WHEREAS, at said hearings the following facts were established:
The applicant is proposing to allow the retrofitting of the former Security Pacific Bank building on

Hughes Electronics specifically, and the community generally;
2. The applicant is proposing to operate temporary classrooms on the site to accommodate 25 to 40
Hughes's employee children for approximately 6 months;
The applicant is proposing to operate temporary classrooms only until all required certificates of
occupancy and licenses to operate the renovated buildings as a child care facility have been issued.
The site is in the Urban Mixed Use - North (MU -N) Zone;
4. The one -story 2270 East El Segundo Boulevard, former Security Pacific Bank building, contains
approximately 6,443 square feet;
5. An outdoor playground of approximately 6,400 square feet in area with sand, play equipment, and
landscaping will be provided in the driveway areas previously occupied by the bank's drive -up teller
area;
6. The proposed project will provide 32 on -site parking spaces, including eleven drop -off spaces;
7. One existing curb cut on Douglas Street will be removed and restored with curb, gutter, and new

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, under Class 1. Class 1 consists of the
operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alterations of existing public or private structures, facilities,
mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond
that previously existing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts and study of proposed
Environmental Assessment EA-438 and Precise Plan 98 -1, the City Council makes the following findings:
The Categorical Exemption was made available to all local and affected agencies and for public
review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law. The Categorical Exemption indicates
that the proposed project consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alterations of existing
public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving
negligible or no expansion of use beyond that previously existing;
00026
2. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the potential
for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the
project is in a built -out urban environment; and,
That the City Council authorizes and directs the Director of Planning and Building Safety to file with
the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and de minimus finding pursuant to AB 3158
and the California Code of Regulations. Within ten (10) days of the final approval of the
Environmental Assessment EA -438, the applicant shall submit to the City of El Segundo a fee of
$25.00 required by the County of Los Angeles for the filing of this certificate along with the required
Notice of Exemption. As approved in AB 3158, the statutory requirements of CEQA will not be met
and no vesting shall occur until this condition is met and the required notices and fees are filed with
the County.
PRECISE PLAN
1. That the proposed location of the project is in accord with the purposes of the zone in which the site
is located. The proposed project is consistent with the intent of the Urban Mixed Use - North (MU -N)
Zone which allows a broad mix of uses which serve a broad cross - section of the City and surrounding
area.
2. Precise Plan 74 -05, which established the design of the existing facilities and the placement of
essential related facilities such as parking, traffic circulation, and loading, is not significantly altered
by the proposed amendment. The traffic, circulation, and parking will be acceptable.
3. The amendment to allow operation of the temporary classrooms on the site is reasonable, when viewed
related to the overall project objectives.
4. The temporary classrooms will only be operated until such time as the renovated building licenses
have been issued.
1. That the proposed use is consistent with the following General Plan designation of the site for Light
Industrial. This designation allows light manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, and
office. The General Plan states that other compatible uses are permitted with approval of a Specific
Plan. A Precise Plan is similar to a Specific Plan, and as there is a Precise Plan on the site, it is
appropriate to amend the Precise plan to allow the day care facility as a permitted use;
2. Economic Development Goals ED 1 and ED 2, Objective ED 1 -2, and Policy ED 1 -2.2 are met by the
proposed day care which helps to create a strong and diverse economic community, which in turn
helps to retain existing businesses and attract new business. The proposed use improves the quality
of life for the business community by providing a much needed service.
3. Land Use Goal LU-4, Objective LU 4-4, and Policies LU 4 -1.1 and LU 4 -3.2 are met by the project.
These programs encourage the development of new commercial uses, without affecting the downtown,
require landscaping, and encourage mixed use development within a 1/4 mile of the Greenline.
Although the individual project is not a "mixed use" development, it provides a component that is
currently lacking to support the surrounding office, research and development and industrial uses, and
enhances the synergistic relationships of these uses; and,
0 0 -2 1"
4. Circulation Element Objectives C 2 -5 and Policy C 3 -2.1 are also met by the project. These items
encourage reduction of single occupancy vehicle trips (which the day -care facility will promote by the
actual use itself) and the provision of adequate on -site parking, loading, and drop -off facilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council approves Environmental
Assessment EA-438 and Precise Plan 98 -1, an Amendment to Precise Plan 74 -05, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Prior to approval of the building plans, the applicant shall develop plans which indicate that the

WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Environmental
Assessment EA-438 and Precise Plan 98 -1; and,
WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established:
The applicant is proposing to allow the retrofitting of the former Security Pacific Bank building on the corner
of El Segundo Boulevard and Douglas Street for a child care facility for the employees of Hughes Electronics
specifically, and the community generally;
2. The applicant is proposing to operate temporary classrooms on the site to accommodate 25 to 40 Hughes's
employee children for approximately 6 months;
3. The applicant is proposing to operate temporary classrooms only until all required certificates of occupancy and
licenses to operate the renovated buildings as a child care facility have been issued. The site is in the Urban
Mixed Use - North (MU -N) Zone;
4. The one -story 2270 East El Segundo Boulevard, former Security Pacific Bank building, contains approximately
6,443 square feet;
5. An outdoor playground of approximately 6,400 square feet in area with sand, play equipment, and landscaping
will be provided in the driveway areas previously occupied by the bank's drive -up teller area;
6. The proposed project will provide 32 on -site parking spaces, including eleven drop -off spaces;
7. One existing curb cut on Douglas Street will be removed and restored with curb, gutter, and new landscaping.
Thirty -two parking spaces will be provided on site, including eleven drop -off spaces;
8. The proposed facility will operate approximately 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.;
9. The proposed facility will serve a maximum of 98 children, infant to kindergarten. Eighteen to twenty
employees will serve the facility; and,
10. The proposed project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with State
guidelines and local requirements, the proposed project is Categorically Exempt under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, under Class 1. Class 1 consists of the operation, repair,
maintenance, or minor alterations of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that previously existing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts and study of proposed Environmental
Assessment EA-438 and Precise Plan 98 -1, the Planning Commission makes the following findings and recommends
that the City Council certify the Categorical Exemption and approve the Precise Plan Amendment:
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
1. The Categorical Exemption was made available to all local and affected agencies and for public review and
comment in the time and manner prescribed by law. The Categorical Exemption indicates that the proposed
project consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alterations of existing public or private structures,
facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond
that previously existing;
2. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the potential for an
adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is in a built -
out urban environment; and,
3. That the Planning Commission thereby recommends that the City Council authorize and direct the Director of
Planning and Building Safety to file with the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and de
minimus finding pursuant to AB 3158 and the California Code of Regulations. Within ten (10) days of the final
approval of the Environmental Assessment EA -438, the applicant shall submit to the City of El Segundo a fee
of $25.00 required by the County of Los Angeles for the filing of this certificate along with the required Notice
of Exemption. As approved in AB 3158, the statutory requirements of CEQA will not be met and no vesting
shall occur until this condition is met and the required notices and fees are-filed with the County.
PRECISE PL AN
1. That the proposed location of the project is in accord with the purposes of the zone in which the site is located.
The proposed project is consistent with the intent of the Urban Mixed Use - North (MU -N) Zone which allows
a broad mix of uses which serve a broad cross - section of the City and surrounding area.
2. Precise Plan 74-05, which established the design of the existing facilities and the placement of essential related
facilities such as parking, traffic circulation, and loading, is not significantly altered by the proposed amendment.
The traffic, circulation, and parking will be acceptable.
3. The amendment to allow operation of the temporary classrooms on the site is reasonable, when viewed related
to the overall project objectives.
4. The temporary classrooms will only be operated until such time as the renovated building licenses have been
issued.
1. That the proposed use is consistent with the following General Plan designation of the site for Light Industrial.
This designation allows light manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, and office. The General
Plan states that other compatible uses are permitted with approval of a Specific Plan. A Precise Plan is similar
to a Specific Plan, and as there is a Precise Plan on the site, it is appropriate to amend the Precise plan to allow
the day care facility as a permitted use;
2. Economic Development Goals ED 1 and ED 2, Objective ED 1 -2, and Policy ED 1 -2.2 are met by the proposed
day care which helps to create a strong and diverse economic community, which in turn helps to retain existing
businesses and attract new business. The proposed use improves the quality of life for the business community
by providing a much needed service.
3. Land Use Goal LU-4, Objective LU 4-4, and Policies LU 4 -1.1 and LU 4 -3.2 are met by the project. These
programs encourage the development of new commercial uses, without affecting the downtown, require
landscaping, and encourage mixed use development within a 1/4 mile of the Greenline. Although the individual
project is not a "mixed use" development, it provides a component that is currently lacking to support the
surrounding office, research and development and industrial uses, and enhances the synergistic relationships of
these uses; and,
4. Circulation Element Objectives C 2 -5 and Policy C 3 -2.1 are also met by the project. These items encourage
reduction of single occupancy vehicle trips (which the day -care facility will promote by the actual use itself) and
the provision of adequate on -site parking, loading, and drop -off facilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby recommends to the City
Council approval of Environmental Assessment EA -438 and the Amendment to Precise Plan 74 -05 subject to the
following conditions:
1. Prior to approval of the building plans, the applicant shall develop plans which indicate that the project is in

Amendment to Precise Plan 74 -05 (PP 74 -05)1.
Address: 2270 East El Segundo Boulevard
Applicant: Ms. Laura Peterson - Bright Horizons
Property Owner: Kilroy Reality, L.P.
The Planning Division has received the above referenced application which is a request of Bright
Horizons to retrofit the former Security Pacific Bank building (6,443 square feet in area) on the
corner of El Segundo Boulevard and Douglas Street for a child care facility for the employees of
Hughes Electronics specifically, and the community generally. Additionally, Bright Horizons
requests approval to operate temporary classrooms on the site to accommodate 25 to 40
Hughes' employee children. The temporary classrooms will be utilized only until all required
certificates of occupancy and licenses to operate the renovated buildings as a child care facility
have been issued.
The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission review the facts and required
findings related to the proposed project, and adopt Planning Commission Resolution No.
recommending approval of Precise Plan 98 -1 to the City Council.
The Draft Resolution will be distributed separately.
PROJECT /SITE DESCRIPTION
The proposed project site is located on the corner of El Segundo Boulevard and Douglas Street.
The proposed project will be located in the former Security Pacific Bank building, a 6,443 square
feet structure. An outdoor playground approximately 6,400 square feet in area with sand, play
equipment, and landscaping will be provided in the driveway areas previously occupied by the
r0

bank's drive -up teller area. The proposed project will provide 32 on -site parking spaces. One
existing curb cut on Douglas Street will be removed and restored with curb, gutter, and new
landscaping. The facility will operate approximately 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.. A maximum of 98
children will be accommodated in the facility, infant through kindergarten. Eighteen to twenty
employees will serve the facility.
Precise Plan 74 -05 (PP 74 -05), approved on August 19, 1974, allowed for the construction and
operation of a branch bank at the location of the proposed project. Precise Plan 98 -1 (PP 98 -1)
will amend the PP 74 -05 to allow the conversion of the former Security Pacific Bank Building for
use as a child care facility and to operate eight temporary classrooms for approximately six
months on the site.
The area surrounding the project site is highly urbanized. Land uses are comprised primarily of
two -story commercial office buildings. Landscaping exists along El Segundo Boulevard and
Douglas Street. There are no residential uses located in the immediate project vicinity.
Topographical, the project vicinity is generally level.

Planning Commission Staff Report
March 26,1998
The existing building, former use and development standards were approved under a Precise
Plan. A Precise Plan is a term for a development application that is no longer used in the City
for new projects. A Precise Plan would now be call a Specific Plan. A Precise Plan amends the
zoning map by establishing permitted uses and development standards that apply only to the
area covered by the plan. No variances are required for Precise Plans, the approval establishes
the required development standards for a project.
The adoption of a Precise Plan is a legislative act by the City Council, based upon
recommendations by the Planning Commission. There are no specific findings that must be
adopted for an amendment of a Precise Plan. The City must in approving a Precise Plan or
Precise Plan amendment make findings related to the following three (3) areas:
1. The California Environmental Quality Act;
2. The consistency of the action with the City's General Plan; and
3. A finding that the action is necessary to carry out the general purpose of the Zoning
Code.
The proposed project will be the first amendment to the Precise Plan for the project site.
Table B provides a comparison of the site development standards indicated in the Light
Industrial (M -1) Zone, with the proposed project.

The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Light Industrial. This designation allows
light manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, and office. The General Plan
states that other compatible uses are permitted with approval of a Specific Plan. A Precise Plan
is similar to a Specific Plan, and as there is a Precise Plan on the site, it is appropriate to amend
the Precise Plan to allow the day care facility as a permitted use.
Many General Plan goals, objectives, and policies related to Economic Development, Land Use,
and Circulation apply to the proposed project. Specifically, Economic Development Goals ED 1
and ED 2, Objective ED 1 -2, and Policy ED 1 -2.2 are met by the proposed day care which helps
to create a strong and diverse economic community, which in turn helps to retain existing
businesses and attract new businesses. The facility improves the quality of life for the business
community by providing a much needed service. Land Use Goal LU -4, Objective LU4 -4, and
Policies LU 4 -1.1 and LU 4 -3.2 are met by the project. These programs encourage the

development of new commercial uses, without affecting the downtown, require landscaping, and
encourage mixed use development within a 1/4 mile of the Greenline. Although the individual
project is not a "mixed use" development, it provides a component that is currently lacking to
support the surrounding office, research and development and industrial, uses, and enhances
the synergistic relationships of these uses. Circulation Element Objective C 2 -5 and Policy C 3-
2.1 are met by the project. These items encourage reduction of single- occupancy vehicle trips
(which the day -care facility will promote by the actual use itself) and the provision of adequate
on -site parking, loading, and drop -off facilities.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
The proposed project is Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) section 15301, under Class 1. Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance,
or minor alterations of existing public or privates structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that previously
existing.
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
The project was reviewed by Hartzog & Crabill, Inc., Traffic Engineers, the City Traffic Engineer.
The City Traffic Engineer commented that:
`Based on our review of the concept plans, along with a traffic evaluation of the
site and an evaluation of the traffic generation of the previous land use (bank) in
relation to the proposed use, a traffic impact study would not be necessary.
However, the following on -site traffic issues would need to addressed...:
The City Traffic Engineer recommended six (6) conditions related to the proposed project. The
suggested conditions, attached as an exhibit, will be incorporated into Draft Resolution for
consideration by the Planning Commission.
Additionally, the City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the amendment to the Precise Plan to allow
the operation of temporary classrooms on the site to accommodate 25 to 40 children. He has
concluded that the temporary classrooms will not create a significant problem from a traffic and
parking standpoint. He has requested a final review and approval of the location. This request
has been included as a suggested condition of the project approval.
Based upon the above described analysis no traffic, circulation, or parking impacts are
anticipated.
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
The project applications and plans were circulated to all inter - departmental Staff and their
comments are attached to this report and summarized in Table C below. Most recommended
conditions will be incorporated into the conditions of approval in the Draft Resolution, with the

The Traffic Division requested the
following
conditions of approval:
1.
Traffic flow on the west side of the
building be restricted to one way only
(northbound). Signs should be placed
to indicate cars are to travel in one
direction only.
2.
The curb on the west side of the
building should be painted red and
marked appropriately as a fire lane to
prevent cars from stopping against the
curb to drop off children.
3.
There should be appropriate signs to
indicate there is no parking allowed in
the 100 block of South Douglas Street
or the 2200 block of East El Segundo
Boulevard.
4.
These is an exit driveway located in
the 2200 block of East El Segundo
Boulevard. A sign should be posted
to prevent cars eastbound on El
Segundo Boulevard from turning right
into this driveway. (i.e. DO NOT
ENTER or EXIT ONLY would be
appropriate).
5.
There is an entrance driveway to the
parking lot that is located west of the
above listed exit driveway. This
entrance driveway is currently closed
off via chain, it is recommended that it
remain closed to prevent conflicting
traffic flow from converging at the
child care center.
6.
There should be adequate
handicapped parking stalls and ramps
for staff as well as parents dropping
off children.
7.
Additionally, the Police Department
provided ten (10) specific measures
related to crime prevention.

Building and Safety Division Per Section 3405 of the Uniform Building
Code, buildings which have a change in use
or occupancy shall comply with the code (the
current edition) requirement for the new use.
This would included, but is not limited to
automatic fire sprinkler protection, exiting
issues, occupancy issues, and possible
review by the Health Department. Plans will
be reviewed for code compliance at the time
of plan check submittal.

Both the Fire and Police Department commented that the drive aisle on the west side of the
building should be limited to one -way (northbound) only. This would cause significant on -site
circulation problems and conflicts with the parking for the adjacent property to the West.
Additionally, it would force all traffic on -site to exit via El Segundo Boulevard, and head East
bound on El Segundo Boulevard, instead of potentially using the exit on Douglas Street. Staff
would not recommend turning the drive aisle on the West side of the building to one -way
northbound.
Based on the information, facts and findings contained within this staff report, staff believes that
the following Precise Plan findings have been made:
1. The application has been prepared in accordance with CEQA, the state CEQA
Guidelines, and local CEQA Guidelines. The proposed project is Categorically
Exempt from the requirements of CEQA.
2. ' The application is consistent with the City's General Plan;
3. The application will not interfere with the City's ability to carry out the general
purpose of the Zoning Code.

Attachment to
Application for an Amendment to a Precise Plan
INSERTS
Item #1: Bright Horizons, the nation's most experienced provider of work -site child care, is
planning to retrofit the former Security Bank building on the comer of El Segundo
and Douglas for a child care program for the employees of Hughes Electronics
specifically, and the community generally.
The bank building will be renovated to upgrade systems as necessary to
accommodate the new use, and the interior will be mostly gutted and
reconstructed with classrooms and service facilities that are specified to child care
use. We anticipate minimal changes to the exterior of the building shell (which is
a combination of glass curtain wall and steel frame with brick in -fill panels. We
plan to introduce some new windows and doors, primarily in the existing masonry
walls.
Bright Horizons operates programs of the highest quality in partnership with
corporations, municipalities, hospitals and others. Our partnership assures the
families that their children will be receiving care of the highest quality. Our
teachers are trained early childhood professionals and our programs respect the
individuality of the child and involve the parent in every aspect.
This particular center will be licensed for 98 children ages infant through
kindergarten. Children will be in small groups with ratios of faculty to children
ranging from 1:4 infants to 1:10 preschool.
The site will maintain its current landscaping and Bright Horizons will add a
playground to the east and south of the bank. The playground will have sand,
resilient play surface, play equipment and attractive landscaping. The plan
provides for the temporary closure of an existing egress onto Douglas Street to
make room for the playgrounds associated with this particular use; the existing
curb cut and sidewalk apron at this location will remain as is. At such time as a
new use is approved to occupy this site, the existing egress way will be reopened
via the existing curb cut.
Item #2: The existing site (parcel) identified for this project currently includes a one -story
branch bank building of approximately 6,443 square feet. The building is
approximately 20' high (interior ceiling heights ranged from 9' to 18'). An
attached porte - cochere accommodates drive- through tellers. The bank building
has been vacant for at least five years.

Attachment to
Application for an Amendment to a Precise Plan
Page Two
Item #3: This site is very conveniently located to Hughes, the prime sponsor of the center
for their employees' children to use. It is a safe area surrounded by a parking lot
and landscape buffer and has a large outdoor area which can be developed as a
playground for the children. The proximity of this center to Hughes' offices is a
key factor in recruiting and retaining employees and gives employees the piece of
mind that contributes to lower absenteeism and greater productivity. A number of
spaces will be open to community enrollment on a first -come, first -serve basis.
This location offers parents the choice to come by and visit during lunch or spend
time in the child's classroom.
Item #4: The physical appearance of the structure will not change. It will be enhanced by
the planned use. The proposed children's center will occupy a building which has
been vacant for a long time. This project will bring life to this corner with
families bringing their children and children enjoying the new playground areas.
Item #5: The site will be adapted to accommodate a child care facility with children's
classrooms, educational equipment and materials and playground space. No
technological process (e.g., manufacturing) will be employed in this use. The
proposed educational use is compatible with the uses in the general area, will
complement and support neighboring businesses, and will be an amenity to the
community.

D. 6. Transportation/Circulation
d) Parking_ Capacity: The majority of parents will be Hughes employees. Vehicles will
enter the site off Douglas Street, park in the designated south parking stalls, and walk
with their children on the sidewalk next to the building to the entrance. Bright
Horizons manages many programs and our experience with a program of this size is
that the maximum number of parents during drop -off and pick -up at any one time will
be 6 to 12. After the parents have dropped off and/or picked up their children, they
will exit onto El Segundo or Douglas through the exits marked on the plan.
The most remote spaces, particularly those along El Segundo Boulevard to the
northwest of the building, will be used by Bright Horizons' teachers and staff
throughout the day, leaving the closer spaces for use by parents.
All parents are given a thorough orientation when they enroll their children. One of
the most important things we stress is the safety of the children, especially when
parents are walking their children to and from the car. There will be posted signs and
reminders to parents about the drop -off and pick -up rules.

Subject: EA -438, Project No. 98 -1
2270 E. El Segundo Blvd.
Bright Horizons
The Police Department has reviewed the lan or EA-438 and returns them with
P P —
the following suggestions.
TRAFFIC DIVISION:
Traffic flow on the west side of the building should be restricted to one way
only (northbound). Signs should be placed to indicate cars are to travel in
one direction only.
The curb on the west side of the building should be painted red and marked
appropriately as a fire lane to prevent cars from stopping against the curb to
drop off children.
There should be appropriate signs to indicate there is no parking allowed in
the 100 block of S. Douglas or the 2200 block of E. El Segundo.
There is an exit driveway located in the 2200 block of E. El Segundo. A sign
should be posted to prevent cars eastbound El Segundo from turning right
into this driveway (i.e. DO NOT ENTER or EXIT ONLY would be
appropriate).
There is an entrance driveway to the parking lot that is located west of the
above listed exit driveway. This entrance driveway is currently closed off via
chain, it is recommend that it remain closed to prevent conflicting traffic flow
from converging at the child care center.
There should be adequate handicapped parking stalls and ramps for staff as
well as for parents dropping off children.
00066
CRIME PRE EM i ON:
Safety and security of the children, employees and parents are the primary issues in
this child care project, with parental abductions and child molesters being of
particular concern. Therefore, proper lighting and clear visibility from the facility
out onto the parking lots is of utmost importance.
Landscarrine
The berm should be no higher than 2 feet and any landscaping on top
should be ground cover only (i.e. grasses and low growing flowers).
- All other landscaping should be kept low profile using grasses and low
growing flowers as much as possible. Any shrubs, bushes or hedging should
be trimmed to no more than 2 to 3 feet high and separated. This will deter
hiding places for people with criminal intent.
Block Wall
A minimum 6 foot solid block wall is recommended to surround the
playground along the east side of the building. This should protect against
the dangers of traffic accidents which leave the street and terminate into the
playground.
However, it would be recommended that the wall surrounding the
playground on the south side of the building be constructed partially of solid
block and partially of steel tubular fencing. This will provide visibility for
employees to watch the "drop -off parking" area and walkway along that side.
It will also aid in natural surveillance for patrol and passersby. Any
landscaping along this walkway should be kept low profile so as not to block
visibility to these areas mentioned.
Lzgh
Only 3 light standards were noted on the plans. All parking lots and the
perimeter of the building should be provided with 1 foot candle minimum
maintained on the surface during the hours of darkness. Aisles, passageways
and recesses related to and within the buildings shall be illuminated with an
intensity of at least twenty -five one hundredths foot candle minimum
maintained at the ground level during hours of darkness. Lighting devices
shall be protected by weather and vandal resistant covers.
Trash Enclosure
Enclosure should be constructed either entirely of steel tubular fencing or of
three solid block walls with a 6 foot steel tubular gate. In the second option,
by having a steel tubular gate this would provide maximum visibility into
the dumpster enclosure.
0 O�C7
Exterior Doors
Exterior doors should be of solid core construction, 1 3/4 inches thick.
Doors should have a deadbolt with a 1 inch projection. The cylinder guard
should be of case hardened steel, with the outer casing angled or tapered and
free spinning. The exterior part of the lock should be connected to the inside
portion of the lock with bolts at least 1/4 inches in diameter and constructed
of steel. The locking mechanism should contain a minimum of a 5 pin
tumbler.
Strike plates should be constructed of a heavy metal and mounted with a
minimum of 4, 1/2 inch screws, off -set.
Glass entry doors should have a latch guard placed over the deadboh to
protect against prying.
Security Cameras
Security cameras which monitor and record activity around the perimeter
parking lots and entry door should be considered.

To: Laurie Risk
From: Ofc.Kim #384
Subject: Re: Bright Star Child Center (2270 E. El Segundo Blvd)
After physically reviewing the parking lot at the location, I observed the parking lot
located west of the planned child center was full and there is no room for vehicular
traffic in this area. Therefore, I stand by the recommendation that the entrance
currently chained off on El Segundo Blvd remain chained. This will prevent cars
from entering the parking lot from this direction which would put them into conflict
with the cars traveling N/B along the west side of the child care center. As
previously mentioned, my recommendation is to restrict travel on the west side of
the child care center to N/B only.
Note : The child care facility states that the maximum number of parents
dropping off childen at any one time will not exceed twelve. If no more than twelve
parents arrive at the same time to pick up and /or drop off children, then the
parking lot situation should remain in its current state as I do not see any traffic
problems that would arise.

The Police Department would like to add an additional comment to those
submitted on the memo dated March 10, 1998.
If there will be any exit gates leading from the playground out to the
perimeter parking lots /walkways, the gates shall only open from the inside.
There should be no hardware on the outside of the gate which would allow a
parent or persons with criminal intent to enter freely. All visitors shall enter
via the front door and check -in with the receptionist.

On February 12, 1998 we hand - delivered an Application for an Amendment to a Precise Plan with the City of El
Segundo requesting permission to allow the existing, vacant branch bank building, located at the southwest corner
of El Segundo Boulevard and Douglas Street, to be renovated and occupied as a Child Care facility. Bright
Horizons intends to operate the new Children's Center, providing care for approximately 98 children.
Early in our planning process, we discussed, with your planning staff, our potential need to temporarily
accommodate children (i.e., during the time the branch bank building is under renovation and until the renovated
facility receives its necessary license(s) to allow its occupancy as a Children's Center) in mobile classrooms, which
would be located on the property governed by the Precise Plan we are seeking to amend.
The temporary classrooms would serve to accommodate children during our construction process, and would be
removed as soon as Bright Horizons is able to accommodate those children in the newly renovated Center.
Immediately prior to our formal Application submission, Bright Horizons was of the understanding that that
temporary need would be able to be accommodated "off- site" ...at another location; however, since our submission,
the availability of that alternative location has become much less likely.
We ask that the City of El Segundo consider and allow, as part of its favorable response to our Application for
Precise Plan Amendment, Bright Horizons to mobilize, set -up and operate temporary classrooms on the property
governed by the Precise Plan we are seeking to amend during our construction and licensing period. We ask that the
following language be added to the detailed description of our proposed project, provided in response to Question
#1 in our Application for Precise Plan Amendment (please refer to "Attachment 41" to our Application), and that
the Planning Commission and City Council consider and approve this request as a part of their respective approvals
of our Application for Precise Plan Amendment:
"Bright Horizons plans, subject to the approval of the City of El Segundo's Director of Planning and
Building Safety, to mobilize and operate temporary classrooms on the site to accommodate 25 to 40
Hughes' employees' children, who will be without child care service until the new facility is completed. It
is Bright Horizons' intention to use the temporary classrooms during the construction and licensing period
only (i.e., until granted all required certificates of occupancy and licenses to operate the renovated building
as a child care facility. The construction duration is expected to be approximately 6 months from the
construction start date. When the new facility has been occupied as a Child Care facility, the temporary
classrooms will be promptly removed from the property."

If we can provide you with any additional information relative to this request, please do not hesitate to contact me
directly.
We look forward to being heard before the City's Planning Commission and, in turn, City Council in the very near
future. Thank you very much.

SUBJECT: TRAFFIC REVIEW • BRIGHT HORIZONS CHILD
CARE CENTER, EL SEGUNDO BLVD & DOUGLAS
STREET
Per your request, Hartzog & Crabill has reviewed the various concept
plans prepared by D . W . Arthur Associates for a proposed child care center
to be located within an existing vacant bank budding on the southwest
comer of EI Segundo Boulevard and Douglas Street in the City of El
Segundo. Based on our review of the concept plans, along with a traffic
evaluation of the site and an evaluation of the traffic generation of the
previous land use (bank) in relation to the proposed use, a traffic impact
study would not be necessary. However, the following on-site traffic
issues would need to be addressed by the applicant prior to final traffic
approval.
• 1,T 1 ,
1. A comparison of traffic generation forecasts between the previous
bank use and the proposed Child Cate fadhty, using standard 1TE
trip generation rates, shows that overall the Child Care facility
would generate significantly less daily traffic. PM peals hour
traffic .could also be significantly less for the proposed project
while project AM peak hour traffic would only be slightly higher
than the previous bank use. Table 1 illustrates this comparison.
Although our evaluation is based on standard trip generation rates,
the applicant should provide the City with an estimate of daily and
peak hour (7:OOAM- 9:OOAM and 4:OOPM- 6:OOPM) project trip
generation based on their Child Care development experience.

2. The proposed 33 parldng spaces for the project would be adequate to meat the demand.
However, a site evaluation shows that 9 of the proposed project parking spaces which are
located adjacent to El Segundo Boulevard to the west of the project building, are
currently assigned to the A.C.E. Medical building. What is the applicants plan for these
spaces and how do they intend on assigning them to the project ?
3. As the applicant is aware the only entrance to the site is from the southern most driveway
on Douglas Street, all other access driveways are exit only. In addition, the western most
driveway on El Segundo Boulevard is restricted for emergency fire access only. with
access, parking and the adjacent uses in mind the applicant should provide a narrative or
sketch of how the project AM and PM peak hour child drop -off and pick -up operation
will function.
4. A review of the latest concept plan showed the playground area extending to the east side
of the building eliminating the parking lane on that side. This would cause the existing
parking area on the north side to end in a cul-de -sac. Although this idea could work in
concept a more detailed site plan would be needed to thoroughly evaluate the dimensions
of the proposed parking turn - around area
S. Any proposed modifications to the northernmost access on Douglas Street in order to
accommodate the project must provide adequate turning and maneuvering radii for all
vehicles exiting the area.
6. In order to provide clew drive aisles and maintain adequate vehicle /pedestrian sight
distance adjacent to the project, no parking or stopping would be allowed adjacent to the
curb on the north and west sides of the project banding. The applicant would be required
to paint the curbs red and post signs indicating this restriction.
MO • �.
The proposed Child Care Center will not significantly impact traffic on the adjacent roadways
and can be accommodated within the existing circulation system. The on -site traffic issues
mentioned in this document should be addressed by the applicant prior to final approval of the
project.

Dear Commissioners,
SPACE A COMMUNICATIONS
am writing this letter to enlist your support. Hughes Electronics is currently working with Bright
Horizons to develop a daycare center for our employees who live and/or work in the El Segundo area.
The proposed center will be accessible to Hughes employees, other El Segundo -based sponsor
company employees, and the community at large. We believe this development provides a valuable
service to business and the City of El Segundo.
Our Company is committed to helping employees create and maintain a balance between work and
home. Our need for this new daycare center site is created by the loss of the lease for another center
that we have supported for the past six years in the area. Continuing to provide access to a childcare
center will help support our commitment and enhance our ability to attract and retain employees.
A site has been located at the corner of Douglas and El Segundo Boulevard that will fit our needs.
This site, however, is not currently zoned as a daycare center. A request is being presented to you to
change that zoning.
Currently, Bright Horizons is on the Planning Commission agenda for March 26 and the City Council
agenda for April 7. 1 appreciate your serious consideration and support for this zoning request.
Any action you can take to expedite future requests or requirements for this center is appreciated.
Our main goal in expediting this new center is to provide a smooth transition for the families enrolled in
the current center.
I appreciate your assistance.
Sincerely,

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 7, 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to re- designate a portion of the property at 1215 -1227 East
Mariposa Avenue from Single - Family Residential (R -1) to Two - Family Residential (R -2); and, a Negative Declaration
of Environmental Impacts in accordance with CEQA. Environmental Assessment EA -435, General Plan Amendment
GPA 98 -1 and Zone Change ZC 98 -1. Applicant: Andrew Wallet.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Receive letter of withdrawal of application from applicant. (No further action is required.)
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On March 3, 1998, the City Council held a public hearing on the re- designation of a portion of the Church property at
1215 -1227 East Mariposa Avenue. At that time, the City Council introduced an Ordinance to amend various Sections
of the City's General Plan and Zoning Map, and the Public Hearing was closed.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Meeting was continued to March 17, 1998, and at that time the Council requested that the applicant again
meet and work with the Church's neighbors and staff to reach a consensus on the possible redesign of the new
proposed surface parking lot. On March 26, 1998, the applicant, representatives from the Church, the Church's
neighbors, staff, and the City Attorney met and discussed the history of the Church and the proposed project, the
administrative structure of the Church, different options for the layout of the new proposed surface parking lot,
limitations of the existing Church Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and possibly placing a deed restriction on the property
to limit the new R -2 Zone area to parking only. The applicant and the Church representatives indicated that they would
review the information and respond back to staff within a few days. On March 31, 1998, staff received a letter dated
March 30, 1998 from Mr. Wallet withdrawing the GPA and ZC applications. The letter also requested that the Lot Line
Adjustment (LLA) approval be rescinded. This second action is not necessary as the LLA approval expires if the LLA
Certificate of Compliance is not recorded, which has not occurred. No other communication from the applicant, with
regard to the aforementioned meeting, was forthcoming.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1. Withdraw Request Letter from Mr. Wallet, dated March 30, 1998.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

It is the policy of the City of El Segundo to invest public funds in a prudent manner
with the primary objectives of, in priority order, safety, liquidity and yield, and in
conformance with all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

Annual Financial Report and include:
2.1 Funds:
2.1.1
General Fund
2.1.2
Special Revenue Funds
2.1.3
Capital Project Funds
2.1.4
Enterprise Funds
2.1.5
Trust and Agency Funds
2. 1.6
Debt Service Fund
3.0 Prudence:
When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, and
managing public funds, the City Council, Treasurer and other persons authorized to
make investment decisions on behalf of the City, shall act with the care, skill,
prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent
person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the
conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and
maintain the liquidity needs of the City.
3.1 The standard of prudence to be used by investment officers shall be the
"Prudent investor" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an
overall portfolio of money and investments that belong to the public.
Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the
investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal
responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes,
provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and
appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

4.0 iv
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of El Segundo's investment
activities shall be:
4.1 Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment
program. Investments of the City of El Segundo shall be undertaken in
a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall
portfolio. To attain this objective, the City shall only invest in high
quality securities and it shall diversify its investments in order that
potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income
generated from the remainder of the portfolio so as not to harm the
City's cash flow and principal. The City shall also structure its
portfolio so as to prevent the need to sell securities prior to maturity
and it shall not take short positions, that is, selling securities that the
City does not own.
4.2 Liquidity: The City of El Segundo's investment portfolio will remain
sufficiently liquid to enable the City of El Segundo to meet all
operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.
4.3 Returns on Investment: The City of El Segundo's investment portfolio
shall be designed with the objective of attaining a return throughout
budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City of El
Segundo's investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics
of the portfolio.
5.0 Delegation of Authority:
Authority to manage the City of El Segundo's investment program is derived from
California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. Management responsibility for
the investment program is therefore delegated to the City Treasurer, who shall
establish written procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent
with this investment policy. Procedures should include reference to: safekeeping,
repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, collateral /depository agreements and
banking service contracts. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of
authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage
in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the
procedures established by the City Treasurer. The City Treasurer shall be responsible
for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the
activities of subordinate officials.

In connection with our audit of the City's financial statements for the year ending June 30, 1998,
we have completed our quarterly review of Investment Policies and Transactions for the months
of July, August and September, 1997. Our review consisted of the procedures summarized
below.
1) We reviewed the City's Investment Policy and Minutes of City Council meetings
to determine whether it was reviewed /adopted at a public meeting annually and
that it establishes safety, liquidity and yield in order as priority objectives.
2) We reviewed the City's Investment Policy to determine whether it limited reverse
repurchase agreements to 20% of the base portfolio and prohibited inverse
floaters, range notes, interest only strips derived from CMO's.
3) We reviewed the monthly investment reports to determine they included: type of
investment; issuer; maturity; par and dollar amount invested; market value and
source of valuation (for all investments except LAIF, FDIC insured accounts or
other accounts managed by another local government agency) and a statement
from the City's treasurer as to the City's compliance with its adopted investment
policy.
4) We reviewed the monthly investment reports to determine they included a
statement from the City's treasurer regarding the City's ability to meet the next
6 month's budgeted expenditures.
5) We reviewed the minutes of City Council meetings to determine if the prior
quarter's monthly investment reports were presented to the City Council within
30 days of the end of the month.
6) We selected 12 investments held as of the date of the quarterly investment report
and compared them to the maximum maturity limit and portfolio percentage limits
included in the current government code section 53601 and the City's investment
policy.

7) For the investments selected in step 6 above, we matched the information
reported (including market value) in the monthly investment reports to supporting
documentation.
8) We judgementally selected 5 investment transactions (buy, sell, maturity)
reflected in the monthly investment reports and matched the reported information
to purchase or sales confirmations, bank statements and third party custodian
receipts or reports.

The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal
accounting control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objective
of a system is to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets
are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are
executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal accounting control, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the system
to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 7,199B
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Reauest for the City Council to reject all bids for the purchase of a sixty -five foot telesquirt.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Reject awarding of contract. The Fire Department wants the option of reviewing additional service alternatives.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On December 2, 1997, the City Council approved the acquisition of a sixty -five foot telesquirt through the process
of an open bid. Bids were sent to sixteen vendors. Three bids were received. On January 29, 1998, the sealed
bids were opened by the City Clerk.
DISCUSSION:
After several months of analyzing the Fire Department's apparatus requirements, it was determined that a second
type of aerial platform could be utilized on the west side of the City. Specifically, the purchase of a sixty -five
telesquirt would fill the need.
It was also determined that by combining funds for the replacement of Engine 35 and Engine 31 there would be
ample funds available. It was estimated that the cost of the telesquirt would be approximately $420,000, thereby
returning approximately $178,000 to the General Fund.
On January 29, 1998 bids were opened in the City Clerk's office. The following is a brief recapping of the bids
received:

AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Leased Water Rights - Bid No. 98 -02.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
In light of the fact that no bids were received, authorize the Director of Public Works to negotiate with any
interested parties regarding lease of adjudicated water rights.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
Since the City does not presently have facilities to produce the water for which we possess adjudicated rights,
the City has historically leased the rights to another company /agency.
In past years, the City has received approximately $200 per acre -foot for the 953 acre -foot of ground water we
are entitled. Last year however, the City received no bids to our offering. An agreement was eventually
negotiated with Dominguez Water at a price of $95 per acre -foot.
DISCUSSION:
Staff sent out twelve (12) Requests for Bid on February 19, 1998. Bids were to be opened on March 20, 1998.
No bids were received. The lack of bids is probably due to the increased availability of reclaimed water at very
low cost.
Staff recommends the Council authorize the Director of Public Works to negotiate with any interested parties
regarding the lease of the City's adjudicated water rights.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Acceptance of the construction of a storm drain system in Sierra Street, Maple Avenue and Lomita Street,
Project No. PW 94-4 (final contract amount = $246,280.00).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $6,500.00.
2. Approve an assessment of $6,500.00 in liquidated damages for delay in completion of work.
3. Accept the work as complete.
4. Authorize the City Clerk to file the City Engineer's Notice of Completion in the County Recorder's
Office.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On May 20,1997 the City Council awarded a contract to Tri -Build Development Corporation in the amount of
$246,178.00 for the construction of a storm drain system in the 700 blocks of Sierra Street and Lomita Street,

DISCUSSION:
During construction it was discovered at two (2) locations that City sewer mains shown on the project plans
were at higher elevations than that shown on the record drawings. These sewer mains resulted in extra work
by the contractor to avoid interference with the storm drain construction for which approval of Change Order
No. 1 in the amount of $6,500.00 is being requested. The original contract included the application of slurry
seal over the entire roadway in the area in which the storm drain construction took place. Staff has
reconsidered this item of work and feels it would be better to include the slurry application in the annual slurry
seal contract which will be completed this summer. The final contract amount has been reduced by $2,800
to reflect this change.
The construction of the project was not completed on time. After allowing time delays for holidays, rain,
equipment failure and other aspects beyond the control of the contractor, staff has determined that the project
construction was twenty -six (26) days late. The terms of the contract provide for an assessment of liquidated
damages of $6,500.00.
There are several stop payment claim notices filed by Tri- Build's subcontractors regarding monies owed by Tri-
Build. The City Attorney has reviewed these claims and has advised staff that a Notice of Completion needs
to be filed to start the clock on the legal procedures to be followed to resolve these claims. All work is now
satisfactorily complete and staff recommends City Council accept the project and authorize recordation of the
City Engineer's Notice of Completion in order to commence the process of resolving the filed stop notice claims.
The total final contract amount based on measured quantities is $246,280.00.

WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons to present testimony or documentary
evidence for or against Environmental Assessment EA -350 and Amendment to Precise Plan 12 -72;
and
WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established:
1. The applicant is proposing to construct a new 65,000 square foot movie theater with 18
screens and 3,550 seats on a lot which currently has a 72,500 square foot office building
at 871 S. Nash Street. A 340 space parking structure on this lot shall remain.
-- - 00117
2. The three -story 2041 E Rosecrans Avenue office building containing approximately 83,000
square feet of office space will be renovated and converted into a 80,000 net square foot
retail and office building. Approximately 29,000 square feet on the ground floor is
designated as retail and 51,000 square feet on the second and third floor will be retail
and /or office. An exterior surface parking lot adjacent to the building will be retained. The
proposed theaters and retail/office building are located on a 3.S acre lot.
3. The 831 S. Nash Street property is located on 2.7 acres which includes a 7,401 square foot
access easement for the adjacent theater parcel. The site is improved with a vacant two -
story office building containing approximately 105,000 square feet with two levels of
parking above. The building is proposed to be demolished and a new 190 space surface
parking lot will be built in its place.
4. The two parcels of land will be reconfigured through a Lot Line Adjustment, which will
also eliminate the access easement between the 831 S. Nash Street and 871 Nash S. Street
buildings. The resulting FAR for the proposed project on the new lot is 0.56.
S. The nine -level parking structure containing approximately 1,688 parking spaces, located
at 870 S. Nash Street, will be connected to the plaza area between the retail/office and
theater buildings by an approximately 2S foot wide crosswalk with a pedestrian activated
signal across Nash Street at a position north of the northern most exit driveway of the
parking structure at 870 S. Nash Street and the driveway immediately north of the parking
structure. This parking structure serves an office building during the day and will provide
joint parking for the theater and retail/office during evening, weekend, and holiday hours.
6. The area surrounding the project site is highly urbanized. Land uses are comprised of
medium -scale (e.g. three to seven -story) office, commercial and industrial uses. A five -story
office building, nine -level parking structure and a three -story office building are located
within Continental Park immediately to the east of the site along Nash Street. An industrial
air processing plant, Air Products Inc., is located to the west of the site. Immediately to the
north is an Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad right -of -way with tracks leading to the
Chevron Oil Refinery about 1/3 of a mile to the west. Beyond the railroad tracks is vacant
land zoned for heavy industrial purposes. The Manhattan Marketplace Retail Complex and
a five -story office building housing a credit union are located to the south across
Rosecrans Avenue. Beyond the credit union building is the Radisson Hotel with golf and
tennis facilities. To the south -west of the project across Rosecrans Avenue lies the
Manhattan Village Shopping Center. Within Manhattan Village is a 6 screen Mann Theaters
with 1200 seats. There are no residential uses located in the immediate project vicinity.
The nearest residential uses are approximately 1,000 feet south of the project, adjacent
to the Radisson Hotel golf course. Topographically. the project vicinity is generally level
to rolling terrain and is currently developed except for north of the property. Landscaping
within the project locale is associated with the developed commercial and office
properties.
7. The existing buildings, uses and development standards were approved under a Precise
Plan (PP -12) in 1972. The precise plan was amended twice to account for changing uses of
the property. Precise Plan 73 -3 increased floor area and altered the design of the parking
facilities. A required deceleration lane on Rosecrans Avenue was eliminated as part of
Precise Plan 74 -10 to accommodate a new drive -thru teller for a now vacated bank in the
2041 E Rosecrans Avenue building. Approval of a Precise Plan requires findings that the
Precise Plan is consistent with the General Plan.
8. The proposed project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In
accordance with State guidelines and local requirements. a Draft Initial Study and Mitigated
Negative Declaration was prepared and circulated for interdepartmental and affected
agency review. No significant adverse impacts were identified which could not be mitigated
to an insignificant level, including impacts to traffic /circulation. risk of upset, air quality
and public services.
9. The Fiscal Impact Analysis, utilizing the City's Fiscal Impact Model, indicates that the
project will generate a fiscal surplus for the City of between $636,300 to S 1,067,200 during
its first five years of operation depending on the mix of office and retail in the 2041 E
Rosecrans Avenue building, after consideration of City service costs.

NOW, 'IHfREFORF. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: AFTER CONSIDERING THE ABOVE FACTS, TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE PRESENTED
AT THE HEARING, AND STUDY OF PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EA-
350 AND AMENDMENT TO PRECISE PLAN 12 -72, THE CITY COUNCIL MAKES THE
FOLLOWING FINDINGS FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT AND AMENDMENT TO
PRECISE PLAN 12 -72:
The City Council hereby makes the following findings related to the environmental effects:
The Draft Initial Study was made available to all local and affected agencies and for public
review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law. The Initial Study
concluded that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, the adoption of mitigation measures would reduce these effects and impacts
to a less than significant level. The potentially significant effects identified in the Initial
Study were increased demand for public services, vehicular /pedestrian conflicts on Nash
Street, a reduced Level of Service (LOS) at the intersection of Rosecrans Avenue and
Aviation Boulevard, increased parking demand, exposure to asbestos during the demolition
of the 831 S. Nash Street building, potential discovery of previously unknown cutlural
resources, and construction related fugitive dust emissions. The impacts on public services
were reduced to a level of insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in Conditions
1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 of Section 3 of this Resolution. The impacts on vehicular /pedestrian
conflicts were reduced to a level of insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in
Conditions 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 of Section 3 of this Resolution. The impacts on the
Level of Service at the intersection of Rosecrans Avenue and Aviation Boulevard were
reduced to a level of insignificance by a prior land dedication by the applicant which will
enable the intersection to be widened and the Level of Service improved. Therefore; no
further mitigation measures for this effect are required. The impacts of parking demand
were reduced to a level of insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in Conditions
5 and 28 of Section 3 of this Resolution. The potential impacts from exposure to asbestos
during demolition were reduced to a level of insignificance by mitigation measures set
forth in Condition 25 of Section 3 of this Resolution. The impacts of the potential
discovery of previously unknown cutlural resources were reduced to a level of
insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in Condition 26 of Section 3 of this
Resolution. The effect of construction related fugitive dust emissions were reduced to a
level of insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in Condition 30 of Section 3
of this Resolution. The Initial Study recommended that a Mitigated Negative Declaration
of Environmental Impact be prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), and
2. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the
potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife
depends, because the project is in a built -out urban environment; and
3. That the City Council thereby authorizes and directs the Director of Planning and Building
Safety to file with the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and de minimus
finding pursuant to AB 3158 and the California Code of Regulations. Within ten (10) days
of the approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts, the
applicant shall submit to the City of El Segundo a fee of S2S.00 required by the County of
Los Angeles for the filing of this certificate along with the required Notice of
Determination. As approved in AB 31 S8, the statutory requirements of CEQA will not be
met and no vesting shall occur until this condition Is met and the required notices and
fees are filed with the County.
The City Council hereby finds that the proposed project and Amendment to Precise Plan 12 -72
are consistent with the General Plan based on the following:

NACOUNCIUPW-APR07.03 (Tuesday 3/31/98 Cc@*p 7
DISCUSSION:
The C*County Agreement requires the City to be responsible for relocation of utilities interfering with the storm
drain construction at the expense of owners of the utilities. There is an existing 8" City water main in Franklin
Avenue that needs to be relocated before the storm drain construction can be commenced. Since the City is
the owner of the water main, the County has required the City to bear the expense of its relocation. The
estimated cost of this relocation by the County's storm drain contractor is $54,382.00.
The fiscal year 1996 -97 Capital Improvement Project for relocation of City water mains is nearing completion.
Staff estimates that there are sufficient water enterprise funds remaining in this project to fund the relocation
of the water main for the Arena Drain Project.
Staff is requesting City Council authorization to transfer $54,382.00 from the funds remaining in the fiscal year
1996 -97 Capital Improvement Project for replacement of water mains and to utilize these funds to reimburse
the County for the cost of relocating the City water main.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 7, 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Adoption of specifications for replacement of existing underground storage tanks and installation of a fuel
management system for the City Maintenance Facility at 150 Illinois Street.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Adopt specifications and authorize staff to advertise the project for receipt of bids.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The adopted fiscal year 1996 -97 Capital Improvement Program included a project to replace existing
underground storage tanks and fueling system at the City Maintenance Facility at 150 Illinois Street. Currently
there are sbc (6) single wall steel underground storage tanks (2 - 10,000 gallon gasoline tanks, 1 - 7,500 gallon
diesel tank,1 -1,000 gallon new oil tank, 1 - 250 gallon paint thinner tank and 1 -1,000 gallon waste oil tank)
that do not comply with current State law pertaining to underground storage tanks. According to the regulations,
all existing single wall underground tanks should be either retrofitted with secondary containment or replaced
with new double wall tanks. State law also requires that owners of existing underground tanks comply with the
law by December 22, 1998. The law provides for civil penalties of between $500 and $5,000 per day of
violation for each tank.
The City Council on October 7, 1997 authorized staff to issue a service request to the Los Angeles County
Department of Public Works in the amount of $296,132.00 for design and construction of the project. The
service request was recommended by the County staff as the document to authorize the County to proceed
with the project.

DISCUSSION:
Pursuantto City Council approval, staff issued a service request to the County. The County counsel directed
County staff that a formal City- County agreement, rather than a service request, was the appropriate document
to implement the project. The draft agreement provided by the County was found to be unacceptable to the
City, particularly with regard to liability insurance provisions. Subsequent discussions with the County did not
result in a mutually acceptable agreement and staff is now recommending implementing the project through
a design -build process in order to complete the project before December 22, 1998.
The project scope provides for removal of all underground tanks and associated piping and replacing them with
new double wall tanks and leak monitoring devices that comply with State law. Five (5) of the existing six (6)
tanks will be removed and replaced and the existing paint thinner tank will be eliminated since this product is
no longer used in the Maintenance Facility. The scope also includes replacing the existing fifteen (15) year old
Gasboy fuel management system which is outdated and difficult to maintain due to non - availability of parts.
The estimated total cost of the project including inspection and construction contingencies is $296,000.00.
Staff is requesting City Council adoption of specifications and authorization to advertize the project for receipt
of bids.

AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Approve Change Order No. 1 to Insituform Southwest, Inc., in the amount of $30,368.75 for the repair of an
existing 12" sanitary sewer main in an easement west of Main Street between Oak Avenue and Maple Avenue.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve Change Order No. 1.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On December 16, 1997, the City Council awarded a contract to Insituform Southwest, Inc., in the amount of
$44,850.00 for the trenchless rehabilitation of a 12" sewer main in an easement west of Main Street between
Oak Avenue and Maple Avenue. The trenchless method of rehabilitation was recommended by staff to install
a lining material inside the sewer main without the need for accessing the main by excavating within an
easement located between private properties.
Prior to the installation of the lining material, Insituform conducted a video inspection of the sewer main. The
inspection indicated that an existing sewer chimney had partially collapsed into the sewer main and could
eventually cause a sewer blockage. The lining material can not be installed before the main is repaired by
open excavation at the connection point.

DISCUSSION:
Insituform specializes in trenchless rehabilitation and does not perform open excavation sewer repair. Staff
discussed the work with three (3) other sewer repair contractors. Only two (2) of these three (3) contractors
agreed to perform the work. Insituform has agreed to have the repair work accomplished by the contractor who
provided the lower bid. Insituform's cost for the Change Order is $30,368.75.
The 12" City sewer main is located approximately six (6) feet from the exterior wall of the building at 745 Main
Street and at a depth of approximately eighteen (18) feet. The shoring support for the trench was designed by
a California Registered Civil Engineer based on soil boring tests at the repair location and taking into
consideration the proximity of the building to the trench.
The sewer lining work will be completed after the Changer Order work is accomplished. Staff is requesting City
Council approval of Change Order No. 1.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: City Manager
AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Authorize payment in the amount of $10,295 to Astrum Energy Services, LLC
for the tasks it has undertaken pursuant to the contract and close the contract.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize payment in the amount of s1v;zy:) totistrum energy
Services, LLC for the tasks it has undertaken pursuant to the agreement between the City and Astrum
which was approved by the City Council on August 5, 1997, and close the project.
DISCUSSION: At its August 5, 1997 meeting the City Council authorized a study by Astrum Energy
Services, LLC to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs in light of the then recent deregulation of
electrical energy by the CPUC. The focus of the study was the identification of aggregation
opportunities that would benefit the residential and business consumers located in the city. It was the
feeling at that time that through aggregation of load the residents and businesses could realize a savings
in the cost of their electrical energy. Astrum looked at the opportunities and determined that there are
opportunities for businesses to save on the cost of their electric energy. The opportunities are not,
however, in the aggregation of business and residential loads. The real savings would be realized, in
Astrum's opinion, by providing a vehicle for business to realize savings similar to those that residents
are realizing by the issuance of bonds by the state to pay utility company stranded costs.
As described on pages 3 and 15 of Astrum's report dated December 15, 1997, rates for large commercial
and industrial consumers are frozen until 2002 and in the interim a significant portion of their energy
costs will be used to recover utility company generation costs that are not competitive in the new
industry structure. Astrum's position is that if industry had a vehicle to prepay these costs, they could
realize a savings equal to those that are being realized by residents and small businesses. Verbally,
Astrum indicates the vehicle to accomplish this goal would be tax -free municipal bonds.
To implement such a program would take the commitment of the business community and the issuance
of debt by the City. To date, interest in such an arrangement has not been demonstrated.

BACKGROUND
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Beginning January 1, 1998, all electric consumers in El Segundo can
competitively purchase electricity.
Beginning January 1, 1998, residential consumers in El Segundo will receive
a 10% ($1.2 million) annual electric rate decrease.
Municipalities are positioning themselves and their communities to take
advantage of lower electric rates and improved service benefits in the
evolving competitive electric market.
Forming a community aggregation program provides the opportunity to
annually reduce electric rates by an additional $4.1 million for residents,
businesses and industries in El Segundo
2 00150
CALIFORNIA ELECTRIC UTILITY RESTRUCTURING LEGISLATION
Under State law and directives being issued by the California Public Utilities
Commission ( "CPUC "), beginning January 1, 1998, investor -owned utilities can
no longer sell the electricity they generate directly to electric consumers in
California. Instead, the utilities must sell power to a new entity called the Power
Exchange. Electric consumers who choose to continue to purchase electricity
from a utility will be served through utility purchases from the Power Exchange.
Also on January 1, 1998, utility rates for residential and small commercial
customers will be reduced 10 %. Rates for large commercial and industrial
customers, who purchase energy from the utility, will be frozen until 2002.
Between now and 2002, a significant portion of electric consumers' payments
will be used to recover the utilities' generation costs that are not competitive in
the new industry structure. This competition transition charge (which is
commonly known as the CTC) may represent 40% of a consumer's total
payment. The bulk of CTC payments for large commercial and industrial
customers will end no later than March 31, 2002. Therefore, at the end of this
transition period, large energy consumers can anticipate the most significant
reduction in costs.
During the transition, customers who want to reduce their electricity bills will be
able to contract directly with Energy Service Providers to reduce their cost below
the price set by the Power Exchange. For example, the California Manufacturers
Association recently entered into an agreement with Montana Power Co. that will
guarantee an 8% discount from the wholesale- market price for electricity.

CALIFORNIA MUNICIPALITIES ARE POSITIONING THEMSELVES TO
LOWER ENERGY COSTS THROUGH THE COMPETITIVE MARKETPLACE
Numerous aggregated groups are in varying stages of investigating or
establishing the necessary infrastructure to take advantage of competition in
California's new electric industry. Some models embody geographically defined
aggregations of customers, while others are based on the affinity of the end -
users statewide. Some examples include:
CITY -OWNED FACILITIES:
The City of San Jose has selected New Energy Ventures (NEV) to supply
electricity. The City's cost of electricity shall be the smaller of: (i) 95% of the
cost that the City would have paid had the electricity been provided by Pacific
Gas & Electric; or (ii) NEV's cost of energy plus 35% of the difference of NEV
and PG &E's cost of energy.
The City of San Diego purchased 218 gigawatt -hours ($18 million) from its
current electric supplier. In July 1997, the City issued a Request for
Qualification, followed by a Request for Proposals, to provide electric services
for all of its facilities. Potential bidders were asked to supply reliable power from
one to four years at a price lower than that to be obtained from the Power
Exchange. The City is currently evaluating these responses. The City Council
is scheduled to approve the contract in January 1998, and the notice to proceed
will be effective February 1, 1998. Energy savings will be reinvested in the
program to generate additional savings.
The California State Department of General Services (DGS) is in the process of
negotiating a power supply agreement for all State facilities. DGS plans to offer
the same pricing structure to all municipalities.
CONSORTIUM:
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) formed a regional powers
authority to supply the energy requirements of their members. Sixty agencies
have agreed to purchase their energy requirements from the four suppliers that
ABAG has selected.
School Districts and the Community College Districts have formed two Joint
Powers Agencies and entered into a "Master Agreement" with Southern Energy,
Inc. (Southern) to offer lower utility costs to each of its members. Southern has
guaranteed that the members will have a fixed price option that will be equal to
or less than the published rate available to school facilities by their current
4
6,015"")
supplier. If Southern does not offer such a fixed price option, the member may
choose to receive electric service from their current supplier.
The Association of California Water Districts has formed a "New Energy Buyers
Alliance" with its members and entered into a "Master Fixed Price Agreement"
with New Energy Ventures (NEV). NEV guarantees that the member's cost of
electricity shall be equal to 95% of the cost that the member would have paid for
equivalent quantity and usage patterns had the electricity been provided by the
member's current supplier.
COMMUNITY AGGREGATORS:
The Cities of Atwater, Dinuba, Dos Palos, Gustine, Livingston, Los Banos,
Merced, Newman, Parlier, Palm Springs, Selma, South San Francisco and the
County of Merced are in the process of becoming aggregators for their
communities. In January 1998, the Cities of Palm Springs and South San
Francisco will publish rate schedules and formally solicit customers.

FEASIBILITY STUDY
POTENTIAL SERVICES TO BE OFFERED BY THE
EL SEGUNDO COMMUNITY AGGREGATION PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
In the effort to deregulate California's electric utility industry, regulators will allow
new competitive options in two primary areas of the industry: supply of energy
(generation) and customer contact services (e.g., billing and metering).
Restructuring thus provides customers the opportunity to choose from
competitive energy suppliers or service providers that may offer lower prices. In
addition to competition, electric costs may be lowered by taking advantage of the
synergies between multiple customer load profiles and delivery requirements.
For example, complementary loads could be combined, such as combining off -
peak uses like street lighting with on -peak uses like small commercial
businesses. As a community aggregator endeavors to achieve electric cost
savings, many other value -added services exist that may expand the competitive
opportunities and cost reduction benefits available to power pool members. The
cost savings from these other value -added options may even total more than the
reductions achieved by simply procuring lower cost electric generation alone.
A community aggregation program provides opportunities and requires actions
to deliver benefits to the community. First understanding, then evaluating the
variety of options is the best way to assure that maximum benefits from the new
electric energy opportunities are achieved.
The initial step in this feasibility study is to provide basic understanding of a
community aggregator's options. After specific customer load information is
collected, compiled and analyzed, the process will focus on selecting and
prioritizing certain strategies, and then establishing target objectives and the
appropriate organizational structure to implement each chosen option. The data
collection process for the community is currently underway. The resulting
electric load characteristics and profiles will be key in the selection and
prioritization of opportunities.
This study describes specific services which ASTRUM will provide to the El
Segundo community aggregation program. Included with each program is a
brief discussion of the type of services, benefits and methods of implementing
the service. The classes of services include: (i) demand -side; and (ii) supply -
side options. Demand -side options are implemented on the customer's side of
the meter and influence the amount of energy used and /or the maximum amount
of demand in kilowatts (kW). For example, energy conservation or efficiency
measures are considered demand -side options. Supply -side services are those
6
0015
that pertain to the supply of electricity before it reaches the customer's meter
(e.g., electric rates, power reliability, power quality, etc.).
PROCURE COMPETITIVELY PRICED ELECTRICITY
Steps to achieve lower rates through community aggregation involve identifying
customers and load levels, developing requests for supplier qualifications and
competitive supply proposals, evaluating power proposals, negotiating required
contracts between the community aggregation consumers and energy service
provider(s), and managing the ongoing procurement and scheduling of suppliers
in response to the changing needs of the consumers.
IMPLEMENT ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION MEASURES
Implementing energy efficiency and conservation measures are other methods
that reduce energy costs.
Prior to competition, many utilities devoted significant funding and resources to
customer assistance programs for energy efficiency and conservation. For the
past decade, these investments, which allowed existing power suppliers to serve
more customers, were less expensive than constructing new power supply
projects. AB 1890 mandates a minimum level of continued investment in these
programs through March, 2002. It is estimated that approximately 3% of total
electric costs will be dedicated to funding public goods programs, which include
demand -side management and energy efficiency measures. The responsibility
for managing the implementation of energy efficiency funding by regulated
utilities (approximately $220 million per year) lies with the CPUC.
ASTRUM will help implement energy efficiencies through the use of performance
contractors; who help customers establish programs, and implement measures
that are paid for through the energy savings achieved.
CAPTURE THE BENEFITS OF LOAD MANAGEMENT AND TARIFF SHIFTING
To take full advantage of load management and tariff shifting options to lower
energy costs requires accurate end -use energy information (customer specific
time of use data). Obtaining and evaluating detailed load information can be a
time - intensive effort, but it is essential in order to realize these benefits in the
longer term.
For utility customers with time -of -use (TOU) meters, the price of electricity is
directly related to when it is used. As would be expected, prices are highest
during those times when demand is the highest. Typically, this would be on
weekdays between noon and 6 p.m. This time differentiated cost of electricity
can be reflected both in demand (kW) and energy (kWh) charges. The rate
'001.55
schedules available to any customer reflect various factors including the
maximum size of load, the type of energy use and the voltage delivery level.
Another tariff option is to take advantage of real -time pricing (RTP). As part of
restructuring, the utility will offer more RTP programs, expressly electric rates
that vary by hour and reflect the hourly prices of the Power Exchange.
Customers whose demand is greater than 50 kW are required to have hourly -
read meters and their power rates would reflect the changing cost of power
supplies over the course of a day. By controlling load, particularly usage during
high priced, on -peak hours, a customer may reduce electric costs.
By consolidating aggregated loads of different customers and /or closely
controlling energy demands of individual customers, there are additional
opportunities and flexibility to qualify for rate schedules with lower electricity
rates.
IMPROVED METERING COMMUNICATION
Currently, metering is included in the consumer's bill for electricity. In the future,
competing energy service providers will be allowed to offer metering services
that are now provided by Edison. Competitive service providers are particularly
interested in this option because it may allow direct contact with the end -use
customer on a regular basis.
Metering costs represents only a small percentage of the total utility bill. The net
savings, with a competitive supplier are expected to be only a few tenths of a
percentage. Thus, the larger value of this option may be in the other services
which could be consolidated with energy billing and management services.
However, beyond cost savings, there is the opportunity to add value to energy
service if a provider can offer a meter or metering communication that allows for
the exchange of information and offering of products and services in addition to
retail electric service. Detailed real -time energy information can allow customers
to respond to changing price signals and match their exact energy needs with
the more tailored services. (As discussed further below, many of these
"consolidated services" may extend well beyond the energy industry.)
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT CONSOLIDATED SUPPLIER BILLING SYSTEMS
Billing, which is directly linked with metering services, is also currently included
in the consumer's rates for electric service. In the future, consumers will have
three options:
8
0056
• Consolidated Supplier Billing: The supplier would provide a
consolidated bill to the customer with the distribution company's billing
charge included.
• Consolidated Distribution Company Billing: The distribution company
would place the supplier's energy charge on a distribution bill.
• Dual billing: The energy supplier and distribution company would bill
separately for their own services.
A consolidated supplier billing would result in direct cost savings if the billing
could be provided at a lower cost than from the original provider. It also provide
the advantages of dealing with a single bill. The community aggregator could
also consider the billing of other utility services. A consolidated bill for electricity
with water and sanitary sewer could potentially yield cost savings.
PROVIDE ANCILLARY SERVICES
Ancillary services, which currently are included in the consumer's bill for
electricity, are intended to assure that the electric supply network remains in a
constant state of balance. For example, if the frequency of the power system
shifts only minutely from the norm of 60 cycles per second or the nominal
voltage in a transmission line strays, extensive damage can be caused to
sensitive electrical equipment, including computers and electrical motors.
Ancillary services are directed at assuring the integrity of the entire electric
system is protected, and includes such services as load following, energy
imbalance management, reactive power /voltage control, loss compensation,
scheduling and dispatch.
Ancillary services will fall under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
jurisdiction. This will be a competitive service, and direct access customers may
be able to obtain these services at a lower cost than is currently charged. If the
costs are not less, the ISO will provide and charge for them.
ESTABLISH SYSTEMS TO MONITOR AND ASSURE POWER RELIABILITY AND QUALITY
Reliability is a measure of a utility's or generator's ability to deliver uninterrupted
electric service to its customers. Reliability is measured in terms of the
frequency of outages and /or frequency and duration. One measure is a function
of both the frequency and duration. The value of continuity of service varies from
customer to customer, and can be a function of time of day, day of week,
season, or duration and frequency. Power outages are very infrequently caused
by failure of the generation resource or the transmission system. Approximately
97% of outages are caused at the distribution level due to local equipment
failures.
9 C015
With the new electric utility structure, reliability standards will be maintained by
the ISO. No matter which energy supplier the power pool chooses, power
reliability should not vary substantially from existing levels since the distribution
will be provided from same entity prior to deregulation. Reliability can be
enhanced by providing additional circuits to a given load, or area or by providing
additional generation located near the customer. Various programs to mitigate
local distribution related outages include strategic location of poles and towers,
attention to tree trimming, etc.
One option for power purchasing pools, is to place a value on reliability and
evaluate the loads that can be interrupted. Rates for interruptible service are
lower than rates for firm service. The ability to curtail loads and pay lower rates
for interruptible service will provide significant cost savings.
Power quality is a function of frequency stability, voltage stability /range of
variation, flicker, harmonics, etc. Each power quality problem is unique to each
affected customer and typically requires a customized solution. Examples of
equipment that can solve power quality problems include static and rotating
reactive power compensators, harmonic filters, motor generator sets,
asynchronous links, etc.
The value of the solutions will depend on the customer, the particular business it
is in and, in some cases, feasibility and location to alternative options.
PROCURE COMPETITIVELY PRICED NATURAL GAS SERVICES
With the establishment of a community aggregation infrastructure, participants
would be postured to reduce overhead costs and provide natural gas purchasing
services on behalf of the community. As with electric purchasing, an
aggregation of gas consumers would be able to exercise maximum leverage in
negotiating for lower cost gas supplies. Additionally, the community aggregation
program could manage the combined gas load and associated services (in
particular balancing services that could become expensive for individual
customers) to achieve further cost savings.
OPEN NEW VISTAS FOR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
With continuing development of the electronic communications industry and its
applications to increasingly diverse customers, several municipalities and other
organizations have begun building communication networks (such as fiber optics
and /or coaxial cable systems). Such a system has the potential to provide
automatic meter reading, telephone services, cable TV service, Internet services
and access to other public programs and services. Such a system could also be
used to control and monitor electrical and water facilities, link all city facilities
10 GO15F
(city offices, libraries, schools, hospitals, etc.), and provide businesses with
broadband switched circuits capable of carrying voice, data, and video
communications. Glasgow Electric in Kentucky, Los Angeles Department of
Water and Power, and the City of Austin, Texas are among a dozen other
organizations that have taken steps toward area wide communications systems.
The cooperative infrastructure that is under consideration for the community
aggregation program could serve as the basis for providing these additional
services at competitive prices. This would, of course, require an evaluation of
the community's interests and needs, as well as a comparison of the alternatives
and cost of such services.
LEVERAGE TAX - EXEMPT MUNICIPAL FINANCING
Public sector entities have a unique ability to leverage funding for programs from
pooled financial resources at very advantageous rates. Government entities
may be able to bring both of these financing benefits to the community
aggregation program. The value of this option will be directly related to the need
for capital investments or borrowing that will enhance the value of the community
aggregation program or assist in the implementation of cost saving energy
measures.
A municipal aggregator has the ability to issue tax - exempt debt. Interest rates
for tax - exempt debt are lower than the cost of capital (debt and equity) for
Edison. The community aggregation program could engage in creative
financing. For instance, it could issue tax - exempt debt to fund energy efficient
equipment and facilities for its members. The power pool could issue tax - exempt
debt to buy interval meters and communication systems. Debt could be used to
"pre -pay" competitive transition charges and the capacity portion of the energy
charges. All of these creative financing options would be evaluated to determine
if there are cost savings to the local governments.
PROCURE RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY POWER
Interest in the development and maintenance of renewable energy supplies has
been growing over the past decade and California's electric industry
restructuring legislation, AB 1890, contains significant provisions supporting the
operation and development of renewable energy resource technologies. AB
1890 contains a provision that allows customers to receive a rebate for the CTC
charges that will otherwise apply to their purchases from renewable suppliers.
Thus, in assembling a power supply portfolio, one of the opportunities is to
create a portfolio that is composed exclusively of renewable power supplies.
The funding for this program, which is administered by the California Energy
Commission, comes from $540 million that will be collected by investor -owned
11 0015'?
utilities during the period 1998 to 2002, and is to support existing, new and
emerging renewable energy generation technologies. On a customer specific
basis, the rebate has limitations of 1.5 ¢ per kWh and $1000 per year.
There is an additional opportunity if any of the participants own renewable
resources. Another part of AB 1890 provides for direct operating subsidies for
renewable resources. It is plausible that the combination of these funding
mechanisms would allow a community aggregation program to assemble a
renewable resource portfolio while also reducing the overall cost of energy
services to its constituents.
Finally, a power purchase pool may elect to include in its portfolio a certain
percentage of renewable energy as a matter of environmental policy.

POTENTIAL ANNUAL SAVINGS FROM LOWER ELECTRICITY COSTS
FOR RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND INDUSTRY IN EL SEGUNDO
LOWER GENERATION COSTS:
Energy Service Providers are offering pricing structures that are indexed to a
percentage discount from the price the consumer would have paid for equivalent
quantity and usage patterns had the electricity been provided by the consumer's
current energy supplier.

LOWER COMPETITIVE TRANSITION CHARGES (CTC):
In accordance with AB 1890, to provide a 10% rate reduction for residential and
small commercial customers of California's' investor -owned utilities, a special
purpose trust created by the California Infrastructure and Economic Development
Bank recently issued $6 billion in tax - exempt bonds. The bonds were rated Triple -A.
The maturities ranged from one to ten years. The weighted average yield for the
$2.5 billion, issued on behalf of Edison, was 6.38 percent. The bonds were sold to
refinance the utilities' more expensive cost of capital. The same potential exists to:
(i) "pre -pay" the CTC for industrial and commercial customers; (ii) refinance the
utilities' more expensive cost of capital; and (iii) lower the cost of electricity.

industrial and commercial customers within El Segundo $ 66 million

FINANCING ENERGY SUPPLY COSTS:
A municipality's cost of capital is significantly less than an Energy Service Provider.
These interest rate savings provide the opportunity to issue tax - exempt debt and
"pre -pay" the capacity portion of the energy charges. The savings would lower the
cost of electricity.

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I am requesting your support in a vote scheduled for the April 7`h Council
Meeting. Hughes Electronics is currently working with Bright Horizons, a
nationwide leader in childcare centers, to develop a consortium center for
our employees who live and /or work in the El Segundo area. This center
will also be available to other El Segundo sponsor company employees
and the community. We have undertaken this project because we believe
it provides a valuable opportunity for our employees and the businesses
and citizens of El Segundo.
A site has been located at the corner of Douglas and El Segundo
Boulevard that will accommodate our needs. This site, however, is not
currently zoned as a daycare center.
A proposal to change the zoning was presented to the Planning
Commission on March 25. The Commission approved the request and it
is now being forwarded to you for review and approval. I appreciate your
consideration and support of this zoning request.
Sincerely,
Donald L. Cromer
