STAFF REPORT: November 20, 2007 PAGE 2
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
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.

6. 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.

and a variety of densities in accordance with the land use designations and policies in

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.

B. 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. The City will make information on "Fair Horsing Law and
Practices" available to all tenants. property owners. and other persons involved in the
sale and rental of housing throughout E1 Segundo on an ongoing basis.
Progress to Date: The City continues to make information available on an ongoing
basis.
Program H 1 -1 B. The City will implement a program of referrals to the appropriate
agencies for complaints on fair housing issues These coinplaints will be monitored by
the referral agency (Planning Division) as to the status of the complaint and will direct
any action. if required. to the appropriate local. state. or federal agencie's for further
actions.
Progress ro Date: The City has made information available as requests are received
through a referral program that utilizes the services provided by the Westside Fair
Housing Council. This prolaram is funded through the City's General Fund.
l in ?.r £l.Se.runat. Housing Plan
Homing Element 6-3
Program 131 -1 C (Low Income Referrals): The Citywill assure that information on
the availability of assisted, or below- market housing is made available to all lower
income and special needs groups.
Progress to Date: The City continues to refer requests for information on availability
to the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission or the Los Angeles
Housing Author4. The City refers low- income seniors to the Park Vista senior
housing -development located in El Segundo.
GOAL H2: GROUPS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Provide sufficient new. affordable housing opportunities in the City to meet the needs
of groups with special requirements, including the needs of current military lower and
moderate income households.

market rents for military personnel employed at the Air Force Base in El Segundo.
Program H2 -1 A. The City shall provide a maximum of $50.000 per year for a
minimum of two (2) years to a Joint Powers Authority to subsidize militarypersortnel
rents until new military housing can be provided
Progress to Date: This program is no longer active, and is not considered necessary
given the expansion of milita y housing at Fort MacArthur. Approximately 1.500
employees work at the U.S. Air Force base in the City ofEl Segundo. Currently. them
are 574 units provided at Fon MacArthur in San Pedro for all ranks of air force
military personnel and their families. These units include 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. There are
also leased units available for enlisted personnel located throughout Los Angeles
County. All military personnel are required to check with the Housing Referral office
at Fort MacArthur before searching for off -base housing.
Objective H2 -2 (Senior/Elderly): Provide regulations to facilitate additional senior
housing.
Program H2-2.k Establish Senior Citizens' housing regulations that conform to the
provisions of Government Code Section 65913.4 and 65915 (density bonus).
Establish standards for location, parking. safety, recreation facilities. medical can, and
other aspects of senior - onentated housing Consider requiring all senior citizen
p %sects to be approved under Conditional Use Permit. Establish appropriate
monitoring and reporting procedures to assure compliance with approved project
conditions.
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. Lending institutions which are deficient in meeting CRA
lending responsibilities in areas such as multi - family construction and lending for
affordable housing will be identified. The City will explore means to encourage
greater lending activities in El Segundo.
Progress to Date. The City itself has not monitored and evaluated compliance with the
Community Reinvestment Act. However, under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
(HMDA). lending institutions arc required to disclose information on the disposition
of loan applications and the income, gender. and race of loan applicants.
Objective H24 (Housing Etement/Anoual Report): Ensure that the Housing Element
retains its viability and usefulness through annual amendments, review, and monitoring.
Program H24A. To retain the Housing Element as a viable policy document, the
Planning Division will undertake an annual review of the Housing Element and
schedule an amendment. if required. Staff will also develop a monitoring program and
report to the City Council -annually on the progress and effectiveness of the housing
programs. This monitoring program will be in conjunction with new State of
California requirements regarding annual reports.
Progress to Date. 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

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. This home will serve as a model to citizens to
illustrate the appearance and effectiveness of the sound attenuation devices. This
program is primarily funded by the Federal Aviation Administration - FAA Part ISO
Grant. Los Angeles Board of Airports.
Progress to Date. The City purchased and renovated a home which has served as a
model for the sound attenuation process.
Program H3 -2B. The City shall request funding from the FAA to renovate 707
existing homes with modem sound attenuation devices to reduce interior dBA ranges
to acceptable levels.
Progress to Date: Through grants prowled by the FAA's Residential Sound Insulation
program, the City has renovated 122 homes to date with sound attenuation devices.
The. FAA supports 90 percent of the cost to insulate the residence, with the remaining
'_U percent provided by the homeowner. For income - eligible homeowners, CDBG
funds can be provided through the Residential Sound Insulation Progrunr'to pay the
owner's 20 percent share of the cost.
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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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. 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.
Five Year Goal: Continue to provide prompt project review to minim=r project holding

Promoting Equal Housing Opportunities
In order to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of-the
community, the housing program must include actions that promote housing opportunities
for all persons regardless of race, religion. sex, family size, marital status, ancestry. national
origin. color, age, or physical disability. 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.

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.

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.

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.

L INTRODUCTION
D. 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. SOURCES OF INFORMATION
The Housing Element needs assessment is based primarily on the sources listed below.

2. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

El Segundo's ethnic make -up does not reflect the racial diversification that is occurring elsewhere in
Los Angeles County. 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. (+ 5 1

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. The City's unemployment has continued to be
below the County, with the 2006 annual average documented at 3.0% percent compared to 6.5%
percent in the County.

In 1998, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) prepared growth projections
for each jurisdiction in the region for population, households, and employment through the year
2020. The employment projections for the City of El Segundo were as follows:

A general measure of the balance of a community's employment opportunities with the needs of its
residents is through a "jobs- housing balance" test. 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

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.

Household size is an important indicator of a source of population growth. 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.

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.

4. 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.

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 1,641 of El Segundo households (23.2% percent of the City's
total households) were spending 30% percent or more of their household income on housing costs.
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.

'Percent of population 16 years and over.
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.

Large Households
According to the 2000 U.S. Census, only 6.45% percent of all households in the City of El Segundo
consisted of large family households. 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

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.

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. Table 2 -13 lists some of the key service providers for homeless persons in the South
Bay region and which are capable of servicing the needs of homeless persons in El Segundo.

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.

Table 3 -2 provides the breakdown of the City's housing stock in 2000 and 2007 by unit type. 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).

3. 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.

The Building and Safety Department of El Segundo maintains statistic pertaining to the condition of
the City's housing stock. According to the Building and Safety Department, there are relatively few
substandard dwellings in the City. Most building violations are related to property maintenance
issues and to the illegal conversion of garages and accessory structures to dwellings and single- family
to multi- family unit conversions. These violations are added to the list of active Code Compliance

and 3 -6. The median price of a single - family detached home sold in El Segundo in the Summer of
2007 was $997,000. Condominiums and townhouses sold at a median price of $558,000 during that
same period. These median prices are two and three times the overall median home value listed in
the 2000 U.S Census for the City.

A review of the Dailey Breeze, a local community newspaper, Craig's List Los Angeles, a regional
internet rental classified list, and South Bay Rentals, a rental real estate services; indicates that rental
rates in El Segundo are fairly comparable to those in immediate coastal neighboring cities. 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.

Housing Costs and Affordability
The costs of home ownership and rent can be compared to a household's ability to pay for housing,
using the 2006 HUD - established Area Median Family Income (MFI) limits for Los Angeles County
of $49,300. Table 3 -11 illustrates maximum affordable mortgage payments and rents for a four -
person household in Los Angeles County. Affordable housing cost is based on a maximum of 30
percent of gross household income going towards mortgage or rental costs. These maximum
affordable costs would be adjusted downward for smaller households.
Comparison of these maximum affordable housing costs with the sales price data shown previously,
indicates that not even moderate income households (81 to 120 percent MFI) would be able to
afford the lowest priced single- family homes sold in El Segundo. It should be noted however that
asking prices can often be higher than actual sales prices. With earning power to purchase a home
valued up to $294,000, not even 1 and 2 bedroom condominiums and townhouses are within the
range of affordability of moderate income households. At a maximum affordable purchase price of
about $122,000, it is not likely that very -low income households (51% to 80% MFI) could afford
even a small condominium unit. The high price of single - family housing, along with the shortage of
1- bedroom condominiums, indicate that the opportunities for home ownership in the City are

limited for lower and moderate income groups. In addition, the down
payment and closing costs may still represent a significant obstacle to
home purchase.
In terms of rental housing costs (Table 3 -10), low- income households
can afford some 1 -2 bedroom apartments in El Segundo. Very low -
income households (0 -50% MFI) cannot even afford a one - bedroom
apartment in El Segundo. Moderate - income households (81% -120%

exception of three bedroom condominiums or single- family homes.

5. Assisted Housing At -Risk of Conversion
State law requires the Housing Element to identify, analyze and propose programs to preserve
housing units that are currently restricted to low- income housing use and will become unrestricted
and possibly lost as low income housing. Based on review of Federal and State subsidized housing
inventories, and confirmed by interviews with City staff, there are no "Assisted Housing Projects" in
El Segundo as defined by State and Government Code Section 65583 (A) (8).

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.

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.

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.

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.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of
Agreement between Radio Communications Association (RCA) and the City of El Segundo in
accordance with the terms of an existing Communications Products Agreement (CPA)
regarding radio frequencies licensed to the City. (Fiscal Impact — None)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
(1) Authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Agreement, approved as to form
by the City Attorney, between the City of El Segundo and Radio Communications Association
(RCA) to formalize the terms of an existing Communications Products Agreement; (2)
Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On December 16, 2003, the City Council approved a Communications Products Agreement
( "CPA ") with Motorola, Inc. for purchasing two radio frequencies (471/474.3375 and
472/475.5375 MHz). These frequencies have multiple transmitter sites which provide coverage
throughout most of Los Angeles County and a portion of Riverside County.
Among other things, the CPA included a commitment to enter into a Construction and
Revenue Sharing Agreement ( "Agreement ") with Radio Communications Association ( "RCA ").
This revenue sharing agreement provides RCA authority to locate potential buyers for
remarketing of the radio frequencies at sites not contiguous to El Segundo. The CPA was
finalized and signed by the City Manager on April 21, 2004.

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.
