AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action amending the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC)

RECOMMENDED
1. Discussion;
2. Introduction of Ordinance and waive first reading;
3. Schedule second reading and adoption of Ordinance on April 6, 2004; or
4. Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On December 2, 2003, the ESMC regarding newsracks was amended to:
1) revise newsrack placement regulations;
2) include lottery provisions for selection of specific newsracks at uniform locations;
3) allow for the adoption of a resolution establishing uniform locations; and
4) provide specifications for the type of newsracks to be installed at the uniform
locations in the downtown.
On February 3, 2003, a resolution was approved by the City Council which identified 10
uniform locations in the downtown and provided specifications regarding the type of newracks
to be installed. At that meeting, City Council directed staff to investigate the feasibility of
revisions to the newsrack ordinance in order to accommodate local newspapers. Staff
investigated newsrack regulations from other jurisdictions. That investigation revealed that
some public entities give preference to newspapers of general circulation adjudicated forthat
jurisdiction when the local public entity is required to publish legal notices in such newspapers.

At City Council's direction, staff prepared the attached draft ordinance which would remove the
current manner for allocating space to newspapers in the downtown specific plan area. The
ESMC currently contains a lottery procedure for assigning spots within the downtown area.
The draft ordinance would establish categories of newspapers and prioritize those categories
for placement in the uniform locations. As proposed, the ordinance would give first preference
to newspapers determined by court order to be a newspaper of general circulation within the
City's jurisdiction. It appears that the only newspaper that currently meets this definition is the
El Segundo Herald. Placement of other newspapers within the uniform locations would be
determined based, in part, on circulation and frequency of publication.

Exhibit A
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 9-4 -160 AND ADDING SECTION 9-4 -165 TO THE EL
SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE PLACEMENT OF
NEWSPAPERS AT UNIFORM NEWSRACK LOCATIONS.
The city council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") § 9 -4 -160 is amended
to read as follows:
"9-4 -160: UNIFORM NEWSRACKS.
A. By resolution, the council may from time to time establish uniform
newsrack locations. The council must first hold a public hearing for
which notice must be sent at least fifteen (15) days in advance to all
persons requesting notice, or whose name and address appears on an
existing newsrack in the subject location, and after such hearing must
find that the location carries a substantial volume of pedestrian or
vehicular traffic, that uniform newsracks are feasible at the location,
and that it is in the public interest for such newsracks.
B. The resolution must describe the location; designate the particular
point(s) at that location where uniform newsracks may be installed;
specify the maximum number of uniform newsracks to be allowed at
the location; and specify the style, size, color or other attributes
required of uniform newsracks at the location. Such specification
should not require uniform newsracks made by any particular
manufacturer. The resolution may direct the administrator to install a
kiosk(s), pedestal(s), or other support structure to accommodate a
stated number of newsracks.
C. No person may install a uniform newsrack at a uniform newsrack
location without first obtaining a uniform newsrack permit from the
administrator.
D. Upon the adoption of a resolution by council establishing a uniform
newsrack location, interested persons may apply for such permit. The
administrator must hold all such applications for thirty (30) days after
Page 1 of 4
[N:\SLane \Ordinances\Amend newrack ordv2 - clean3- 16- 04.docj
March 8, 2004
200
the date the resolution was adopted and may then issue all permits
applied for up to the maximum number established, if any, in the
resolution.
E. No fee will be charged for the uniform newsrack permit.
F. A uniform newsrack permit will, in addition to all other provisions of
this section, be conditioned with all other requirements of this chapter."
SECTION 2: A new § 9 -4 -165 is added to the ESMC to read as
follows:
"9-4 -165: PRIORITY SYSTEM FOR UNIFORM
NEWSRACK PERMITS.
A. Uniform Newsrack permits are determined on a priority system as
follows:
1. The administrator will give first priority to newspapers that
are adjudicated to be newspapers of general circulation in the
city of El Segundo in accordance with Government Code §§
6020, et seq. when applicable law requires the city to publish its
legal notices in such newspapers.
2. The administrator will give second priority to all other
newspapers that are not adjudicated to be newspapers of
general circulation within the city of El Segundo.
B. Should there be a conflict between newspapers within the same
priority seeking the same uniform newsrack location, and there are
insufficient uniform newsrack locations to accommodate the competing
newspapers after first filling as many uniform newsrack locations as
possible by utilizing the criteria set forth above, then the administrator
will assign uniform newsrack locations at random by placing the names
of all applicants for the remaining spaces at a uniform newsrack
location into a container from which the names will be drawn one at a
time until the remaining uniform newsrack locations are assigned.
Such drawing is open to the public at a time and date designated by
the administrator.
C. Applications remaining after assignment of all uniform newsrack
locations must be denied. Where fewer applications are received than
Page 2 of 4
[NASLane \OrdinancesWmend newrack ordv2 - clean3- 16- 04.doc]
March 8, 2004
201
the maximum number of spaces allowed by the resolution, permits for
the remaining spaces may be allotted on a first -come, first - served
basis.
D. Annually, during December, the administrator must use the above
criteria for assigning uniform newsrack locations if the priorities of
newspapers change; newsracks are abandoned; or permittees fail to
renew a permit."
SECTION 3: Repeal of any provision of the ESMC herein will not
affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude
prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring
before, this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will
remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting
violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 4: If any part of this Ordinance or its application is
deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council
intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the
remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions
of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 5: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and
adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El
Segundo's book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage
and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15)
days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to
be published or posted in accordance with California law.
SECTION 6: This Ordinance will become effective on the thirty -first
(31 st) day following its passage and adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of 2004.

utilities. The last rate increase was 1997. Currently, the utilities are not self- sufficient and are
subsidized by the City General Fund.

background information on the utilities and introducing the Task Force to the information in the
studies. That meeting should take place during the week of March 22 "d. It will take at least
three (3) additional meetings to reach a consensus on a rate proposal to forward to Council.

Study by AKM Consulting Engineers 207
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (continued)
In May of 2003 the agreement was amended to include a complete financial analysis and rate
study for the Water Fund. The Sewer Master Plan has been completed and rate studies are
nearing completion. Developing new rates for these utilities is a complex process.
It is appropriate and common to establish a task force to review the draft work of the
consultant and make recommendations for inclusion in the final document.
It is expected that at a minimum three meetings will be required to reviewthe information, hear
presentations from the consultant and staff and suggest changes for the document. The next
step would be to present the studies and recommendations of the task force to Council. Public
hearings would then be held on the proposed new rates.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 16, 2004
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding the submission of a grant proposal to the
Department of Homeland Security, USFA/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. Fiscal Impact: $24,500 matching
requirement in Fiscal Year 04/05.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Authorize the submission of a DHS /FEMA/USFA grant proposal for $244,895.00;
2) Authorize the Fire Chief and /or designee (Emergency Services Coordinator) to act as the
authorized agent for the electronic grant submission;
3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On March 1, 2004, the United States Fire Administration (USFA) and FEMA requested
submission of grant proposals to cover first response needs for equipment essential to
firefighting operations, which now includes potential response to weapons of mass destruction.
The grant submission deadline is April 2, 2004. A total of $750 million will be awarded to
eligible fire departments. This grant is provided on a "90/10" cost formula; the federal
government provides 90% and local government (under 50,000 population) provides a 10%
cost share. The Fire Department's local cost share in this grant proposal is $24,500 (10 %),
which is available through the Fire Department Equipment Replacement fund.
The Fire Department will submit its grant proposal in the category of Firefighter Operations and
Firefighter Safety for personal protective equipment. The grant funds, if the proposal is
approved, will be utilized to purchase self- contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to protect
first responders and hazardous materials response personnel and ballistic resistant vests.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (continued):
The new equipment would extend protection for response to chemical, biological and other
hazards at emergency incidents under 5 NFPA standards. The Federal Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) recently adopted NFPA 1951, 1981, 1991, 1994, and 1999.
DHS adopted 3 National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) standards for
respirators to protect against chemical / biological /radiological /nuclear environments. The
equipment purchased under the grant will meet all of these nationally adopted standards.
The second item requested would provide fire department staff members with a level IIIA
ballistic and blast resistant vest ensemble for staff that may be exposed to high velocity rounds
or fragmentation of up to 1400 feet per second — the highest level of protection available.
The standards for first responders have changed dramatically since the events of 9 -11. The
standard personnel equipment ensemble now requires not only the ability to withstand normal
fire suppression situations, but now must include the potential exposure to weapons of mass
destruction.
The Council has the ability to accept or reject any actual grant funding offered. The Fire
Department will return to the Council with a preliminary award, if announced.
In accordance with the City Council Policy regarding grant submissions:
1. The Federal Department of Homeland Security, under the Office for Domestic
Preparedness (ODP), administers the grant program.
2. The total amount grant funding being requested is: $244,895.00
3. Matching Funds Cost -Share —Local (10 %): $24,489.50
4. Matching Funds Cost Share — Federal (90 %): $220,405.50
5. Source of Matching Funds Cost Share: Equipment Replacement Account (601 -400-
3202 -8104)
6. Municipalities are reimbursed for expenditures under the grant by direct deposit
through electronic funds transfer.
7. Conditions required under this _grant:
a. Establish that an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) be in place
prior to spending grant funding beyond $25,000.00.
b. All equipment purchased under the grant funding, if awarded, is required to
be maintained and replaced under the city's capital equipment replacement
standards.
c. New to the 2004 application is the requirement that each grant applicant have
a Dun & Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number —the
City of El Segundo was issued a DUNS number of 138605311 on March 1,
2004.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding executing an agreement with Civica Software for
purchase and implementation of a content management system for the City website.
COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Civica Software for a Content
Management System by "piggybacking" on the City of Montclair Request for Proposal
(RFP) and subsequent award process.
2) Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
During the 2003 -2004 budget process the Administrative Services department proposed
adding a content management system to the City's website. Some of the major goals of the
program were to allow City staff the ability to update and manage the website without technical
skills; decentralize the function of updating website contentfrom the Information Systems staff
to the individual departments; ensure that all City services, programs and functions are listed
and accessible online; be easily upgradeable by City staff to adapt to changing technologies
and City structures; and include enhanced interactive features, such as City calendars, web
casts and a departmental- feedback system.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Over the last several months staff has participated in demonstrations of three different content
management systems. Each system was evaluated based on how well it would meet the
needs of City departments; how well it would work within the guidelines of the City's
Technology Master Plan; how efficiently it would store the information; and whether it was cost
competitive. The Civica Software content management system best meets these
requirements.
Other cities have competitively bid for a content management system and come to the same
conclusion. Staff is proposing to "piggyback" on the City of Montclair Request for Proposal
(RFP) and subsequent award process the City of Montclair Request for Proposal (RFP) and
subsequent award process. The City Attorney has confirmed that the bid requirements are
substantially similar as the City's requirements. Therefore, staff is recommending the City
Council waive the City's specific purchasing requirements pursuant to El Segundo's Municipal
Code Section 1 -7 -10 and award a contract to CIVICA Software to provide and implement the
CIVICA Content Management System.
233
Exhibit A
Scope of Services
Civica Software's primary business is in building attractive Web sites and
Intranets for Cities and other local governments incorporating powerful content
management systems that allow multiple departments to directly administer and
update their own portion of the site without possessing any technical skills.
Our proposed program for the City of El Segundo will deliver an easy to maintain
Web site, incorporating Civica's powerful content management system, with its
easy -to -use Web browser -based interface for maintenance. This will assure that
the City of El Segundo's Web site is never out -of -date and enable you to
maintain a personal touch with your users: residents, businesses and visitors.
The new Web site will:
• Be revamped beyond the home page, clearly communicating the City's
image
• Integrate all existing departments and provide a unified City Web site
theme. The City branding will be consistently displayed on every Web
page
• Be easily updated by City staff without technical skills, via a powerful, yet
easy -to -use, content management system
• Be easily upgradeable by City staff to adapt to changing technologies and
City structures
• Be easy to navigate and search, and display information in an intuitive
manner, improving overall site usability
• Ensure that all City services, programs and functions are now listed and
accessible online
• Be flexible enough to meet the specific needs of individual departments
• Promote the services supplied and supported by the City, present and
future, and provide a stable upgradeable platform for all e- government
initiatives, including facilitation of a wide range of online transactions
• Significantly reduce the volume of visits and telephone calls to City Hall as
users can now interact securely with the City 24/7/365
• Since users are not always aware of Departmental structures, the site will
ensure that information can be found quickly without this knowledge
• Include enhanced interactive features, such as City calendars, dynamic
foreign language translations, Webcasts, and a departmental Request -
Feedback system

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 16, 2004
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding the approval of a Professional Services
Agreement between the City of El Segundo and Hinderliter, De Llamas & Associates (HDL)
for sales and use tax audit and information services.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Recommendation — (1) Authorize the City Manager to execute Professional Services
Agreement on behalf of the City; (2) Adopt resolution authorizing examination of sales & use
tax records (3) Give current Consultant notice of change in vendors; (4) Alternatively discuss
and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
MBIA MuniServices has been the City's sales tax consultants since October, 1988. Staff has
reviewed the City's current sales tax monitoring, trends, forecasting and custom report
production, and determined it is time for a change. HDL is the only viable alternative to the
City's current sales tax consultant. They recently gave a presentation to several Administrative
Services Managers that was very informative and staff recommends changing Consultants for
Sales and Use Tax Audit and Information Services.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Compensation consists of a fixed fee of $500.00 per month for creating databases,
providing reports and analysis and making software available to City plus 15% of all new
tax revenue received by City as a result of audit and recovery work performed by HDL.
The audit fees apply to state fund transfers received for up to three (3) back quarter
reallocations and monies received in the first eight (8) consecutive reporting quarters not to
exceed a total of eleven (11) after Consultant completes the audit contemplated by the
Professional Services Agreement and the State Board of Equalization verifies such
corrections.
This agreement provides for mutual indemnification which is a deviation from our standard
agreement. This does not require a budget adjustment and is included in the FY 2003-
2004 budget.
237
Exhibit A
Scope of Work
The CONSULTANT will perform the following services:
A. SALES TAX AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
CONSULTANT will establish a special database that
identifies the name, address and quarterly allocations of all
sales tax producers within the CITY for the most current and
previous eight quarters, or earlier, if the CITY has prior
historical sales tax data available on computer readable
magnetic media. This database will be utilized to generate
special reports to the CITY on: major sales tax producers by
rank and category, sales tax activity by categories, business
districts or redevelopment areas, identification of reporting
aberrations, and per capita and outlet comparisons with
regional and statewide sales.
ii. CONSULTANT will provide updated reports each quarter
identifying changes in sales by individual businesses,
business groups and categories and by geographic area.
Quarterly aberrations due to State audits, fund transfers, and
receivables along with late or double payments will be
identified. Quarterly reconciliation worksheets to assist
finance officer with budget forecasting will be included.
CONSULTANT will also provide special ad hoc custom
reports including sales & use tax quarterly reports based on
the prior fiscal year on a cash basis for business license
renewal credits.
iii. CONSULTANT will also provide a quarterly summary
analysis for the CITY to share with Chambers of Commerce
and other economic development interest groups that
analyze CITY'S sales tax trends by major groups, and
geographic areas without disclosing confidential information.
iv. CONSULTANT will make available to CITY Staff the HdL
sales tax computer software program and database
containing sellers permit and quarterly allocation information
for all in -city business outlets registered with the Board of
Equalization and update quarterly. In addition,
CONSULTANT will process for CITY the monthly registration
and allocation files provided by the Board in magnetic media.
Printouts of registration changes and dollars allocated by
238
business name and number will be provided from these files
on a monthly basis.
V. CONSULTANT will assist City staff to develop a database of
sales tax and property tax.
vi. CONSULTANT will notify City staff immediately upon
obtaining information about material changes in existing or
new sales and use tax producers once they become aware
Of it.
B. ALLOCATION AUDIT AND RECOVERY
CONSULTANT will conduct an initial and on -going sales and
use tax audit to identify and correct "point -of- sale"
distribution errors and thereby generate previously
unrealized sales tax income for the CITY. Common errors
that will be monitored and corrected include: transposition
errors resulting in misallocations; erroneous consolidation of
multiple outlets; misreporting of "point of sale" to the wrong
location; delays in reporting new outlets; misallocating use
tax payments to the allocation pools or wrong jurisdiction
and erroneous fund transfers and adjustments.
ii. CONSULTANT will initiate contacts with the appropriate
sales management and accounting officials in companies
that have businesses where a probability of error exists to
verify whether current tax receipts accurately reflect the local
sales activity. Such contacts will be conducted in a
professional and courteous manner so as to enhance
CITY'S relations with the business community.
iii. CONSULTANT will prepare and submit to the Board of
Equalization all information necessary to correct any
allocation errors that are identified and will follow -up with the
individual businesses and the State Board of Equalization to
ensure that all back quarter payments due the CITY are
recovered.
iv. If during the course of its audit, CONSULTANT finds
businesses located in the CITY that are properly reporting
sales tax but have the potential for modifying their operation
to provide an even greater share to the CITY,
CONSULTANT will so advise CITY and upon request, will
239
work with those businesses and the CITY to encourage such
changes.
C. ON GOING CONSULTATION
Throughout the term of this agreement, CONSULTANT will advise and work with
CITY Agency Staff on questions related to tenant mix alternatives for maximum
sales tax returns; advise CITY Business License staff on utilization of reports to
enhance business license collection efforts; provide sales tax projections for
economic development projects and budget planning; and provide general
information and support on sales and use tax related questions. CONSULTANT
will provide periodic special ad hoc reports based on requests of City staff.
2,14 lr
Exhibit B
Cost of Service
The CITY will pay CONSULTANT for its services as follows:
A. For creating databases; providing reports and analysis; and making
software available to CITY, as described in Exhibit A, CITY will pay
CONSULTANT $500.00 per month, invoiced quarterly ( "monthly fee' ).
B. CITY will also pay CONSULTANT fifteen percent (15 %) of all new tax
revenue received by CITY as a result of audit and recovery work
performed by CONSULTANT ( "audit fees ").
i. Such revenue does not include any amounts determined by CITY
or CONSULTANT to be attributable to causes other than
CONSULTANT'S work pursuant to this Agreement.
ii. In the event that CONSULTANT is responsible for an increase in
the tax reported by businesses already properly making tax
payments to the CITY, it is CONSULTANT'S responsibility to
separate and support the incremental amount attributable to its
efforts before CITY pays the audit fee.
iii. Audit fees apply to state fund transfers received for up to three (3)
back quarter reallocations and monies received in the first eight (8)
consecutive reporting quarters not to exceed a total of eleven (11)
after CONSULTANT completes the audit contemplated by this
Agreement and the State Board of Equalization verifies such
corrections.
iv. CONSULTANT must provide CITY with an itemized quarterly
invoice showing all formula calculations and amounts due for audit
fees.
V. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY approval before beginning the
work of correcting tax reporting methodology or "point of sale" for
specific businesses where payment of the audit fee is expected.

vi. Subject to the foregoing, CITY will pay audit fees upon
CONSULTANT'S submittal of evidence of State Fund Transfers
and payments to CITY from businesses identified in the audit and
approved by the CITY.

Background and Discussion (cont.)
City staff accepted the request of Angeles Contractor to withdraw their bid due to a
miscalculation in their Bid of $206,440, and a copy of this request is hereby attached. It
should be noted that Bids cannot be revised after public opening.
With Angeles Contractor's Bid withdrawn, the second lowest Bid was reviewed. A background
check was performed on A.W.I. Builders, Inc. (A.W.I.), including contacting listed references
and the State License Contracting Board and several discrepancies were identified with the
Bid. In attempts to gain clarity on these discrepancies, staff developed further concerns over
A.M.'s understanding of the project, and, ultimately, its ability to perform the work required.
Staff has identified the following concerns with the Bid and subsequently provided information
from A.W.I.:
Upon identifying that a sub contractor was not listed in the Bid for hazardous material
abatement, A.W.I. has submitted requests to add two sub contractors to perform this work.
The addition of subcontractors after the Bid opening requires staff to reject the Bid.
A.W.I. has not provided supplier information for both aluminum windows and fireplace
dampers (required by the Bid) despite this information being identified to A.W.I. as missing
from their Bid.
A.M.'s listed subcontractor for installation of windows and doors has stated that they do
not install windows and doors. Their primary business is with shower doors, mirrors, and
store fronts. (Contract documents require that "Window installation must be performed by
persons with at least two (2) years primary experience in that trade." And similar is required
for door installation.)
Because of the concerns listed above, staff has concluded that it is in the City's best interest,
and the best interest of the property owners, to reject the Bid from A.W.I. Builders, Inc.
A review of the Bid from NSA Construction (the third lowest Bid) was performed, and proved to
be responsive. NSA Construction has performed Residential Sound Insulation work for Los
Angeles World Airports (LAWA). During the background check, representatives from LAWA
gave NSA Construction "high praise" for their work on the project.
The amount requested includes the Total Bid of $1,267,193.67 from NSA Construction and an
additional 10% of that Total Bid for potential change orders due to unforeseen conditions.
As City Council is aware, eighty percent (80 %) of costs associated with the Residential Sound
Insulation Program are covered by federal grant funding from the FAA with the remaining
twenty percent (20 %) of improvement costs paid for by the property owners. When analyzing
the bid prices for each property, staff looked at the out -of- pocket expense associated with
each residence. Out -of- pocket expenses for each owner are based on 20% of the
improvement costs plus those of any "upgrades" requested by the owner to receive items
which exceed the standard modification requirements. These items can be eliminated and
only the necessary modifications be made if the owner determines that the upgrades are no
longer desirable.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
MEETING DATE: March 16, 2004
AGENDA HEADING: New Business
Consideration and possible action regarding a new Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)
license for on -site sale and consumption of alcohol (Type 41 - On -Sale Beer and Wine
for a Bona Fide Public Eating Place) at a new restaurant, Good Stuff, located at 131
West Grand Avenue, EA No. 637 and AUP No. 04 -01. Applicant: Cris Bennett.
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 Good Stuff Restaurant; 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 30 -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 with Type 41 licenses are specifically excluded from the ABC
regulations, which require the City to make findings of public convenience of necessity in
areas of "undue concentration" for off -site sale licenses, but based on previous Council
direction, staff is providing undue concentration calculation background information.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
According to the most recent ABC Crime and Arrest statistics report prepared by the Police
Department, the proposed restaurant is located in Reporting District (RD) 108. Based on
2003 reported data prepared by the Police Department, the district had a total of 14 Part I
crimes and 5 felony and misdemeanor arrests. The district also had 17% below the
average of all RD's based on 2003 reporting data, and does not have an "undue
concentration" of alcohol licenses and crime. Any protests regarding the issuance of a
restaurant license (Type 41) must be filed with the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control
(ABC) during the 30 -day review period, or a 20 -day extension may be requested. The 30-
day review period will end on March 25, 2004. The Police Department and Department of
Community, Economic and Development Services have no concerns with the issuance of
the ABC license, since the overall city as compared to other cities within the county is
considered a low crime location.
The City of El Segundo has a total population of 16,033 and has 23 active Type 41
licenses. The project site is located in Census Tract 6201.02, and has a total population of
3,510 according to the United States Census Bureau data collected in 2000. Based on the
most current regulations adopted by the ABC, Type 41 licenses are not limited by the
population count within the census tract.
The approval of this license request would be for the convenience of serving their
customers at the restaurant, and not a necessity. A request for a new license is required,
since the applicant does not currently hold a Type 41 license, and there was no previous
license issued for this address location. The applicant has indicated that the proposed
hours of operation for the restaurant are from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, seven days a week.
On February 27, 2004, the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services
Department approved Good Stuff Restaurant's AUP application (EA No. 637, AUP No. 04-
01) 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,
March 11, 2004.
The ABC license review is a completely separate application from the City's AUP process,
which requires mandatory findings that are regulated by the Department of Alcohol
Beverage Control. The Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) in addition to
reviewing the city's AUP approval is responsible for running a complete background check
on all alcohol license applicants, as well as conducting site inspections, priorto issuance of
any type of license.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING: March 11, 2004
SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment EA No. 637
Administrative Use Permit AUP No. 04 -01
APPLICANT: Good Stuff Restaurant c/o Cris Bennett
PROPERTY OWNER: 612 Twin Holding, LLC
REQUEST: Sale of beer, wine and alcohol for a newly
constructed family -style restaurant with a semi -
enclosed outdoor dining area.
PROPERTY INVOLVED: 131 West Grand Avenue, Suite C
DESCRIPTION
The Planning Division received the above referenced application for an
Administrative Use Permit (AUP) to allow the sale of beer and wine for on -site
consumption at a bona fide public eating place (Type 41 ABC License). The 1,801
square foot restaurant will be located on the ground floor of a newly constructed
commercial retail development within the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) Zone. The
property is being developed with three commercial - retail lease areas facing Grand
Avenue and a three -story parking structure at the rear. The project site was
previously the parking lot for Ralphs Grocery store, which is now Cooke's Family
Market. The construction of the restaurant is underway, and it is expected to open
by mid -April of this year. The proposed restaurant will be facing south on the north-
east corner of Grand Avenue and Richmond Street. Alcoholic beverages will be
served within the three dining areas of the restaurant, which include an open interior
seating area, an open bar and an outdoor dining area with 66 seats total. The two
interior dining areas are comprised of approximately 750 square feet with 52 seats.
The outdoor dining area is bounded by a 2' -6" high perimeter planter, which is
comprised of 199 square`feet with 14 seats.
The owner of the restaurant will be requesting a new (Type 41) License from the
State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control forthis establishment,
but an AUP is needed since there is no previous business with a license at this
264
location, prior to the adoption of the current code. Section VI.E.4.a. of the El
Segundo Downtown Specific Plan, requires an ALP for on -site alcohol consumption
at restaurants and similar establishments. The applicant intends to provide 199
square feet of outdoor dining as part of the restaurant configuration. Outdoordining
is a permitted accessory use and does not require a discretionary permit, provided
the area does not exceed 200 square feet of floor area.
Planning staff reviewed the application and the Director made the necessary
findings to grant an Administrative Use Permit. The attached letter specifies all of
the required findings for the permit.

The California Redwood has been our state tree for many years,
and when the Oak was recently designated as our national tree, youth
leaders at TREE MUSKMERS came to think that El Segundo should
have an official tree. They zeroed in on the California Sycamore for
several reasons:
• Marcie the Marvelous Tree, a California Sycamore, is one
of our nation's Famous and Historic Trees,
The California Sycamore is the primary tree planted along
Main Street for the revitalization of El Segundo's
downtown; and
• California Sycamore is one of the species the City of Los
Angeles will allow us to plant in the Imperial Highway
median.
Youth managers have been collecting signatures of citizens who
endorse the idea. Angelica Roque would like to deliver the resolutions
to City Council on March 16 with a request that they consider
designating the California Sycamore as El Segundo's official tree at its
April 6 meeting when they will be proclaiming Earth Day.
In sum, this is simply a symbolic action that further recognizes
the important role of trees in our community with no fiscal impact or
action steps beyond the resolution.
Sincerely,
