes from Richmond Street School to their end -of -school -year picnic at Chevron Park. 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 2026-27, the Recreation, Parks, and Library Department budgeted $175,000. 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, State of the City, and Public Art Tours. To support these efforts, Recreation, Parks, and Library staff is requesting $25,000 in funding to accommodate needs for Fiscal Year 26/27. DISCUSSION: The current transportation contracts with Swoop and Lyft expire on June 20, 2026. Due to an increase in ridership, the Recreation, Parks, and Library Department is requesting: • A fourth amendment to the City's agreement with Swoop for $79,000 for various shuttle and day trip operations for FY 2027-27; and • A fourth amendment to the City's agreement with Lyft for $175,000 for Dial -A - Ride and Dr. Dial -A -Ride services for FY 2026-27. Since El Segundo will receive an estimated $444,723 of Prop A funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27, $190,723 will remain in the fund balance to reimburse administrative costs and to fund other transportation programs and services such as BCT and Recreation Camp bus transportation. 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. Page 81 of 245 FY 2026-27 Transportation Contracts June 16, 2026 Page 4 of 4 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.

Open and conduct a public hearing to solicit public testimony. 2. Introduce and waive first reading of an ordinance amending El Segundo Municipal Code Title 15 to update and clarify definitions, permitted uses and development standards in various zones (clean-up ordinance), and find that the ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). 3. Schedule the ordinance's second reading for the July 7, 2026, City Council meeting or as soon thereafter as it may be heard. 4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: In 2017, the Community Development Department initiated periodic "clean-up" ordinances to update and clarify Zoning Code provisions, incorporate director determinations or interpretations, and to respond to changes in State regulations. The proposed ordinance is the fourth clean-up ordinance and, as with previous ordinances, it is intended to make the Zoning Code more user-friendly while preserving El Segundo's quality of life and small-town character. On April 23, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed ordinance (See Attached Exhibit No. 1). During the discussion, the Planning Commission deliberated on the topic of rooftop decks on residential structures, which is Page 83 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 2 of 12 not clearly addressed in the Zoning Code today. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Planning Commission directed staff to revise the draft ordinance to address where and subject to what standards rooftop decks should be permitted and continued the public hearing to its regularly scheduled meeting on May 14, 2026. On May 14, 2026, the Planning Commission resumed the public hearing, considered the revised ordinance, and adopted Resolution No. 2975 (See Attached Exhibit No. 2), recommending City Council adopt the proposed ordinance. The Planning Commission's direction regarding rooftop decks is reflected in the draft ordinance and in the discussion section below. DISCUSSION: Ordinance Summary The discussion below provides a bullet point summary of the proposed amendments, which affect the following chapters of the Zoning Code: Chapter 1 - Definitions The proposed ordinance amends or adds definitions for the following terms: Accessory Building or Structure. Clarifies that pools are an accessory structure and are subject to the development standards applicable to all other accessory buildings. Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), Junior. Clarifies how Junior ADU size is measured and ensures consistency with State law. Animal Boarding. Clarifies that animal boarding is synonymous with kennels. The El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) lists animal boarding as a permitted use in certain zones, but there is no definition of animal boarding. The proposed amendment clarifies that animal boarding is the same as kennels, which is defined in the municipal code. • Deck, Rooftop. The ESMC does not clearly regulate rooftop decks in residential zones. The proposed amendment establishes a new definition for rooftop decks, so they can be listed as permitted uses subject to location restrictions and setback standards. • Fitness Center. Clarifies that fitness centers (gyms) may include various amenities and uses, such as pools, saunas, sports courts, small fitness studios, and similar uses/facilities. • Floor Area. Eliminates the definition of "floor area," which is redundant, to rely primarily on the definitions for gross floor area and net floor area. • Gross Floor Area. Clarifies the measurement of gross floor area and ensures consistency with the California Building Code (CBC) definition. Consistency Page 84 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 3 of 12 between the ESMC and CBC will enable architects and designers to calculate gross floor area only once on their plans and streamline plan preparation and review. • Home Occupation. Adds restrictions on car sharing businesses. In the last few years, there has been a trend in home -based car sharing businesses and related code enforcement activity. Incorporating specific provisions in the municipal code regarding these businesses will assist residents wishing to engage in this type of home occupation and potentially reduce related code enforcement activity. • Livable Space. Adds a definition for "livable space" and ensures consistency with State Law related to ADUs and Junior ADUs. Mixed -Use Project. Following recently completed rezoning that established mixed -use specific plans and overlays, a mixed -use project definition is added to clarify when certain development standards apply to those projects, especially parking -related standards. General Office. Clarifies that the "professional" office subcategory includes tutoring centers, but not schools. The professional office subcategory includes several examples of professional offices for illustrative purposes, including "educational services," which are not defined and subject to interpretation. Educational services, such as school administrative offices or tutoring centers support education, but they are not schools. The proposed amendment clarifies the distinction between educational services and schools. • Recreational Facilities. Clarifies that recreational facilities can also include small studios for art, performing art, and fitness. Studios for Art, Performing Art, and Fitness. Adds a definition for these studios and sets a maximum size of 2,500 gross square feet. A clear definition for these uses helps clarify where they are permitted and how much parking to require. Chapter 2 - General Provisions Exceptions to Building Height (ESMC Section 15-2-3). Corrects a reference to ESMC Chapters 15-22 (Administrative Determinations, Administrative Use Permits, and Adjustments) and 15-23 (Director Discretionary Decisions). • Temporary Buildings (ESMC Section 15-2-10). Permits and sets restrictions for the use of shipping/cargo containers as temporary construction buildings in the Single -Family (R-1) and Two -Family (R-2) Residential zones. The municipal code permits the use of temporary structures, such as mobile homes or trailers on a construction site, but doesn't address the use of shipping/cargo containers for Page 85 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 4 of 12 materials storage or offices during construction. The proposed amendment clarifies that these structures are permitted in the R-1 and R-2 zones subject to certain restrictions and director review and approval. Chapter 4 - Residential Zones (ESMC Chapter 15-4) Permitted Uses in Residential Zones (ESMC Article 15-4A). o Adds rooftop decks as permitted accessory uses in the R-1, R-2, and R-3 zones, subject to the following location restrictions: ■ Primary structures. Rooftop decks are permitted above the first and second floors of primary structures, except on lots wider than 25 feet in the R-1 zone where they are only permitted above the first floor. During the Planning Commission discussion on this topic, the majority of the Commission determined that wide lots in the R-1 Zone do not have the same space constraints as narrow (25-foot) lots or multifamily (R-2 and R-3) lots, and, therefore, do not need the additional allowance for usable space above the second floor. Accessory structures. Rooftop decks are only permitted above the first floor of accessory structures. Single -Family Residential (R-1) zone (ESMC Article 15-413). o Clarifies the permitted front yard setback encroachments. In the R-1 zone, porches, verandas, raised decks, patios, and the primary dwelling front facade are permitted to encroach into the front yard setback, subject to restrictions on the extent and location of the encroachments. The proposed amendment clarifies the extent and location of the encroachments. o Clarifies the minimum unit size and maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) calculations. The proposed amendment clarifies that the minimum unit size is measured in gross floor area. In addition, the amendment clarifies that the floor area measurement in the R-1 zone is specific only to the FAR and not applicable to other development standards. o Requires a five-foot rear and side yard setback for rooftop decks on top of detached accessory structures on lots up to 25 feet wide. o Requires a five-foot rear yard setback for rooftop decks on top of detached accessory structures on lots wider than 25 feet. Two -Family Residential (R-2) zone. o Clarifies the permitted front yard encroachments. In the R-2 zone (as in the R-1 zone), porches, verandas, raised decks, patios, and the primary Page 86 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 5 of 12 dwelling front facade are permitted to encroach into the front yard setback, subject to restrictions on the extent and location of the encroachments. The proposed amendment clarifies the extent and location of the encroachments. o Requires a side yard setback of 10 percent of the lot width plus two feet for rooftop decks on top of detached accessory structures. o Requires a five-foot rear yard setback for rooftop decks on top of detached accessory structures. o Clarifies the measurement of the maximum floor area for detached accessory structures. The R-2 zone has a maximum overall floor area limit on detached accessory structures, but the code does not specify whether it is gross or net floor area. The proposed amendment clarifies that the limit is measured in gross floor area. o Landscaping Area. Adds a minimum landscaping area requirement for the front yard setback. The R-2 zone requires the front and street side setbacks to be landscaped with a combination of softscape and hardscape, except for those areas devoted to vehicular parking. The proposed amendment establishes a minimum percentage of the front setback area that must be landscaped with softscape material. The required percentage is higher for lots wider than 50 feet. The addition of the minimum percentage will help prevent front and street side setbacks from being completely paved and will preserve a minimum amount of open, green space. o Front Yard Tree. Adds a minimum requirement of one 24-inch box tree in the front yard in conjunction with a new primary dwelling unit. Last year, the City established a minimum requirement of one 24-inch box tree in the front yard in the R-1 zone to help maintain the overall tree canopy in the R-1 neighborhoods. The proposed amendment expands the requirement to R-2 neighborhoods. Multi -Family Residential (R-3) zone. o Clarifies the permitted front yard encroachments. In the R-3 zone (as in the R-1 zone), porches, verandas, raised decks, patios, and the primary dwelling front facade are permitted to encroach into the front yard setback, subject to restrictions on the extent and location of the encroachments. The proposed amendment clarifies the restrictions on the extent and location of the encroachments. o Requires a five-foot rear and side yard setback for rooftop decks on top of detached accessory structures. Page 87 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 6 of 12 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) (ESMC Article 15-4E). o Clarifies the floor area measurement for ADUs. The municipal code (ESMC Article 154E) establishes certain floor area limitations for ADUs, but it does not specify whether it is gross or net floor area. The proposed amendment clarifies that the limitations are measured in gross floor area or interior livable space (as required by state law). o Specifies ADU application procedures and timelines. The proposed amendment establishes a 15-day deadline to determine whether an ADU application is complete, requires the City to provide a written response for applications that are deemed incomplete, and establishes a right for applicants to appeal staff determinations or decisions to the Planning Commission. o Clarifies the calculation of development impact fees for ADUs. The municipal code (ESMC Article 15-4E) requires applicants for ADUs 750 square feet or larger to pay development impact fees proportionally in relation to the size of the primary dwelling unit. The municipal code does not specify whether the size of the ADU or primary dwelling is in gross or net floor area. In addition, the municipal code does not describe how the ADU development impact fee is measured for multi -family residential developments. The proposed amendment clarifies that all floor areas are measured in gross floor area and specifies how to calculate the ADU development impact fee for multi -family residential developments. • Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU) (ESMC Article 15-4F). o General Requirements (Section 15-4F-2). Clarifies that owner occupancy is required when JADUs have shared sanitation facilities with the primary dwelling unit. Also, it establishes a JADU minimum rental term longer than 30 consecutive days. o Development Standards (Section 15-4F-3). Sets a maximum size of 500 square feet of interior livable space for JADUs. Also, it requires an internal entrance from the primary dwelling unit to the JADU when the JADU does not have its own separate bathroom. o Application Process; Fees (Section 15-4F-4). The proposed amendment establishes a 15-day deadline to determine whether a JADU application is complete, requires the City to provide a written response for applications that are deemed incomplete, and establishes a right for applicants to appeal staff determinations or decisions to the Planning Commission. Also, it clarifies that JADUs are exempt from payment of development impact mitigation fees and utility connection fees or capacity charges. Page 88 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 7 of 12 • Urban Lot Splits (ESMC Article 15-4G). o Clarifies the front yard setback requirements for the two newly created lots. The municipal code establishes the front yard setback for lots fronting on a public street. However, it is unclear what the required front setback is for the newly created rear lot in an Urban Lot Split. The proposed amendment clarifies that the rear lot setback to the newly created property line is four feet. o Clarifies the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) calculations. The amendment clarifies that the FAR measurement in the R-1 zone is specific only to the FAR and not applicable to other development standards. o Clarifies the permitted front yard encroachments. In an Urban Lot Split, porches, verandas, raised decks, patios, and the primary dwelling front facade are permitted to encroach into the front yard setback of the newly created front lot, subject to restrictions on the extent and location of the encroachments. The proposed amendment clarifies the extent and location of the encroachments to match those applicable to all R-1 zoned lots. The proposed amendment also clarifies that these front yard encroachments do not apply to the newly created rear lot in an Urban Lot Split. o Clarifies the front yard landscaping requirements. In an Urban Lot Split, the municipal code establishes a minimum percentage of the front setback area that must be landscaped with softscape material. The required percentage is higher for lots wider than 50 feet. These requirements match the landscaping requirements applicable to all R-1 zoned lots. The proposed ordinance clarifies that these requirements apply only to the newly created front lot in an Urban Lot Split. o Clarifies that the required parking spaces for Urban Lot Splits may be uncovered. The municipal code today requires one off-street parking space for every newly constructed dwelling unit in an Urban Lot Split, but it does not specify whether the parking space must be fully enclosed, covered, or uncovered. The proposed amendment clarifies that the required parking space may be fully enclosed, covered, or uncovered. o Clarifies the vehicular access requirements for lots abutting an alley. The municipal code requires that where an R-1 lot abuts an alley, vehicular access to the lot must be from the alley. The proposed amendment clarifies that in an Urban Lot Split vehicular access to both newly created lots must be from the alley. Page 89 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 8 of 12 Chanter 5 - Commercial Zones • Permitted Uses. o Studios for art, performing art, and fitness. The proposed ordinance adds these studios as stand-alone permitted uses in the C-2 (Neighborhood Commercial), C-3 (General Commercial), and C-4 (Commercial Center) zones. In other commercial zones, they can be permitted as components of either a fitness center or a larger recreational facility. o Office worker -oriented services. Establishes location, size, and operational restrictions for these uses. The ESMC previously had the following location, size, and operational restrictions for office worker -oriented services: Office worker -oriented services are prohibited along Pacific Coast Highway and El Segundo Boulevard and include uses such as: ■ Dry cleaners that have cleaning operations onsite and are not more than 3,000 gross square feet (not including Laundromats); Shipping, postal, printing and business service centers that are not more than 3,000 gross square feet; ■ Self-service parcel delivery service; and ■ Other service uses determined by the director to be oriented towards, and clearly related to, office workers in the surrounding area. These restrictions were inadvertently deleted from the municipal code in a prior zoning code clean-up ordinance. The proposed amendment would reestablish the restrictions. Chanter 6 - Industrial Zones Permitted Uses. The ordinance corrects an ESMC Section reference related to emergency shelter development standards. Chapter 7 - Overlay Districts (ESMC Chapter 15-7) Mixed -Use Overlay (MU-0) Zone (ESMC Article 15-7C). The MU Overlay was established in 2024 as part of the larger Housing Element rezoning effort. In the last two years, staff has identified certain standards that need clarification. o Maximum permitted FAR for commercial uses. The ESMC specifies the maximum permitted residential density (75 du/ac) in the MU-0 Zone, but is silent on the permitted commercial density. The proposed amendment clarifies that the maximum permitted FAR is that of the underlying zone. Page 90 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 9of12 o Building frontage limitations. The ESMC establishes a maximum building frontage of 140 feet along a street. The proposed amendment clarifies that the standard applies to the entire building width along a street -facing property line, not segments of a building. The intent of the standard and the proposed amendment is to ensure that new development projects are compatible in scale with existing development in the MU-0 Zone. o Massing modulation requirements for the top story. The ESMC limits the size of the top story of a new building to 70 percent of the largest story in the building. The proposed amendment specifies that the size referenced in this standard is measured in gross floor area. Housing Overlay (H-O) Zone (ESMC Article 15-7D). The Housing Overlay was established in 2024 as part of the larger Housing Element rezoning effort. In the last two years, staff has identified certain of its standards that need clarification. o Building frontage limitations. The ESMC establishes a maximum building frontage of 140 feet along a street. The proposed amendment clarifies that the standard applies to the entire building width along a street -facing property line, not segments of a building. The intent of the standard and the proposed amendment is to ensure that new development projects are more compatible in scale with existing development, especially in the H-O Zone. o Massing modulation requirements for the top story. As in the Mixed -Use Overlay, the Housing Overlay limits the size of the top story of a new building to 70 percent of the largest story in the building. The proposed amendment specifies that the size of a story is measured in gross floor area. Chapter 15 - Off -Street Parking and Loading Spaces (ESMC Chapter 15-15) Addition of Floor Area to a Dwelling Unit. ESMC Section 15-15-3(G) requires dwelling units that cumulatively add 1,000 square feet or more to comply with the minimum number of parking spaces required. The proposed amendment clarifies that the additional floor area referenced in this section is measured as gross floor area. Development Standards for Mixed -Uses (Section 15-15-5). In the last few years, the City completed rezoning efforts to establish the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan (2022), the Mixed -Use Overlay zone (2024) and expand the Downtown Specific Plan (2024). These rezoning efforts have expanded the areas where mixed -use developments can occur and the permitted density of those developments. However, the municipal code off-street parking standards have Page 91 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 10 of 12 not been updated to clearly address mixed -use developments. Most parking standards address residential and commercial uses separately, which can cause confusion and design challenges when those uses are combined in a single development project. In response, the Director and the Planning Commission recently approved an Administrative Determination to treat mixed -use projects as commercial uses for the purpose of parking standard compliance. The proposed amendment will incorporate this determination into the municipal code and will affect the following parking standards: o Parking Space Location o Parking Space Dimensions o Compact Spaces o Tandem Spaces o Driveway and Curb Cuts o Parking Structure Standards o Covered Parking o Residential Garage Openings o Vehicle Lifts Required Parking Spaces (Section 15-15-6) o Establishes a parking requirement for art, performing art, and fitness studios. The ESMC does not have a parking rate for these uses and, as mentioned earlier in this report, they do not have the same parking demand as large assembly uses or fitness centers/gyms. The proposed amendment establishes a parking requirement of 1 space for each 300 square feet, which is equal to the requirement for retail sales and service uses. A clear parking rate for these uses that is consistent with other compatible uses will facilitate the establishment of these community - serving uses. General Plan Consistency Zoning Code Section 15-1-1 (Purpose, Title) states that the Zoning Code is the primary tool for implementation of the goals, objectives, and policies of the El Segundo General Plan. Accordingly, the Planning Commission must find that the proposed Zone Text Amendment is consistent with those goals, objectives, and policies. Planning staff finds that the amendment is consistent with the following goals, objectives, and policies: The proposed ordinance is consistent with Objective LU3-2 of the General Plan Land Use Element in that it would simplify and clarify the development standards in the City's residential zones, while preserving the City's low -medium density residential nature; The proposed ordinance is consistent with Objective LU4-4 to provide areas where development has the flexibility to mix uses, in that it would simplify and clarify parking standards for mixed -use developments. Page 92 of 245 Zoning Code Clean-up Ordinance June 16, 2026 Page 11 of 12 The proposed ordinance is consistent with Goal ED2-2 of the General Plan Economic Development Element in that it would simplify and standardize development standards for businesses and residential uses, thereby helping streamline the development process for businesses and the residential community.

As required under Government Code § 65860, the ESMC amendments proposed by the Ordinance are consistent with the El Segundo General Plan as follows: A. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with Objective LU3-2 of the General Plan Land Use Element in that it would simplify and clarify the development standards in the city's residential zones, while preserving the City's low - medium density residential nature; B. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with Objective LU4-4 to provide areas where development has the flexibility to mix uses, in that it would simplify and clarify parking standards for mixed -use developments. C. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with Goal ED2-2 of the General Plan Economic Development Element in that would simplify and standardize development standards for businesses and residential uses and thereby helping streamline the development process for the business and the residential community. D. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with Program 3 of the General Plan Housing Element in that it would clarify the development standards and permit process for accessory dwelling units, junior accessory dwelling units, Urban Lot Splits, the Mixed -Use Overlay, and the Housing Overlay, and thereby assist in the production of affordable housing. SECTION 4: Zone Text Amendment Findings. In accordance with ESMC Chapter 15-27 (Amendments), and based on the findings set forth above, the proposed Ordinance is consistent with and necessary to carry out the purpose of the ESMC as follows: A. The Ordinance is consistent with the purpose of the ESMC, which is to serve the public health, safety, and general welfare and to provide the economic and social advantages resulting from an orderly planned use of land resources. B. The Ordinance is necessary to serve the public health, safety, and general welfare by facilitating the development process and ensure the orderly development of buildings, parking areas, landscaping, and the location of uses in the City. The intent of the Ordinance is to clarify and simplify definitions of terms, the permitted uses, and the development standards in various zones. It will facilitate and expedite the development process and provide economic and social benefits resulting from the orderly planned use of land resources, all in furtherance of the public health, safety, and general welfare. M Page 158 of 245 SECTION 5: Environmental Assessment. Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, and the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed Ordinance is exempt from further review. Specifically, it is exempt under CEQA Guidelines § 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in § 15378) because it has no potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly and CEQA Guidelines § 15601(b)(3) because the Ordinance includes minor changes to the zoning code; no development is authorized with this action, and it can seen that there is no possibility of significant environmental impacts. SECTION 6: Recommendations. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the Ordinance attached as Exhibit "A" which would implement the Zone Text Amendment. SECTION 7: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determination in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. SECTION 8: Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of the project is based on information available at the time of the decision. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. SECTION 9: This Resolution will remain effective unless and until superseded by a subsequent resolution. 5 Page 159 of 245 SECTION 10: The Commission secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to any person requesting a copy.

Continue discussion on the proposed City Charter ("Charter") 2. Provide direction on any changes to the proposed Charter. 3. Direct staff to include the proposed Charter on an upcoming agenda for consideration to submit the measure to the voters at the November 2026 election (per state law, the City Council must wait at least 21 days from the second public hearing). 4. Designate, if desirable, one or two council members to attend a town hall meeting to be held on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., to provide for additional public outreach regarding the potential of the City becoming a Charter City. 5. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The inclusion of a ballot measure to adopt a Charter at the November 3, 2026 election is estimated to cost approximately $2,500, as the City is already conducting an election, resulting in relatively lower additional costs. BACKGROUND: Legal Background Page 161 of 245 Charter City Proposal and Proposed Charter's Content June 16, 2026 Page 2 of 5 In California, there are two types of cities: general law cities and charter cities. By default, a California city is a general law city bound by California's general laws. In contrast, a charter city is one that has adopted a Charter which acts as a local constitution for the city and may only be adopted, amended or repealed by a majority of the voters in a city. The City of El Segundo is currently a general law city. State law requires the City Council to hold two public hearings on the proposal of a Charter and the proposed Charter's content. The Charter must be adopted by a majority vote of City voters at an election. DISCUSSION: The issue of the City becoming a charter city arose in 2024 when Redondo Beach and several other cities that had sued the state over Senate Bill 9 (SB9) received a favorable trial court judgment. (City of Redondo Beach v. Bonta (Cal. Ct. App., Nov. 12, 2025, No. B338990) 2025 WL 3158685.) The trial court held that SB9 was not applicable to the charter cities that filed the legal action because they were charter cities. While the case has not been finally decided, it raised the potential that a charter city would not be subject to the numerous housing laws being passed every year by the state legislature, which has significantly eroded local government's control over zoning and land use matters. While the case was on appeal, the legislature passed Senate Bill 450 (SB450) which amended certain language in SB9 to address the trial court's ruling and the appellate court then remanded the case to the trial court because its ruling relied on the language amended by SB450. The case is still pending in the trial court. The current draft Charter requires the City to continue adhering to state laws regarding City elections, elected official salaries and benefits, borrowing and expenditures of public funds, the Public Contracts Code (which include public works projects and prevailing wage requirements), and it requires that the City maintain its current "city council - city manager" form of government. Based upon the summary of potential charter city powers identified in the attached League of California Cities document, the City is choosing to follow state law as it applies to general law cities in every major category that charters generally cover except land use and zoning, as the City is attempting to maintain and regain control over those subject areas. Summary of Public Hearings At its regularly scheduled meeting on March 17, 2026, the City Council formally directed staff to initiate the public hearing process. The first public hearing was held on April 21, 2026 and the second public hearing was held on June 2, 2026. Page 162 of 245 Charter City Proposal and Proposed Charter's Content June 16, 2026 Page 3 of 5 At the April 21 public hearing (staff report with exhibits attached), the City Council considered the staff report that summarizes what the Charter currently contains and other options available to the City Council. The City Council also considered other subject areas that were not covered in the proposed Charter. On April 21, the City Council voted to add a ban on gifts of public funds. Accordingly, Section 304 was added. At that meeting, the City Attorney's office also made a few other suggested changes, including adding a new section relating to City Council Authority (Section 103) and adding clarifying language about local land use control (Section 500). At the June 2 public hearing (staff report with exhibits attached), the City Attorney's Office, in response to comments received, proposed adding some additional language to Section 303 and broadening that section to not only require the City to adhere to all current state laws, as may be amended from time to time, regarding any borrowing or expenditures of city funds but also to preclude gift of public funds. Given the rewording of Section 303, the language in Section 304 has been merged with Section 303, and Sections 304 and 305 have been renumbered. Section 600 was also reworded to make clear that the City will adhere to all existing, as may be amended from time to time, state laws regarding municipal elections and processes. While it was the City's intent prior to these amendments to adhere to all state laws on these subject matters, the changes were made to tighten up the language to address concerns raised by members of the public. In response to public comments received, the Council directed that the City hold additional meetings beyond the two hearings required by state law and conduct additional public outreach regarding the possibility of the City becoming a charter city. Accordingly, this item was placed on this Council agenda and the City will be holding a Town Hall meeting on June 24, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. In addition to the materials previously provided to the Council at prior Council Meetings and attached hereto, the League of California Cities (League) has a resource explaining the difference between general law and charter cities and which provides other charter city information. That document has been attached as an exhibit to this report. Issues Raised by the Council at June 2nd Council Meeti Options re Purchasing Laws There was a request by Council Member Boyles to explain the City's options regarding possibly drafting some of its own purchasing laws in the draft Charter, which would differ from state law applicable to general law cities. The City already has a fair amount of latitude as a general law city and has adopted its own purchasing laws. There are generally three types of contracts a city enters: purchase of goods and services (non- professional); professional service agreements; and public works contracts. Page 163 of 245 Charter City Proposal and Proposed Charter's Content June 16, 2026 Page 4 of 5 There are a couple of areas where state law preempts a general law city from drafting its own laws to the extent they conflict with state law. First, general law cities are required to follow the public contracting code regarding public works projects. For public works projects, the two significant requirements are that general law cities must award public works contracts to the lowest responsible bidder, and prevailing wages must be paid to laborers working on the projects. Prevailing wage can increase the cost of a public works project from 15% to 40% depending on the type of labor used for the project. The state has effectively mandated that a charter city pay prevailing wages as the failure to do so results in the loss of gas tax allocation and access to state grants. It is possible that a charter city could come up with a different process for awarding public works contracts, but research would need to be done to determine options that are available. If the Council wants to pursue this, then it is not likely that the Charter could be ready in time to place it on the November 2026 ballot and it would have to wait until November 2028 as replacing the Public Contract Code is a significant amount of work. The other area where there is some minimal preemption by state law regarding contracting is when contracting for certain professional services (Government Code Section 4526), such as architects, engineers, accountants, etc. general law cities are required to give more weight to the quality of the services offered than the price of the services. There is no exact formula for this selection process, so it still allows for a fair amount of latitude for general law cities. Notably, solid waste contracts are not required to go through any type of process, competitive or otherwise, when a city awards a solid waste franchise to a solid waste hauler. These are often the biggest financial agreement a city has with an outside service provider. El Segundo did award its residential solid waste franchise to the lowest bidder. Currently, the draft Charter provides that the City will comply specifically with Public Contracts Code which includes public works contracts and prevailing wages and it also provides that all state expenditure laws will be followed. Review of Other Charter Cities According to the League, 126 of the 482 cities in the state are charter cities. To prepare the attached proposed draft, staff in the City Attorney's office evaluated over 30 different charters. Staff focused its review mainly on shorter and simpler Charter documents, including the cities of Port Hueneme, Palmdale, Cathedral City and Cerritos. In limiting its review of shorter and simpler Charter documents, staff was mindful that the Council's impetus for considering the potential of becoming a charter city was largely based upon the desire to regain control over planning and zoning within the City. If the City Council desires a lengthier charter or a more exhaustive comparison of other cities' charters, the City Council can direct staff to do so, but staff may not be able to prepare the final document for Council's review by the County's deadline for the November 2026 ballot. Page 164 of 245 Charter City Proposal and Proposed Charter's Content June 16, 2026 Page 5 of 5 Next Steps If the City Council desires to continue with this process and a simpler Charter, as proposed, the next step would be to include the proposed Charter on an upcoming City Council agenda, so that it may be officially submitted to the City's voters at the November 2026 General Election. Per state law, the City Council must wait at least 21 days after the June 2 public hearing before submitting the Charter to the voters, so the earliest regular meeting date is the City Council's July 7, 2026 regular meeting. The deadline to submit ballot measures to the County for the ballot is Friday, August 7, 2026.

Becoming a charter city allows voters to determine how their city government is organized and, with respect to municipal affairs, enact legislation different than that adopted by the state. In 2001, the Institute for Local Government, the League's research arm, teamed up with the Hastings Public Law Research Institute to create an informational resource for those interested in understanding more about this special form of local control. The League is grateful to everyone who helped with this project including Phillip Hall of UC Hastings and the Hastings Public Law Research Institute; Karl Berger of Jenkins & Hogin LLP; Betsy Strauss (Attorney at Law); John Cook (Former City Attorney, Indian Wells); and Harvey Levine (City Attorney, Fremont). In 2007, the League updated these resources and the new documents can be found below. The League would like to thank Hilda Cantu Montoy (Attorney at Law) for her help with the update. Charter Cities: A Quick Summary for the Press and Researchers The following summary was drafted by the League of California Cities' legal staff, in an attempt to give the press and research communities a primer on some frequently asked questions regarding charter cities. Charter Cities vs. General Law Cities — The Basics The California Constitution gives cities the power to become charter cities., The benefit of becoming a charter city is that charter cities have supreme authority over "municipal affairs."2 In other words, a charter city's law concerning a municipal affair will trump a state law governing the same topics Cities that have not adopted a charter are general law cities. General law cities are bound by the state's general law, even with respect to municipal affairs. Of California's 478 cities, 108 of them are charter cities. The charter city provision of the State Constitution, commonly referred to as the "home -rule" provision, is based on the principle that a city, rather than the state, is in the best position to know what it needs and how to satisfy those needs.4 The home -rule provision allows charter cities to conduct their own business and control their own affairs.5 A charter maximizes local control. A city charter, in effect a city's constitution, need not set out every municipal affair the city would like to govern. So long as the charter contains a declaration that the city intends to avail itself of the full power provided by the California Constitution, any city ordinance that regulates a municipal affair will govern over a general law of the states Defining `Municipal Affairs' Determining what is and is not a "municipal affair" is not always straightforward. The California Constitution does not define "municipal affair." It does, however, set out a nonexclusive list of four "core" Page 1 of 18 Page 182 of 245 Information from the nonpartisan California League of Cities: http://www. cacities. orp/chartercities categories that are, by definition, municipal affairs. These categories are 1) regulation of the "city police force"; 2) "subgovernment in all or part of a city"; 3) "conduct of city elections"; and 4) "the manner in which ... municipal officers [are] elected."8 Beyond this list, it is up to the courts to determine what is and is not a municipal affair. To determine if a matter is a municipal affair, a court will ask whether there are good reasons, grounded on statewide interests, for the state law to preempt a local law.9 In other words, courts will ask whether there is a need for "paramount state control" in the particular area of law.lo The Legislature's intent when enacting a specific law is not determinative.11 The concept of "municipal affairs" is fluid and may change over time.12 Issues that are municipal affairs today could become areas of statewide concern in the future.13 Nonetheless, there are some areas that courts have consistently classified as municipal affairs. These include: • Municipal election matters14 • Land use and zoning decisions (with some exceptions)15 • How a city spends its tax dollars16 • Municipal contracts, provided the charter or a city ordinance exempts the city from the Public Contract Code, and the subject matter of the bid constitutes a municipal affair.17 Thus, a charter may exempt a city from the State's competitive bidding statutes. Likewise, there are some areas that courts have consistently classified as areas of statewide concern, including: • Traffic and vehicle regulation18 • Tort claims against a governmental entity,9 • Regulation of school systems20 How to Become a Charter City To become a charter city, a city must adopt a charter. There are two ways to adopt a charter: • The city's voters elect a charter commission.21 The commission has the responsibility of drafting and debating the charter. • The governing board of the city, on its own motion, drafts the charter.22 In either case, the charter is not adopted by the city until it is ratified by a majority vote of the city's voters.23 For more information about charter cities, please visit the "Charter Cities" section of the League's Web site at http://www.cacities.orp/chartercities. 2 Cal.

Pub. Cont. Code § 20162. Such contracts must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Pub. Cont. Code § 20162. If city elects subject itself to uniform construction accounting procedures, less formal procedures may be available for contracts less than $100,000. 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). Historically, charter cities have not been bound by state law prevailing -wage requirements so long as the project is a municipal affair, and not one funded by state or federal grants. Vial v. City of San Diego, 122 Cal. App. 3d 346, 348 (1981). However, there is a growing trend on the part of the courts and the Legislature to expand the applicability of prevailing wages to charter cities under an analysis that argues that the payment of prevailing wages is a matter of statewide concern. The California Supreme Court currently has before them a case that will provide the opportunity to decide whether prevailing wage is a municipal affair or whether it has become a matter of statewide concern.

Page 9 of 18 Page 190 of 245 Information from the nonpartisan California League of Cities: httallwww. cacities. org/chartercities Foundational aspects of charter cities What is the Constitutional Framework for Charter Cities? Article XI, section 3(a) of the California Constitution authorizes the adoption of a city charter and provides such a charter has the force and effect of state law. Article XI, section 5(a), the "home rule" provision, affirmatively grants to charter cities supremacy over "municipal affairs." However, the California Constitution does not define the term "municipal affair." What are "Municipal Affairs?" The home rule provision of the California Constitution authorizes a charter city to exercise plenary authority over municipal affairs, free from any constraint imposed by the general law and subject only to constitutional limitations. See Cal. Const. art. XI § 5(a); Ex Parte Braun, 141 Cal. 204, 209 (1903); Bishop v. City of San Jose, 1 Cal. 3d 56, 61 (1969); Comm. of Seven Thousand v. Super. Ct. (City of Irvine), 45 Cal.3d 491 (1988). How Do the Courts Distinguish Between Municipal and Statewide Concerns? Whether a given activity is a municipal affair over which a city has sovereignty, or a statewide concern, over which the legislature has authority, is a legal determination for the courts to resolve. Thus, the determination of whether a given activity is a municipal affair or statewide concern is done on a case -by -case basis. The court's determination will depend on the particular facts and circumstances of each case. See In Re Hubbard, 62 Cal. 2d 119, 128 (1964). Keep in mind that the concept of "municipal affairs" is a fluid one that changes over time as local issues become statewide concerns. See Issac v. City of Los Angeles, 66 Cal. App. 4th 586 (1998). What Activities Have the Courts Classified As Municipal Affairs? There are some areas that the courts have consistently classified as municipal affairs. Examples include the following: • Municipal Election Matters. See Mackey v. Thiel, 262 Cal. App. 2d 362 (1968). • Procedures for Initiative, Referendum and Recall. See Lawing v. Faul, 227 Cal. App. 2d 23, 29 (1964). • Procedures for Adopting Ordinances. See Brougher v. Board of Public Works, 205 Cal. 426 (1928). • Compensation of City Officers and Employees. Cal. Const. art.

App. 3d 553 (1976) (labor relations is not a municipal affair; Charter cities are subject to the Meyers-Milias Brown Act. Cal. Gov't Code § 3500. • Processes Associated with City Contracts. See First Street Plaza Partners v. City of Los Angeles, 65 Cal. App. 4th 650 (1998); but see Domar Electric, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 41 Cal. App. 4th 810 (1995) (state law establishing employment policy may preempt local regulation of bidding criteria).

Page 11 of 18 Page 192 of 245 Information from the nonpartisan California League of Cities: httallwww. cacities. org/chartercities What is a charter? A city charter is a unique document that, in many ways, acts like a constitution for the city adopting it. It can only be adopted, amended or repealed by a majority vote of a city's voters. The primary advantage of a charter is that it allows greater authority for a city's governance than that provided by state law. For example, a city may tailor its organization and elective offices, taking into account the unique local conditions and needs of the community. A charter transfers the power to adopt legislation affecting municipal affairs from the state legislature to the city adopting it. A city operating under a charter can acquire full control over its municipal affairs. These affairs are unaffected by the general laws passed by the state legislature on the same subject matters. This, in effect, gives the local voters more control over their local government and the affairs of the city. However, a city operating under a charter is still subject to the general laws, as passed by the state legislature, on affairs that are not municipal in nature, and are of statewide concern (e.g., California Vehicle Code). It is the scope of the term "municipal affairs" that provides the opportunity for uncertainty. No easy analytical test exists. The threshold issue is whether there is a conflict between state law and a charter city enactment. The next issue is whether the state regulation addressed an issue of "state wide concern." Courts analyze these conflicts on a case - by -case basis. Page 12 of 18 Page 193 of 245 Information from the nonpartisan California League of Cities: http://www. cacities. org/chartercities What is in a charter? While a city charter is not required to have any particular provisions in it, a city will often reserve for itself the greatest amount of power it can when it adopts a charter. To accomplish this goal, the charter must include a declaration that it is the intention of the city to avail itself of the full power provided by the state constitution to charter cities. However, the city is not required to extend the breadth of its charter any further than it wishes. Some of the common areas that are explicitly regulated in a charter are: • The date and conduct of city elections; • Regulations on the appointment of municipal officials; • The terms and payment of municipal officials; • The process for removal of municipal officials; • Form of government; • Budget adoption; • The number, pay, qualifications, and appointment of deputies, clerks, and other employees that each municipal officer will have; • Sub -government in all or part of the city; • The tenure of office for deputies, clerks, and other employees; • The process for removal of such deputies, clerks, and other employees; and • The constitution, regulation, and government of the local police force. A number of California cities' charters are available online. The National Civic League also has a model charter protect. Page 13 of 18 Page 194 of 245 Information from the nonpartisan California League of Cities: httallwww. cacities. org/chartercities Process used to adopt a charter There are two ways to draft and adopt a city charter. The first is to elect a charter commission. The commission then has the responsibility of debating over the provisions and the drafting of the charter. The other alternative allows the governing board of the city, on its own motion, to draft the charter. In either case, the charter is not adopted by the city until it is ratified by a majority vote of the city's voters. When using the charter commission approach, the first step is to elect the commission. The vote to elect a charter commission is called for by either a majority vote of the city's governing body or by a petition signed by not less than fifteen percent of the registered voters within the city. If the formation of a charter commission is requested by a petition, the authority in charge of the city's registration records must verify the signatures on the petition. The expense of this verification must be paid for by the city's governing board. If the petition is verified, the city's governing board must call for an election in accordance with sections 1000 and 10403 of the California Elections Code. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34452. Once it has been decided that a charter commission election will take place, candidates for commissioners must be nominated. Candidates for the office of charter commissioner are nominated either in the same manner as officers of the city or by petition. A candidate for charter commissioner must be a registered voter of the city. After the election of commissioners, any vacancy on the commission will be filled by a mayoral appointment. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34452. At an election for charter commission members, the voters will vote first on the following question: "Shall a charter commission be elected to propose a new charter?" After voting on this question, the voters will then vote for the charter commission candidates. If a majority of the voters vote for the formation of a charter commission, then the top fifteen candidates for the office of charter commissioner will be organized as the city's charter commission. No commission will be formed if a majority of voters vote against the election of a charter commission. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34453. Once formed, the charter commission will have the responsibility of developing the city's charter. After a simple majority of commissioners have decided that the proposed charter is appropriate, they file the charter with the city's clerk in preparation for a vote by the city's electorate. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34455. However, instead of sending the whole charter at once, periodically the commission may send portions of the charter to the city's electorate for a vote. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34462. After the charter (or portions of it) has been filed, it must be copied in type greater than 10 point and either mailed to all the voters of the city or made available to those citizens who wish to review it before the election. The city may show the difference between existing provisions of law and the new charter through the use of distinguished type styles, but this is not required. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34456. After the charter has been filed with the city clerk, the city's governing board must decide whether to call a special election or to wait until the next established municipal election to submit the charter to the voters. If the city's governing board determines that a Page 14 of 18 Page 195 of 245 Information from the nonpartisan California League of Cities: http://www. cacities. org/chartercities special election should be held, then they must call for that special election within 14 days of the charter being filed. The special election must be set at least 95 days after the date from which the special election was called. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34457. In any case, the charter commission must send the charter to the voters within two years of the vote that formed the commission. Upon the expiration of the two-year time period, the commission is abolished. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34462. The alternative to electing a charter commission is to have the city's governing board develop and draft the charter. An election to decide on the adoption of a charter may be called by initiative or the city council. See Cal. Const. art. XI, § 3. On its own motion, the city's governing board may propose a charter and submit it to the voters for adoption. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34458. With this option, the governing board can call a special election or allow the charter to be voted on at any established election date, as long as that election date is at least 88 days after the proposed charter was filed with the city clerk. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34458. As a practical matter, an election may have to be called sooner than 88 days before the election in order to meet certain notice and ballot printing deadlines. In either case, the majority of voters must vote in favor of the proposed charter for it to be ratified. The charter will not go into effect until it has been filed and accepted by the Secretary of State. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34459. After a charter is approved by a majority vote of the voters, the mayor and city clerk shall certify that the charter was submitted to the voters of the city and that it was approved by a majority vote. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34460. One copy of the approved charter shall be filed with the County Recorder's office and one shall be kept in the City's archive. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34460. A third copy of the charter must be submitted to the Secretary of State with (1) copies of all publications and notices in connection with the calling of the election; (2) certified copies of any arguments for or against the charter proposal which were mailed to the voters; (3) a certified abstract of the vote at the election on the charter. See Cal. Gov't Code section 34460. Page 15 of 18 Page 196 of 245 Information from the nonpartisan California League of Cities: httallwww. cacities. org/chartercities How to amend or repeal a charter If a citizens group, or the city's governing body, wishes to amend or repeal a portion of the city's charter, the steps remain largely the same as they are for drafting a charter. There are, however, two notable exceptions. First, the petition calling for the repeal or amendment needs only ten percent of the electorate's signatures, instead of the previous fifteen percent. See Cal. Elec. Code sections 9215 and 9255. The other notable difference has to do with the charter itself. A city charter may establish different rules for the municipal elections process than those laid out by the state legislature in the Elections Code. If this is the case, the city's charter will govern the elections process used to appeal or amend the city's charter, instead of the general laws laid out in the Elections Code.

Hold a public hearing on the proposed City Charter ("Charter") and receive public comment on the proposed Charter. 2. Provide direction on any changes to the proposed Charter, such as whether to adhere to state law for topics listed in the "Discussion" section below where a charter city would typically be exempt. 3. Direct staff to schedule a second public hearing for June 2, 2026. 4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: The inclusion of a ballot measure to adopt a city charter at the November 3, 2026 election is estimated to cost approximately $2,500, as the City is already conducting an election, resulting in relatively lower additional costs. BACKGROUND: In California, there are two types of cities: general law cities and charter cities. By default, a California city is a general law city bound by California's general laws. In contrast, a charter city is one that has adopted a "charter" which acts as a local constitution for the city and may only be adopted, amended or repealed by a majority of the voters in a city. The City of El Segundo is currently a general law city. State law requires the City Council to hold two public hearings on the proposal of a city charter and the proposed charter's content. A city charter must be adopted by a Page 200 of 245 Charter City Proposal April 21, 2026 Page 2 of 5 majority vote of City voters at an election. At its regularly scheduled meeting on March 17, 2026, the City Council directed staff to schedule this public hearing required for a ballot measure proposing the adoption of a charter at the November 3, 2026, general election. QR19111*3Lei I,I Charter cities generally have the benefit of "home rule" over certain activities considered "municipal affairs" that can allow for a charter city's action to be valid even if it is at odds with a state statute. A charter city's action may not involve a matter of "statewide concern." The following chart compares municipal affairs (which are within the purview of charter cities) and matters of statewide concern (which are within the purview of the state): Municipal Affairs (authority of Charter Cities) Matters of Statewide Concern (authority of State) • Regulation of the city police force, • Traffic and vehicle regulation, • Subgovernment in all or part of a • Tort claims against a governmental city, entity, • Conduct of city elections, and the • The Ralph M. Brown Act open manner in which municipal officers meeting laws, are elected, • The Meyers-MiIias-Brown Act • Planning and zoning, regarding employee organization, • Public contracting and bidding, The California Environmental • Gifts of public funds, Quality Act, • City council procedures, • The California Public Records Act, employment and compensation, and • City's form of government, • Eminent domain. • Prevailing wages. Proposed Charter The proposed Charter addresses most of these matters considered to be municipal affairs. For purposes of efficiency and continuity, however, the City Council may consider adhering to general law requirements. The following is a list of subject areas that are currently in the Charter; further below is a list of other subject areas that are not currently within the Charter but could be included.

Section 601 — Elected Provides that the City will The City Council can Officials adhere to state law for exempt itself from state law purposes of elected official compensation limits. compensation and benefits. Other subiect areas that are not currentiv included within Dr000sed Charter: Gifts of Public Funds: The constitutional ban on gifts of public funds does not apply to charter cities. A charter does not need to expressly exempt a city from the ban on gifts of public funds. The proposed Charter does not include any language relating to the topic of gifts of public funds. The City may want to consider including languages stating that the City will be subject to the constitutional ban on gifts of public funds to avoid any use of taxpayer funds that does not serve a municipal purpose as defined by state law. City Council Procedures: The City may establish its own quorum requirements, procedures for passing ordinances, such as requiring a second reading, and the procedures for adopting, amending or repealing resolutions are municipal affairs. However, some supermajority requirements, such as those required in pre - condemnation proceedings, still apply to charter cities. Although the proposed Charter does not include language relating to City Council procedures, pursuant to the Charter, the City may still adopt its own policies. There are currently no identified concerns relating to the City's establishing its own City Council procedures. Employment and Compensation: The appointment, qualifications, compensation and removal of city employees are generally municipal affairs. A city charter may establish standards, requirements, and procedures including compensation and terms and conditions of employment for personnel. However, health and welfare benefits are Page 203 of 245 Charter City Proposal April 21, 2026 Page 5 of 5 subject to certain limitations. Staff does not recommend including any language that would permit the City to vary from state law and laws that the electorate have put in place. This would require meeting and conferring with the various bargaining groups and likely raise numerous concerns. Next Steps State law requires that at least two public hearings, no less than 30 days apart, be held prior to placing a city charter measure on the ballot. (Gov. Code § 34458(b).). If the City Council desires to continue with this process, the next step would be to schedule the second public hearing on June 2, 2026.

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.

Hold a public hearing on the proposed City Charter ("Charter") and receive public comment on the proposed Charter. 2. Provide direction on any changes to the proposed Charter. 3. Direct staff to include the proposed charter on an upcoming agenda for consideration to submit the measure to the voters at the November 2026 election (per state law, the City Council must wait at least 21 days from the second public hearing). 4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. 2&*91_101►,UTITOA6 The inclusion of a ballot measure to adopt a city charter at the November 3, 2026 election is estimated to cost approximately $2,500, as the City is already conducting an election, resulting in relatively lower additional costs. Y_TO]:(c`]:Wl].113 In California, there are two types of cities: general law cities and charter cities. By default, a California city is a general law city bound by California's general laws. In contrast, a charter city is one that has adopted a "charter" which acts as a local constitution for the city and may only be adopted, amended or repealed by a majority of the voters in a city. Page 218 of 245 Charter City Proposal and Proposed Charter's Content June 2, 2026 Page 2 of 3 The City of El Segundo is currently a general law city. State law requires the City Council to hold two public hearings on the proposal of a city charter and the proposed charter's content. A city charter must be adopted by a majority vote of City voters at an election. At its regularly scheduled meeting on March 17, 2026, the City Council directed staff to initiate the public hearing process. The first public hearing was held on April 21, 2026, and this is the second public hearing. DISCUSSION: At the April 21 public hearing, the City Council considered the staff report that summarizes what the Charter currently contains and other options available to the City Council. The City Council also considered other subject areas that were not covered in the proposed Charter. The April 21 staff report (without exhibits) is attached to this staff report. On April 21, the City Council voted to add a ban on gifts of public funds. Accordingly, Section 304 was added. The City Attorney's office also made a few other suggested changes, including adding a new section relating to City Council Authority (Section 103) and adding clarifying language about local land use control (Section 500). Such changes are reflected in the attached draft. Next Steps If the City Council desires to continue with this process, the next step would be to include the proposed Charter on an upcoming City Council agenda, so that it may be officially submitted to the voters at the November 2026 General Election. Per state law, the City Council must wait at least 21 days after the public hearing before submitting the charter to the voters, so the earliest regular meeting date is the City Council's July 7, 2026 regular meeting. The deadline to submit ballot measures to the County for the ballot is 88 days before the election, or August 7, 2026. 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. Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Page 219 of 245 Charter City Proposal and Proposed Charter's Content June 2, 2026 Page 3 of 3 Strategy A: Identify opportunities for new revenues, enhancement of existing revenues, and exploration of potential funding options to support programs and projects.

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.

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.

Adopt a resolution requesting the County of Los Angeles to consolidate the City's general municipal election on November 3, 2026 with the statewide general election to be held on the same date. 3. Adopt a resolution adopting requirements for candidate statements filed with the City Clerk to be included with voter information for the November 3, 2026 general municipal election. 4.

The FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget includes the cost of conducting the elections. BACKGROUND: Under El Segundo Municipal Code § 1-4A-1, general municipal elections are to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in each even -numbered year. The proposed resolutions would call the City's general municipal election for November 3, 2026, for the election of two (2) Council members; request the County of Los Angeles (the "County") to consolidate the City's election with the statewide general election of the same date; and establish requirements for candidate statements filed with the City Clerk for the two (2) Council seats. Page 235 of 245 Resolutions for November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election June 16, 2026 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION: Three resolutions are proposed for City Council consideration and approval. The first would call the City's general municipal election to be held on November 3, 2026, in accordance with Elections Code § 1301, to fill two (2) City Council seats for full four- year terms and up to two ballot measures. To consolidate the City's general municipal election with the statewide general election on the same date, the City must submit a resolution to the County requesting consolidation and its provision of election services. The second proposed resolution makes this request. The third resolution establishes requirements for candidate statements to be included in voter election information in accordance with Election Code §§ 13307-13312. Notably, this will be the first election in which candidates will have a choice to either have their candidate statement: (i) printed in the hard copy sample ballot/voter guide; or (ii) electronically distributed on the website of the County's election website (www.lavote.net). Each candidate must choose either option (i) or (ii) but cannot choose both. The nomination filing period begins Monday, July 13, 2026, and ends Friday, August 07, 2026. The City Clerk's office will manage and oversee the candidate filing process. The County will conduct the review and counting of ballots for the election. Results will be continuously updated and displayed on the County's website at www.lavote.gov through election night and during the official canvass of votes. On November 27, 2026, the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk is tentatively scheduled to certify the election results, including those for the City. On December 01, 2026, the County Board of Supervisors is tentatively scheduled to declare the election officially concluded. The County will provide the City Clerk with a final declaration of results and the City Council will likely be able to certify the election results and administer oaths of office at its December 15, 2026, regular meeting.
