Draft Ordinance FISCAL IMPACT N/A Operating Budget Amount Requested Account Number Project Phase- Appropriation required. / r . • - / H Berger, Assi City Attorney ED DATE: tr ity 5/L- Manager � 7� 1 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (CONTINUED): As explained in the staff report for the September 18, 2001 meeting, several changes In the Political Reform Act ( "PRA ") caused various provisions of the City's Campaign Contribution regulations to become moot Moreover, it appears that other provisions of the City's regulations may conflict with State law Following Council direction, the proposed Ordinance was redrafted to remove these provisions from the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") Council also requested that the City Attorney's office determine whether the City could prohibit all anonymous contributions in local elections and require full disclosure on all election- related literature It appears that the City probably can Impose these types of regulations The PRA does prohibit candidates and committees from accepting anonymous contributions of one hundred dollars ($100) or more' and also requires that senders making mass mailings make certain disclosures on those mailings2 A "mass mailing" is defined, in part, as being "over two hundred substantially similar pieces of mad 0 Based upon the City Council meeting of September 18`", the City Attorney's office understood that the Council wished to eliminate any anonymous contributions and to require all election- related mail to have full disclosure regarding the sender The City Council should be aware that the courts have not examined the question of whether a local public entity may prohibit all anonymous contributions or whether local regulations can require disclosure for all mailings (not just "mass mailings ")4 However, the Political Reform Act generally allows cities to adopt additional regulations for local elections so long as these restrictions do not interfere with a person's ability to comply with the Political Reform Acts Accordingly, based upon the City Council's direction, the proposed Ordinance imposes more restrictive regulations regarding anonymous contributions and mailing requirements than established by California law Government Code ( "GC ") §§ 84304 (no person may make anonymous contributions more than $100 in calendar year) and 85700 (anonymous contributions must be returned within 60 days of receipt) z GC §§ 84305 and 84305 5 s GC § 82041 5 See Gnset v FPPC (1994) 8 Cal 4'" 851, cert den (finding disclosure requirements in PRA for mass mailings are constitutional) ' GC §§ 81013 and 85703 009 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING IN ITS ENTIRETY CHAPTER 9 IN TITLE 1 OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED "CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS." The city council of the city of El Segundo does ordam as follows. SECTION 1 The city council finds and declares as follows A The ability to contribute time and money to local political campaigns Is a legitimate and Important means of participating in the political process B Large monetary contributions, however, may give at least the appearance that candidates for elective office may be unduly Influenced through financial means C It is in the public interest that the City have a means by which all persons within the community have a fair and equitable opportunity to participate in local government whether by elected office or through other means D To assist with the goal of providing an even playing field to all candidates seeking elective office, and to engender public trust in the political process, the City Council enacted regulations for campaign contributions. Specifically, the City Council enacted Ordinance No 1146, adopted January 16, 1990, and Ordinance No 1278, adopted October 21, 1997, which added Chapter 9 to Title I of the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") entitled Campaign Contributions and consisting of §§ 1 -9 -1 to 1 -9 -7 E In general, Chapter 9 required candidates to disclose the source of campaign contributions when the amounts of such contributions exceeded a voluntary cap F In 1996 and 2000, the Califorma electorate approved two propositions that implemented regulations for campaign contributions on a statewide basis. Proposition 208, enacted in 1996, was challenged and has been partially invalidated, Proposition 34, enacted in 2000, was designed, in part, to cure the deficiencies in Proposition 208 and became effective in January 2001. G In light of these initiatives, and in the Interest of full disclosure to voters, it is In the public Interest to amend the ESMC as set forth below Page 1 of 7 [C \WINDOWS \Temporary Internet Files \OLK3252 \Campaign Contributions Repeal doc] September 26, 2001 010 SECTION 2 Chapter 9 to Title 1 of the SSMC, entitled Campaign Contributions, consisting of §§ 1 -9 -1 to 1 -9 -7 entirely amended to read as follows "Chapter 9 CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS AND DISCLOSURES 1 -9 -1 Purpose The California Political Reform Act (Government Code § 81000, et sec Imposes a number of requirements upon persons supporting or opposing candidates and ballot measures.

assigned and confirming purchase order numbers are no longer needed due to shorter purchase order processing time These improvements and others have also provided for shorter processing times in each area Many invoices can be stamped and submitted to Accounts payable for processing in the same day As a next step in continuing to increase operational efficiency, the Administrative Services Department is requesting to initiate the Cal -Card purchasing program Cal -Card is a purchasing card program that allows employees to make purchases during the course of their daily assigned duties A number of unique controls have been developed for the Procurement Card program that does not exist in a traditional credit card environment These controls ensure the card can be used only for specific purchases and within specific dollar limits It is MANDATORY that each Cardholder attends training before a card is issued In addition, certification of all purchases is required by each cardholder, with verification performed by the Approving Official within the Cardholder's Department/Division, before the bill is submitted to Accounts Payable fol payment There is no annual fee or transaction cost with this program Staff has met with representatives of Union Bank and Cal Card to learn more about the program Additionally, Staff has contacted several cities that currently are using the Cal -Card program, and all of those contacted have experienced increased efficiency and lower costs Staff feels that implementing this pilot program would reduce the numbers of checks, direct payment orders, petty cash requests, purchase orders and associated staff time for low- dollar value items, and also improve the accountability of purchases Additionally, suppliers would receive payment directly from the bank within two days, while the City would have up to 40 days to make payment to the Visa banking institution Advantages to using this program include some of the following • Streamline the procurement cycle for the purchasing and administrative functions • Eliminate invoices of low -value purchases so the City would only receive one invoice per month • Reduce or eliminate check requisitions, petty cash, direct payment orders, purchase orders, and the number of checks issued for low -value purchases • Reduce order -taker activities in purchasing • Obtain discounts on purchases with improved payment timing and lower processing costs to suppliers • Reduce payment time, which is typically 30 to 45 days from the date of service or goods received 032 9194/01 1049 AM The City's responsibilities in setting up this pilot program include designating the Risk Manager/Purchasing Agent as the Agency Program Coordinator, approving officials (current personnel with signature authority), cardholders (personnel listed below), and Accounting Manager as the accounting coordinator, establishing card limits and purchase restrictions, developing instructions /procedure manual (attached to this report) including required cardholder training program prior to issuance of Cal Card The Risk Manager /Purchasing Agent in conjunction with the Director of Administrative Services will be responsible for writing procedures, setting up necessary controls and staff training It would be staffs recommendation to implement this program as a "pilot program" starting with a select group of employees The select group for this pilot program is as follows City Manager (Travel), All Department Heads (Travel), City Council, Executive Assistant (Travel), Police, Training Sgt (Travel), Sr Administrative Specialist (Administrative Services) and Risk Manager /Purchasing Agent If the pilot program is successful, staff will then implement the Cal Card purchasing program department by department until in use citywide, as needed 0,13 9/24/01 10 42 AM Executive Summary — State of California Approved Purchasing Card Program The Cal -Card program will add an indispensable tool to the City's procurement processes Benefits include Efficiency • Requisitions, approvals, purchase and service orders, petty cash, travel expense claims and prepayments are replaced by the CAL -Card • Valuable personnel hours are no longer spent generating and tracking purchase orders or reconciling problems • Fewer steps between order and delivery, making purchasing easier and more efficient • Streamlined data entry • Productivity increases as cardholders spend less time generating and tracking paperwork The CAL - Card's predetermined spending limits promote greater awareness of budget restraints Cardholders become smarter shoppers, and eliminate the urge to "stockpile" products and supplies Cardholders know they can purchase exactly what they need to complete their lobs and when they need it Controls • Single- transaction dollar limits allow City staff to specify the amount of any single purchase • City staff can control spending limits over a single day or a billing cycle Enhanced Data • Visa has actively pursued the collection of merchant data elements required for 1099 reporting to the Internal Revenue Service Through management information system reports the data provided includes supplier name, address, taxpayer identification number, incorporation status, sole proprietor, merchant category code, and total merchant spends Expense Management • Allocate expenses to a specific cost center, project or general ledger account • Individual cardholder monthly account statements detail purchases for review and approval • Charges from individual accounts will be grouped into one or more centralized invoices for payment and processing U.S Bank I.M P.A C Government Services Support • The CAL -Card is accepted at over 15 million locations worldwide, including a growing number of wholesalers, manufacturers, and other government suppliers • 24 -hour lost or stolen card replacement in the United States and Canada, or within one business day elsewhere • Dedicated team of U S Bank I M P A C Government Services specialists to service CAL -

Revision of Maintenance Requirements a) Due to various factors over the duration of the landscape plan implementation, the City of El Segundo's maintenance obligations for the plan extended beyond the original two -year period outlined in Section III of the MOU. Though the original planting was according to plan, there have been re- plantings and additional plantings in order to ensure a visual screening of Hyperion satisfactory to the City of El Segundo. This was accomplished through three separate change orders between the initial contract award date of November I7, 1994 and October 21, 1997. El Segundo hereby certifies that the installed landscape satisfactorily meets the requirements of a "healthy and viable landscape" as originally set forth in Section III.a. of the MOU. It is anticipated that when the current vegetation reaches the density and height associated with maturity, it will provide visual screening of Hyperion to a level acceptable to the City of El Segundo. This certification releases Los Angeles from any future landscape additions or improvements notwithstanding those required in Sections IIA -f, below. �� & ,MITTAL N0. '' Hyperion Landscape Agreement Addendum to MOU March 8, 2001 City of Los Angeles City of El Segundo b) El Segundo certifies that it has documented the height and density of the landscape buffer, and the amount of visual screening afforded This documentation is attached as Exhibit "A," and includes a set of three panoramic, still photographs of the site, including elevation benchmarks and identification of viewpoint sites Copies of such documentation have been given to Los Angeles prior to the signing of this addendum C) The effectiveness of the screen in mitigating view impacts of Hyperion (as intended by the original MOU) is estimated to be 80% as of the date of the execution of this addendum, and as depicted in Exhibit "A " Future evaluations of the effectiveness of the screen can be calculated by comparing the benchmark panoramic photographs accompanying this addendum and panoramic photographs taken from the same location(s) at future dates d) Beginning on the effective date of this addendum, Los Angeles shall be obligated to cultivate a naturalized landscape buffer that provides an adequate visual screen of Hyperion This was the objective of the MOU when originally signed. This obligation requires Los Angeles to maintain a "healthy and viable landscape" that affords a visual screen of Hyperion not less than the level documented in Section II c., above If it becomes clear that said level of screening is not sustainable due to vegetation die -off, Los Angeles shall make a determination that the particular plant species involved in the die -off is not suitable for the habitat, will recommend alternative species, and communicate these issues in writing to El Segundo; ■ limit the height of the landscape buffer foliage to 120 feet above mean sea level, ■ prune the foliage adequately to keep the Department of Water and Power access road clear of vegetation and debns; ■ remove dead growth as necessary to comply with applicable fire codes. e) At mutually agreed upon dates and tunes, representatives of both cities will conductjoint inspections of the landscape buffer. If dates cannot be mutually agreed upon, the default dates will be the first Wednesdays of March, June, September, and December, at 9:00 a.m. f) Both parties acknowledge that due to unforeseen circumstances, the landscape buffer can be severely damaged or destroyed by natural or man-made causes beyond the control of either parry. In the event that such a loss should occur, both parties agree that a mutual and collective effort to restore the buffer and/or otherwise resolve the issue will be made if conditions warrant such an effort at that time. g) Any future dispute as to the discharge of the requirements of this addendum shall be made in writing by either party, per the dispute resolution guidelines of the Environmental Litigation Settlement Agreement between the City of Los Angeles and City of El Segundo All or any part of this MOU or any requirement therein may be changed or altered at anytime by mutual written agreement of both the City of El Segundo and the City of Los Angeles.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Introduce Ordinance and waive first reading BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: As requested by the City Council on September 18, 2001, this Office drafted an ordinance that regulates the sale of tobacco products in El Segundo The proposed ordinance will do four things (1) require tobacco product vendors to post advisory signs stating that it is illegal for minors to purchase tobacco products, (2) require vendors selling tobacco products to verify that a potential buyer is eighteen years or older, (3) require that all tobacco products be sold in the manufacturer's original packaging, and (4) require that tobacco products be sold by the vendor in person rather than by self - service displays, or similar means, where the customer may possess a tobacco product before purchase ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Draft Ordinance FISCAL IMPACT: N/A Operating Budget: Amount Requested: Account Number: Project Phase: Appropriation required: YN 'G:/ City Attorney 9r1fW1 City Manager D9717 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (CONTINUED): California law partially restricts the means by which tobacco products may be sold Generally, tobacco products may not be sold through vending machines or other mechanical devices However, there are exceptions to this general rule Moreover, California statutes do not prohibit selling tobacco products through self - service displays. Business and Professions Code § 22960 allows municipalities to adopt regulations that are more restrictive than the minimum standards in the California Code. Such regulations may completely ban the sale of tobacco products from vending machines or through other, similar, means The proposed ordinance effectuates B &P § 22960 by, in part, requiring all tobacco product sales to occur in face- to-face transactions without any opportunity for self - service. Consequently, tobacco products may not be sold through vending machines or other, similar, methods where the customer has possession of a tobacco product before purchasing It In addition, the proposed ordinance requires vendors to post a notice stating that only persons eighteen years or older may purchase tobacco products, check identification to verify customers' ages; and sell all tobacco products in the manufacturer's original packaging n10 8 ORDINANCE NO.
