RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Recommendation to the City Council to conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution establishing a revised and restated fee schedule related to police services. (2) Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: The Police Department charges fees for certain services provided to the public. Police staff is recommending changes to the Police Services fee schedule adopted on the 201h of March, 2001 under Resolution No. 4210. These recommendations have been developed pursuant to applicable Government Code Sections 66016 - 66018.5, and the City's cost recovery policy. This proposal is recommending an increase in approximately one -third of the existing police services fees. Other fees, except as noted will remain the same. If adopted, it is estimated that the restated fee schedule would generate an additional $50,000.00 in cost recovery annually. The basis of the study was to establish fees at a level not more than that necessary to recover reasonable costs incurred for the services. The proposal also includes a reduction in fees specific to applicant alarm permits. Staff believes these reduced fees will encourage Municipal Code compliance, promote alarm security and to help recover the actual costs of the application process. These fees are described on the exhibit "A" attachment to the resolution. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Proposed Police Services Fee Schedule as Exhibit "A" to the proposed resolution.

Kennedy Hospital staffs overview of the hospital's program /customer service enhancements and actions to date. Fiscal Impact: None. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) After hearing presentation by RFK staff, receive and file report. (2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

They have provided us timelines for operational improvements, they are establishing enhanced communications with our paramedics, and we are planning ongoing joint training sessions. RFK staff will provide an overview of their action plan and progress. (continued on next page) ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None. FISCAL IMPACT: None. Operating Budget: Amount Requested: Account Number: Project Phase: Appropriation Required: _Yes _ No ORIGINATED BY: Norm Angelo, Fire Chief REVIEWED BY: Mary Stre , 'City"Manager DATE: �9I(-1> DATE: /.111/04a 2 1118 Continued from Page 1: Background & Discussion: Criteria for patient transport and destination is covered within the L.A. County Department of Health Service Code and the California Code of Regulations, Title 13 and Title 22. There are a number of divisions and sections of these codes that apply. In discussions with our paramedics and the DHS, we confirmed that our current practice of transporting patients to their hospital preference is acceptable when the patient's medical condition allows. However, if the patient's condition is extremely serious or requires specialized treatment, such as with a trauma incident or potentially life threatening condition, the transportation destination is determined through L.A. County DHS criteria and the Base Hospital Medical Staff's direction. Most often these situations require transport to the most accessible receiving facility (hospital). While El Segundo has been designated to be within the RFK service area by DHS, it is primarily the medical criteria and proximity of the most accessible receiving facility, not the service area designation, which determines where a patient is transported. The trade off for transporting patients to a more distant hospital of their preference, when their medical condition allows, is extended out of service time for our rescue units, and a longer transport time for the patient. Currently the volume of calls and the availability of our paramedic extension engine enable us to deliver that level of service.

Pine Ave. For years our City Council has received complaints, but have failed to take the necessary action to close this driveway. There are several issues at hand. The first and foremost is safety. This hazard is exacerbated by the amount of pedestrian traffic specifically children going to and from Center St. Elementary, and the Middle Schools. (Both within 1 block of the driveway.) The use of the driveway by heavy trucks entering and exiting the Shopping Center via E. Pine Ave. is in violation of the cities truck traffic circulation plan. (As noted in the General Plan.) . You are aware of last year's accident where a driver exiting the shopping center at a high rate of speed totaled one, maybe two vehicles. It is not uncommon to witness cars zipping through this driveway at high speed, day and night. Near misses of cars and trucks vs. children occur on a daily basis. It is only a matter of time before a fatality occurs. I have personally experienced nearly being hit, seeing my grandchildren nearly hit, and having my dog hit and seriously injured while crossing this driveway. This driveway allowing vehicular ingress and egress from a shopping center via a residential cul- de-sac should never have been approved. (If it was approved.) The attached petition was circulated by my neighbor Bill McCaverty and me on behalf of our neighbors, our children, our grandchildren, and all pedestrians.

This area has approximately ten (10) businesses. The Village abuts a residential area to the east and south. Currently, the Village parking lot has three (3) driveway accesses — One (1) from Mariposa Avenue; One (1) from Center Street; and one (1) from the Pine Avenue dead -end west of Nevada Street in the residential area. A petition dated August 3, 2003 was received by the City. This petition, signed by twenty -eight (28) residents, requested the City to close the existing Pine Avenue driveway (driveway) access to the Village shopping area. The reasons given for the request generally included safety concerns, use of the driveway by heavy trucks, near misses of vehicle /pedestrian accidents and the use of the general area by students of the Center Street Elementary and Middle Schools particularly during the morning drop -off and afternoon pick -up hours. Communitv Meetina of October 22.2003: The Traffic Committee, consisting of staff from the City Public Works and Police Departments, held a public community meeting to receive input from impacted residents and businesses. The City mailed over 250 notices of the meeting to the Village businesses and to impacted residents in the area, south of Mariposa Avenue and east of the Village, up to Washington Street. At this meeting, fifteen (15) people expressed their opinions. Seven (7) spoke in favor of the requested closure; seven (7) spoke against the closure (including one (1) from the agent of the owner of the Village property offering certain mitigation measures to address the resident's concerns); and one (1) had no particular position. The School District was'invited to the meeting but was not represented at the meeting. The comments received at this meeting are summarized as follows: A. Reasons given in support of closing the driveway: Several near miss accidents were observed by residents involving pets, school children, skateboarders and vehicles /trucks going in and coming out of the driveway. Page 1 of 3 si 47 Mary Strenn, City Manager Mariposa Village Driveway at Pine Avenue November 20, 2003 Page 2 (continued) 2. Vehicles using the driveway use it as a shortcut from Center Street and Mariposa Avenue to access the residential area east of the Village area. 3. Speeding of vehicles in Pine Avenue and running of the stop sign at the Pine Avenue / Nevada Street intersection. 4. Pine Avenue is not a designated truck route in the City General Plan but used by delivery trucks servicing the Village. 5. During the school morning drop -off and afternoon pick -up hours, the Village area has many school children and drop -off and pick -up traffic. 6. After closure for vehicles, pedestrian access from Pine Avenue to the Village must be maintained. B. Reasons given in opposition to closing the driveway. 1. Closure will be detrimental to the Village businesses. 2. Traffic on Center Street and Mariposa Avenue is the real problem and not the driveway. Closure of the driveway will divert traffic to these two (2) streets making the traffic on these two (2) streets worse. 3. Closure will inconvenience residents east of the Village and negatively impacts emergency response. 4. The Village had use of the driveway for many years and closing the driveway may constitute a "taking" of property rights resulting in the City compensating the Village property owner. 5. The owner of the Village property (through the property management agent) offered to implement some mitigating measures, such as enforcing that truck deliveries do not use Pine Avenue for access , install speed bumps adjacent to the driveway and reconfiguring the Village parking lot circulation if necessary. Note: Four (4) letters opposed to the closure and one (1) letter from the Village properties agent were also received by staff. The Traffic Committee's work indicated the following findings: Even though the City General Plan does not designate Pine Avenue as a truck route, the State Vehicle Code permits use of any City street by a commercial vehicle making pick- ups or deliveries of goods, wares and merchandise. It is noted that Mariposa Avenue and Center Street are also not designated as truck routes in the General Plan. 028 Mary Strenn, City Manager Mariposa Village Driveway at Pine Avenue November 20, 2003 Page 3 (continued) 2. A research of the Police Department records did not indicate any accidents on record at or adjacent to the driveway. 3. The City Fire Department has stated that the Pine Avenue driveway provides an additional access point for emergency vehicles and has recommended that if the driveway is closed, provisions be made to permit emergency access (drive through barricades for example) and access to the fire hydrant at the Pine Avenue dead -end. 4. A survey of the site by the Police Department did not indicate extraordinary usage of the driveway during the school student pick -up and drop -off times. 5. Closing the driveway would increase the existing traffic on Mariposa Avenue (currently 5,900 vehicles /day) and Center Street (currently 3,300 vehicles /day) by diverting traffic that would have normally used Pine Avenue to access the Village area. In the committee's opinion this increase will be insignificant. 6. Based on information available, the Committee could not make the finding that the driveway poses a traffic safety concern. Recommendations: The Committee could not make the finding that the driveway poses a safety concern in order to recommend closing the driveway. 2. The Traffic Committee recommends that the owners of the Village shopping area be given an opportunity to implement and enforce the mitigation measures offered bythem to address the resident's concerns. It is further recommended that a six (6) month trial period be established to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. 3. Any future decisions to close the driveway should be based on a "quality of life" policy consideration for residential areas outside the purview of the Traffic Committee. BKD:dr Attachments: 1.

Devara City Engineer Re: Your Letter October 1, 2003 Mariposa Market Dear Mr. Devara: I read the referenced letter with great interest. It is true that there is a considerable safety hazard in and around the Mariposa Market. More specifically the problem has to do with children who frequent the area after leaving the Middle school. What is occurring is that the children are using the parking lot as a gathering place and engage in all types of disturbing activities including loitering even though there are prohibiting signs posted. It is my understanding that the police are hamstrung in that the City has not have the necessary anti - loitering statutes on the books. Additionally, parents are using the lot as a pick up place causing all sorts of traffic disruption in the afternoons. The only remedy currently available is to make daily calls to police dispatch, which is extremely annoying on both ends of the line. It is respectfully suggested that what is being prescribed, that is the closing of Pine Avenue might make things better for people for people in the adjoining cul -de -sac it would only serve to make the plight of the businesses in the center worse by creating an arena for the children and making access more difficult. Rather than blocking Pine Avenue it may be better to create the necessary enforcement tools for the police that would allow them to cite offenders. It is obvious that their occasional presence is not solving the problem..

Devaraj: RECEIVED 0 C T 14 2003 Pusuc WORKS EN6INEMNG We are in receipt of the notice regarding the closure of the Pine Avenue entrance to the Mariposa Village parking lot. Let us state immediately that we are opposed to this action. As you are aware, there are currently three entrances to this parking lot. It is imperative for the safety of our school -aged children and their parents as well as for the convenience of our customers that the Pine Avenue entrance remains open. During the day the two nearby schools, Center Street Elementary and the Middle School have hundreds of children entering and exiting the schools as well as conducting walking field trips throughout the day. It is a potentially very dangerous situation for the children as well as the drivers attempting to enter and exit the Mariposa Village shopping center. In addition to the heavy pedestrian traffic, there is considerable simultaneous vehicular traffic due to parent pick -ups. The businesses in the center open very early in the morning and remain open into the evening. We need to have access to our parking lot for our customers attempting to avoid these dangerous traffic situations. The Pine Avenue entrance provides our customers with an alternative entrance during the many times a day that there are literally dozens of children pedestrians and automobiles blocking the Center Street and Mariposa Avenue entrances., We understand that the residents on Pine Avenue don't wish to have vehicles traveling in their block. However, there is a far greater danger in limiting the entrance to the Mariposa Village parking lot to the Center Street and Mariposa Avenue entrances. We appreciate your consideration of our opinion. We don't want to have another accident similar to the one that occurred in the Rite Aid parking lot not long ago.

On Friday the 2151 of November 03' at about 11:50 AM I observed the Para Medic ambulance heading North on Center Street in its emergency mode. The operator made an immediate right turn into the Village Center with lights flashing and accompanying warning sounds. The operator negotiated the Village parking lot and exited onto Pine Ave., making use of the driveway in question. Oddly enough, those receiving the emergency service were located at 1150 Pine Ave., the home directly opposite the driveway. I would also appreciate those residing at 1150 Pine Ave., who were the recipients of the emergency service, to keep in mind, that this is an example of how expeditious aid to their safety and well being is of less importance than the satisfaction gained for those who are promoting the driveway closure. In so much as my work does not permit me to attend City meetings, I would appreciate you offering this information for discussion. I would also appreciate hearing your position on this matter.

I have been a resident of El Segundo for the past 25 years, and I have also owned the Village Laundry since 1976'. It is from this long term involvement that I base my comments and concerns. I51 I am concerned about the arbitrary and capricious nature of this proposal. It appears to be driven by self interest, namely, the belief that ones property value will be enhanced, not community concern. That is, the driveway has existed for in excess of 40 years. Those individuals buying homes in the area did so knowing full well of the location of the Village and its points of access, and now they wish to change it for their own personal gain. 2 "d The driveway does provides convenient, as well as emergency and escape access for the neighborhood. 3`d The closure of the driveway would impact the traffic condition at the intersection of Mariposa and Nevada, where visibility and the increased traffic usage may create a hazardous situation 4" It should also be noted that any change to an existing locality eventuates modifications and alterations to the adjoining areas, all of which cost the community more time and money.

Speed of passenger vehicle traffic exiting on to East Pine Ave. and the associated concern relative to the safety of children playing in the area, or adults, walking in the area. 2. Safety and noise concerns related to delivery truck traffic that uses the East Pine Ave exit following deliveries made to commercial tenants of the Mariposa Village. Based on what we believe are the concerns of the local residents and with the cooperation of the commercial tenants of the Village, the management is prepared to take the following remediation: 1. In order to reduce the speed of passenger vehicle traffic entering and exiting from East Pine Ave, we will work with the City of El Segundo to design and install speed reduction barriers immediately inside this driveway entrance /exit. 2. We will work to secure the commitment and cooperation of all commercial tenants in having all commercial truck traffic deliveries made by use of either the Center Street or Mariposa Avenue entrances /exits at all times. Additionally, we shall cause the parking lot to be re- striped should such be needed to allow for an orderly flow of traffic in the center. §§ In order to ensure that these measures adequately address the concerns of our local residents, and in a spirit of win -win, we propose the owner /management of Mariposa Village be given a 90 day period for evaluation of the effectiveness of these voluntary measures. During this evaluation period we welcome any cooperative comments, questions, concerns from local residents be addressed to us directly. We are open to this dialogue and to working with you to solve any safety issues that may arise due to our East Pine property. 039 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 16, 2003 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Reports of Committees, Boards and Commissions AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding a presentation by the Senior Housing Board 2004 Budget for the Park Vista Senior Citizen Housing Complex. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Approve 2004 Budget for Park Vista Senior Citizen Housing. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action regarding this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: At the Senior Housing Board meeting of November 24, 2003, the Board approved the budget document for presentation to City Council at the December 16, 2003 meeting. The El Segundo Senior Housing Board is recommending Council's approval of the 2004 Budget for the Park Vista Senior Citizen Housing Complex. The current fiscal year concludes December 31, 2003. Rising costs have caused Park Vista to operate at a deficit each month. The El Segundo Senior Housing Board, together with CHMS Management Company, has prepared the most fiscally responsible budget for the upcoming year of 2004. The budget for the El Segundo Senior Housing Corporation reflects the second year of the four year plan of an annual 2% rent increase that will commence January 2004. The most significant increase in expenses is in the area of insurance; refer to line 6720 -0000. Additionally, utilities, cable television and other operating costs have increased. Anticipated annual revenue for 2004 is $466,989 (line 5999 -0000) and expenses are anticipated to be $515,425 (line 6897 - 0000). Capital expenditures in 2003 significantly decreased the reserve account. The total reserve balance as of December 1, 2003 is $239,294 and budgeted replacement expenditures for 2004 are $144,121 (line 6968- 0000). It has been necessary to withdraw from the reserve account to cover the monthly deficit; therefore, the Senior Housing Board is recommending a significant decrease in the periodic contributions to the reserve account. The Board continues to actively investigate methods to decrease expenses in a continuous effort to minimize financial impacts to the residents. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1.

Members serve without compensation, for 4 -year terms, without term limits. The Director of Administrative Services and the Director of Public Works provide staff support to the committee. The committee assists in the development of the 5 -year Capital Improvement Program ( "CIP "). Each year staff proposes CIP projects for a 5 -year period. The committee reviews these projects and makes recommendations to the City Council for funding consideration in conjunction with the City's annual budget process. In addition to the projects proposed by staff, the committee holds a community workshop each year to receive project requests from the general public. The committee generally meets at 7:00 p.m., on a weekly basis during the months of February, March, April and May, with the goal of finalizing its recommendations to the City Council in June. Community Cable Advisory Committee: (Recreation & Parks) was restructured in July 1994.

Contingency is capped at 4.0% each year beginning with the October 2004 payment date. There will be no cap for the year ending October 2008, provided however, that the cumulative maximum contingency payment for the time period October 1, 2004 through October 1, 2008 may not exceed 10% ** Subject to item #8 below, the first .83% of contingency money will be used to offset cost of medical insurance premium increases. 8. In recognition of the anticipated increased cost of City paid medical insurance premiums, the compensation increases in this package will reflect a charge of .83% (first from any contingency increases, otherwise from salary increases in years 4 and 5 of the MOU). During the term of the MOU, either party may reopen the contract in order to consider alternatives to the PERS medical plan. The City agrees that it will only propose plans that provide for a cost - effective, comprehensive medical package for employees and their families (i.e., provides comparable benefits to current plan including portability). There will be no change in insurance plans prior to January 2006 without agreement of the parties. 9. The City and The Association agree that the 10% additional compensation over the last 4 years of the contract is contingent upon new business license revenues and new net sales tax revenues (collectively "New Revenues "). New Revenues are defined as business license revenues and sales tax revenues generated from businesses entering and doing business in the City for the first time after September 30, 2003 and does not include businesses doing business in the City as of September 30, 2003 that expand or transfer locations within the City or consolidate their business from locations outside the City to within the City; or new businesses that are formed after September 30, 2003 but are controlled or owned (majority interest) by businesses located in the City as of September 30, 2003; or mergers and acquisitions that in anyway involve businesses that were located in the City as of September 30, 2003 even if the resulting entity is an entity that was not located in the City as of September 30, 2003. Additionally, financial incentives of any type whatsoever to any business generating New Revenues and payments the City is required to make to any entity based upon the providing of such incentives shall be deducted from the New Revenues for purposes of determining the amount of revenues eligible for the contingent payments contemplated hereunder. New sales tax revenue will be determined by confirming with the City's sales tax consultant a list of new sales tax producers generated after September 30, 2003 and evaluated at the end of each fiscal year. For purposes of this Agreement "new sales tax producers" shall mean the same thing as new businesses, as described above. Any new sales tax counted toward the 10% contingency will be net of any revenue or offsetting costs that may be required by, or as a part of, a development or other tax sharing agreement. The Association agrees that it will not interfere with or otherwise impede the City's ability to enter into a tax sharing /reduction agreement or similar arrangement with new businesses. Contingency is cumulative and any eligible revenue generated beginning in year one will be designated to the contingency over the term of the contract. 10. Parties agree to work jointly to develop a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding that contains all rules, regulations, policies and procedures currently in effect that relate to wages, hours, benefits and working conditions. 11 The City and the Association agree that during the term of this agreement, the City contribution for medical insurance will equal that provided to the El Segundo Police Officers Association.

Litigated claims are handled by Derek Straatsma, Esq., a partner with the firm of Goldman, Magdalin and Krikes, with coordination and support provided by SCRMA's Senior Claims Examiner and the City's Human Resources Manager. SCRMA has served as the City's third -party administrator since 1988 and its' current contract was awarded in 1999, following a formal Request for Proposal process. The current Request for Proposal process was initiated on October 16, 2003. Request for Proposal packages were sent to 10 firms and 6 firms submitted responses. Proposals from the 6 firms were evaluated by Administrative Services Department staff and input was also provided by the City's Workers Compensation Program attorney, Derek Straatsma. The following selection criteria was used to select the successful bidder: Established record of consistent professional service and reputation within the industry. y High quality references from public entities, particularly full service municipalities. Y Staffing and experience levels. Cost effectiveness of medical and legal cost containment services and activities. ➢ Overall cost - benefit advantages. The "Scope of Work" included in the Request for Proposal package was provided by the Independent City's Risk Management Association (ICRMA), a liability insurance Joint Powers Authority, of which the City is a member. Staff added to the "Scope of Work" that the City reserves the right to approve of the assignment of the primary claims examiner involved in the administration of the City's Workers Compensation claims. Southern California Risk Management Associates is the firm which staff is recommending for selection, based on the following reasons: SCRMA has served as the City's TPA since 1988, most recently having its' contract renewed in 1999, following a formal Request for Proposal process. Staff has been consistently satisfied with the quality of services provided by SCRMA over this 15- year period. :- SCRMA is located in Upland and operates exclusively within the State of California, and its' 270 public sector clients (74 cities) make up 85% of its' client base. The experience and documented performance of the Senior Claims Examiner assigned to administer the City's Workers Compensation claims. The Senior Claims Examiner is assigned a caseload consisting solely of Southern California cities and Fire Protection Districts. Prior to joining SCRMA, she had 11 years of experience as a claims examiner, employed at the City of Long Beach in its' Workers 076 Compensation unit. A successful audit, conducted by George Kingston for the City, within the last year. ➢ Positive feedback regarding SCRMA's claims examining staff provided by Bickmore Risk Services, the professional support group retained by ICRMA. Their extremely competitive, fixed price approach to contract costs. SCRMA will not increase its' costs in a contract year, regardless of any increase in the number of reported claims. As aggressive, seasoned, stand alone "fraud detection" unit. SCRMA is extremely well positioned to assist the City in our 2004 implementation of the new Risk Management Manual; to provide training for departmental Workers Compensation Coordinators and on -line imputing of Workers Compensation claims; and establishment of a City -wide Return to Work (modified, light duty) Program. The Professional Services Agreement reflects a three -year contract between the City and SCRMA, with a fixed price cost of $50,650 for the first year. The contract also provides an option to renew SCRMA's services for an additional two years, upon mutual consent of both parties. The Professional Services Agreement in Section 9, "Termination of Agreement ", also provides that the City upon 30 days written notice or 120 days by contractor written notice may terminate with or without cause this Agreement.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Approve relocation of Farmers' Market to the 400 block of Main Street; and 2. Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: On May 4, 1999, City Council approved funding for the operation of an El Segundo Certified Farmers' Market to be held on Thursday's from 3 P.M. to 7 P.M. in front of City Hall. During the construction of the Downtown Improvement Project, the Market was temporarily relocated to the Jocelyn Center parking lot and the adjacent public parking lot. At that location, business for the market vendors dropped significantly (as much as 35 %-40% for some vendors). Seven farmer - vendors have ceased participating due to the drop in their volume of sales. Also, in October, the Downtown El Segundo Committee of the Chamber of Commerce forwarded a letter to the City expressing their support of the Market's return to Main Street (Attachment A). Staff has reviewed alternatives that would allow the Market's return while complying with fire safety rules. The location of the fire station in the 300 block makes compliance with fire safety rules difficult and provides no room for growth of the Market. On Main Street, the only viable alternative is the 400 block. Staff has contacted merchants in the 300& 400 block and there is strong support for the Market by a majority of those merchants. A map showing the configuration of the Market at that location is attached (Attachment B). In addition to the relocation of the Market, staff is in the process of drafting an ordinance for the Council's consideration in the near future. That ordinance would accomplish three things: 1. The collection of fees, including business license fees, would be formalized; 2. Sales in the public right -of -way would be authorized; and 3. The adoption of Market rules and regulations would be formalized.

This shopping district is a very special one, and we appreciate the tenacious schedule to complete this by December Ist goal. We hear that it is ......... so far, so good! The downtown business community has clearly been impacted because of the construction, and we are excited about seeing this project come to its final stage. One important feature that we are most looking forward to embracing, again, is the Farmers Market. This Thursday afternoon event brings many things to the downtown area. Besides the people who shop here, which are most important, the Market creates a very vital sense of community... which is what truly makes El Segundo so unique. There is a great sense of belonging for those who shop in this open -air environment, one that will be magnified with the newly designed streetscape. After taking an informal poll from the Farmers Market vendors, they, too, are looking forward to their return onto Main Street. If there is any reason for us to not expect this wonderful event back onto Main Street.... we would be grateful for your comments and input.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Authorize staff to proceed with identifying an interested participating city to begin negotiations for the exchange of unallocated CDBG funds totaling $97,095, establish an exchange rate, and return to the City Council with a resolution authorizing the exchange of CDBG funds with another City. 2. Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: The City of El Segundo possesses an unallocated balance of Community Development Block Grant funds totaling $97,095. These funds consist of accumulated CDBG monies that were carried over after the close of the 2002 -2003 CDBG Program Year, and CDBG funds returned to the City as program income from the close of the CDBG Minor Home Repair project's deferred loans. If unspent by March 31, 2004, the County of Los Angeles Community Development Commission, under authority from the HUD, may recapture these funds from the City of El Segundo.

For reference purposes, in addition to 2002 -2003 closed -out funds being carried forward, this situation developed as a result of insufficient time necessary to identify unallocated CDBG funds available to add to existing 2002 -2003 eligible CDBG projects prior to the close of the CDBG Program Year, June 30, 2003. For example, the recently completed CDBG Project, "Installation of ADA Elevator in City Hall ", had an original CDBG project budget of $75,000. Recognizing that available 2001 -2002 unallocated CDBG funds could supplant General Fund money, one amendment to add an additional $100,000 in CDBG funds was completed in December 2002. Further amendments were not possible because project expenditures did not occur until near the end of the project, and the deadline for processing CDBG project amendments had passed. Unallocated funds may not be added to public service projects due to the expenditure cap established by HUD. ANAI YSIS Staff considered the following alternatives to the recommended action: • Implement a new CDBG project for this current fiscal year. The disadvantage with this option lies in the length of processing time required to implement a new project (generally a mandatory public hearing, City Council consideration and approval by the CDC). Typically, a three -month process exists prior to obtaining an executed agreement to implement the CDBG project. This may not allow sufficient time to expend the CDBG funds by March 31, 2004. • Amend an existing project to add additional tasks or expand the scope of service. This is possible, as the current CDBG- funded project, "Installation of ADA Doors" can be amended to add construction of an additional ADA- approved exterior door at City Hall (entrance to the CEDS Department). However, an amendment will require six to eight weeks' processing time. Please note: ADA projects are CDBG eligible activities and may become a part of the City's long -range CDBG project planning. • Reimburse General Fund costs spend on the previous 2002 -2003 CDBG /ADA City Hall West Elevator Project. Unfortunately, CDBG requirements prohibit re- opening a closed project to add additional CDBG funds. • Eliminate one public service project and, with the balance of funds remaining, expand the other, existing (two) public service projects. This alternative doesn't solve the expenditure of CDBG funds for 2003 -2004, since the maximum amount of CDBG funds have already been assigned to the 2003 -2004 public service projects. It may be a consideration for the 2004 -2005 CDBG Program Year. P \Planning & Building Safety \CDBG \cdbg ccmtg exchange 12 03 doc 128 STAFF REPORT: December 16, 2003 Page 3 RECOMMENDED ACTION Participating cities within the Los Angeles Urban County CDBG Program are eligible to exchange or "sell" CDBG monies among each other. Typically, cities that purchase CDBG funds "buy" the CDBG funds using unrestricted General Funds. CDBG funds often sell at a discount because of the regulatory burden assumed by the purchaser. The current rate that cities purchase CDBG funds range from $0.50 to $0.60 per CDBG dollar. Manhattan Beach and Lomita are two examples of South Bay cities that exchange CDBG funds. Presently, the cities of West Hollywood and San Fernando may be likely buyers. For more than fifteen years, the City of El Segundo has used CDBG funds to support three public service projects: Home Delivered Meals, Senior In -Home Care and Juvenile Diversion. The CDBG Program requirements restrict the amount of CDBG funds that may be allocated to public services. In the past, cities could annually assign up to 25% of their annual CDBG allocation to public service projects. Beginning July 1, 2004, the percentage of a city's total annual allocation that may be spent on public services will be reduced to 15 %. For the City of El Segundo, this translates to a reduction in its total CDBG public service allocation of approximately $27,000 annually to $16,000. In addition to the CDBG funds, the City leverages General Fund monies to support these three projects. As the demand for public services continues to rise and the costs for delivering these services increases, the City's public service projects are under significant budget constraints. For example, the Home Delivered Meals project serves approximately 30 clients weekly. Recently, this number has increased to between 35 and 36 clients weekly (or 7,500 meals annually). The cost of meals has risen to $6.00 per each hot meal, served five days per week. The program still relies on client donations, although the amount donated is not sufficient to close the gap between the annual budget and the increased number of participants and rising program costs. The current annual operating budget of the Home Delivered Meals Program is $25,000. This operating budget has not changed in 10 years. Three different revenue sources support the 2003 -2004 program operation: $9,100 CDBG funds, $9,000 donations, and $6,900 in General Funds. However, if the service levels continue to rise, this program will experience a budget shortfall of approximately $4,000 45,000 by the year's end. Similarly, the Senior In -Home Care and Juvenile Diversion Project operating budgets have remained the same for the past ten years. The total 2003 -2004 budgets are $25,000, and $16,000 respectively. The CDBG portion is $9,100 and the General Fund contribution is $15,900, and $6,900 each. Within the past two years, the cost per hour of senior in -home care service rose from $11.50 per hour to $14.50 per hour. Juvenile Diversion has not raised rates. P \Planning & Building Safety \CDBG \cdbg ccmtg exchange 12 03 doc 129 STAFF REPORT: December 16, 2003 Page 4 RECOMMENDED ACTION (continued) Thus, it is recommended that the City Council consider exchanging CDBG funds as a unique short-term solution to avoiding recapture of CDBG funds, and, more importantly, to provide a pool of available unrestricted funding necessary to maintain existing CDBG public service projects of Home Delivered Meals and Senior In -home Care, for the current fiscal year, without using any other City funding sources or reducing current service levels. It may also create a revenue stream for potentially one or two years' to come (depending upon the amount of CDBG funds exchanged) to keep public service projects operational and shift the financial burden from the general Fund to this new revenue source. It should be noted that, generally speaking, the regulatory burden caused by the CDBG program results is a cost of approximately $1.35 to $1.45 spent for every $1.00 of CDBG funds received. Thus, dollar- for - dollar, the sale of CDBG funds returns the full cost of implementing the program. Exchanging CDBG funds with another city will not compromise the City's annual CDBG allocation in future years. Staff will return in January 2004 to present recommended 2004 -2005 CDBG projects and budgets for the City Council's consideration.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Waive the formal bidding process per the Municipal Code; 2) Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a CPA in a form approved by the City Attorney between the City and Motorola for the FCC license rights to two (2) UHF narrowband channels, its related equipment and services; 3) Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: The El Segundo Public Safety Communications Center operates in the UHF (470 -512 MHz) frequency band in providing emergency police and fire dispatch services for the City of El Segundo. The City currently satisfies its primary police and fire communications requirements by using two (2) UHF frequencies licensed to the County of Los Angeles throughout the coverage area required by El Segundo. This arrangement is scheduled to terminate on July 1, 2004. While it is anticipated that the County will extend the current agreement, and the City has the right to share three frequencies with the RCC, the Police and Fire Departments desire to be the sole license holders on at least two licenses to maximize its police and fire safety services. In order to guarantee minimal disruption when transferring to new channels, the City's options are most efficiently satisfied by frequencies in the 470 -512 MHz band allocated for use in the Los Angeles area. Further, the majority of public safety agencies in the Los Angeles area currently operate in the 470 -512 band. In order to promote interoperability, new channels allocated to the City should be in the same band. Therefore, the Communications Center desires to add two (2) UHF narrowband frequencies to enhance its public safety communication's ability. -continued- ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None.

The City has conducted a thorough study of the availability of UHF public safety spectrum and has determined that there are currently no public safety channels available for purchase in the UHF band in the Los Angeles area except those that the City seeking the authority to purchase from Motorola. The UHF channels allocated for public safety have been exhausted for some time as a result of the demand for interoperable police channels in the Los Angels area. As is demonstrated above, frequencies are a rare commodity and cannot be easily located for purchase. Currently, Motorola has the exclusive rights to two frequencies and so it represents a sole source for the City to purchase frequencies in the current market place. Fortunately, Motorola has an excellent reputation within the market, and logistical considerations and history between the City make the potential agreement with Motorola very advantageous. Motorola designed, provided and installed a major portion of the equipment in the communications center, including the existing radio infrastructure, and are familiar with the design features of the center. The proposed frequencies require integration with, and retrofitting and replacement, of existing Motorola equipment. All supporting documents will be prepared and reviewed by the City's special counsel, Russell Fox, and the City Attorney as to form. 13 1 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 16, 2003 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Reports — City Council Members AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding the annual request of Mr. S.
