Element in compliance with State Law beginning this fiscal year and concluding by July 2008. The Housing Element must be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for its review and certification by July 2008. On July 17, 2007, the city hired Willdan to prepare the City's Housing Element Update and CEQA analysis. Revising the Housing Element requires public hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council. The Planning Commission makes recommendations regarding the Housing Element to the City Council. The City Council must adopt a revised Housing Element before it is sent to HCD for certification. This public workshop is intended to provide the City Council and the public with an overview of the Housing Element process for the 2008 -2014 Housing Element Update, including a review of applicable law; community profile report that addresses existing conditions; an overview of the existing Housing Element Goals, Policies, and Objectives; and an opportunity to receive community input regarding the Housing Element update. Willdan and City staff will provide a presentation and facilitate a discussion of the Housing Element Goals, Policies and Objectives. California Government Code § 65588 requires that cities review and revise the Housing Element of their Comprehensive General Plans not less than once every five years. The Housing Element is one of the 10 elements in the City's General Plan. The Housing Element must be consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the other General Plan Elements. An excerpt of the existing 2000 -2005 Housing Element (Section 6 regarding the Goals, Policies and Objectives of the Housing Element) are provided in Attachment 1 for reference and discussion in the workshop. The City's existing Housing Element was last adopted in August, 2001 and covered a planning period from 2000 -2005. The current housing planning period runs from January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2014. As a part of the update to the Housing Element, State law requires that jurisdictions provide their "fair share" of regional housing needs. Local governments and Council of Governments (COGs) are charged with determining the existing and future housing need. These must be approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Southern California Association of Governments is responsible for preparing the Regional Housing Needs Assessment for the following six counties: Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Imperial County. On July 12, 2007, SCAG adopted the Regional Housing Needs Assessment which allocated a need for the City to provide 168 new housing units in El Segundo for the Current planning period. The 168 units allocated for the planning period are broken down into the following categories: 44 very low income households, 27 low income households, 28 moderate income households and 60 above moderate income households. Plannina Commission Public Workshop Comments A public workshop regarding the Housing Element Update was held at the Planning Commission's October 25, 2007, meeting. At that time input was taken from the public and L. i3 STAFF REPORT: November 20, 2007 PAGE 3 BACKGROUND Ili DISCUSSION: (cont.) the Planning Commission. Various comments were received from the public and the Commission including: an interest expressed in the possibility of mixed -use (including residential living) in Smoky Hollow; consideration of focusing on ways to meet special housing needs (e.g. senior housing, accessibility accommodation (ADA)). Additionally, the Commission requested that an exhibit be provided at a future meeting to show zones where housing is allowed and information regarding maximum future residential unit build - out. The Commission requested clarification regarding what are the City's legal requirements to provide affordable housing and clarification that property would have to be re -zoned if residential uses or mixed -use including residential uses would be necessary for properties that do not currently allow residential uses. Conclusion and Recommendation The Planning and Building Safety Department recommends that the City Council receive and review the presentation on State Law relating to Housing Element requirements and the Housing Element Update Community Profile Report regarding existing conditions. Additionally, staff recommends that the Council review the existing Housing Element goals, objectives and policies; receive public input; and provide direction to Planning and Building Safety staff and the City's consultant regarding updating the Housing Element goals, objectives and policies. Future Process An administrative draft of the Housing Element and a draft of the City's CEQA analysis will be prepared and then provided to both the Planning Commission and the City Council at future noticed public hearings. The hearing will include a presentation that addresses an inventory of potential future housing sites, an analysis of housing needs, a review of housing programs, an examination of constraints to building housing, and proposed Housing Element goals, objectives and policies. Planning and Building Safety staff anticipates that the Planning Commission public hearing regarding the Housing Element will probably be scheduled in early January followed by a City Council public hearing in mid January. Once, the City Council takes preliminary action on the administrative draft of the Housing Element and a draft of the City's CEQA analysis, the administrative draft is forwarded to the Department of Housing and Community Development for a 60 -day review and comment period as to the administrative draft's compliance with State Law and feedback regarding its potential certification. The Planning and Building Safety Department and the City's consultant will then consult with HCD and address any necessary revisions and resubmit for the second HCD review period (90 days). Final public hearings of the final draft Housing Element are anticipated for review and recommendation by the Planning Commission followed by adoption by the City Council in May and June.

HOUSING PLAN Sections 2 through 5 of the Housing Element establish the housing needs. opportunities and constraints in the City of El Segundo. The Housing Plan presented in this section sets forth the Cut's goals. policies. and programs to address El Segundo's identified housing heeds. A. GOALS AND POLICIES This section of the Housing Element contains the goals and policies the City of El Segundo intends to implement to address a number of important housing - related issues. With a very. limited supply of land and limited public funding sources. El Segundo's housing objectives are primarily to protect and preserve its existing housing stock. In addition to the small amount of new construction anticipated on presently underdeveloped residential land. the City will also provide an opportunity for private development ofnew units within the Smoky Hoilow Mixed -Use district. on the Imperial School site. and in the Downtown and Neighborhood Commercial Zones. The following five major issue area are addressed by the goals and policies of this Element. Each issue area and the supporting goals and policies are identified and discussed in the following section. • Consen•ing and improving the condition of the existing stock of affordable housing; • Assisting in the development of affordable housing; • Providing adequate sites to achieve a diversity of housing; • Removing governmental constraints, as necessary; and • Promoting equal housing opportunity. C"onservin2 Existine Affordable Housing Stock According to the 1990 Census. about 68 percent of El Segitndo's housing units are more than 30 years old. the age at which a housing unit will typically begin to require major repairs. This represents a significant proportion of the City's housing stock. and indicates that programs which assist with preventive maintenance may be necessary to avoid housing deterioration. COAL 1: Preservi,, and protect the existing housing stock by encouraging the rehabilitation of deteriorating dwelling units and the conservation or the currently sound housing stock. ( rn o• f, .1a;[rndn Housing Plan Hrnuinq firmeni 6-1 oiJ PoUcy 1.1: Continue to promote the use of rehabilitation assistance programs to encourage property owners to rehabilitate owner - occupied and rental housing wherefeasible: . Policy 1.2: Encourage investment of public and private resources to foster neighborhood improvement. Polity 1.3: Encourage the maintenance of sound owner - occupied and renter- amvpied housing. Pollen 1.4: Continue to promote sound attenuation improvements to the existing housing stock. Assisting in the Development of Affordable Housin There is a range of household types in El Segundo that need housing to fit their particular circumstances. For example, about 35 percent of the population is between the ages of25 and 44. This may indicate a need for affordable homeownership opportunities. The City seeks to expand the range of housing opportunities, including those for low- and moderate income first -time homebuyers, senior citizens on fixed incomes, very low -, low -, and moderate - income residents, the disabled, military personnel, and the homeless. GOAL 2: Provide sufficient new. affordable housing opportunities in the City to meet the needs of groups with special requirements, including the needs of lower and moderate income bousebolds. Policy 21: Provide regulations. as required in• State lax•, to facilitate additional senior housing and develop programs to serve related special needs. Polies- ZZ: Facilitate the creation of affordable home ownership opportunities for low and moderate income households. Polio- Z.3: Provide an allowance in the Cin• s Zoning Ordinance, as required bu• State law. to permit transitional housing facilities in multi family residential zones and emergenc�- shelters in commercial zones. Policy- Z 4: Providefundingfor the development ofplans for a Community Center to provide expanded and consolidated semices for seniors and large families. Providine Adequate Sites As described in the Constraints section of the Housing Element, historically, less than 25 percent of the land %ithin the City has been used for residential development. The remaining land has been used primarily for a mixture of light and heavy industrial purposes and is not available for residential use. A total of 335 acres arc designated residential/commercial mixed use in El Segundo. Limited land resources thus restrict the amount of residential development that could occur in the City. C to of £t Segundo HouuRt Plan Hawing £temm a. Ui6 GOAL 3: Provide opportunities for new housing construction in a variety of locations and a variety of densities in accordance with the land use designations and policies in the Land Use Element. Polier 3.1: Provide for the construction of 78 new- housing units during the 2000-2005 planning period in order to meet the goals or the Regional Housing heeds Assessment (RHAA). Policy 3.:: Allow property designated for multi family use which currently contains single- famils• development to be recycled for multi -family residential development. Polio-3.3: Permit vacant and underdeveloped property, designated as residential to develop with a diversin• of apes, price and tenure. Policy 3.4: Encourage new housing to be developed within the Smoky Hollow- Mixed -Use district. and on the Imperial School site. Policy 3.5: Continue to permit a second dwelling on selected single-family lots when such lots abut higher iniensin• land use designations. Polies, 3.6: Continue to permit a second dwelling on the front of select single-family lots which have a small older dwelling at the rear of the lot. Policy 3.': Continue to permit a third and fourth dwelling on selected two - family lots when such lots abut higher intensin• land use designations. Removing Governmental Constraints 1n addition to the pn ate sector. actions by City and other governmental regulations can have an impact on the pnee and availability of housing. Land use controls. site improvement requirements. building codes. fees. and other local propwns intended to improve the overall quality of housing may serve as a constraint to housing development. GOAL 4: Remove governmental constraints on housing development. Polio- 4.1: Continue to allow second units. condominium conversions. caretaker units and second floor residential use in commercial zones as specified in the Gn• •s zoning ordinance. Polio- 4.2: Continue to allow facton -produced housing according to the Cin• •s zoning ordinance.

EVALUATION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS UNDER ADOPTED HOUSING ELEMENT State Housing Element law requires communities to assess the achievements under adopted housing programs as part of the five year update to their housing elements. These results should be quantified where possible (e.g. the number of units that were rehabilitated). but may be qualitative where necessary (e.g. minization of governmental constraints). These results then need to be compared, with what was projected or planned in the earlier element. Where significant shortfalls exist between what was planned and what was achieved, the reasons for such differences must be discussed. The El Segundo 1992 Housing Element contains a series of housing programs with related quantified objectives for the following topic areas: Fair Housing Opportunities; Groups with Special Needs. Preservation of Existing Housing Stock. Ivew Housing Opportunities; and Resource Conservation. The following section reviews the progress in implementation of these programs. and the continued appropriateness of identified programs. The results of this analysis will provide the basis for developing the comprehensive housing program strategy presented to the final section of this Housing Element. GOAL H1: OPEN AND FAIR HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES All El Segundo bousiog opportunities (ownership and rental. fair - market and assisted) will be offered in conformance with open housing policies and free of discriminatory practices. Objective H 1 -1 (Fair Housing): Disseminate and provide information on fair housing laws and practices to the community. Program H }-1A.

Progress to Date: The City*s Zoning Ordinance has been revised to provide for senior housing in the Multi - family Residential (R -3) zone through a CUP proctss, and (in of Es' Seitundn Houv� Plot, Housing Eirmear 6-6 provides for use of a density bonus pursuant to State law. However, the City has not established specific development standards tailored to senior housing. To date there have been no applications for senior housing projects, therefore: the City has not had' the need to establish the applicable monitoring and reporting procedures. The 97 -unit Part; Vista senior housing development was built prior to the 1992 Housing Element. Objective H2 =3 (Commuoin- Reinvestment Act): Monitor the fending practices of local lending institutions for compliance under the Community Reinvestment Act to evaluate lending activities and goals toward meeting the community's credit needs. Program H -2 -3.1 A. The Cite will monitor and evaluate local lending institutions' compliance with the CPA.

The City is currently updating its Housing Element for the 2000- ?005 cycle. State law requires that the City report annually to the City Council on the progress of its housing programs, and forward this report to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). GOAL H3: PRESERVATION OF EXISTING HOUSING STOCK Preserve and protect the eaisdug housing stock with special attention to housing located is the City's older neighborhoods. Objective H3-1 (Neighborhood Improvement): Assist in the creation of a Neighborhood Improvement Program to provide local resident input and participation into neighborhood preservation and improvement programs (in of E! Jigundo Housing Plan l'loltsing Venven: ro V Program H3-1 A. Assist residents, especially in older neighborhoods, in the creation of a Neighborhood Improvement Program under which the City staff would: 1) promote organizations directed at fostering neighborhood pride and improvement; and 2) provide information on funding resources. Activities might include housing rehabilitation and repair, infrastructure maintenance and repair, weed abatement. abatement of code violations. neighborhood pride and awareness activities. charitable activities, and information outreach, among others. Progress to Date. Although El Segundo has not established a formal Neighborhood Improvement Program, CDBG funds are utilized to support the City's Minor Horne Repair program. In addition, inspectors from the City's Building Safety Division conduct a quarterly windshield survey to identify structures that are in disrepair or have other code violations. The Minor Home Repair and Code Compliance Inspection programs help identify structures in need of maintenance and repair as well as homeowners who may be eligible for assistance. Department staff' for the Code Compliance program provide referrals to the Minor Home Repair program. Additionally, the Fire Department conducts an annual weed abatement program. Objective H3 -2 (N`oise Mitigation): To improve the quality of living within the City of El Segundo by promoting sound attenuation improvements to the existing housing stock. Program H3-2A. The City shall purchase and renovate an existing borne, utilizing all modern sound attenuation devices.

Objective 1113-3 (Condominium Conversion): Develop and implement a program to enforce the Condominium Conversion Ordinance and create a program to monitor conversions to condominium of those rental apartments which house primarily low and moderate income households and limit those conversions that reduce the supply of affordable housing for those income ranges. in o, £. UWanda Housinj Plan Housing £/event 6-8 G�n M Program H3-3.1 A. Develop a program to limit condominium conversion when such conversions would reduce the number of low or moderate housing units available throughout the City. Progress to Date. The City has received only two requests for conversion of apartment buildings to condominiums since adoption of the 1992 Housing Element. These projects were reviewed on a case by case basis. and were both approved for conversion based partially on a determination they did not reduce the availability of low or moderate housing units. Objective H34 (Rental Stock Monitoring): Maintain a database of information on vacanc%• rates. rental rates. and physical condition of the City's existing rental housing stock, and utilize this database to evaluate programs affecting rental stock. Program H34A. The City shall develop and implement a program in which it will periodically collect information on the factors affecting supply and demand of existing rental stock within the City. This information will be used in analysis of rental . housing to be contained in the annual Housing Element Report. Progress to Date. The City maintains a current inventory of the physical conditions of existing rental stock through its Code Compliance Inspection program. As confirmed through the Needs Assessment of this Housing Element. the rental rates in El Segundo are reasonable compared to other nearby coastal communities. and the City has a stable rental market. Therefore, it is not necessary to include a program for analysis of the rental market in the current Housing Element. Objective H3-5 (Rehabilitation): Identify and rehabilitate substandard and deteriorating houstne Program H3-5A. The Building Safety Division will develop and implement a program to monitor and report to the Planning Division information on housing stock that is substandard and/or deteriorating. Identified structures will be reported to the Planning Division for assistance under the City's rehabilitation and assistance programs. Progress to Dart: As described previously. the City has a quarterly Code Compliance Inspection Program which identifies structures that maybe in violation of code due to lack of property maintenance. including poor landscape maintenance, buildings in disrepair. peeling paint and abandoned buildings. These cases are referred to the Code Compliance program and the Minor Home Repair program (as appropriate). under which the property owner may be eligible for a zero interest deferred loan payable when the property changes ownership. This program is supported by CDBG funds. Objective H3.6 (Rehabilitation Incentives 1: Provide incentives for the rehabilitation and presmation of deteriorating rental units which house lower income residents. (in or t:l Jcrunde Housing Plan Howsinp Eiement 6-9 G23 Program H3-6A. The City will develop and implement a program to provide processing incentives .for the owners of lower income rental stock: in need of rehabilitation and preservation. These incentives will include, but not be limited to, the waiving or reduction of planning and building fees and priority processing. Progress to Date: The City's programs and limited funding have been focused on the maintenance and rehabilitation of owner occupied residences. In the future the existing programs described below may be modified to accommodatc rental units. Objective H3 -7 (Rehabilitation - Homeowners): Provide rehabilitation assistance, loan subsidies, and loan rebates for lower income households, persons of special needs, and senior homeowners, to preserve and rehabilitate deteriorating homes. Program H3-7.1 A. The City will develop and implement a homeowner rehabilitation program targeted to lower income, special needs (handicapped, low income large - family, etc.), and senior households that will consist of financial and processing incentives, such as low interest and deferred repayment loans, loan rebates, and priority processing. Progress to Dale: The City provides deferred zero interest loans due at change of ownership up to 57.500 for low income property owners in order to make repairs. In addition, grants of up to 51.500 are available to make handicapped related improvements. Grants of up to S8.000 are provided for sound insulation. The CDBG Minor Home Repair and Residential Sound Insulation Programs provide the funding for these programs. Approximately 30 loans have been financed to date. GOAL. Ha: NEW HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES To provide opportunities for new housing construction in a variety of locations and a variety of densities. Objective H4-1: Permit vacant and underdeveloped property designated as residential to develop with a diversity of types, price, and tenure. Program H4 -1.1: New housing development in txisting and potential residential zones will be achieved through private sector efforts. New development will be achieved through the auspices of State Planning Law and the City's General Plan and Municipal Code. Although there is no special program for this overall objective. it is recognized that achievement of this objective will be heavily influenced by private sector marketing strategies; local, state, and national economic trends: availability of regional infrastructure and services. and other factors beyond the control of the City of El Segundo. Can of £1 Segundo flatting Plan Housing £lrment 6.10 G2`f Progress to Date: The City's Regional Housing Growth needs (RHNA) from the prior planning period wen for 1.112 units. including 156 very -low income. 171 low'income, 224 moderate income, and 561 upper income units. Like other cities in Southern California. El Segundo was hit hard by the recession in the early 1990's and has only recently recovered. During the 1989 -1999 period a total of 149 units have been developed or are under construction in El Segundo. These include 71 single family homes. 56 condominium units and?' apartment units. Over hal f of this development occurred in 1989, with the last condominium or apartment unit developed in 1990. However, three condominium developments (a 10, 3, and 26 -unit project) have been recently approved for construction, reflecting the upswing in the economy. Objective H4-2: To allow new opportunities to be developed within the Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use designation as indicated by the 1992 Land Use Element. Progress to Date: A 28 -unit project was approved in 1993 for construction in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. While this project was never constructed, the application is still currently active. A second 28 -unit project (Holly Part: Townhomes) was also approved in 1993 but the application has expired. A new proposal for a 26- unit condominium project was approved for the site in August of 2000. Objective H4-3: Continue to permit it second dwelling on selected single- family lots when such lots abut higher intensity land use designations. Progress to Date: The City has adopted provisions within its Zoning Ordinance to accommodate second units;where single family lots abut higher intensity uses such as multi - family, and cornmercial uses. The ordinance provides for a second dwelling unit on a single - family zoned lot that has a side lot line that immediately abuts a lot zoned for the following: 1. R -3. Multi - Family Residential; 2. C -RS, Downtown Commercial; 3. C -2. Neighborhood Commercial. 4. C -3. General Commercial; 5. C -O. Corporate - Office; 6. MU -N, Urban Mixed -Use North; 7.

Objective HS-1 (Enemy Conservation): Promote energy conservation in new housing development. On Of E! JWgundv Housing Plan Howing Demem 6-11 ii � J Program HS-U. The City will continue to implement energy conservation measures in new housing development through State Building Code, Title 24 Regulations, and solar orientation of major subdivisions through Title 19 and 20 ofthe Municipal.Code. Progress to Date: The City complies with all regulations as set forth by State Isa , and all new development will be in accordance with these energy conservation measures. Objective HS-2 (Water Conservation): Promote resource conservation including water conservation in new housing development. Program H5-2A. New housing construction developed under a water emergency may be required to develop strict conservation guidelines, including, but not limited to, mandatory installation of low -flush and low -flow bathroom and kitchen fixtures, drought- tolerant landscaping or modification of landscaping requirements until the water emergency is lifted. and requiring the use of reclaimed water in all construction ¢radrng projects. Any such actions shall be in accord with policies adopted by the City in response to declared emergencies. Progress to Date. The City has not been subject to a water emergency since the last housing element was prepared. In the event that a water emergency is declared, the City would follow the water conservation guidelines specified. This would include adhering to the City's water conserving landscape ordinance and guidelines. C it% el L St7undn Hawing Plan Houster Element 6-J: ��Cu C. HOUSING PROGRAMS The goals and policies contained in the Housing Element address El Segundo's identified housing needs and are implemented through a series of housing programs. Housing programs define the specific actions the City will take to achieve specific goals and policies. The City- of El Segundo's overall housing program strategy for addressing its housing needs has been defined according to the following issue areas: • Conserving and improving the condition of the existing stock of affordable housing; • Assisting in the development of affordable housing; • Providing adequate sites to achieve a diversity of housing; • Removing governmental constraints, as necessary; and • Promoting equal housing opportunity El Segundo's housing plan for addressing unmet needs. removing constraints. and achieving quantitative objectives is described in this section according to the above five areas. The housing programs introduced on the following pages include programs that are curmntly in operation and new programs which have been added to address the City's unmet housing needs. Conserving and Improving Existing Affordable HousinP Presming the existing housing stock in El Segundo is a top priority for the City and maintaining the Citys older neighborhoods is vital to conserving the overall quality of housing in the community. Approximately 68 percent ofEl Segundo's housing stock: is more than 30 -years old, indicating that there is .& strong future need for rehabilitation. . 1. Home Rehabilitation Loan Programs The goal of these programs are to offer residents an opportunity to live in a safe and sanitary environment. by offering rehabilitation assistance to lower income single family households. These programs include a grant program for handicapped improvements. and zero interest loans for single - and multi - family rehabilitation. On of EI UTuadv Houmg Plan Howin;' Element (r1,3 la. Minor Home Repair Program (MHR) This program rep, ents the major effort by El Segundo to maintain and improve the City's housing stock. The Program is supported by CDBG funds that provide for minor maintenance and repairs on income qualified owner occupied units. The Cityprovides zero interest deferred loans, due upon We or trat>sfer of ownership. up to a maximum of 57,500 for low - income property owners. In addition, grants of up 51.500 arc available to make handicapped related improvements. Five Year Goal: Provide assistance to sir households annualh•, and advertise program availabilin- through brochures, placement on the Cin• 's website, and in conjunction with the Cin•'s Code Compliance program. 1 b. Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSI) The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) provides rehabilitation grants for up to 80 percent of the cost required to insulate owner occupied single - family and condominium ownership homes. The purpose of this program is to renovate the home with modern sound attenuation devices to reduce interior decibel ranges to acceptable levels. The remaining 20 percent of the cost must be provided by the homeowner, but may be provided through the City's CDBG funds for low income homeowners. The City provides direct grants up to a maximum of S8.000 for owner occupied single - family residences and S6,000 for condominiums, for low- income property owners not to exceed the property owner's 20 percent obligation. Approximately 700 homes in El Segundo have been identified for insulation under this program, with over 120 homes completed to date. Five Year Goal: Encourage impacted residences to take advantage of program, with the goal of completing insulation of all 700 impacted homes. I c. Countywide HOME Rental Rehabilitation Loam Program As a participating city in the Urban County program. El Segundo is eligible to participate in the County's Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program. This program provides financial assistance to rental property owners for the rehabilitation of multi - family units that are made available to tenants at or below 80 percent MFI. It allows the rental owners to rehabilitate affordable rental housing for low- income families by providing financial support through the utilization of publicfpnvate funding sources to nuunWn existing rental properties. Five 1'es r Goal: Advertise program avadabditl- through placement of program brochures at the public counter, on the Cln-'s websuc. and to conjunction with the Code Compliance program 2. Code Compliance Inspection Program The Bui Iding Safety Division of El Segundo conducts quarterly code compliance inspections to monitor housing conditions throughout the City. This allows for early detection and prevention of deterioration in neighborhoods and helps to eliminate deteriorated property On of V Segundo Horsing Plan Housing E/emmi 6.14 conditions in residential areas. Residents cited for code violations are informed of rehabilitation assistance available through the City and County. Five Year Goal: Continue quarterlt• code compliance inspections. Assist in Production of Affordable Housing The Housing Element proposes several first -time homebuyer programs aimed at moving renters into homeownership and promoting neighborhood stability. In addition. new construction is a major source ofhousing for prospective homeowners and renters. However, the cost of new construction is substantially greater than other program categories. Incentive programs, such as density bonus, offer a cost effective means of supporting affordable housing development. The City can take advantage of several programs offered through the County that provide funding support for the development of affordable housing. 3. First -Time Homebuyer Programs While single- family housing comprises the dominant housing type in El Segundo, the City has become a predominant renter community. Homeownership prices are well above levels affordable to low and most moderate income households. The goal of these programs is to increase homeownership in the community by providing mortgage and downpayment assistance to the City's low and moderate income renters. ( tr% of E: Aegundn Housing Plan Housing Element 6-IS V ,j r� �. . 3a. Countywide Affordable Homeownership Program (HOP) The County offers a first -time homebuyer program for low- income households (at or below 8(r.e MFI). including qualified El Segundo residents. The program provides loans secured by a second deed of trust which homebuyers may use to pay their downpayment and closing costs. V1'here appropriate, this program can be used in conjunction with new construction of ownership housing, as well as the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program. Five Year Goal: Advertise program availabilin, through placement ofprogram brochures at the public counter, on the Oh's website, and through contact with the local real estate communin'. 3b. Lease -to-Own Program This program promotes affordable home ownership opportunities for low and moderate income households earning up to 140 percent of the MR. This program is utilized by a growing number of cities in Southern California and is financed through tax exempt bond issues and private long -term mortgage financing. To initiate this program. a joint powers authority from panicrpatrng governments needs to be created to issue tax exempt bonds to buy homes for lease - purchase. The bonds are fully insured by the private sector. Eligible housing stock may be new or existing single - family homes or condominiums, and must be owner- occupied. Under this leasetpurchase program. the lease purchasers must contribute the first month's rent plus an initial fee equal to 1 % of a home's purchase price. The joint powers authority will put 3 0.9 down on each home. The lease purchasers will then make monthly payments roughly equivalent to mortgage payments. After three years of leasing the property, the lease,purchasers can purchase the homes by assuming the mortgages. The joint powers authonty will also pay closing costs which will be discounted by the lenders and escrow companies participating in the program. Five Fear Goal: Contact the Cal f lomw Communities Hoene Ownership Alliance (CCHOA), and Pacific Finance Agenc3- to pursue participation in a Lease -to-Own program. 3c. Mortgage Credit Certificate (NICC) As a means of further leveraging homeownership assistance. the City canparticipate with the County to implementation of a Mongagc Credit Certificate Program. An MCC is a certificate awarded by the CDC authorizing the holder to take a federal income-tax credit. A qualified applicant who is awarded an MCC may take an annual credit against federal income taxes of up to twenty percent of the annual interest paid on the applicant's mortgage. This allows more available income to qualify for a mortgage loan and to make the monthly mortgage payments. The value of the MCC must be taken into considemion by the mortgage lender in underwriting the loan and may be used to adjust the borrower's federal income tax withholding. Con of E! %grundu Housins Plan Housing Element 6-16 VJ Five Year Goal: Contact the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission regarding participation in the MCC program. 3d. Location Efficient Mortgage (LEM) The LEM Program is a new demonstration program implemented by a partnership that includes the Southern California Association of Governments. The program rewards homebuyers for purchasing homes within neighborhoods that reduce the need for a car, by allowing them to qualify for up to $50,000 more when applying for a home loan. These "location efficient" neighborhoods are those in urban communities that are well served by public transit and where destinations are located close together so that residents can walk or bike instead of driving. The homebuyers' savings in reduced annual vehicle expenses are then counted as available income when lenders calculate the loan amount that a borrower can qualify for. Local lenders have been trained on how to originate the loan. The residential area west of Sheldon Street in El Segundo is identified as an area where potential home purchasers are eligible to apply for an LEM. Five fear Goal: Promote use of the LEM program through the Cin -'s newsletten leers and %vbsite. and direct contact with local realtors and lenders. Providing Adequate Sites A key element in satisfying the housing needs of all segments of the community is the provision of adequate sites for all types, sizes and prices of housing. Both the general plan and zoning ordinance dictate where housing may be located, thereby affecting the supply of land available for housing. The Housing Element is required to demonstrate the provision of adequate sites under General Plan and zoning to address the City's share of regional housing needs (R N A). identified as 78 units for El Segundo, including 14 very low income, I 1 low income, 16 moderate income, and 37 upper income units. 4. Land Use Element The residential sites analysis completed for the Housing Element indicates the City can accommodate just over 400 additional dwelling units under ;misting General Plan and Zoning designations. Close to half of these units are located within the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan Medium Density Residential Overlay District (1 2-' units) and on the Imperial School site (65 units). which would require removal of existing uses prior to development. Only 4.1 acres of vacant residential land remain in the City. Residential uses are also permitted as accessory uses in several of the commercial and industrial zones. The Neighborhood Commercial (C -2). Small Business (SB), and Medium Manufacturing (MM) Zones all allow one residential unitper lot. TheSB and MM Zones tie limited to one "caretaker" unit per lot with a maximum size of 500 square feet per unit. These zones have the potential to provide new residential units, which could provide affordable housing opportunities due to their limited size and restriction as for use by a Can aV Sepundo - Housens Plan Housing Elemmi 6 1' rlm caretaker on the property. Additionally, the City's Zoning Code allows the opportunity for joint use, off -site, uncovered and tandem parking which allows more flexibility for new development of residential units, particularly on sites that also have commercial or industrial uses. Five Year Goal: Continue to provide adequate sties through General Plan and zoning to accommodate the Ctn•'s share of regional housing needs. 5. Facilitate Development on Underutilized Sites Due to the scarcity of vacant land remaining in EI Segundo, the City can play an important role in providing information to prospective developers on sites suitable for residential development. The City will facilitate development on underutilized properties by providing potential housing developers with a list of underutilized Multi - Family Residential (R -3) and Medium Density Residential (MDR) properties. In addition, the city intends to advise homebuyers and developers that they may pursue a variety of public and private funding sources in support of affordable housing development. Five Year Goal: In order to bring the sues and funding together as a package before the development community•. the Cin? will conduct a Developer's Workshop to discuss residential development opportunities, available funding sources and local incentives for affordable housing development. 6. Sites for Transitional Housing/Homeless Shelters The City's Zoning Ordinance does not explicitly allow for homeless facilities in El Segundo. The City will modify its Zoning ordinance to permit transitional housing in appropriate residential zones and emergency housing in commercial and industrial zones, all subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The CUP will set forth conditions aimed at enhancing the compatibility of transitional housing and emergency shelters with the surrounding neighborhood or commercial district, and will not unduly constrain the creation of such facilities. Five Yesr Goal: Amend the Zoning Ordinance to reflect pro-.7sionsfor emergenrvshelters and transitional housing bt• the year 200a Removins Governmental and Other Constraints Like all jurisdictions in California, El Segundo has governmental regulations that affect housing development. These include the charging of permit processing and development fees. adoption of the Uniform Building Code. and the establishing of processing times for tentative tract maps, and conditional use permits or variances. Under present State law, the El Segundo Housing Element must address. and where legally possible, remove governmental constraints affecting the maintenance, improvement, and development of Cin o(El Segundo Hoxs�ng Pb� Housing Element 6-18 U -. 2 housing. The following programs are designed to lessen governmental constraints on housing development. 7. Density BonusMevelopment incentives Ordinance Pursuant to State density bonus law. if a developer allocates at least 30percent of the units in a housing project to lower income households. 10 percent for very low income households. or at least 50 percent for "qualifying residents" (e.g. seniors), the City must either: a) grant a density bonus of 25 percent. along with one additional regulatory concession to ensure that the housing development will be produced at reduced cost. or b) provide other incentives of equivalent financial value based upon the land cost per dwelling unit. The developer shall agree to and the City shall ensure continued affordability of all lower income density bonus units for a minimum 30 -year period. The City will adopt a local density bonus ordinance to comply with State law and to specify regulator• concessions to be offered. The Ordinance will provide density incentives for multi- family projects in the R -3 Zone. A range of potential regulatory concessions will be set forth in the ordinance. such as flexibility in height limits. reduced parking, reduced setbacks. and/or reduced open space requirements. Five fear Goal: Adopt a local denstn- bonus ordinance by 200:, and promote through development of a brochure for ddtribution to the local Board of Realtors and local developers. and through the Cin•'s newsletter and website. The Cin• will also conduct a -Developer's R orkshop " to present information on available residential sites. funding sources. and regulatory incentives under the Development Incentives Ordinance. 8. Expedite Project Review A community's evaluation and review process for housing projects contributes to the cost of housing because holding costs incurred by developers are ultimately reflected in the unit's selling puce. Periodic surveys conducted by the City indicate that local processing times are quite comparable to those experienced to neighboring communities. In addition. the City has fully implemented the provisions of AB884'. as well as one -stop permit coordination.

More generally. this program component entails ways to further fair housing practices. 9. Fair Housing Program Fair Housing is a citywide program that provides assistance to El Segundo residents to settle disputes related to violations of local, State, and Federal housing laws. Also, Fair Housing provides an educational program concerning housing issues for tenants and landlords. El Segundo contracts With the Westside Fair Housing Council, for fair housing outreach and educational information and landlord/tenant dispute resolution. The City will advertise the program and continue to promote fair housing practices, provide educational information on fair housing at the public counter. Complaints will be referred to the appropriate agencies. Additionally, the City contracts with the Dispute Resolution Services (DRS) which provide no and low cost dispute resolution for a variety of issues including housing disputes. Five fear Goal: Continue to offer fair housing services through a local service provider, and distribute program brochures at the public counter and on the Cirs•'s website. /•jn of El Sryrundo Hoaunr Plan Housing Element 6-20 03 Table 27 Housing Program Summary Hour Programs Program Ob eetive Program Action I Funding Source Responsible ARM Time Frame Conserving and Improving Existing ARordabk Housing 1.

INTRODUCTION The City of El Segundo was incorporated in 1917 and is located in the South Bay Region of Los Angeles County, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles. The City occupies an area of approximately 5.46 square miles, and is home to approximately 16,033 residents according to the 2000 Census. The daytime population of the City is approximately 75,000 persons. The City is bordered on the north by the Los Angeles International Airport; on the west by the Pacific Ocean; to the south by the Chevron Refinery; and to the east by the 405 Freeway. These barriers isolate El Segundo's residential and downtown communities from other South Bay communities. Figure 1 depicts El Segundo's regional location and City boundaries respectively. There were a total of 7,217 known dwelling units in the City in 2000. All of the residential population is located west of Sepulveda Boulevard on approximately 532.8 acres of land. The office /industrial /commercial areas east of Sepulveda Boulevard represents Fortune 500 companies and include a range of businesses including aerospace, computer related companies, and travel related companies. Commercial and industrial development east of Sepulveda Boulevard has increased in the past several years, with over one million square feet of office development occurring within the last year. The City has experienced limited residential growth over the past seven years with an increase of 130 units (1.8 percent) since 2000. Nevertheless, the City was able to produce 151 total housing units (193 %) of its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) over the planning period of the currently adopted Housing Element (2000- 2005). The City's stock of 7,347 dwelling units is characterized by a relatively even split between single and multi- family residences, although the 2000 census documents a majority of the City's units (58.1 percent) are renter- occupied. Similar to other communities in the South Bay area, home prices have increased dramatically since adoption of the current Housing Element making both owner occupied and rental housing units less affordable. However, compared with adjoining jurisdictions, El Segundo still provides a range of housing opportunities to the varied income levels of residents in the community. This 2008 -2014 Housing Element of El Segundo's General Plan sets forth the City's strategy to preserve and enhance the community's residential character, expand housing opportunities for all economic segments, and provide guidance and direction for local government decision - making in all matters relating to housing. City ofEl Segundo l Housing Element Update 1 -1 ' �! J October2007 Community Profile 1. INTRODUCTION A. CALIFORNIA STATE HOUSING ELEMENT LAW California State Housing Element Law (California Government Code Article 10.6) establishes the requirements for Housing Elements of the General Plan. Specifically, California Government Code Section 65588 requires that local governments review and revise the Housing Element of their Comprehensive General Plans not less than once every five years. The California State Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and suitable living environment for every Californian as the State's major housing goal. Recognizing the important role of local planning programs in the pursuit of this goal, the Legislature has mandated that all cities and counties prepare a housing element as part of their comprehensive General Plans. Table 1 -1 summarizes these State requirements and identifies the applicable sections in the current El Segundo Housing Element where these requirements are addressed. El Segundo's Housing Element was last updated in 1992 and is currently being updated through the year 2014 as part of an extended update cycle for jurisdictions within the SCAG (Southern California Association of Governments) region. The Element sets forth a strategy to address the City's identified housing needs, including specific implementing programs and activities. The Housing Element is an 8 '/z -year plan, extending from January 2006 to June 2014. The other General Plan elements typically cover a ten- to 20 -year planning horizon. Various amendments have been made to Housing Element law since adoption of the City's current Housing Element. These include changes that allow for local jurisdictions to take "credits" for actual construction activities in the 3 -year gap period (2005 -2008) (SB 12 - discussed below) that are above the growth forecasted for the period, and apply those credits to the housing needs forecasted for the period between 2008 and 2014. Additional changes include required preparation of a more detailed inventory of sites to accommodate projected housing needs (AB 2348); requiring sites to be rezoned within prescribed timeframes to accommodate sites identified for housing in the prior Element (AB 1233); and notifying water and sewer purveyors of Housing Element goals and policies and establishing priority service for units affordable to lower - income households (SB 1087). The contents of this updated Housing Element comply with these amendments and all other requirements of Housing Element law. Regional Housing Needs Assessment Section 65583 of the Government Code sets forth the specific components to be contained in a community's housing element. Included in these requirements is an obligation on the part of local jurisdictions to provide their "fair share" of regional housing needs. Local governments and Councils of Governments (COGs) are required to determine existing and future housing need and the allocation of said need must be approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). El Segundo is a member of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and SCAG is responsible for preparing the Regional Housing Needs Assessment for the six -county territory that it represents. City of El Segundo f IlousingBlement Update 1 -2 October 200.L 1 Community Profile L INTRODUCTION HCD established the planning period for the current Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) from January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2014. The planning period originally ran from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2014, however, it was reduced by six months (eliminating the last 6 months of 2005) by HCD, thus shortening the planning period from 9 years to 8 '/Z years. The Housing Element must be adopted and certified by HCD by June 30, 2008. SCAG's original draft allocation for El Segundo was a total of 219 units. In response, the City prepared a letter of protest requesting a reduction in the total number of units allocated to El Segundo. SCAG granted a reduction in the total number of units of approximately 25% to 168 total units in the final draft allocation. The 168 housing units for El Segundo area out of the anticipated total regional construction need of 732,710 units (13,763 of which are in the South Bay Cities in the SCAG Region from 2005 - 2014). The allocation of 168 units for El Segundo is broken down into the four categories as follows; 44 very low income households, 27 low income households, 28 moderate income households, and 69 above moderate income households. With the approval of SB12, the City has 25 units for the second half of 2005 and 13 units for 2006, totaling 38 units, which can be credited toward the above moderate income requirements for the 2008 -2014 planning period. B. ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT The Housing Element sets forth housing goals and policies for El Segundo to address the City's existing and projected needs. Specific housing programs to implement these goals and policies will be identified in the Housing Program section of the updated document. The updated El Segundo Housing Element will be comprised of the following major components: An assessment of past housing achievements. An analysis of the City's population, household and employment base, and the characteristics of the City's housing stock. An updated evaluation of housing need. 4. Preparation of an inventory of potential housing sites in the community. a. An examination of governmental and non - governmental constraints on the production, maintenance, and affordability of housing. b. Preparation of a Housing Program to address El Segundo's identified housing needs, including housing goals, policies and programs.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Section 65583 (c)(7) of the Government Code states that, "The local government shall make diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the program shall describe this effort." City residents will be given several opportunities to recommend strategies, review, and comment on the El Segundo Housing Element. The City will, for example, conduct public workshops on the Housing Element update (one each at a regularly- scheduled Planning Conu ussion and City Council meeting). Each of these study sessions will be advertised in the local newspaper. Copies of the draft Housing Element will be made available in public locations, including the public library and City Planning Department public counter, the Joselyn Community Center, and sent directly to the local Board of Realtors and the Park Vista Senior Housing Board (represents City's low- income housing project). After the State Department of Housing and Community Development has reviewed the draft Element, additional hearings are planned before both the Planning Commission and City Council. Notification for these hearings will be published in the local newspaper in advance of each hearing and hearings. As a means of specifically soliciting input on the Draft Housing Element from organizations representing lower income and special needs populations, the City will send copies of the draft Element to the following non - profit housing and service providers, along with notification of public hearings on the Element: Access Community Housing (elderly /disabled /homeless), Habitat for Humanity-Los Angeles, Corridor Economic Development Corporation (families), Los Angeles Community Design Center (families /special needs), and Southern California Housing Development Corporation. Planning Commission and City Council will consider all public comments received and will make appropriate revisions to the Draft Housing Element prior to adoption. E.

COMMUNITY PROFILE Assuring the availability of adequate housing for all social and economic sectors of the present and future population is an important goal for El Segundo. To achieve this goal requires an assessment of the housing needs of the community and region. This section discusses the demographic, socio- economic, and housing characteristics of the City of El Segundo in an effort to determine the specific housing needs of the City and its residents. A. POPULATION 1. Population Growth Trends The 1990 U.S. Census reported that the City of El Segundo 's population was 15,223 persons, marking a population increase of nearly 11% percent since the 1980 U.S. Census. This growth rate was noticeably less than the 17% percent for Los Angeles County as a whole. Cities surrounding El Segundo, such as Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, experienced growth patterns similar to El Segundo, with decreases in population in the 1970's and modest increases in the 1980's. The 2000 U.S. Census reported that the population of El Segundo had increased to 16,033 since the 1990 Census; marking an increase of 5% percent in the ten -year span, which is a significant rate drop from the 1980 U.S. Census to the 1990 U.S. Census. As of January 1, 2007, the State Department of Finance estimated that the City's population numbered approximately 17,076, an increase of about 6% percent in the seven years since the 2000 U.S. Census. This rate of growth is just slightly below that for Los Angeles County and that of most of El Segundo's adjacent communities as shown on Table 2 -1. t i X16 City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -1 October 2007 Community Profile 2.

Age Characteristics Age distribution is an important indicator in determining the future demand of certain types of housing. Traditional assumptions indicate that the young adult population (20 to 34 years old) has a trend of choosing apartments, low to moderate cost condominiums, and smaller single - family units. The adult population (35 to 65 years old) is the primary market for moderate to high -end apartments, condominiums, and larger single - family homes. This age group traditionally has higher incomes and larger household sizes. The senior population (65 years and older) generates demand for low to moderate cost apartments and condominiums, group quarters, and mobile homes. Table 3 shows the age distribution of the population of the City of El Segundo in 1990 and 2000, and the proportionate age distribution of all Los Angeles County residents in 2000. 0 4 City of E/ Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -2 October2007 Community Profile 2.

COMMUNITY SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE As shown in Table 2 -2, the 2000 U.S. Census indicated median age in El Segundo of 36.4 years is higher than the County median age of 35.3 years. While the City has seen a drop in the population of young adults (age 25 -34), the City witnessed significant proportional and numeric growth during the 1990s in its mid -adult populations (age 35 -44) and higher -adult populations (age 45 -54). This increase is likely attributed to the previous existing young adult populations continuing to live in the City. The current young adult population has been attracted to the City based on the growth of the local employment base, particularly in the aerospace industry, and in the City's comparatively affordable housing relative to other coastal communities in the South Bay. These characteristics an employment center with comparatively modest housing costs have resulted in stable neighborhoods and a tightening of the housing market in El Segundo. El Segundo is a predominantly renter - occupied community, with approximately 58% percent of all households occupied by renters. Associated with growth in the young and mid -adult populations, this may be an indication of the potential need for increasing first -time homebuyer opportunities in the City. Growth in younger age groups has seen a small increase in population. There was 1.8% percent growth in the City's early school age population (age 0 -9 years), and growth of 1.5% percent increase in population for children ages 10 to 24. Vistamar School, a co- educational 9 -12 independent private school was opened in 2005 with a limited enrollment that has increased since opening; enrollment figures provided by Vistamar School are shown in Table 2 -3.

Seniors El Segundo has a larger proportion of seniors (12.3% percent age 65 and older) than the County (9.7% percent). Between 1990 and 2000, the City experienced only a small proportional increase in seniors, who in 1990 represented 9.7% percent of the total population. This increase, although small, will likely continue to grow, and may indicate a need for expanded housing programs such as senior shared housing, senior housing repair assistance, and assisted supportive housing. City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -5 October 2007 Community Profile 2. COMMUNITY SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE 3. Race and Ethnicity The racial and ethnic composition of a community effects housing needs due to the unique household characteristics of different groups. Table 2 -5 shows the changes in the racial /ethnic composition of El Segundo between 1990 and 2000. There were several dramatic shifts in the years between 1990 and 2000. The most notable of these changes were increases in the Asian /Pacific Islander, Hispanic and Black populations, although these ethnic groups still comprise less than 20% percent of the City's total population. El Segundo's ethnic composition continues to be ptedominately White at 80.0% percent of the population. However, this represents a decrease from 1990 when the White population comprised 84.8% percent of the population total.

A greater proportion of the City of El Segundo residents are White compared to 48.7% percent of the County, while persons from the Hispanic and Black groups comprise a smaller proportion of the City's population than they do County-wide (44.6% percent Hispanic, 11.9% Asian, and 9.8% Black). The distribution of the American Indian population is smaller than the County but the Other Races population of 0.6% is significantly smaller than the countywide population of 23.5% percent. Due to the expanding cultural influences occurring in El Segundo, successful housing policies and programs must be sensitive to the different needs and preferences of other cultural groups. Household size, household composition, income levels and preferences in tenure are among the factors, which must be considered.

Employment The 2000 U.S. Census reports, as shown in Table 2 -6, that there were 9,625 El Segundo residents in the labor force, representing a labor force participation rate of 75.1 percent of persons between the ages of 16 and 64. A majority of the City's residents are employed in managerial and professional specialty occupations (44.5 percent) or in technical, sales, and administrative support capacities (25.6 percent). The unemployment rate reported in the 2000 Census was 3.0% percent, compared to the countywide unemployment rate of 5.0% percent.

A balanced community would have a match between employment and housing opportunities so that most of the residents could also work in the community. Comparing the number of jobs in El Segundo in 2007 (approximately 75,000) to the current 2007 population estimates (17,076) indicates a high job - population ratio of 1:4.3. This is reflective of the large employment base in El Segundo. Large employers include the Chevron Refinery as well as major aerospace corporations such as the Aerospace Corporation, Boeing Source: www.elsegundobusiness.com/stats—demo.html City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -7 October 2007 Community Profile 2. COMMUNITY SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE Corporation and Raytheon. In addition, El Segundo is a community whose daytime population far exceeds the nighttime population due to the large employment base in the City. The SCAG projections indicate that El Segundo will continue to grow, with an estimated increase of almost 29,000 jobs projected from 2000 to 2020. The City's large employment base relative to the small number of housing units, and the projected job increases for the City, indicate that there may be a need to continually seek ways to add housing in the community. Temporary employment levels in the City will increase as a result of major new expansions to industrial -type facilities in El Segundo. For instance, Chevron's planned expansion to its refinery facility will include up to 3,000 contractors employed at the facility in the 4`s quarter of 2007. In 2008, temporary employment levels will average 1,500 contractors in the first 3 quarters and leveling off to 500 contractors in the 4th quarter. In 2009, temporary contractor workers at the refinery will average 3,000 persons. In 2010 and beyond, the average number of temporary contractors will number 500 persons. B. HOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICS Information on household characteristics is an important indicator of housing needs in a community. Income and affordability are best measured at the household level, as are the special needs of certain groups, such as large - family households or female- headed households. If the city has a substantial number of young family households whose incomes preclude the option of buying a home due to local housing costs, El Segundo may wish to initiate a homebuyer assistance program. 1. Household Composition and Size The Bureau of the Census defines a "household" as all persons who occupy a housing unit, which may include single persons living alone, families related through marriage or blood, or unrelated persons sharing living quarters. Persons living in retirement or convalescent homes, dormitories, or other group living situations are not considered households. The characteristics of the households in a city are important indicators of the type of housing needed in that community. Table 2 -7 below describes the household characteristics for El Segundo. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, there were 7,060 households in the City of El Segundo, about 55.3% percent of which were family households. This proportion is less than that of Los Angeles County, where 68.2% percent of all households consisted of families. Single- person households represent the second largest household group in the City, comprising about 34.2% percent of all households. The remaining 10.3% percent of households fall into the unrelated non - family household category, which consist of unrelated persons living together. 053 City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -8 October 2007 Community Profile 2.

A city's average household size can depend on household trends such as a trend towards larger families will increase the city's average household size over time while, average household size will often decline in communities where the population is aging. Between 1990 and 2000, the average persons per household in El Segundo increased slightly from 2.25 to 2.27 persons per household. The Califotnia State Department of Finance estimates the average household size in El Segundo to be approximately 2.38 persons per household as of January 1, 2007. This figure is significantly less than the estimates for the City and County of Los Angeles (2.98 persons per household and 3.13 persons per household in 2007 respectively), and is fairly comparable with the relatively small average household sizes of all of El Segundo's adjacent neighbors. Average household size in nearby cities is shown in Table 2 -8.

COMMUNITY SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE 2. Overcrowding The federal government defines an overcrowded household as one with more than one occupant per room, excluding bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and porches. Overcrowding in households results from either a lack of affordable housing (which forces more than one household to live together) and /or a lack of available housing units of adequate size. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 4.8% percent (333 households) of households in El Segundo were living in overcrowded conditions, compared to 22.9% percent Countywide. Overcrowding among renter - households was more prevalent than among owner - households. Of the total 333 overcrowded households, 286 were renter occupied households. In contrast, of the total overcrowded households, only 47 were owner occupied households. The 2000 U.S. Census indicates that 76% percent of the households in El Segundo have less than .50 persons per room; therefore, overcrowding of households does not appear to be a primary issue for the City. 3. Household Income and Income Distribution Income is a major factor in evaluating the affordability of housing in a community. According to the 2000 Census the median household income in El Segundo was $61,131 per year, which is significantly more than the County median household income of $42,189 per year. In comparison with its neighbors, the median household income in El Segundo was higher than that of Hawthorne and Inglewood; somewhat lower than Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach; and significantly lower than that of Manhattan Beach. The State Department of Housing and Community Development has developed the following income categories based on the Median Family Income (MFI) of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development: • Very Low Income: 50 percent or less of the area MFI; • Low Income: between 51 and 80 percent of the area MFI; • Moderate Income: between 81 and 120 percent of the area MFI; • Upper Income: greater than 120 percent of the area MFI. The 2006 MFI for the Los Angeles County MSA ($49,300) was used to interpolate the City's income distribution from the census according to the above categories. The income distribution of the City of El Segundo based on 2000 U.S. Census data is presented in Table 2 -9. City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -10 October2007 Community Profile 2.

Housing Affordability and Overpayment State and Federal standards specify that a household overpays for its housing costs if it pays 30 percent or more of its gross income on housing. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, there were 7,032 occupied housing units in El Segundo. Of these occupied units, 2,945 (41.8% percent) units were owner- occupied, with 4,087 (58.1% percent) units occupied by renters. Table 2 -10 summarizes housing overpayment statistics by tenure for the City of El Segundo.

City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -11 October 2007 Community Profile 2. COMMUNITY SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE Of these households, 945 (57.5% percent) were renters, representing 22.3% percent of the total renter households in the City. In households with incomes of $50,000 or more, the majority of households overpaying were owner households. While the extent of owner households overpaying for housing is not as great as that for renter households, there still may be a need for assistance to low and very low- income homeowners. In particular, seniors tend to have limited and fixed incomes, as well as physical limitations, which may hinder their abilities to adequately maintain their properties. 5. Special Needs Groups Certain segments of the population may have particular difficulties in finding decent, affordable housing due to their special needs. These special needs groups, as defined by State housing element law, include the elderly, disabled persons, large households, female- headed households, farm workers, and the homeless. In addition, military households are a group with special housing needs in El Segundo. Table 2 -11 summarizes the numbers of households /persons in each of these special needs groups in the City of El Segundo. 05 City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -12 October2007 Community Profile 2.

The Census shows that roughly 7.5% percent of the City's households were headed by elderly persons age 65 and above. Of these approximately 532 households, 173 consisted of elderly persons living alone. Members of this subpopulation of the elderly may have special needs for assistance with finances, household maintenance, and other routine activities. This is particularly true of persons aged 75 and older who are more likely to among the "frail elderly." The 2000 U.S. Census also indicates that there were at least 90 persons age 65 and over living below the poverty level. This indicates that there may be a need for additional affordable senior housing. In 1984, the City developed Park Vista, a 97 -unit senior housing project for seniors capable of independent living. Rents are restricted to levels of affordable to very low - income households, and occupancy is limited to El Segundo residents with incomes, which fall below moderate - income levels. Discussions with management at Park Vista indicate that there is a need for further assisted care facilities in the City as there are extensive waiting lists for such facilities in the City. Disabled Persons Physical and mental disabilities can hinder access to traditionally designed housing units as well as potentially limit the ability to earn adequate income. As shown in Table 2 -12, the 2000 U.S. Census indicates that approximately 7.1% percent of El Segundo's population age 16 years and older, has some form of work or mobility/self -care disability. City ofEl Segundo Housing Elem en t Update 2 -13 October2007 Community Protle 2. COMMUNITY SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE Although no current comparisons of disability with income, household size, or race /ethnicity are available, it is reasonable to assume that a substantial portion of disabled persons would be within federal Section 8 income limits, especially those households not in the labor force. Furthermore, most lower income disabled persons are likely to require housing assistance. Their housing need is further compounded by design and location requirements, which can often be costly. For example, special needs of households with wheelchair -bound or semi - ambulatory individuals may require ramps, holding bars, special bathroom designs, wider doorways, lower cabinets, elevators, and other interior and exterior design features. Housing opportunities for individuals with disabilities can be addressed through the provision of affordable, barrier -free housing. Rehabilitation assistance can be targeted toward disabled renters and homeowners for unit modification to improve accessibility.

In contrast to many communities where large households consist predominately of ethnic minorities and renters, large households in El Segundo are predominately non - minority homeowners, and therefore do not experience the same household overcrowding problems as in many communities. Large Households are defined as those with five or more members. The special needs of this group are based on the limited availability of adequately sized, affordable housing units. Because of housing stock limitations, and the fact that large families often have lower incomes, they are s�5J City of E/ Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -14 October 2007 Community Profile 2. COMMUNITY SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE frequently subjected to overcrowded living conditions. The increased strain which overcrowding places on housing units only serves to accelerate the pace of unit deterioration. The City will expand the services provided to large households with the development of the new Community Center. The Center is envisioned as providing a gymnasium, basketball court, multi- purpose /lecture facilities, dance /aerobic studios, a banquet room, community cable facilities and other community serving facilities. With one third of the City's housing stock comprised of three or more bedroom - units, the City has more than an adequate supply of housing units to accommodate the needs of its large family households. Female- Headed Households Single- parent households often require special consideration and assistance due to their greater need for affordable and accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services. In particular, female- headed households with children tend to have lower - incomes than other types of households, a situation that limits their housing options and access to supportive services. The 2000 Census indicates that there are 708 female- headed households in the City of El Segundo, 393 of which have children under the age of 18. These numbers account for approximately 10% and 5.5% respectively of all households in the city. Farmworkers Farmworkers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through seasonal agricultural work. Farmworkers have special housing needs because they earn lower incomes than many other workers and move throughout the season from one harvest to the next. The 2000 U.S. Census reported that less than one percent (13 persons) of the City of El Segundo's residents were employed in farming, forestry, and fishing occupations. Due to El Segundo's urban setting and nominal farmworker population, the special housing needs of this group can generally be addressed through overall programs for housing affordability. Military Personnel According to the 2000 Census, there were 27 persons in the labor force employed in military occupations. The U.S. Air Force base in El Segundo currently employs approximately 1,500 persons of whom the majority are military personnel. Housing for base personnel is provided at Fort MacArthur, Pacific Heights and Pacific Crest in San Pedro for all military ranks and their families. There are currently 574 units, including two -, three- and four - bedroom units. Another 71 units are currently under construction at Fort MacArthur. In addition, there are 52 single occupancy units available in three dormitories. Air Force personnel unable to be housed in military housing contribute to the demand for affordable housing in the community. r""1�r` U ;j jjV City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 2 -15 October 2007 Community Profile 2. COMMUNITY SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE Homeless Persons According to the 2005 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count (published on January 12, 2006) and sponsored by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the overall homeless population of the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC) Region at a given point in time is estimated to be 82,291 people. Approximately 72,413 are unsheltered, and 9,878 people are living in either emergency shelters or transitional housing programs at the time of the 2000 Census. A specific "point -in- time" count of the homeless (2005) indicated that there were 82,291 homeless persons in the greater Los Angeles region. This same study analyzed homelessness by separate regions in Los Angeles County and determined that the number of homeless person in the South Bay /Harbor area (which excludes Long Beach) numbered 7,369 person on any one night (point -in -time) but that the number people per year that are homeless number 23,654 individuals in this region. According to the survey, most of these individuals are male, are living outside of shelters, and have substance abuse problems. Homelessness in El Segundo does not appear to be as critical as statistics indicate for the South Bay /Harbor region. The El Segundo Police Department was contacted and they indicated that the City has a small number of homeless relative to its total population, with an estimated average of seven to ten homeless individuals on any given night. These individuals are fairly constant, and are characterized as single men with drug or alcohol dependencies, and /or mental illnesses. The 2000 Census reported that in El Segundo there were no persons visible in street locations or emergency shelters for the homeless. There are no emergency shelters or transitional housing facilities in the City of El Segundo. The closest shelters are located five miles away in Redondo Beach or in nearby Lawndale. However, the Salvation Army continues to provide the Police Department with nominal funding on an ad hoc basis to assist homeless persons that come through El Segundo. These funds are used to provide fast food coupons, and bus fare, which would allow transportation to overnight facilities. Since they are located outside of El Segundo, any resident homeless population would seek emergency or transitional shelter in an outside jurisdiction such as Redondo Beach, Lawndale, Long Beach, Carson or San Pedro.

HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS 3. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS A housing unit is defined as a house, apartment, or single room, occupied as separate living quarters, or if vacant, intended for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other person in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. A community's housing stock is the compilation of all its housing units. 1. Housing Growth As of January 2007, the State Department of Finance documents that there are 7,457 dwelling units in El Segundo, an increase of only 130 units (1.8 percent) since 2000. This growth rate is almost one -half the housing growth rate for the County of Los Angeles. A comparison of housing growth trends for El Segundo and neighboring cities is provided in Table 3 -1. El Segundo's population is estimated to have grown by 1,043 persons (6.5 percent) during this same time period. There has been an increase in the average household size from 2.27 in 2000 and an estimated 2.38 in 2007.

As shown, while single - family detached homes remain the predominant housing type, the majority of growth occurring in the City has been comprised of condominium and apartment complexes with five or more units. Due to the scarcity of vacant residential land in the City, most of the housing unit growth has been accommodated through recycling of existing lower density residential, and particularly of smaller multi- family projects with 2 -4 units. As indicated previously, in 2000, the proportion of owner - occupied households in El Segundo (41.9 percent) is significantly lower than that of renter - occupied households (58.1 percent).

Age and Condition of Housing Stock 3. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS Table 3 -3 shows the age of the housing stock in El Segundo. In general, housing over 30 years old is usually in need of some major rehabilitation, such as a new roof, foundation work, plumbing, etc. As indicated in Table 3 -3, the majority (about 68 percent) of El Segundo's housing units were constructed prior to 1970. This represents a significant proportion of the City's housing stock, and indicates that preventative maintenance will be essential to ward off widespread housing deterioration. Some households, such as seniors who have owned their homes for many years and have relatively low house payments, may just be able to afford their monthly housing costs. For such households, the cost of major repairs or renovation may be impossible. Assistance however, may be available through the city's housing rehabilitation assistance programs, including the Minor Home Repair Program and the Residential Sound Insulation Programs. These existing programs can help preserve the City's existing affordable housing stock.

A summary of these rental rate ranges is shown below in Table 3 -10, as compiled from a recent review of the three sources listed above. There are limited apartment and condominium /townhouses opportunities in El Segundo and they are more plentiful in Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach. In El Segundo, the available monthly rental rate range was much narrower for apartments ranging from $1,750 to $2,500 than that for Hermosa and Manhattan Beach, which together ranged from $1,000 to $4,000. For condominium and townhouses, El Segundo again had a much narrower monthly rental rate range from $1,800 to $3,500 while Hermosa Beach ranged from $1,650 and $7,900, with Manhattan Beach ranging from $1,990 to $14,000. Only one single - family listing was found available for rent from the entire survey of three listing for El Segundo with $1,995. However, Hermosa Beach rental rates were from $2,400 to $20,000 per month and Manhattan Beach rental rates were from $2,000 to $18,900. Condominium /townhouses and single - family housing units' monthly rental rates vary greatly in Hermosa and Manhattan Beach when compared to El Segundo. This is perhaps due to the variation in unit size, structure age, yard size, quality of construction and beach /view locations within Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach. These physical attributes vary greatly between properties in these communities. ru 70 City of El Segundo Housing Element Update 3 -8 October2007 Community Profile 3.

Page 3 0 1 i EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 20, 2007 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Committees, Commissions and Boards AGENDA L)EbGRIPTIUN: Consideration and possible action regarding a recommendation by the City Council ad hoc subcommittee formed to consider the utilization of the current Department of Water and Power (DWP) right -of -way (located west of Hillcrest Avenue, between Imperial Highway and Grand Avenue) to discontinue its efforts to study the potential of opening the area for public use. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Receive and file a recommendation by the City Council ad hoc DWP right -of -way subcommittee to discontinue efforts to study the potential of opening the area for public use; 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: In response to residential inquiries regarding the potential of opening the DWP right -of -way (west of Hillcrest Avenue) for public use, the City Council formed an ad hoc subcommittee to discuss that issue and examine the viability of opening the area for recreational use. The subcommittee was comprised of Mayor Pro Tern Busch, Councilmember Jacobson, Mr. Peter Lewis, Mr. Dick Croxall and the City Manager. The subcommittee met on four separate occasions including a public meeting to determine the viability of negotiating an easement with the Los Angeles DWP and opening the area for general use. The process received significant public attention, wherein 55 persons attended the public meeting, 45 offered testimony and 89 more expressed their opinions via e-mail following the public meeting. In summary, more persons expressed opposition to the opening of the right -of -way than those supporting the concept. (Please see attached page marked "Background and Discussion ") ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None FISCAL IMPACT: NIA Operating Budget: Amount Requested: Account Number: Project Phase: Appropriation Required: _Yes _ No 2 Background and Discussion (con't): The subcommittee discussed security, cost, liability, parking, privacy and other items brought to its attention by the public. Finally, the subcommittee focused its efforts on providing for a limited time "trial run," during which time the concerns stated above and other issues that would arise could be viewed from the prism of practical experience. In analyzing that alternative, the subcommittee determined that it would be difficult, if not impossible to obtain a limited term "right of way" licensing agreement with DWP to open the area to public use, that it would be difficult to mitigate the parking issues associated with opening that area and that it would be prohibitively expensive to make the necessary repairs and improvements to make the area minimally acceptable for public recreational use. Specifically, staff calculated that to open the right -of -way for a limited term would necessitate an expenditure of approximately $450,000 for rudimentary safety and security mitigations and improvements, $300,000 to 350,000 for a video surveillance system and an unspecified expense for additional police patrols. The unanimous decision of the subcommittee was that the project was too expensive to pursue at this time. Therefore, the subcommittee recommends that the City Council receive and file its recommendation to discontinue discussions and efforts to open to the public the DWP right -of -way west of Hillcrest Avenue. 07J ca k!zMan itObb3 3"mucS b31ndM07 013110 S)r03Ho OIOA *31V0 H33H3103Ma00NI ox an0 S3403HO (DOA VIM 1Na" NORM 01 3n S)173N0 OIOA E61L IBM -01 IVAObddV -10 31V0 s4aatpIUaveg aaAoldLv3 pue11a+Aed = V :uog29pleb JOj suopeAdO A90 )c poddns w sa0uuas pue sagddne - steualew Jo) sl"ulAed A3uatim/Aoua6Awa -uou lie w) 543240 pale.aua6 ia;ndwo0 = a 53000 'asea)aJ o) uollezpo4)ne puno0 Alto Jol p194 spatp Jeln6ab lenaddV J03 'paJa4l luatuAed Jo) pun) )o AI1j!ge1!ene 041 We spuewa0 24110 A3eJn33e a4) al se Aglrao I opunOn t3 W A113 atp u1 a3WD SaOwaS 8nlle44ry!wpV 10 JOPlna a41 u101gelreAe s1 salni!puadxa Ien10e vo uogeuvo)u1 S3I3pNV SOI j0 A I.Nn00 VINbOjIlvo JO 31Vis SINVHHVM WWI I �QI��I Ji ' 3;1VO .31V0 WIN A113 �7 (�12101032f10 30NIfN13 w6aus" Alto a41 Aq paAOrdde eluaw)snipe Lc)pue sluawasrngsp aseapll Ape3 ualtuMpusH = H 'S2AOldde Ja6euen Apo a41 1e41 sasue ualenps a ua4At Jo pappAe aq ue0 ZOL )91VUed )uawAed ale) Jo p2ulrygo aq ua0 sluno3stp IuOwAed ldujwd a/a4M saouelsul 'sluawsai6e 30NVbnSNI'dW3 O3HLL3H ler4J4Jluo3 luaun0 4" )ua)srsuoz sagwas aaAoptua 13enuoo 'spun)aJ snopeA •sluawaLngwlaJ 6Z'ZL aeuaoxa laver) aaAoldwa pue t)sed Aped 'Seowas Al!Illn Jo) sluauuLed :se 40nS ra6eueW £o9 /110 a41 Aq paAOJdde s)uawlsnlpe JOJpue s)uawesrngs.,p asealab Ape3 pelelaua6 Jalndwo0 = j B s4aatpIUaveg aaAoldLv3 pue11a+Aed = V :uog29pleb JOj suopeAdO A90 )c poddns w sa0uuas pue sagddne - steualew Jo) sl"ulAed A3uatim/Aoua6Awa -uou lie w) 543240 pale.aua6 ia;ndwo0 = a 53000 'asea)aJ o) uollezpo4)ne puno0 Alto Jol p194 spatp Jeln6ab lenaddV J03 'paJa4l luatuAed Jo) pun) )o AI1j!ge1!ene 041 We spuewa0 24110 A3eJn33e a4) al se Aglrao I opunOn t3 W A113 atp u1 a3WD SaOwaS 8nlle44ry!wpV 10 JOPlna a41 u101gelreAe s1 salni!puadxa Ien10e vo uogeuvo)u1 S3I3pNV SOI j0 A I.Nn00 VINbOjIlvo JO 31Vis ONnj A0 SIV101 S1NVbbVM OONn93S 13 j0 Al10 9£9Z99Z - 9LSZ99Z Ga SINVHHVM WWI ' 1Snb1 S901AII36 301S1110 901 L9'VL6'V b31110- aNnj isnH13l9VaN3dx3 £01 09'£9V'L£ S33d 83dO13A30 -ONn3 1Snb1319VON3dx3 ZOL 90 £7-Z'£ 30NVbnSNI'dW3 O3HLL3H LOL 6Z'ZL 30NVbnSNV3Ab3S3b'dWO3 Sb3)1bOM £o9 04'69 30NVHnSNI A1IltaVll ZD9 <►'V6£'9Z 1N3W30V1d3H 1N3WdIn03 LOO - oNru 3Sbno7 3109 Cog L L'EV6'S aNnj N31VM31SVM US 9Z LLo'9 ONn3 Altllln b31VM Log - 30NVN31NIVh1 S3W110V3 zoV 6Z t"'£ ONnj LN3W30V1d3b 3Hn1JnHlSVbjNI ZO£ 09 CL L'E99 aNn31N3W3AOSW*I IVLIdVO LO£ - CO$ 13WISIa 1N3WSS3SSV ZOZ • ONnd V'MYl ZZL - ONn3 S'd 0*0 OZL M31 LZL • 1NVb9 VIA 6LL - (]Nn] AVAA3Nt9 LZ9 9S - £ 3101111V VOl 9l L - ONnj NOLLVOIIW NOIb3dAH Llt 69'91 L'V99 aNn3 NOLLVIIVISNI ONnOs 3WOH 91 L - WVb9011d 1N31P1S3AM A11IVn0 HIV Stt B9'S4Z'Z£L NOLLV1bOdSNVb1.0. dOHd 9L. 9L "9LE'6 NOUV1HOdSNV111 W. dObd Ztt OS 600'0 1NV)J9'AO018'13A30 WW03 LIL 60'09L'L ONnj 311n113j803 13SSV got LO'LEV ONnd S3UW10V N011V31103b o31V10oSSV 901 00 "000'5£ ONn3 XV1 SV9 31V1s oat - ONnd A13AVS OU"111 COL 91 of E'V9L aNrU WW3N39 too ONnj A0 SIV101 S1NVbbVM OONn93S 13 j0 Al10 9£9Z99Z - 9LSZ99Z Ga CITY OF EL SEGUNDO PAYMENTS BY WIRE TRANSFER 10/26/2007 THROUGH 11/08/2007 Date Payee Amount Description 10/30/2007 Siemens Financial Services 44,837.50 Orly Energy 11/1/2007 Health Comp 2,916.85 Weekly claims 10/30 11/1/2007 Employment Development 46,664.74 State Taxes 11/1/2007 IRS 216,398.02 Federal Taxes 11/2/2007 Federal Reserve 150.00 Employee I Bonds 1112/2007 State of CA 1,522.16 Child support withholdings 11/2/2007 Pitney Bowes Reserve Acct 10,000.00 City Hall Postage 1115/2007 Unum Provident 410.70 LTD insurance 11/5/2007 Cal Pers 363,841.25 Health 11/5/2007 Nationwide Retirement 31,830.62 457 contributions 111712007 Cal Pers 268,369.69 Retirement 11/7/2007 Lane Donovan Golf 22,215.71 Lakes Payroll 11/8/2007 Health Comp 2,315.83 Weekly claims 1112 10126- 11/8/07 Workers Comp Activity 4,026.72 SCRMA checks issued DATE OF RATIFICATION: 11120107 TOTAL PAYMENTS BY WIRE: Certified as to the accuracy of the wire transfers by: Deputj Treas r Director City )MA6Nger 1,015,499.79 /r Date 113j- Date 1r j Da 1,015,499.79 n on actual expenditures is available in the City Treasurer's Office of the City of El Segundo. 081 REGULAR MEETING OF THE EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2007 - 5:00 P.M. 5:00 P.M.

ADJOURNMENT at 7:45 p.m. Cindy Mortesen, City Clerk MINUTES OF THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 7, 2007 PAGE NO. 8 v8� EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 20, 2007 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to authorize the Fire Department to purchase emergency food and water supplies designed to sustain City employees and persons from other agencies working at or in support of a disaster from More Prepared, LLC. Fiscal Impact: $17,691 RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Recommend that the City Council authorize the Fire Department to purchase emergency food and water from More Prepared, LLC; 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: The City Council has directed staff to ensure that there are emergency supplies available within the City to sustain City employees working at or in support of a disaster. Staff has estimated that two- thirds of the City work force may report for duty in the event of a disaster. This equates to approximately 200 people. Disaster preparedness agencies typically recommend maintaining emergency supplies for up to seven days. In order to provide each of the estimated 200 employees with 3 meals per day and one half gallon of drinking water per day for seven days, the City has purchased and stored 4,200 meals and 700 gallons of water. The meals consist of a combination of "Meals Ready to Eat" (MRE's) and food bars due to their relative low cost; storage life; and storability. The water is in the form of one liter boxes based on cost efficiency and storability. Staff plans to purchase the same quantity of emergency supplies this year to support the need to provide food and water for persons from other agencies responding to assist El Segundo in the event of a disaster. These supplies will be stored and separated by date to ensure that the oldest meals and water are used first.

Smi , F e Chief October 31, 200 REVIEWED DATE: Jeff , City Manager ,, J BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION continued: Staff recommends the purchase of these supplies from a vendor located within the City of El Segundo, More Prepared, LLC in order to facilitate quick delivery of emergency supplies and to establish a business relationship that will ensure quick access to additional emergency supplies when needed. Staff has contacted two vendors in addition to More Prepared, LLC to obtain quotes for these emergency supplies. More Prepared, LLC offers the meals at a lower price than the two other vendors contacted. Staff believes that the prices quoted by More Prepared, LLC are fair and would be comparable with other vendors as well. Additionally, staff sees an established business relationship with a local vendor as being a benefit to the City's overall emergency preparedness. Quotes More Prepared, LLC: $17,691.00 National Survival Supply: $19,026.60 S.O.S. Survival Products $17,829.00 The life span for these emergency food and water supplies is estimated at 5 years. The supplies are being stored in the Paragon building at the water plant. These supplies will be stored and separated by date to ensure that the oldest meals and water are used first. The City may wish to consider donating unused food and water supplies to disaster relief agencies in the last year of the 5 year life cycle to avoid the product going to waste. 09 S 0 E N W c o N C � 7 M d r W O 0 N f0 N E O O O N 0 0 °O C) co M O N CD Lo O Ln V), to N r O to N m N J A M O O N (O t- C14 N W O .c O f0 U O O qqr N i (0 m O O LL m 3 Q 0 0 0 eo w LO qgr N O O O D O C 7 U C H i m O 10 IQ2 m �a �o w (p c CO � o CO Ao E CO W o � c0 ,t O "= O L h O h t O O 'i a O = O CO CO co a O co cu t Ci N w E Q O a c c �D m a ca L CL rte.. z O 09? ul N O rn U T U N N C N N m a -D -0N 2 N E y c N d L cq O 22 C 0 Q) V% O cn W M 09?

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 20, 2007 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Mayor McDowell AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to authorize staff to work with the South Bay Energy Savings Center on a demonstration project to install decorative LED holiday lights on the City Water Tower (400 Lomita Street). (Fiscal Impact: None) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Authorize staff to work with the South Bay Energy Savings Center for the purpose of installing a demonstration LED holiday light display at the City water tower; 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND $ DISCUSSION: Marilyn Lyon from the South Bay Energy Savings Center and i talked last week about participating in the Center's holiday light exchange program. During our discussion, the idea of "demonstrating" the new, energy- efficient and long life lights by installing strings of donated LED Christmas lights on the water tower for the holidays seemed to be an interesting method of promoting the program. In addition, the installation of lights would allow the City to resurrect an older tradition of illuminating the water tower during the holiday season. It is my understanding that this was a popular tradition a generation ago that has fallen by the wayside. Accordingly, I am requesting the Council's consent to move forward with this program and to allow staff to explore the idea of LED illumination on the water tower during the holiday season.
