EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 2, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Orders of Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Continued public hearing on the following proposed (third quarter) amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Code,
and Local Coastal Program: 1) Mini - Variances, 2 -1) Detached Accessory Buildings and 2 -II) Accessory Buildings,
3) Residential Wall Heights, 4) Signs, 5) School Parking, 6) Coastal Development Permits, 7) TDB's - Transfer
of Development Rights, and 8) Amplified Sound Permits; and, a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts
in accordance with CEQA. Environmental Assessment EA -419, General Plan Amendment GPA 97 -3 and Zone Text
Amendment ZTA 97 -3, Third Quarter Amendments. Applicant: City of El Segundo - (Citywide Amendments) and
Hughes Electronics ( TDR's - Transfer of Development Rights);
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Open continued public hearing;
2) Discussion; and,
3) Schedule a special joint City Council /Planning Commission Public Hearing/Workshop for a future date; and/or,
4) Other possible action /direction.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On November 18, 1997, the City Council reviewed the proposed amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Code and
Local Coastal Program. At that meeting, the Council directed staff to schedule a special joint Planning
Commission/City Council public workshop /hearing. The workshop /hearing would also include a mobile workshop using
the City's shuttle bus to tour the City to view examples of the issues which have given rise to the proposed revisions
to the Zoning Code. Staff is in the process of determining the availability of the City Council members, Planning
Commissioners, relevant staff (including the City Manager and City Attorney), and the City vehicle in order to provide
the Council with a number of days to choose from when scheduling the workshop /hearing. Staff will, hopefully, present
a list of available dates prior to or at tonight's meeting under a separate cover.
On October 9,1997, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2402 which recommends approval of revisions
to the City's General Plan and Zoning Code. The Planning Commission Resolution was previously distributed to the
City Council. These amendments include new proposed provisions to allow Transfer of Development Rights, which
were held over from the first quarter amendments at the request of the applicant (Hughes Electronics). Additionally,
proposed revisions for School Parking, Signs, Amplified Sound Permits, Detached Accessory Buildings, and
Accessory Buildings, were all continued from the second quarter packet to this quarter's amendment packet and
Residential Wall Heights were continued from the first quarter to the second quarter and are now included in this
packet. Due to the large number of continued items, the complexity of some of the amendments, and the continuing
staff absences, it was necessary to continue several items originally intended for inclusion in the third quarter packet
until the fourth quarter amendment packet. These include proposed revisions to Non - Conformities,
Maximization/Livable Neighborhoods and Residential Curb Cuts and Driveway Widths.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
City Council directed staff to review what facilities within the city and school district buildings were available as
community meeting sites.
DISCUSSION:
A staff committee was formed to gather information on available community group meeting locations. A
questionnaire was developed and distributed to all city departments requesting the identification and particulars
regarding their meeting sites. The school district also participated, providing a list of their available facilities. Both
entities agreed a directory of meeting sites would be a valuable community resource.

distributed to community groups and organizations with additional copies available at city and school district
offices.

Inter - Departmental Correspondence
November 25, 1997
To: Honorable Mayor, City Council Members and City Manager
From: Tim Grimmond, Chief of Police
Subject: Parking in Residential Streets
This memorandum is pursuant to Councilwoman Friedkin's inquiry regarding
parking motor homes on City streets.
Generally no vehicle is allowed to park on a public street for longer than 72
hours. This is regulated by California Vehicle Code (CVC) 22651(k) and El
Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) 10.28.050. El Segundo Police Department
tows these violations per authority ESMC 10.80.090 which also covers City
owned lots.
Motor homes, trailers and camp type vehicles are limited to 48 hours (ESMC
10.28.150) and can be cited after 48 hours and /or towed after 72 hours. This is
currently enforced. California Vehicle Code section 22507 enables local
authorities to adopt regulations prohibiting parking vehicles that are six feet or
more in height within 100 feet of an intersection. To date, however, this
enforcement option has not been enacted.
Commercial vehicles having a gross vehicle weight rating over 11,000 pounds
are restricted to parking no more than five hours in a residential area and are
regulated by ESMC 10.32.070. These vehicles can be cited after five hours and
towed after 72 hours.
Our long- standing past practice has been that vehicles are marked only after we
receive a complaint. Also, a warning card is placed on the vehicle for the
appropriate violation (copy of cards attached). The vehicle is cited after the time
lapse and if not moved, towed following the 72 hours time expiration.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Recommendation for apparatus replacement and purchase.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Authorize staff to distribute specifications for bid for a sixty -five foot telesquirt.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
For several months now the Fire Department command staff and apparatus committee have been analyzing our
apparatus requirements in order to better serve the community. We have identified a need and found a solution
which will better serve our fire protection needs while saving the City a considerable amount of money.
Basically, we have identified a need for a second type of aerial platform for the west side of the City. We
specifically feel a sixty -five foot telesquirt will fill that need.
There are many areas on the west side of the city that are inaccessible to our aerial. Accessability is limited by
streets and alleys too narrow to allow set up and operation of a 105 -foot aerial. The aerial has "H" shaped jacks
which require considerable room for set up. The aerial is also a duel axle unit with a long wheel base which means
the unit is not very maneuverable in some of the residential areas. Also, from a fire suppression need, one
elevated point of attack is simply not enough to stop fire spread and effect extinguishment. The 300 block of Main
Street is one example where fast attack by two elevated streams would be necessary.
A telesquirt is merely a pumper with a sixty -five foot boom with a nozzle attached. It is a single axle unit with a
short turning radius and has "A" shaped jacks which require less room for set up than the traditional aerial. So a
telesquirt combines some excellent aerial abilities with the better maneuverability of a pumper.
DISCUSSION:
Engine 35 (reserve engine) is due for replacement during the 00/01 budget year and $325,600 has been
budgeted, to date, for the replacement.
Engine 31 is due for replacement during the 05/06 budget year and $272,850 has been budgeted, to date, for its
replacement.
By combining the funds for Engine 35 and Engine 31 we would have more than enough money to purchase the
telesquirt. Engine 35 would be sold. Engine 31 would go to reserve status, thereby increasing its life expectancy.
We estimate $420,000 would be needed for the telesquirt, leaving a balance of $178,450 to return to the general
fund.
Also, by utilizing the practice of moving front line apparatus to reserve status, we no longer would continue to
budget funds to purchase a reserve pumper.

AGENDA DESCRIPTION.
Award bid for asphalt roller to low bidder Shepherd Machinery Corporation in the amount of $30,903.21, and
for trailer to low bidder Cook Tractor Company in the amount of $6,079.05.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Authorize staff to issue a purchase order in the amount of $30,903.21 to Shepherd Machinery Corporation, and
a purchase order in the amount of $6,079.05 to Cook Tractor Company.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The Street Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all city owned streets and alleys. This is
accomplished, in part, by removing and replacing damaged or deteriorated asphalt. An asphalt roller is used
to achieve proper compaction when installing new asphalt. The Council authorized the purchase of the new
roller and trailer at its December 17, 1996 meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The Street Maintenance Division and the Equipment maintenance Division evaluated several types and sizes
of asphalt rollers. Upon completion of this evaluation, the Equipment Maintenance Division developed a
specification and bids were solicited. Three companies returned bids as follows:
Shepherd Machinery Corporation $30,903.21
Johnson Machinery Company $46,454.27
Hawthorne Machinery $44,190.89
Staff has reviewed all the bids and recommends accepting the low bid from Shepherd Machinery Corporation.

DISCUSSION (continued)
The proposed roller does not fit on our existing roller trailer. Staff has evaluated several types of trailers and
is recommending the purchase of a multipurpose trailer. This trailer would be used to transport the roller, the
forklift, and for sandbag delivery. Currently, when a forklift is needed in the field, it must be driven from the
Maintenance Facility to the job site. This is very time consuming, as the forklift top speed is only 5 mph. Also,
when large numbers of sandbags are delivered, they are loaded into the bed of a dump truck. This requires
staff to constantly climb in and out of the truck bed. The new multi - purpose trailer could be used for several
different operations, which would give staff greater flexibility in performing necessary operations. The following
bids for a trailer have been received:
Contractors Equipment Company $7,554.77
Cook Tractor Company $6,079.05
Equipment Supply Company $6,590.99
Nixon -Egli Equipment Company $6,614.08
So. Cal Ford New Holland, Inc. $6,338.04
Staff recommends accepting the low quote from Cook Tractor Company in the amount of $6,079.05.
The funds necessary to pay for the recommended roller and trailer are included in the adopted budget.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request from DIRECTV to allow an extension, until December 31, 1997, for a temporary banner (60'x 80'- 4,800 square
feet total), to thank their customers, as originally approved by the City Council on October 21, 1997. The banner is located
on the north side of their building at 2320 East Imperial Boulevard; and, has been in place since November 5th. Applicant:
DIRECTV. (Sign Plan 97 -19).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve DIRECTV's request for the extended hanging of a temporary banner.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On October 9, 1997, DIRECTV submitted a letter to the City (attached) requesting approval of an 80'x 80' (6,400 square
feet) temporary sign. Shortly thereafter, on October 21, 1997, the City Council approved a 60' x 80' (4800 square feet)
temporary banner, to be installed for the first two weeks of November. The approved sign reads "3 million in 3 years Thanks,
America!" The banner is not illuminated, and has a white background with black, blue, and red lettering.
Subsequently, on November 24, 1997, the City received DIRECTV's request (also attached) for an extension of the period
for the "Thank You" sign to remain hanging on its building. The request is for an extension until this year's end.
Section 20.60.030F of the Zoning Code requires that any sign over 500 square feet must be approved by the City Council.
As the sign is temporary and will be installed for only a very short time, through the end of December (a total of less than
two months), staff believes that it is consistent with the intent and purpose of the sign Code.
Additionally, the sign was issued Building Safety permits on November 4, 1997 (P.C. #1017 -97) to ensure that it is safely
constructed and attached to the building. Strength, safety, stress, and wind load analysis were required to ensure the safety
and structural integrity of the installation of the sign. Standard indemnification and liability insurance was also required.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: City Manager, New Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Amendment to Agreement for Electric Utility Restructuring Services between the City
of El Segundo and Astrum Energy Services, LLC to modify the project delivery schedule.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to execute an Amendment to the Agreement
(Contract Number 2532) that will extend the date for the submittal of the Section 3.2 Feasibility Study from
October 31, 1997, to December 1, 1997.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: By letter dated November 18, 1997, Astrum has requested an extension
for the submittal of the Section 3.2 Feasibility Study element of the agreement until December 1, 1997. Their
stated reason for the extension request is to allow them to develop additional markets in the area and to develop

AGREEMENT FOR ELECTRIC UTILITY
RESTRUCTURING SERVICES (the "Agreement ")
PARTIES.
The parties to this Agreement are:
The City of El Segundo (the "City ") and
ASTRUM ENERGY SERVICES, LLC
a California limited liability Company ( "ASTRUM ")
2. RECITALS.
25 342;
n' nr►���.��1'
ASTRUM believes that this AGREEMENT provides for potential benefit to the City based upon
the following facts and circumstances set forth in 2.1 through 2.4 which it believes to be true and correct:
2.1 AB1890.
On April 20, 1994, the State of California through its California Public Utilities Commission
( "CPUC ") proposed implementation of open access to transmission service for all retail customers. In the
ensuing two years many different proposals were evaluated for implementing open access, creating an open
market for the purchase of power from generators, establishing fair fees for transmission service and
allowing the utilities to recover for appropriate "stranded" investments. In 1996, Governor Wilson signed
AB1890 (California Electric Utility Restructuring Legislation) which opens the door for competition in the
supply of electric power and allows retail customers to choose their suppliers. The legislation creates a new
electricity market structure, authorizes direct transactions between competing electricity suppliers and retail
customers, provides equal access to transmission and distribution services, and establishes a charge to
recover the utilities' uneconomic generation costs. Many regulatory actions have been and will be taken
by CPUC to implement AB 1890, and future statutory amendments are likely.
2.2 The Opportunity.
Beginning January 1, 1998, a program now under preparation by the CPUC, will permit customers,
such as the City, to select electricity power suppliers. AB1890 empowers municipalities and public
agencies to: (i) provide energy to residents, businesses, and industry at lower costs, (ii) to provide creative
innovative products and services to give customers cost effective, efficient energy choices, (iii) select among
energy suppliers, (iv) set attractive economic development rates, (v) arrange cost effective tax- exempt
financing, (vi) provide additional revenues to, or reduce expenditures from, the general fund, (vii) compete
with other municipalities and regions which also have opportunities to reduce power cost, and (viii) realize
other efficiency measures including the opportunity to aggregate.
2.3 Aegre ag tion.
Aggregation of customer electric load will be authorized by the CPUC for all customer classes.
Public agencies such as the City, can combine ( "Aggregate ") energy requirements and provide service to
separate classes of customers (i.e., residential customers). Aggregation permits municipalities to combine
energy requirements at all locations or combine these requirements with other municipalities and /or their
LAX2- 186675.1 1 0 051
constituents. An aggregator can also function as a financing entity through which energy is purchased from
energy suppliers and resold to the end -user at advantage rates. Investor -owned utilities are required to
provide access to their facilities at comparable prices.
2.4 ASTRUM's Personnel
ASTRUM's staff and consultants have comprehensive knowledge of and hands on experience in
Restructuring and Aggregation. Its personnel are uniquely qualified to identify and structure opportunities
to realize substantial savings in energy supply costs. Thus, ASTRUM can provide the personnel, expertise
and advice necessary to enable the City to procure the energy and related services at the most favorable
prices. ASTRUM's Statement of Qualifications is attached as Exhibit 2.4.2 which includes the hourly rates
of ASTRUM's personnel which shall be the basis for the time costs set forth in section 4.1.
2.5 Basis For Agreement.
2.5.1 The City, based upon the above recitals and the other representations made by
ASTRUM, has determined, subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement ( "Conditions ")
below, to retain ASTRUM with respect to Aggregation and Restructuring to advise it and provide
consulting services and to potentially assume the City's rights and obligations as an Aggregator.
2.5.2 By using ASTRUM, the City desires to take advantage of this opportunity without
adding any staff or capital equipment facilities, and without adding any fixed overhead.
2.5.3 The parties recognize their mutual goal, to offer reliable electric power to City's
residents, businesses and industries at the lowest possible prices, to create a competitive alternative to
Southern California Edison Company energy and conservation services, and to give customers a quality of
service second to none. In so doing the parties believe that cheaper electric power will promote economic
development of the community, particularly industrial development enhancing of the City's economy and
employment base.
AGREEMENT
3. ENGAGEMENT; SCOPE OF SERVICES.
ASTRUM agrees that it will:
3.1 Proiect Description Plan:
Develop and submit a specific Project Description Plan (the "Plan "). The Plan will detail
the goals and outline the programs in which the City and /or ASTRUM may participate. The Plan shall be
completed by September 15, 1997.
3.2 Feasibility Study.
ASTRUM will complete by October 31, 1997, a feasibility study incorporating the
following elements. ASTRUM will:
3.2.1 Document the activities and approaches other municipalities are exploring in
becoming an Aggregator for their community.
3.2.2 Identify the services that an Aggregator can offer to the community.

3.2.3 Analyze Southern California Edison's proposed January 1, 1998 rate structure.
3.2.4 Identify opportunities to lower energy costs.
3.2.5 Forecast energy pricing.
3.2.6 Solicit public input, needs and discussion.
3.2.7 Survey residents, commercial and industrial customers to gauge level of interest.
3.2.8 Forecast energy purchases from an alternative supplier.
3.2.9 Forecast energy savings and revenues to the City.
3.3 Services.
ASTRUM will:
3.3.1 Originate and participate in energy information meetings to define and capitalize
on the City's unique territory, authority and opportunities.
3.3.2 Coordinate the City's power activities with the various State agencies, including the
CPUC, to assure that the entity which becomes the Aggregator (El Segundo Energy Services ( "ESES "))
will be able to timely select an alternative energy supplier.
3.3.3 Develop a marketing strategy specific to City's customer profile aggregating retail
load. ASTRUM shall be entitled to keep confidential, to the extent permitted by law, the specific names
and energy needs of individual businesses and residences. However, ASTRUM shall provide the City with
a general summary of this type of information.
3.3.4 Develop a plan to provide customer choice and service delivery options at
competitive prices.
3.3.5 Develop a plan to provide access to retail customers at the lowest prices available
on the open market.
3.3.6 Trademark ESES for the City.
3.3.7 Develop a plan to provide customers with a wide range of energy management
services that will enable them to operate more efficiently and control costs.
4. COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT / POTENTIAL PHASE II RELATIONSHIP
By this Agreement the City authorizes ASTRUM to perform certain designated services and
acknowledges that it contemplates, but does not bind itself to, an ongoing relationship. the Parties have

Agreement which results in litigation the losing party (as that term is defined in the decision) is required
to pay, as an element of damages, costs and attorneys' fees.

Re: Agreement for Electric Utility Restructuring Services
Dear Jim:
This letter recaps our most recent conversations, provides a brief update, and explains and requests a
Feasibility Study extension.
Due in no small part to our relationship with your City and the working rapport we have established,
ASTRUM has been able to broaden its South Bay surrounding area penetration and discuss Aggregation
with other potential participants. The continuing goal, obviously, is to build a business and resident
customer base that will enable El Segundo to bargain for the lowest possible prices to pass through to
power users. While nearly all of our dialogue in the surrounding communities has been positive, and we
keep developing better and deeper information on customer and power load profiles, ideally we could use
another few weeks within which to hone the numbers and turn feasibility into reality.
Although I have drafted and discussed the key points of the Feasibility Study, for each of the above
reasons, it would be to the City's, and its businesses and residents best interests, to work with the most
definitive information possible. Consequently, we suggest and request that this letter, and its acceptance by
you, modify our Agreement in the following items only:
• The Feasibility Study called for by Section 3.2 will be completed and presented by December
15, 1997; and
ASTRUM will not present any itemized billing statement contemplated by Section 4. 1, until
after the Feasibility Study has been presented and, subject to your satisfaction with that
statement, will not anticipate any payment sooner than 30 days after presentation of any
statement.
If this summary and request meet with the Council's, your, and Mark's approvals, perhaps the easiest
procedure by which to keep our files up to date is for you to initial and return a copy of this letter.
Thanks again. The horizon is getting closer and brighter.
