Public Hearing Regarding Chevron, U.S.A., Inc.'s Request for Unclassified Use Permit No. 84 -1 for the Excavation of Two-Borrow Pits in the Chevron Refinery Property The Mayor announced that this was.:the.time and place heretofore -fixed for subject hearing and inquired if proper notice of the hearing had been given, to which !�! the City Clerk replied proof of publication was in I• her file.. The Mayor directed that the file become a part of this hearing. He then inquired if any written communications had been received. City Clerk Burrowes stated none -had been received in her office. Planning Director Nicholas Romaniello stated that in an effort to restore beach front property that had been lost during the storms last year, Chevron has had to build a groin along the coast. This project has required more sand than was available along the shoreline, therefore, Chevron has had to use sand from their refinery site. Pursuant to the City's code, Chevron is requesting the unclassified use permit so they can excavate deeper than two feet. Mr. Romaniello stated the Planning Commission, in their Resolution No. 2061 recommended conditional approval of the permit. The Mayor opened the matter for public testimony. No one came forward. MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, to close the public hearing. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Thereafter, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, to adopt the following resolution, entitled: RESOLUTION NO. 3248 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY �:OUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALI- FORNIA, GRANTING AN UNCLASSIFIED USE PERMIT (NO. 84 -1) TO CHEVRON, U.S.A., INC., FOR THE EXCAVATION OF TWO BORROW PITS IN THE CHEVRON REFINERY PROPERTY which was read by Acting City Attorney Colin Leonard. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. B. Public Hearing Regarding Rockwell International's Request for Amendment to Ordinance No. 844 for Helistop Operations Atop an 11 -Story Building on Imperial Highway The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for subject hearing and inquired if proper notice of the hearing had been given, to which the City Clerk replied proof of publication and mailing of the notices were in her file. The Mayor directed that the file become a part of this hearing. He then inquired if any written communications had been received. City Clerk Burrowes stated none had been received in her office. Mr. Romaniello reported this matter relates to Rock- well International's request to amend an existing permit that currently prohibits helistop operations one -half hour before sunrise and one -half hour after sunset. The amended request by Chevron would prohi- bit operations between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Mr. Romaniello stated the Planning Commission changed the I prohibited hours to 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. and have ( recommended approval of the unclassified use permit with the conditions outlined in the staff report. Mayor Bue then opened the matter for public testimony. No one came forward; therefore, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN ARMSTRONG, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED to close the public hearing. After discussion, Acting City Attorney Leonard presented the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 844 GRANTING AN UNCLASSIFIED USE PERMIT FOR OPERATION OF A HELISTOP- LIMITED USE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2200/2230 EAST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY which title was read. Upon motion duly made and carried, further reading of the ordinance was waived. Thereafter, said ordinance was introduced by Councilman Johnson. C. Public Hearing Regarding Kilroy Industries' Appeal of the Planning Commission's Denial of Kilroy's Request to Amend Precise Plan No. 2 -81 The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for subject hearing and inquired if proper notice of the hearing had been given, to which -2- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 the City Clerk replied proof of publication and mailing of the notices were in her file. The Mayor directed that the file become a part of this hearing. He then inquired if any written communications had been received. Mrs. Burrowes stated a letter had been received from Kilroy Industries outlining the basis of their appeal. Councilman Siadek stated he consulted with City Attorney Dolley and Acting City Attorney Thorson to determine whether he would be in conflict of interest by participating in the decision on this matter. Both attorneys informed him he would not present a conflict by participating in the discussion or voting on this matter. Mayor Bue stated he also consulted with the City Attorney and was informed he was not in conflict of interest. Mr. Romaniello reported that on January 12, 1984, the Planning Commission denied applicant's request to convert'11,000 square feet of building space area to a retail sales use." One of the reasons the Commission cited was that at this time the building is not sufficiently occupied to determine the parking needs, and that the installation of the retail use can be accomplished by using existing vacant office building space. Mr. Romaniello recommended the Planning Commission decision be upheld. John. Kilroy,.President of Kilroy Industries, 2230 E. Imperial Highway, stated subject building is 84% leased at this time. He stated one of the lessors will be occupying 54% of the building but has indicated they will only need 50% of the parking area, leaving 4% available. Additionally, he stated they reduced the allowable square footage by 7% but is only requesting a 1.77% reduction in parking. He stated the proposed retail use is for a gift shop which would enable the employees in the building to purchase items without leaving the premises, thus reducing the traffic impact. Ralph Murphy of Kilroy Industries, stated the Environmental Impact Report supported the amendment request. He also stated the company that will be occupying the majority of the building rejected tj�Le number of parking spaces that was included in their original lease package because they stated they did not require that many. Rev. Ed Erdeley, 209 W. Acacia, questioned Councilman Siadek's statement that he was not in conflict of interest. Rev. Erdeley asked if he could review his financial disclosure. Councilman Siadek stated his financial disclosures are a matter of public recoiCd but if his voting on this matter causes great con- cern, he would abstain from voting on this matter. Thereafter, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ARMSTRONG, to close the public hearing. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: -3- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 x lil ii Ayes: Councilmembers Armstrong, Johnson, Synadinos and Mayor Bue Noes: None Abstain: Councilman Siadek Absent: None Councilwoman Synadinos requested a continuance on this mattter so she could review the original precise plan. Thereafter, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN SYNADINOS, that Kilroy Industries' appeal of a Planning Commission decision be continued to March 6, 1984. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: Ayes: Councilmembers Armstrong, Johnson, Synadinos and Mayor Bue Noes: None Abstain: Councilman Siadek Absent: None D. Public Hearing on the Proposed Amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan Mayor Bue stated he wished to abstain from the dis- cussions and action on this matter due to a possible conflict of interest. He turned this portion of the meeeting over to Mayor Pro Tem Armstrong who announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for continuation of subject hearing. He then inquired if any written communications had been received. City Clerk Burrowes stated letters had been received from the E1 Segundo Employers Associa- tion (ESEA) and Northrop. Mr. Romaniello then reported that since the November 1, 1984 public hearing, staff has met with Council and community representatives in order to receive further input on this matter. He stated Council presently has before them for consideration a new master plan of streets map, a new chart revising the street classifications, an appendix that reviews all the revisions to the proposed element that have taken place since the November public hearing and a letter from ESEA that serves as their policy recommendations on this subject. Mr. Romaniello stated these materials should resolve all the issues raised at the November hearing. Mr. Jones stated that on Page 5, Paragraph 2 of the ESEA letter, the underscored wording "provided that such an addition (or extension) does not materially disrupt or impact the current land use" prevents the City from taking an action that would impact an individual property owner. He stated there may be circumstances where there would be a need to impact or materially disrupt the current land use for the -4- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 general public benefit. He suggested the wording be modified to "provided the City will attempt to minimize disruption or impact of current land use unless gevneral public interest requires ". Mayor Pro Tem Armstrong then opened the matter for public input. Tom Moske of Northrop Corporation, 800 No. Douglas Street stated Northrop actively participated in the City's study sessions on this subject. He stated Northrop is still of the opinion that the extension of Mariposa Avenue is inappropriate as it would bisect their manufacturing complex. Don Camph, Executive Director of the El Segundo Employers Association, 999 No. Sepulveda Blvd., stated their letter is a consensus document that provides a policy structure and framework within which future implementation of the Circulation Element can occur. He states his organization does not have any objections to the modification of the wording ..as proposed by City Manager Jones. Ralph Murphy, Kilroy Industries, 2230 E. Imperial Highway, expressed Kilroy's concerns about the proposed on -ramps of the I -105 Freeway that will go through their property. He stated they are exploring alternative proposals with ESEA. He feels the City should also study the impact of that freeway as it relates to the long -term plan. There being no further comments from the audience, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, to close the public hearing. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: Ayes: Councilmembers Johnson, Siadek, Synadinos and Mayor Pro Tem Armstrong Noes: None Abstain: Mayor Bue Absent: None Councilman Johnson requested continuance of any further discussions of this matter stating he did not have sufficient time to review the new revisions. Thereafter, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN SYNADINOS, to continue to ..March 6, 1984 the Council discussion and action on the proposed amendment to the Circulation Element -of the General Plan. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: Ayes: Councilmembers Johnson, Siadek, Synadinos and Mayor Pro Tem Armstrong Noes: Abstain: Absent: None Mayor Bue None -5- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 x6ilAfi VI Mayor Pro Tem Armstrong returned control of the meeting to Mayor Bue. E. Public Hearing on Proposed Condemnation of Lots 5, 6 and 7 in Block 65 (407 -17 Sierra Street) for Use as Senior Citizen Housing The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for subject hearing and inquired if proper notice of the hearing had been given, to which the -City Clerk replied proof of notice to the property owners was in her file. The Mayor directed that the file become a part of this hearing. He then inquired if any written communications had been received. City Clerk Burrowes stated none had been received in her office. City Manager Jones stated the City is making progress in their negotiations with the property owners to purchase subject property. If the negotiations are successfull, it will not be necessary to condemn said property. He requested a closed session with Council to discuss potential litigation in this matter and recommended the public hearing be continued to March 6, 1984. MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN ARMSTRONG, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, to continue subject public hearing to March 6, 1984. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES A. Proposition A Transit Revenue Committee Mr. Jones stated the Bus Express Employees Program (BEEP) is operated by the Southern California Rapid Transit District (RTD) and provides transportation for employees that reside in South Bay cities to the industrial section of E1 Segundo. The ESEA has been subsidizing this program by guaranteeing 40 riders per trip, at a cost of $1300 -$1600 monthly. Mr. Jones stated ESEA feels they can no longer continue that subsidy and has requested the City undertake the subsidy for a six -month trial utilizing the Proposition A funds that are earmarked, under the law, for transit purposes. ESEA would attempt to increase ridership through increased promotion of the service and better scheduling of the routes. Mr. Jones stated the Prop. A Committee, after considering ESEA's request, indicated they do not feel the subsidy of the BEEP program would be appropriate at this time. However, Mr. Jones stated he feels it is appropriate and in line with Council's objective to mitigate E1 Segundo's traffic problems. He stated it would be a limited commitment for the City at a cost that would not exceed $10,000. Don Camph stated the purpose of ESEA's letter was to make the City aware of this situation and to ascertain if the City was interested in taking over the program. He stated the program has not been as successful as ESEA had hoped, therefore, they will not be -6- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 subsidizing the program any longer. Mr. Camph feels that with intensive review of the marketing, sche- duling and routes, the program could possibly become successful. Mayor Bue stated since ESEA is withdrawing its finan- cial support,o f ithe program, it appears they have decided it is a "'loser ". Mr. Camph stated that that is a correct conclusion based on the present design of the program, but again stated his opinion that the program could possibly be successful by re- design. He stated because of timing, ESEA cannot complete the review and re- design prior to the ending of their agreement with RTD. Councilman Johnson stated he attended the Prop. A Committee meeting where this was discussed. The Committee felt they did not have the ability to conduct the marketing of this program. Councilman Johnson pointed out that since in January, 1985, RTD's - subsidy of the bus fares will terminate, the - City's subsidy-of the program would increase at a rate of 45 cents per rider per trip. If that increase were passed on to the riders themselves, the ridership would most likely decline even further. Mr. Camph stated the date RTD will no longer subsidize bus fares is July, 1985, and since the City will only be committed for six months, they would not be affected by the rate increase. After further discussion, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, that the El Segundo Employers Association's request for the City of E1 Segundo subsidize the Bus Express Employees Program be denied. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED rr BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: l Ayes: Councilmembers Johnson, Siadek and Mayor Bue Noes: Councilmembers Armstrong and Synadinos Absent: None B. Airport Noise Control and Land Use Steering Committee Councilman Armstrong reported ANCLUC had an informa- tional session February 16, 1984. He stated they will be meeting March 8 for a work session to decide on the Joint Technical Committee's recommendations. Councilman Armstrong stated he contacted Congressman Levine's office to request support of E1 Segundo's position on the airport noise problem. Mayor Bue stated the Council could reiterate their request for support in writing. Councilman Siadek stated he felt a strong stance should be taken to hold the airport to their commitment to vacate the Imperial Terminal. Councilman Armstrong stated that stance has been taken with little progress being made. He stated -7- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 he has tried to avoid legal action. Mayor Bue stated it may be appropriate, upon City Attorney Dolley's return, to discuss in closed session the City's legal options relating to this matter. C. Cable Advisory Committee Councilman Siadek stated he has received several complaints from residents relating to technical I problems they are experiencing. Mayor Bue directed staff to look into this matter. D. Assembly Task Force for Securing Local Government Financing Councilman Johnson stated the Senate and Assembly bills that, if passed, will make the State financially responsible for any State mandated programs are now at the legislative stage. He stated both bills meet the League of California Cities criteria. E. Councilman Armstrong announced the High School track team will have a meet on Friday, March 2. He encouraged support of the team through attendance at the meet. F. Councilman Siadek stated there will be a Sister City promotion on Saturday, February 25. The proceeds from the promotion will go towards sending the Band to Guaymas. G. Mayor Bue stated he attended a Sanitation District meeting. He stated they are now pumping gas from Puente Hills and Palos Verdes. He stated this is the first place in the world where turbines are being used and it appears that it will be successful. Mayor Bue also reported that it was announced at the meeting that the tonage price will go up from $3.75 to $5.00 on July 1, 1984. VII ORAL COMMUNICATIONS A. The following persons voiced their opinions regarding the traffic channelization project at Holly Avenue (see Item XI.B.1 - Director of Public Works Report): John Bruenger, 432 Kansas, feels the present channelization system has alleviated the traffic problem. He stated the proposed changes would again open the traffic into the residential community. Ray Stewart, 408 Kansas Street, stated he is very pleased with the present channelization system and that any changes in the system would jeopardize the residential area. Jim Clutter, 441 Kansas Street, stated one of the considerations he took into account when buying his home six months ago was that the industrial traffic was channeled away from the residential community. He would like the system to remain as is. -8- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 VIII Gary Wallace, 516 Oregon Street, spoke in favor of the proposed change. Mrs.,Rex Neschke, 521 Kansas, stated she is satisfied with the present system, but if there is a need for a change, it should be implemented for a 3 -month trial period. Margaret Landrum, 1436 E. Mariposa, spore in _ favor of the present system. B. G. Roger Siegel, began a religious speech. Mayor Bue requested Mr. Siegel to confine his comments to City of E1 Segundo business only. Mr. Siegel refused, therefore he was removed from the meeting by Police Chief Devilbiss. C. Aida Wagner, 356 Virginia Street, voiced her concerns regarding the increase in the removal of trees in the city. -City Manager Jones stated a property owner cannot remove trees on City property. .-On Council direction,'-Mr. Jones'indicated he would investigate the particular site "Mrs. Wagner referred to.

City Manager Jones I. Mid -Year Review of the 1983 -84 Operating Budget Mr. Jones stated the purpose of this review is to adjust expenditures to revenues and make transfers and appropriations where necessary in order to balance the budget at mid year. He stated there have been signifcant revenue - raising measures since July 1 and requested Council approval of the increase in appropria- tions to account for those additional measures and other revenue changes. Mr. Jones then summarized the changes in the revenue picture and recommended an increase in General Fund Revenue of $2,947,930 and in the Water Revenue of $453,500. Regarding expenditures, Mr. Jones requested Council approval of additional appropriations in the General Fund of $180,177. He stated the major individual expenditures are due to the reinstatement of the slurry seal program, the additional legal costs involved in the increased litigiation, and the recommendation to employ a full -time consultant in the cable television program. He requested Council approval of addi- tional appropriations in the Water Fund of $493,000 to cover the increase in water purchas- ing costs and in the Equipment Replacement Fund of $17,606 in order to replace the copy equipment in the Police Department six months ahead of schedule. Mr. Jones also requested Council approval to begin the process of obtaining architectural services for two capital improvement projects - expansion of the library and construction of a parking deck over the police motor court. -10- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 X �> 141 Council raised questions regarding the.signifi- _cant increase in legal fees. It was decided to approve the proposed adjustment at this time and schedule an adjourned regular meeting of the City Council on March 6 to discuss in closed session, with Mr. Dolley, the future legal costs. After further discussion, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN SYNADINOS, that the revised revenue estimates and mid -year budget adjustments to appropriations and the commencement of the two afore - mentioned captial improvement projects be approved. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 2. Recommendation to Approve Submission of Priority State Highway Projects for Inclusion in the State Transportation Improvement Plan Mr. Jones stated Staff worked with the E1 Segundo Employers Association to develop a list -of priority highway improvement projects for inclusion in the State Transportation— Improvement Plan. The projects that are recommended are: - Widening of Sepulveda Boulevard from Grand Avenue to Rosecrans - Widening of the Sepulveda Tunnel north of E1 - -Segundo Re- striping of the San Diego Freeway to provide additional lanes at the critical points around the South Bay curve Widening of Sepulveda and Rosecrans intersection approaches to allow freer flow of traffic - A traffic interconnect and timing program along Sepulveda Boulevard to make better use of the current traffic signals MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, that the list of priority highway improvement projects for E1 Segundo be approved and that authorization be given to staff to submit said list to the County Transportation Commission. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 3. Mr. Jones stated the City has been requested to support Senate Bill 1108 introduced by Senator Ayala. Stated this bill would overturn a California Supreme Court decision of December 21, 1983 (Alexander Pope vs. Board of Equalization) relating to the assessment practices that have been followed since Proposition 13 in assessing the value of multi -year construction projects. The Los Angeles County Assessor practice has been to assess the value for the base assessment year including all of the tenant improvements after the building is completed. Mr. Jones stated this sets a higher base year which is reflected in the -11- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 1% < ►1 4 :.; annual increments of property tax increases. However, the courts overturned that process of assessment. Mr. Jones said if the proposed legislation is not passed, those type of construction projects in the future will be asssessed for their base year at the value of the shell of the building. The impact would be a loss of substantial revenue in upcoming years. Additionally, it would impact the reimbursement by all Los Angeles County cities of the property tax collected over the past several years. The Council agreed to support Senate Bill 1108 and directed Staff to prepare a letter according- ly. B. Public Works Director Glickman 1. Report and Recommendation Regarding Traffic Control and Channelization at Holly Avenue Intersections with California, Kansas and Washington NOTE: This matter was heard out of context in order to receive public input under oral communi- cations. Mr. Glickman stated subject traffic channeliza- tion system was implemented last year in an effort to separate the mixture of residential and industrial traffic in that area. He stated the system appears to be successful in that the City has received several favorable comments with only a few complaints from the residents. However, approximately 60% of the traffic citations in that area have been issued to the residents, which suggests the system may be a little restrictive. Therefore, Mr. Glickman presented suggested modifications to the system that will ease the restrictions somewhat. Mr. Glickman stated the initial recommendation was to remove the RIGHT TURN ONLY sign and place NO LEFT TURN signs during restricted hours. He stated since that would allow thru traffic at all times, the revised recommendation is to leave the RIGHT TURN ONLY signs but specify certain hours. This would enable the residents to enter the neighborhood during non -peak hours and on weekends. After receiving the oral comments from the residents (see Item VII - Oral Communications) and discussion among Council, Staff was directed to further examine what signs should be installed to prevent thru traffic at subject intersections. Mr. Glickman stated he would present their findings at the March 6 meeting. 2. Recommendation to Accept Proposal of Melvyn Green & Associates, Inc. to Provide Structural Engineering Services /Building Evaluation for Fire Station No. 1 Mr. Glickman stated City staff interviewed four architectural firms in preparation of selecting an architect for the disign of modifications and -12- Council Minutes February 21, 1984 _additions to Fire-Station No. 1. He stated that -each firm felt a-need for an evaluation of the _structural ab*Jity of the existing building should be conducted as determined in current building code requirements. Mr. Glickman recommended the acceptance of a proposal submitted by Melvyn Green & Associates, a local Structural Engineering firm, to provide structural engineering analysis for Fire Station No. 1. He stated that Mr. Green, has indicated they can preform these services at a fee not to exceed $2,400. Mr. Glickman stated these funds are available in the Capital Improvement budget for this project. - MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, to accept the proposal of Melvyn Green & Associates, Inc. to provide a structural engineering services /building ,evaluation for Fire 'Station No. 1 and that a purchase order, . for, said work be issued at a cost not!-to exceed $2,400. THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
