BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (Continued):
1 A 3 2% salary increase, based on the April 2002 Consumer Price Index for "Los
Angeles - Riverside - Orange County" This increase would apply to all members of
the Executive Management, Mid- Management/Confidential group, consisting of 44
employees in 33 job classifications, and would be effective with the payroll
beginning June 29, 2002
2 An increase of $100 per month in "Flexible Medical Benefits ", from $700 per month
to $800 per month, effective with the payroll beginning June 29, 2002 This will also
apply to elected officials
3 The City will pay an amount equal to the employee's contribution to deferred
compensation up to a maximum of 1% of the employee's total pay for all
management employees participating in City approved deferred compensation
programs
4 For sworn Police and Fire Management employees only, an increase of the
maximum accrued sick leave payoff upon separation from 80% to 90% This
establishes the same payoff percentage currently available for members of the
Police Officer and Firefighter Employee Associations
Alternative Work Schedules
Separate from the salary and benefits action, staff is also recommending that the Council
consider implementing alternative works schedules for employees in city hall and other city
facilities El Segundo is one of only two South Bay survey cities that does not have an
alternative work schedule with the majority expanding normal hours and closing city hall
every or alternating Fridays Recruitment problems are growing due to this shift as well as
the public's expectation of expanded hours during the weekday Similar to the other South
Bay cities that have implemented alternative work schedules, staff would not recommend
trying to keep city hall open with minimal staffing
A detailed analysis of benefits and challenges will be done before a final recommendation
on a schedule is presented to the Council

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (continued):
Last year, approximately 2 58 million gallons per day of El Segundo waste flow was
processed at the Hyperion Plant In fiscal year 1999 -2000, the actual cost was
$532,916.00. In fiscal year 2000 -2001, the actual cost was $908,500 00 due to the City
receiving an "adjustment" bill amounting to $297,500,00 for additional content of sewerflow
and capital costs
In fiscal year 2001 -2002, based on anticipated flow and waste content, $599,000 00 was
budgeted, which was very optimistic This year's increase is about $242,000 00 over last
year's billing The actual bill calculated at this time amounts to $1,150,000 00 Flow and
waste content costs and capital costs appear to be in line with forecasts Staff is
recommending that the City Council authorize an appropriation of $551,000 00 so that
sufficient funds are available to pay the bill
One of the agreement clauses states that if a member agency does not pay its bill, the
other Cities will then pay to make up the deficit. As of today, the City of Glendale is
contesting the capital costs assigned to it for the construction of two (2) major sewer
projects that will also serve that City Payments by the City of Glendale are being made to
an escrow account until the issue is resolved Once resolved, the funds will be distributed
(with interest) among the contract Cities The City of Glendale presently owes
$6,262,956 00 The City of El Segundo's bill reflects an increase of approximately
$20,750 00 due to this issue

Environmental Protection Agency ( "EPA "), requires that the city adopt plans and
programs for stormwater quality management,
B The 1972 amendments to the CWA prolubtt the discharge of any Pollutant to
waters of the United States from a point source unless the discharge is authorized by
a permit issued pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elumnathon System
( "NPDES ") required by 33 U S C § 1342,
C Municipal separate storm sewer systems ( "MS4") which convey urban
runoff, including, without limitation, Storm Water runoff, are within the definition of
point sources under the CWA,
D Pursuant to the CWA, the EPA defined the term "Municipal separate storm
sewer system" to mean a conveyance, or system of conveyances, including roads
with drainage systems, municipal streets, curbs, gutters, catch basins, and storm
drains owned or operated by a city, used for collecting Storm Water,
E CWA § 402(p) requires that the City obtain a permit for Storm Water and
urban discharges through the City's MS4,
F Section 402(p) of the CWA further provides that NPDES permits will
require controls to reduce the discharge of Pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable, including management practices and such other provisions as may be
appropriate for the control of Pollutants,
G The EPA, in partial implementation of CWA § 402(p) adopted final rules,
known as the "Phase I and Phase II Storm Water Regulations" at several places in
Parts 9, 122, 123, and 124 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations

modified the SUSMP by revising the definition of "Redevelopment," excluding
Retail Gasoline Outlets from certain design standards, deleting the applicability of
the SUSMP to "Environmentally Sensitive Areas," limiting the applicability of
the SUSMPs to discretionary development and redevelopment in specified
categories, applying the SUSMPs to Redevelopment projects only if they result in
creation or addition of 5,000 square feet or more of impervious surfaces, deleting
the requirement for funding by project proponents who receive waivers, and

potentially enormous costs of litigation regarding natural resources allegedly
damaged by pollutants allegedly transported through the City's storm drain
system,

Stormwater Quality Management Plan in furtherance of these purposes is exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 21100) of Division 13 of the Public
Resources Code as provided in categorical exemption classes 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and
21 of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulation §§ 15301-

AN ORDINANCE IMPLEMENTING THE STANDARD URBAN
STORM WATER MITIGATION PLAN OF THE CALIFORNIA
REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD FOR THE
LOS ANGELES REGION BY AMENDING CHAPTER 7 OF TITLE
5 OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY.
The Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows
SECTION 1 The City Council finds as follows
A The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U S C. §§ 1251 -1387,
"Clean Water Act" or "CWA "), as implemented by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA'), requires that the city adopt plans and
programs for stormwater quality management,
B The 1972 amendments to the CWA prohibit the discharge of any Pollutant to
waters of the United States from a point source unless the discharge is authorized by
a permit issued pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
( "NPDES ") required by 33 U S C § 1342,
C Municipal separate storm sewer systems ("MS4") which convey urban
runoff, including, without limitation, Storm Water runoff, are within the definition of
point sources under the CWA,
D Pursuant to the CWA, the EPA defined the term "Municipal separate storm
sewer system" to mean a conveyance, or system of conveyances, including roads
with drainage systems, municipal streets, curbs, gutters, catch basins, and storm
drains owned or operated by a city, used for collecting Storm Water,
E CWA § 402(p) requires that the City obtain a permit for Storm Water and
urban discharges through the City's MS4,
F Section 402(p) of the CWA further provides that NPDES permits will
require controls to reduce the discharge of Pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable, including management practices and such other provisions as may be
appropriate for the control of Pollutants,
G The EPA, in partial implementation of CWA § 402(p) adopted final rules,
known as the "Phase I and Phase II Storm Water Regulations" at several places in
Parts 9, 122, 123, and 124 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations
( "CFR "),

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING' Council Reports —
Mayor Pro Tern Jacobs
AGENDA DESCRIPTION
Consideration and possible action regarding a resolution supporting the current level of
services and programs at Harbor -UCLA Medical Center
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Approve the attached resolution, and 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related
to this item
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION*
The State of California is facing an estimated $24 billion revenue shortfall during the current
fiscal year In response, the Legislature is considering a variety of budget reduction measures
that may lead to a reduction in the State's funding of County services The Los Angeles
County Board of Supervisors, in anticipation of those reductions, has examined a series of
contingency plans in advance of final approval of the State's spending plan Among items
considered by the Board is a reduction of services at Harbor -UCLA medical Center It is clear
that Harbor -UCLA provides many essential services for residents of the South Bay, and that
any reduction of those services would have a deleterious impact on the quality of life in the
region Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution
opposing such plans and stating formally the importance of continuing the current level of
services at the Harbor -UCLA Medical Center
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

tertiary hospital and Level I Trauma Center

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF
HARBOR -UCLA MEDICAL CENTER AS A FULL SERVICE TERTIARY
HOSPITAL AND LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER
The City Council resolves as follows
Section 1 The City Council finds and declares as follows
A Harbor -UCLA Medical Center is the premier tertiary hospital and Level 1
Trauma Center in the South Bay serving a population of approximately 2 2 million
people,
B Harbor -UCLA Medical Center's regional importance is underscored by the
fact that it provides uncompensated medical care to persons in the South Bay who are
uninsured and underinsured, and that such service includes 75,000 Emergency Room
visits, 250,000 outpatient visits and 23,000 hospitalizations annually,
C Harbor -UCLA Medical Center is an essential component of emergency
management plans in the area of Los Angeles County that includes the world's third
busiest airport, two international seaports and major oil and chemical facilities,
D Harbor -UCLA Medical Center is home base to the renowned Research
and Education Institute and serves as an important training facility for physicians
serving Los Angeles County and serves as an important link to the region's medical
schools and other medical research institutions nationwide,
E Harbor -UCLA Medical Center is vital part of the South Bay region's
economy, employing more than 4,000 persons and accounting for nearly $1 billion in
direct and indirect revenues to the region
Section 2 The City of El Segundo believes strongly that the reorganization plan
considered by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors would significantly
diminish the capacity of Harbor -UCLA Medical Center to function effectively as a world
class medical training institution and Level I Trauma Care facility, and place an undue
burden on South Bay residents
Section 3 The City of El Segundo urges the members of the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors to reject proposals that would reduce the levels of training and
services provided at Harbor -UCLA Medical and, instead, commit to maintaining that
facility as a significant tertiary hospital and Level I Trauma Center serving the residents
and businesses of the South Bay region

Section 4 The City Clerk will certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution,
shall enter the same in the book of original Resolutions of the City, and shall make a
