INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: On August 4, 5,19, and September 16,1997, the City Council held a continued public hearing on the above referenced project. On September 16, 1997, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1279 to amend the following sections of the City's General Plan, Zoning Code, and Zoning Map: 1) Smoky Hollow Specific Plan Parking, 2) Parking Demand Studies, 3) Outdoor Dining Access, 4) Storm Water Management, 5) Garage Street Side Setbacks, 6) Thrifty Land Use and Zone Changes, and 7) Drive - thru's - (GPA only).

A brief summary of the City Council's original direction for the Amendment Is shown at the beginning of each subject in bold type. Each proposed amendment has multiple redline /strikeout exhibits associated with it. Each exhibit has been labeled with a header to easily cross - reference the exhibit to the appropriate proposed Amendment. 1. Parking Covenant - Revise off -site parking covenant requirements to provide a maximum 90 year time limit for the covenant (ZTA). The City Attorney had requested revisions to the Off -Site Covenant requirements in order to provide a time limit for the Covenant. Under Section 20.54.080 of the Zoning code, property owners may enter into joint use and off -site parking facilities agreements under certain situations. These agreements are then recorded as covenant against the property. The proposed revisions to this Code Section as reviewed by the Council on August 19, 1997, would have made several minor changes. First, new language was proposed to Subsection B which would have made it clear that the covenant created by the agreement would terminate no later than ninety years after the agreement becomes effective. Under the rule of perpetuities, certain covenants and agreements are invalid unless they terminate either within ninety years after they are created or within twenty -one years after the death of a person alive whom is a party to the covenant when the covenant or agreement was first created. By making this revision, the agreements to be created pursuant to Section 20.54.080 would not be held invalid based on the rule against perpetuities. Second, the first change in Subsection A clarified that the covenant created by the joint use and off -site parking facilities agreement must be recorded prior to issuance of any building permits or the beginning of the use, which ever occurs first. Third, the second change to Subsection A clarified that the City Attorney may also require that certain conditions and provisions be included in a joint use or off -site parking facilities agreement. On May 8, 1997, the Planning Commission discussed the revisions that the City Attorney requested to the Off -site Parking Covenant requirements in order to provide a time limit for the Covenant and agreed with staff's recommendation. On August 19,1997, a representative of Continental Development Corporation requested, and Council agreed, to allow Continental to work with the City to address concerns they had with the proposed amendment related to subservient title and the imposition of conditions by the City Attorney. On September 10, 1997, Continental Development Corporation submitted a letter to the City Attorney (attached) which addresses their concerns related to the parking covenant revision. Continental Development Corporation requested the following changes: 1) 20.54.080A That the parking covenant be recorded prior to Certificate of Occupancy instead of prior to Building Permit issuance, as is currently required by the Zoning Code and as is proposed to remain in the Amendment. 2) 20.54.080A That the City Attorney not be allowed to include conditions or provisions within the covenant. (The current Code allows the Planning Commission and the Director of Planning and Building Safety to impose conditions; however, as the Council is aware, Planning Staff does currently consult the City Attorney on these types of issues and imposes conditions based on his recommendations.) 3) 20.54.080B1 That up to 100% of the daytime use parking could be used for nighttime parking, instead of 50% as currently allowed and proposed. 4) 20.54.080B3 Rewrite the entire Section for clarification and increased flexibility. Then on October 14, 1997, the City Attorney and staff met with a Continental Development Corporation representative to discuss these issues; and, provided staff additional revisions to the requirements for parking covenants to simplify the regulations and address the concerns raised by Continental Development Corporation. The following revisions are now proposed for Council consideration: 0 015 1) 20.54.080A Staff proposes allowing parking covenants for off -site parking with fewer than ten (10) parking spaces to be approved administratively by the Director of Planning and Building instead of the Planning Commission. This would provide flexibility for staff to approve small changes in use which may require a few extra parking spaces. 2) 20.54.080A Despite Continental Development Corporation's earlier request, staff still recommends parking covenants be recorded prior to issuance of a Building Permit instead of prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. 3) 20.54.08061 Staff has expanded the use of joint parking arrangements by removing the 50% maximum in the current Code and eliminating the criteria that the uses be daytime versus nighttime uses. There my be other circumstances which warrant joint use parking that would be prohibited by the daytime versus nighttime restriction. 4) 20.54.08063 Staff recommends deleting this Section in its entirety. Deleting the Section would eliminate the repetitive language and resolve issues dealing with subservient title. Staff is confident that each request for a parking covenant can be reviewed under the authority of the language in the proposed text by Staff and the City Attorney to ensure that the intent of the Zoning Code to provide sufficient parking for the off -site uses will be maintained. Staff also feels there may be instances in which parking covenants should be granted for periods of time less than ninety years, thus the originally proposed ninety year time limit on parking covenants has been deleted. The representative from Continental Development Corporation agreed, in concept, to these changes at the aforementioned meeting. 2. Sound Transmission Control - Move Sound Transmission Control regulations to Title 16 of the El Segundo Municipal Code and revise standards (ZTA). To provide an understanding of the evolution of the City's Sound Transmission Control regulations, a brief history is provided below. 01 December 1992 El Segundo adopted a General Plan (for the years 1992 - 2010) 02 November 1993 Urgency Ordinance 1211 is adopted. This Ordinance, among other things, replaced the existing Title 19 and 20 in the Interim Zoning Code. A proposal for the City's Sound Transmission Control, Chapter 20.58, requiring acoustical insulation of certain new residential construction and certain modifications of existing residential construction, was part of the new Title 20 adopted. The urgency was caused by the fact that the existing Interim Zoning Code would expire on 4 November 1993. Should no further action be taken, Ordinance 1211 would expire on 3 January 1994. 16 November 1993 Ordinance 1212 is adopted repealing Urgency Ordinance 1211. Among other things Ordinance 1212 codified the changes made to Titles 19 and 20 in Urgency Ordinance 1211, with minor modifications. 07 June 1994 Interim Zoning Ordinance 1224 is adopted, with an expiration date of 22 July 1994. This Ordinance modified Chapter 20.58. Chapter 20.58 was originally designed to comply with rather stringent requirements placed on jurisdictions participating in the LAX Residential Sound Insulation Matching Grant Program. For instance, LAX required that the Code be applied to all homes in the 6OdB noise impact area rather than the 65dB area. IZO 1224 uses the Year 2000 65db noise contour which equates approximately to the current 70 db noise contour. Compliance with the LAX mandate would require that the Code apply to approximately 5000 rather than the 2500 residential parcels specified in the IZO. 05 July 1994 Urgency Ordinance 1225 is adopted extending the life of Interim Zoning Ordinance 1224 to 22 January 1995. Because it became clear that LAX had become intractable with respect to their new demand for easements the City permitted the clock to run out on IZO 1224. 0 016 22 January 1995 IZO 1224 expired and the City reverted to Chapter 20.58, earlier described in Ordinance 1212, of 16 November 1993. The current proposal is to modify and move Chapter 20.58 from the Zoning Code to the Municipal Code under Title 16 of the Building Safety Code, as Chapter 16.42, a location more appropriate for the purpose and content of the Code. 21 October 1997 Staff recommends moving Zoning Code Chapter 20.58 to Chapter 16.42 of the Municipal Code. Several additions and changes are offered to provide additional clarity to the Code. The only substantive changes recommended for incorporation reduce the stringency of the Code. For example, applicability of the Code is limited to homes predicted to be in the Year 2000 LAX noise contour. Those homes are currently heavily impacted by LAX noise and will remain so for the foreseeable future. What are the recommendations concerning the Sound Transmission Control Code? Several changes are proposed for Chapter 20.58 of the Zoning Code, at the suggestion of City staff, including relocating it from Title 20, the Zoning Code, to Title 16, the Buildings and Structures Chapter of the Municipal Code. The regulations contained pertain to the specifics of residential construction more than to the broader guidance of the Zoning Code, and Sound Transmission Control is enforced by the City's Building Safety Division (which administers Title 16), not the Planning Division (which oversees Title 20). The following outlines the proposed revisions: 1. Section 16.42.010 PURPOSE has been expanded to include that the objective of residential insulation, where required, is to achieve an interior noise level of 45dB or lower. 2. Section 16.42.015 DEFINITIONS was added to provide definitions for the acoustic terms, since the absence of these definitions have caused some confusion to users. Most of these definitions are currently included in the Zoning Code and they have been updated. Two new definitions are added to emphasize the differences between Expansions (Definition 3.) and Remodels (Definition 5.). Paragraph D of Section 16.42.020, SCOPE, has been expanded to explain why the Noise Contour Map of the City uses Year 2000 predicted contours, rather than past or present contours. Emphasis on the Code's use of the predicted noise contours for the Year 2000 as the boundary for applicability of the Sound Transmission Control Code is made here and elsewhere. It should be noted that if the predicted contour is accurate, there will be a future reduction of approximately 45% in the number of El Segundo residences currently within the LAX noise impact area. 4. Section 16.42.040, APPLICATION TO EXISTING BUILDINGS, has been modified with bold titles to make use of the Chapter easier. The sub - sections of this Section have been reorganized to provide a smoother flow of concepts. Following Sub - section A., the parameters which mandate acoustic insulation are provided followed by descriptions of those conditions which exempt residential construction from being insulated. The Section has also been expanded to include the four situations wherein acoustic insulation would be mandatory in El Segundo. Sub - sections B., C., and D. include additional descriptions to clarify the differences between remodels, generally the modification of the interior of an existing structure without significant increase to the structure's square footage; room additions; and, residential expansions which include multiple room additions which add to the structure's total square footage. The four situations in which the homeowner /developer must acoustically insulate, according to the existing Code, include the following: A. Paragraph C: When the value of a residential remodel reaches 75% of the assessed value of the existing home the homeowner /developer must acoustically insulate (The homeowner /developer may use the assessed value recorded with the county or a current assessment made by a licensed property appraiser); B.. Paragraph D: When a habitable, separable, Ld room is added which increases the total square footage of the home; C. Paragraph E: When the addition is over 500 square feet; and, D. Paragraph E & G: When the addition is to be made to a home that has already been insulated using public funds. 5. Section 16.42.045, APPLICATION TO NEW BUILDINGS, which was not previously addressed although this Chapter deals with both new and existing projects. 0 017 EA408A/ZTA 97 -2A City Council Staff Report October 21, 1997 No changes have been made to what used to be Sections 20.58.050 through 20.58.080 aside from changing all references from 20.58 to 16.42. The addition of acoustic treatment will normally add 6 - 12 % to the cost of the addition, renovation, or expansion project. The regulations provided in this Chapter pertain specifically to single family residential units. Chapter 35 of the Uniform Building Code specifies more stringent acoustical mitigation in multi- family residential construction. In response to questions raised by the Planning Commission regarding the requirement for sound insulation, the two goals and associated methodologies which follow were provided to explain the development of this Code. The validity of those goals and methodologies have been maintained in the proposed iteration of the Code. Goal: Reduce health risks, improve the quality of life of residents and prevent the degradation of housing stock within the higher LAX noise impact contours, those above 70dB. Methodology: Establish Municipal Code requirements, for single family housing stock within the 70dB CNEL noise contour, that include acoustically upgrading existing stock as it is modified and require new stock to include acoustic mitigation features. This is the same approach used by all jurisdictions to provide improved energy conservation, fire and earthquake safety features and health protection through improved Building, Electrical and Plumbing Codes. The Uniform Building Code has already established more stringent acoustic requirements for multi - family residential construction than what is recommended within these Amendments for single family construction. This methodology is also consistent with the Zoning provisions which require that any new construction meet current codes, and when old structures are voluntarily removed, they lose their non - conforming status. 2. Goal: Achieve a balance between the demand for acoustic insulation in single family residential construction and the fiscal impact on families. Methodology: The predicted 65dB CNEL contour for the Year 2000 falls close to the existing 70dB CNEL noise contour. By using the Year 2000 noise contours we are able to exempt all residents living in lesser impacted homes, essentially those in the current 65 - 70dB noise contour. Further, only significant residential modifications require acoustic insulation, including the following: A. Habitable room additions that can and would normally be separable from the rest of the house by use of a door. B. Large scale modifications such as a complete remodel of the interior of an existing structure, the addition of multiple rooms in a new wing, or a second story addition. Modifications to existing residences which exceed 75% of the value of the existing home are defined as 'large scale ". C. Any addition of greater than 500 square feet. D. New construction. E. Any modification or addition to a home that has been acoustically treated through a program funded in part or in whole by the public. As an example of how these regulations would apply, there are very few homes in El Segundo which have fire insurance policies for less than $75,000, the cost of replacement of the structure. The proposed 75% rule would mandate that someone remodeling or expanding an existing residence valued at $75,000 insulate the entire structure acoustically, if the value of that remodel or expansion is equal to or greater than $56,250 (75% of $ 75,000). A typical 698 square foot expansion costs $56,250 according to the City's Building Valuation Guide. The cost of insulating such a "large scale" improvement is approximately 6% of the total value of the construction. In the example given, typical 0 018 EA408A/ZTA 97 -2A City Council Staff Report October 21, 1997 acoustic insulation would cost approximately $3,375. The acoustic treatment typically would consist, at a minimum, of double panned windows, solid core exterior doors, and attic insulation. In nation wide surveys conducted by Wyle Laboratories Inc., and various governmental agencies, the addition of acoustic insulation has been found to increase the marketability of homes in airport noise impacted areas. The Commission questioned how acoustic improvements through the Residential Sound Insulation Program would be coordinated with any other improvements a homeowner may wish to make on their residence. Residential sound insulation is typically completed in two days for homes in the 65 dB noise contour and 5 -10 days for homes in the 70 dB contour. Homeowner projects must be done after completion of post - acoustical measurements for the Residential Sound Insulation program in order to guarantee the integrity of that specific work product. On May 22, 1997, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council approval of the revisions to the Sound Transmission Control Regulations. Several citizens have expressed some concerns to members of the Council and staff about perceived possible impacts of the Code. In response, specifically, to Mr. Yeaton's letter, attached, to the City regarding the transfer of Zoning Code 20.58 to Title 16, the Building Structures section of the Municipal Code, the following is offered: 1. Mr. Yeaton writes that he has great concern regarding staff's proposed additions to Title 16 of the El Segundo Municipal Code. The "addition" is primarily the simple movement of existing Zoning Code 20.58 provisions to Building Structures Code 16.42. As noted throughout this staff report, any "addition" to the material content of the existing Code has been provided to reduce the number of residential developers subject to the Code to a minimum by only including new home construction and major reconstruction or addition projects which fall within the most heavily noise impacted zones of the City. 2. He asserts that property values will decrease because of the Code. The Code has been in effect for the past 4 years. According to a recent article in the Daily Breeze, property values in El Segundo have climbed in excess of 9% during the past 3 years, surpassing the State's average and better than many cities in LA County. As noted earlier, the national norm as been for acoustic insulation to add to the marketability of residential properties. 3. He also alleges that the additional cost of acoustic insulation for homes subject to the City's Code will exceed 6 - 12% of the overall cost of the project. The City's requirements to insulate for sound are already required by the State for Multi- family residential structures. Therefore, there will be no additional cost any multi- family residences beyond what the State already requires. Regarding single family homes, much of what would be done to insulate single family homes against noise is already required by the State's Energy Conservation Code, Title 24. Mr. Yeaton offers no evidence that the cost of acoustic insulation will exceed 6 -12% of the overall cost of the project. The Senior Architect for the regional headquarters of Wyle Laboratories Inc., a firm nationally recognized as expert in residential sound insulation has stated to Harvey Holden, El Segundo's RSI Program Manager, that the average cost of such acoustic treatment varies from approximately 6 to 12 % across the country. The recommended construction for acoustic treatment which is presented in this City's Code is the same construction used in thousands of cities and towns impacted by airport noise because Wyle Laboratories literally "wrote the book" on acoustic insulation. The State and Federal guidelines for such insulation have been drawn from Wyle studies and analysis. 4. He also states that the building materials that are used are not standard, readily available materials. The recommended insulation materials and techniques in the City Code are purposely designed to make maximum use of readily available materials. Because the hazards of airport noise are just becoming public some materials are specialized including acoustic windows, doors and exterior chimney dampers. However, these materials are becoming much more accessible and less expensive. At least one major window manufacturer has just opened a plant in Los Angeles County in response to the RSI programs associated with LAX and Ontario. Substitute materials and techniques may be used so long as the goal of achieving a maximum of a 45db CNEL interior noise level in the habitable rooms is met. For instance, glass fireplace screens can sometimes be substituted for exterior fireplace dampers. Increasing the STC rating of windows can sometimes reduce the STC rating required for an exterior door. The contractor, if he is licensed in the State EA408A/ZTA 97 -2A City Council Staff Report October 21, 1997 of California can verify that the substitute will comply with the 45dB CNEL goal. The Acoustic windows are available at local retailers (Pacific Finish). 5. It is also stated that the design and materials limitations do not lend themselves to "quality" built homes. The design standards provided in the Code are the same design standards used by all jurisdictions surrounding LAX for acoustic insulation. In fact, those standards have been accepted by the Federal and State governments as the standards for their agencies administering residential sound insulation programs. With the exception of acoustic windows and doors, all the materials used are those most commonly used by residential contractors and do- it- yourselfers for residential construction. While the acoustic windows and doors have been somewhat more difficult to acquire in the past, the windows are now readily available, because they are produced by all major window manufacturers. An acoustic door typically takes 12 weeks to be produced, however there are now acceptable alternatives including door seal retrofits, and the use of secondary doors such as the storm doors used in the eastern and northern states. 6. Mr. Yeaton believes that if the City demands home builders follow all the Code's guidelines residents will end up living in hermetically sealed homes. In fact, all that acoustic treatment provides is an alternative residents do not have now. That is, a quiet place to retreat to. If the homeowner has typically left all the windows open during the day, the homeowner can continue to do so. But if the homeowner desires a quiet environment in which to sleep the homeowner may close up his /her acoustically treated home and sleep in peace. The ventilation system provided for in the standards will ensure plenty of fresh air while the residence is closed against the noise. 7. He also believes that we should not enforce all the Title 24 energy Code. As a municipal agency we are required by law to enforce many codes. 8. He also wants to know what happens if the additional cost is over 6 - 12 %. As currently provided, the homeowner pays the additional cost to comply with the Code. Several City Council members, including Mayor Pro Tern Wernick and Councilman Weston, have raised questions regarding the logic of continued enforcement of the Sound Transmission Control (STC) Code subsequent to El Segundo's rejection of the LAX Matching Grant Program and its Zoning Code requirements. The information below is offered in an effort to keep the City Council fully informed regarding the City's STC Code. What is the STC Code? The Sound Transmission Code is the only codified protection we currently have in place to protect the most heavily impacted of our residents from airport noise. It has been in effect for four years. 2. Does the Code protect the people? The Code is considered to be a reasonable implementation of the General Plan's policy to "incorporate noise reduction measures into existing residential development where interior noise levels exceed acceptable standards." 3. Will termination of the Code support the City's highly publicized political position with respect to the proposed expansion of LAX? The City is the standard bearer for the region's opposition to unrestrained growth at LAX. Eliminating our Sound Transmission Code at this time may send a mixed message to our colleagues. 4. What is the FAA's position with respect to our Sound Transmission Code and the FAA's future funding of the City's Residential Sound Insulation Program? In its letter of 16 September 1997, authorizing the City to solicit bids for the work involved in Phase 5 of the City's RSI program, the FAA advises, "Please be aware that the FAA has a new policy to be effective January 1, 1998 that would affect future AIP noise implementation program funding." In essence. the FAA will not fund RSI for a home construction or home improvement. developed in the airport's noise img2act area, subsequent to January 1. 1998, 5. Is the City treating people In the high noise impact area differently than It treats other citizens of the City? Yes, just as we treat people subject to the emissions and activities of the Hyperion Water Treatment Plant differently. The City has expended great effort in minimizing the impact of the 0 020 EA408A/ZTA 97 -2A City Council Staff Report October 21, 1997 Hyperion development on its El Segundo neighbors. Similar efforts have been made on behalf of the residents adjacent to industrial activity such as Chevron and Smoky Hollow. The City has also provided a response to support people who live in low lying areas to minimize flood damage to their property. Each section of our residential community has its own set of challenges and therefore receives responses from City Hall that are appropriate, and unique, to those challenges. Each of these individualized responses from City government has been accompanied by some cost in time, money, and/or effort, from the impacted residents. 6. Does the Code protect City housing stock value? The front page story from the 14 September edition of the Daily Breeze would seem to indicate that the Code has apparently not harmed the housing stock value. El Segundo's housing stock has jumped over 9% in value during the past year. 7. Who opposes the Code? Staff has neither spoken to, nor read any correspondence from, anyone who actually lives in the area subject to the Code who opposes it. It should be noted that Mr. Yeaton and the nine signatories of the letter of 4 April 1994 (Attachment 3), which has been recirculated, all live outside the area subject to the Code. 3. Parking Demand Study Definition - Create a new definition for Parking Demand Studies. (ZTA). During the aforementioned discussions on the first seven Second Quarter Amendments (EA -408), which included discussions on the requirements for Parking Demand Studies, the City Council directed staff to include a definition of Parking Demand Studies within the Code. After consulting with the City Attorney, staff determined that it would not be necessary to take this new definition back to the Planning Commission for review, as the previous Planning Commission discussions on Parking Demand Studies were very broad and lengthy, and the new definition would not be out of the scope or context of those previous Planning Commission discussions and recommendations. Staff would recommend that the City Council adopt a new definition of Parking Demand Studies for inclusion in the Zoning Code as shown below and in Exhibit 3. 20.08.832 - PARKING DEMAND STUDY "Parking Demand Study" means an analysis of the total number, of parking spaces required in order to accommodate the maximum number of vehicles for parking purposes by a particular -use or site at any given time. The analysis shall consider parking required for all employees, occupants, clients, and visitors. An Initial Study /Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is required to evaluate the potential impacts which may be caused by the proposed regulations. Since a Negative Declaration requires a minimum 20 -day public notice and circulation period, based on the direction and recommendations from the Planning Commission on the General Plan and Zone Text Amendments and the Zone Map changes for EA -408 which included a review of the three topics Continued until tonight, the City proceeded with the required environmental review process for the proposed Amendments, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City Council Resolution No. 3805, after the Planning Commission adopted the Resolution with their recommendations. The draft Initial Study / Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for EA -408 was circulated for the 20 day public and agency review period from July 17th to August 4th, 1997, and no comments were received on the document. The Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts, which indicates there will be no environmental impacts associated with the three items which make up the Continued second quarter Zone Text Amendments, (EA- 408A), was adopted with Ordinance No. 1279 on October 7, 1997, as part of the first seven General Plan Amendment, Zone Text Amendment, and Zone Change of EA -408. zc•tectt.DN p:\zoning \ea- 408a \ea408a.ais 0 021 EA- 408A//ZTA 97 -2A DRAFT AMENDMENTS - OCTOBER 21, 1997 PARKING COVENANT - EXHIBIT 1 Page 2 of 2 PAzoning \ea- 408A \covenant.pk 1 0 023 • - - - • _._ .. -- .. .• ._ PAzoning \ea- 408A \covenant.pk 1 0 023 EA- 40SA/ZTA 97 -2A Page 1 of 17 DRAFT AMENDMENTS - OCTOBER 21, 1997 SOUND TRANSMISSION CONTROL - EXHIBIT 2 Chapter 16.42 SOUND TRANSMISSION CONTROL Sections: 16.42.010 PURPOSE.

Second reading and adoption of an Ordinance of the City Council repealing sectiion of Chapter 2.09, Regulations of Campaign Contributions, from the municipal code, and replacing sections of Chapter 2.09 with an Ordinance establishing a Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling ("VEC") in light of recent State regulations (Proposition 208). RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Discussion. 2. Read the Ordinance by title only. 3. By motion adopt Ordinance. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: Proposition 208 was passed by the voters at the November 5, 1996 election and became effective January 1, 1997. The measure imposes new contribution limits and extensively amends the California Political Reform Act's provisions regarding political campaign finance and disclosure. Currently Chapter 2.09 addresses the reporting and enforcement guidelines. To eliminate contradiction and confusion, I am suggesting Council delete Chapter 2..09 from the municipal code. Effectively all section of the Chapter are covered by the New Act. The gray area seems to concern section (e) "Total anonymous contributions to a candidate or committee which exceed in the aggregate One Thousand and no /100ths ($1,000) dollars with respect to a single election shall not be used by the candidate or the committee of the candidate for whom they were intended." The record keeping and reporting on this, to the Clerk's office, precludes the Clerks' office from enforcing this, and there is no accurate way to report total anonymous donations. Since this Item is not addressed in the New Act there is some dispute. I suggest deleting the chapter entirely. The Act permits local agencies to establish a Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling "VEC ". The ACT provides that the City Council may establish a "VEC" for candidates and their controlled committees not to exceed one dollar per resident (15,' 223*). The limit can be set at lower levels by the governing body or higher levels by a vote of the electorate. (Attached for your convenience is a graph of the average amount spent during the past three Council elections). However, the City Attorney advises that there are limitations on how low the level can be set. Contributions from persons (including a candidate's spouse) in local elections are limited based upon the jurisdiction's population and whether the candidate agrees to the "VEC ". If a candidate agrees to be bound by the "VEC ", the contribution the candidate can receive from any individual donor or small contribution committee more than doubles. Candidates agreeing to the "VEC" are also required to be prominently identified in the ballot pamphlet as having agreed to the "VEC ". Specifically, if the candidate has not agreed to the "VEC ", persons ( individuals, business entities and certain committees) may contribute $100 per candidate per election. If the candidate files a statement agreeing to the Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling (FPPC Form 500) and the Council had adopted a "VEC ", persons may only contribute $250 per candidate per election. In races where some candidates agree to be bound by the "VEC" and others do not, the Act attempts to equalize the playing field. For example, where a candidate not agreeing to the "VEC" receives contributions, has cash on hand or makes qualified expenditures equal to 75% or more of the "VEC ", the "VEC" for those candidates who have agreed to those voluntary limits would be tripled.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA REPEALING SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 2.09 OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO REGULATION OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS AND ADOPTING SECTIONS REGARDING A VOLUNTARY EXPENDITURE CEILING FOR ALL MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Chapter 2.09 of the E1 Segundo Municipal Code amended to read as follows: "Chapter 2.09 REGULATION OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS 2.09.010 CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS: LIMITATIONS: DISCLOSURES. (a) Contribution Defined. For the purposes of this section, "contribution" shall mean a payment, loans and extensions of credit (other than those made by financial institutions), a payment of a loan from a financial institution by a third party, or an enforceable promise to make a payment, except to the extent that full and adequate consideration is received, unless it is clear from the surrounding circumstances that it is not made for political purposes. An expenditure made at the behest of a candidate, committee, or elected officer is a contribution to the candidate, committee, or elected officer, unless full and adequate consideration is received for making the expenditure. The term "contribution" shall include the purchase of tickets for events such as dinners, luncheons, rallies, and similar fund- raising events; the granting of discounts or rebates not extended to the public generally or the granting of discounts or rebates by television and radio stations and newspapers not extended on an equal basis to all candidates for the same office; and the payment of compensation by any person for the personal services or expenses of any other person if such services are rendered or expenses incurred on behalf of a candidate or committee without the payment of full and adequate consideration. The term "contribution" shall further include any transfer of anything of value received by a committee from another committee. The term "contribution" shall not include amounts received pursuant to an enforceable promise to the extent such amounts have been previously reported as contribution. However, the fact that such amounts have been received shall be indicated in the appropriate campaign statement. IAX2:189521.1 0 046 Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of "contribution," the term shall not include volunteer personal services or payments made by any individual for his own travel expenses if such payments are made voluntarily without any understanding or agreement that they shall be directly or indirectly repaid to him. (b) Person defined. For the purpose of this section, "person" shall mean an individual, proprietorship, firm, partnership, joint venture, syndicate, business trust, company, corporation, association, or committee. (c) Anonymous contributions by individuals. No person shall make, and no candidate or committee shall solicit or accept, any anonymous contribution which will cause the total amount of anonymous contributions by such person with respect to a single election to be One Hundred and no /100ths Dollars ($100.00) or more. A list of all amounts, names and addresses of anonymous contributors must be maintained and be available for review by the city treasurer within twenty -four (24) hours after said request is made. Any anonymous contribution of One Hundred and no /100ths Dollars ($100.00) or more shall not be kept by the intended recipient. Instead after receipt of notice by certified mail or personal delivery to the candidate and contributor sent by the city clerk or his designee, within three days from such notice of violation of this section any amount in excess of this limit shall be promptly paid to the treasurer of the city for deposit in the General Fund of the city to be used for the purpose of defraying the costs of election borne by the city and shall not be used to benefit any candidate or committee. (d) Anonymous contributions. Total anonymous contributions to a candidate or committee which exceed in the aggregate One Thousand and no /100ths ($1,000.00) Dollars with respect to a single election shall not be used by the candidate or the committee of the candidate for whom they were intended. After receipt or notice by certified mail or personal delivery to the candidate and contributor sent by the city clerk or his designee, within three days from such notice of violation of this section total anonymous contributions exceeding One Thousand and no /100ths ($1,000.00) dollars shall be placed in the General Fund of the city, and shall be earmarked and used for the purpose of defraying the costs of elections borne by the city and shall not be used to benefit any candidate or committee. 2.09.020 ESTABLISHMENT OF VOLUNTARY EXPENDITURE LIMITS (a) On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State of California adopted Proposition 208. Proposition 208 expressly IAX2:189521.1 -2- authorizes local jurisdictions to establish Voluntary Expenditure Ceilings for candidates and controlled committees of such candidates for elective office not to exceed one dollar ($.50) per resident for each election in the jurisdiction in which the candidate is seeking elective office. Based upon the 1990 federal census data, the resident population of E1 Segundo is 15,223. (b) It is in the best interests of the City of E1 Segundo to establish a Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling for all municipal elections held in the City, in that such a ceiling could minimize the potentially corrupting influence and appearance of corruption caused by excessive contributions and expenditures in campaigns by providing a reasonable spending limit for candidates. (c) A Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling may also allow candidates and officeholders to spend a lesser proportion of their time on fundraising and a greater proportion of time communicating issues of importance to voters and constituents. (d) Pursuant to California Government Code section 85400, the Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling for each municipal election held in the City shall be $.50 and shall apply both to candidates and controlled committees of such candidates running for office." 2.0 9.0 3 0 ENFORCEMENT AITI HOR I TY . For the purpose of this chapter, "enforcement authority" shall mean the District Attorney of the County and /or the Attorney General of the State for all civil and criminal enforcement. 2.09.040 PENALTIES. All penalties prescribed by the Political Reform Act of 1974 shall apply to the provisions of this chapter and shall be mandatory . . 2.09.050 RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. The provisions of this chapter shall be construed liberally in order to accomplish the purposes of this chapter.

Sandra Jacobs, Mayor of the City of El Segundo, California ATTEST: Cindy.Mortesen, City er DAL) APPROVED AS TO FORM: Mark Hensley, City Attorney IAX2:189521.1 -4- PROPOSITION 208 Fact Sheet For: City, County and Special District Officeholders & Candidates On November 5, 1996, Proposition 208, the California Political Reform Act of 1996, was passed by the voters. The provisions of Proposition 208 amend the Political Reform Act of 1974. The new provisions became effective January 1, 1997. Under Proposition 208, the amount of contributions individuals, corporations, unions. PACs, organizations and other entities may contribute to candidates seeking election in local jurisdictions is limited. In addition, Proposition 208 also provides for voluntary spending limits at the local level if the local jurisdiction provides for them. This fact sheet is being provided for informational purposes only, and is not intended to provide legal interpretation of the provisions contained in Proposition 208. The Commission's Legal Division is in the process of developing emergency regulations and responding to requests for written advice concerning the provisions of Proposition 208. These emergency regulations and advice letters may be accessed on the Commission's website http: / /www.fppc.ca.gov /fppc/ or may be ordered toll -free via fax on demand by calling 1 -888- 622 -1151. Many of the provisions of Proposition 208 are currently being challenged in the U.S. District Court,- Eastern- District ofcaffmma. Ban on Off -Year Fundraising: Candidates seeking election in local jurisdictions are prohibited from accepting contributions for a period of time before any primary or special primary election or, in the event there is no primary or special primary election, any regular election or special election in which the candidate is attempting to be on the ballot or is a write -in candidate. In districts of fewer than 1,000,000 residents, candidates may not accept contributions prior to 6 months before their election. -- In districts with 1,000,000 or more residents, candidates may not accept contributions prior to 12 months before their election. Example: A district with fewer than 1,000,000 residents is holding an election on November 4, 1997. Effective January 1, 1997, all candidates seeking election, including officeholders seeking re- election, may not accept a campaign contribution (including the candidate /officeholder's personal funds), until May 4, 1997. Prepared by: Fair Poliucal Practices commission 428 J Sam Sacramento, CA 95814 -1- 2197 1) X50 A committee with debt from pre -1997 elections may continue to collect contributions to retire the debt. The funds must be collected subject to the contribution limits of Proposition 208, applied separately to each election. The funds do not count against the contribution limits for post - January 1, 1997, elections. A committee's campaign bank account may not be redesignated for a future election if the committee has any outstanding debts. SELECTED PROVISIONS OF PROPOSITION 208 RELATIVE TO YOUR NEXT ELECTION Contributions Raised Prior to January, 1997: Contributions raised prior to January 1, 1997 may be transferred to a future election account after January 1, 1997, and are not subject to the limits contained in Proposition 208. The candidate and committee receiving the transfer must have a Candidate Intention Form 501 and a Campaign Bank Account Form 502 on file designating an election date. If a candidate opened such an account prior to January 1. 1997, he /she is not required to open a new bank account. Contribution Limits (Per Election): — Local races in districts with 100,000 or more residents: individuals, business entities, unions, organizations, PACs. et al: $250 Small contributor committees: $500 — Local races in districts with fewer than 100,000 residents: individuals, business entities, unions, organizations, PACs, et a]: $100 Small contributor committees: $200 There are provisions in Proposition 208 that will increase the contribution limits, for example, if a local jurisdiction provides for voluntary spending limits. The contribution limits do not apply to the candidate's personal funds used to support his/her own election. However, limits apply to contributions from a spouse. A candidate's personal funds that he /she loans to the committee may not exceed $20,000 at any one time. All loans or extension of credit for more than 30 days to a candidate by other persons are treated as contributions and subject to the applicable limits. This does not apply to loans from a bank or financial institution made in the normal course of business. Transfer Ban: Proposition 208 prohibits the transfer of contributions received by one officeholder or candidate to any other officeholder or candidate for elective office. Candidates may use personal funds within the limits to make contributions to other candidates/officeholders. Members of Public Boards and Commissions: Individuals who are appointed members of public boards or commissions may not make contributions to, accept contributions for, or solicit contributions on behalf of, the person who made the appointment. Bundling of Contributions: Contributions made directly or indirectly to a candidate through an intermediary are treated as contributions from the contributor and the intermediary for purposes of the contribution limit, unless the intermediary is the candidate or candidate's eligible representative, or a volunteer hosting a fundraiser away from his/her place of business. FPPC FACT SHEET 2/97 -3- 916/322 -5660 0 C, 51 5. MAY CITIES AND COUNTIES IMPOSE THEIR OWN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS? Cities and counties may establish or maintain in effect contribution limits which are "as or more stringent" than those established by Proposition 208. However, a local jurisdiction may enforce contribution or voluntary expenditure limits that are higher than those set by Proposition 208 only by a vote of the people. 6. WHAT ARE THE VOLUNTARY EXPENDITURE LIMITS IMPOSED BY PROPOSITION 208? Proposition 208 creates a set of voluntary expenditure ceilings in an attempt to regulate the amount of money spent on political campaigns. The measure also includes incentives to encourage candidates to accept the limits. a. Ceiling: Proposition 208 does not require that voluntary limits be in place in local jurisdictions, but rather permits each city and county to establish voluntary expenditure ceilings in any amount of one dollar ($1) or less per resident for each election in the jurisdiction. b. Incentives: If the city or county adopts a voluntary expenditure ceiling, candidates must file a statement of acceptance or rejection of the ceiling before accepting any contributions. If the candidate accepts the expenditure limitations, the per person contribution limit described in question 1, above, is increased to $250 per election in jurisdictions with fewer than 100,000 residents and to $500 per election in jurisdictions with 100,000 or more residents. It is not entirely clear how this provision will affect March, 1997 local elections, since some candidates will already have accepted contributions prior to the time the expenditure ceiling, if any, takes effect. Once a candidate who does not accept the expenditure ceiling raises or spends 75% of the recommended expenditure ceiling for that office, the voluntary expenditure ceiling for other candidates in the same race will automatically triple. If an independent expenditure committee or committees in the aggregate spend 50% or more of the applicable expenditure ceiling in support of or in opposition to any candidate, the other candidates' voluntary expenditure ceiling automatically triples. If an independent expenditure committee or committees in the aggregate spend 25% or more of the applicable expenditure ceiling in support of or in opposition to any candidate, the other candidates' voluntary expenditure ceiling automatically doubles. Proposition 208 also requires that local elections officials designate on the ballot, in the ballot pamphlet, and in the sample ballot, which candidates have accepted the voluntary expenditure ceilings. The Fair Political Practices Commission ( "FPPC ") will issue a regulation regarding the manner of designation but that regulation may not take effect prior to the ballot printing deadline for March 1997 elections. 00=5 -3- 0 052 'at&= Chapter 2.09 REGULATION OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS Sections: 2.09.010 CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS: LIMITATIONS: DISCLOSURES. 2.09.020 ESTABLISHMENT 'OF VOLUNTARY EXPENDITURE LIMITS 2.09.030 SUPPLIER GF 99DS AND SERV4GES.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Adopt resolution. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The City Council has adopted a master resolution related to traffic and parking controls which establishes certain parking restrictions, truck routes, stop sign controls, railroad grade crossings and one -way streets and alleys. Historically, this resolution has been re- adopted in its entirety if any existing traffic related control is modified or new controls are to be implemented. The most current of these resolutions is Resolution No. 4002 adopted by the City Council on March 4, 1997. DISCUSSION: The City Traffic Committee, comprised of the Public Works and Police Departments, received a request from an area resident for installation of stop signs for northbound and southbound Virginia Street traffic at Walnut Avenue. Currently Walnut Avenue has stop signs in both the eastbound and westbound directions. continued on next page....... ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1. Resolution for adoption. 2. Location map. FISCAL IMPACT: None. Operating Budget: Capital Improvement Budget: Amount Requested: Project/Account Budget: Project/Account Balance: Date: Account Number. Project Phase: Appropriation Required: Page 1 of 2 o r.� PW- OCT21.02 (Friday 10/10/97 10:00 am) DISCUSSION: (continued) The resident has requested these stop signs because of the resident's concern that existing poor visibility from eastbound Walnut Avenue in the southerly direction makes it difficult for the resident to cross the intersection. Staff performed an analysis based upon Caltrans Warrant Study requirements to justify four -way stop signs. The Virginia Street \Walnut Avenue intersection did not justify installation of four -way stop signs solely based on this analysis due to existing low traffic volumes and absence of accidents at the intersection during the past three (3) years. The Traffic Committee also reviewed the intersection for the reported visibility problem. Walnut Avenue west of the intersection and Virginia Street south of the intersection have fairly steep uphill grades on their approaches to the intersection. When an eastbound Walnut Avenue driver stops at the existing stop sign the driver has to look south to determine if Virginia Street is clear in the northbound direction, since Virginia Street currently does not have stop signs. Because of the prevailing uphill grades the vehicle has to enter the intersection to make this determination. The problem is aggravated when vehicles are parked on the west side of Virginia Street immediately south of the intersection further obstructing of the line of sight. Removal of three (3) residential parking stalls in this area may improve the situation however, the Traffic Committee does not recommend elimination of existing residential parking stalls. Installation of stop signs for northbound and southbound Virginia Street traffic will mitigate the existing situation and improve the safety of this particular intersection. Even though the intersection does not warrant four -way stop signs based solely on the Caltrans Warrant Study, the Traffic Committee feels that the unique conditions at the Walnut Avenue/Virginia Street intersection warrant additional consideration and mitigation. The Traffic Committee recommends City Council approval to install four -way stop signs at the Walnut Avenue \Virginia Street intersection. As previously indicated, historically the City has authorized these types of changes by modifying the previous resolution and adopting it in its entirety. The attached resolution continues this practice. The only change to the previously approved resolution is located at the bottom of page 16 of the attached resolution.

Project No. PW 97 -19 (estimated cost = $55,000.00). RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Adopt plans and specifications. 2. Authorize staff to advertise project for receipt of construction bids. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The adopted Fiscal Year 1997 -98 Capital Improvement Program includes a project to rehabilitate the City's sanitary sewer mains. The nature and location of existing deficiencies are established by means of closed circuit television inspection and review of the videotapes by Public Works Department staff. DISCUSSION: There is an existing 12" diameter sewer main west of Main Street between Maple and Oak Avenues. This sewer main is within an existing 15' wide easement over private properties and discharges into Sewer Pump Station No. 12 located on the northside of Oak Avenue, west of Main Street. The television reports and field problems encountered by the Public Works Department staff has indicated several sewer main pipe joint failures that need to be corrected. Staff is recommending a trenchless rehabilitation method which involves installation of a lining material inside the existing sewer main rather than the more conventional method of accessing the damaged main by excavating within private property and in close proximity of residential buildings. All work to install the lining material will be done from the public right -of -way. The total estimated cost of the project including staff costs for design and inspection, and construction contingencies, is $55,000.00. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Location map.

Applicant and Appellant: Mr. Allen Cheng [Leader Mutual Freight Systems Inc.). Property Owners: Dierk Hagemann. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On October 7, 1997, the City Council considered the appeal by the applicant, of the Planning Commission's decision to uphold the determination of the Director of Planning and Building Safety that the proposed use requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

On July 1, 1997, the applicant submitted a businesses license application to allow a business described as "warehouse and distribution" to be located in a 12,000 square foot building at 120 Standard Street in the Small Business (SB) Zone. 2. The proposed business began operations at 120 Standard Street prior to receiving approval of a business license to conduct business in the City. 3. At the request of Planning Division staff, the applicant submitted a Supplemental Information Form on July 15, 1997, and three subsequent letters, dated August 12, 18, and 27, 1997, which described the business operations in greater detail than provided on the Business License Application. 0 108 4. The Department of Planning and Building Safety received a number of complaints related to the trucking activities of the proposed business. 5. An inspection of the property by staff of the Department of Planning and Building Safety on July 30, 1997, confirmed that the business had begun operations without receipt of the appropriate City approvals; and, that construction work to build a retaining wall and concrete pad behind the rear of the building had begun without the issuance of a Building Permit. 6.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 1997 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Approve a contract with Hannah Brondial Bowen, an independent professional planner, to provide full -time interim Planning staff support services for the Planning Division of the Planning and Building Safety Department, authorize budget transfers within the Planning and Building Safety Department, and approve waiver of formal bidding. (Fiscal Impact: Approximately $90,000 annually) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the attached one year Professional Services contract, budget transfers, and waiver of formal bidding and authorize the Mayor to execute a contract with Hannah Brondial Bowen. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: Section 3 of the FY 97 -98 Budget Resolution states: "The City Manager may authorize those budgetary transfers of funds within a department necessary to provide service levels consistent with the intent of the Council adopted budget within categories while continuing to notify Council of all such transfers.

Bepflard, A CP, irector of Planning and Building Safety R n. C ACTION TAKEN: Date: �Q =107 agendas\hbbcntrct.app 0 1.1.1 DISCUSSION (Continued) Page 2 Beginning in April 1997, and continuing through the present, the Planning Division has experienced significant and repeated, unplanned and unscheduled Planning staff shortages. Of the three non - management, professional, full - time Planner positions (two Assistant Planners and one Planning Technician), two Planners (one Assistant Planner and one Planning Technician) have been at work for a total combined period of approximately three months (from April 1997 to the present) of these seven months. Although both planners were originally scheduled to return in July 1997, their return dates have been extended several times. These planners are currently still out and it is uncertain when they will return. These long -term, unplanned staff absences necessitated, and continue to necessitate, the use of temporary full -time Planning assistance to assure that our numerous planning applications, as well as City Council initiated General Plan Amendments, Zone Text Amendments and Zone Changes, telephone, and public counter information requests, etc., continue to be processed as expeditiously and correctly as possible. Additionally, during this same time frame, Department staffing has been affected by one Building Inspector being transferred to Finance, the Department Administrative Secretary being transferred to the Library, and one Building Safety Permit Specialist's permanent departure. Only the Department's Administrative Secretary position has been filled with a temporary position. Furthermore, the full -time Planning Division Office Specialist II has been temporarily assigned to assist in the Building Safety Division due to the departure of the Building Safety Permit Specialist. In May of 1997, after receiving authorization from the City Manager, Planning staff contacted several Planning consulting firms and requested proposals to provide professional Planning staff support services. Of the seven firms contacted, six submitted proposals for services. One firm was unable to respond in the short time that staff requested (Chambers Group, Inc.) and another firm (W illdan) was recently interviewed and under contract with the City to provide similar services, and it was not necessary to request a new proposal. The following table identifies each firm, its hourly rate, and years of experience. Firm Hourly Rate Years of Experience Hannah Brondial Bowen $42.50 6 years DMI (Duca- McCoy, Inc.) $125.00 13 years Hogle- Ireland, Inc. $62.00 14 years Willdan $60.00 30 years Planning & Environmental Services $50.00 8 years The Planning Resource $35.00 18 years Chambers Group, Inc. Did not submit 20 years Planning staff conducted personal interviews with Hannah Brondial Bowen, Planning and Environmental Services, and Hogle- Ireland, Inc. Staff also interviewed The Planning Resource via the telephone and, based on that interview, elected not to schedule a personal appointment. Although the hourly rates of The Planning Resource were slightly lower than the other firms interviewed, the Principal of the single person firm indicated that he was involved in other projects and may not have the time to dedicate to the City or the flexibility desired. The three firms with which staff did conduct personal interviews all demonstrated adequate capability and experience to provide the required Planning staff support services. Hannah Brondial Bowen has had very recent experience providing similar contract Planning services to another small Southern California coastal city. Ms. Bowen's references were contacted, which included several Southern California municipalities, and all of the references contacted indicated that they were satisfied with services provided relative to the types of Planning support services that the City of El Segundo desires. Ms. Bowen has been providing valuable and efficient full -time Planning staff support services to the Planning Division since May 1997. Planning staff has been very satisfied with the services provided, and Ms. Bowen has committed to assist the Planning Division as long as necessary. 0 112 DISCUSSION (Continued) Page 3 Thus, staff recommends Hannah Brondial Bowen's selection based upon her proven track record, responsiveness to the City's specific needs, and exhibited professionalism. Additionally, staff believes that providing continuity in services during this critical time of multiple staff shortages is important to the Department, as well as our customers. Planning staff believes that Ms. Bowen is the most qualified and reasonably priced of the six representative firms. Although one other firm offered lower hourly rates, as previously discussed, they could not commit to dedicating the time or flexibility necessary to provide the desired staff support. The rates quoted by Hannah Brondial Bowen are less than previously paid to the City's former consultant, Willdan Associates. As a point of reference, the City Attorney confirmed that professional service contracts need not necessarily be awarded to the lowest bidder. Bidder qualifications may take priority. The attached Agreement for Professional Services contains two minor revisions to the standard agreement which staff would bring to the Council's attention. Sections 15 A. (1) (c) and (d) and (2) (c) and (d) - Insurance and Workers Compensation and Employees Liability Insurance (Pages 9 and 10) have been deleted. Section (c) requires Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance and Section (d) requires $1,000,000 Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance. After discussing these requirements with the Assistant City Attorney, staff and the Assistant City Attorney believe that it is not necessary to provide Workers Compensation and Errors and Omissions Insurance for this contract. As a self - employed single person firm, Hannah Brondial Bowen is exempt from providing Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance. Additionally, it should be pointed out that Section 15 (B) (3) - Worker's Compensation and Employers Liability Coverage is still required by the agreement. All of the work provided by the contract planner is reviewed thoroughly and approved by the Senior Planner and the Director of Planning and Building Safety and considering the types of applications processed and consulting with the City Attorney, staff believes that Errors and Omissions Insurance is not necessary. The three consultants with the lowest hourly rates do not provide Errors and Omissions Insurance. The other consultants (minimum $60 per hour, $22.50 per hour more than Hannah Brondial Bowen) do provide this insurance. Staff has found that consultants which do provide Errors and Omissions Insurance generally cost $20 per hour more than consultants who do not, as the cost of insurance (particularly for a small firm) is very expensive. Ms. Bowen has indicated that her rates would increase between $59.00 - $61.25 per hour if Errors and Omissions Insurance is required. This would increase the contract amount between $113,280 - $117,600 annually. Hannah Brondial Bowen does provide all other required insurance. With the continued absences of two Planners, the Planning Division will require the continuation of interim Planning staff. To accomplish this, the adopted budget requires that funds be transferred to the appropriate account codes for this fiscal year. The consultant's contract can be funded through budget savings from the Assistant Planner and Planning Technician positions, and potentially other Department salary and benefit savings. Staff requests authorization from the Council to transfer funds from the Department's salaries and benefits, not to exceed $90,000, as needed to provide the required Planning services. Money will be transferred from line items within the Department salaries and benefits, on an as- needed basis. Exhibit A, the contractual agreement is also submitted for approval. This contract provides for an experienced contract Planner 40 hours per week (or as needed) at $42.50 per hour. A waiver of formal bidding would allow the continuity of services currently provided by Hannah B. Bowen. Staff believes it would be in the best interest of the Department, and the City to not delay the processing of the contract by going out to bid, particularly in light of the uncertainty of future Planning staff availability. Additionally, the RFP process is traditionally used by the City for soliciting proposals for professional services, so this process is consistent with past and current City practice. Staff recommends approval of a) the budget transfers, b) the interim professional services contract, and c) a waiver of formal bidding, given the recent proposals which verify that the contract is competitive with professional Planning services available in this area. 0 113 AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 1st day of July, 1997, between the CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as "City" and Hannah Brondial Bowen hereinafter referred to as "Consultant ".

The sign would be located on the North side of their building at 2320 East Imperial Boulevard, and would be in place for the first two weeks in November. Applicant: DIRECTV. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Approve DIRECTV's request for a temporary banner. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On October 9, 1997, DIRECTV submitted a letter to the City (attached) requesting approval of an 60'x 80' (6,400 square feet) temporary sign. The sign would read "3 million subscribers in 3 years! Thanks, America!" The banner will not be illuminated. It is anticipated that it will have a blue background with white lettering. 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, two weeks in November, staff believes that it is consistent with the intent and purpose of the sign Code. Additionally, the sign will require Building Safety permits to ensure that it is safely constructed and attached to the building strength, safety, stress, and wind load analysis will be required to ensure the safety and structure integrity of the installation of the sign. Standard indemnification and liability insurance will also be required. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Request letter from DIRECTV, dated October 9, 1997.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Record and file. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: At its meeting of 7 October 1997, during Public Communications the City Council heard from Mr. Frank Wong regarding the possible hazards of using fiber glass wool as an insulating material in residential construction. An informal study was conducted by the Planning and Building Safety staff to determine the degree of hazard represented by this relatively common construction material. The Federal and State governments requires that manufactures of materials that could pose a hazard to members of the public label all such materials with a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Owens Corning and Schuller International are two of the country's largest manufacturers of fiber glass wool insulation. The summary of the potential health effects of fiber glass wool contained on a typical MSDS label provides the following information: Breathing dust from this product may cause a scratchy throat, congestion, and slight coughing. Getting dust or fibers on the skin, or in the eyes may cause itching, rash, or redness. Breathing large amounts of dust or fibers from this product may lead to chronic health effects... (Background and Discussion continued on next page.) ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1. Typical warning label on fiber glass wool insulation products. 2. Table of insulation materials and their characteristics. 3. Table of the R- values of the most common insulating materials. FISCAL M AC : NA (Check one) Operating Budget: n.a. Capital Improv.

Holden and Ron arville, Planni and Building Safety Staff REVIEWED BY: Date: 8 October 1997 Bret B. ernar , Direct r of Planning and Building Safety /6 — /�` 7 on, City Manager 'iberc:a. 13, F (Background and Discussion continued.) The health effects of fiber glass wool are described in the MSDS as follows: Acute Effects: The fibers from this product are mechanical irritants and may cause transitory irritation to exposed areas such as eyes, skin, and upper respiratory passages. Chronic Effects: In 1993, the results of a morbidity study that looked at the respiratory health of fiberglass manufacturing workers, which included building insulation fiber glass workers, were published. When comparing the health of these workers to members of the local communities, the researchers reported, "These results indicate no adverse clinical, functional or radiographic signs of effects of exposure to MMMFs (building insulation fiber glass is an MMMF) in these workers." and "The results of this investigation are consistent with previously reported cross - sectional studies that have failed to find persuasive evidence of respiratory effects of manufacture of MMMF." It is important to note that fiber glass wool has not been classified a carcinogen by agencies of the Federal government including the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or the National Toxicology Program (NTP). California, under Proposition 65, requires that fiber glass wool products be labeled with the following warning, "Substances known to the state to cause cancer: glasswoll fibers (airborne particles of respirable size)." The product is not regulated by the Federal EPA as a hazardous waste material. Fiber glass wool is approved by the National Uniform Building Code as a fire insulator because the material melts rather than supporting the spread of fire. A table comparing the various kinds of insulation available and their characteristics is attached. In the time available, staff has been unable to acquire warning labels for each of the many kinds of insulating materials listed in the table. Information, supplemental to the table of material characteristics follows: Fiber Glass The major providers of construction materials to the public stock fiber glass wool batting as the Batts primary insulation material for residential buildings. Styrene & Expensive, burn, and may release harmful gasses. Foam Panels Mineral Wool Could not find a retailer of this material. Retailers /installers reported it to be more irritating to Products skin and eyes than fiber glass. Considered obsolete. Cellulose Many retailers do not carry cellulose fiber loose fill because the material should be professionally installed. Dustiest of all insulation materials. Cellulose insulation should carry a lable that warns, "As with any fibrous spray or blowing product, use of this product requires a suitable respirator or dust mask be worn." Cellulose does not dry as readily as other insulation materials if wet. Vermiculite Obsolete as residential building insulator. Reflective No data on noise insulation qualities.

If you're upgrading your existing insulation or building an addition, one choice you'll have to make is what kind of insulation to use. N1 hat Material to I'se and %N here to I`se it This guide will help you to choose the right insulation for your needs. When determining the effectiveness of insulation, don't simply refer to its thickness. Different materials have different heat resistance. This ability to resist heat transfer is called the RSI -value (metric) or R -value (imperial measure). Depending on the product and where you buy it, you might encounter either the metric or imperial measures. On this chart, we'll show both the RSI -value and R -value per inch of thickness for each kind of insulation. (RSI -0.18 equals approximately R -1). Note that the values indicated are for uncompressed insulation. Because insulation works by trapping tiny pockets of still air, its value is greatly reduced when it is Approximate compressed. Properly installed insulation should not be compressed. Cost for R -30 /sq.ft. NI V1 * I-,' R 1. k 1, RSI- V. %1.

Those that do not conduct it well are called insulators. R -Value is the term used to indicate a material's resistance to heat flow or ability to insulate. Index The higher the R- Value, the better the insulator. Most insulation materials work by trapping pockets of air, which is an excellent insulator. Fiberglass does this by creating air pockets between spun glass fibers, and foam insulation contains air bubbles. Similarly, double pane windows work by trapping air between the panes. FA QS Among insulating materials, R- Values can vary widely. This is the reason it is important to purchase insulation by the R -Value and not by the inch. R- Values of different materials can be compared while thickness cannot. For instance, two materials rated R -11 have precisely the same insulating ability while two inches of each may not. Take fiberglass and brick as an example. To achieve R -30 with fiberglass batts requires 8.5 inches, while it would take 60 inches of brick! This chart shows how many inches of a certain type of insulation it takes to achieve a specified R- Value. Vermiculite ......... Cellulose ........... Glass Fiber Batts ... . Rock Wool Batts.... Polystyrene........ . Urethane Foam..... . R I inch 13.1-3. In the following chart you'll see that R -30 requires 14.5 inches of vermiculite, nearly 8.5 inches of fiberglass batt or only 5 inches of urethane foam. Such comparisons are helpful in selecting insulation types because the type you can use may be limited by the space available. 0 141 Insulation Page 2 R•Values 11 13 19 22 Loose F OI 3.5 4.0" 7.0" 7.0" 8.5 Fiberglass 5.0" 5.5" 8.5" 8.5" 13.0" Rock Wood 3.5" 4.0" 6.0" 6.0" 9.0" Cellulose 3.0" 3.5" 5.5" 5.5" 8.5" Vermiculite 5.0" 6.0" 10.5 "10.5" 14.5 Fiberglass 3.5"" .0" 7.0" 7.0" ' 8.5 Rock Wool 3.5 4.0" 7.0" 7.0" 8.5 Riged Board Polystyrene 3.0" 3.5" 3.5" 5.5" " Urethane 2.0" 2.0" 2.0" 3.5" Fiberglass 3.0" 3.5" 3.5" 5.5" 7.5 Lome I Index I F s Ask The SCANA Home Solutions Pro 0 142 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 1997 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Award of Contract for Management Audit of the city's Finance Department to Ralph Andersen & Associates in the amount of $23,750.

This background information is meant to provide perspective for the balance of the proposal. Background The City of El Segundo is a General Law City that serves a resident population of 16,060. This population figure does not, however, reflect the size of the City organization because the City serves a much larger daytime population. The City is a full- service community with the exception of contracted services for refuse collection and animal control. Based on the recent award by the City to acquire a new financial management system, a management audit to improve Finance Department's overall use of staff and systems has been requested. Currently the Finance Department is staffed with 15.1 positions. At this time, a number of these positions are filled by temporary or part -time employees. With the introduction of the new financial management system, the management audit will evaluate the balance of the Finance Department's systems and the allocation of staff to the various duties and responsibilities. The Finance Department has two primary divisions (1) administra- tive and (2) accounting. The Management Audit will also review the duties and staff assigned to each division to ensure that there is no overlap of duties. The Finance Department's Administrative Division is responsible for providing City officials and City Staff with financial support services required to achieve their program goals effectively, and to plan, develop, direct and control the fiscal systems, in accordance with legal, operational and management information requirements. The overall responsibility of the Administrative Division includes the following areas: 1 0 140 Introduction • Business License • Payroll Services • Accounts Payable • Accounts Receivable • Water Billing Services • Purchasing • Data Processing • Budgeting and Cashiering. The Finance Department's Accounting Division is responsible for providing an effective general and budgetary accounting system and for performing fiscal accounting and reporting tasks to meet City, State and Federal requirements. In addition, it is the responsibility of the division to provide the following: • Budget and financial statement preparation • General ledger accounting • Payroll and benefit services • Accounts payable processing • Purchasing functions. The overall objectives of the Accounting Division are to develop and provide accurate, timely and efficient general and budgetary accounting services to the City Council, City Manager and Depart- ment Heads; to meet the accounting and reporting requirements of State and Federal agencies; to provide ongoing administration and the processing of payroll and benefits, the procurement of materi- als, supplies and services and the payment of City obligations. Issues The City has devoted considerable resources to improve the performance of the Finance Department including the recent award of a contract to acquire a new financial management system from Eden Systems. Significant effort has been placed by the City on the achievement of several goals and objectives for Fiscal Year 1997/98 which include: ■ Successfully convert the City's payroll system and begin conversion of core financial system components in general ledger, budgeting, accounts payable, and cash receipts. ■ Develop procedure manuals for the accounts payable, accounts receivable, utility billing, business license, benefits and budgeting functions. N r i �n Introduction ■ Continue cross training of City staff in all areas. ■ Conduct additional customer satisfaction surveys for key Finance Department functions. ■ Strive to maintain an average of 10 working days after month end to prepare accurate interim financial reports. Methodologies & Work Plan The technical plan for this assignment includes the application of a number of data collection and analytical methodologies, each of which have been successfully employed by Ralph Andersen & Associates in past projects. Our approach to the project, a description of the methodologies to be used, and the work plan to be followed are presented in the first section of the proposal. A common theme that runs throughout our discussion of the approach, methodologies and work plan to be conducted for this study is communication. Our experience has confirmed time and again the essential value of providing numerous means and opportunities for communication between the consultant team, city officials and all levels of city staff. The work plan as described was developed to address every one of the city's objectives for this project. Project Schedule & Budget We are prepared to begin work on the Management Audit of the Finance Department within two weeks of the signing of a contract. We anticipate completion of the study and presentation of the Final Report within 60 days from the start date based upon the work plan developed for this project. If this schedule presents practical problems for the City, we would be pleased to discuss a more appropriate timeline to meet El Segundo's needs. As presented in more detail in a later section of the proposal, our budget for this project totals $23,750, which is inclusive of all related expenses. 3 0 151 Introduction Qualifications & Staff Ralph Andersen & Associates has conducted organization and management studies for cities and other local public sector agencies for the past 25 years. The studies include city -wide organization and management projects as well as analyses of particular departments or services areas. This proposal also includes resumes of the firm's staff who will be involved in this study. The staff assigned to the El Segundo project have extensive experience and expertise both as local government managers and analysts, and as consultants to public sector agencies. References As requested, we have provided references for similar past and present projects conducted by Ralph Andersen & Associates. We strongly urge you to contact these or any other past clients to learn more about the quality and responsiveness of our work. Why Select Ralph Andersen & Associates? As this proposal will reflect, Ralph Andersen & Associates is the most qualified consulting firm to undertake a Management Audit for the City of El Segundo's Finance Department. Some of the most significant points to recognize about our firm include: ■ We have a verifiable, recent track record in performing directly related studies for municipalities and other units of local government in California, and across the United States ■ All project consulting staff, including the Project Manager and other senior members of the firm, will be directly, personally involved in the assignment and will not "disap- pear" after the contract is signed ■ The staff we will assign to this study are all experienced, capable consultants who have recent, direct involvement in similar consulting assignments ■ The methodologies and work plan proposed have been tailored to meet all of the City's objectives for this study. In addition, our overall approach to the project provides 4 t 5 1— Introduction a number of opportunities for communication between the consultants and city officials and staff to ensure that all of the organization's needs are adequately addressed during the project.

Work Plan This section contains the work plan for the Management Audit of the Finance Department. The work plan is described briefly as a series of inter - related tasks. In general, the tasks are described in sequential order although some may be conducted concurrently. Task 1 — Study Initiation The study will be initiated by the consultants immediately upon receiving notification to proceed. The study initiation activities are described briefly below. Task 1.1— Study Initiation Meetings — The consultants will conduct a series of meetings to begin the study. First, they will meet with the City Manager. The purpose of this 0 0 1 5S Objective, Scope and Nature of Proposed Program meeting will be to review and confirm the scope of study, work plan, and timing of completion. In addition, the meeting will be used to review the specific problems regard- ing the operations of the Finance Department. In addition, the consultants will discuss the current organization, staffing, and operations of the Department. The purpose of this meeting will be to review the work plan, objectives, and timing of the study with the City Manager. Task 1.2 — Initial Meetings with Managers — The consultants will then meet with the Finance Director followed by meetings with key supervisors and managers (Assistant Finance Director, Accounting Manager and Information Systems Manager). Task 1.3 — Conduct Briefings For Department Staff — It is important that the consultants have an opportunity to meet with the Department staff as a group to brief them on the study and to respond to questions they may have.

L INTRODUCTION This chapter of our proposal discusses our understanding of the project, its specific scope and objectives, and key issues that influenced our approach to formulating the work plan discussed in Section 2. Background The City of El Segundo has requested a management audit of its Finance Department. The objective of the study is the identification of opportunities to improve the Department's use of staff and systems. The Department is staffed with 15 positions, many of them part -time or vacant. The City has also just awarded a contract to acquire a new financial management system from Eden Systems. The implementation of the new financial system will require changes in work process, procedures, and staffing resources. In addition, the Assistant Finance Director position, a line management position, will soon be vacated, which will provide additional organizational challenges. The scope of our study is limited to the operation the Finance Department's functions and services as shown in Figure I -1.

The objectives of the study are as follows: • Review the organization, staffing, operation, and management of this Department. • Document current services and service levels and identify areas where desired or required services or service levels are not being provided. • Document and evaluate the internal efficiency and effectiveness of the unit. • Identify opportunities for effectively reallocating resources. • Prepare a Final Report that includes recommendations for enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the units under study in providing appropriate services and a plan for implementing those recommendations. City of E! Segundo 2 Arroyo Associates, Inc. i H. WORK PLAN This chapter describes our overall approach and the specific tasks and deliverables we will provide upon completing this assignment. iOverview In accomplishing the stated objectives, we will interview Department personnel and various client and stakeholder groups; conduct on -site observations of work activities; review appropriate documents and records; identify and document current workload and service levels; distribute questionnaires to all staff; and conduct follow -up interviews with managers, line staff, and stakeholders both within the Department and the City government; identify best -in -class management practices; conduct a benchmark survey with other agencies; and formulate practical and implementable recommendations. In doing so, we will undertake the tasks illustrated in Exhibit II -1 and summarized briefly below. Task Plan TASK 1.0 INITIATE AND MANAGE PROJECT We have combined the initial task of starting the project with the on -going task of monitoring, controlling, and administering the project. The on -going project management activities are directed to tracking the project's progress against the plan, reporting progress for the Department's project management purposes, and tmeeting regularly with Department managers and the Project Steering Committee (PSC). ' The activities performed in Task 1 are crucial to the success of the study for several reasons. First, the work schedule for the project must be defined and clearly understood by the Department and consultants so that expectations concerning study objectives and our approach to the project are mutually held. A detailed project schedule in the form of "Deliverables" will also assist the Department and the consultants in monitoring the progress of the work and the timeliness of the deliverables submitted by the consultant. It will be of particular importance to ensure from the initial steps of the engagement that the roles of all involved are clear to the City's management, the Department, and the consultants and that appropriate lines of communication are established.

City of El Segundo 8 Arroyo Associates, Inc. 0 203 TASK 8.0 SUBMIT FINAL REPORT AND ACTION PLAN The process of final report preparation is an important one. Implicit in this process is the need for a sound understanding of how our review was conducted, what issues were identified, why our recommendations were made, and how implementation should be accomplished. The consultants' reputation has been built on providing useful reports to clients. Experience has shown that a large percent of the consultants' recommendations have been implemented and have resulted in organizational renewal and change. We will prepare and submit our final report according to the following sub - tasks: 8.1 Draft of the Final Report We will prepare a draft report documenting the results of the study. In this report we will: • Summarize the objective and scope of the engagement. • Present a management summary of the results of the study, including the strengths of each unit and opportunities for improvement. • Present a review of how the study was conducted. • Describe the weaknesses identified and present our recommendations. The recommendations will be ranked in order according to critical success factors. Recommendations that aid the development or completion of a critical success factor will receive a high priority ranking. • Describe a plan for corrective action showing implementation responsibilities, schedules, and expected benefits. • Describe a methodology for monitoring implementation status. • Include other items as appropriate. Because of the consultants' experience, it can be expected that recommendations and ideas will surface during the course of the study in topic areas not covered in our proposal. The consultants will share these observations with the program managers as they arise. 8.2 Review Draft Report with City Manager, Finance Director and Staff 0 204 City of El Segundo 9 Arroyo Associates, Inc. Our normal practice is to review a draft of our report with management personnel to ensure that the factual basis for our recommendations is correct. In addition, we take time to discuss any areas that may require further clarification or amplification. It is during this time that understandings beyond the written text can be communicated. 83 Final Report and Oral Presentation Based on the results of our review process, we will prepare a final report and present a summary to the City Manager and City Council at a regularly scheduled meeting.

Authorize the Human Resources Department to initiate the recruitment, testing and selection process necessary to fill the positions. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: Historically, the Building Safety Division has utilized the services of both an Office Specialist and a Building Permit Specialist to serve the needs of its customers at the Planning and Building Safety public counter. Office Specialist is a City -wide position broken down into two categories: Office Specialist I and Office Specialist II. A new employee typically begins his/her training in the Office Specialist I position. After successfully completing a year at this level, and with the approval of the Director of Planning and Building Safety, this person usually advances to the Office Specialist II position. The duties of an Office Specialist typically include typing, filing record keeping, and the processing of paperwork. The Office Specialist II position is currently established at salary range #15 ($2,003 — $2,433). There is approximately a 10% salary difference between the Office Specialist I and Office Specialist II position. The Building Permit Specialist position is responsible for processing permit applications and related forms, calculating fees, verifying State Contractor's Licenses and City Business Licenses, routing plans, and providing information related to permit procedures, policies and functions. The Building Permit Specialist position is at salary range #53 ($2,898 — $3,520). The person in this position is considered to have more seniority, responsibility and expertise than the Office Specialist position, however, there are no formal supervisory duties associated with the Building Permit Specialist position.

Accordingly, staff is proposing that the above positions be reclassified as a series class specification, Building Permit Specialist I and Building Permit Specialist II. The current Office Specialist I and II positions would become the Building Permit Specialist I position. The current Building Permit Specialist position would become the Building Permit Specialist II position. A person beginning work in the Building Safety Division would, in most cases, begin his/her training at the Building Permit Specialist I level. After a successful year of training, and with the approval of the Director of Planning and Building Safety, this person would typically advance to the Building Permit Specialist II level. Staff is proposing that the current salary range,(range #53 - $2898 - $3520 per month),for Building Permit Specialist be decreased by approximately 10% to range 43, $2629 - $3194 per month, for the new job classification of Building Permit Specialist II. Correspondingly, staff is proposing that the salary range for Building Permit Specialist I be established at Range 28, $2273 - $2760 per month, an increase of approximately 13% from the current Office Specialist II salary range. The net cost of these changes to the City would be zero. The salary range recommendation for Building Permit Specialist II is based both on an analysis of internal relationships with other clerical and technical job classifications as well as a consideration of prevailing rates of pay in the local labor market. The proposed salary range for Building Permit Specialist I is approximately 15% below Building Permit Specialist II. Both job classifications will continue to be represented by the General Employees Association. - page 2- Q 240 RESOLUTION NO.

HRD\H: \classpec:l nfoSysMgr:5\97mc 0 247 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21,1997 AGENDA ITEMSTATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business City Manager AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consider the option of retiring the Library Certificates of Participation (COP). Fiscal Impact: A savings of $694,000 of interest and trustee fees over the remaining life of the debt will be offset by an estimated $450,000 of interest that would be earned on the funds that would be used to pay the certificates off over time. The net effect on reserves at the end of the remaining ten years left on the life of the bonds is an increase of approximately $250,000. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION.• Recommend that the City Council authorize staff to take the necessary action to retire the 1988 Library Certificates of Participation, effective January 1, 1998. (The next date the City has the option to call the bonds.) INTRODUCTIONAND BACKGROUND: During the presentation of the 1997/98 Operating Budget to the City Council, staff first outlined the possibility of retiring the Library Certificates of Participation. The City Council elected not to retire the debt during this fiscal year in order to assure funding for the LAX Master Plan Intervention costs without reducing reserves. DISCUSSION.- Staff now has some preliminary figures from our year end audit that indicate that the City collected approximately $1,240,000 more revenue in the General Fund than it expended. The amount of principal outstanding on the Certificates is also $1,240,000. Therefore the 1996/97 surplus generated by higher than expected sales tax as well as expenditure control exercised by departments, could be used toward retiring the Certificates. The City Council's policy on any current year end surplus realized is that it will be designated for existing liabilities in the area of compensated absences within the Employee Benefits designated reserve. The current unfunded balance of employee compensated absences is approximately $3,300,000. Staff recommends that, for this year, the surplus be redesignated to retire the Library COPs as this debt reduction is more advantageous to the City. The decision to retire the Certificates will save the taxpayers of El Segundo approximately $70,000 each year for the next ten years in interest and trustee fees. If the City does not retire the Certificates, it will pay interest rates on the debt of between 7.99% and 8.10% over the remaining life of the Certificates, while presently averaging a 5.71 % rate of return on its portfolio. The City will need to inform the trustee of its intent to redeem the Certificates by Friday, November 14, 1997. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. None FISCAL IMPACT.

Morrison, City Manager 0 ?-t1 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 21, 1997 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: City Manager, New Business AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Target Industry List Modifications RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Approve modifications recommended by the Economic Development Advisory Council. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The current Target Industry list was developed as part of the Economic Development Strategic Plan approved by the City Council in 1993. The list (along with the program goals and objectives) provides the focus for the City's ongoing business retention and recruitment program. In addition, the list is one of the key criteria utilized to determine if an applicant is qualified to receive financial assistance through the Business Assistance Program. DISCUSSION: Since the list was adopted in 1993, the economic profile of the City has changed dramatically. In response to the loss of thousands of aerospace jobs, recruitment efforts have concentrated on diversifying our local economy. For example, El Segundo is now home to a number of software companies including Sybase, HCm, and Wareforce. Accounting firms, such as Andersen Consulting, and corporate headquarters for Unocal, Bristol Farms, Qantas Airways, and Relax The Back have recently relocated here. In the retail /service area, we have added Pacific Theaters, Super Crown Books, Starbucks, Murad Skin Care, Wolfgang Pucks, Ralphs, and Homestead Village Hotel to name a few. On October 9, 1997, the Economic Development Advisory Council reviewed the Target Industry list and suggested a number of modifications for the City Council's consideration (attached). The new list is general by design and includes four broad business categories: Retail /Hospitality; Entertainment/Multi Media; Business, Professional & Creative Services; and High Tech /R &D and Light Manufacturing. (The Advisory Council considered making the list much more specific, but realized there would be virtually no end to the types of businesses under each category.)
