RESPONSIBILITY
Life is full of choices. Being responsible means being in charge of our choices and, thus, our
lives. It means being accountable for what we do and who we are. It also means recognizing that
what we do, and what we don't do, matters and we are morally on the hook for the conse-
quences.
Responsibility makes demands on us. It imposes duties to do what we can, not because we are
being paid or because we will suffer if we don't, but simply because it is our obligation to do so.
The essence of responsibility is continuous awareness that our capacity to reason and our freedom
to choose makes us morally autonomous and, therefore, answerable for how we use our auton-
omy and whether we honor or degrade the ethical principles that give life meaning and purpose.
Beyond having the responsibility to be trustworthy, respectful, fair and caring, ethical people
show responsibility by being accountable, pursuing excellence and exercising self - restraint. In
other words, they demonstrate the ability to respond to expectations of performance.

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
Date: April 9, 1997
To: Jim Morrison, City Manager
From: Harvey Holden, Airport Projects Administrator
Subject: Form Letter Received from Pacific Sands Homeowners
Eleven letters have been received from Pacific Sands Homeowners today. Pacific Sands is a
100 unit condominium structure located at 770 W. Imperial Avenue.
The Homeowners request that the City Council address the issue of Pacific Sands'
participation in the E1 Segundo Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Program. In response to
the Homeowners' request the issue has been agendized for the Public Communications portion
of the Council Meeting scheduled for 15 April.
There is insufficient time prior to the next City Council meeting, scheduled for 15 April, to
produce a complete Staff Report on this issue however the Staff Report for the City Council
meeting 18 February 1997, which was provided to aid Council in determining the disposition
of the $1,012,298 out -of -court settlement is provided here. In addition, the Action Minutes of
that Meeting are provided.
The signatories on the subject letters allege that, "I have been advised that you have decided
to not allow our complex to participate in the sound proofing project currently being
implemented with public funds...." It should be noted that the allegation is incorrect to the
extent that the offer to participate in Phase 5 was made to Pacific Sands Homeowners and
only one, Dr. Luther, elected to participate. Like other Phase 5 participants, Dr. Luther's 20%
cost for program participation will be paid, through Council's action of 18 February 1997,
with out -of -court settlement funds.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 18 February 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Disposition of the $1,012,298 out -of -court settlement from LAX.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Discussion (if desired); and,
2) Possible Action.
INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND:
On 30 June 1995, El Segundo filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against the City of Los Angeles, the Los
Angeles Department of Airports (DOA), the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners (BOAC), and others. As
noted in the Staff Report for this item at the City Council meeting of 4 February 1997, LAX and the City settled out -
of -court in El Segundo's favor, for $1,012,298.
DISCUSSION:
In outlining possible options for the disbursement of the out-of -court settlement for $1,012,298, several assumptions
have been made. Those assumptions are listed below:
1. The Council would want to reimburse monies "borrowed" from the City's General Fund for the cost
of preparation for participation in the LAX/FAA funded program, preparation that the FAA does not require and will
not fund. The attached RSI Program Cost Analysis has specific amounts and types of expenditures.
Approximately $50,454
2. The Council would want to reimburse the General Fund for the cost of transition from the LAX/FAA
funded program to the Homeowner /FAA funded program. 80% of this cost will be paid by the FAA. It is
recommended that the remaining 20% be paid through the settlement "windfall ". The attached RSI Program Cost
Analysis has specific amounts and types of expenditures. Approximately $34,089
3 The Council would also want to reimburse the General Fund for the legal fees resulting from the
LAX litigation. The attached RSI Program Cost Analysis has specific amounts and types of expenditures.
Approximately $130,000
4 The City Council desires the balance, approximately $797,755, of the settlement to support the
City's RSI Program. The attached Concepts for Settlement Disbursement and associated Computations for Various
Disbursement Concepts provide various strategies for the disbursement of the balance of the settlement. No other
assumptions have been made regarding disbursement of the settlement.
If any of the above assumptions prove incorrect, the "designated" monies could be added to the monies in Number
4 . above, the overall RSI Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the Council supports the assumptions in the Discussion section above, the General Fund would receive
approximately 5214,543 in reimbursements for out -of- pocket expenditures which are not reimbursable through any
other agency or means. The balance of the settlement, $797,755 will have no direct impact on the City's general
finances; however, depending on the Council's plan for disbursement, these funds could be effectively used to
motivate maximum participation in the program, thereby maximizing noise relief for many El Segundo residents.

RSI PROGRAM COST ANALYSIS
(February 1997)
The Settlement:
The City has received from the City of Los Angeles, on Friday, 7 February :
$1,012,298
1. LAX Specific Costs, Unrefundable through the FAA:
Preparation of the Airport Noise Mitigation (ANMP) and Grant Implementation Plans (GIP)
CottonBeland and Associates, map and table preparation: 28,852
Staff development of the ANMP and GIP: 14,125
Staff development of Zoning Code Amendment & changes: 5,250
Staff efforts to collect funds from LAX, make changes to DOA's
matching grant program, and Letter Agreement: 2,227
Sub - total: 50,454
- 50.454
2. Transition Costs, Expenditures not Related Directly to Phase 5:
961,844
Twenty percent of the cost of the transition from a partially LAX funded program
to a partially homeowner funded program was borne by the City. The remaining
80% will be paid for by FAA grant funds. Transition costs include those expenses
incurred by the City in attempting to acquire grant funds allocated by the BOAC
including legal fees, City's staff support (rewriting consultant contracts, planning new
program, evaluating community support of a new homeowner supported program,
acquiring Council approval, planning and marketing the program), operation
and maintenance of the Demonstration House. The transition period extends from
October 1994, the submission date of the final draft of the ANMP and GIP, to
May 1996, when the Council approved a new, modified contract with Wyle
Laboratories which described the new RSI program.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SETTLEMENT DISBURSEMENT
(February 1997)
FAA Basis for Participation in the RSI Program:
The FAA bases its decision on whether a home is in the LAX Airport Noise Impact Area, and therefore
eligible for receipt of sound insulation grant support, on the Noise Report submitted with LAX's
application for participation in the Part 150 program. The Report used with LAX's application was the
4th Quarter Noise Monitoring Report for 1989. According to that Noise Report there were
approximately 10,177 single family (SFD)and 16,242 multi - family dwelling (MFD) units included in El
Segundo's portion of the LAX noise impact area, a total of 26,419 dwelling units. Subsequent surveys
have refined the numbers and types of dwelling units impacted in El Segundo, however, it is this data
from the 4th Otr Noise Monitoring Report for 1989 that the FAA continues to use. Our own latest noise
contour data, 4th Qtr Noise Monitoring Report for 1994, states that there 1,533 SFDs and 1,759 MFDs, a
total of 3,292, not 26,419, dwellings in the LAX airport noise impact area
In order to select a settlement distribution plan that has stronger roots in reality, the options provided
below will use our own "current" numbers for impacted dwellings, not those used by the FAA.
For reference, the estimated cost of participation varies for program participants from a low of $1,320
for a NIFD in the 65dB CNEL contour, to a high of $8,960 for a SFD in the 75dB CNEL contour. If
every home were treated it is estimated that the average cost of participation would be approximately
S2.750 The following pages provide some disbursement options:
Option 1: Every Impacted Owner Receives Equal Amount
Provide every dwelling unit owner in the current LAX impact area an equal amount from the
settlement. approximately $242.33 each.
Pro Equitable in terms of one person -one amount. 100% of eligible receive grant.
Con Little relief and small incentive to participate
Option 2: Adjusted for 40% Cost Differential Between Single & Multi Dwelling
Provide every dwelling unit owner an amount of the settlement but differentiate between Single
Family Dwellings (SFDs) and Multi - Family Dwellings (MFDs) because the cost of insulating an MFD is typically only
about 40% of the cost of retrofitting a SFD This approach would provide $357 for each SFD unit and $143 for
each MFD unit.
Pro: More equitable, in that difference in typical cost to insulate SFDs and MFDs is considered.
100% of eligible receive grant.
Con: Little relief and relatively small incentive to participate
Option 3: Adjust for Differences in Homeowner Costs Based on Home's Location in
Impact Area
Consider the different fiscal impact each zone of the noise impact area has on homeowners.
70 SFD units in the 75dB zone each get — $536 (of est. $8,960)
630 SFD units in the 70dB zone each get — $445 (of est. $7,460)
547 MFD units in the 75dB zone each get — $220 (of est. $3,670)
833 SFD units in the 65dB zone each get — $245 (of est. $3,205)
673 MFD units in the 70dB zone each get — $166 (of est. $2,760)
549 MFD units in the 65dB zone each get — $ 80 (of est. $1,320)
laxsscom p04
Pro: Most equitable, in that difference in typical cost to insulate SFDs and MFDs is considered,
and typical differences in cost due to a home's location in different noise contours are considered. 100% of eligible
receive grant.
Con: Little substantial relief and relatively small incentive to participate
Option 4: Incentive Program A; Equitable Distribution
While equitable, the programs described in Concept 1 through 3 provide little relief to the Program
participant and do next to nothing to motivate participation in the Program. An alternative approach is to accept the
fact that the $1 million settlement is only about 1145th of the potential cost of this program. Rather than trying to
reach everyone with what may be perceived as a "token" payment, offer a sum that will provide more substantive
relief. The program below is relatively equitable, providing treatment for 130 of the various types of homes in each
of the three impact areas. The program also takes into account the 40% differential between SFDs and MFDs and
the differential between impact area contours.
780 homeowners can be assisted in paying their 20% share in accordance with the following matrix:
Type
Home 75dB
SFD 130 homes at $2,000
S 8,960 Est. HO Contrib.

Pro Provides significant and equitable relief to participants in all noise contours, and a
substantial Incentive to potential future participants. It is equitable within the limits of the settlement. Concept is
flexible and provides grant funds on a most -to -least impacted basis, and on a first- come -first -served basis. Little
additional administrative burden. Significant relief is provided to the largest number of participants, 780.
Con: Not everyone will benefit due to the limitations of the settlement — 24% of all eligible.
Option 5: Incentive Program B; Equitable Among Most Impacted, 75dB, Only
Given the amount of the out -of -court settlement and the FAA edict to insulate the most impacted
homes first, it would be reasonable to consider funding only those homes in the 75dB noise contour. There are 617
homes in this impact area in the 4th Qtr 1994 LAX Noise Monitoring Report. If we include the cost differential
between single and multi- family units the following plan emerges:
All 70 SFD, 75dB CNEL unit owners would receive $2,714 each (of est. $8,960)
All 547 MFD, 75dB CNEL unit owners would receive $1,113 each (of est. $7,460)
Pro: Provides significant relief for the most impacted — nearly 19% of all eligible
Con: Excludes 81% of eligible participants

Option 6: Reimbursement Program for Existing Program Participants
This Concept would pay 100% of the costs of the current participants in Phase 5. If executed this
concept would leave a reserve of approximately $269,115 for follow -on program phase(s).
Current Phase 5 Participants
26 75dB SFD homeowners would receive $8,960
12 75dB MFD homeowners would receive $3,670
30 70dB SFD homeowners would receive $7,460
08 65 db SFD homeonwers would receive $3,205
Pro: Provides 100% relief for approximately 100 homeowners
Con: Grant would conform primarily to the concept of first- come -first -served rather than the
concept of most -to -least impacted. Would only assist about 100 homeowners — 3% of all eligible.
Option 7: Base Grant on Financial Need of Homeowner
This Concept would provide that the grants be administered as are the Community Development Block Grants. A
maximum grant of $2,750 could be provided to any participant who qualified on the basis of financial need. A scale
relating the number of family members to cumulative adjusted gross income (as provided on IRS 1040) could be
developed by staff. Rule of providing assistance from most to least impacted will continue. Grants would be
provided from program phase to phase until funds were exhausted. Approximately 290 homeowners could be
assisted under this concept.
Pro: Provides significant relief to those with least funds.
Con: Significant increase in administrative burden. Some who qualify may not be able to
participate due to limits of the settlement.

COMPUTATIONS FOR VARIOUS DISBURSEMENT CONCEPTS
(February 1997)
Option 1: Every Impacted Owner Receives Equal Amount
797,755 divided by 3,292 (fm LAX 4th Qtr 1997 Noise Monitoring Report = approximately $242.33
each.
Option 2: Adjusted for 40% Cost Differential Between Single & Multi Dwelling
This approach would provide $357 for each SFD unit and $143 for each MFD unit.
1,533 SFDs 40% of 1,759 = 704 MFDs 797,755 divided by 2,237 = $357 ea for SFDs
1,759 MFDs +1.533 SFDs x 40%
3,292 Total Dwellings 2,237 Total $143 ea for MFDs
1,533 SFDs 1 ,759

547,281 + 251,537 = 798,818 (cost of this plan) - 797,755 ($$ available) _ $1,063 (Reserve)
Pro: More equitable, in that difference in typical cost to insulate SFDs and MFDs is considered
Con: Little relief and no incentive to participate
Option 3: Adjust for Differences in Homeowner Costs Based on Home's Location in
Impact Area
Consider the different fiscal impact each zone of the noise impact area has on homeowners.
It costs SFD owners in the 75+ dB impact area an estimated $8,960,
It costs SFD owners in the 70- 75dB impact area an estimated $7,460
It costs MFD owners in the 75+ dB impact area an estimated 3,670 per unit
It costs SFD owners in the 65- 70dB impact area an estimated $3,205
It costs MFD owners in the 70- 75dB impact area an estimated 2,760 per unit
It costs MFD owners in the 65- 70dB impact area an estimated 1,320 per unit

Re: Urgency Ordinance No. 1269 - Report Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d)
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858(d) I am submitting this report to your
office with respect to measures which have been undertaken by the City to alleviate the conditions which
led to the adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 1269. This report should be provided to the public upon
request and will be made a part of the Council Agenda for the April 15, 1997 Council Meeting.
Urgency Ordinance No. 1269 was prompted by a potential ambiguity in the El Segundo
Municipal Code with respect to which zones within the City permitted Massage Establishments. Since
the adoption of Ordinance No. 1269 the City has initiated Zone Text Amendment No. 97 -1 which
provides that Massage Establishments will be permitted in a proposed new zone - the Mixed -Use South
Zone. The Planning Commission has reviewed and recommended City Council Approval of this
Amendment. It is expected that this Amendment will be reviewed by the Council at its April 15, 1997
Council Meeting.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 15, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Public Hearing on an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of El Segundo, California, amending Section
2.28.030, Title 2, of the El Segundo Municipal Code to reflect the deletion of certain exclusions from the personnel
merit system.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Staff Report
2. Conduct Public Hearing
3. Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance.
4. Schedule Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance on May 6, 1997.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
In 1988, the City Council amended El Segundo Municipal Code Section 2.28.030 to provide that the
following positions would be excluded from the Personnel Merit System: administrative secretary and legal
assistant. Then, in 1992, the City Council amended the same section to provide that the position of executive
assistant would be outside of the Personnel Merit System.
The Human Resources Department has received various requests from individuals occupying these
positions for clarification with respect to whether they are covered by the Personnel Merit System. The requests
came from employees who were, prior to the amendment of the section, in the Personnel Merit System.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, of the eight employees occupying these positions, seven were previously in the personnel merit
system. In light of the above, and because of the nature of the positions, the City Manager is recommending that
these positions be removed from the list of excluded positions contained in Section 2.28.030.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO,
CALIFORNIA OPPOSING CERTAIN PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE
LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ( "LAX ") OPERATIONS AND
FACILITIES, DEFINING THE COMMUNITY'S ISSUES WITH THE CURRENT
OPERATION OF LAX, AND THE SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACTS THE
EXPANSION OF LAX WILL HAVE ON THE COMMUNITY
WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles Department of Airports is developing
a Master Plan for LAX for the development and operation of the airport through the year
2015; and
WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles Department of Airports has held a
community forum in El Segundo to propose four alternative plans for the future
expansion of operations at LAX; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has received communication regarding the
four plans from community organizations and residents which include El Segundo
Residents Association (ESRA), the El Segundo Aviation Safety & Noise Abatement
Committee (ASNAC), the El Segundo Taxpayers Association (ESTA), and numerous
individual citizens and business; and
WHEREAS, the opposition to the proposed plan to expand the operations
of LAX is based on the significant negative impacts an expansion would create on the
residents and businesses within El Segundo. The negative impacts include:
1. Currently, LAX averages 2,000 take -offs and landings per day resulting in
approximately 400 -500 early turns over El Segundo. Expansion plans
would increase take -offs and landings to approximately 3,000 per day and
would likely result in a percentage increase to more than 600 early turns
over El Segundo per month.
2. The LAX expansion plan calls for moving the southern runway on the
southern portion of the airport 200 feet closer to El Segundo. This
movement will likely lead to increased early turns, noise and air pollution
in El Segundo.
3. The LAX expansion plan calls for extending the Century Freeway down
Imperial Highway to Pershing Boulevard. This extension will significantly
increase the volume of traffic on Imperial Highway, making it difficult for
over 50% of El Segundo residents to ingress and egress out of the City.
Furthermore, the extension of the freeway and traffic utilizing the Imperial
Highway corridor will likely lead to greater noise and pollution.
0 039
4. The LAX expansion plan will likely increase the daily trips on freeways
and roads in and around El Segundo.
5. Based upon studies conducted by the Air Quality Management District,
the expansion of the airport will likely increase the volume of pollutants
released into the air in the Los Angeles basin.
6. The LAX expansion plan will likely lead to greater problems associated
with noise from take -offs, maintenance, and vehicle and commercial
traffic; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of El Segundo City
Council objects to and opposes the LAX expansion plan because it will jeopardize the
safety, health and quality of life of all residents and businesses in El Segundo and by
the adoption of this Resolution responds to the City of Los Angeles, Department of
Airports' overtures for the opinions of El Segundo officials regarding the proposed
expansion of LAX.
The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution;
shall enter the same in the book of original Resolution of said City; and shall make a
minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the
City Council of said City, in the minutes of the meeting at which the same is passed and
adopted.

DEVELOPMENT FOR PROJECTED YEAR 2015 GROWTH
WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles Department of Airports is developing a
Master Plan for LAX for the development and operation of the airport through the year
2015; and
WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles Department of Airports has held a
community forum in El Segundo to propose four alternative plans for the future expansion

four plans from the El Segundo Aviation Safety & Noise Abatement Committee, the City
advisory committee on airport issues, community organizations which include El Segundo
Residents Association, and the El Segundo Taxpayers Association, and numerous
individual citizens and businesses; and
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes any plan to almost double passenger
volumes and triple cargo volumes at LAX by the year 2015; and
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes the construction of any new
runway(s) or new taxiway(s) which will be closer to El Segundo than the existing South
Runway Complex configuration, including any plan to relocate any existing South
Complex runway(s) or taxiway(s) closer to El Segundo; and
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes the South Complex having more
passenger gates than the North Complex and the resultant increase in noise and airfield
operations on the City of El Segundo; and
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes the disproportionate development of
cargo facilities at the South Complex and resultant increase in noise and airfield
operations on the City of El Segundo; and
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes the four (4) LAX Expansion Concepts
as there are no design concepts to show the impact vehicular traffic will have on local
roads built before LAX became a regularly scheduled jet aircraft airport, and how
designwise, this choking effect will be handled; and
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes the four (4) LAX Expansion Concepts
as they do not mention the effect their concepts for massive aircraft and vehicular
volumes will have on the air quality /air pollution on the City of El Segundo and
surrounding jurisdictions; and
0 v41
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes future growth of LAX as it has been
proven that LAX does not enforce its published rules and regulations; such as: enforcing
the preferential runway regulation -- inboard runway for takeoffs for noise abatement
purposes, a 50 -50 usage split between the north and south runway complexes,
enforcement of noise generated during maintenance checks -- restricted levels of power
during specified hours, operating over - ocean - operations without an EIR and in violation
of Board of Airport Commissioners Resolution #8372 which specifies the use of inboard
runways only during nighttime operations, and has breached contracts it has entered into
with the City of El Segundo causing the City of El Segundo to litigate in order to obtain
what is contractually its due; and
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes the condemnation of non -City of Los
Angeles properties for City of Los Angeles purposes -- airport expansion; and
WHEREAS, the City Council opposes the LAX four (4) Master Plan
Expansion Concepts as they fall short in incorporating other Department of Airports'
properties -- Palmdale and Ontario Airports -- and other regional airports in meeting the
five (5) county regional needs that LAX currently serves and is promoting to serve for
year 2015 growth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of El Segundo City
Council objects to and opposes the four (4) presented LAX Master Plan Expansion
Concepts as it will jeopardize the safety, health and quality of life of all residents and
businesses in the City of El Segundo as well as negatively impact property values at the
expense of the City of El Segundo for the purposes of the City of Los Angeles
Department of Airports promoting of air commerce in a five (5) county region, and by the
adoption of this Resolution responds to the City of Los Angeles, Department of Airports'
overtures for the opinions of the City of El Segundo regarding the proposed expansion of
LAX for year 2015 growth.

DISCUSSION:
On March 28, 1997 the City Clerk received the following proposals:
1. Dominguez Water Corporation
Lease of Water System
2. California Water Service Company
Lease of Water System, Lease of Reclaimed Water Services and
Meter Reading Utility Billing
3. Golden State Water Company
Lease of Water System
(Southern California Water Company)
Additionally, the West Basin Municipal Water District submitted the attached letter indicating its desire to
continue discussions with the City to develop a Service Duplication Agreement with the City for reclaimed
water services.
The Southern California Edison Company submitted the attached letter indicating that it has decided not
to submit a proposal at this time.
The five (5) major aspects to be addressed in the requested proposals were:
1) Maintain City water rates as low as practicable while continuing high quality service;
2) Continue current City tiered rate structure where small users pay less and large users pay more;
3) Continue City's Capital Improvement Program by replacing out dated water mains;
4) Provide employment opportunities to existing water employees at a rate
consistent with existing salaries and benefits; and
5) Indemnification to the City from any claims related to the lease.
Lease of Water System
All of the three (3) proposals for Lease of Water System addressed all of the five (5) major elements
indicated above to varying degrees. Staff held two (2) meetings the first on March 17, 1997 with
prospective proposers and on April 7, 1997 with the three (3) proposers to help clarify the City's request
and desires. On April 9, 1997, Dominguez Water Corporation notified the City of their withdrawal from
consideration. Indicated below are the two (2) remaining proposer's responses to the City's five (5) aspects:

PW- APR15.01 (4/10/97 10:00 am)
DISCUSSION: (continued)
After previewing the ability of proposing companies to perform the actual operation and maintenance of the
water system, it was determined that both met the qualifications called out for in the Request for Proposal
(RFP).
The issue then becomes, do either of the companies provide for the service and cost needs of the
community better than the existing City water operations.
Reclaimed Water Services
The City received two (2) proposals in response to the RFP for Reclaimed Water Services. The first was
from California Water Services Company (they also submitted a proposal to lease the combined potable
and reclaimed system as discussed above) and it was determined to be qualified to operate the reclaimed
water system. The second was a proposal from West Basin Municipal Water District proposing a Service
Duplication Agreement. This agreement would allow West Basin to sell reclaimed water in El Segundo.
Since West Basin already produces the reclaimed water and delivers it (through their separate piping
system) to the customer's site, we are meeting with West Basin to explore a lease /service contract for
reclaimed water delivery.
The terms of the two (2) Reclaimed Water Services proposals as follows:
California Water Services Company $427,000 per year plus 37.17% of gross
revenues in excess of 300 acre feet per month '
West Basin Municipal Water Details to be worked out
If volume falls below required minimum payment to City is reduced.
Revised City Olaerating Proposal
Included in the information presented to the City Council on February 18, 1997, were two (2) plans for how
the City proposed to operate the Water Utility under the requirements of Proposition 218. Since then, staff
has revisited the operating budget to find potential savings and refined estimates concerning projected
revenues. We paid particular attention to the General Administrative Charges the Water Fund reimburses
the General Fund. After reviewing all of the charges with the participating departments, it was determined
that the administrative charge could be reduced from $718,000 to $440,433 per year. The result of the
adjustments is a decrease in the previously stated increases of:

Revised City Operating Proposal (continued)
In addition to the above rate changes, Proposition 218 potentially requires that the City change it's water
rate policies in the following areas:
1. Eliminate subsidy provided by water customers to other agencies;
2. Eliminate subsidy provided by water customers to pay for water consumed by City; and
3. Eliminate subsidy provided by water customers for Lifeline Service discounts.
Should the City desire to continue any of the above programs /policies we may do so, however funding
would have to come from other than water revenues.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Indicated below is a table showing a budget summary and indicating the effect of the two (2) private agency
proposals and the Staffs recommended proposal on various customers and City funds:

A review of the budget information above shows that there is virtually no difference in the costs proposed
for operating the water system. The greatest disparity among the proposed rates are the City rates. This
disparity is the result of the flat rate structure required by the portion of Proposition 218 which requires the
same cost for providing equivalent services.
Page 4of5
PW- APR15.01 (4/10/97 10:00 am)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: (continued)
After having discussed with both the proposing agencies the possibility of bringing an outside agency to
perform all of the tasks identified in the RFP at a rate lower than can be charged by the City, while
maintaining high quality service and without incurring additional liability, staff feels it is in the City's best
interest to continue the water operations with in -house staff. Both of the proposers are quality water
agencies and are capable of providing good service to the community, but when taking into account all of
the factors as a whole, neither of the agencies proposed a plan which was substantially better to warrant
changing the present operation.
All of the parties involved (the City and all of the proposing agencies) acknowledge that the full impact of
Proposition 218 is unknown and untested. It is the City's desire to comply with 218 and minimize rates to
our customers as much as possible. Staff believes it would take at least an additional sixty (60) days to
continue negotiations to determine whether the proposers would accept potential Proposition 218 risks and
to further analyze and negotiate personnel issues. Accordingly, it would probably not be possible to resolve
this issue by July 1, 1997, the date when it appears the City's water fees need to comply with Proposition
218.
The proposed staff plan is intended to comply with Proposition 218. Staff does not feel that an outside
agency can easily come into town and provide the same high quality and individualized service the
community has come to expect. Among the present City water staff are four (4) employees which live in
El Segundo and collectively all the staff members represent 128 years of experience working the City's
water system. This degree of local knowledge is not easily replaced. Having an average of eleven (11)
plus years experience /familiarity with the El Segundo system enables our staff to quickly resolve residents
problems /concerns. Having staff located in El Segundo means we can respond quickly to emergency calls
for service. Also, having equipment located in town allows for quicker resolution of unforeseen problems.
Staffs proposal is to continue to work with either California Water Service Company or West Basin to
obtain the best agreement for reclaimed water. This money would go back into the Water Fund to maintain
the system. As a result, the City anticipates having to adopt a new water rate structure where all potable
water is sold at a flat rate of $1.4110 per unit and reclaimed water will continue to be sold at the existing
rate. Attached is a Long Range Fund Forecast showing the impact of the proposed rate structure.
Staff will also continue to work with California Water Services Company, Edison and the Gas Company to
determine whether outside meter reading and billing is feasible. If an agreement can be reached staff
would bring the item to Council at a later date.
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the proposed rate restructuring and direct staff to perform
the necessary notification of property owners as required by Proposition 218 and schedule a public hearing
for June 17, 1997, to hear the responses to the post card notifications and consider final adoption of the
new water rate structure.

Mr. Ed Schroder
Director of Public Works
City of El Segundo

EL Segundo, CA 90245
Dear Mr. Schroder:
Thank you for providing California Water Service Water Company (Cal Water) with the
opportunity to meet with you to discuss the City of El Segundo's (the City) Request for
Proposal to provide water services. As follow up to our April 76` meeting, we have
recalculated the revenue required to perform the services listed in the City's RFP and the
City's new requirements. We believe that a partnership with Cal Water provides the
City with the highest overall value of financial benefits, innovative service offerings and
operational experience. We hope this information will persuade you and the City
Council to award Cal Water a contract offer.
Cal Water proposes to operate the City's water system under a five year lease. The
revenue requirement for the first year of the lease is $10,654,200• This revenue
represents a 7.4% increase over the last recorded year revenue of $9,917,013 (adjusted
downward by $200,000 for leased water revenue). This increase is based on the following
assumptions and the information presented in our March 27, 1996 proposal. Should any
of these assumptions change materially due to additional information or further review,
our financial proposal would have to be reviewed and possibly adjusted.
REVENUE
• An estimate of 3,600 acre feet of reclaimed water was based on the current trend for
FY 1996/97.
• An estimate of 14,600 acre feet of potable water was based on FY 1996/97 actual
water purchases and historic volumes. Year -to -date purchases are 85% of the 1995/96
fiscal year. We believe that the consumption of 15,000 acre feet used in the provided
staff report to be optimistic based on 1996/97 actual consumption
• The water mix, between potable and reclaimed, will remain constant throughout the
5 year term, or if not, the provider will be allowed to adjust rates to compensate for
any downturn in overall revenue due to changes in mix.
• Annual CPI add have been included, excluding the price of purchased water.
Purchased water will be passed through rates on a 1:1 basis.

• Leased water rights revenue has not been included due to current market fluctuations.
COSTS
• Cal Water will offer employment to the eleven City employees currently working in
the water system at their current level of salary and benefits for the contract term.
• $319,000 has been included to reimburse the City for contract management and
employee leasing costs.
$600,000 of capital improvements will be made annually.
• Additional maintenance items, as referenced in the RFP, will be performed by water
system employees including the:
• continuation of the valve exercise program.
• flushing of mains.
• replacement of the remaining galvanized services.
• replacement of the remaining iron fire hydrants.
• repair or replacement of 400 meters annually.
• replacement of 30 system valves annually.
A second option that should be considered in order to reduce the proposed rate increase
involves the capitalization of the improvement projects. Under CAAP, Cal Water must
amortize the capital or leasehold improvements we install under the contract over the life
of the lease. If the improvements were capitalized, they would be depreciated over the
useful life of the asset, rather than the lease term. This would result in a more gradual
rate increase since the asset life is considerably longer than the five year contract. A
further analysis of how Proposition 218 impacts capital improvement rate increases may
give the City a much more favorable rate structure. Should this approach be considered,
first year revenue of the contract could remain at the Fiscal Year 1995/96 level with
increases phased in for capital improvements at approximately $16,000 per $100,000 of
capital expenditures.
All of us at Cal Water are very excited at the prospect of partnering with the City of El
Segundo to operate its water system. We look forward to working with you on this
proposal in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, please feel free to call me at (800) 750-
8200 if 1 can answer any questions or provide you with additional information.

SECTION 2 _ PROPOSED COSTS
California Water Service Company proposes to operate the City of El Segundo water
and reclaimed water systems under a five year contract at the current rate structure with
a rate adjustment factor of 1.0, based on the following assumptions. Increases or
decreases for hard costs (defined as the wholesale cost of water, power, labor rate and
benefit increases and other hard costs) shall be passed through to the customers on a 1:1
basis. Additionally, the equivalent of $600,000 of capital improvements will be
installed annually.
Cal Water has reviewed the financial and system data provided by the City and has
based the proposal on the following assumptions. Should any of these assumptions
change materially due to additional information or further review, our financial proposal
would have to be reviewed and possibly adjusted.
REVENUE
Since projected revenue numbers for Fiscal Year 1996/97 or proposed FY 1997/98
revenue numbers were not provided by the City, we have made the following
assumptions regarding revenue:
• An estimate of 3,600 acre feet of reclaimed water was calculated based on the
current trend for FY 1996/97. Reclaimed revenue was estimated to be $1,290,000
based on the current rates.
An estimate of 14,200 acre feet of potable water was used based on FY 1996/97
actual water purchases. Year -to -date purchases are 85% of the 1995/96 fiscal year.
We believe that the consumption of 15,000 acre feet used in the provided staff
report to be optimistic based on 1996/97 actual consumption. Potable water revenue
was estimated to be $8,659,700 based on the limited information provided.
• The water mix, between potable and reclaimed, will remain constant throughout the
5 year term, or if not, the provider will be allowed to adjust rates to compensate for
any downturn in overall revenue due to changes in mix.
COSTS
• Cal Water will offer employment to the eleven City employees currently working in
the water system at their current level of salary and benefits for the entire contract
term. Of these eleven employees, at least five will be assigned to work on capital
projects as presented in the Quality Service Proposal.

\dW GOLDEN STATE WATER COXIPANY, L.L.C.
April 8, 1997
City of El Segundo
350 Main Street
El Segundo, CA 90245
Attention: Ms. Cindy Mortesen, City Clerk
Reference: Request for Proposal to Lease the Municipal Water System
Dear Ms. Mortesen
On April 7h , 1997 Golden State Water Company met with El Segundo to discuss the proposal that
Golden State had submitted to the City on March 28h, 1997. At that meeting the City asked that we
update our proposal for additional information supplied in that meeting.
Attached is Golden State Water Company's updated submittal in response to that request.
Several important aspects of Golden State's bid are as follows:
1. The proposed rate increase for our revised proposal is 9.5 percent. This assumes the higher cost of
leasing employees. This represents an average of less than 2% per year over the five year period.
2. Our original as well as our revised proposal included inflationary increases for labor. Therefore no
future rate increases will be required in order to pass - through labor increases.
3. Both our original and revised proposals included $744,000 to replace meters, valves and services.
4. Our proposals also include $600,000 per year of capital improvements.
5. Our revised proposal includes rental of the City's building at Lomita Street for $128,000. We have
included this cost at the City's request. Because of the close proximity to Southern California Water
Company Service offices, this rental is not absolutely required in order for us to operate the system.
We do wish however to provide excellent service to El Segundo's customers and therefore have
included the cost of this facility.
6. Both our original and revised proposals include providing access to Southern California Water
Company's 24 hour per day, seven day per week customer call center. All of El Segundo's
customer's needs can be handled at any time of the day or night from this call center.
7. Our proposals provide full access to all of Southern California Water Company's resources that lie
just adjacent to the El Segundo system. These resources include 175 employees who work in
Southern California Water Company's systems.
We would be pleased to answer any specific questions regarding the updated proposal at your earliest
convenience. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (909) 974 -1100, or Tom Bunosky at (714) 535 -7711,
ext. 200 with any questions.

Attention: Ms. Cindy Mortesen, City Clerk
Reference: Request For Proposals to Lease the Municipal Water System
Dear Ms. Mortesen,
Golden State Water Company (GSW) is pleased to respond to your Request For Proposal dated February
26, 1997, to lease the combined municipal water system for both potable and reclaimed water in El
Segundo. The clarification to the Request For Proposal to allow for a combined proposal was discussed
during the pre - proposal conference on March 17, 1997.
As discussed in the attached document, Golden State Water Company i;3 a venture between Southern
California Water Company (SCWC) and US Water L.L.C. Accordingly, the Golden State Water Company
will rely upon the strength and experience of its two partners to provide the City with the greatest possible
economic value, and highest quality of service delivery and overall operational management.
Southern California Water Company will provide operation, maintenance and management services
(OM &M), revenue collection, capital improvement and replacement program services on behalf of these
entities. This submittal is subject to negotiations of the terms of a definitive agreement and the approval
of such agreement by the Board of Directors of SCWC. Throughout the attached proposal Southern
California Water Company is referenced as the operating entity for the City of El Segundo's water system.
Golden State Water did not submit a separate proposal with respect to meter reading, utility bills, payment
processing, and delinquent collection efforts as called for in Addendum No. 1 to the Request For Proposal.
However Golden State Water would be very interested in entering into a contractual arrangement to
provide those services and would respond to a separate RFP regarding those services.
We would be pleased to answer specific questions regarding the Proposal, as well as, the Company at your
earliest convenience. Please do not hesitate to contact Joel A. Dickson at (909) 974 -1100, or Tom

Exhibit C of the Lease Agreement for:
The Lump Sum Price of $234341-00.
B. Water Rate Adjustment Factor. The existing City Water Rate Structure
was established by City of El Segundo Resolution No. 3922 dated June 6,
1995. It is the City's desire to maintain the existing rate structure, but
allow the lessee to collect the revenue required to operate, maintain, and

The Southern California Edison Company wishes to thank the City of El

RE: Request for Proposals for Lease of Water System
Dear Mr. Schroder:
Dominguez Services Corporation ( "Dominguez ") would like to thank the City of El
Segundo (the "City ") for the opportunity to have submitted a bid on leasing the City's
water operations. However, Dominguez withdraws its submitted bid as of 12:00 p.m.,
Wednesday, April 9, 1997.
Based on further consideration, Dominguez concludes that assumptions as stated in the
City's Request for Proposals dated February 26, 1997, are invalid. Therefore, Dominguez
doubts whether its bid will benefit the City and must respectfully withdraw its submission
from the bidding process.
Dominguez remains available to assist the City with its water operation requirements on a
contracting basis.
Sincerely,

meets twice a year. It is comprised of nine members who represent a cross - section of the community. Members
serve as volunteers, without compensation. The committee positions have no term expiration. The committee's

7. The Planning Commission (Planning Division) was established pursuant to the Planning Law of the
State of California (Sec. 65100 - 65106) on August 20, 1946 by City Ordinance #300. It is comprised of five
members, who serve, without term limitations, for four -year terms, with minimal compensation. A minimum five
member Commission is required and some cities have a seven or nine member Planning Commission, multiple
Commissions, administrative bodies or Hearing Officers, or the City Council may act as the Planning Agency, and
perform the duties instead of a separate Commission. If more than one Commission is created, the legislative
body (the City Council in this case), prescribes the issues, responsibilities or geographical jurisdiction assigned
to each committee. In the past the City of El Segundo had an Environmental Review Board which reviewed and
approved all the required CEQA analyses, separate from the Planning Commission. The Commission makes
recommendations to the City Council on the adoption or amendment of the City's General Plan; performs duties
with respect to land subdivision, planning and zoning as prescribed by City and State law; advises the City Council
on those matters falling within its charged responsibilities in a manner reflecting concern for the overall
development and environment of the City as a setting for human activities. The Commission meets the 2nd and
4th Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m., in Council Chambers at City Hall.
8. The Recreation & Parks Commission (Rec /Park Dept.) was established on March 23, 1938 by
Resolution #448. It is comprised of five members, who serve, without term limitations, for four -year terms, without
compensation. The Commission advises the City Council on all matters pertaining to recreation, parks, parkways
and street trees; and makes recommendations to the City Council regarding level of services; recommends
policies and assists in implementing Recreation and Parks Department improvements and programs, including
youth counseling, senior outreach, golf operations, city transportation, and in the acquisition and disposal of park
property. The Commission meets the third Wednesday of each month, at 7:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers at
City Hall.
9. The El Segundo Senior Housing Corporation Board: (Rec /Park Dept.) The El Segundo Senior
Housing Corporation is a non - profit corporation formed in 1984 for the construction of a low- income housing facility
for seniors (Park Vista). The Board of Directors was established in 1986 to actively oversee the management,
operation, maintenance, and the finances of PARK VISTA, the El Segundo senior citizen housing facility. The
Board enters into an operating agreement with the City Council, and enlists a management company to operate
the facility. The Board, comprised of seven directors, all volunteers who serve without compensation, are
appointed to four years terms, by the City Council. There are no term limits. The Board meets on the 4th
Wednesday of every month, at 7:00 P.M. at the Joslyn Center, 339 Sheldon Street, El Segundo. Refer to Board
Handbook, rev. November 1996.
10. The Wall of Honor Committee (Admin) was established by Resolution #3596 dated 6/6/89. The
positions are 4 -year terms, with no term limitations. This committee is comprised of 5 members, who are
volunteers and serve without compensation. The committee currently meets on the 2nd Wednesday in January,
May and September, at 7:00 p.m., in the West Conference Room at City Hall, to develop criteria and guidelines
and determine the eligibility for recognition, to seek and receive, and to provide the Council with nominations for
the Wall of Honor. The prestigious 5'X 6' marble -faced Wall of Honor, which stands in front of City Hall, was
dedicated on July 27, 1989 as a memorial to the late Challenger Astronaut Gregory Jarvis, Coach Urho Saari,
Christopher Barrett, Medal of Valor Recipient, and to other pioneers and leaders whose vision and mission have
distinguished them in their chosen arenas as heroes because they have made a significant contribution to the
community of mankind.
At its meeting on April 1, 1997, the City Council disbanded this committee, and transferred its
duties /responsibilities to the Recreation & Parks Commission, retaining its one member, E. Jane Conley, to
participate in decision with regard to the Wall of Honor until such time as her term expired.
UNOFFICIAL:
11. El Segundo Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Committee (ESASNAC): (Planning and Building
Safety Department). There is no requirement to have a committee such as the ESASNAC. Current by -laws do
not restrict the number of participants which generally fluxuates between 7 and 9 voting members. Turnover has
averaged one voting member per year for the past three years. Currently, ESASNAC is an 8- member committee,
which meets every 4th Tuesday of each month, at 7:00 p.m., in the West Conference Room at City Hall, to, (1)
study all airport issues which have a disturbing effect on El Segundo citizens; (2) devise ways and means to
reduce or eliminate these nuisances; and, (3) and advise the City Council on all airport matters. The ESASNAC
was loosely established in the mid to late 60's. Members serve as volunteers, without compensation. The
(l 07'1

12. Hyperion Citizens' Forum: (Planning and Building Safety) The Forum was not established by the City
Council and currently has no official link to the Council. However, the Council has been supportive of many of the
Forum's initiatives as those initiatives have been related to improvements to the quality of life for the residents at
large and specifically for the residents of the northwest sector of the City. The Forum was loosely established in
the Fall of 1987. Gerhardt Van Drie served as the Chairman until mid -1992, when Len Bonilla became the Chair.
The Chair is selected (roughly) annually by open vote of all citizens in attendance at the Forum meeting. During
the past three years, the number of El Segundo citizens attending the meetings has usually been 3 to 6. L.A. City
Staff attending the meetings averages 5 to 7. El Segundo City Council liaison and /or Staff and consultants
averages 3 to 6.
The three principal Forum "citizen" members (listed below) attend nearly all meetings with random attendance by
other residents. For the past 5 years the Forum has used the Matsui Room for meetings on a near monthly basis
until last year. It now meets on odd numbered months (January, March, etc.), having Informal meetings at City
Hall on even numbered months (February, April, etc.) with Council Liaison, City Staff and consultants. At present,
Mayor Pro Tern Wernick and Councilman Gordon serve as informal City Council Liaison with the Forum. Forum
proceedings follow a pattern established by past practice with decision - making usually accomplished by
consensus or open vote.
The City began sending representatives to some Forum meetings in early 1991 to remain abreast of the activities
joa:n: \ccb \backgrd.497
Rev. April 7, 1997
at Hyperion and the citizens' responses to those activities. Reduction of the dunes at the northeast corner of the
Plant in February 1992 brought more active interaction between the Forum and the City Council /Staff. For a while
the group was referred to as the El Segundo Citizens /Hyperion Committee. The Environmental Litigation
Settlement Agreement and Mitigation Monitoring Implementation Plan were executed in March 1992, establishing
conditions for construction at the Plant and a procedure for resolving disputes. Odor complaints have fallen
dramatically since 1992, when they averaged 59 per month, 52 /month in 1993, 49 /month in 1994, 14 /month in
1995, and 14 /month in 1996.
The Forum has no City Budget; however, it does benefit from City support in several ways:
1. MMIP Grant funding, $170,000 to $185,000 received per year from L.A. to mitigate Hyperion's
negative impacts on the City. Approximately $100,000 spent per annum, with fully 80% of the cost
related to response to inquiries /requests of three members of the Forum.
2. Landscaping MOU, a total of $210,000, a settlement to resolve the digester height and power
pole issues, to provide visual relief from the expanding plant for the residents of Dune Street.
Approximately $150,000 has been spent to date with possible commitment of additional $50,000
for Change Order No. 3, currently in planning.
In March 1995, City Staff was directed to reduce services being provided by the City's MMIP consultant -- RBF.
It was decided that City Staff would provide basic services while eliminating non - critical services. Expenditures
for responding principally to three Forum members dropped from an average of approximately $14,000 per month
to approximately $5,600 per month. Staff was directed in March 1996, to further reduce MMIP consultant costs.
Expenditures were driven to approximately $2,900 per month. However, service response issues resulted in the
Council directing Staff in October 1996 to bring RBF back in to City service at the same level of performance the
Forum had enjoyed two years earlier. Expenditures have since averaged $16,000 per month. One can
extrapolate that the cost of City Staff /Consultant Support for the Forum will be not less than $107,000 this year
($103,500 in LA grant and $3,500 in General Fund monies) unless Staff receives new instructions from the City
Council.
Additional costs of Forum support to the City of Los Angeles are generated by Hyperion staff costs to provide the
research, visual aids, machines, refreshments and staff for the Forum meetings. This additional cost is estimated
at not less than $10,000 per year.
Currently, there is little apparent work performed by the Forum members beyond attending monthly meetings and
such odd additional meetings as are necessary to coordinate resolution of member's issues. It is estimated that
the three active Forum members dedicate three to four hours per month to Hyperion issues.
Current Forum projects include the following:
1. Protesting the use of glass in the Digester Elevator Towers due to the possibility of glare being
generated upon completion of the glazing. (This protest has been successful in creating a change
order providing that the glass will be treated with a non - reflective coating after installation.)
2. Continued generation of action items for Hyperion staff including reporting on alternatives to planned
design and operation of facilities, notification of residents of upcoming operations that may impact the
community and the issue of contractor personnel parking on El Segundo streets.
3. Serving as a watchdog organization, providing odor, night -time light glare, and noise complaints.
4. Providing direction for the latest proposed planting in the landscape area.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Public Hearing and Appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the
construction of a 20 -inch nominal diameter, high density polyethylene, subsurface pipeline in the Open Space
(OS) zone; to transfer digester gas produced at the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works Hyperion
Wastewater Treatment Plant to the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Scattergood Steam
Generating Station, where it will be used to produce energy (EA -379, CUP 96 -2). HYPERION HAS WITHDRAWN
ITS CUP APPLICATION.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Direct Staff to proceed with refund of the appeal fees to the appellant.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On 15 October 1996, the City Council began its consideration of the Appeal of the Planning Commission approval
of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Environmental Assessment for the proposed construction of a twenty inch
nominal diameter, high density polyethylene, subsurface pipeline; portions of which would be located within the
Open Space (OS) Zone in the City of El Segundo. The proposed pipeline is designed to transfer excess "digester"
gas, produced at the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works' Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant
(Hyperion) to the adjacent City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Scattergood Steam Generating
Station (Scattergood), where it would be used to produce energy.
To allow time for the applicant to develop City required information and at the applicant's request, the hearing has
been continued several times.

Hyperion- Digester Gas Line CUP -- Appeal
City Council Staff Report
Date: 15 April 1997
BRIEF SUMMARY (continued):
The continued public hearing for the Appeal of the proposed project's CUP and Environmental Assessment was
next scheduled for 15 April. These extensions provided some additional time for intra -staff discussions regarding
the proposed project and previously identified concerns.
On 31 March, the Los Angeles proponents informed City Staff (for the first time) that they now intended to pursue
an alternative "lower" route for the proposed digester gas pipeline between the two facilities. Although they did not
provide background as to the reason(s) behind this project alteration, they did indicate that the new "lower" route,
which would probably follow the base of the eastern slope of the Hyperion property, would (now) be 'roughly equal
to or perhaps slightly less expensive to construct' than the "upper" route. The representatives from Los Angeles
offered little else in terms of reasoning for this change; but, it can be assumed that many of the requirements
(Conditions of Approval) El Segundo sought made it equal in cost and safer (pursuant to the findings of the "Off -
Site Consequence" Analysis) to construct farther away from our City's residents.
Upon receipt of this new and significant information, Staff informed the Hyperion proponents that our City would
need to evaluate this change and its affect(s) upon the long- continued project CUP public hearing. After internal
Staff review and discussion, including confirmation by the City Attorney, it was determined that this change in
course for the digester gas pipeline represented not a "mitigation measure" for the "upper" route (as suggested by
Los Angeles staff); but, rather a 'new' project (consistent with the State's and local CEQA Guidelines). The "lower"
route had not been applied for nor fully analyzed in the project's Environmental and CUP Assessments; although it
had been reviewed in the follow -up "Off -Site Consequence" Analysis.
As a result, the applicant -- the City of Los Angeles, was requested to: 1) withdraw its CUP application from
(further) consideration; and, 2) submit a new CUP application, with appropriate fees, support materials, and
Environmental Assessment for Staff review, new public noticing, and a public hearing before the Planning
Commission. (Being a 'new' project and application, they are requested to begin the process all over; and,
consistent with our City's procedures, this process starts at the Commission level.) Although this will somewhat
lengthen the public review process for this proposed pipeline project; the many concerns identified here to date,
together with the "negotiated" settlement to those issues -- such as the resolutions to the concern about the
Hyperion's reflective elevator glass, the landscaping at the facility's Pershing Avenue entrance, the project's
vibration generation, et cetera -- will be incorporated into the mitigation measures for the (new) project's
Environmental Assessment, and the Conditions of Approval for its CUP.
Pursuant to Council direction, Staff will process a refund of fees to the appellant -- the El Segundo Residents'
Association (ESRA).

On March 31, 1997, the City of Los Angeles offered to relocate its proposed digester
gas pipeline to a lower route that is farther from the City of El Segundo. This letter
acknowledges your phone call on April 4, 1997, notifying us that this relocation could
not be considered a mitigation of the original project. The City of Los Angeles was
requested to submit a new application for a CUP based on the new route. This
application is currently being prepared.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 15, 1996
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request City Council approval of a Cooperating Agencies Agreement between the City of El Segundo, Los
Angeles County, and other Certified Unified Program Agencies for assuming responsibility for environmental
regulatory programs. The fees currently collected by Los Angeles County and state agencies will be collected by
and for the City of El Segundo, thereby generating revenue for the City.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approval of the Los Angeles County Unified Program Agencies Cooperating Agencies Agreement to provide a
consistent and consolidated environmental inspection program, accept responsibility for conducting inspections
and regulation of hazardous materials and waste facilities, and authorize the Mayor to sign the Agreement.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
In 1993, Senate Bill 1082 was passed to assist businesses in complying with a variety of environmental
requirements. Local fire departments, once State certified, could assume responsibility for regulating certain
hazardous materials programs. Also, those departments would be classified as Certified Unified Program
Agencies (CUPAs). Affected businesses would then coordinate specific environmental requirements through one
local agency instead of three county and state agencies. The City's approval of the Cooperating Agencies
Agreement is required for the City to assume responsibility from the County to implement the entire CUPA
program.
The California Environmental Protection Agency (CaIEPA) has approved the City of El Segundo's application to
assume environmental inspection responsibilities as a CUPA. The City Council has already designated the City
Manager or his designee as the CUPA for the City of El Segundo on February 4, 1997 (Ordinance 1264) and
established a fee schedule for underground tanks upon State approval of the CUPA program.
DISCUSSION:
The attached Cooperating Agencies Agreement (CAA) is required to be entered into by each CUPA in Los
Angeles County. The State requires the CAA to ensure consistent application of State and Federal hazardous
materials requirements and will not certify the City without the Agreement approved by all parties.
On April 1, 1997, the Fire Department was notified by CaIEPA that their application had been approved and meets
the technical and programmatic requirements to become a CUPA. To complete the certification process, the City
of El Segundo must provide evidence, by April 30, 1997, that the City Council will adopt the attached Cooperating
Agencies Agreement with Los Angeles County.
The Fire Department recommends approval of the CAA as the means to provide a consistent and coordinated
environmental program county -wide.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1) Copy of the Los Angeles County Unified Program Agencies Cooperating Agencies Agreement for the
establishment of the City of El Segundo as a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA).
2) Copy of March 27, 1997 letter from CaIEPA authorizing the City to become a CUPA.

1. Approve expenditure of not more than $7,500 for additional planting in the Hyperion Landscape area
BACKGROUND: INTRODUCTION AND
At its meeting of 4 March 1997, the City Council received Mayor ProTem Wernick's review of the Hyperion
landscape issue. The issue of a third planting in the area was addressed, however Council's approval of a new
planting and authorization for expenditures were not made. The purpose of this agenda item is to request
Council's approval for Change Order 3 to LFLC's contract as well as approval for planning, purchasing of plants,
planting, irrigation and maintenance of a third planting. At present, there is a balance in excess of $50,000 in
grant funds from the City of Los Angeles available to the City to fund this Change Order.
Previous concerns regarding the potential for damage to the extensive planting in the area caused by trenching
and deep watering for the new plants have deminished as the amount of planting is not as extensive as
originally expected and little if any change to the existing irrigation system will be necessary.
There is a potential problem associated with execution of Change Order No. 3. The Hyperion on -site Mitigation
Monitor has expressed concern that the City of Los Angeles may reject turnover of the project because of the
high number of large plants that have been in the ground less than one year. Staff is working with both
Mitigation Monitors to resolve this issue prior to June 1997 when it is anticipated the contractor will request a
turnover of the project to this City.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1. Memo to Mitigation Monitor from John Andrew (RBF's Landscape Architect and planner of the
Landscaped Area) of 18 March 1997, providing Plan for Change Order No. 3 planting and estimated
cost.

T -458 P.02/04 F -590
JN 28537
Based on input from our meeting with the residents at the project site on February 22, 1997,
my recommendations for additional landscape screening are as follows:
1. Plant 150 - 5 gallon Myoporum laetum shrubs. The shrubs shall be planted at the top
of slope, paralleling the existing chain link fence. The shrubs shall be triangularly
spaced at eight feet on center.
2. Plant 25 -15 gallon Eucalyptus lehmanii trees. The trees shall be located in the field
by RBF's landscape architect. The height of the new Eucalyptus trees will be
approximately 8 to 12 feet depending on availability.
3. Prior to planting, the contractor shall provide the name and location of the nursery
supplying the trees and shrubs.
4. Prior to site delivery. RBF will inspect and approve the trees and shrubs at the nursery.
5. Prior to planting, RBF will inspect, approve, and place the trees and shrubs at the
project site.
6. Prior to installation, if possible, the residents shall review, modify, and approve the
location of the plant materials.

The estimated cost for providing and installing the plant materials would be approximately
$4,500. This does not include fees for professional services.
Pleaw note the following:
• In the beginning, the original landscape plan approved by the residents committee was
jived based on three main objectives: 1) provide a semi- transparent screen of the
. reserve horizon ocean views
Hyperion treatment plant (screen Hyperion views, p ); 2)
once established, the Landscaping should have the ability to survive on annual rainfall
only and 3) the Landscaping should require minimal maintenance. The new trees and
shrubs represent a change in this philosophy. The new plant materials will become a
dense landscape screen and will potentially block ocean views and, in times of extreme
drought might require irrigation water.
The trees and shrubs have exceptionally fast growth rates and will likely grow through
and over the top of many of the existing plant materials. Existing plant materials which
are covered by these new trees and shrubs will likely dic.
Short term maintenance_ These new trees and shrubs will need to be maintained
beyond the existing two year maintenance period (ending approximately June, 1997)
required under the original landscape installation and maintenance contract.
Long -term maintenance: After installation of these new trees and shrubs, the overall
density of plant materials (new plant materials plus existing plant materials) will
probably require annual trimming and thinning. The City of Los Angeles may object
to this additional planting, and maintenance requirement.
A couple of important quotes from Sunset Wastam Garden Boo
Regarding Eucalyptus lehmanii: "Fast growing, densely leafed tree, very good
for screening on coast, or street tree with lower branches pruned. Unpruned
branches persist to ground..."

Regarding Myoporum laetum shrubs: ,p_xwptionaUy fast growth to 30 ft., 20

Flowers in clusters of 2 -6 in summer, about iA in. wide, white with purple
rnarlangs. Small reddish purple fruit. Superb for seaside use - effectively blocks
sound, wind, sun, blown sand..."
• Estimating a time when the plants will provide some significant screening is very
subjective and depends on many variables beyond our control. However, it would be
very difficult to find plants that will grow faster than the two new species proposed for
this project.

Subject: Contractor Selection for Change Order No. 3, Hyperion Landscape Project
In response to your question regarding the hiring of Land Forms Landscape Construction
(LFLC) to carry out the planting Change Order No. 3 calls for, the following is offered:
Soliciting bids from new contractors will add 4 - 6 weeks to the time needed to
have LFLC get plants in the ground.
2. We know what to expect from LFLC and are prepared to deal more effectively
with their expected performance.
3. Hiring a new contractor to go in to the area and execute a new planting will
eliminate any legal hold we have on LFLC to turn over a healthy, numerically
correct, viable planted area as described in the landscape contract. LFLC will
claim any deficiencies in their product are the new contractor's fault.
4. If Change Order No. 3 is implemented with LFLC as the contractor, any
damage to plants or irrigation system due to new trenching will clearly be
accountable to LFLC. A new contractor will not have intimate knowledge of
the layout of the irrigation pipe.
5. Having a second contractor involved in this project will greatly complicate the
turnover to L.A. Any shortcomings may generate a finger pointing bout.
RBF has already been tasked to draft a letter to LFLC enumerating the shortcomings in that
contractor's performance to date and explaining that a turnover of the site in its present
condition is out of the question. Specific tasks in terms of maintenance planning and
execution will be assigned along with "teeth" in the event they fail to perform. LFLC will be
given one week to clean up the area.
It is recommended that the offer of Change Order No. 3 be made to LFLC depending upon
their response to our letter of dissatisfaction. If LFLC's remains unresponsive we should
begin appropriate legal action and look elsewhere for a contractor for Change Order No. 3.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 15 April 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent
AGENDA DOURRMON:
Authorization for the use of existing LA Hyperion Water Treatment Plant Mitigation Monitor Implementation Plan
(MMIP) grant funds is requested to pay for unanticipated services by the City's Mitigation Monitor, Robert Bein,
William Frost & Associates (RBF).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approve $40,000 increase in the amount budgeted for RBF's MMIP services.
TRTRUDUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
Based on an anticipated expenditure rate of approximately $5,000 a month, City Council approved a budget of
$60,000 for MMIP Contractual Services, including plant monitoring, consulting and engineering services for FY
1996/7. Complaints regarding the spartan services being provided at that expenditure rate dictated a return to
the level of services at or near the level established before budget cuts were initiated.
From our experiences seeking a middle ground" for funding the MMIP we have learned that about $8,000 per
month would provide acceptable Mitigation Monitoring service to the City as well as reasonable responsiveness
to members of the Hyperion Citizens Forum. Budget recommendations for FY 97/98 reflect this strategy.
To resolve the immediate issue, Staff recommends and City Council can approve an increase of $40,000 to the
previously budgeted $60,000 without drawing any funds from the General Fund. This will permit an expenditure
rate of approximately $2,500 per month for the remainder of the fiscal year. RBF provided minimal, but
satisfactory Mitigation Monitoring service for the City for the first three months of the fiscal year for
approximately $2,500 per month. Responsiveness, for the balance of the year, to the Hyperion Citizens Forum
members will be significantly reduced in order to remain within the $100,000 (L.A. grant funds only) budget.
Should the Council desire to support a higher expenditure rate than that proposed above, it may authorize up to
approximately $180,000 without exceeding the amount of MMIP funds approved by the MOU. However, any
authorization beyond the $40,000 recommended will necessitate a dollar- for - dollar match with monies from the
City's General Fund.

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
Date: April 8, 1997
To: Jim Morrison, City Manager
Info: Bret Bernard, AICP, Director of Planning and Building Safety
From: Harvey Holden, Special Projects Coordinator
Subject: Mitigation Monitor Funding
The Problem:
The budget for our Mitigation Monitoring efforts was established at $60,000 based on the
expectation of a cost for such services of $5,000 per month. Expenditures as of the RBF
invoice for February 1997 are $83,175.97.
In March 1995 the City Staff was directed to reduce services being provided by
the City's MMIP Consultant, RBF. It was decided that City Staff would
provide basic services while eliminating non - critical services. Expenditures for
responding principally to three Forum members dropped from an average of
approximately $14,000 per month to approximately $5,600 per month.
Based on an anticipated expenditure rate of approximately $5,000 a month, in
1996, the City Council approved a budget of $60,000 for MMIP Contractual
Services, including plant monitoring, engineering, and other consulting services
for Fiscal Year 1996/7. Staff was given additional direction in March 1996, to
further reduce MMIP Consultant costs. Expenditures and service levels were
driven down to approximately $2,900 per month. In October 1996, Forum
member issues with this reduced service level resulted in the RBF being tasked
to provide services at the same level of performance the Forum had previously
enjoyed.
The Solution Requiring no Use of General Funds:
This shortfall can be made up through available MMIP grant funds from Los Angeles. The
City receives approximately $140,000 per year from the City of Los Angeles to support the
MMIP. The MMIP agreement with Los Angeles states that while the first $100,000 spent in
support of the MMIP shall be drawn from LA's annual contribution any subsequent spending
must be an El Segundo/L.A., dollar- for - dollar match. The Council can approve an increase
of $40,000 to the $60,000 previously budgeted without drawing any funds from the
General Fund.
hyp -agn. m em
It is anticipated that RBF's invoice for services for March will be
approximately $10,000. The total spent to date will be approximately $93,000.
Three months remain in the fiscal year for which $7,000 must suffice unless
Council approves augmentation with General Fund monies. It is believed by
both Staff and the MMIP consultant that RBF can provide reduced but
satisfactory service for this amount for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The Solution Requiring Use of General Funds:
Should the Council desire to make funds available beyond the $100,000 L.A. grant
benchmark, in support of the MMIP effort, any sum beyond the $40,000 increase Staff
recommends will require a dollar- for - dollar match from the general fund.
At the current expenditure rate of approximately $15,000 per month one can
extrapolate that the cost of City Staff /Consultant Support for MMIP services
will be approximately $138,000, nearly the total MMIP funding available for
this year. Council's approval for an additional $78,000 would be sought to
complete the year at the current expenditure rate.

CALIFORNIA OPPOSING CERTAIN PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE
LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ( "LAX ") OPERATIONS AND
FACILITIES, DEFINING THE COMMUNITY'S ISSUES WITH THE CURRENT
OPERATION OF LAX, AND THE SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACTS THE
EXPANSION OF LAX WILL HAVE ON THE COMMUNITY
WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles Department of Airports is developing
a Master Plan for LAX for the development and operation of the airport through the year
2015; and
WHEREAS, the City of Los Angeles Department of Airports has held a
community forum in El Segundo to propose four alternative plans for the future
expansion of operations at LAX; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has received communication regarding the
four plans from community organizations and residents which include the El Segundo
Aviation Safety & Noise Abatement Committee (ASNAC), the El Segundo Residents
Association (ESRA), the El Segundo Taxpayers Association (ESTA), the El Segundo
Employees Association (ESEA), numerous individual citizens and businesses and the
South Bay Cities Coalition of Governments has adopted a resolution demanding LAX
mitigate current and future negative impacts resulting from the operation of LAX; and
WHEREAS, the negative impacts of LAX's current level of operation on
the El Segundo community are substantive and will only increase with further expansion
of LAX and operations at this airport; and
WHEREAS, the negative impacts on the El Segundo community include,
but are not limited to, aircraft operation safety issues, noise resulting from aircraft and
ground facility /vehicle operation issues, and air quality issues; and
WHEREAS, the specific concerns with each of these topics are,
As passenger and cargo volumes increase, the negative impact of
each of the subjects of concern will increase and have a
detrimental effect on El Segundo,
Any relocation of any LAX facilities closer to the City of El Segundo
will have a negative impact on each of the subjects of concern and
will have detrimental effect on El Segundo,
Concentrating passenger gates and cargo facilities /operations on
the south one -half (1/2) of the LAX facility will increase the negative
impacts of each of the concerns which will have a detrimental effect
on the El Segundo community,
• Any increased traffic flow to or from any LAX facility will further
overtax the current overcrowded highways /streets which will have a
detrimental impact on the El Segundo community,
Any increase in aircraft and ground transportation operations will
further degradate the air quality in the area of LAX and will have a
negative impact on the El Segundo community;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of El Segundo City
Council opposes the four (4) LAX Master Plan alternatives as none of the alternatives
will reduce the current degradational impact of LAX's operations on the City of El
Segundo and, in fact each will lead to increased safety, traffic, noise and air quality
issues and negative impacts on the El Segundo community; and
BE IT RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the City Council of the City of El
Segundo demands that the LAX Master Plan alternatives include a plan that will reduce
the impacts of LAX and its operation on the El Segundo community.
BE IT RESOLVED, FURTHER, by adopting this Resolution, the City of El
Segundo is responding to the City of Los Angeles, Department of Airports' overtures for
the opinions of El Segundo community to the current operations of LAX and the
proposed expansion of these operations.
The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution;
shall enter the same in the book of original Resolution of said City; and shall make a
minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the
City Council of said City, in the minutes of the meeting at which the same is passed and

Attention: Mr. Ed Schroder
Reference: Request for Proposal to Lease the Municipal Water System
Dear Mr. Schroder
On April 8h , 1997 Golden State Water Company submitted an updated bid to the City.
This bid is being modified as follows:
Golden State Water will operate the City of El Segundo's water system under a five year contract for a
rate increase of 4.2 %. The 4.2% increase assumes the last recorded year base revenues of $9,900,000
with a corresponding purchased water cost of $8,485,000. Should annual revenues with corresponding
purchased water costs be materially different than the assumption here, or if further analysis demonstrates
this level of existing base revenues with corresponding purchased water costs is incorrect, then our
proposal would have to be adjusted accordingly. All other terms and conditions specified in our original
and updated bids remain unaffected by this update.
We would be pleased to answer any specific questions regarding the updated proposal at your earliest
convenience. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (909) 974 -1100 with any questions.
