(Council Meeting, January 21, 1997)
EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 21, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business - Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Continued Public Hearing to review environmental impacts of Hydrogen and Compressed Dry Air (CDA) pipelines to
be constructed in the public right -of -way on Grand Avenue and Kansas Street in conjunction with a Nitrogen gas and
other Pipeline License Agreement approved by the Council on October 1, 1996; and, on private property at 222, 233
and 330 Kansas Street and 1521 East Grand Avenue. (Environmental Assessment EA -397). Applicant: Air Products,
Inc.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Open Continued Public Hearing;
2) Discussion (if desired); and,
3) Continue Public Hearing to February 4, 1997.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On October 1, 1996, the City Council approved a Pipeline License Agreement between the City of El Segundo and
Air Products for installation of nitrogen gas pipelines and other pipelines for future use within the City public street right -
of -way of Grand Avenue and Kansas Street. The "other" pipelines were subject to subsequent City Council approval.
This item requests approval of an Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts, for the use
of the "other" pipelines to transport hydrogen gas and CDA between Air Products and International Rectifier facilities
located at 222, 233, 330 Kansas Street, and 1521 East Grand Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
Staff identified the need and requested the applicant to prepare an "Off -site Consequence Analysis ", similar to the
analysis which is being prepared for the Hyperion- Scattergood Digester Gas Pipeline. It should evaluate the potential
hazards associated with the operation of the proposed hydrogen pipeline. The Public Hearing was originally noticed
for the regular City Council meeting of January 7, 1997. However, the Analysis was not completed by that meeting
date; so Staff, with the applicant's agreement, recommended Continuance to this evening. While the Consequence
Study was subsequently submitted to the City on January 6, 1997, additional information was requested regarding the
probability of accidents described in the analysis and the residential and business populations within the area of
potential impact. Staff feels this information is necessary to provide a complete analysis about the safety of the
proposed hydrogen pipeline. As a result, Staff again recommends, with the proponents acknowledgement, a (further)
Continuance to the first Council meeting of February. In order to avoid re- noticing, Staff recommends that the Council
open the Continued Public Hearing and then continue the public hearing again to the regular February 4, 1997 City
Council meeting. It is anticipated that by then the additional analysis will have been prepared and reviewed by
appropriate City departments.

1. Introduce Ordinance.

MS.
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 their hazardous materials efforts through one local
agency instead of three county and state agencies. The Ordinance is required for certification.
The El Segundo Fire Department has submitted its application to become a CUPA in order to assist local
businesses in eliminating redundant regulatory efforts. The Fire Department already performs three of the six
regulatory functions and can perform the other three functions without additional staff. Fees currently collected by
Los Angeles County and state agencies will be collected by and for the City of El Segundo. Those fees will be
either the same as or less than those currently being paid. The City's adoption of those fees will be presented to
Council at a later date.
Local businesses have offered widespread support for the CUPA process for the following reasons:
• a simplified and centralized permit process
• businesses will have only one local inspector coordinating their activities during inspections
• potential for lower permit fees
DISCUSSION:
The attached draft Ordinance authorizes the City of El Segundo Fire Department, upon certification, to implement
and enforce provisions of California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.7 concerning underground
storage of hazardous substances. Approximately 40 businesses maintain underground tanks and are inspected
every 3 years for potential releases and operation of leak detection equipment. The entire program is monitored
by the State Water Resources Control Board to ensure compliance with State and Federal underground tank
enforcement requirements.
This program provides benefits to both the City and businesses by accelerating the permit process through local
implementation and elimination of duplicate inspections.

SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any
reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the ordinance.

subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 4. This ordinance shall become effective upon State certification of the El Segundo
Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) application.
SECTION 5. This ordinance is required for the City of El Segundo to be eligible to participate in
the Unified Program created by Chapter 6.11. Delay in the adoption of this ordinance could
jeopardize the state's certification of the Unified Program that includes the City of El Segundo.
SECTION 6. The City clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance; shall
cause the same to be entered in the book of original ordinances of said city; shall make a
minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the meeting at which the same is

agency, and the offices, boards, and departments within the agency,
to institute quality government programs, as defined, in order to
achieve specified goals. The secretary would also be required to
develop a model quality management program for use by local
agencies at their discretion.
The bill would require, on and after December 31, 1998, the
California Environmental Protection Agency, and each board,
department, and office within the agency, to submit a yearly report
to the Governor and Legislature, as part of the budget process,
reporting on the extent to which they have attained their
performance objectives, and on their continuous quality
improvement efforts.
The bill would require those offices, boards, and departments, by
December 31, 1995, to implement a fee accountability program that
meets specified requirements.
The bill would require a board, department, or office which
determines that the amount of a fee that is fixed in statute should be
increased to notify the Legislature, but if the amount is not fixed in
statute, the board, department, or office would be allowed to
increase the fee only if it makes written findings in the record that
it has implemented a fee accountability program. The bill would
require the agency to conduct a study regarding the purposes to
which revenue derived from fines and penalties is directed.
The bill would require the boards, departments, and offices within
the agency, prior to establishing certain chemical risk assessment

agency at a level sufficient to pay the necessary and reasonable costs
incurred by the agency in administering the program. The bill would
require the fee to include a surcharge, the amount of which the
secretary would be required to determine, to cover the necessary
and reasonable costs of state agencies in carrying out the unified
program. The bill would require the surcharge to be deposited in the
Unified Program Account, which the bill would create in the General
Fund, and would allow the revenues to be expended, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, b), any state agency for the
purposes of implementing the unified program.

(4) The bill would require the Secretary for Environmental
Protection, by January 1, 1995, to develop, in accordance with
prescribed procedures, a hazardous waste facility regulation and
permitting consolidation program providing for specified matters.
The bill would specify related matters.
(5) Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to prepare
a specified report upon receiving certain recommendations from the
Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment regarding toxic
air contaminants which is authorized to serve as the basis for certain
regulatory actions regarding a particular substance. The report is
required to be reviewed by a specified scientific review panel. If the
scientific review panel determines that the health effects report is
seriously deficient, the report is required to be returned to the board.
The bill would instead require the panel to return the report to the
board if the report is not based upon sound scientific knowledge,
methods, or practices.
(6) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.

(c) (1) In making the determination of whether or not to certify
a particular applicant agency as a certified unified program agency,
the secretary shall consider the applications of every other applicant
agency applying to be a certified unified program agency within the
same county, in order to determine the impact of each certification
decision on the county. If the secretary identifies that there may be
adverse impacts on the county if any particular agency in a county
is certified, the secretary shall work cooperatively with each affected
agency to address the secretary's concerns.
(2) The secretary shall not certify an agency to be a certified
unified program agency unless the secretary finds both of the
following:
(A) The unified program will be implemented in a coordinated
and consistent manner throughout the entire county in which the
applicant agency is located.
(B) The administration of the unified program throughout the
entire county in which the applicant agency is located will be less
fragmented between jurisdictions, as compared to before January 1,
1994, with regard to the administration of the provisions specified in
subdivision (c) of Section 25404.
(d) The secretary shall not certify an applicant agency which
proposes to allow other agencies to implement certain elements of
the unified program unless the secretary makes all of the following
findings:
(1) The applicant agency has adequate authority, and has in place
adequate systems, protocols, or agreements, to ensure that the
actions of the other Agencies proposed to implement certain
elements of the unified program are fully coordinated and consistent
with each other and with those of the applicant agency, and to ensure
full compliance with the regulations implementing the unified
program adopted by the secretary pursuant to this chapter.

of the unified program have the capability and resources to
91 340
0 01)27
-11- Ch. 418
implement those elements, taking into account the factors
designated in subdivision (b).
(3) If any of the other agencies proposed to implement certain
elements of the unified program are not directly responsible to the
same governing body as the applicant agency, the applicant agency
maintains an agreement with any agency which ensures that the
requirements of Section 25404.2 will be fully implemented.
(4) If the applicant agency proposes that any agency other than
itself will be responsible for implementing aspects of the single fee
system imposed pursuant to Section 25404.5, the applicant agency
maintains an agreement with that agency which ensures that the fee
system is implemented in a fully consistent and coordinated manner,
and which ensures that each participating agency receives the
amount which it determines to constitute its necessary and
teasonable costs of implementing the element or elements of the
unified program which it is responsible for implementing.
(e) Until a city's br County's application for certification to
implement the unified program is acted upon by the secretary, the
roles, responsibilities, and authority for implementing the programs
identified in subdivision (c) of Section 25404 which existed in that
city or county pursuant to statutory authorization as of December 31,
1993, shall remain in effect.
(f) (1) If no local agency has been certified by January 1, 1997, to
implement the unified program within a city, either the county in
which the city is located, or the joint powers agency into which the

program, shall implement the unified program within that city, if the
county or joint powers agency is a certified unified program agency.
In such an instance; the secretary shall work cooperatively with the
county or joint powers agency and the city to develop the details of
the county's unified program implementation efforts in that city.
(2) If no local agency has been certified by January 1, 1997, to
implement the unified program within the unincorporated area of
a county, the secretary shall determine how the unified program
should be implemented in the unincorporated area of the county,
and in any city in which there is no agency certified to implement
the unified program. In such an instance, the secretary shall work
cooperatively with the county and cities to determine which
combination of state and local agencies should implement the
unified program, and shall determine which agency should be
designated as the certified unified program agency. If the secretary
determines that the protection of public health and safety and the
environment would be best served by maintaining part or all of the
roles, responsibilities, and authority for implementing the programs
identified in subdivision (c) of Section 25404 which existed in the city
or county as of December 31, 1993, the secretary may authorize those
roles and responsibilities and that authority to continue.

ability of each certified unified program agency to carry out the
requirements of this chapter. If a certified unified program agency
fails to meet its obligations to adequately implement the unified
program, the secretary may withdraw the agency's certification, or
may enter into a program improvement agreement with the agency
to make necessary improvements.. An agency with which the
secretary has entered into a program improvement agreement may
continue to implement the unified program while the program
improvement agreement is in effect and is complied with.
(2) Before withdrawing an agency's certification, the secretary
shall submit to the certified unified program agency a notification of
the secretary's intent to withdraw certification, in which the
secretary shall specify the reasons why the certified unified program
agency has failed to meet its obligations to adequately implement the
unified program. The secretary shall provide the certified unified
program agency with a reasonable time to respond to the reasons
specified in the notification and to correct the deficiencies specified
in the notification. The certified unified program agency may
request a public hearing, at which the secretary shall hear the
agency's response to the reasons specified in the notification.
(b) If the secretary finds that a certified unified program agency
has failed to adequately enforce the requirements of the unified
program with respect to a particular facility, the secretary may direct
the appropriate state agency to take any necessary actions and to
issue necessary orders to the facility. If the secretary fmds that this
failure to adequately enforce the requirements of the unified
program may result in an imminent and substantial endangerment
to the environment or to the public health and safety, the secretary
shall direct the appropriate state agency to take any necessary
actions and to issue the necessary orders to the facility.
25404.5. (a) (1) Each certified unified program agency shall
institute it single fee system, which shall replace the fees levied

Section 25404. Notwithstanding Sections 25205.14, 25287, 25513, and
25535.2, a person who complies with the certified unified program
agency's single fee system fee shall not be required to pay any fee
levied pursuant to those sections.
(2) The governing body of the certified unified program agency
shall establish the amount to be paid by each person regulated by the
unified program under the single fee system at a level sufficient to
pay the necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the certified
unified program agency and by any participating agency pursuant to
the requirements of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section
25404.3.
(3) The fee system may also be designed to recover the necessary
and reasonable costs incurred by the certified unified program
agency, or a participating agency pursuant to the requirements of
paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 25404.3, in administering
provisions other than those specified in subdivision (c) of Section
25404, if the implementation and enforcement of those provisions has
been incorporated as part of the unified program by the certified
unified program agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section
25404.2, and if the single fee system replaces any fees levied as of
January 1, 1994, to fund the implementation of those additional
provisions.
(4) The amount to be paid by a person regulated by the unified
program may be adjusted to account for the differing costs of
administering the unified program with respect to that person's
regulated activities.
(b) The single fee system instituted by each certified unified
program agency shall include an assessment on each person
regulated by the unified program of a surcharge, the amount of
which shall be determined by the secretary annually, to cover the
necessary and reasonable costs of state agencies in carrying out their
responsibilities under this .chapter. The secretary may adjust the
amount of the surcharge to be collected by different certified unified
program agencies to reflect the different costs incurred by the state
In supervising the implementation of the unified program itt
different jurisdictions. The certified unified program agency may
itemize the amount of the surcharge on any bill, invoice, or return
which the agency sends to a person regulated by the unified
program. Each certified unified program agency shall transmit all
surcharge revenues collected to the secretary within 45 days after
receipt of the revenues pursuant to subdivision (a) . The surcharge
shall be deposited in the Unified Program Account, which is hereby

purposes of implementing this chapter.
(c) Each certified unified program agency and the secretary shall,
before the institution of the single fee system and the assessment of
the surcharge, implement a fee accountability program designed to
encourage more efficient and cost - effective operation of the
program for which the single fee and surcharge are assessed. The fee
accountability programs shall include those elements of the
requirements of the plan adopted pursuant to Section 25206 Which
the secretary determines are appropriate.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of El Segundo, California, providing for language changes to Chapter
1A2 (Management - Confidential Series) of the El Segundo Administrative Code. Fiscal Impact: None.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Adopt Resolution.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
As with possible salary and /or benefit adjustments for Executive Management and Mid- Management/Confidential
positions, the City Council also regularly considers proposed language, policy and rule changes for the group, as
outlined in Chapter 1A2 of the El Segundo Administrative Code.
DISCUSSION:
Adoption of the attached Resolution would provide for the following changes to Chapter 1A2 of the El Segundo
Administrative Code:
1. Revision of Section 1A2.115, "Education Expenses -Reimbursement" such that employees may not participate
in the program until completion of their initial twelve month probationary period and that reimbursement must be
repaid to the City for a separation from service voluntarily or through termination with cause. These same
requirements are in place for all our represented employees.
2. Revision of Section 1A2.130, "Uniform Allowances ", clarifying existing practice that the City will provide the initial
uniform for Sworn Police and Fire Management Personnel (Fire Chief, Battalion Chiefs, Police Chief, Police
Captains, Police Lieutenants). This is language consistent with similar provisions of the Police Officer's
Association and Firefighter's Association Memorandums of Understanding.
3. Addition of a new section to Chapter 1A2 providing for a new Grievance Policy for Mid - management and
Confidential employees.
4. Addition of a new section to Chapter 1A2 providing for a Catastrophic Leave Bank Policy. Language is consistent

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT
Annual adoption of the
Investment
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL AU i run:
1. Discussion (if desired); and
2. Adopt City's Investment Policy as revised by the
MEETING DATE: January 21, 1997
AGENDA HEADING: New Business -City Treasurer
r Treasurer's and City Attorney's offices.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
At its February 6, 1996 meeting the City Council adopted an Investment Policy. The Council further included a
comprehensive evaluation of the City's investment portfolio to determine.compliance with this policy as a part of
the City audit task.
On December 17, 1996 the Council reviewed the reports and discussed questions relative to the investment
policy, investment instruments and the contents of the portfolio reports. The City Treasurer and City Attorney were
asked to prepare revisions and return to the Council.
DISCUSSION:
Government Code Section 53601 requires that local agencies adopt an Investment Policy annually., On February
6, 1996 the City adopted its current Policy. The City's auditors (Thomas, Bigbie & Smith) in their review of the
City's investment activities identified Sections 6.0, 9.0 and 12.0 as needing revision and /or clarification. The City
Treasurer and City Attorney worked with the City's auditors to revise these sections and to make minor changes to
Sections 2.0, 4.,3 and 10.0. Along with a copy of the proposed revised Investment Policy, a redline version is
attached which reflects the changes between the current Policy and the proposed revised Investment Policy.
More specifically, Section 6.0 was revised to clarify the standards by which broker /dealers are to be selected and
to provide that the list of the City's authorized broker /dealers will be provided to the City Council along with the
monthly investment report. It was also revised to clarify that an audited financial statement for each
broker /dealer's last fiscal year must be on file with the City. Finally, Section 6.0 was revised to specifically
incorporate the provisions of the Government Code which regulate the City's use of depositories.
Section 9.0 was modified to clarify that certificates of deposit will not be held by third -party custodian agents
because of the impracticality and lack of necessity of such.
Lastly, Section 12.0 was revised to reflect the distinctions between the internal versus external controls that the
City will implement with respect to its investments. Section 12.0 was also revised to clarify the Treasurer's
obligations with respect to reviewing and reporting on reports issued by Counties in which the City has funds
invested with the County investment pool.

In connection with our audit of the City's financial statements for the year ending June 30, 1996,
we have completed our quarterly review of Investment Policies and Transactions for the months
of April, May and June, 1996. Our review consisted of the procedures summarized below.
1) We reviewed the City's Investment Policy and Minutes of City Council meetings
to determine whether it was reviewed /adopted at a public meeting annually and
that it establishes safety, liquidity and yield in order as priority objectives.
2) We reviewed the City's Investment Policy to determine whether it limited reverse
repurchase agreements to 20% of the base portfolio and prohibited inverse
floaters, range notes, interest only strips derived from CMO's.
3) We reviewed the monthly investment reports to determine they included: type of
investment; issuer; maturity; par and dollar amount invested; market value and
source of valuation (for all investments except LAIF, FDIC insured accounts or
other accounts managed by another local government agency) and a statement
from the City's treasurer as to the City's compliance with its adopted investment
policy.
4) We reviewed the monthly investment reports to determine they included a
statement from the City's treasurer regarding the City's ability to meet the next
6 month's budgeted expenditures.
5) We reviewed the minutes of City Council meetings to determine if the prior
quarter's monthly investment reports were presented to the City Council within
30 days of the end of the month.
6) We selected all investments held as of the date of the quarterly investment report
and compared them to the maximum maturity limit and portfolio percentage limits
included in the current government code section 53601 and the City's investment
policy.

a
7) For the investments selected in step 6 above, we matched the information
reported (including market value) in the monthly investment reports to supporting
documentation.
8) We judgementally selected 16 investment transactions (buy, sell, maturity)
reflected in the monthly investment reports and matched the reported information
to purchase or sales confirmations, bank statements and third party custodian
receipts or reports.
The above procedures constitute only a portion of our audit procedures in connection with our
examination of the financial statements for the year ending June 30, 1996. Accordingly, this
summary should not be considered an opinion on the financial statements of the City taken as
a whole. Also, these procedures do not constitute an audit opinion of the system of internal
controls in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
accountants. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our
attention that would have been reported to you. This report relates only to the accounts and
items specified and does not extend to the financial statements of the City, taken as a whole.
The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal
accounting control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objective
of a system is to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets
are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are
executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal accounting Ontrol, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the system
to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.
Our procedures disclosed instances of noncompliance with the Government Code and City's
Investment Policy which are described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned
Costs.
This report is restricted to use by the City Council and management, and should not be used for
any other purpose.
We wish to thank the City staff for their consideration and assistance during the performance
of the quarterly review.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
June 30, 1996
A) Submission of Investment Reports
Finding:
Section 53646 (b)(1) of the Government Code states that the treasurer or chief
fiscal officer shall submit an investment report within 30 days of the end of the
quarter covered by the report. Section 14.0 of the City's Investment Policy states
that the City Treasurer must file an investment report with the City Manager and
the City Council on a monthly basis. After reading the minutes and speaking
with City staff we determined that the City Treasurer did not present investment
reports to the City Manager and the City Council within 30 days of the end of the
quarter or the month covered by the report as required by the Government Code
and Investment Policy.
Recommendation:
We recommend the City Treasurer submit the investment report within 30 days
of the end of the month covered by the report as required by the more stringent
Investment Policy, thus complying with the Government Code.
' Re�onse:
The City Treasurer concurs and will begin submitting the investment reports
' within 30 days as required by the Government Code and the Investment Policy.
B) Authorized Financial Broker /Dealers and Institutions
Findin :
Section 6.0 of the City's Investment Policy states that the City Treasurer will
maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services.
The Investment Policy also states that an annual review of the financial condition
and registrations of qualified bidders will be conducted by the City Treasurer, and
a current audited financial statement is required to be on file for each financial
institution and broker /dealer in which the City invests.
During our procedures we noted that the most current authorized list of financial
broker /dealers and institutions was dated October 5, 1993. We also were unable
to determine if an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of
qualified bidders had recently been conducted. Furthermore, City staff was
unable to locate a current audited financial statement for each financial institution
in which the City invests.

B) Authorized Financial Broker /Dealers and Institutions - Continued
Recommendation:
We suggest the City Treasurer maintain and review, at least annually, a list of
financial institutions that are authorized to provide services to the City. This list
could possibly be submitted to the City Manager and City Council along with the
monthly investment report. Again, at least annually, we recommend that the City
Treasurer review the financial condition and registrations of qualified bidders, and
present this to the City Council for approval. This will provide some sort of
assurance that the City is receiving the most qualified and economical services
available to the City. Additionally, since the Investment Policy is somewhat
ambiguous regarding the current audited financial statement to be on file for each
financial institution and broker /dealer in which the City invests. We recommend
that City look into revising its Investment Policy to define which financial
institutions are to be included under this requirement.
Response:
Effective October 1, 1996, a document entitled "Schedule of Authorized Financial
Institutions is maintained by the City Treasurer's office. Furthermore, the City
Treasurer concurs that the, Investment Policy should be updated for the
aforementioned suggestions.
C) Establishing Written Procedures for the Operation of the Investment Program
Finding:
During our review of the Investment Policy, we noted that the City Treasurer has
not established written procedures for the operating of the investment program
consistent with the Investment Policy as stated in Section 5.0 of the City's
Investment Policy. These procedures are to refer to safekeeping, wire transfers,
collateral /depository. . agreements, banking service contracts, delegation of
authority to persons responsible for investment transactions and shall establish a
system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinates officials.
Recommendation:
We recommend the City Treasurer develop a set of written procedures that will
ensure the investment program is functioning consistently with the City's
Investment Policy.

C) Est ablishIn 1, Written Procedures for the O eration of the Investment
Program - Continued
Resi)onse:
The City Treasurer concurs and is currently developing written procedures to
ensure that the investment program is functioning consistently with the City's
Investment Policy.
D) Establishing Internal Control Procedures over Investment Activities
Finding:
Section 12.0 of the Investment Policy indicates that an annual process of
independent review by an external auditor will provide internal control over
investment activities. Internal control is a process whereby the daily practices of
individuals working with an element establish and reinforce the control. An
independent external review can only point to problems in the process. It cannot
be the process itself. It appears that Section 12.0 is implying that the City will
exercise no control over investment activities and that the (once a year)
independent external review is the internal control. In many cases, the
independent external review is after the fact.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the City consider revising Section 12.0 of the Investment
Policy.
Response:
The City Treasurer concurs and is considering revising Section 12.0 of the
Investment Policy.
E) City Treasurer Investment Reports
Finding:
Section 53646 (b)(3) of the Government Code states that the City Treasurer's
Investment Report shall include a statement denoting the ability of the City to
meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months (or provide an
explanation as to why sufficient money may not be available). The current

E) City Treasurer Investment Reports - Contiuucd
Finding - Continued:
Investment Report provides a statement that the City can meet only the next
month's estimated expenditures. Additionally, we noted that the correct market
valuation of certain investments and the source of such valuation was not included
in the investment report as required by Section 53646 (b)(1) of the Government
Code. Furthermore, the Investment Report does not provide for a statement by
the City Treasurer that the City's investment portfolio complies with the City's
Investment Policy, or in such an instance that the City's investment portfolio is
not in compliance with the City's Investment Policy.
Recommendation:
In order to comply with the aforementioned sections of the Government Code, we
recommend that the City Treasurer consider revising the Monthly Investment
Report which is submitted to the City Manager and City Council.
The City Treasurer concurs and is in the process of revising the Monthly
Investment Report.
Fi Safekeeping and Custody of Securities
in in
Section 9.0 of the Investment Policy provides that all securities will be held by
a third party custodian. Currently, the City has two certain securities in its vault.
Recommendation:
We suggest that either the City Treasurer put these securities in the safekeeping
of a third party custodian or revise the City's Investment Policy to exclude these
types of securities from this requirement under Section 9.0.
Response:
The City Treasurer concurs and is considering modifying Section 9.0 of the
Investment Policy to exclude these types of securities.

G) Investment Policv Deficiencies - Continued
Findin :
Section 12.0 of the revised Investment Policy has some revisions that are not
necessarily applicable to the City. Government Code Sections 27133 and 27134
pertain mainly to the County Treasurer, and Government Code Section 16481.2
relates to the State Treasurer. Furthermore, it appears that this section of the
Investment Policy remains a little unclear as to the role of the City Treasurer
and /or the City itself in relation to the above Government Code Sections.
Recommendation:
In order to clarify the duties and responsibilities of the City Treasurer and the
City pertaining to Section 12.0, we recommend that the City Treasurer review
and revise Section 12.0 of the Investment Policy as appropriate.
Response:.
The City Treasurer concurs and is considering revising Section 12.0 of the
Investment Policy in regards to these Government Code Sections.

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 15, 1997
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jane Friedkin, Councilwoman
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM FOR JANUARY 21, 1997 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
I have agendized for the January 21, 1997 City Council meeting a discussion regarding
employee safety and attendance recognition programs.
In addition to the attached samples of safety and attendance award programs and
catalog containing possible safety program awards and materials, I have also obtained
information on safety award programs in place at Chevron and the City of Manhattan
Beach.
Chevron
According to Greg Benz of Chevron's Risk Management Department, the company has
an informal program (no written materials) of safety related awards. Hard Hat Decals
are awarded to employees who have gone one year (based on hire date) without an
on- the -job accident or injury. In addition an employee who goes five years without an
on- the -job accident or injury is awarded a "Safety Recognition Certificate," signed by
the Plant Manager. Greg mentioned that while the award is meant to be presented by
the Plant Manager, in reality the presentation is often made by the employees
immediate supervisor. Awarding of coffee mugs to all employees, based on a reduction
in the injury rate company or plant wide, have also occurred.
Manhattan Beach
Their current program provides that after one year of injury free work time the employee
is awarded a coffee mug and two movie passes. Each department tracks its own
employees and eligibility for the award starts over every calendar year.
A proposed program will provide for a more substantial award based on three years of
injury free work time as described below:
"Since the Safety Points Plan is designed to address the issue of safety
performance, it is important that positive incentives be provided to employees
who achieve outstanding safety performance.
Beyond existing promotions and merit pay plans, it is important to provide
meaningful awards for employees who achieve and maintain exemplary levels of
safety performance. The significance of these awards should be commensurate
with the level of achievement.
Generally, awards will be earned for achieving 12 -month increments of safe
work performance. They may take the form of coffee mugs, lapel pins, caps,
badges, belt buckles, desk accessories, T- shirts, jackets, etc. It is important that
whatever is given to the employee can be displayed or worn at the job site, as
this will provide the most meaningful sense of achievement for the employee and
the City.
Employees achieving 36 -month increments of safe work performance will receive
a special award for demonstrating outstanding safety practices.
Appropriate awards for each job classification are to be determined by the
Central Safety Committee. Non - manual employees will be eligible for awards by
nomination of their Department Head only, as their standard of performance
should be accident free."
Given that our City Safety Committee is made up of representatives of all of our
departments the Committee would be an excellent resource for the development and
implementation of our own Safety Award Program.
My recommendation is to direct the City Manager to proceed with the development of
an employee safety and attendance recognition program.
