ENGINEERING.
Northrop Grumman is requesting the City's support to enable the renaming of that
portion of 118"' Street which runs between Aviation Boulevard and Hornet Way as
"Northrop Grumman Avenue ". In November 2002 we relocated our Integrated Systems
(IS) sector headquarters from Las Colinas, Texas to our Air Combat Systems (ACS) site
here in El Segundo. With those business entities now collocated, there is need for
distinguishable identity and a discrete mailing address for Integrated Systems. Our
current ACS mailing address, "One Hornet Way" reflects deference to our Boeing /U.S.
Navy customer for whom Northrop Grumman (ACS) has supplied the F /A -18 Hornet
fuselage from the El Segundo site for many years. Our IS sector product array is
broader and are provided to multiple U.S. and foreign customers and is best served with
a "Northrop Grumman Avenue" mailing address.
Our intent is to support this opportunity by implementing all necessary signage
modifications upon the City's approval and within its guidelines. Your timely approval
on this matter is appreciated and we stand ready to provide any assistance which might
expedite the process and effect the street renaming as soon as possible.
Should you have questions concerning this information, please contact the undersigned.

AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding a recommendation by the Recreation and Parks
Commission to approve an ordinance governing the conduct of special events on City streets
and other rights -of -way and to approve an ordinance regarding the conduct of special events
in city parks and facilities.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Introduce the ordinances and set second readings for each on June 3, 2003; 2)
Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Currently, the City has no formal policy regarding the conduct of most public events on City
streets and city parks. Sections 7 -8 -1 and 7 -8 -2 of the El Segundo Municipal Code outline the
permits necessary for parades on public streets. However, it has become apparent that those
sections are inadequate to provide an appropriate review and permitting process for most non -
city sponsored events that occur on public streets and facilities throughout the year. City -
sponsored events, of course, do not require that type of review and the issuance of a permit.
(Please see attached page marked "Background and Discussion ")
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1) Ordinance regarding the use of public streets and rights -of -way for parades, athletic
events, block parties and public assemblies; and
2) Ordinance governing the issuance of permits authorizing events conducted in city parks
and facilities.

Background and Discussion (con't):
In absence of a formal policy, non -city entities, are required to approach the City Council for
permission, and in some cases, a fee waiver in order to conduct a special event on City streets
and facilities. Such notable examples include the annual Chamber of Commerce Holiday
Parade, the annual ESPOA Car Show on Main Street, and the Richmond Street Fair. In
addition, the City receives numerous requests each year for permission of persons or groups
to conduct "free speech" events on public right -of -way, such groups might include those
seeking to stage a public protest regarding labor /management issues, the protest of public
and /or governmental policy or other activities guaranteed under the rights of free speech.
However, because most of those requests are made within 24 to 48 -hours of a planned event,
staff and the City Attorney's office have been forced to develop guidelines and approval
processes in absence of meaningful Council direction on such matters.
With respect to the use of city parks, the Recreation and Parks Department has developed a
set of departmental policies over the years allowing specific types of activities. Though the
Recreation and Parks Commission has been involved in the development of those policies, the
City Council to date has not adopted formal policy guidelines with respect to the use of public
facilities and parks.
In response to that absence of specific policy, staff is recommending approval of two
ordinances governing the permit process for non -city sponsored public events that occur on
streets and public rights of way and the permit process for non -city sponsored events that
occur on city -owned parks and facilities. The Recreation and Parks Commission considered
the ordinances on April 23, 2003 and recommended their adoption by the City Council. In
addition, the Commission recommended adoption of a resolution establishing appropriate fees
for film, special events and park permits. The recommendation on this item is to set a hearing
date of June 3, 2003 for consideration of such fees.
The following is an overview of the ordinances recommended for approval:
Ordinance regarding use of Public streets and other rights-of-way for Parades block Parties
and Public assemblies
- Defines process to be used by persons seeking to conduct a parade, block party, free
speech event or other event utilizing streets and rights of way;
- Designates the Director of Recreation and Parks as the recipient of all applications for
such events, and establishes a process to be used by the Director in obtaining input
from all appropriate city departments regarding the conduct of public events;
- Establishes guidelines for both the approval and denial of permit applications;
- Establishes appropriate timeframes for the application process regarding special
events;
- Designates appropriate review and notification requirements to be undertaken by the
Director, or designee, prior to issuing Special Events Permits.
- Establishes appropriate review, administrative appeals and appeals before the City
Council regarding permit denials;
') 11.
Background and Discussion (con't):
- Establishes guidelines to be utilized by the Director of Recreation and Parks in
determining the specific conditions that may placed on persons or groups seeking to
obtain a Special Events Permit.
Ordinance allowing the issuance of permits authorizing events conducted in City Parks and
facilities
- The ordinance seeks to mirror the "special events ordinance" outlined above with
respect to the issuance of permits for public events in city parks and facilities (i.e,
special events and free speech events);
- The ordinance also incorporates and formalizes certain recreation and parks
department practices for the purpose of continuity;
- Establishes the director of recreation and parks as the member of staff responsible for
permit issuance and /or permit denial;
- Adds an appropriate methodology for establishing the uniform implementation of use
fees at city facilities (Note: The city currently charges use fees at public facilities.
However, those fees have been established at the departmental level and have not
been approved formally by the City Council);
- Defines five categories of applicants seeking to use city facilities and the application of
fees for each category, as follows:
Category 1 — Local "non- profits" (Residents and 501(c)(3) organizations) — Fees are
waived.
Category 2 — Local "for profits "(In -town businesses seeking to utilize parks or other
facilities) - Pay the basic facility use fees established by the city.
Category 3 — Non - resident, non - profits (Out of town individuals and 501 (c)(3)
organizations) — Pay the basic facility use fees + $10.00.
Category 4 — Non - resident, "for profits" (Out of town businesses who seek to use
facilities) — Pay the basic rate + $25.00 (Note:This does not include filming, which
would be covered under a separate fee schedule).
Category 5 — Any applicant that does not meet the above criteria (Examples: Total
Baseball and Science Adventure Camp who seek to use City Parks facilities for the
purpose of conducting a business enterprise) — Pay basic rate + 25% of gross
receipts or a separate negotiated fee.
Defines appropriate timelines for administrative review, administrative protests of
denials and protests or denials to City Council.
Should the City Council vote to introduce the ordinances, staff will bring a resolution to the
Council for consideration on June 3, 2003 which would establish fees for the park and facility
use categories discussed above.

Dear Mayor Gordon and Members of the City Council:
PAGE 01
On Sunday, July 13, 2003 we would like to stage the 10th annual Keep L.A. Running Run,
Walk and Coastal Bike Cruise charity event in Downtown El Segundo. This event is a 501
(c) (3) charity.
This annual fund raiser supports the El Segundo Education Foundation, the Rosa Parks
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at MLK Jr., Pediatric Oncology Unit, Women's and Children's
Hospital, American Cancer Society, SEIU Local 660 LA County / Special Districts
Employees Disaster Fund, the Breast/ Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.
We invite the City of El Segundo to co- sponsor this event and waive all City fees
associated with the Keep L.A. Running event. As a co- sponsor of this event, the City of El
Segundo will have the City of El Segundo name /logo on race flyers, on race posters, and
race T- shirts. The City of El Segundo will be mentioned in newspaper, radio, and TV
advertising done on the event.
We are asking the City of El Segundo to allow the use of Library Park for our staging area
and for the use of the Indicated streets of El Segundo for our course. (Please see the
attached proposed course map and course description)
The Costal Bike Cruise will start at 7:30 am, with the 5K & 10K Run at 8 am. These events
will start on Mariposa Ave., just West of Main Street. With the assistance of the El
Segundo Police Department, we will operate the bike cruise and run as a "rolling closure"
for street closures, (Traffic can flow just prior to the start of the events, and then, when

bikers or runners pass completely through an area, with police approval, that street or
intersection is opened to traffic.)
As the streets need to be safe for our participants, we are requesting the posting of "no
Parking" signs on the residential streets of the course and the use of street closure
devices (barricades and road cones) as needed.
Parking would be on local streets. We are requesting the use of parking lots and the use
of the El Segundo Shuttles to transport our participants to and from the venue.
The Bike Cruise is a fun bike ride that will be 10 miles and 20 miles in length, and will use
the 10K course plus some additional distance on the LA County beach bike path.
We will notify residents of this event through letters distributed to each home or business
along the route. Also, a course map and timeline will be submitted to The El Segundo
Herald newspaper for publication.
A part of the 10K course will be in the City of Los Angeles. We have had a meeting with LA
Dept. of Transportation and the Pacific Division of LAPD for use of this part of the 10K
course and have their full cooperation to work with the El Segundo Police for a safe event.
The 5K & 10K course will be officially measured by a USA Track and Field official, thus
making the event a "Sanctioned" run. This is a benefit to the City as now you can boast of
having such a course and have this course available for any other run or walk in your city.
We will cover this $1,000 expense.
To add even more to the exciting morning, we will also have a City Historical Mural Walk
using city sidewalks with walkers obeying pedestrian traffic rules.
To enable us to Involve the entire family, at 10:00 am we will host a Kiddie -1K fun run.
This would use West Palm Ave. from Main street to Virginia St., a street already closed for
the run.
To attract runners and local residents to the event, we will have a live band playing in
Library Park from 8:00 am to noon, with event announcements between music sets. A
health and fitness expo to include local businesses will be set up in the park, as well as
food and drink booths with free fruit, bagels, and water for our participants and we can
have a barbecue /pasta dinner. We are requesting permission to have a beer garden on
Richmond Street, between Mariposa and Palm Ave. This would be set up to ABC
standards, with proper fencing and a security guard at the gate to check ID's. Beer will
only be allowed to be consumed within the fenced beer garden area.

AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO AND
THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH (THE SOUTH BAY YOUTH PROJECT)
This AGREEMENT is entered into this day of , 20 , by and between
the CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, a general law city and municipal corporation ( "CITY ") and the
City of Redondo Beach, a chartered municipal corporation, ( REDONDO BEACH) acting as the
sponsoring agency for THE SOUTH BAY YOUTH PROJECT (CONSULTANT). It is
understood by the parties that the obligations performed under this Agreement by THE SOUTH
BAY YOUTH PROJECT shall be performed by the City of Redondo Beach employees
operating THE SOUTH BAY YOUTH PROJECT.
1. RECITALS. This Agreement is entered into with reference to the following facts,
objectives and understandings between the parties:
A. CITY is a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
through the County of Los Angeles. The CDBG program is funded by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pursuant to Title 1 of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1984 as amended ( "ACT ").
B. CITY approved the provisions of federal funds under the ACT to be used to
provide professional services required under CITY's Community Development
Block Grant Program.
2. CONSIDERATION.
A. As partial consideration, CONSULTANT agrees to perform the work listed in the
SCOPE OF SERVICES, below;
B. As additional consideration, CONSULTANT and CITY agree to abide by the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement;
C. As additional consideration, CITY agrees to pay CONSULTANT a sum not to
exceed FIFTEEN THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED dollars ($15,400) for
CONSULTANT's services. CITY may modify this amount as set forth below.
Unless otherwise specified by written amendment to this Agreement, CITY will
pay this sum as specified in the attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated by
reference.
3. SCOPE OF SERVICES.
A. CONSULTANT will perform services listed in the attached Exhibit "A," which
are incorporated herein. CONSULTANT will utilize CITY Community
Page 1 of 13
0 69
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to contract for counseling services for
El Segundo Unified School District students for a three -year period beginning
July 1, 2003 and ending June 30, 2006, and subject to annual review. The
following services will be provided in accordance with the conditions herein set
forth:
1. Identify "high -risk" students suspected of being victims of physical and/or
emotional abuse;
2. Conduct initial assessments of high -risk youth and recommend appropriate
counseling services; and/or
3. Refer high -risk youth to professional, bona -fide therapists for further
consultation, if necessary and where appropriate.
The above services must be provided to the City of El Segundo residents from
households meeting verified low and moderate - income criteria as established by the Federal
Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and the Los Angeles County Community
Development Commission (COUNTY). At least 51% of the clients served must meet said low
and moderate household income criteria and must be verified residents of the City of El
Segundo. Residency information must be kept on all clients served under this program.
However, the nature and condition under which this program will serve its clientele presumes
that the program's recipients are principally low and moderate - income persons (i.e., abused
children).
HUD has determined that the following groups can generally be presumed to be of
low or moderate income and, therefore, qualify for services provided with CDBG funds without
proof of household income status: abused children, elderly persons, persons with AIDS, battered
spouses, homeless persons, illiterate persons, and migrant farm workers. This presumption,
however, may be challenged by CITY, COUNTY, or HUD should it be apparent that a
substantial number of persons qualifying under these guidelines clearly do not meet low and
moderate household income requirements.
B. CONSULTANT will, in a professional manner, furnish all of the labor, technical,
administrative, professional and other personnel, all supplies and materials,
equipment, printing, vehicles, transportation, office space and facilities, and all
tests, testing and analyses, calculation, and all other means whatsoever, except as
herein otherwise expressly specified to be furnished by CITY, necessary or proper
to perform and complete the work and provide the professional services required
Of CONSULTANT by this Agreement.
4. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. While performing this Agreement, CONSULTANT
will use the appropriate generally accepted professional standards of practice existing at the time
of performance utilized by persons engaged in providing similar services. CITY will
continuously monitor CONSULTANT's services. CITY will notify CONSULTANT of any
deficiencies and CONSULTANT will have fifteen (15) days after such notification to cure any
Page 2 of 13
0 7 u
shortcomings to CITY's satisfaction. Costs associated with curing the deficiencies will be borne
by CONSULTANT.
5. DISPUTES AND REMEDIES.
A. Claims, disputes, and other matters in question between the Parties arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, must be resolved by the
following procedure:
1• City and Consultant will exercise their best efforts to resolve disputes
through the development of a consensus. A meeting may be requested by

iv. If the Parties do not agree to mediation, or if mediation does not resolve
the Parties' dispute, the matter may be pursued in Los Angeles County
Superior Court.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On July 2, 2002, the El Segundo City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement
(Number 3027) between the City of El Segundo and Oldtimers Foundation, a non - profit
organization, to implement the City's federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program, Home Delivered Meals (HDM) Project. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, it
may be extended for a period of up to two additional years, through June 30, 2005. The
amendment will also serve to reduce the Oldtimers Foundation annual compensation from
$16,000 paid in FY 2002 -2003 to $15,400 in FY 2003 -2004. The reduction is due to the
City's decrease in its annual CDBG allocation for FY 2003 -2004. The City's homebound
low and moderate income senior adults and severely disabled persons receive one hot
meal with beverage Monday through Friday and one frozen meal for weekend
consumption. Approximately 4,000 meals will be served annually to 30 persons.

subjects covered by the news documentary); or

Northrop Grumman is requesting the City's support to enable the renaming of that
portion of 118th Street which runs between Aviation Boulevard and Hornet Way as
"Northrop Grumman Avenue ". In November 2002 we relocated our Integrated Systems
(IS) sector headquarters from Las Colinas, Texas to our Air Combat Systems (ACS) site
here in EI Segundo. With those business entities now collocated, there is need for
distinguishable identity and a discrete mailing address for Integrated Systems. Our
current ACS mailing address, "One Hornet Way" reflects deference to our Boeing /U.S.
Navy customer for whom Northrop Grumman (ACS) has supplied the F /A -18 Hornet
fuselage from the El Segundo site for many years. Our IS sector product array is
broader and are provided to multiple U.S. and foreign customers and is best served with
a "Northrop Grumman Avenue" mailing address.
Our intent is to support this opportunity by implementing all necessary signage
modifications upon the City's approval and within its guidelines. Your timely approval
on this matter is appreciated and we stand ready to provide any assistance which might
expedite the process and effect the street renaming as soon as possible.
Should you have questions concerning this information, please contact the undersigned.
Sincerely,

and Pacific Pipeline System for Opuglas Street Project
S �.Z
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
This agreement made this day of 2003, between City of El
Segundo ( "City ") and Pacific Pipeline System LLC ( "Pacific ")
WITNESSETH
Whereas, City proposes improvements to property on which Pacific maintains a
16 -inch crude oil pipeline by virtue of an easement granted by Standard Oil Company
(the "Easement "), and said improvements will necessitate relocating approximately 1,100
feet of Pacific's Line 93 pipeline from the right -of -way provided under the Easement to a
right -of -way within City's streets; and
Whereas, Pacific is agreeable to the relocation of the pipeline subject to the
conditions and requirements hereinafter set forth.
Now, therefore in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and as
detailed on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, the parties agree as follows:
1. Pacific agrees to relocate 1,100 feet of its 16 -inch steel crude oil pipeline
from its existing location to the location and depth indicated on Drawing Numbers U -1,
2, 4 and 6 titled Douglas Street Gap Closure which drawings are signed by both the City
and Pacific and is made an attachment Exhibit `B" hereto. Pacific will provide City with
copies of as- constructed drawings no later than 120 days after the completion of
construction.
2. City agrees to grant to Pacific or have granted to Pacific easement rights
for the relocated right -of -way on terms that are no more burdensome or less favorable to
Pacific than those enjoyed by Pacific under its existing Easement.
3. (a) City agrees to reimburse Pacific for all costs incurred by Pacific for
the above referenced relocation. Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit "C" is Pacific's
estimate of the costs it expects to incur in connection with the relocation. Pacific
represents that it has prepared the estimate in good faith, using its experience in pipeline
construction and relocation, but, because of the uncertainties inherent in pipeline
construction in general, and pipeline relocations in particular, Pacific disclaims any
warranty as to the accuracy of such estimate, and Pacific shall not be denied any
reimbursement because it exceeds the attached estimate.
(b) Pacific shall prepare and submit to City an itemized schedule or
schedules with supporting documentation of all costs incurred by it in connection with
the relocation, which schedules may be submitted on a progress or completed project
basis, as determined by Pacific. City shall pay Pacific the full amount of all appropriately
supported reimbursement requests within twenty days after receipt thereof.

claims for damages which may occur, arising out of City's development of the land or, in
particular, with the relocation, except for damages arising solely from Pacific's
negligence or willful misconduct. Further, Pacific shall not be liable for any damages to
the surface of the land, plants, trees or other improvements resulting from City's
improvement project, except that Pacific shall be liable for and shall indemnify City from
and against liabilities, claims and costs resulting from spillage or discharge of petroleum
products or other hazardous substances that is a direct result of the operation by Pacific of
its Pacific's pipeline.
5. City shall provide all permits and inspections necessary for the relocation
at no cost to Pacific.

desired, but will deliver all original materials to CITY upon CITY's written
notice.
2. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and PACIFIC agree that PACIFIC will
act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner
in which is it performed. PACIFIC is not an agent or employee of CITY and is
not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits
CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may
appear to give CITY the right to direct PACIFIC as to the details of doing the
work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that PACIFIC will
follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
3. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. PACIFIC agrees that CITY, or its designee, have the right to review,
obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this
Agreement. PACIFIC agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any
relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access
to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for
the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such
books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a
matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with
this Agreement. PACIFIC further agrees to maintain such records for a
period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.
B. PACIFIC will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining
to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this
Agreement.
4. INSURANCE.
A. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other
times this Agreement is effective, PACIFIC will procure and maintain the
following types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a
minimum, with the limits set forth below:
Type of Insurance Limits (combined single)
Commercial general liability: $1,000,000
Business automobile liability $1,000,000
108
Workers compensation Statutory requirement

requirements of ISO -CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. The amount
of insurance set forth above will be a combined single limit per occurrence
for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy
coverage. Liability policies will be endorsed to name CITY, its officials,
and employees as "additional insureds" under said insurance coverage and
to state that such insurance will be deemed "primary" such that any other
insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto. Such
insurance must be on an "occurrence," not a "claims made," basis and will
not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior
written notice to CITY.
C. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage
Form CA 00 01 06 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).
D. PACIFIC will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of
Insurance evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this
Agreement, endorsements as required herein, and such other evidence of
insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by CITY
from time to time. Insurance must be placed with insurers with a current
A.M. Best Pacific Rating equivalent to at least a Rating of "A: VII."
Certificate(s) must reflect that the insurer will provide thirty (30) day
notice of any cancellation of coverage. PACIFIC will require its insurer to
modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that
failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no
obligation, and to delete the word "endeavor" with regard to any notice
provisions.
E. Should PACIFIC, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at
PACIFIC'S expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments
due to PACIFIC under this Agreement or terminate.
5. INTERPRETATION. This Agreement was drafted in, and will be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, and exclusive venue for any
action involving this agreement will be in Los Angeles County.
6. AUTHORITY/MODIFICATION. The Parties represent and warrant that all
necessary action has been taken by the Parties to authorize the undersigned to
execute this Agreement and to engage in the actions described herein. This
Agreement may be modified by written amendment. CITY's city manager, or
designee, may execute any such amendment on behalf of CITY.

A RESOLUTION RELATING TO STATE -LOCAL FISCAL RELATIONS AND A
STATE BUDGET RECOVERY PLAN
Source: Board of Directors
Recommendation to May 15 2003 S ecial Meeting of
General Assembly: Approve as Amended.
WHEREAS, the state of California faces an estimated budget deficit of $34 $38 billion
or more in FY 2002 -03 and FY 2003 -04 (combined), and in previous state budget crises the state
has showed a disturbing willingness to balance its budget by taking traditional local tax revenues
that fund vital community services; and
WHEREAS, the current raid of local property tax dollars by the state (ERAF) will cost
cities statewide $779 million in 2002 -03, and, after payments to cities from state general fund
Programs and the Proposition 172 public safety sales tax are deducted, cities will provide $489
million in net subsidies to the state of California in 2002 -03; and
WHEREAS, the Governor's original budget proposal and many of the proposals by
caucuses of the Senate and Assembly suggest that local governments make a "contribution" of
increased local tax revenue to solving the state budget crisis without imposing any restrictions on
the ability of the legislature to raid local tax funds in the future; and
WHEREAS, city officials support state leaders who chart a responsible and balanced
course in addressing the state budget crisis and call on the Governor and other state leaders to
ensure the state lives within its means and does not rely on vital local financial resources to
balance the state budget; and
WHEREAS, it is vital to the health of cities that the state continue to meet its
constitutional obligation to adequately fund public education; and
WHEREAS, the state budget recover lan`s
constitutionally shield local general tax revenues that �fund 1pub is safety, proposal
street maintenance
Parks and libraries, and other vital services from state raids in the future; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities assembled in a
Special Meeting in Sacramento, May 15, 2003, that the board of directors may support a state
budget recovery plan in substantial accordance with the following principles and guidelines:
Section 1. League Support Conditional Upon Local Revenue Protection. (a) The
support of the League of California Cities for any budget recovery plan that relies on increased
OVER . .
"contributions" of city revenues or temporary taxes to reduce part of the budget deficit A
expressly conditioned upon the submission by the legislature to the voters of a ballot measure at
the earliest possible election, amending the state constitution to limit the ability of the legislature
to take local government general tax revenues as described in subsection (b).
(b) The proposed constitutional amendmentQl� d limit the ability of the state to seize,
take, shift, divert or otherwise reduce the any property tax, sales tax, VLF (including VLF
backfill) and all ether locally approved tax revenues of local governments unless: (I) the
Governor declares a state fiscal emergency, (2) the legislature approves such action by a
supeFeajerity at least a two- thirds vote; and (3) the measure authorizing the seizure of the
local tax funds provides for its full reimbursement in the next fiscal year.Q n
Section 2. Balanced Budget Recovery Plan. Any budget recovery pland'hc
fiscally prudent and rely significantly on cuts to state general fund (SGF) expenditures while
avoiding reliance on local tax revenues to finance the current deficit or future state spending. If
the budget recovery plan also relies on the issuance of debt instruments or temporary taxes to
finance part of the deficit over a period of years, strict limitations should be imposed on state
general fund spending to prevent future state fiscal crises; provided, however, the state should
give high priority to public safety programs. The voters should be asked to approve a prudent
state general fund reserve requirement. ,
EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 20, 2003
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding anew Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license
for on -site sale and consumption of alcohol (Type 41 — Beer and Wine ) at a new restaurant,
Havana Sandwich Company, located at 229 Main Street, EA No. 613, AUP No. 03 -02, and
ABC 03 -02. Applicant: Havana Restaurants, Inc.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
(1) Determine that the City does not protest the issuance of the new ABC license for the sale
of beer and wine at Havana Sandwich Company; or,
(2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
At its April 4, 1995 meeting, the City Council directed staff to bring all future ABC licenses to
them for review. The ABC regulations (Section 23958.4, 23987, 24200, and 25612.5) of the
Business and Professions Code require a 40 -day review and comment period, for alcohol
sales at restaurants, after notification of the local police and planning departments. The
grounds of a protest should relate to public health, safety or welfare concerns. Restaurants
are specifically excluded from the ABC regulations, which require the City to make findings of
public convenience of necessity in areas of "undue concentration" but based on previous
Council direction, staff is providing undue concentration calculations as background
information.

1. Undue Concentration Calculations
2. Crime and Arrest Statistics by Reporting Districts (RD)

11."
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
The proposed restaurant would be located in Reporting District (RD) No. 112, which has an
"undue concentration" of alcohol licenses. However, there is no "undue concentration., of
crime in RD No. 112 (13% above average of all RD's based on 2002 -2003 reporting data. An
undue concentration is defined by state law as 20% above the average). Only two alcohol
related arrests have been reported for 2002 -2003. Any protests regarding the issuance of a
restaurant license must be filed with the ABC during the 40 -day time frame, or a 20 -day
extension may be requested. The Police Department and Department of Community,
Economic and Development Services have no concerns with issuance of the ABC license.
A request for a new license is required since the applicant does not currently hold a Type 41
license. The previous tenant was a women's retail clothing store, so there is no Type 41
license that can be transferred for this site. The applicant has indicated that the proposed
hours for alcohol sales are seven days per week between the hours of 11:00 AM until 10:00
PM, Sunday through Saturday.
The ABC review is a completely separate review process from the City's Administrative Use
Permit (AUP) process, with mandatory findings that are regulated by the State Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control. ABC runs a complete background check on all applicants, as
well as conducting site inspections, prior to issuance of any type of license. On May 2, 2003,
the Director of Community, Economic and Development Service Department approved
Havana Restaurants, Inc.'s AUP application (EA No. 613, AUP No. 03 -02) and the Planning
Commission review of this request as a Receive and File item on their agenda, is scheduled
for the regular Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, May 22, 2003.

non - functioning shutter system and replacement of all exterior windows with modern energy
efficient windows. The exterior louvers will be removed and window treatments added. The
first phase will address the windows facing the City Hall Plaza. The second phase will include
the remaining windows. The project will not only enhance the appearance of City Hall, but will
also reduce the amount of energy needed to cool or heat the building.

reviewed by the auditor: Medical Bill Payments, Staffing, Litigation Management, Vocational
Rehabilitation, Diary Control, Contact Program, Subrogation, File Documentation, Fines and
Penalties, Claim File Control, and Individual Case Reserving. As in the case of most claims
administration programs, SCRMA's performance was good in 8 of the 11 areas and can be
improved in the other 3. SCRMA's performance is superior to most other claims programs
reviewed by the auditor.
The Audit of Workers' Compensation Claim Management Program Report will be available
