Approwmately 50 businesses are inspected by the County for various industrial waste provisions and pay the County industrial waste fees established through City ordinance These fees are then used to help reimburse the County for costs to implement the program Based on previous records, the total amount of costs annually recovered is approwmately $40,000 00 This program provides benefits to both the City and businesses by potentially accelerating the permit process through local implementation and elimination of multiple inspections In addition, fees used to reimburse the County for industrial waste inspections would be redirected to the City There is no additional staff required to implement the program, but may require anew or modified permittee to pay for consultation services separate from annual permit revenue ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1 Copy of 1988 Agreement 2 Copy of Draft Letter to the County FISCAL IMPACT: (Check one) Operating Budget: XX Capital Improv.

Council Reports AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consider Agreement with Chamber of Commerce regarding the Stepping Stone Project and receive and file Information respecting the Chamber's marketing plan for the future sales and Installation of the Stepping Stones RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: City Council approve Stepping Stone Agreement and receive and file Chamber's marketing plan INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: On December 15, 1998 the Council appointed a sub - committee to meet with the Chamber of Commerce and interested citizens to review the status of the Stepping Stone Project approved by the City Council in June, 1996 The main areas of concern addressed by the Council were the potential location of the Stepping Stones and the process for installing the Stones Additionally, some concern was expressed about the potential liabilities associated with the Stones DISCUSSION: The City Attorney prepared an Agreement for this matter which was transmitted to the sub - committee on April 16, 1999 The Chamber on April 22, 1999 responded with a letter and proposed "Summary of Agreement" Copies of these documents are attached The City Attorney met with the Council Sub - Committee to review the Chamber's position The main difference between the City's and the Chamber's position was the Inclusion of indemnity and insurance provisions in the City's version of the Agreement After discussion, the Council Sub - committee determined that the risk associated with the City's maintenance of the Stones was not significant enough in light of the public purpose and benefit of the project to necessitate the indemnity and insurance provisions in the Agreement The proposed Agreement only allows Stones to be installed on certain portions of sidewalks located adjacent to West Franklin, West Grand, and West Holly Avenues, and Richmond and Main Streets The Chamber has proposed a marketing plan for completing the Stones on these sidewalks which is attached to the Chamber's April 22 correspondence (attached) The Agreement also provides that the Chamber will present the City with prepared Stones, an agreement executed by the purchaser of the Stones, and $6 00 for each Stone to be installed, prior to the holes being cored in the sidewalks for such Stones These provisions appear to satisfy the main concerns raised respecting the project The Public Works Department will inspect the Stones quarterly for purposes of determining that the Stones remain properly placed in the sidewalks ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Agreement and supporting documentation FISCAL IMPACT: Operating Budget: Capital Improvement Budget: Amount Requested: ProjectlAccount Budget: Project/Account Balance: Date: Account Number: Project Phase: Appropriation Required: No ACTION TAKEN: N COUNCIUMAY1 B-04 DOC (Friday 5/14M 11 00 AM) STEPPING STONE AGREEMENT This Stepping Stone Agreement ( "Agreement ") is made this _ day of April, 1999 by and between the City of El Segundo ( "City "), a California municipal corporation, and the El Segundo Chamber of Commerce ( "Chamber "), a California non -

depict the heritage and history of El Segundo Enthusiasm was generated by "Hand Print Alley" where citizens and their families could place their handprint on the pedestrian alley between the Bank of America building and the Jewelry Source A path of stepping stones was to be laid out along the Heritage Walk Citizens were to be offered the chance to purchase these stone and memorialize their family members or their achievements along the walk The stones were to carry the Blue Butterfly theme On June 21, 1996, the President of the Chamber, Bob Jensen, wrote a letter to the City Council requesting

Attached is a list of communities and elected officials, including mayors, city managers, and police chiefs, who have already signed resolutions or official letters opposing the rate increase. These have been sent to the California Public Utilities Commission. The number of community leaders joining in opposition to this outrageous consumer gouging continues to grow. In an ongoing effort to address any further questions your staff or constituents may have concerning this important consumer issue, I enclose additional materials. I have been apprised by many community and other consumer activists that SBC/Pac Bell lobbyists and Political consultants have been paying personal visits in response to our efforts. It is my hope that the enclosed materials will help answer any further questions you may have; or, offer clarification of this issue that will likely result from these personal visits.

The CPUC made SBC/Pac Bell send out a second round of notices to their customers after it was discovered that they omitted the ceiling of $1 10 SBC/Pac Bell knows that it will be easier for them to raise the 411 rates to $1 10 if the CPUC grants them a ceiling of $1 10 The CPUC does not require SBC/Pac Bell to og through the public hearing process again in order to raise the rate up to $1 10 They simply have to file a petition with the CPUC and can raise their rates within thirty days, providing they get the $1 10 ceiling now SBC/Pac Bell claims that it offers them future "pricing flexibility" but the only flexibility it offers is the ability for SBC/Pac Bell to raise rates without having to go through the entire CPUC process again If they truly only want to increase the rate to 50¢, then ask them to amend their petitions and make the ceiling fifty cents SBCIPac Bell claims MCI, AT &T and Sprint can raise prices virtually at will, but SBCIPac Bell cannot FACT What SBC/Pac Bell fails to mention is the reason MCI, AT &T and Sprint are all involved in long distance services and face extensive competition between each other That is why the long distance service providers are not required to get approval from the CPUC SBC/Pac Bell on the other hand controls over 97% of their service market, making them a monopoly That is why they are required to go to the CPUC for approval before they can raise rates SBCIPac Bell claims they are losing money on the 411 service. FACT According to the San Diego Union - Tribune (August 22, 1998) SBC/Pac Bell had a net income of $573 million dollars for the first six months of 1998 If the last six months were comparable that would put SBC/Pac Bell's net income for 1998 at $1 billion Sound like they are losing money? According to the Utilities Reform Network (TURN), it costs SBC/Pac Bell less than 25¢ (the current rate) for each call SBCIPac Bell will point out that Cal fornians for Telecommunications Choice receives funding from the long distance companies. FACT CTC does receive funding from several long distance companies that want to offer consumers a choice in local service CTC has never denied that it receives this funding CTC is a coalition of various groups, which also includes taxpayer organizations, veteran groups and ethnic support groups How does CTC's funding impact the affect of the arguments CTC and other groups, such as TURN have voiced regarding this rate increase? It doesn't This is simply a smoke screen that SBC/Pac Bell is using to avoid addressing the issue The Los Angeles Times, The San Diego Union- Tribune and the San Francisco Chronicle have all editorialized against the rate increase Is their funding source relevant to their position? iele��mmani�atio�s POLICY STATEMENT Principles Californians for Telecommunications Choice (CTC) is a non -profit consumer and business advocacy group committed to the promotion of real competition and free enterprise in California telecommunications services We believe that all customers will benefit from the lower rates and advanced technology local phone competition provides Californians for Telecommumcations Choice is working to create a statewide network of consumers and businesses who promote competition in the local phone market and encourage diligent oversight by our elected officials and regulatory authori- ties to guarantee implementation of local competition and consumer choice for all Californians As a non - partisan, grass roots coalition we believe that 1. For California to remain competitive in the global marketplace and to expand the econ- omy and provide for new lobs, our elected officials and the California Public Utilities Commission must guarantee choice in local phone service for all Cahforma consumers and businesses 2. A truly open and competitive phone marketplace is the only way to ensure lower prices, advanced technology, and superior service for all consumers 3. To end monopoly control of local phone service, the current local phone company monopoly, Pacific Bell, must end the numerous delays and stalling tactics it has used to prevent customers from easily switching to the local service provider of their choice 4. The only incentive for local phone companies to end monopoly practices that limit competition remains the prospect of entering the long distance market after they have fully opened their local markets Absent this incentive, Californians will remain under local monopoly control and never experience the benefits of real consumer choice Objectives Californians for Telecommunications Choice will engage in all activities which promote the goals of consumer choice through real local phone competition Such activities will include • Advocating our position in public foivms, hearings, and meetings • Mobilizing consumers and businesses in support of real local phone competition • Maintaining an ongoing dialogue with elected officials and regulatory agencies in support of local phone competition • Educating the news media and public about the benefits of local phone competition When California's government officials hear from enough Californians and consider all sides of this argument, we believe they will come down strongly on the side of local phone com- petition and ending the current monopoly P 0 Box 512466 • Los Angeles, California 90051 • 800 - 383 -7384 • www phonecompetition org TODAY AS WE ASSEMBLE HERE, WE ASK YOUR BLESSINGS UPON US, UPON OUR OFFICERS, AND UPON EACH MEMBER ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS.

It would be wonderful if we had our own animal shelter. Traveling to other towns to go to animal shelters in search of a lost pet is very difficult, especially for a senior citizen. I'm sure we would have many volunteers to help with the care of animals. Also, we would have a group of people who would try to find homes for the stray dogs and cats and other creations. El Segundo has many residents who truly appreciate the worth of our animal friends Living in El Segundo for the past 28 years has been a pleasure.

The Ordinance would allow for a period of time to prepare a Plan consisting of several components. The purpose of which is to improve the vitality of the Downtown, the entire Commercial - Retail Service (CR -S) zoning district. The proposed ordinance would extend the IZO by 10 months and 15 days. The Council can rescind the Ordinance at any time prior to the expiration of this time period. Al 6id 1- 14 Is] ZF The preparation of the Downtown Specific Plan is one part of an overall program to increase activity and interest in the El Segundo Downtown District. Other components of the programs include a Civic Center Plaza Charette, the preparation and instigation of a Farmers Market, the completion of a Market Study for the potential of locating a Bed and Breakfast Inn in the Downtown, and the contracting of an Events Coordinator. The ambitious program is predicated on certain consistency in the types of businesses located in the Downtown. (continued on page 2) ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1.

It serves the entire community by providing the types of businesses that cater to everyday needs, such as pharmacy, tailors, notions, clothing, financial institutions and restaurants among others. The Downtown District has, of late, experienced an increase in the types of uses that may not contribute to a continued Retail and Service oriented mixture of businesses. The City Council appointed a group of residents and business owners to discuss and develop a vision for the Downtown District. The Downtown Task Force conducted several meetings and prepared a report for the City Council. The report, delivered to the City Council in November 1998, presented some recommendations for creating a more vibrant Downtown District. The outcome of the report is the preparation of several individual components that, taken together, form the overall plan for the Downtown District. The individual components consist of the preparation of a Downtown Specific Plan that would address uses, design criteria for store fronts, signs, traffic circulation, boundaries, and mixed use, in addition to other issues. Tied into the Downtown Specific Plan is a Civic Center Plaza Charette, which would suggest improvements to the Plaza area that is currently unused and uninviting. Also, a Special Events coordinator is envisioned to organize and create interesting activities, and a Marketing Report to determine the viability of a Bed and Breakfast for the former Ralph's site. The Downtown Task Force urged the City Council to act on the recommendations swiftly, whereby the City Council authorized Staff to proceed with the following: 1. Development of Request for Proposals for the Downtown Specific Plan, 2. Special Events Coordinator, 3. Charette Coordinator, 4. Conduct a market study for a Bed and Breakfast Inn at the former Ralph's site, and 5. Submittal of an application for a certified Farmers Market. All of these activities are currently underway, with consulting firms to be selected by late March and work to begin shortly thereafter. The continuation of the IZO will provide the City with further time to complete these tasks and ensure that properties are not utilized in a manner inconsistent with the City's current planning efforts. pAzonin g \IZO /Downtown 14 a 007 ORDINANCE NO.

For the past several years, El Segundo has considered various potential options to improve the City's economic and physical development of its Downtown Area ( "Downtown'); B. As part of this effort, in June, 1998, the El Segundo City Council authorized the formation of the Downtown task force ( "Task Force "), composed of local business and community leaders; C.

A copy of the Final Report is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by this reference; D. Among other recommendations, the Final Report recommends that the feasibility of a comprehensive revision to the El Segundo Zoning Code as it relates to Downtown be evaluated. Alternatively the Final Report recommends that preparation of Downtown Specific Plan be considered; E. As a result of the above planning efforts, the City Council has determined that revitalization of downtown El Segundo is a key component of the City's on -going planning and other efforts to promote economic development and improve the physical character of the City; F.

PROHIBITING CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT IN THE DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL 008 ZONE (C -RS) PAGE 1 G. The City's review of its existing development regulations, including the zoning code and the General Pl.$n, indicates that these provisions do not adequately address the planning issues relevant to downtown El Segundo or reflect the City's recent planning efforts relating to downtown El Segundo. As a result, the relevant Municipal Code provisions are inadequate and need review, study, and revision. In addition, numerous other planning options have been discussed or are contemplated for downtown El Segundo. These options, include, but are not limited to undertaking a thorough rezoning of the area consistent with the City's economic development goals, and the adoption of a Downtown El Segundo Specific Plan to avoid fractionalized development and address area -wide problems. H. The City Council finds that until new regulations relating to downtown El Segundo are adopted, properties in this area may receive entitlements which are inconsistent with the City's planning strategies relating to economic development and other issues. The City Council finds that pursuant to Government Code section 65858, the purpose of this Ordinance is to extend interim Ordinance No. 1296 prohibiting any uses in the Downtown area, which may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal, which the City Council, Planning Commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time. I. The City Council directs that all studies regarding the new zoning ordinances, general or specific plans, or other measures be pursued as expeditiously as is practicable. In order to prevent the frustration of said studies and the implementation thereof, the public interest, health, safety, and welfare require the immediate enactment of this Ordinance. The absence of this Ordinance would create a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation of any zoning amendments or amendments to the City's General Plan, which may be adopted by the City as a result of the planning process, in that further development of currently allowed uses within the Downtown area may be in conflict with or frustrate the contemplated updates and revisions to the City's zoning code or General Plan or adoption of a Downtown El Segundo Specific Plan. J. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is necessary for the protection of the City's retail trade, maintenance of property values, protection and preservation of the quality of the City's neighborhoods and the City's commercial districts, and the protection of the City's quality of life. K. The City Council finds, determines, and declares that a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare exists, and the approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, or any other applicable entitlements for use which is required in order to comply with a zoning ordinance would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare. The facts constituting such an urgency are set forth in Sections A -J, inclusive of this Ordinance. L. The City Council further finds that this is a matter of City-wide importance and is not directed towards any particular parcel of property or proposed use. ORDINANCE NO.
