Presentation of the Fire /Life Safety Report Fire Chief Larry Sheldon outlined the background of the Fire /Life Safety Report. Stated that at the budget hearing on June 15, 1982, Council appropriated funding to enable the Fire Department to conduct an extensive planning effort and then provide council with information to make decisions on what services the Fire Department should provide for the changing community. The committee that prepared the report was comprised of 16 Council- appointed community members, the Fire Department and the consulting firm of Ryland Research, Inc. Dick Patterson, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee, gave a profile of the committee and the committee's expectations. Bob Burns of Ryland Research, Inc. outlined the planning process used and enumerated the areas the committee addressed in analy- zing the environment. Mr. Patterson stated the committee divided the Fire Department into the following divisions: fire suppression, fire preven- tion, emergency medical services, disaster response, support services and administration. He then listed the goals and objectives the committee addressed for each division. He also outlined the general criteria that was used in making their recommendations; thereafter listing those recommendations. Mr. Patterson showed the proposed adjustments that would have been made by 1988 at the administrative level and adjustments in the station organizational structure (including the potential of a Station 3 in the southeast corner of the city). Mr. Patterson then outlined the goals, objectives and criteria that was used in the funding analysis. Stated a conclusion of the committee was that the basis for analyzing the implications of f ire /life safety is square footage. Stated further that the committee divided the community into 5 segments: residential, Main and Grand retail, refinery, commercial /industrial, and transient. The committee recommended an annual expense budget of $4,560,000 with the residential and transient segments being funded by a fire /life safety account within the General Fund. The other segments of the community would be assessed a one -time build -up or build -out fee of 11C per square foot. (The build -up fee assessed on property that was developed during 1968 -1983; the build -out fee assessed on property that will be developed between 1984 - 1988.) In addition, the Main and Grand retail, refinery and commercial /industrial segments of the community will be charged an annual fire /life safety service fee of 110" per square foot. Mr. Patterson then gave some alternatives to the master plan recommended by the committee. Thereafter, he answered Council's questions relating to the Fire /Life Safety Report. The Council questioned why E1 Segundo would receive a high ISO insurance grade. if the City were- deficient in some areas of fire/ life safety. Mr. Burns of Ryland Research stated the grading schedule is intended to serve the insurance industry in determining the extent to which the City is protecting the insurance company's investment, and would not necessarily be used as criteria in determining how well the City is doing in fire protection in general. -2- Council Minutes August 1fi, 1983 ggEi Mayor Bue inquired if other cities had hazardous material (hazmat) units. Mr. Patterson answered that while some private companies have some hazardous material containment equipment, the closest hazmat fire department unit is located in Carson, California. Fire Chief Sheldon then clarified that hazardous materials in this context referred to Class A poisons, reactive materials, pyrophorics, etc. Councilman Armstrong suggested determining whether other cities with hazmat problems would be willing to participate in funding a hazmat unit. Councilwoman Synadinos questioned whether it would be mandatory that the unit be included in mutual aid thereby creating the possibility of the unit being out of our community a good deal of the time. Mr. Patterson responded that the committee felt the City could exclude any portion of the mutual aid. After further discussion, Mayor Bue thanked the Fire /Life Safety Committee for the fine work they did in compiling their report. The Mayor also stated that the committee, having completed their study, is now dissolved. He then referred the report to City staff for their review and recommendations in preparation of a public hearing. RECESS At the hour of 8 :54 p.m., the Mayor declared a five - minute recess.

At 9:01 p.m, Councilman Siadek entered and took his seat at the council table. C. Report Regarding E1 Segundo Blvd. Traffic Control Project Director of Public Works Glickman gave background history on this study. Thereafter, Traffic Consultant George Villegas explained that the purpose of the travel time and delay study was to determine whether manual control by civilian police officers would reduce traffic congestion along E1 Segundo Boulevard between Sepulveda and Isis. Stated the manual control was conducted April 11 - 22,_ 1983 between 3 :00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at six signalized intersections-in the east- bound direction of E1 Segundo Boulevard. Mr. Villegas stated the results of the travel time and delay study were: • The average time for the corridor (Sepulveda to Isis eastbound) prior to the experiment was 8 minutes 56 seconds; during manual control, the average time was 7 minutes 14 seconds - a savings of 1.26 minutes. • The average speeds increased 6% from 11.6 mph to 12.2 mph. • The travel volumes increased by 4 %. • The average vehicle .delay rate decreased by 23 %. Rob Blanche, a transportation planner with E1 Segundo Employers Association, outlined how the use of manual control affected driver attitude. He stated a travel survey was prepared and distributed to 20,000 employees who work along E1 Segundo Boulevard. Within 2 weeks, 10,000 of the surveys were returned, which indicates a high level of interest in the travel project. -3- Council Minutes August 16, 1983 X 9!� . Af The survey's questions and responses were: (1) Do you feel the use of traffic officers on E1 Segundo Boulevard has reduced congestion? 62% thought it significantly reduced congestion. (2) How has the use of traffic officers on E1 Segundo Boule- vard affected your travel time? 60% thought it reduced travel time (with an average of 6 minutes listed as the savings in time). (3) Do you think this method of traffic control is a good use of resources? 67% thought it was a good use of resources. Captain Ray Lewis of the E1 Segundo Police Department explained that the Police Department's initial role was to identify locations to be involved in the demonstration project and in the recommended program. Stated the Police Department then identified manpower needs, attached those needs into dollar figures, and separated the costs into what the City might have to pay and what participating major employers would pay. Stated they then developed an organizational sub - structure and outlined responsibilities within the structure. Captain Lewis stated the Police Department recommends the City hire 2 full -time positions (one to be a traffic control super- visor; the other to be a traffic control officer). Stated their time would be divided between parking enforcement and traffic control. Stated they also recommend the hiring of 8 part -time positions which would be provided for and funded by the major industries involved, and administered and supervised by the City of E1 Segundo. Councilman Armstrong questioned whether the program could be run completely with part -time employees. Captain Lewis stated the program basically would be handled by part -time employees, excluding the two recommended full -time positions who would be replacing two cadet positions that are presently allocated for parking enforcement. Don Torluemke of the E1 Segundo Employer's Association responded to Mayor Bue's question regarding the return of the City's investment in this project. Stated that while the employees would be on their own time since they would be traveling home, there would be a savings of time to those technical employees that take work home. Stated also that the employers who would potentially be involved in the funding have responded favorably to this project. Thereafter, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ARMSTRONG that the City of E1 Segundo budget $40,615 for the Traffic Control Project contingent upon private industry's participation in the funding of said project and that said pro - ject be reviewed annually.

City Manager Jones explained the proposed resolution requests the Southern California Association of Governments appropriate funds to do a joint economic study of potential development around the interchange locations on the I -105 Fwy. The Economic Development Committee of the Freeway has identified that as a potential area for future development but indicated it does not have the funds to pursue it and, therefore, asked that each city along the freeway route join in requesting SCAG to fund the study. Councilwoman Synadinos stated she was not convinced that this is a necessary project and it would not be in the City of E1 Segundo's best interest. Councilman Armstrong explained that this project was not necessarily relative to the freeway, but a redevelopment program within those particular areas to develop industry in the cities along the transit stations.

Director of Planning Romaniello, a member of the Economic Development Committee, explained the objectives of the pro- posed project.
