AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Opposition to the LAX noise abatement approach pattern described as Over Ocean Operations
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION.
1 Discuss the El Segundo Noise Abatement Committee's draft resolution to oppose Over Ocean
Operations at LAX
2 Take action as appropriate on the proposed resolution
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On December 20, 1972 the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners approved Resolution No 7467,
modified on June 7, 1974, by Resolution No 8372, establishing what is now called Over Ocean Operations
The purpose of Over Ocean Operations is to reduce the noise impact of aircraft arriving at LAX from the east
between midnight and 6 30am Approximately 36,000 residents of Los Angeles, Inglewood, Del Aire and
Lennox were subject to the compressor whine produced by aircraft arriving at LAX from the east By mandating
that aircraft arrive from the west rather than the east, Over Ocean Operations was successful in reducing arrival
noise for the listed communities, but it has increased the noise impact and the number of overflights suffered by
El Segundo The FAA is responsible for most of the noise and overflight of El Segundo because its practice of
Over Ocean Operations is radically different than the flight patterns described in the Board's resolutions
The Board's Resolutions stipulated that during the hours of midnight to 6 30am " all take -offs shall be made
on the inboard runways (25R and 24L) from east to west and all landings from the west shall be made on
Runways 7L and 6R " Compliance with this Board directed policy would result in a fairly even distribution of
take -offs and landings between the North and South Complexes Unfortunately, the FAA controller's local
instruction, LAXT 7220 1A, directs the tower controller to "depart all aircraft from the 25 complex unless other-
wise coordinated" This is a discriminatory practice and not what the Board directed The FAA's prejudicial
practice results in El Segundo being the most heavily noise impacted of the communities surrounding LAX from
midnight to 6 30am In random samplings of Over Ocean Operations taken from November 1994 to the present
the City has found that 86% of the 40 - 50 departures from midnight to 6 30am depart the South Complex
There are two options available to reduce the noise annoyances and overflight hazards of Over Ocean
Operations The first is to make a formal request of the FAA to conduct Over Ocean Operations as described
by the Board The second is to eliminate the procedure The first method will reduce noise and overflights by
approximately 50% but will retain, and, in fact, increase the inherent dangers associated with the head -on flight
patterns which characterize Over Ocean Operations The second option, elimination of Over Ocean Operations,
will result in a reduction of noise from midnight to 6 30am by approximately 50% and will eliminate overflights
due to safe separation concerns of pilots flying into one another's landing lights Most of all, elimination will rid
LAX air space of a hazardous flight pattern opposed by the FAA and the Air Transport Association
The El Segundo Noise Abatement Committee is recommending that the Council approve a resolution opposing
Over Ocean Operations Establishing an official City policy of opposition to this unsafe and discriminatory
operating procedure is considered by the Committee to be the first step in negotiating the elimination of the
operating procedure It is anticipated that only the City of Inglewood will actively oppose the proposal to cease
Over Ocean Operations

RUNWAY NUMBERING
Runway numbering can be confusing All runways are schizoid They have split
personalities Being unstable personalities they adopt their persona of the moment depending
upon which way the wind is blowing We place numbers on each end of the runway to
identify which of the two personalities we are dealing with The numbers represent the
compass heading of an arriving or departing pilot

V
zto [ zSo
A
In the figure above, aircraft A has been cleared for takeoff from runway 25L (Rwy 25L) while
aircraft B has been cleared to land on Rwy 25L
With a wind shift of 180 degrees pilots and controllers will begin addressing old Rwy 25L as
Rwy 7R because the pilots' compasses will be indicating 070 degrees as they align themselves
"into the wind" for arrivals and departures

A RESOLUTION OF TB E CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EL SEGUNDO OPPOSING THE PRACTICE OF OVER OCEAN
OPERATIONS AT LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
VVIEDREAS, the practice of Over Ocean Operations was initiated in 1972 by the Los
Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) to elimmate, between the hours of rmdnight
and 6:30am, the noise of aircraft arriving at LAX over the Cities of Inglewood and Los Angeles
and the communities of Lennox'and Del Aire, and
WIMME.AS, Board Resolution Numbers 7467 and 8372 established an Over Ocean
Operations procedure that would have evenly distributed departure and arrival activity between
the North and South Complexes, and
WHEREAS, the excessive amount of departure noise and overflights suffered by El
Segundo residents between midnight and 6:30am is the direct result of the FAA's directive to
have all departures leave the South Complex during Over Ocean Operations; and
WHEREAS, Over Ocean Operations as practiced by the Air Traffic Control Tower
(ATCT) personnel at LAX is discriminatory against the City of El Segundo and not in
compliance with the procedure approved by the Board; and
WHEREAS, this discriminatory practice by the FAA results in about 86% of all
departures from midnight to 6:30am occurring from the South Complex; and
WHEREAS, numerous late night/early morning overflights by low altitude aircraft at high
power settings occur because aircraft departing the South Complex turn early to the south to
ensure safe separation from aircraft arriving from the west; and
V"WREAS, the FAA's discriminatory practice of the Over Ocean Operations procedure
makes El Segundo the most heavily noise impacted of the communities surrounding LAX during
the hours of midnight to 6 30am, and
WHEREAS, the Over Ocean Operations procedure, because of its characteristic head -on
flight pattern, with aircraft departing to the west mto the flight path of on- coming arrival aircraft
from the west, is universally accepted as less safe than the standard day time LAX flight pattern
of aircraft arnvmg from the east and departing to the west, and
WHEREAS, the head -on flight pattern of Over Ocean Operations will become
increasingly dangerous as air traffic at LAX is projected to increase by 30 - 35% by the year
2000, and
W E REAS, noise from the South Complex can be expected to increase during the hours
of midnight to 6.30am because of the anticipated growth in LAX flight operations and because
conversion of the LAX fleet to Stage III aircraft will not be complete until the year 2000; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City to reduce the noise impact and increase the safety
of LAX flight operations as they effect El Segundo.
NOW TEMNORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
BEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Over Ocean Operations, as practiced by the Air Traffic Control at LAX, is discriminatory,
resulting in the City of El Segundo being unfairly burdened by the annoyance of noise and the
hazards of overflight.
2. The Council concurs with the unanimously held assessment of the FAA, the LAX
aircarriers and the LAX Operations Staff that the head -on night time flight pattern of Over
Ocean Operations is inherently more dangerous than the head - to-tail flight pattern of normal day
time operations
f°"OOORno I Attachment (5)
*h ' 13
3. As it is currently practiced, Over Ocean Operations appears to penalize the citizens of El
Segundo without providing any significant noise reduction benefit to anyone.
NOW, TIMtEFORE ME CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City is opposed to the continuation of Over Ocean Operations on the following
grounds:
a. As practiced by the FAA ATCT personnel at LAX, the Over Ocean Operations
procedure is grossly discriminatory against El Segundo, exposing its citizens to unfair and
traumatic amounts of sleep disturbing noise and to the hazards of frequent overflights
from midnight to 6:30am nightly; and
b. The Over Ocean Operations flight pattern is inherently more dangerous than the
day time flight pattern; and
c Traffic congestion during Over Ocean Operations routinely results in the late
night/early morning overflight of residences in the City of El Segundo by low altitude
aircraft departing LAX at high throttle settings; and
d. The amount of noise and number of overflights is likely to increase rather than
diminish with the passage of time; and
e. There is no current evidence that Over Ocean Operations is achieving the
reduction of the noise impact area for which it was designed over 23 years ago.
BE rr FURTHER RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: That the City Council of the City of El
Segundo hereby requests that the Board of Airport Commissioners act to terminate Over Ocean
Operations because that procedure is grossly discriminatory, less safe than LAxs day time,
conventional flight pattern, and because the procedure no longer serves the purpose for which it
was designed.

RESOLUTION NO. 7467
WHEREAS, in 1962 the Supreme Court of the United States hold the airport
proprietor responsible for the acquisition of air easements in the areas sur-
rounding an airport when flights into and out of the airport became "so low
and to frequent" as to constitute a "taking" of such easements without the
payment of just compensation as provided in Article 5 of the Amendments to
the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS, in 1969 the Acting Administrator of the Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration and the General Counsel of the Federal Aviation Administration both
expressed the opinion that an airport proprietor had the legal right to regulate
the use of its airport in a non - discriminatory manner for the purpose of fixing
permissible levels of aircraft noise; and
WHEREAS, in 1971 the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit
in its opinion in the case of Lockheed Air Terminal vs, the City of Burbank
quoted the advice of the then Secretary of Transportation of the United States
to the United States Senate that "Airport owners acting as proprietors can
presently deny the use of their airports to aircraft on the basis of noise con-
siderations so long as such exclusion is non - discriminatory "; and
WHEREAS, in June of 1972 the Federal Aviation Administration added to its
Grant Agreement, executed by the Federal Aviation Administration and the City
of Los Angeles, the following:
"Provided, that the sponsor may establish such fair, equal and
not unjustly discriminatory conditions to be met by all users
of the airport; and provided further, that the sponsor may
prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical
use of the airport if such action is necessary ... to keep operation
activities within acceptable noise levels "; and
WHEREAS, in the case of Munger vs, the City of Los Angeles the Regional Director
of the Federal Aviation Administration, by affidavit, under oath, stated, "The
proprietor is free to impose such limitations on the use of his airport as he
determines will best serve both the local desire for quiet and the.local used
for the benefits of air commerce "; and

WHEREAS, in 1972 the Supreme Court of California in the case of Nestle vs,
the City of Santa Monica, held that governmental agencies in the State of
California are not immune from suits based on the theory of nuisance arising
out of the flight of aircraft, and that each flight is a new offense; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney of the City of Los Angeles has advised the Board
of Airport Commissioners that said Board should, in the best interests of the
City of Low Angeles, adopt regulations that would reduce the City's liability
arising out of operations at Los Angeles International Airport to manageable
limits; and
WHEREAS, rho Federal Aviation Administration, on December 6, 1969 pro-
mulgated Part 36 of the Federal Aviation Regulations requiring that the
certification of commercial jet air transport aircraft shall take noise
into consideration; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent and desire of the Board of Airport Commissioners
to further the implementation of said Part 36 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations at Los Angeles International Airport, and to institute a program
leading to, and resulting in, the achievement of operations at Los Angeles
International Airport within the standard contained in said regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. There is hereby instituted, effective April 29, 1973, a preferen-
tial runway use program. -Between the hours of 11:00 P.M. to
6:00 A.M. (2300 - 0600) all aircraft approaching Los Angeles
International Airport shall approach Los Angeles International
Airport from west to east. During said hours no aircraft not
certificated in accordance with Part 36 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations shall take off from Los Angeles International Air-
port from west to east. During said hours all take -offs shall
be made on the inboard runways (25R and 24L) from east to west
and all landings from the west shall be made on Runways 7L and 6R.
In the event of landing minimums below those authorized for Run-
ways 7L and 6R, or in the event that the tail wind component
parallel to said runways shall exceed 10 knots from the west,
only aircraft certificated or flown in compliance with Part 36
of the Federal Aviation Regulations shall be permitted to land
from east to west. Under the latter circumstances, all aircraft
not meeting the requirements of Part 36 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations shall be denied the right to land at Los Angeles
International Airport during the hours first above mentioned.
The aircraft certificated in accordance with Part 36 of the.
Federal Aviation Regulations are: the DC 10, the L 1011, the
747 -200, the 727 -200 when acoustically treated; and, for
the purposes of this resolution, the 747 -100.

2. That the General Manager be, and he is hereby, instructed and
directed to prepare and submit to the Board of Airport Com-
missionera a program of economic incentives to accelerate the
use of aircraft certificated in accordance with Part 36 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations, which said program shall be sub-
mitted within sufficient time to become effective July 1, 1973.
Said program shall ganerally set landing fees ranging from
lowest fees for operators of aircraft certificated in compliance
with Part 36 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, to higher fees
for operators of noisier aircraft.
3. That there is hereby established a fleet noise rule whereby 1002
of'all aircraft using Los Angeles International Airport shall be
certificated in compliance with Part 36 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations on or before December 31, 1979. It is intended that
on or before July 1, 1977, a study of the operation of the fleet
noise rule shall be made for the purpose of determining whether,

As Council recalls, budget reductions to offseta 10% reduction in FY 1994 -95 Business License Tax Rates
resulted in the elimination of 15.25 full time posivam. Layoffs necessary to bring about the reductions were
effective August 5, 1994.
For the most part, the reductions have had a mmimum impact on Departmental service Lewis.
However, as the fiscal year progressed, a number of our departments have recognized the need to fine time both
their organizational structure and the responsibilities assigned to individual employees.
Accordingly, a reorganization in the Water/Wastewater Division of the Public Works Department is reflected in the
budget In order to recognize current technical and supervisory responsibilities, two Leadworker posmons have been
upgraded to serve as working Supervisors. Addidomlly, in order to reflect the posum's current Division Head
status, the salary range for Water/ Wastewater Superintendent is being increased to the same level as that of Park
Superintendent
Several individual position classification and salary changes are also included in the budget. In the Public Works
Department, the salary range for Field Office Coordinator has been raised by 5%. Increased departmental workload
and responsibilities over the past several years have resulted in a transmon for this position from one performing a
mix of secretarial, clerical, and technical denies to one currently assigned additional supervisory and administrative
functions. In the Library, the Library Clerk B Position assigned supervision, training and scheduling responsibilities
in the Circulation section has been reallocated to the neir higher level classification of Library Assistant. In the
Plarrom and Building Safety Department, the salary range for the Director has been increased by approximately
3.5%, to the level of Director of Finance. The realignment of the salary range reflects the position's additional
responsibilities in admmtstetmg the Crty's civilian Fire Protection Inspection aervities and involvement in Hyperion
and Airport related issues
Two additional position classification and salary changes are being contemplated and will be included in upcoming
meet and confer sessions with the appropriate employee assocuuons. one is the downward reclassification of
Computer Operator to the class of Accounting Technician. The saxrod is the downward salary adjustment of the
Senor Fire Protection Analyst Both are a result of changes in the nature and level of the position's assigned duties
and responsibilities

Proposal to eliminate the Police Department's Court Commitment Program Fiscal impact, $14,000 00 reduced
revenue
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Discussion
2) Approve request to eliminate the court commitment program for sentenced prisoners and adopt resolution
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Current department policy dictates that all juveniles taken into custody, except victims, will be taken to the
basement annex located beneath City Hall From there a determination is made whether the juvenile will be
released to the custody of a parent or guardian or be detained at Juvenile Hall All processing of the juvenile
takes place in the annex prior to the juvenile offender being released or transported
The procedure to process juveniles in the City Hall basement annex is made necessary by laws pertaining to
sentenced prisoners being housed at the El Segundo City Jail The Departments's lock up facility is currently
defined as a jail This is due to our Court Commitment policy which allows our facility to house convicted adult
offenders
By having two separate facilities to process adult and juvenile offenders the Department complies with Youth
Authority regulations This practice has several potential problems that can be avoided by terminating the court
commitment program which would allow juvenile offenders to be processed at the station This will increase
efficiency and enable officers to return to other duties more quickly
If the department were to terminate the Court Commitment Program, the station's jail would be re- defined as a
lockup facility A lockup is defined as any locked room or secure enclosure primarily for the temporary
confinement of adults upon arrest There is a Youth Authority exception that allows the facility to have trustees
as long as the trustees carry out appropriate work The department would then be able to process juvenile
offenders in the stations lockup facility
Terminating the Court Commitment Program will result in loss of revenue from prisoners paying to stay at our
facility For example, in Calendar Year 1994, the program generated $21,275 00 although in recent months
revenue has been declining with less than $7,000 00 raised through the first six months of 1995

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
May 11, 1995
To: T.J. Grimmond, Chief of Police ( Through Channels )
From: Lieutenant M.K. Tavera
Subject: Juvenile Annex
PROBT EM
Current department policy dictates that all juveniles taken into custody, except 300
WIC victims, will be taken to the basement annex located beneath City Hall. From
there a determination is made whether the juvenile will be released to the custody of
a parent ( guardian ) or be detained at Juvenile Hall. All processing of the juvenile
takes place in the annex prior to the juvenile offender being released or transported.
The procedure to process juveniles in the City Hall basement annex is made necessary
by laws pertaining to sentenced prisoners being housed at the El Segundo City Jail.
The Departments's lock up facility is currently defined as a jail. This is due to our
Court Commitment policy which allows our facility to house convicted adult offenders.
By having two separate facilities to process adult and juvenile offenders the
Department complies with Youth Authority regulations. This practice has several
potential problems that can be avoided by terminating the court commitment program
which would allow juvenile offenders to be processed at the station and lock up facility.
BACKGROUND
In 1989 the juvenile annex in the City Hall basement was open for use. Prior to this
change all juvenile offenders were processed at the station's lock up facility. Legislative
changes made it necessary to remove the juvenile offender from the lock up facility
due to the department's Court Commitment program.
Officers process all juvenile offenders in the annex area. This procedure often requires
the officer to photograph, fingerprint and complete the detention process without the
assistance of a civilian jail officer. Lone officers are often left to monitor multiply
juvenile offenders in an area somewhat removed from the station. The annex has
minimal work space and it is almost impossible to separate multiply suspects.
A department supervisor is required to be present to approve the detention. During
times when there is only one on duty supervisor and multiply adult and juvenile
offender bookings this becomes difficult to accomplish.
The court commit program was initiated in 1987 The program allows a sentenced
person to serve a period of confinement in the department's lock up facility. For this
arrangement the person is charged $105.00 per day. A second included part of the
court commitment program is the Work Furlough Program. A sentenced person is
allowed serve their period of confinement at the end of their work day, spend their off -
hours in custody, and be released in time to report for the beginning of their work day.
This person is charged $55.00 per day. The third program is known as the Trusty
Program and pertains to working Trusties sentenced to serve a prescribed term. There
is no administrative fee.

The following are the annual collection totals for the program:
1987
$ 23,660.00
1988
$106,416.00

$ 45,270.00

1994
$ 21,275.00
Total $382,347.00
Since 1991 there has been a continuing decline in the amounts of funds collected from
the program. The decline may be attributed to the economic situation in California.
Deterioration of the State's economy has been occurring since 1991. The Los
Angeles County Sheriffs Department Court Commitment Program charges no fee and
persons are often released from custody after checking in for weekend commitment.
If the department were to terminate the Court Commitment Program, the station's jail
would be re- defined as a lockup facility. A lockup is defined as any locked room or
secure enclosure primarily for the temporary confinement of adults upon arrest. There
is a Youth Authority exception that allows the facility to have trustees as long as the
trustees carry out appropriate work. The department would then be able to process
juvenile offenders in the stations lockup facility.
RECOMIIMNDAnON
The department terminate the Court Commitment Program, remove the juvenile annex
from beneath City Hall, and reinstate the processing of juvenile offenders at the police
station. In accordance with current regulations the department could keep a working
Trustee program.
The following problems are created by processing juvenile offenders in the Juvenile
Annear:
Officers do not have station back up personnel immediately available.
Supervision is diverted from the field or main police building. Supervision is
often absent during the initial booking procedure.
Inconvenient to station personnel as it requires their absence from the main
police building.
Time consuming to process offender in a separate location.
The annex does not allow for the separation of juvenile offenders for interview
purposes and the facility will only accommodate three juveniles at a time.
Processing juvenile offenders in the station's lockup facility mitigates the above officer
safety and civil liability issues.
The following juvenile booking process would result if the Court Commitment program
were discontinued:
Officers would bring the juvenile offender into the station and go into the booking
area. All adult prisoners must be removed from the booking area and all efforts must
be made to prevent contact between the juvenile and adult offenders. The juvenile's
pertinent information would be obtained and their name ran through the J.A.I. system.
The offender would then be finger printed and processed and unless they qualified for
secured detention walked upstairs to the Detective Interview room. There, under
.1
PD -I -4
constant supervision, the juvenile offender's booking process would be finished and
arrangements made for their continued confinement or release.
A juvenile offender can be securely detained under the following conditions:
Age 14 or older and believed to be a serious security risk or harm to self or
others. The criminal charge its self does not determine if the minor can be
securely detained. Only minors who are combative or display bizarre /violent
behavior qualify for secured detention.
The juvenile will be placed into a cell block void of any adult arrestees. They must be
checked and logged every thirty minutes and can only be held in secured detention for
up to six hours. After six hours the juvenile will be released to a parent or guardian
or transported to juvenile hall. See attachment A.

Request by Northrop Grumman Corporation for consideration to rename Lapham Street to Hornet Way
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1 Discussion
2 Act on Northrop's request to rename Lapham Street to Hornet Way
BRIEF SUMMARY:
There is currently no procedure in the El Segundo Municipal Code, Government Code, or the Subdivision Map
Act regulating the naming of streets Therefore, this request has been forwarded to the City Council
Northrop Grumman will be relocating their Military Aircraft Division from Hawthorne to El Segundo over the next
several months They plan to have the majority of the relocation completed by year -end Northrop Grumman
occupies the property immediately west of Lapham Street for nearly the entire length north of 118th Street
The only exception is an undeveloped parcel owned by Rockwell at the southwest corner of Lapham Street and
Impenal Avenue
In con /unction with their move, Northrop has requested that Lapham Street be renamed to Hornet Way The
name honors the F /A -18 Navy Hornet fighter aircraft currently in production at their El Segundo facility They
are requesting the action as soon as possible because they need to advise their customers and suppliers
worldwide of their pending move
Staff is also aware of a pending request by Northrop Grumman Corporation to vacate a portion of Lapham
Street to improve site security This item will be brought to the City Council in the near future

Thank you for the opportunity to meet and discuss a couple of thoughts we have relative to
our upcoming relocation to El Segundo.
Our move plans are on schedule and we are expecting the majority of the relocation to be
completed by year -end. Since we will be changing our headquarters for the Northrop
Grumman Military Aircraft Division from Hawthorne to El Segundo, we are requesting your
consideration to change the name of Lapham Street to Hornet Way In conjunction with
this request, we would like our address to be One Hornet Way As you are aware, our
primary product at the El Segundo site continues to be the F /A -18 Navy Hornet fighter
aircraft. We expect to produce our portion of this vehicle for the McDonnell Douglas
company in St. Louis for the foreseeable future with continued deliveries to the U S Navy
as well as some foreign countries Because we will need to advise customers, suppliers as
well as others, we are requesting a timely decision so that we can order appropriate
stationary, etc.
Our second request is to vacate Lapham Street so that we may secure the entire perimeter
for this facility Recognizing that this may be more difficult and require further study, I have
asked Mr. Alec Uzemeck, Manager, Physical Resources, to contact Mr Jim Hansen of your
staff to begin discussions on the feasibility of this request.
I look forward to your early reply and our continuing partnership with the City of El
Segundo We want to be a positive contributor to your city and its citizens.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 18,1995
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business City Manager
AGENDA Dk.NLKW I WIN:
Consideration to Amend the Business License Code to specify a separate business license tax rate for all businesses whose primary
operation consists of providing temporary parking spaces (parking lots) Estimated annual revenues to be collected ($17,000)
1 Recommend that Council schedule a public heanng amending the El Segundo Municipal Code Title 5 dealing with
business regulations and licensing by specifying a separate business license tax structure, for businesses whose primary
operations consist of providing temporary parking spaces to non - employees it is anticipated tins new tax would take effect
as of January 1, 1996
2 Recommend that Council designate a flat fee of $10 per parking space per year as the designated change in the ordinance
BRi Y SUMMARY:
The Municipal Code calls for all businesses not specifically mentioned or classified to pay a business license fee per the general
business license rate schedule section 5 08 020 This schedule calls for business license fees to be based on the number of employees
and the square footage of space used for business purposes Square footage used for business purposes has been interpreted and
enforced as office/work areas Under the current license structure, parking lot businesses usually pay a mumnum license tax which
is relatively small for the size of the business and impact on traffic when compared to other businesses Parking lots, in the past, were
generally interpreted as a good sign for the City's economy, because it meant that business operating or coming into El Segundo were
labor intensive and thus had to maintain parking spaces for their work force However, in the recent past, there has been a excess of
unused parking spaces due to various reasons related to the changing economic times This has lead to the expansion of businesses
pnmardy providing parking spaces for a fee, with much of the business coming from overflow parking of the airport area
A brief survey conducted by City staff has identified nine (9) parking lot operations, charging average fees of $ 75 per 20 -30 minutes
to a maximum of $6 00 per day These nine business operating represent approximately 1,700 parking spaces Each parking space
averages 96 square feet of space for a total of 163,200 square feet If these spaces were to be interpreted as used for business
purposes, then the business license fees the City would collect would be approximately $45,000 instead of the $963 we currently
collect per the basic license fee The $45,000 collected would represent a burden on each parking space of slightly less than $26 00
per year By way of comparison, each parking space has the potential of eeming $2,190 per year assuming 365 days/year at $6 per
day If a vacancy factor of 50% were introduced, each space would still generate over a $1,000 per year It is clear that changing
the definition of parking space to business purpose space would not be advisable because this change would cause an excessive
financial burden on existing businesses when computing their business license fees due the City The issue of parking lot business
licensing is not addressed by most of the smaller cities in the area, but it does not appear to be problem in those cities Various other
cities have a gross receipts tax and thus the business fees collected are a factor of the income generated The City of Los Angeles
charges a surcharge on the parking fees and thus makes the business entity a conduit for collecting and remitting the revenues to the
City, similar to the Transient Occupancy Tax concept This process though would create additional administrative problems prnnanly
in the areas of control and auditing these revenues
Staff recommends looking at approaches similar to existing methods the City uses in the collection of business license fees One
approach used for hotels and motels would start off with the initial basic fee of $107 and would provide for licensing the first 25
spaces/rooms Beyond that, each 25 parking space increment would add an additional $200 to the basic fee Since there has been
9 parking lots identified with individual parking spaces ranging from 60 to 350 spaces, the aforementioned rates would generate
$13,200 per year Since there are an innumerable senes of combinations, the council may want to decide upon a different series of
combination of spaces and rates As a slightly different altemative, the Council may wish to establish a flat fee per space business
license fee Since there has been identified approximately 1,700 spaces a flat fee of $10 per space would generate $17,000 per year
Both methods mentioned are relatively easy to administer Again, since the Council has previously decided that the current square
footage fee for business purpose space is both reasonable and equitable then as long as the City stays within the $45,000 which would
be the maximum fee if it was calculated strictly on the current square footage rate, a change should be considered, especially if we
take into consideration the physical presence this type of business generates Finally, since this fee (if changed) may be interpreted
as a new fee and not as a change of an existing fee, the City should provide the public with the necessary notices and hold a public
hearing as required by the new Brown Act

ORDINANCE NQ
AN ORDINANCE OF TIC CITY OF EL SEGUNDO,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 5 (BUSINESS
REGULATIONS AND LICENSING) OF THE EL SEGUNDO
MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD NEW SECTION 5.08.527
REGARDING SPECIFIC LICENSE FEES FOR PARING LOT
OPERATIONS.
VMEREAS, Title 5 of the El Segundo Municipal Code licenses all business for revenue
purposes to support a general level of services which the City Council considers minimal for the
protection of public health, safety, and welfare; and
VVEFREAS, Title 5 of the El Segundo Municipal Code specifically spells out the business
license fee for certain businesses under specific section of the Code; and
VVMtFAS, Title 5 of the El Segundo Municipal Corde requires all businesses not called
out specifically to pay a business license fee per the general business license fee section 5.08.020;
and
MMWAS, there have been a number of new businesses established in El Segundo which
operate parking lots for vehicles and which also provide shuttle service from that parking lot to
other locations; and
VVIEREAS, the general business license section of the El Segundo Municipal Code deals
specifically with employees and office space, and thus does not lend itself to the licensing of
parking operations.
SECTION 1. Section 5.08.527 shall be added to the El Segundo Municipal Code to read
as follows.
"5.08.527 PARKING TATS. Every person engaged in the business of operating a parking
lot for vehicles which is open to the public generally and which also provides shuttle service from
the parking lot to any other location shall pay a business license tax of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per
parking stall per year. The business license tax imposed by this section shall not apply to the
number of stalls occupied on a regular basis by employees of the business or by tenants of the
building which is serviced by the parking lot of any."
SECTION 2. This ordinance shall become effective January 1, 1996; however City Council
reserves the right to review and adjust the rates, percentages and amounts set forth herem at any
time after the operative date.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance;
shall cause to same to be entered in the book of onginal ordinances of the City of El Segundo;
shall make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the meeting at which
the same is passed and adopted; and shall within fifteen days after the passage and adoption
thereof, cause the same to be published once in the El Segundo Herald, a weekly newspaper of
general circulation, published and circulated within the City of El Segundo and which is hereby
designated for that purpose

(2) SAVE MONEY BY HIRING AN IN -HOUSE CITY ATTORNEY OR PUTTING CITY ATTORNEY
CONTRACT UP FOR COMPETITION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN TEN YEARS.
(1) Councilman Robbins to give an oral report,
(2) Discussion and possible action relating to the cost savings of hiring an in -house City Attorney or putting
the City Attorney contract up for competition for the first time in more than ten years
(a) Hire an in -house City Attorney to handle routine legal business, contract out specialized legal
services to the best law firm at the best price, and audit legal bills, or
(b) Put the legal services contract up for competition
At the May 16, 1995 City Council meeting, I issued the following report which shows that the City Council
may save more than a quarter million dollars in public funds each year ( > $20,000 per month ) by canceling the
existing legal services contract and either (1) Hire an in -house City Attorney to handle routine legal business,
contract out specialized legal services to the best law firm at the best price, and audit the legal bills, or (2) Put the
legal services contract up for competition by issuing a Request for Proposal
The report information was all public record, and was the proper subject of a public "open session" City
Council meeting However, no action was taken on this item even though every City Council meeting that passes
without action on this matter may be costing El Segundo tax payers more than $10,000 in excess City Attorney
costs These excess expenditures do not benefit a single resident or business in El Segundo The high cost of the
City's legal services was even recognized as an important issue in campaigns for the last two City elections (April
1992 and Apnl 1994)
The City of El Segundo spends a substantial amount of public funds on legal services At present, most of
the legal services are provided under contract with the law firm of Burke, Williams, & Sorensen (hereinafter
referred to as "BW &S ") This contract has not been put out for competition in at least ten years, although the City
has spent approximately $900,000 to $1 5 million annually in recent years for legal services It is now a buyer's
market for lawyers and legal services, and the City may save many hundreds of thousands of dollars in public
funds every year by taking a serious look at alternative methods of providing legal services, including an appointed
in -house City Attorney or sending out a Request For Proposal soliciting competitive proposals
Most of the costs of an in -house City Attorney, including office space and equipment, a law library, and a
paralegal are already provided in City Hall as part of the City budget The only additional costs would be to provide
an attorney (salary, benefits, memberships, travel, and continuing education), some additions to the existing law
library, and access to an on -line computer research service, totaling about $175,000 annually In addition to saving
money, an in -house City Attorney would provide a higher level of service by working in City Hall five days per
week rather than the present one day per week under the contract with BW &S
The Cities of Bell and Baldwin Park have each realized significant legal cost savings, of about fifty percent
(50 %), after putting their legal services contract up for competition These two cities formerly contracted with
BW &S as El Segundo does currently In the case of the City of Bell, the BW &S proposal was significantly more
competitive than their then existing legal services contract with the City of Bell, but the BW &S proposal was still

not among the three most competitive proposals City of Bell officials are satisfied with the results of their new
contract law firm and are confident that they made the correct decision
The City of Manhattan Beach, at its May 16, 1995 public open - session City Council meeting, discussed
changing to an in -house City Attorney or putting their existing legal services contract with BW &S up for
competition This agenda item was continued to the June 6, 1995 open - session City Council Meeting as agenda
item #20 (under Community Affairs) BW &S has offered Manhattan Beach significant cost reductions which are still
above the market level cost For example, in a letter dated December 15, 1993, BW &S offered Manhattan Beach a
reduction in City Prosecutor Services from $150 per hour to $110 per hour, a 27 percent reduction However, a
Manhattan Beach study showed that the Cities of Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach obtained this same type of
legal service for a market rate of only $75 per hour, which is half the original BW &S rate In a letter dated May 11,
1995, BW &S offered Manhattan Beach an additional rate reduction for this service from the reduced rate of $110
per hour to an even lower $95 per hour, a 14 percent reduction, for a total reduction of 37 percent, but the new
BW &S rate was stilt 28 percent above the market rate In the May 15, 1995 letter, BW &S also offered Manhattan
Beach a rate reduction from $145 per hour to $120 per hour for City Attorney office hours at City Hall, a reduction
of 17 percent
An audit of BW &S bills for legal services covering a 14 -month period was completed on March 10, 1995, it
showed that BW &S billed the City of El Segundo approximately $145,839 in unsubstantiated charges and non -
billable services Such an audit can detect bills that are not consistent with the actual work product, but cannot
detect excessive bills due to unnecessary work that was actually performed, legal mistakes, or the practice of
"cross - selling" whereby work that can be performed by a generalist is assigned to a more expensive specialist (or
a generalist who is represented to the client as an experienced specialist and billed at a higher hourly rate)
Although it may be tempting to demand a refund for some or all of the questionable billings, it is unlikely that such
a refund would be forthcoming, and the cost of further delay in canceling the existing legal services contract may
waste more than $20,000 per month for many more months
The attached documentation was provided with my May 16, 1995 City Council report, and is provided here
for your reference Attached are photocopies of the relevant pages of the May 16, 1995 Manhattan Beach City
Council Meeting Agenda, the two above referenced letters, a report from a Manhattan Beach study on the costs
and benefits of having an in -house City Attorney, and a letter from the Rancho Mirage City Attorney stating that a
city should hire in -house counsel if it is spending more than about $300,000 to $350,000, or $400,000 maximum

successful results
