BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
INTRODUCTION
Every three years the State of California adopts the model budding codes (budding,
plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire etc) After this occurs, all local government agencies
have 180 days to adopt the State codes and add their local amendments The California
State Budding Standards Commission requires all jurisdictions throughout the State of
California to begin enforcing the latest edition of the California codes on November 1,
2002 Staff recommends City Council adopt these codes with amendments with an
effective date of November 1, 2002 consistent with the State requirement.
The California code series provides the minimum standards for any building or structure
which is erected, constructed, altered or demolished. Staff is recommending amendments
to both the building and fire codes to protect the welfare of the occupants and to ensure
the economic viability of the community
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
Both the Budding Safety Division and Fire Department staff are proposing amendments to
the California Budding Code and the California Fire Code The budding code amendments
proposed will have a minor affect on wood construction and a slightly greater effect on
steel frame construction The fire code amendments create new requirements for "mid
rise" buildings between 55 to 75 feet in height These amendments will only affect new
construction and substantial remodels, and not be retroactive to existing buildings (For
reference purposes the Atrium building, by Continental Development Corporation, and 999
Sepulveda Blvd, by Kilroy Realty, has engineered their buildings to be in compliance with
the latest code requirements in steel structural design )
WHY WE NEED BUILDING CODE AMENDMENTS
In 1994, the Northridge earthquake caused over $44 billion in damage effecting over
29,000 buildings and structures One of the most significant findings that resulted from
investigating the damaged buildings was that steel- framed buildings performed poorly A
number of steel framed buildings suffered extensive damage that was very costly to repair
A lot of research has been conducted on the performance of steel framed buildings
resulting in new code language and requirements.
There are three different recognized budding code authorities throughout the United States
each with their own code standard. These three building authorities have joined together
to create one standardized set of codes; the International Code which is produced by the
International Code Council Currently all states in the country except for six will adopt at
least one of the international codes from the series California is one of the exceptions and
has refused to adopt latest 2000 International Code Instead the state has readopted the
old 1997 Uniform Building Code which we currently enforce.
Because California has now fallen behind in the implementation of the latest code
technology, by not adopting the International Code series, staff is proposing several
structural amendments that will maintain the City of El Segundo at a high code standard
and meet the structural requirements as set in the International Budding Code. The
01i
amendments have been researched by the regional code change committee and will be
adopted by several cities in the LA region Staff is recommending that this city adopt the
amendments as well
WHY WE NEED FIRE CODE AMENDMENTS
The model building and fire codes provide special language for the construction of
buildings over 75 feet in height. These buildings were classed as "high rise" buildings
This special language required high rise buildings to add very expensive safety elements to
protect the occupants in an emergency situation.
In the past, El Segundo Fire Department did not have a ladder that could reach a budding
that was 75 feet in height. To mitigate this condition and safeguard the well being of the
budding occupants, City Council passed an ordinance that lowered the high rise
requirements to 55 feet In past six years El Segundo purchased a state of the art 100 feet
truck ladder that will now be able to reach 75 feet buildings.
Therefore, staff proposes a change to the high rise requirement by raising the height back
to 75 feet and adding new "mid rise" requirements. This new requirement will allow
developers to realize a cost savings for buildings under 75 feet.
FISCAL IMPACT TO DEVELOPERS
To understand the financial impacts of these proposed amendment to the cost of
construction, staff assumed the construction of a new 3,000 square foot home and a new
five story office building-
The amendments that relate to wood construction would increase the cost of
construction by an additional $100 to $500 depending on the nature of the design.
2 The amendments that relate to steel frame construction would increase the cost of
construction by an additional 1 % to 1.5% depending on the nature of the design
3 The amendments that relate to mid rise buildings would decrease the cost of
construction by 0.5% to I% depending on the nature of the design

ORDINANCE NO. 1349
AN ORDINANCE INCORPORATING THE 2001 CALIFORNIA
BUILDING CODE VOLUMES I, II, AND III ( "CBC ") BY REFERENCE
AND AMENDING THE CBC BASED UPON LOCAL CLIMATIC,
TOPOGRAPHIC, AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS.
The council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1 FINDINGS. The City Council finds and declares as follows.
A In accord with Health & Safety Code § 17958 7, it is in the public interest to adopt
the 2001 Edition of the California Building Code Volumes I, II, and III ( "CBC ") with the
changes set forth in this Ordinance
B Pursuant to the requirements of Health & Safety Code § 17958 7, the City Council
finds the following.
There are local geographical conditions justifying the CBC amendments set
forth below Specifically, the City is located in an area with a high probability
for a severe seismic event Studies resulting from the 1994 Northridge
Earthquake determined that additional structural requirements in the City's
building codes are needed to give buildings a reasonable degree of structural
integrity to help protect public health and safety in the event of a seismic
event,
2 There are local topographical conditions justifying the CBC amendments set
forth below The City has hillside and flat land developments that require
special drainage precautions Structures would be subject to water damage
without special requirements addressing site drainage The City has a mixture
of structures with varying heights that make fire suppression response
difficult Occupants of structures maybe subject to fire and smoke hazards.
C The specific amendments of the CBC that fulfill this requirement are
1 CBC §§ 209 -H to 214 -M define additional strictures that are subject to the
fire safety requirements in this code,
2 CBC §§ 1612 2 1 to 3310 2 regulate the means of construction, load
calculations, and other, miscellaneous, matters needed to strengthen the
structural integrity of structures subject to the ESMC
D Based upon the foregoing findings, the changes made to the CBC by this Ordinance
are reasonably necessary to provide sufficient and effective protection of life, health and
property

Zone 3 and 4 or when required by the Engineer of Record.
These provisions must be applied in conjunction with, Chapter 22, Division H,
hereinafter referred to as the LRFD Specification. All members and connections in the
Lateral Force Resisting System must have a design strength as provided in the LRFD
Specification to resist load combinations 12 -1 through 12 -6 (in Chapter 16) and must meet

4.1 Loads and Load Combinations
The loads and load combinations must be those in Section 1612 2 except as
modified throughout these provisions.
CBC § 2315 1 is amended to read as follows
2315.1 General. Lumber and wood structural panel horizontal and vertical diaphragms
may be used to resist horizontal forces in horizontal and vertical distributing or resisting
elements, provided the deflection in the plane of the diaphragm, as determined by
calculations, tests or analogies drawn therefrom, does not exceed the permissible
deflection of attached distributing or resisting elements. See UBC Standard 23 -2 for a
method of calculating the deflection of a blocked wood structural panel diaphragm.
Permissible deflection must be that deflection up to which the diaphragm and any
attached distributing or resisting element will maintain its structural integrity under
assumed load conditions, i e, continue to support assumed loads without danger to
occupants of the structure
Connections and anchorages capable of resisting the design forces must be provided
between the diaphragms and the resisting elements Openings in diaphragms that
materially affect their strength must be fully detailed on the plans and must have their
edges adequately reinforced to transfer all shearing stresses.
Size and shape of each horizontal diaphragm and shear wall must be limited as set forth
in Table 23 -II -G The height of a shear wall is defined as
1 The maximum clear height from foundation to bottom of diaphragm framing above, or
2 The maximum clear height from top of diaphragm to bottom of diaphragm framing
above
The width of a shear wall is defined as the width of sheathing See figure 23 -II -1,
Section (a)
Page 12 of 26
vG
Where shear walls with openings are designed for force transfer around the openings, the
limitations of Table 23 -II -G apply to the overall shear wall including openings and to
each wall pier at the side of an opening. The height of a wall pier is defined as the clear
height of the pier at the side of an opening. The width of a wall pier is defined as the
sheathed width of the pier at the side of an opening Design for force transfer is based on
a rational analysis. Detailing of boundary members around the opening must provided in
accordance with Section 2315 See figure 23 -II -1, Section (b). Vertical diaphragms must
also meet the story drift limitations of Section 1630.10 2 of this code.
In all buildings in Seismic Zone 4, lumber, and wood structural panel diaphragms cannot
be considered as transmitting lateral forces by rotation.
EXCEPTION• One -story, attached or detached residential garages or similar Group U,
Division 1 woodframed structures with a maximum depth normal to the open side of 25
feet (7260 mm) and a maximum width of 25 feet (7260 mm) provided the diaphragm is
not constructed of straight sheathing

from and not the use of an aspect ratio. Calculated deflection must be determined
according to U B.0 Standard 23 -2, Section 23.223 "Calculation of Shear Wall
Deflection," and must be increased 25 percent to account for inelastic action and
repetitive loading Contribution to the deflection from the anchor or tie down slippage
must also be included The slippage contribution must include the vertical elongation of

ORDINANCE NO. 1354
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2001
EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, 2000 EDITION OF
THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE, STANDARDS IN THE 1997
EDITION OF THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE, AND AMENDING
THESE CODES THROUGH EXPRESS FINDINGS OF LOCAL
NECESSITY.
The Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows
SECTION 1 FINDINGS The City Council finds that certain local climatic, geological, or
topographical conditions exist as follows
A Climatic - The City experiences periods of extremely high temperatures
accompanied by low humidity and high winds each year. These conditions could
create an environment in which the Fire Department may be unable to control
fires occurring in vegetation as well as structures not having built in fire
protection
B Geological - The City is located in a seismically active area A significant
earthquake could render the Fire Department incapable of providing adequate fire
protection In that instance, built -in fire protection would be relied upon for
controlling most structural fires
C After due consideration, the City Council finds and determines that due to these
local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions that amendments,
additions, and deletions to the California Fire Code, 2001 Edition, are reasonably
necessary to provide sufficient and effective levels of fire safety for the protection
of life, health and property Specifically, these amendments are made as follows.
CFC § 1003.1 2 -1003 1 14 Provides a means of ensuring that fire
protection systems are installed and maintained in a manner that will
provide adequate protection during periods of low humidity and high
winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in
the City.
2 CFC § 3701 -3708 5 Requires the installation of fire protection and life
safety equipment in new mid -rise buildings /structures that increase the fire
and life safety of the structures/buildings in order to provide adequate fire
protection during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential
seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City
Page 1 of 18
G5;,
CFC § 6401 requires the installation of spill containment, leak detection
and smoke detectors in areas where lead acid batteries are operated in
large concentrations to increase the fire and life safety of the building and
its occupants in order to provide adequate fire protection and life safety
during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity,
or in areas of restricted access present in the City
4 CFC § 7802 3 Prohibits the general use of fireworks, including "Safe
and Sane" fireworks in order to reduce the danger from fire during periods
of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of
restricted access present in the City
SECTION 2 ADDITIONAL FINDINGS The City Council also finds as follows
A Although California Health & Safety Code § 18938(b) provides that the
provisions of the California Buildings Standards Code, including the Cahfonna
Fire Code, are applicable to all occupancies within the State, the California State
Fire Marshal's office believes that the California Fire Code applies only to those
occupancy classifications within its Iunsdiction,
B The State Fire Marshal's office does not regulate retail, commercial industrial,
hazardous, or office type uses,
C The limitation of the California Fire Code to only those occupancies subject to the
State Fire Marshal's jurisdiction would provide an inadequate level of public
protection in matters of public health, safety, and welfare,
D The City Council intends that the California Fire Code, as adopted by this
ordinance, apply to all occupancy and use classifications regulated by the City
Code
SECTION 3 Chapter 10 to Title 13 of the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC") is amended in

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 15, 2002
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING Reports of Committees,
Boards and Commissions
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding approval of fees for Internet Guest Cards for non-
residents to use the El Segundo Public Library's public Internet workstations
RECOMMENDED LIBRARY BOARD
1) Approve request, (2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
At the last Library Board of Trustees meeting on September 10, 2002, non - resident use of the
El Segundo Public Library's Internet workstations was reviewed The current charge for all
users is $1 per hour charge on a first- come - first- served basis In addition, all users must have
a valid El Segundo Public Library Card
The fee for a non - resident library card for someone who does not live in a participating
Metropolitan Cooperative Library System (MCLS) District is $40 per year In order for non-
residents to use the internet they must pay the $40 fee, plus $1 per hour
An Internet Guest Card for non - residents at fees of $2 per day or $10 per week is being
recommended by the Library Board and staff to help offset maintenance costs Proper
identification would be required to obtain a card, there would be no circulation privileges on
the card, and, in addition to the card fee, non - resident users would still pay the same $1 /hr fee
along with residents using the Internet computers

Background & Discussion
Staff are experiencing a significant increase in complaints over the $40 per year charge for
obtaining a library card in order to use our internet stations Most visitors from outside the
South Bay area who want to be able to use the internet live too far away to check out and
return books
Costs for Internet use by non - residents in other libraries throughout California vary Some
libraries obtained their internet computers through state grants and it was a requirement of the
grant that all use of the computers would be used free by the public Other city libraries have
dropped the fees for the use of the internet as technology becomes more integrated into their
online public access catalog and other electronic services A survey of 21 local libraries found
that only one library, Thousand Oaks Public Library, charges an Internet fee for non- residents
In 1998, when the public internet stations were a new library service, it was approved by the
Library Board and the City Council to set -up a partial cost recovery fee for all users Currently,
the Internet stations are not bringing in sufficient funds to make it a cost recovery service The
annual revenues generated by this service is approximately $1,500 and it costs at least twice
that amount to maintain them Also, the internet stations are due for equipment replacement
this year
The new Internet Guest Card would charge non - residents for use of the internet above what
residents pay, it would track the users name and I D in case there were problems with their
use of the internet equipment, and it would generate more revenues from non - residents since
most of them will not pay for a $40 library card lust to use the Internet Residents and MCLS
members would still be able to use the Internet with a free library card
At this time the Library Board of Trustees and staff would like the Council to consider a
proposal of Internet Guest Card fees for $2 /day or $10 /week

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States ofAmerica in
Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the 'Careful Airport Planning for Southern California Act'
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following
(1) Commerce fostered by the air transportation network in southern California is an
important underpinning of California's economic vitality In order to sustain that vitality, it
is necessary to make optimal use of new and existing airport capacity in the southern
California region
(2) By the year 2020, regional demand for air travel in southern California is expected to
grow to an estimated 150,000,000 annual air passengers and more than 8,000,000 annual
tons of cargo The benefits and burdens of air travel should be fairly allocated across the
region in order to meet this demand.
(3) Some communities in southern California have serious concerns about the impact
airports and air traffic have on their quality of life, as well as air and ground transportation
safety
(4) Other communities in southern California welcome the economic benefits of airport
v8b

expansion and increased passenger and cargo activity
(5) Within the southern California region, airports should be developed and expanded in
communities that want airports.
(6) Both air and surface traffic congestion at Los Angeles International Airport pose
significant safety and quality of life concerns for the community surrounding the airport,
and those concerns will only be exacerbated if air traffic at the airport continues to grow
(7) Air traffic at Los Angeles International Airport should not be allowed to increase
beyond 78,000,000 annual air passengers
SEC. 3. AIR TRAFFIC AT LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
END
(a) LIMITATION- The Secretary of Transportation may not approve any revision or modification
of the airport layout plan for Los Angeles International Airport if the revision or modification
could result in an increase in the number of air passengers at the airport to a level exceeding
78,000,000 air passengers per year
(b) AIR PASSENGER DEFINED- In this section, the term 'air passenger' means an individual
who boards (within the meaning of section 47102(l 0) of title 49, United States Code) or exits an

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE- October 15, 2002
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING- Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION
Consideration and possible action to approve a license agreement between the City of El
Segundo and The National Center for Crisis and Continuity Coordination (NC4) providing the
City access to the website and data developed by NC4 (Fiscal Impact $2,500)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Authorize the City Manager to execute a license agreement between the City and NC4; 2)
Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION-
In June 2002, the Candle Corporation announced the formation of the National Center for
Crisis and Continuity Coordination, or NC4 NC4 has been described by the Candle
Corporation as a for profit organization seeking to advance crisis and continuity management
between private and public entities in the event of a large scale emergency More specifically,
NC4's mission statement identifies the need to fill the gaps between public and private sector
responses during emergency situations, and to bridge the gap between government and
business to help minimize the impact on businesses and government in the wake of a large -
scale emergency
Though the firm is essentially in a start-up mode, the NC4 concept has much potential
applicability as part of the City's integrated emergency response approach Additionally, due

Background and Discussion (con't):
to the firm's emphasis on working with both businesses and governmental entities, the City's
participation in NC4 promises an ability to work even closer with local private corporations in
planning for local and regional emergencies. It should be noted also that Candle Corporation
has done an outstanding fob to date in staffing its NC4 operation NC4's current executive staff
is comprised of recognized emergency management professionals who have distinguished
themselves at the federal and state levels
NC4 is currently in the relatively early stages of developing as an organization However, the
combination of Candle Corporation's excellent reputation in developing new ventures, the
outstanding staff on board at NC4 and the nominal annual license fee available to the City
($2,500) represents an appropriate opportunity for the City's participation The City's
emergency management staff has reviewed the materials available on NC4, participated in the
July exercise staged in El Segundo and concurs that it is appropriate that El Segundo become
a member organization

Coordination
About NC4
Mission
The National Center for Crisis and Continuity Coordination (NC4) mission is to
advance crisis and continuity management by improving the coordination across the
public and private sectors
Founded
As a For Profit organization - February 2002, announced June 2002 as a division of
Candle Corporation - a global technology company with a history of serving business,
government and social needs
Bridging Crisis or Emergency Management with Business and Economic
Continuity Management
Planning for, and responding to, man -made and natural disasters is extremely
complex because of the types and number of organizations, both public and private,
as well as the issues involved A huge portion of the national infrastructure - power,
water, telecommunications, financial services - is owned and operated by the private
sector There is a great need for public- private coordination in securing critical
infrastructures that are important to both public safety and to the economy NC4
focuses on bridging the public -and private- sector gaps in two areas,
Emergency and Crisis Management, directed to public- private gaps relating to
emergency management, life and safety, and public safety issues
• Business and Economic Continuity- directed to bridging the gap between
government and business to help minimize impact on businesses,
government, infrastructure and the economy
Under traditional emergency management models, cities tend to concentrate more
on their public safety responsibilities and often overlook the economic disruption to
both business and the local economy Warnings that future terrorist attacks will
target the U S economy directly, dictate that emergency management and business
continuity management must become an integrated focus for all business and
government initiatives. NC4 brings together government and business organizations
to develop public- private practices and operational models to manage new crisis and
business continuity requirements
Local Region plus National Industry Perspectives
NC4 takes a bottom up approach for the public sector and top down approach from
an industry point of view. This means that in local regions the focus is local
collaboration of business and local government - with extensions then to higher
levels of government From an industry point of view NC4 looks at the industry
interdependencies across the US - and then how these relate to local cities and
regions
NC4 Program Offering
NC4 Regional Coordination Program
The programs focus on life cycle and public- private sector aspects of crisis and
continuity management from a local city or local regional point of view
About NC4 1
NUContinuitV The National Center
for Crisis and
Coordination
Life Cycle approach
NC4 is focused on bridging the public and private gaps relating to crisis and
continuity management - through a total lifecycle approach. Thus, NC4 will not only
provide operational solutions that enhance regional emergency and continuity
management, but will also conduct research, formulate policy, strategy, and plans,
provide education and exercises.
NC4's life cycle approach
• Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Activation Status Information•
Ability to enter and track the activation status for a city EOC including a
command center view showing the status of city EOC's on a graphical map in a
given geographical area. Also includes the ability to maintain and track
Homeland Security Advisory System status at a local or regional level
• Contact Management* Ability to maintain key emergency management contact
information and proactively notify contacts of a change in EOC activation status.
• Secure Collaboration- NC4 provides easy to use, browser -based capabilities to
establish secure groups of users that can collaborate in the creation of
documents, plans, threat assessments and other content related to crisis and
continuity management.
• Community Incident Management CIM is an NC4- hosted version of an E Team
application that will allow NC4 members using standard web - browsers to create
and share critical incident information securely with specified NC4 users or
groups, including incident and situation reports and requests for assistance. CIM
does not include E TEAM interactive GIS mapping and currently does not
integrate with other internal E Team systems used by NC4 members CIM will be
available for testing in August and production in October 1, 2002
• Exercises: NC4 will sponsor, tabletop exercises using multi-threat scenarios to
further identify the gaps between the public and private sectors, define strategies
for bridging those gaps, and illustrating the benefits of planned coordination
between the public and private sectors
• Education and Training: NC4 will offer traditional classroom based courses and
web -based courses on topics related to crisis and continuity management.
• Research: NC4 members are invited to participate in an in -depth discussion
with experts on critical topics of the day. The topics are driven by the NC4
membership and can include best practices, tips and pattern recognition, cyber-
terror targets, simulation exercises, and others

3 Interview City department heads regarding key factors impacting budget
4 Analyze current budgets of similar cities in southern California to determine average cost impact
of residents, employees and visitors on general fund expenditures
5 Using the above data, derive preliminary estimates of cost factors for each El Segundo general
fund service category, i e
Cost per acre of parkland
Cost per square foot of commercial /industrial buildings
Cost per resident
• Cost per tourist/visitor
Cost per lane -mile of roads
6 Derive revenue factors for general fund, i e

SEDWAY GROUP
Real Estate and Urban Economics
The fiscal model will be readily adaptable to analyze specific project impacts, but it will be subject to
a major caveat The marginal revenue and cost assumptions will change depending on proposed tenant
types, geographic location and supply /demand relationships To accurately analyze any major
development project, it will require experienced assessment of all relevant factors
PHASE II WORK PLAN — AIR FORCE BASE PROJECT ANALYSIS
Sedway will meet with City staff to determine the baseline economic assumptions for the AFB project
We will discuss development alternatives and policy options under consideration We will perform an
independent analysis of the market support and revenue projections for each major tenant type
Sedway will review the marginal cost and revenue factors and adjust the fiscal impact model for any
external variables. Based on our evaluation of all relevant issues, Sedway will protect the likely range
of long -term fiscal revenues and expenses
Sedway Group will meet with City staff to review the preliminary analysis If necessary, alternative
development scenarios will be analyzed Following receipt of City comments, the final report will be
prepared
SCHEDULE & BUDGET
Sedway Group commits to performing the scope of work in a timely manner Phase I fiscal impact
model should be completed within 6 -8 weeks of authorization Phase II's initial analysis of detailed
All project impacts will require 3 -4 weeks following receipt of project assumptions It is expected
that Phase lI work can commence prior to completion of Phase I, but Phase II can not be completed

CV
The City is suffering acute congestion on the major thoroughfares serving the office, commercial,
aerospace engineering and manufacturing complexes in the E1 Segundo- Manhattan Beach -
Hawthorne area Until the two discontinuous ends of Douglas Street are connected, the capacity
of the City's street network is inadequate to meet the growing demands of north -south traffic
movement
Douglas Street is a vital component of a proposed one -way north -south street couplet, planned as
part of an area -wide road and street improvement program to serve the needs of both the El
Segundo employment center and the greater South Bay The proposed underpass is an essential
component of the City's General Plan Circulation Element adopted by the El Segundo City
council in 1992, for the development of an adequate network of secondary artenals to carry
pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicular traffic, and emergency vehicles It is necessasry to close a gap in
the street system by connecting the two discontinuous stub ends of Douglas Street, thereby
enabling it to function as a secondary north -south arterial

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE. October 15, 2002
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING New Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION'
Status report on the Residential Sound Insulation Program and consideration and possible
action regarding approval of plans and specifications for Phase 8, a revision to the current
program application process, approval of a short-term extension to the current agreement with
Wyle Laboratories and authorization to seek proposals for architectural and engineering
services
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION.
1) Approve proposed revisions to the application process, 2) Authorize staff to advertise an
Invitation for Bids for General Contractors for Phase 8, 3) Authorize the City Manager to
execute the contract extension in a form approved by the City Attorney, 4) Authorize the
Program Coordinator to advertise for proposals for architectural and engineering services, 5)
Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION.
To date, the City has successfully completed sound insulation work on 171 residential units
within the City of El Segundo This represents approximately than 4% of the 4,360 units
eligible for federal funding from the FAA Seven single family residences and 33 multi - family
residences were originally treated using funding from LADOA (now LAWA) between 1985 and
1988, between 1990 and 1993 the City purchased and treated a demonstration home (910
Hlllcrest), and from 1995 to the present, 130 residences have been successfully treated
Design work for "Phase 8" (49 residences) is complete and ready for Construction bids, which
will add to the 171 units already completed
(Please see attached page marked "Background and Discussion')

Background and Discussion (con't):
Currently, the costs for sound insulation are shared between property- owners and the City —
the City funds 80% of all costs provided through FAA grants, and property- owners pay 20%
of the total cost As the Council is aware, the FAA requires a 20% matching funding source
as a requirement for each grant It should be noted, however, that participants in Phases 6
and 7 received assistance meeting the 20% cost burden because of a previous Council
decision to use funds obtained through litigation with LAWA for the specific purpose of
providing local matching funds for the RSI program In addition, some limited income
participants are eligible to receive funding to cover the 20% match through the City's CDBG
program Six households slated to participate in Phase 8 have been approved to receive that
funding
Approximately $3,561,175 in federal grant money has been spent on the program to date, with
$236,484 being spent on the demonstration house, and $3,324,691 being spent to sound
insulate 130 residences (and average grant expenditure of approximately $25,575 and owner
cost of $6,400)
Currently, the City has federal allocations totaling approximately $3,089,816 that have not
been spent, and unbilled design work and construction costs on Phase 8 will draw from those
funds Based on average costs from the prior residences, the completion of Phase 8 will leave
a balance of approximately $1,950,00 that will be used for sound insulation of additional
residential properties Additionally, the City executed a FAA grant offer for an additional
$2,000,000 at the end of September to be used for sound insulation which will add to that
balance
There is a list of over 200 qualifying property- owners who have expressed an interest in the
Residential Sound Insulation Program and are waiting to begin the process Current
guidelines require an application for each "Phase' and property owners that have been
"passed over" in favor of properties with qualifying priority are expressing dissatisfaction with
the requirement of completing separate applications with each new Phase Therefore, staff is
recommending a change in the guidelines that would require an application to the program,
and not for a specific phase of the program If approved, staff would develop an ongoing list
of qualified households, and the list of households to be included in future Phases would be
drawn from this ongoing list of qualified applicants Lists of homes for future Phases would
be developed in accordance with FAA funding guidelines, requiring most heavily impacted
residences to be given priority Residences would be prioritized by CNEL contour zones (the
4th quarter 2001 contours of 75dB, 70dB, 65dB, and the Part 150 65dB contour) and then a
first come, first serve basis within each zone The Burbank program uses similar selection
criteria successfully
In addition, the current contract with Wyle Laboratories for architectural support services will
expire on November 15, 2002 Staff is recommending a month -to -month extension of that
agreement (not to exceed six months) in order to continue work on Phase 8 without
interruption, and begin design work for residences to be included in Phase 9 It is proposed
that the recommended contract extension will "bridge the gap" until a complete and formal
Request For Proposal process can be completed for the next Acoustical Engineering Services
contract, as required by the FAA A proposal from Wyle Laboratories for the short-term
extension has been attached for the Council's review
