A. SPECIAL ORDERS OF BUSINESS
1. Analysis of the Imperial Street /Main Street Corridor /The Hiring and Retention
of El Segundo Police Department Employees
Police Chief Meehan gave Council an update and discussed a statistical crime
analysis developed by reviewing the calls for service by Reporting Districts (RD).
Chief Meehan stated that the major crimes in the City has diminished from 1988
and violent crimes such as robbery have diminished by 19% since that year. The
Imperial Corridor is roughly bordered by five Reporting Districts. Chief Meehan
stated there has been a history of crime in this area and of the five reporting
districts, 38% of the incidents occur along Imperial Avenue, however this is 9% less
in 1989 than in the previous year. Among the typical occurrences, stated Chief
Meehan, are drunks, car burglaries, Alcohol Beverage Violation, Narcotics, D.U.I.,
unpalatable behavior, loitering, carport thefts, fights, shoplifting, vandalism and
robberies.

Council Minutes
December 20, 1989
The brainstorming session listed potential solutions to these problems, for example
increased Alcohol Beverage Control enforcement, walk - thrus by patrol, graffiti clean-
up, business alert program, environmental design, Imperial /Hillcrest closure, private
security, restricted hours and a nuisance ordinance were among the suggestions. Of
the suggestions offered, Chief Meehan stated the following would be most effective:
special enforcement car (1800 -0400 hours), increased Alcohol Beverage Control
enforcement, high visibility patrol, walk - thrus, private security, video camera
recording, selective enforcement, parked police car, crime prevention /business alert
program, graffiti removal, and an enabling ordinance that would give the police
more authority. Among the listed solutions, many have been and are in the process
of being implemented to create a significant impact on this area. Chief Meehan
concluded by stating the El Segundo Police Department continues to identify
priorities and pledges its commitment to respond to the immediate needs of citizens
in the most expedient manner possible to ensure their safety.
Councilman Clutter asked that the traffic study include Chief Meehan's suggestions
and input.
Chief Meehan stated all Southern California Departments surveyed are short of
authorized personnel and the El Segundo Police Department is currently short
eleven Police Officers, two Records Clerks, two Police Cadets, and is anticipating
losing one to four Police Service Officers in the next several months. Chief Meehan
asked Council to consider the following to avoid or prevent a shortage from
occurring in the future: 1) overhire one Police Service Officer in anticipation of a
vacancy; 2) continuously test for Police Officer applicants until authorized staffing
levels are reached; 3) hire a temporary Clerk to assist with the hiring process; and
4) hire contract background investigators until authorized staffing levels are
reached. Chief Meehan also gave Council an explanation of the merit ordinance and
recommended to allow staff to more easily accept lateral entries and to allow
reinstatement of separated employees up to three years. There has been problems
in the past with hiring former officers and the requirement in place at the present
for those officers required to complete the entire testing process. Chief Meehan
concluded by assuring Council that additional funds are not necessary but could
be taken from the Police Department Personnel Account which currently includes
$350,000 appropriated in the 1989/90 budget for the five additional Police Officers
which staff has not yet been able to hire. The goal is to reach 66 officers by June
of 1990.
City Manager Cano stated the matter of the merit ordinance will be researched and
brought back to Council for discussion and review.
Councilman Clutter asked if discussion and action regarding the merit ordinance
could be considered at this time.
City Attorney Dolley stated the Brown Act precludes any decision making regarding
this matter.
Mayor ProTem Dannen asked what the drop dead date was for ballot measures for
the April 19, 1990 Election.
City Clerk Hart stated the drop dead date for ballot measures is January 12, 1990.
Mayor ProTem Dannen expressed concern regarding the need for Council discussion
regarding this matter.

information to institute this as a ballot measure for the April, 1990 election.
Council discussion continued regarding the background investigative work entailed
for the hiring of one Police Officer.
Councilman Anderson asked if disability retirement is a trend that the City should
expect for the future.
Chief Meehan stated the degree of disability retirement over the past few years is
unusual and should not be expected to become a trend.

2. Zone Code Enforcement - Procedures and Code Amendments
Director of Development Services stated staff recommends that City Council set a
public hearing on the proposed amendments to the El Segundo Municipal Code.
This proposal would provide administrative procedures and municipal code
amendments to strengthen enforcement of the City's zoning regulations. This
enforcement process would modify existing procedures and would add an
"inspection" clause to the El Segundo Municipal Code to strengthen the City's
feasibility in gaining compliance. Manager Cano concluded by further recommending
that following the public hearing, City Council approve the administrative
procedures and adopt the Municipal Code amendments for the reasons as previously
stated.
Councilman West questioned the need for a court order for compliance.

opportunity to abate should compliance be deferred.

Councilman Clutter was in favor of staff recommendations.
Mayor ProTem Dannen suggested that at the change of ownership the problem
should be abated.

the City can gain compliance through policing, it was still staff's recommendation
to hold a public hearing on this matter.

estate agents but even through notification to the prospective owner of violations,
the City does not have in place a means for gaining compliance.

VOTE.
Staff will provide Council with information regarding the proposed property
maintenance ordinance.
3. Update of the City of El Segundo's Article XIII B of the State Constitution
( "Gann ") Spending Limits.
City Manager Cano stated this matter concerns the "Gann Limitation" with regard
to the City of El Segundo. Manager Cano stated that recent Court rulings have not
been reflected in El Segundo's "Limit" and past records reveal the City exceeding
the Limit in 1979 -80 and 1980 -81. To avoid exceeding the limit for 1989 -90 or
future years, staff recommends that a special consultant be hired to identify all the
alternatives, options and factors to be considered, to recalculate the 'Base Year" and
to apply the intervening adjustment factors in order to arrive at a "Limit" for 1989-
90 that the City of El Segundo can confidently rely upon.
Councilman West MOVED, Councilman Anderson SECONDED to direct staff to hire
a consultant to calculate /recalculate the City's 'Base Year" through current year
Article XIII B Spending Limits based upon Current Law (Court Decisions).

Council Minutes
December 20, 1989
Mayor ProTem Dannen asked for the need for a consultant if El Segundo did in
fact reach the Gann Limit in previous years.

City may need to readjust its own Gann Limit and Manager Cano stated he did not
have the confidence in the figures on record.
MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE.
4. Library Renovation and Expansion Project -Delay of Bid Process: City Council
Review.
City Manager stated this item concerned the Library Renovation and expansion
project. He stated Proposition 85 was enacted as the California Library Renovation
and Bond Act of 1988. This act could conceivable grant funds to the City to cover
the revenue that is still needed for this project, however there is some discrepancy
regarding those cities that have already advertised for construction bids. Manager
Cano offered a detailed report from the Director of Library Services.
Mayor ProTem Dannen MOVED, Councilman Anderson SECONDED to move
forward with staff's recommendations. MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS
VOICE VOTE.
5. Consideration of Possible Amendment to Deed for the Golf Course Property.
City Manager Cano stated this item refers to the proposed amendments to the golf
course. The current restrictions in the grant deed do not provide optimum
utilization of the property or benefit to the City. The deed clearly allows for
restaurant, clubhouse and related retail uses. Chevron has also agreed to remove
from the deed any rights or restrictions it may have to amend future land uses of
the property. Manager Cano concluded by recommending the Council approve the
proposed amendments to the deed and authorize staff to execute.
City Manager Cano stated there was an amendment to Section 1, fourth line, to
read as follows: "... of a public golf course, including, but not limited to..."

made to page two of title page Election Campaign Financing, second paragraph,
amend sentence to read "...is determined that the Political Reform Act of 1974, as
