EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 19, 1995
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: NEW BUSINESS CITY MANAGER
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Authorize the City Manager to enter into Indemnification/Hold Harmless Agreements between the El Segundo Fire
Department and Police Department and El Segundo property owners for the exclusive purpose of Fire and Police
Department training (contains amended language)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Grant authority to the City Manager to enter into Indemnification/Hold Harmless Agreements
2) Approval of amended general Indemnification /Hold Harmless Agreement form
BRIEF SUMMARY:
In order to meet Fire and Police Department training goals, the two Departments participate in training activities at
various sites throughout the City Often, these sites are privately owned properties By using these properties for
training, the Fire and Police Departments are able to provide unique training situations and simulations which cannot
be duplicated at City facilities Both Departments have participated in various training exercises of this type
throughout their history Many times, this training is accomplished without an Indemnification /Hold Harmless
Agreement However, in recent years, property owners have begun to require this type of agreement more often
Council approval has always been required prior to entering into these agreements
The Departments encounter the following situations that warrant a more efficient method of obtaining these
agreements
One situation involves property that is due for demolition These structures provide some of the best tactical
training for Police Officers and Firefighters They provide the opportunity to simulate fire, rescue and
tactical law enforcement situations However, the owners of these properties want to demolish their
buildings quickly, usually within a few days of obtaining a demolition permit When they agree to allow us to
utilize the structure, it is often only for a few days, and usually without much prior notice This situation does
not afford us enough time to prepare a staff report for Council approval prior to the demolition In 1993 the
Fire and Police Departments had two opportunities disappear because of situations such as this
Authorizing the City Manager to enter into Indemnification /Hold Harmless Agreements will allow us to
expedite this process for more favorable results
Another situation involves properties the two Departments use for training exercises on a fairly regular
basis, i e , Chevron, Hughes, Allied, Edison Some require an agreement, however, it is usually only good
fora few days In addition, these sites will host training exercises and will invite the Fire and Police
Departments to participate However, prior notice is usually only a week or two, limiting the time frame
available to submit an agreement for Council approval By allowing the City Manager to enter into an
Indemnification/Hold Harmless Agreement, the Departments can set the beginning and ending dates for
occupancies that allow the Departments to train on a regular basis This will provide greater efficiency as
we will not be going back for Council approval on recurring agreements, and training can be scheduled in a
more timely manner
By authorizing the City Manager to enter into Indemnification/Hold Harmless Agreements, the Fire and Police
Departments can provide enhanced training to its members while reducing paperwork and increasing efficiency
The Indemnification /Hold Harmless Agreement has been reviewed and approved, as to form, by the City Attorney
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1 Original Indemnification/Hold Harmless Agreement

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 9/19/95
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business, City Manager
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Proposal to modify the existing Residential Sound Insulation Program to permit citizen participation
(20 %) in support of the program
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1 Discuss the proposal
2 Take action as appropriate on the proposal
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On June 1, 1993 the City Council approved the Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Program That
program was based on a matching grant plan with the FAA providing initial grants for 80% of
program support and the Los Angeles Department of Airports ( LADOA) providing matching grants
applicable as the community's required 20% contribution This program has come to an impasse in
that the LADOA will not authorize funding in accordance with its matching grant program (BOAC
Resolution No 18062), and have offered local jurisdictions no alternative program
The City has ben granted in excess of $2 8 million in FAA funds to date of which approximately
$350 thousand has been spent, most of it being applied to the purchase and renovation of the
Demonstration House In May 1995 the FAA allocated an additional $1 million That allocation
was conditional upon the establishment of an agreement with LADOA or some other funding source
for the 20% match for their grant funds The new program had to be in effect by September 2, 1995
On August 8, 1995, the City Council approved a new RSI program which permits the residents
participating in the program to support the program by paying 20% of the cost for their insulation
There was a strong response from the residents with over 160 applying to participate in the program
which will insulate approximately 50 residences The FAA received the plan and an application for
the new program on August 28 All verbal exchanges up to that date between the City and the FAA
indicated that the allocated grant would be executed On September 11, the FAA informed the City
that the $1M had been reallocated to Reno -Stead Airport in Nevada The reason given was that
Reno -Stead had assumed a pressing priority status It was recommended that the City spend its
existing grant funds by modifying its FAA/LADOA matching grant program to reflect our current
citizen - participation program format In doing so we will be demonstrating our ability to operate a
RSI program effectively and will be viewed as a more viable contender for future FAA funds We
are eligible for new funding in October 1995 and if we show progress in our conversion of our old
FAA/LADOA program to a citizen - participation program, it is likely that we will receive an
allocation of not less than $1 million For this reason it is recommended that the City Council
approve modifying the conditions of the original RSI program to permit citizen participation
(20 %).
With Council's approval, permitting recipients of RSI to fund 20% of the program, the City will
reactivate the original phase of the program, making necessary program modifications and begin
insulating At present approximately 25% of the residents who applied to participate in the
FAA/LADOA funded program have applied to participate in the new program, funding 20% of
insulation they receive The City's contract with Wyle Laboratories will have to be modified to
permit the dimensional and acoustic assessment of the homes of new RSI applicants These contract
changes will be brought to the Council for approval if the recommended program modification is
authorized

1 The California Department of Transportation (the "Department ")
2 makes the following findings of fact and determination of the issue
3 and renders its decision with respect to the above - entitled matter
4 as follows:
5 I.
6 The Los Angeles Department of Airports filed its application
7 for a variance to Section 5062 of the Noise Standards (California
•
8 Code of Regulations, Title 21, Chapter 2.5, Sub - chapter 6, Sections
9 5000 through 5090) requesting a variance from regulations
10 administered by the Department by cover letter dated February 21,
it 1986, received by the California Department of Transportation on
12 February 25, 1986. The application applies specifically to Los
13 Angeles International Airport, the largest of the four airports that
14 thz Los Angeles Department of Airports operates. (All references
15 to the "Los Angeles Department of Airports" or "City" herein sha_
16 include the City of Los Angeles, including all its officers,
17 employees, departments and agencies, proprietary and nonproprietary;
18 all are collectively referred to hereinafter as "the Respondent"
19 unless specifically indicated otherwise).
20 II.
21 Los Angeles International Airport ( "Airport" or "LAX ") is the
22 largest airport in California in terms of number of passengers
23 served. More than 45 million passengers used the Airport in 1991;
24 air cargo shipments exceeded one million tons. One of the
25 undesirable effects of this huge volume of air transportation
26 activity is that large numbers of people are subjected to levels of
27 noise that exceed the level determined by the State of California
28 to be acceptable to a reasonable person residing in the vicinity c_
-2-
#" 116
412666
1 an urban airport, as established by the Noise Standards. The
2 acceptable level of noise is a Community Noise Equivalent Level
3 (CNEL) of 65 decibels (dB). As of September 30, 1991, there were
4 more than 27,000 dwelling units, housing more than 66,000 people,
5 within the Noise Impact Boundary, which is a line surrounding the
6 Airport that depicts the CNEL of 65 decibels due to aircraft
7 operations.
•
8 III.
9 The Noise Impact Boundary for Los Angeles International Airport
10 is determined through the combined use of a noise monitoring system
11 having 26 continuously operating microphone stations located in the
12 vicinity of the Airport and a computerized calculation procedure
13 that uses the noise monitoring data. The Noise Impact Boundary
14 currently encloses approximately 3.6 square statute miles of
15 incompatible land uses (residences, schools, hospitals, etc.). The
16 definitions contained in the Noise Standards identify this area as
17 the Noise Impact Area. The,Los Angeles International Airport Noise
18 Impact Area of 3.6 square statute miles, with a population estimated
19 at more than 66,000 residents, is the largest in California.
20 Iv.
21 Respondent's application requested a variance from Section 5062
22 of the Noise Standards, which read as follows at the time of the
23 application:
24 section 5062. Noise impact area violations.
25 "No airport proprietor shall operate his
airport with a noise impact area of other than
26 zero unless said operator has a variance as
prescribed in Article 13 of this Subchapter of
27 these regulations."
28
-3-
04 . 117
112566
1 However, this requirement was moved to Section 5012 of the
2 Noise Standards during a regulation amendment process in 1990. Tl
3 requirement is essentially the same, but has been made more
4 specific. It now read as follows:
5 Section 5012. Airport Noise Standard.
6 "The standard for the acceptable level of
aircraft noise for persons living in the
7 vicinity of airports is hereby established to
be a community noise equivalent level of 65'
8 decibels. This standard forms the basis for
the following limitation.
9
'No airport proprietor of a noise problem
10 airport shall operate an airport with a noise
impact area based on the standard of 65 dB CNEL
11 unless the operator has applied for or received
a variance as prescribed in Article 5 of this
12 subchapter.'"
13 All future references to the requirement that a variance be
14 obtained by the Respondent will be made to new Section 5012.
15 V.
16 By letter dated January 3, 1990, Respondent requested a formal
17 hearing regarding its application for a variance. On or about March
18 25, 1990, the Department filed a Statement of Issues. Shortly
19 thereafter, a Notice to the Public concerning the hearing request
20 was published in the Los Angeles Times and was mailed directly to
21 parties known to the Department to have an interest in the subject.
22 Those members of the public who had a desire to intervene in the
23 hearing were asked to notify the Department in writing by April 30,
24 1990.
25 A Prehearing Conference was convened June 12, 1990, with
26 Administrative Law Judge Richard J. Lopez of the Office of
27 Administrative Hearings of the State of California presiding. The
28 Department was represented by Attorney Larry Thelen, the Responden.
-4-
#` 118
12666
1 by Breton K. Lobner and Sheryl L. Meshack, Assistant City Attorneys
2 for the City of Los Angeles. Discussions with each prospective
3 intervenor were held and agreements for organizing groups of
4 intervenors under specified leading entities were established.
5 Following this, the Administrative Law Judge made the following
6 order relating to intervenors:
7 The Parties -in- Intervention are:
w
s (1) Ruth Galanter, Councilwoman, representing herself;
9 (2) City of E1 Segundo, represented by Leland C. Dolley, City
10 Attorney;
11 (3) Intervenor A: Under the aegis of the Los Angeles
12 International Airport Area Advisory Committee ( LAIAAC)
13 represented by Shell Abrahamson (later replaced by Roy
14 Hefn--r), consisting of the LAIAAC and 6 other interested
15 groups; and
16 (4) Intervenor B: Under the aegis of Coalition of Concerned
17 Communities (CCC) Sal Grammatico, President, consisting
is of the CCC and 4 other interested groups.
19 The Administrative Law Judge noted that after the parties were
20 established, they agreed to hold informal discussions to the end
21 that resolution of the respondent's application and the Department's
22 Statement of Issues be accomplished without the necessity of a
23 formal hearing. The Administrative Law Judge further noted that
24 "should such discussions not lead to resolution then the Department
25 will calendar with the O.A.H., in due course, time necessary for a
26 prehearing conference and, thereafter, a hearing on the merits."

VI.
Following the Pre - Hearing Conference, meetings of the partic
were held on a monthly basis, with some exceptions. Members of the
Department's staff acted as facilitators for the discussions. Among
the issues review by the parties were the methods by which
compliance was accomplished for each of the conditions of the
previous variance.
VII.
The economic, social and political importance of the Los
Angeles International Airport to Southern California, and
particularly the communities surrounding the Airport has been
established in prior variance proceedings. In granting three
previous variances, the Department recognized the regional, national
and international importance of the Los Angeles International
Airport.
No facts or serious arguments were presented or expressed by
any of the parties that would indicate that this basic relationship
is any different today than during the consideration of previous
variances. Each of the participating intervening parties has
provided conditions for discussions during the course of informal
settlement meetings.
VIII.
The four local agencies (City of Los Angeles, City of E1
Segundo, City of Inglewood and the County of Los Angeles) having
land use jurisdiction over property located within the LAX noise
impact area are eligible for Federal grants totaling approximately
$5 million (divided among the four agencies) annually for land use
conversion projects. In the near future, additional funding fo.
-6-
120
41766.6
1 land use conversion (including sound insulation) should become
2 available through Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs). This will
3 facilitate a more rapid rate of conversion of currently incompatible
4 land uses. However, there was no certainty during the discussions
5 by the parties as to the amounts of money that will become available
6 through that source for noise - related projects.
7 IX.
8 Respondent's existing Supplemental Funding Program annually
9 provides an additional $5 million (approximately) of Respondent's
10 funds for use by the four neighboring jurisdictions for land use
it projects, and for the sound insulation of existing residences. This
12 program provides matching funds equal to the amount granted to a
13 local jurisdiction by the FAA. Respondent's Board of Airport
= ^. Commissioners will be asked to consider supplementing the $5 million
15 annual amount in this program if and when PFC funds become
16 available. Respondent's current application to the FAA for PFC
17 funding over the next five years proposes to spend $100 million, $20
18 million annually, for sound insulation and recycling projects within
19 the impact areas around LAX and Ontario International Airport.
20 X.
21 Each political jurisdiction surrounding the Los Angeles
22 International Airport whose boundaries enclose part of the noise
23 impact area (as defined in the Noise Standards) has indicated a
24 desire to establish and implement its own land use mitigation
25 program. It is the position of the California Department of
26 Transportation that local governments have the right to determine
27 for themselves what the pace for land use mitigation should be.
28 Unfortunately, no information was available as to the rate each
-7-
121
412666
1 political jurisdiction would be able to use funds from the Federal
2 government or from the Respondent to accomplish such land u-
3 mitigation projects. Information of this nature appears to be an
4 important but missing component of the fiscal planning for the
5 projects and is necessary for Respondent to estimate the date the
6 Airport would achieve compliance with the Noise Standards. On May
7 27, 1992, Respondent's Board set policies regarding its W Part 150
8 Supplemental Funding Program for land use mitigation projects.
9 Under the program's implementation procedures, eligible local
10 jurisdictions are required to provide land use mitigation plans
11 which, together with each local affected political jurisdiction's
12 estimates concerning the rate it would be able to use available
13 funds, would provide the information needed to estimate the ultimate
14 date of compliance with the Noise Standards.
15 ZI.
16 For at least 20 years there have been complaints related to
17 aircraft turning soon after takeoff and flying over residential
18 areas prior to reaching the shoreline on westward departures. The
19 Respondent has placed signs informing pilots not to accomplish such
20 turns, has published notices concerning requested departure
21 procedures, and has sponsored meetings with supervisory pilots of
22 major airlines, with the FAA, and with representatives of state and
23 local governments that are involved, in an effort to prevent the
24 "early turns ". Since 1986, the FAA has made several amendments to
25 the standard instrument departure procedures that were specifically
26 intended to help correct this problem.
27 In spite of these efforts, the Respondent has determined that
28 a small but significant percentage of departing aircraft still turn

New equipment being operated by
the Respondent's noise abatement office should help identify which
aircraft perform the early turns, and their precise flight tracks.

The Noise Standards establish the authority for the Department
to issue variances, the guidelines to be used in considering them,
and the provision that reasonable conditions may be imposed as
I follows:
Section $053. Conditions of variance.
"The Department may grant a variance if to do
so would be in the public interest. In
weighing the public interest, the Departments
considerations include but are not limited to
the following:
(a) The economic and technological
feasibility of complying with the
noise standards set by these
regulations;
(b) The noise impact should the variance
be granted;
(c) The value to the public of the
services for which the variance is
sought; and
(d) Whether the airport proprietor is
taking good faith measures to the
best of its ability to achieve the
airport noise standards."
Section 5050. variances.
"In granting variances, the Department shall be
guided by the underlying policy that the
proprietor of each existing airport having a
noise impact area be required to develop and
implement programs to reduce the noise impact
area of the airport to an acceptable degree in
an orderly manner over a reasonable period of
time."

5 "The purpose of these regulations is to provide
a positive basis to accomplish resolution of
6 existing noise problems in communities
surrounding airports and to prevent the
7 development of new noise problems. To It accomplish this purpose, these regulations
8 establish a quantitative frame -work within
which the various interested parties (i.e.,
9 airport proprietors, aircraft operators, local
communities, counties and the state) can work
10 together cooperatively to reduce and prevent
airport noise problems." (Emphasis added).
11
12 DETERKINATION OF ISSUES
13 Pursuant to the foregoing Findings of Fact, the Department
14 makes the following Determination of Issues:
15 I.
16 The information presented by the Respondent and reviewed by the
17 parties together with information from previous variances available
18 to the parties has established that the public interest would be
19 served at this time by granting the variance requested to Section
20 5012 (formerly section 5062) of the Noise Standards (California Code
21 of Regulations, Title 21, Chapter 2.5, Subchapter 6).
22 II.
23 In weighing the public interest regarding this application for
24 a variance, consideration has been given to the economic and
25 technologic feasibility of complying with the noise standards set
26 by these regulations, the noise impact should the variance be
27 granted, the value to the public of the services for which the
28 variance is sought and whether the airport proprietor is taking gow
-10-
4
•- 124
1
41266.6
1 faith measures to the best of its ability to achieve the airport
2 noise standards. Consideration has also been given to the fact that
3 the noise impact area will not change significantly due to the
4 granting of a variance and neither will the local economy or the
5 employment situation in the Airport service area.
6 III.
7 Instant reduction of the Noise Impact Area to zerq is not now
8 feasible economically or technologically. Granting the requested
9 variance is consistent with the underlying policy for implementing
10 the Noise Standards and does not conflict with federal law.
11 IV.
12 Consideration has been given to the efforts of the Respondent
13 to minimize the effects of noise on people who live near Los Angeles
14 International Airport and to the fact that the Noise Impact Area
15 continues to be a major problem.
16 V.
17 Also considered was the fact that the Respondent has an
18 obligation to the general public to develop, maintain, and operate
19 an airport that provides an adequate level of high quality services
20 in a manner that fosters the safest possible local, national and
21 international air transportation while reducing the size of the
22 noise impact area as rapidly as is reasonable.
23 V1,
24 The future of the land use recycling and /acoustic treatment
25 program is largely dependent upon the administrative capabilities
26 of the four noise impacted local governments in the vicinity of the
27 Los Angeles International Airport and the availability of funding
28 from the Respondent and the Federal Government.

VII.
The underlying policy of the Department in granting varianc
is to influence proprietors of airports having noise impact areas
to develop and implement programs to reduce the noise impact area
to an acceptable degree in an orderly manner over a reasonable
period of time. The combined effect of the conditions in this
decision should be to achieve the maximum economically and
technologically feasible degree of noise impact area of reduction
without interfering with federal law.
WHEREFORE, THE FOLLOWING ORDER is made:
The variance requested in the application from the Respondent
to the requirements of Section 5012 of the Noise Standards
(California Code of Regulations, Title 21, Chapter 2.5, Subchapter
6) is hereby granted subject to the following termb and conditions:
1. The variance granted herein shall be for a period
three years from the effective date of this order.
2. The variance granted herein is subject to the conditions
adopted by Respondent's Board of Airport Commissioners as
set forth in Exhibit A, a copy of which is attached and
which, by this reference, is incorporated in this Order.
3. Within 2 calendar months from the effective date of this
decision, Respondent shall contact each of the local
governments having land use jurisdiction over areas
containing incompatible land uses (as defined in the
I
Noise Standards) inside the LAX 65 CNEL Los Angeles
International Airport noise impact boundary. Respondent
shall request each such affected local jurisdiction to
prepare an Aircraft Noise Mitigation Plan (ANMP) for L..e
-12-
'` 12�
41266.6
1 area within its own noise impact boundary. The ANMP
2 should contain maps and tabular data setting forth the
3 number, type and location of the incompatible land uses
4 within the jurisdiction -s impact area, the land use
5 mitigation strategies (land use recycling, sound
6 insulation, or other strategy determined by each
7 jurisdiction to be appropriate) to be employed to bring
8 each type of incompatible land use into compliance with
9 the Noise Standards, and estimates of the cost and time
10 schedule necessary to achieve compliance with the Noise
11 Standards. Two compliance schedules should be developed, li
12 the first based on the level of funds currently available
13 to the jurisdiction from all sources, and the second
14 based on any greater level of funding that could and
15 would be efficiently and effectively spent by the
16 jurisdiction if the funds were available. The ANMP
17 should cover, as a minimum, the incompatible land uses
18 within the 65 CNEL noise contour depicted on the most
19 recent quarterly report submitted to the Department after
20 the effective date of this decision. In the event that
21 any of the cities or the County is unable or unwilling to
22 provide the requested information, Respondent shall so
23 inform the Department of Transportation.
24 4. Within 9 calendar months from effective date of this
25 decision, Respondent, based on the AHMPts developed by
26 each jurisdiction, shall develop a composite ANMP
27 incorporating the entire LAX noise impact area. The
28 composite ANMP will provide estimates of the cost and
-13-
I
64 127
412666
1 time required to bring all incompatible land uses within
2 the LAX noise impact area into compliance with the Noi
3 Standards. One of the estimates should be based on the
I
4 level of funds currently available and another on the
5 level of funds each jurisdiction could and would be
6 willing to efficiently and effectively utilize.
7 Respondent should, over time, incorporate a th4rd measure
8 showing a record of the actual rate at which each
9 jurisdiction is able to effectively use available funds.
I
10 The composite ANMP may be used to provide a basis for
11 setting optimum target funding levels for each
12 jurisdiction and a yardstick for measuring each
13 jurisdiction's project implementation performance. The
14 optimum target furling level will be that level that
15 permits each jurisdiction to implement its land u;__
16 mitigation program at the most rapid rate it can
17 accommodate efficiently and effectively, and is willing
is to accept. This Plan should recognize, however, that
19 there may be legitimate competing needs for available
20 funds that may prevent achieving the optimum target level
21 of funding described above. The target level for each
22 year will be considered a goal, not a requirement for
23 that year. Each jurisdiction shall have the opportunity
24 to comment on the Plan. Respondent shall respond, in
25 writing, to all comments.
26 5. Respondent, with the assistance of the affected local
27 jurisdictions, shall update its LAX composite ANMP
28 annually and shall make such plan available to the
-14-
' " 128
i
412666
1 Department, the County of Los Angeles and other
2 interested parties.
3 6. The variance granted herein excuses the Respondent from
4 compliance with Section 5012 in accordance with
5 Respondent's application. However, in the event that
6 Respondent violates any of the above terms or conditions,
7 such conduct shall constitute a cause for termination of
8 this variance.
9 7. This variance shall be further subject to termination by
10 the Department, upon 60 days advanced written notice, in
11 the event the Department finds that a genuine dispute as
12 to a material matter exists between Respondent and an
13 Intervenor as to whether or not Respondent is in
14 compliance with this Variance, including Ex..ibit "A".
15 The Department shall terminate the Variance upon written
16 application of an Intervenor, upon a finding, based upon
17 substantial evidence that the Respondent may have
18 breached a policy of Exhibit "A ". Prior to filing an
19 application to terminate this variance with the
20 Department, an Intervenor shall notify the Respondent and
21 other Intervenors that a matter is in dispute and attempt
22 to resolve the matter by informal means, including
23 meeting with the Chairperson of Respondent's Board of
24 Airport Commissioners, or that person's designee. The
25 Department shall act on an Intervenor's written
26 application, and determine whether or not a material
27 matter is in genuine dispute, within 60 days of receipt
28 of the written application, unless the Intervenor and the

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 9/19/95
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business, City Manager
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Proposal to modify the existing Residential Sound Insulation Program to permit citizen participation
(20 %) in support of the program
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1 Discuss the proposal
2 Take action as appropriate on the proposal
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On June 1, 1993 the City Council approved the Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Program That
program was based on a matching grant plan with the FAA providing initial grants for 80% of
program support and the Los Angeles Department of Airports ( LADOA) providing matching grants
applicable as the community's required 20% contribution This program has come to an impasse in
that the LADOA will not authorize funding in accordance with its matching grant program (BOAC
Resolution No 18062), and have offered local jurisdictions no alternative program
The City has ben granted in excess of $2 8 million in FAA funds to date of which approximately
$350 thousand has been spent, most of it being applied to the purchase and renovation of the
Demonstration House In May 1995 the FAA allocated an additional $1 million That allocation
was conditional upon the establishment of an agreement with LADOA or some other funding source
for the 20% match for their grant funds The new program had to be in effect by September 2, 1995
On August 8, 1995, the City Council approved a new RSI program which permits the residents
participating in the program to support the program by paying 20% of the cost for their insulation
There was a strong response from the residents with over 160 applying to participate in the program
which will insulate approximately 50 residences The FAA received the plan and an application for
the new program on August 28 All verbal exchanges up to that date between the City and the FAA
indicated that the allocated grant would be executed On September 11, the FAA informed the City
that the $1M had been reallocated to Reno -Stead Airport in Nevada The reason given was that
Reno -Stead had assumed a pressing priority status It was recommended that the City spend its
existing grant funds by modifying its FAA/LADOA matching grant program to reflect our current
citizen - participation program format In doing so we will be demonstrating our ability to operate a
RSI program effectively and will be viewed as a more viable contender for future FAA funds We
are eligible for new funding in October 1995 and if we show progress in our conversion of our old
FAA/LADOA program to a citizen - participation program, it is likely that we will receive an
allocation of not less than $1 million For this reason it is recommended that the City Council
approve modifying the conditions of the original RSI program to permit citizen participation
(20 %).
With Council's approval, permitting recipients of RSI to fund 20% of the program, the City will
reactivate the original phase of the program, making necessary program modifications and begin
insulating At present approximately 25% of the residents who applied to participate in the
FAA/LADOA funded program have applied to participate in the new program, funding 20% of
insulation they receive The City's contract with Wyle Laboratories will have to be modified to
permit the dimensional and acoustic assessment of the homes of new RSI applicants These contract
changes will be brought to the Council for approval if the recommended program modification is
authorized

to the City Council's approving the creation of the Airport Projects
Administrator position. As a result, the ESILUP provides for the utiliza-
tion of consultants to assume major responsibility for all phases of the
residential sound insulation program. With the hiring of the Airport
Projects Administrator, who will assume full project management of the
sound insulation program, the City Council may wish to amend the ESILUP by

EL SEGUNDO INCOMPATIBLE LAND USE PLAN
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Incompatible Land Use Plan was prepared by the City of El Segundo in response
to the requirements set forth in the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners Resolution
No 18062 for receipt of matching funding for FAA Part 150 Grant funds. It is the City's
intent to utiltze the funds received from both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the
Los Angeles Department of Airports (LADOA) to bring all eligible incompatible land within its
jurisdiction into compliance with the California Airport Noise Standards. This will be
accomplished through sound insulation of El Segundo residences within the Community Noise
Equivalent Level (CNEL) 65 dB noise contour for 100% Stage 3 aircraft operations from Los
Angeles International Airport (LAX). These dwellings are located in the northwestern portion
of the City.
2.0 BACKGROUND
In the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) developed under the Pan 150 Study for
LAX, a continuing aircraft noise exposure problem for the City of El Segundo was identified.
The future Noise Exposure Map, submitted to the FAA as a pan of the study, showed that
4,360 dwelling units in El Segundo were expected to be within the CNEL 65 dB noes,
exposure contour. This estimate was based on 1987 annual aircraft operations. A second
scenano was subsequently developed for projected LAX aircraft operations based on a 100%
Stage 3 fleet for calendar year 1985. With the attendant reduction in aircraft noise, it was
estimated that 2,154 dwellings would be contained within the CNEL 65 dB contour.
One feature of the LAX Pan 150 program is that land use actions, identified in the NCP
and approved by the FAA, can be federally funded under the FAA Airport Improvement
Program (AW). Under this pan of the AIP, either an adjoining city or an airport may apply for
funding for various projects, including sound insulation. As the (Sty is nearing build out, the
primary focus of the Put 150 program in El Segundo will be on dwelling acoustical treatment.

Cm_= -1
Until recently, the availability of supplementary funding from the LADOA was
contingent on participating homeowners agreeing to an avigatton easement. However, on May
27, 1992, the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners adopted Resolution 18062 which
provides an alternative to the avigation noise easement requirement. In accordance with
LADOA requirements, the City of El Segundo must submit the following three documents to
qualify for LADOA funding: (1) an executed Letter of Agreement (prepared by LADOA) which
addresses several conditions for receipt of LADOA funding; (2) a Land Use Incompatibility
Program Plan which sets forth the City's long -term plan to bring all eligible incompatible land
within its jurisdiction into compliance with the California Airport Noise Standards; and (3) a
separate Project Plan for specific properties to be sound - insulated with each (annual) allocation
of combined FAA and LADOA funds. The City must also submit an updated version of the
Plan annually which defines the status of all aspects of the El Segundo residential sound
insulation program. This Incompatible Land Use Plan is being submitted to satisfy Item 2.
3.0 PROGRAM PRIORITIES AND GUIDELINES
The El Segundo Incompatible Land Use Plan has been prepared in accordance with the
following guidelines:
• Achieve compatibility for all land areas within the CNEL 65 dB contour (for
100% Stage 3 aircraft operations) based on a residential sound insulation
program conducted in accordance with LADOA requirements set forth in
Resolution 18062,
• Conduct the program with a systematic procedure commencing from the highest
CNEL zone to the CNEL 65 dB noise contour.
• Issue a certificate of land use compatibility for each eligible property to the
property owner, the LADOA and the State of California Division of Aeronautics
certifying that the property has been sound insulated to at least an interior CNEL
of 45 dB in sU habitable rooms; or if the property owner declines sound
insulation, the property shall be considered a compatible land use as provided in
Section 3014 of the California Airport Noise Standards.

3 rn_z- 3
• Establish the most expeditious schedule possible based on the assumption that
annual FAA grants will be thatched by LADOA, up to a limit of $2 million per
year.
4.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM AREA
The area to be addressed in the El Segundo Incompatible Land Use Plan is depicted in
Figure 1. This is a CNEL contour trap (provided by LADOA) showing the projected noise
impact on the City of El Segundo from a IOD% Stage 3 aircraft fleet operating from LAX.
In a 1983 study (Wyle Research Report WR 83 -23, "Development Plan for Retrofit
Sound Insulation of Residences at Los Angeles International Airport — Final Report," July
1983), costs and procedures for providing sound insulation for all residential dwellings
impacted by LAX operations were developed for two cases. Case 1 addressed dwellings within
the projected 1987 CNEL 65 contour assuming no accelerated introduction of Stage 3
operations; Case 2 was based on the projected 1985 CNEL contour with all aircraft meeting the
FAR Pan 36 Stage 3 noise limits. Dwelling count statistics were obtained for both cases.
A preliminary set of 1OD% Stage 3 contours has recently been provided to the City of El
Segundo by LADOA; dwelling count data for these contours is not yet available. Howeve- the
general shape of contours provided by LADOA is similar to that of the 1985 study. There;
house count data from this earlier report will be used to provide a gross estimate of the number
of dwellings within the 1OD% Stage 3 contours in Figure 1. This dwelling count data is
provided in Table 1.
S.0 DWELLING SELECTION PROCEDURE
A dwelling selection priority plan for the City of El Segundo has been developed for the
residential sound insulation projects jointly funded by the FAA and LADOA. In accordance
with LADOA requirements, this plan will be based on a systematic, prioritized schedule
commencing with the highest CNEL zone. This plan will involve the tasks listed below.
1. Define Project Area

CNEL contours — November 1992) overlaying residential properties has been
provided by LADOA (Figure 1).
2. Identify Compatibiclincompatible Dwellings in Project Area
Incompatible properties in the project area ate defined in the California State
Noise Standards. These will be primarily single and multifamily residential
dwellings. However, the dwellings in the Hillcrest Project (Precise Plan 1 -76)
may be compatible due to the fact that when those dwellings were constructed,
the developer was required to incorporate appropriate sound insulation
techniques into the design. Subsequently, noise measurements were conducted
(on a random basis) to evaluate the noise reduction achieved
In addition, multiunit dwellings required to meet the minimum noise insulation
performance standards of Title 24 State Building Code (which became effective
Septemba 22, 1974) will be examined to detem»ne if any are compatible. Title
24 requires achievement of interior noise reduction to accomplish an interior
CNEL of 45 dB for all dwellings in the CNEL 60 dB contour.
Verification of the noise reduction characteristics of both dwellings in the
Hillcrest Project and multiunit dwellings (built after September 22, 1974) will
require detailed inspections of the structures, review of building plans and
possibly, acoustical measurements.
3. Dwelling Selection Guidelines
LADOA requites that the Land Use Incompatibility Program Plan set forth a
systematic method for selection of eligible swcttttes to receive sound insulation
on a property -by- property basis comnmencing with the highest CNEL zone and
paoceeding to the CNEL 65 dB contour.
It is therefore proposed that the City of El Segundo proceed with a systematic
program to eliminate incompatible property in accordance with two plans. Plan
A will be for sound insulation of single family (RI) and two family (R2)
structures. Plan B will be for insulation of multifamily (R3) structures.
R
�.rn-:1:'1
Available FAA/ LADOA funding will be divided equally between the two plans
Much will be conducted simultaneously.
The El Segundo plan for dividing available funds between single family and
multifamily dwellings will clearly accelerate reduction of the impact area. This
is because the property occupied by a single family dwelling is frequently
equivalent in size to the property occupied by a Imp multifamily structure. As
a multifamily structure costs significantly more to insulate than a single family
unit, funds spent on making single family units compatible will be more cost -
effective in reducing the impact area Both plans will employ identical dwelling
selection guidelines which are described below.
The two sound insulation plans will proceed essentially on a block -by -block
basis from the highest noise zone to the 100% Stage 3 CNEL 65 dB contour. A
geographic unit referred to as a "street segment," will be used to define a
geographic area receiving sound insulation in a particular phase of the El
Segundo program. A sheet segment is comprised of all the dwellings on both
sides of a sum contained within a single block. All dwellings in the bounded
area with a post office address on the particular street will be considered as part
of that street segment. EI Segundo area streets are generally parailr
perpendicular to Imperial Avenue, which runs east and west. Street segments
parallel to Imperial will be referred to as EW Street Segments. Street Segments
perpendicular to Imperial will be referred to as NS Street Segments.
If a street segment is bisected by CNEL noise contours, the following will
apply: if over 50 percent of the dwellings contained by the segment an in the
higher CNEL zone, then all dwellings in the segment will be assigned to this
noise zone. If less than 50 percent of the dwellings ate in the higher zone, then
all dwellings will be assigned to the lower noise zone. However, if any potion
of a street segment is within the 100% Stage 3 CNEL 65 dB worn» r, the entire
street segment will be considered to be within the oontmtr.
Street segments will generally be categorized with reference to a one decibel
CNEL zone. With reference to Figure 1, the sequence of CNEL zones will be
greater than 72 dB, 71 to 72 dB, 70 to 71 dB, etc., down to the 100% Stage 3
CNEL 65 dB contour.
7
Street segments will be numbered to reflect the priority of each segment in the
overall El Segundo sound insulation plan. Segment numbers will therefore
commence in the highest noise zone at the northwest corner of the city and
proceed eastward until the contours defining the zone reach the city hrmt The
segment numbers will then continue (west to east) in the next lower zone —
again starting at the western edge of the city. Table 2 lists the first 10 street
segments for the plan. It is recognized that adjustments to the selection plan
will be required for some cul-de -sacs and other unique street configurations.
Both Plan A and Plan B sound insulation will commence simultaneously at the
northwest corner of the City on Imperial Avenue. Both plans will employ the
same street segments; however, Plan A will address only RI and R2 properties
on a street segment while Plan B will address R3 properties on this same street
segment. If sufficient funds are not available to provide insulation for a
complete multiple family dwelling, the next multifamily dwelling (apamnent
building or condominium) in the prionty list will be offered insulation.
Buildings passed over due to insufficient funding will retain their initial pnority
in future phases.
The area defined as a street segment tray include single family, duplex, and
multifamily dwellings. Although the sequence of sound insulation for Plan A
and Plan B dwellings is the same, the two plans will proceed at different rates
depending on the number of incompatible structures to be sound - insulated on a
given street segment and the rate at which funding (FAA plus LADOA) is
granted and expended. However, no residential unit which is not part of a
street segment within the 100% Stage 3 CNEL 65 dB contour shall be
acoustically treated before all residential units within the 10096 Stage 3 contours
have been reared or the owner has been offered and declined treatment
The purposed plan will allow establishing the order of sound insulation for all
dwellings in each project plan (in trans of street segments) within the City of El
Segundo early in the program. This tabulation will become an amendment to
this tepom

4. Process Land Use Compatibility Certificates
An initial step prior to sound insulation will be to contact the owners of
properties tentatively selected for the program, explain the requirements for a
"certificate of land use compatibility." We have been advised by the LADOA
Noise Management Bureau that this document will be provided to the City by
LADOA. If the property owner accepts sound insulation and the sound
insulation dwelling modifications are successfully installed, then the property
will be deemed compatible, or (2) if the owner declines sound insulation, the
property will be considered "compatible land use" per Section 5014 of the
California Airport Noise Standard which states, "The airport proprietor has
made a genuine effort ... to acoustically treat residences ..." For a given
multiunit apartment building to be considered compatible, all living units in the
apartment would require sound insulation. If individual owners in a
condominium complex included in the program decline to participate, then their
units would be deemed compatible usage under the State Noise Standards.
S. Commence Sound Insulation/Execute Certificam
The final step will be planning and initiation of the sound insulation on the
selected project dwellings. The final designation of project dwellings — number,
type, location, etc. — will not be possible until a certificate of compatibility is
provided for each property area in the project. At that time, a firm list of project
participants will be established. The certificate will be held until sound
insulation has been satisfactorily completed; at that time, it will be recorded by
the City.
6.0 PRELIMINARY COST ANALYSIS FOR THE EL SEGUNDO
RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM
The present value casts for sound insulation of El Segundo dwellings were derived
from the project report for an LADOA sound insulation program completed in 1990 (Wyle
Research Report WR 90-13, "Stages 1, 2, and 3 of a Sound Insulation Program for Dwellings
in the Vicinity of Los Angeles International Airport - Final Report," December 1990).
Estimated sound insulation costs have been revised, adjusted for inflation, and include a 20%
10
allowance for architectural and engineering support. The estimated costs are presented in
Table 3 This preliminary analysis of the costs for conducting the El Segundo residential
sound insulation program is based on the following assumptions:
•
All future dwelling sound insulation costs in this Plan will be presented as
"present value" estimates.
• Estimates of the total costs for insulation of both single and multifamily
dwellings are developed for insulation of dwellings within the 100% Stage 3
contours depicted in Figure 1.
• For projections of future sound insulation costs, it is assumed that up to $2
million per year from the FAA will be matched by $2 million per year from
LADOA for an annual El Segundo sound insulation budget of S4 million.
• Combined FAA and LADOA funding will be divided equally between single and
multifamily dwellings in accordance with the procedures given in Section 5.0.
• The total program costs were determined by multiplying the individual sound
insulation costs shown in Table 3 by the number of dwellings within each of the
10096 Stage 3 contour zones shown in Table 1. Actual costs will exceed the
estimated figures, as dwellings must be treated to be compatible in the current
year aircraft noise environment. The total costs were therefore adjusted to
include the additional treatment required.
• Based on these estimating procedures, the total cow for the El Segundo
residential sound insulation program are estimated to be approximately S36
million.
Costs are in 1993 present value dollars and are not adjusted for inflation in future years. Unit
costs utilized for the estimate are based on average costs for prior LAX sound insulation
programs. The program cost estimate will be revised as updated information is developed
concerning dwelling count and single and multifamily sound insulation costs.

J, 0 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES
Overall program management will be provided by El Segundo City staff, in accordance
with policies and priorities set by the El Segundo City Council. Staff will assume
responsibility for carrying out project priorities, interaction with the FAA and LADOA, and
overall coordination with property owners - particularly in regard to acquiring and recording a
Certificate of Compatibility for all properties in the project area.
The City of El Segundo will hire a consultant(s) to take major responsibility for all
phases of the project. The consultant will assume the role of project manager conducting the
various management design and coordination functions requited in the program. The City of
El Segundo will review and approve all interaction with property owners in regard to dwelling
selection, selection of building contractors, and interaction with residents. however, the
dwelling modifications will be conducted by a general construction contractor under a connect
directly with the City of El Segundo.
8.0 REPORTING PROCEDURES
The following repotting procedures will be adhered to by the City during program
implementation.
Project Review Meetings - Project review meetings to be held with LADOA are
proposed as follows:
12
'(�M -S-�
Prior to receiving FAA's grant to present City plan for expenditure of combined
funds.
Following initial interaction with property owners to determine which dwellings
will receive residential sound insulation and which have declined the offer and
are therefore compatible (in accordance with the California State Standards).
Certificates of Compatibility will be reviewed.
After completion of residential sound insulation for all project dwellings, review
program history and present results of acoustic measurements to evaluate
residential sound insulation.
Progress Reports — To be submtned monthly to LADOA and FAA during active phases
of the program, these reports will summarize program progress and expenditures.
Final Project Report — Submitted at completion of each project phase funded jointly by
an FAA grant and LADOA. This report will provide a review of all aspects of program
implementation, evaluation of project effectiveness, and a list of all project properties.
Annual Cumulative Progress Report — Provide an updated tabulation of all program
financial transactions (reimbursement records, receipt of FAA grants, receipt of LADOA
matching funds, expenditures of funds by category — city, consultant, contractor); func
associated with residential sound insulation for each dwelling in program.
9.0 REVISION OF EL SEGUNDO BUILDING CODE
The City of El Segundo has an historical interest in promoting an acceptable city noise
environment. This has been addressed in the Noise Element of the Cancral Plan which states:
"All new habitable residential construction in areas of the City with an annual CNEL of
60 dB(A) or higher shall include all mitigation measures necessary to reduce interior
noise levels to minimum State standards. Post-construction acoustical analysis shall be
performed to demonstrate compliance."
The City of El Segundo intends to adopt local building code regulations to ensure that
owners of any eligible property who have received public funds shall be responsible for
13
Cm —j - 14
ensuring that all habitable rooms subsequently to be added will be constructed to provide noise
reduction at an interior CNEL not to exceed 45 dB(A).
In addition, it is also the City of El Segundo's intention that building codes adopted by
the City shall provide a requirement that appropriate sound insulation be provided in all new or
remodeled structures within the Stage 3 CNEL 65 dB contour.

EL SEGUNDO RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION
PROJECT PLAN NO. I
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document is Project Plan Number 1 to support the City of El Segundo's first
request for FAR 150 Grant thatching funding from the Los Angeles Department of Aupotts
(LADOA) in the amount of $408,880, in accordance with the Board of Airport
Commissioner's Resolution No. 18062. Background information on the El Segundo
residential sound insulation program, a detailed description of program objectives, program
implementation details, the pnondradon schedule, and dwelling selection procedures have been
set forth in the El Segundo Airport Incompatible Land Use Program Plan (ILUP) separately
submitted to the LADOA. The residential sound insulation project addressed in this Project
Plan will be conducted in accordance with the procedures described in the ILUP.
2.0 DWELLING SELECTION GUIDELINES
A systematic procedure for dwelling selection was described in the Incompatible Land
Use Plan. This procedure is summarized in this section. This sound insulation program will
be conducted in accordance with two plans. Plan A will be for sound insulation of single
family and duplex structures. Plan B will be for insulation of multifamily (R3) structures.
Available FAAA ADOA funding will be divided equally between the two plans which will be
conducted simultaneously. Both plans will employ identical dwelling selection guidelines
which ate described below.
The two sound insulation plans will proceed essentially on a block -by -block basis from
the highest noise zone to the 10096 Stage 3 Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) 65 dB
contour. A geographic unit referred to as a "street segment," will be used to define a
geographic area receiving sound insulation in a particular phase of the El Segundo program. A
street segment is composed of all the dwellings on both sides of a street contained within a
single block. All dwellings in the bounded area with a post office address on the particular
street will be considered as part of than strew segment. El Segundo streets are generally parallel
or perpendicular to Imperial Avenue, which runs east and west. Street segments parallel to
1
C (Y\ y - Ve
Imperial will be referred to as EW Street Segments. Street segments perpendicular to Imperial
will be referred to as NS Street Segments.
If a street segment is bisected by CNEL noise contours, the following will apply: if
over 50 percent of the dwellings contained by the segment are in the higher CNEL zone, then
all dwellings in the segment will be assigned to this noise zone. If less than 50 percent of the
dwellings are in the higher zone, then all dwellings will be assigned to the lower noise zone.
However, if any portion of a street segment is within the 100% Stage 3 CNEL 65 dB contour,
the entire street segment will be considered to be within the comtotx.
Street segments will generally be categorized with reference to a one decibel CNEL
zone. With reference to Figure 1, the sequence of CNEL zones will be: greater than 72 dB, 71
to 72 dB, 70 to 71 dB, etc., down to the CNEL 65 dB contour.
Street segments will be numbered to reflect the priority of each segment in the overall El
Segundo ILUP. Segment numbers will therefore commence in the highest noise zone at the
northwest corner of the city and proceed eastward until the contours defining the zone teach the
City irmrL The segment numbers will then continue (west to east) in the next lower zone —
again starting at the western edge of the city. Table 1 lists the first 10 street segments for the
plan. It is recognized that adjustments to the selection plan will be requited for some cul -de-
sacs and other unique sneer configurations.
Both Plan A and Plan B sound insulation will commence simultaneously at the
northwest corner of the City on Imperial Avenue. Both plans will employ the same street
segments; however, Plan A will address only single family and duplex on a segment while
Plan B will address multifamily units. If sufficient funds ate not available to provide insulation
for a complete multiple family dwelling, the next multifamily dwelling (apartment building or
condominium) in the priority list will be offered insulation. Buildings passed over due to
insufficient funding will Lenin their initial priority in future phases.
The area defined as a street segment may include both single family and multifamily
dwellings. Although the sequence of sound insulation for Plan A and Plan B dwellings is the
same, the two plans will proud at different sates depending on the number of incompatible
structures to be sound - insulated on a given segment and the rate at which funding (FAA plus
LADOA) is expended. However, no sound insulation shall be funded on a street segment

3.0 FUNDING SOURCES FOR PROJECT PLAN NO. I
Funding in the amount of $408,880 is requested from LADOA to match FAA funds
previously received by the City under AIP Projea No. 34)60139 -N8 for sound insulation of a
Demonstration House. These LADOA funds will be combined with the $66,208 remaining in
the FAA Grant (following completion of the Demonstration Home) to provide insulation for
dwellings in El Segundo (see Table 2). With the matching funds from LADOA, a total of
5475,088 will be available to conduct sound insulation in accordance with the ILUP. The
costs for implementing sound insulation for single/duplex and multifamily dwellings was
provided in the ILUR it is also presented in this Project Plan in Table 3.
4.0 PROJECT PLAN NO. I SELECTION OF DWELLINGS
Figure 2 is a map of the project area where the El Segundo sound insulation program
will be initiated. This figure provides the addresses for both single family and multifamily
dwellings. All dwellings in this initial program will require sound insulation appropriate for
the >75 dB CNEL zone (see LAX 2Q92 Report).
In accordance with the guidelines for dwelling selection in Section 2.0, the available
funding of 5475,088 will be divided equally between single family/duplex and multifamily
units. Using the figums from Table 2, the funding would permit:

Until the details of the program are explained to the individual property owners and
these owners decide whether they wish to participate in the project and sign a Certificate of
Compatibility, the specific dwellings for the project cannot be established.
In addition, the individual dwelling sound insulation coats given in Table 3 are
estimates for an average structure in the LAX impact area. Individual costs for single/two
family and multi -unit dwellings will differ depending on the chxrocaristics of the structure and
the number of dwellings to the program. As this project is for a very limited number of
dwellings, construction costs may exceed the estimates given in Table 3.

RESIDENTIAL SOUND
INSULATION PROGRAM
n, m - -- Z-1
PREFACE
(Optional)
(This could be an overview by a City official)
The City of El Segundo is undertaking a residential sound insulation program to reduce aircraft noise
levels in homes located near Los Angeles International Airport at no cost to the homeowner
It is an exciting program which will eventually be expanded to include all single and multi- family
units in the City of El Segundo which are severely impacted by aircraft noise. Improvements will be
undertaken in each of the residences to assure acceptable noise reduction levels. These can include
the installation of acoustic windows and doors, extra insulation in attics and, in some cases, the
installation of secondary wall and ceiling materials.
Seven single - family horses and 33 apartment units in the City have already received sound insula-
non under previous programs conducted by the Los Angeles Department of Airports. The occu-
pants of these dwellings are very pleased with the reduction in aircraft noise resulting from the sound
insulation. Additionally, a single - family residence located at 910 Hillcrest Street in El Segundo has
been sound - utsulated and will serve as a Demonstration House and Temporary Project Office. We
urge you to visit the Project Office to personally experience the effects of the sound insulation
Note: DraWngs and photos to be included in the broehun are idenhjlied in capitol letters.

Section 1
INTRODUCTION
The City of El Segundo is implementing a
program to provide sound insulation for homes
impacted by noise from aircraft operations at Los
Angeles International Airport. This program will
be funded jointly by the Federal Aviation
Administration and the Los Angeles Department
of Airports The program will be managed by the
City of El Segundo's Airport Projects
Administrator with technical support provided by
an Architect/Engineer — a consultant to be hued
by the City.
The program will be implemented in a systematic
manner, commencing (initially) with dwellings
experiencing severe aircraft noise adjacent to
LAX and proceeding southward into the City
during subsequent program phases, until such
time as all houses within the 100% Stage 3 CNEL
65 contour have been sound - insulated (see
Section 4)
IW% STAGE 3 CNEL CONTOURS
Acoustic engineers and architects will work with
each selected homeowner to develop a set of
building modifications which are aesthetically
acceptable while at the same time achieving the
desired interior noise goals of the program.
Typically, these modifications will include
upgraded windows and exterior doors and, in
higher noise areas, interior wall and ceiling
treatments. Noise measurements will be carved
out before and after the dwelling modifications
are applied Frequent on -site inspections will be
conducted to ensure that the work has been done
properly
This booklet is intended to provide information
this sound insulation program to interested
residents in the project area so that they may m
an informed decision as to whether or not they
would like to volunteer for participation in the
program
A Demonstration Horne and Temporary Project
Office has been established at 910 Hillcrest St.
All rooms in this dwelling have been sound -
insulated Interested El Segundo residents are
invited to visit the Project Office and directly
experience the reduction in interior noise levels
from aircraft overflights resulting from the
application of sound insulation. Contact the El
Segundo Airport Projects Administrator at 310/
322 -4670 to make an appointment to inspect
the Temporary Project Office.

Section 2
DESCRIPTION OF THE SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM
This section answers questions about the
Procedures to be used in choosing the El
Segundo dwellings to receive sound insulation.
How will the participants be chosen?
Dwellings (single- family, duplex, tri –plex, and
multiunit) will be selected based on a systematic
Procedure. The initial phase will begin with
dwelling units in the highest noise zone
(northwest corner) in the City and continue
toward the limit of the 100% Stage 3 CNEL 65
dB contour.
We expect the program to be funded in annual
increments, with grants from the FAA matching
funds to be provided by the LADOA.
Each year, property owners who may qualify for
the program will be notified by mail. A City
representative will subsequently contact the
homeowner by telephone to set up a meeting to
discuss the procedures and requirements for
participation.
How can I get more information to help me
decide if I want to participate?
As mentioned above, participation is based on a
prioritized system and you will be contacted by
the City However, descriptive information can
be obtained from the Airport Projects
Administrator at City Hall located at 350 Main
St
What happens after my home is selected?
At the initial meeting in the Temporary Project
Office, which will take about I hour, a City
representative will discuss the program with you
and answer any questions you might have.
You will be given a copy of the Land Use
Compatibility Certificate which you will be
asked to sign before the sound insulation
modifications for your home are started. You
will not have to sign this document at this first
meeting but will be able to study it at your
leisure.
Finally, you will be given a "Request to
Participate' form that you must sign and return to
the project office if you desire to continue in the
Program. This document indicates your
willingness to sign the Land Use Compatibility
Certificate and continue with the program if the
sound insulation plans developed for your home
are mutually acceptable.
At this fast meeting, or shortly thereafter, an
architect will visit your home for approximately
one -half hour to examine it for building code
compliance. We are not able to accommodate
major improvements to the home that are not
related to sound insulation but which current
housing codes might require.
What happens next, V I decide to participate?
If your home has no major code deficiencies and
you have returned a signed "Request to
Participate form, an appointment will be made
for a second visit to your home. At this time, an
architect will sketch the floor plan and measure
room, door, and window sizes. These data will
be used for preparation of sound insulation plans
PHOTO — TECHNICIAN CONDUCTING
NOISE MEASUREMENTS
Cm -J7-30
An acoustic engineer will subsequently conduct
interior and exterior acoustic measurements.
Weather and the number of aircraft overflights
permitting, this process should take no more than
four hours. All of this information will be used
to determine the optimum combination of sound
insulation modifications needed to achieve the
desired interior noise goals for the program.
When the design of the proposed sound
insulation modifications for your home is
completed, a third visit to your home of
approximately 1 hour duration will be arranged.
At this time, a City representative will present
you with the plan of the proposed modifications.
Each element of the proposed modifications will
be explained and all questions answered. Any
requested changes to the plan will be considered.
The Land Use Compatibility Certificate must be
signed at this time if you intend to participate in
the program.
DRAWING — FLOOR PLAN
Once the modification plans are satisfactory to
each party, they will become pan of an
Authorization to Proceed agreement that is
signed by both parties This document will
contain the following elements-
An agreement by the City of El Segundo
to have a contractor provide the agreed -
upon sound insulation modifications;
An agreement by you not to engage that
contractor in any additional work beyond
that contracted by the My of El Segundo
while the sound insulation modifications
are in progress;
An agreement by you to provide
reasonable access to your home for the
contractor, the City, and the City's
representatives and for you to be present
(or have an authorized representative
present) during such visits; and
An agreement by you to perform any pre -
work necessary to prepare your home for
the sound insulation modifications.
When will construcdon begin?
When the designs and necessary bid documents
for a group of homes are completed, a set of bid
documents will be prepared and then advertised
for bid. During the bid process, it may be
necessary for contractors to inspect some or all
the homes included in the bid package. Any such
visits will be coordinated by City
representatives, who will attempt to minimize
interruption to the homeowner /occupant.
Construction on the homes should begin shortly
after a contract is awarded. Actual work on any
given hone should take plaza over a period of
from one to three weeks, depending on the extent
of the modifications to be done. Every attempt
will be made to accommodate the homeowner's
schedule in the construction process.
You will be able to live in your home during the
entire construction process and every attempt
will be made to minimize intrusion into your
normal activities. Construction debris will be
removed and your home will be secured at the
end of each work day. The City staff will be
available throughout the construction process to
answer any questions and respond to any
concerns.
CM-7-51
Throughout the construction process, City
representatives will inspect the materials and
workmanship being used. This procedure will
insure a high level of quality control for the
Project. When all the work on the home is
completed, a City representative will visit the
home to check that all the work has been
Properly done. Any deficiencies noted will be
Mrrected by the contractor.

PHOTO — RSI WORK IN PROGRESS
Shortly after modifications on a group of homes
are complete, acoustic measurements will be
trade in each home to determine if the sound
insulation goals of the program are achieved.
This process will be similar to that which was
initially carried out and should require
approximately four hours, weather and the
number of plane overflights permitting.
About a month after the sound insulation
modifications have been completed, a
questionnaire will be sent to you inquiring
about your satisfaction with the new noise
environment inside your home. You should
complete this as soon as possible and return it to
the protect office The analysis of the responses
from the participants of the program will be an
important element in developing the procedures
for future phases of the program.

Section 3
PROCEDURES FOR RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION
This section answers questions about the
procedures and materials that are commonly
used to improve the noise level reduction of a
home's structure
What types of things are done to sound insulate
a home?
The mayor paths by which noise from outside the
home travels to its inside are through openings in
the building's structure. When these have been
sealed, by repairing holes and cracks and closing
windows and doors, the windows and doors then
become the major noise path.
Adding tight sealing windows and doors
provides some improvement but, in many cases,
specialized acoustic windows and solid -core
doors, which transmit less noise than do normal
units, is required.
In higher noise zones it is sometimes necessary
to add secondary interior walls and ceilings to
some rooms to achieve the interior noise goals.
In El Segundo, the normal flight paths are
usually on the north side of the house and it may
be sufficient to provide such treatments only to
rooms on the sides facing the flight paths
Thermal insulation is added to attic spaces and
between secondary and primary wall structures
to prevent the reverberant build -up of sound
energy Baffles are added to arc and through -
the -wall ventilation openings to prevent straight
line paths for noise to enter. Crawlspace
ventilation openings are baffled to prevent
outside noise from entering living areas through
the floor

SOUND TRANSMISSION PATHS INTO
DWELLING
What are acoustic windows?
In higher noise areas, normal house windows do
not provide enough sound insulation to meet the
noise goals of the program. It is expected that
acoustic windows will have to be used in these
areas. An acoustic window unit consists of two
panes of glass, separated by an air space of
approximately two inches. The window frame
must be specially designed so that it provides
sound insulation equivalent to the dual window
panes.
Although normal thermal pane windows contain
two panes of glass, their separation is not great
enough to isolate each pane from the other and
they vibrate as a single unit. As a result, such
thermal windows are generally not equivalent to
an acoustic window.
In cases where a secondary interior wall is to be
installed in a room, an alternate to the
replacement of the existing windows with
acoustic windows is the addition of secondary
normal windows in the secondary wall
Examples of acoustic window systems can be
seen in the Temporary Project Office
Cm -s -33
ACOUSTICAL WINDOW SYSTEM
SECONDARY WINDOW SYSTEM
What types of doors are used?
Hollow -core and panel exterior doors do not
usually provide enough noise reduction to meet
the noise goals of the project. Such light - weight
doors are replaced with acoustic (solid -core
wood) doors. It may not be necessary to replace
existing exterior solid core doors that are in good
condition In many cases, specialized door seals
and secondary doors will have to be added.
What are secondary walls?
In higher noise areas, it is often necessary to add
interior walls to those rooms facing the flight
paths. Such modifications can range from the
simple attachment of an extra layer or two of
gypsumboard to the existing wall to the addition
of a separate isolated wall unit
TYPES OF WALL MODIFICATIONS
R
What is done to ceilings?
In most cases it is only necessary to add
additional thermal insulation in the attic space of
the house. In higher noise areas, it is necessary
to attach an extra layer or two of gypsum board
to the existing ceiling in rooms that are not
Isolated from sound entering through the roof by
a second floor or an attic.
There are so many possibilities! How do you
decide on what combination of things to do?
A Sound Insulation Design Guide has been
Prepared by the Los Angeles Department of
Airports. This document is based on previous
sound insulation programs around LAX and
provides basic directions to the City and their
consultant by identifying the modifications
necessary to modify dwellings in each noise
zone. In addition, acoustic measurements will
be made to determine the current sound
insulation properties of your house and
measurements will be made of room, door, and
window sizes. Acoustical engineers and
architects will use this informanon in preparing
the sound insulation modification designs that
will be presented to you for approval.

SOME ACOUSTIC CONCEPTS
This section answers some of the common
questions about the acoustic terms used to
describe a Sound Insulation Program.
What is a decibel?
Sound energy is measured in units called
decibels, abbreviated as dB The decibel scale is
different than normal measurement - scales in that
a halving of sound energy corresponds to a
decrease of 3 dB, and not a halving of the
number of decibels as might be expected. Such
a scale is called a logarithmic scale and the
quantity being described is called a sound level.
Noise measurements for sound insulation
Projects and other studies dealing with human
reaction to noise are usually "A- weighted,"
designated as "dB" in this booklet.
Although a 3 dB decrease in sound level
corresponds to a halving of the sound energy
received at a person's ear, it does not correspond
to a halving of the amount of noise perceived by
that person because of the nature of the hearing
process In fact, a 5 dB decrease is about the
minimum change easily noticeable. On average,
it takes a 10 dB decrease in sound level, which
corresponds to one -tenth of the original sound
energy, in order for a person to judge the sound
to be "half as loud."

What is CNEL and how does it relate to
ordinary sound measurements?
CNEL stands for Community Noise Exposure
Level. It is a particular way of averaging the
total sound energy that is received at a given
location during a 24 -hour period, in which
evening (7 PM to 10 PM) sound levels are
penalized by the artificial addition of 5 dB and
nighttime (10 PM to 7 AM) sound levels are
penalized by 10 dB.
Since values of CNEL are closely associated
with a community's reaction to noise, they are
used by the State of California and the Federal
Aviation Administration to describe the exposure
to aircraft noise. Federal funding is normally
available to sound insulate homes in locations
having CNEL values greater than 65 dB
Since the value of CNEL is an average sound
level, it does not represent any actual momentary
sound level measurement. When a plane flies
over a home, maximum "tenor sound levels
higher than the CNEL value at the residence are
experienced. However, when these maximum
levels are averaged with the lower background
levels that occur when no planes are present, the
result is a value between the maximum and the
background levels. Actually, since CNEL is the
average of the sound energy, not the sound level,
the resultant average value is much closer to the
maximum levels than to the background levels.
What are the interior noise goals for the
program?
In its Airport Improvement Program Handbook,
the Federal Aviation Administration requires that
the home sound insulation projects which they
fund achieve an interior CNEL of 45 dB in major
habitable rooms for aircraft operations
Therefore, at least 20 dB of noise level reduction
Cm -T - ice
from outside to inside must be provided in major
habitable rooms of a residence located in an area
where the exterior CNEL is 65 dB. Similarly, in
an area having an exterior CNEL of 70 dB, a
minimum noise level reduction of 25 dB must be
provided
In addition, since it takes an improvement of at
least 5 dB in noise level reduction to be
perceptible to the average person, the Federal
Aviation Administranon requites that any
residential noise insulation project must be
designed to provide at least that amount of
improvement. Both of these criteria are
minimum goals required by the Federal Aviation
Administration

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who decides what type of modifications will
be done to my home?
The sound insulation modification
recommendations for your home will be
based on the Sound Insulation Design Guide
prepared by the Los Angeles Department of
Airports. This document identifies the
dwelling modifications required to achieve
`- the desired noise goals of the program. These
modifications will be discussed in detail with
you before work is begun. Any changes to
the original plans will be agreed upon by you
and the program staff
J recently installed new windows and doors.
Will the program reimburse me for these
improvements?
Improvements completed by the homeowner
prior to participating in the sound insulation
program are not eligible for reimbursement.
Will air conditioning be provided?
In order that the sound insulation
modifications be effective, windows and
doors must be kept closed at all times. In
order to provide comfort during warm, humid
months, a central forced air ventilation system
will be supplied as part of the sound
insulation modification package if the home
does not already have one Existing forced
air systems will be modified to provide for the
introduction of fresh outside air and, if
necessary, upgraded to provide the necessary
comfort level At present, the Federal
Aviation Administration will only provide
funds for air conditioning systems equal to
the amount that the required ventilation
system would cost.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 8/8/95
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business, City Manager
WENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration by City Council to offer residents 80% funding for residential sound insulation (RSI) program
RECOMMENDE5 COUNCIL ACTION:
1 Discussion
2. Approval of Plan to offer 80% funding for residential sound insulation to residents willing to contribute
20% payment for insulating their residence against airport noise
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The FAA RSI grant program is an 80120% shared cost program The FAA provides 80% of the cost of RSI
The City must develop the source for the 20% balance The Los Angeles Department of Airports ( LADOA)
established a program in May, 1992, in which committed to match each FAA grant The City elected to
participate in the LADOA's matching grant program, expending funds and effort to meet all prerequisites. Two
LADOA grants were allocated to the City in the amounts of $408,880.00 and $1,333,333.00. It was anticipated
that the 20% match for the FAA grants would be drawn from the LADOA grants. LADOA has failed to honor
the tenants of its matching grant program and failed to provide El Segundo with any funding.
FAA grants to El Segundo have included the following.
7/90 $ 408,880
5/93 1,400,000
6194 1,000,000
5/95 1,000,000 (current allocabon)
On May 10, 1995, the FAA allocated $1,000,000.00 to the City for RSI. This allocation is different from the FAA
grant allocations which preceded it in that an expiration date is assigned If the City does not have clear
evidence of a viable RSI program included in its project application, to be submitted not later than September 2,
1995, the FAA's $1 million allocation will be withdrawn and the funds committed elsewhere
In order to avoid loosing the current $1 million FAA allocation the City must identify a reliable source for its 20%
matching funds. Possible sources include, but are not limited to the LADOA, the City's General Fund, and
individuals receiving the RSI. It is extremely dplikely that the LADOA will provide the promised funds under
terms acceptable to the City The expenditure of General Fund monies for RSI would not be consmtant with
past City practices If impacted residential unit owners want to proceed with this program at this time, the only
alternative appears to be to have them fund the needed 20 %.
Costs for providing RSI will vary by building size, type and location. Listed below are the estimated costs per
unit for participation in the program The cost figures include construction and program administration costs.

If an owner participation program is approved by the City Council, the public will be notified of this opportunity.
Participation will be on a most- to-least- impacted, first come first serve basis. This program is different from our
current program plan in two respects First, we will not be confining eligibility solely to the most impacted one
or two blocks in the City Second, rather than the City collecting funds from the LADOA, it would collect the
homeowner's 20% contribution at the time the homeowner signs his/her/their Permission to Proceed
Authorization form At that point the homeowner has received a briefing and drawing of exactly what will be
done to the home to meet State noise standards and will know exactly what the work will cost It is estimated
that between 25 and 150 residences can be insulated with the current FAA grant and homeowner contribution of
20% As soon as the City has an acceptable list of qualified participants it will conduct the necessary acoustical
and engineering analyses necessary to create a lid package for contract Simultaneously, a new plan/appica-
bon will be developed for Council approval and submission to the FAA. The new application will address our
new list of homes and the work to be done on them
If there is insufficient interest and no new, viable alternatives then the City will forfeit the current, allocated FAA
grant

a) Provide keys to exterior and any internal doors to Girl Scout leaders.
9) Provide trash bin for Girl Scouts during Girl Scout's clamp of equipment storage areas and
removal of old and unusable materials.
In looking at additional space that could be utilized for Girl Scout meeting places, two other areas
have come to mind —1) the High School teachers' lunchroom adjacent to the student cafeteria
area, which is easily accessible by foot traffic and comment parking avagable; 2) the Arent High
School gyrim asium area (adjacent to the Board of Education meeting room), which is also easily
accessible by foot traffic and convenient nearby packing available. Both of theme areas are unused
in the late afternoon and evening hours and could be made available to Girl Scouts for meeting
purposes

It has been indicated to me that the Mayor placed an "emergency" hem on the City Council
Agenda for the September 5 meeting regarding the School District's decision to utilize the
Madsen House for before and after school daycare for its kindergarten students and the impact of
that decision on the Girl Scouts in El Segundo I have heard several different versions of
comments made by City Council members with regards to this issue, and, as of 2-00 p m. today, I
have not viewed the City Council tape However, since it is important to keep lines of
communication open, I want to provide you with a summary of what has occurred and what
occurred prior to this decision by the School District. Also, I need to reiterate that the School
District absolutely appreciates the impact on the Girl Scouts of El Segundo and is willing in any
way whatsoever to provide additional space or develop a plan to jointly use the Madsen House,
while waiving any direct costs as a result of this anticipated inconvenience
First of all, let me tell you that in the Spring of 1995, I talked with the Director of Recreation and
Parks, Mr. Tim Fauk, asking clarification from the City with regards to who was responsible for
the Madsen House Approximately two weeks after my inquiry, fun returned my telephone call
and indicated that the City determined that the Madsen House was not part of the Amendment to
the Agreement for use of the "playground and recreation area at 615 Richmond Street" (El
Segundo Middle School) and that the School District was responsible for the Madsen House. I
had asked this question because of the condition of the building — both the exterior and interior
In late April, 1995, of the last school year, I contacted Mrs. Patty Wood, the name of the person I
had as the representative of the El Segundo Girl Scouts, and informed her that the number of

kindergarten classes and the number of kindergarten students enrolled in daycare and those on the
waiting list could very+ possibly require the School District to use the Madsen House for a daycare
facility in 1995 -96 I indicated to her if this possibility existed, I would notify her as soon as
possible. I began working with staff to identify all of the kindergarten students for this particular
school year well in advance of this September We have literally "beat the bushes" to get parents
to sign up their students in advance of school opening. On Friday, August 25, I had a tote? of 210
kindergartners signed up (four classrooms — eight kindergarten classes). I had heard on that
particular Friday that there were rumors being circulated that the School District was going to use
the Madsen House for daycare. I called Patty Wood after receiving a call from another Girl Scout
leader and asked if she had heard anything She said the men working at the Madsen House were
telling individuals that the School District was fixing it up for daycare I clarified for Mrs. Wood
that, in fact, we were renovating the exterior and interior of the Madsen House because that
possibility existed. However, as of Friday, August 25, we did not have enough kindergarten
students to consider using it I also indicated at that time that I thought the possibility of using it
was remote.
Well, let me tell you that between Friday, August 25, and Friday, September 1, the School District
enrolled an additional sixteen kindergarten students, which necessitated that we expand
kindergarten by one additional kindergarten class. This also meant that the portable building
behind the Middle School being utilized by The Learning Connection daycare would have to be a
new kindergarten classroom, causing the daycare to be relocated to the Madsen House location I
wrote a letter (a copy of which is attached for your information) to Patty Wood indicating the
situation and also indicated that the School District was willing to work with the Girl Scouts to
locate other available places/spaces for them to meet. Subsequent to that letter, I have talked to
Patty Wood on September 5 (Tuesday) and September 6 (Wednesday) indicating that I felt there
were possibilities for joint use of the facility in the evening hours and that I was willing to meet
with Girl Scout leaders The meeting has been scheduled for Monday, September 11, at 5:00
p.m in the Madsen House. I will be bringing a list of other available School District spaces that
the Girl Scouts can use at no cost — direct or indirect
It was my assumption that information regarding the possibility of using the Madsen House was
communicated to Girl Scout leaders in the late Spring of 1995, but apparently did not get
circulated to all of the Girl Scout leaders I have received calls from two Girl Scout leaders,
however, who indicated that they were told a year ago that this possibility existed, that they were
not surprised by the District's action, and that they have already found alternative locations to
hold their troop meetings
The School District has been operating the TLC for one year, and the enrollment for daycare has
doubled since the YMCA left the School District. The surplus of funds generated from the

operation of the TLC in 1994 -95 was minimal In analyzing the revenue and expenditures, the
School District netted a surplus of $7,514 The turnover in staff, the changes in parent schedules
for their children, and the low rates charged for daycare service are some of the reasons that the
School District made a small surplus Please ]mow that it is the intent of the Board of Education
to provide an affordable before and after school program and that is, obviously, what we are
doing. We have even been criticized for setting our rates too low •
It is obvious that all the facts regarding the District's decision to utilize the Madsen House were
not available to you or the Council, and my reason for sending this letter today is to clarify for
you and City Council the sequence of events. Why parents wait for the last possible minute to
enroll their kindergarten students or to tell us of changes is somewhat frustrating, but it does not
just pertain to kindergarten students, it occurs at all grade levels We are possibly a whole lot
better off at the kindergarten level than at some of the other grade levels where we think we may
have lost some students The Board of Education is sensitive to the impact this has on the Girl
Scouts. We have upgraded the exterior of the Madsen House, and we are in the process of
upgrading the interior I do not think the large kindergarten enrollment can continue for more
than one or two years In fact, I would be surprised if we have this enrollment in 1996 -97;
although we may The birthrate in Los Angeles County dropped off somewhat five years ago As
soon as the School District no longer needs the use of the Madsen House and it is available at
other hours of the day, the Girl Scouts have first call. The facility will have been upgraded
dramatically Please know that the School District is installing heating and air conditioning,
lowering the ceiling, re- tiling, re- plumbing, installing water fountains, cleaning up the outside
area, and installing new and additional windows for ventilation
If additional information is needed for clarification, please do not hesitate to call me and request
it

The purpose of this letter is to inform you as the representative of Girl Scouts in El Segundo that
the Madsen House facility utilized by the Girl Scouts over the last decade or more is now being
considered as a facility to be used in providing before and after school daycare for parents of
kindergarten students in the El Segundo Unified School District.
As you are aware, the El Segundo Unified School District has been growing over the last four
school years and, in particular, the focus of this growth has been at the kindergarten level. There
were 217 kindergartners utilizing four classrooms at the Middle School on a shared -basis in 1994
95, four classrooms and eight kindergartens were projected for this school year. As of Friday,
September 1, 1995, we have exceeded last year's enrollment "on paper" by eight students, and
according to the Principal of Center Street Elementary School, additional new kindergartners are
registering each day. In addition, the District before and after school daycare, The Learning
Connection, has forty -three children enrolled and eleven kindergarten children on the waiting list
Utilization of the Madsen House will enable the School District to serve additional students on the
waiting list
It is 'ironic that in researching the history of the Madsen House, that I found that originally the
facility was utilized for daycare during the period of World War H. Apparently, subsequent to
that, there was a nursery school at that location The Girl Scouts have been the primary users of
the facility since the early 1970s. Therefore, I am sensitive to the impact that utilization of the
Madsen House by the School District will have on facilities for the Girl Scouts of El Segundo.
We have numerous school sites with classrooms, multi- purpose rooms, and cafeterias that the
School District can make available at no charge to the Girl Scouts, other than direct costs.

The School District began restoration of the Madsen House this summer and has yet to complete
that restoration project to staffs expectations. However, the restoration that took place was for
two purposes. 1) to rectify the unsightly condition of the Madsen House exterior and interior,
and 2) to prepare the site for use by the School District Utilizing the Madsen House for daycare
would mean that the School District would operate that facility from approximately 6.30 a.m to
6:30 p.m daily Equipment and materials for daycare would be housed at the facility and,would
negate any additional use of the facility during non - operational hours.
I very much appreciate your understanding in this matter and can also appreciate any concerns
you might have with regards to finding another suitable location for the Girl Scouts to meet in El
Segundo. Along those lines, it would seem to me that the Girl Scout facility, affectionately
known as Camp Eucalyptus and located on California Street immediately behind Center Street
Elementary School, is in what appears to be a deplorable condition I would think that the Girl
Scout organization in Los Angeles (Long Beach or wherever its headquarters are located) would
give some consideration to improving the site and allowing Girl Scouts in El Segundo and even
other surrounding communities to use that facility I suggest that you consider contacting the
person in charge of the Los Angeles Girl Scouts with this proposal.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have no control over the birthrate, relocation of families
to El Segundo, and the increase in enrollment that follows. Please be assured that although the
School District allows students from other residence areas and other school districts to attend
school here, we have very few, if -.L students on perinit at the kindergarten level

RE: PUBLIC NOTICE - Proposed Parking Stall. /Shuttle
Business License
We have cooperated with the E1 Segundo City Council for the oast
18 years and will continue to do so. We feel the proposed $10.00
tax per - parking stall per -year is excessive. However, we are
willing to pay a lesser tax that would not put an undo hardship
on our small business.
In the course of our every day expenditures, we give our business
to the local El Segundo merchants. For example: shuttle and
customer repairs /maintenance; contractors for premisis upkeep/
improvements; operating supplies; hotels and restaurants; etc.
This adds up to a very substantial amount during the year which,
ultimately, benefits the City through increased individual business
revenues and tax pro--rations.
We are in the process of trying to expand our business during a
time the much larger parking /shuttle services are slashing their
prices in a fierce effort to compete with each other. Our small
company is forced to follow suit to keep our current customers
and procure new ones.
We have reviewed our current business structure, and we feel we
could accept a tax of between $4.00 and $5.00 per stall. We
could then continue our plans without taking severe cost cutting
measures an the areas of adding employees, making capital improve-
ments, procuring additional transportation equipment, exercising
our lease option for more parking stalls, etc. We MUST be able to
be service and price orientated to effectively compete and continue
this business.
Thank you for your consideration of our position In this matter.

2) Madsen House will be made available for use by the Girl Scouts after 6.30 p.m., Monday
through Friday and on weekends, provided that the Girl Scout troops submit a "Use of
Facilities" form for the period requested
3) The District will provide the Girl Scouts with storage areas in the Madsen House to house all
of the Girl Scout equipment A topographical map of the interior of the Madsen House will
be provided, storage equipment areas for the Girl Scouts and storage areas for the School
District and any joint storage areas will be identified
4) The School District will agree to Girl Scout usage of the Middle School cafeteria and a
portion of the storage area immediately adjacent to the Middle School cafeteria for after -
school meetings A "Use of Facilities" form will be submitted by the troops indicating the
time period and the duration of the use.
5) The School District will provide for space for locked storage cabinets in the Middle School
cafeteria storage area for storage of Girl Scout troop supplies The District will also provide
for transfer of those supplies for Girl Scout afternoon meetings from the Madsen House to the
cabinet area at the Middle School, if desired

at other hours of the day, the Girl Scouts are allowed "first call" on entering into an
agreement to utilize the property
In looking at additional space that could be utilized for Girl Scout meeting places, two other areas
have come to mind — 1) the High School teachers' lunchroom adjacent to the student cafeteria
area, which is easily accessible by foot traffic and has convenient parking available, 2) the Arena
High School gymnasium area (adjacent to the Board of Education meeting room), which is also
easily accessible by foot traffic, and also has convenient nearby parking available Both of these
areas are unused in the late afternoon and evening hours and could be made available to Girl
Scouts for meeting purposes
If you have any further questions or would like additional clarification, please feel free to call
either Joann or meat 615 -2650 The School District is looking forward to working cooperatively
with the Girl Scouts for the benefit of all the children of El Segundo.

The hours will be 5 -11 P.M. on Friday, Noon to 11 P.M. on
Saturday, and Noon to 9 P.M. on Sunday. This year, we will
be having Dwayn DeBow Apollo Amusements. He has worked with

waived by action of the City Council. I am again this year
asking the City Council to do so again for us at it's next
