Background and Discussion (con't):
City Adworks was retained to provide creative services for developing a downtown logo,
tagline, and banner and signage designs. At the July 17, 2007 City Council meeting, the
Committee presented its gateway signage program recommendations. The Council approved
the Committee's gateway signage locations (Grand /Sepulveda, GrandNista Del Mar, and
Imperial /Main) and requested the Committee incorporate several thematic elements into the
signage design that would more closely conform with previously Council- approved Identity
Style Guidelines and signage height restrictions. City Adworks revised their gateway signage
designs to incorporate the requested changes and presented the updated designs to the
Committee for its consideration and recommendation to the City Council on October 3rd.
If the City Council is in agreement with the revised signage concepts presented in the two
attachments, the Committee recommends that City Adworks be directed to develop detailed
plans and specifications for the revised signage designs. There are sufficient funds within City
Adworks' contract for expenses associated with the preparation of plans and specifications.
In light of the previous offer from the owner of the development on the northwest corner of
Grand Ave. and Sepulveda Blvd. to install a gateway sign on his property, the Committee
recommends this key downtown gateway intersection be the initial focus of attention.
Depending upon the level of property -owner participation, it's realistic to assume that a
monument and a pylon sign can be installed on north -side corners of Grand Ave. at Sepulveda
Blvd. within the $75,000 originally set -aside for signage and banners. That would leave an
unencumbered balance of roughly $60,000 from the original $250,000 for any additional
downtown signage, banners and other promotional projects, which the Committee and City
Council might consider in the future.
In summary, the Committee recommends the City Council take action to: 1) Approve City
Adworks' updated gateway signage design; 2) Authorize City Adworks to develop gateway
signage plans and specifications; 3) Direct City Manager to develop a gateway signage
implementation plan and schedule for approved gateway signage locations; 4) Authorize City
Manager to negotiate agreements and accept developer- financed gateway signage
improvements at approved locations.

employee knew or should have known of the incident giving rise to
the grievance.

departmental or agency rules or regulations allegedly

Article 1.14 Layoff Procedure
Grounds for Layoff - Whenever, in the judgment of the City Council, it
becomes necessary to reduce the workforce because of a lack of funds,
lack of work or reorganization, an employee may be laid off, reduced in
classification or displaced by another employee. Such layoff, reduction or
displacement shall result from action of the City Manager or his designee.
Such action shall not entitle the laid off, reduced or displaced employee to
a right of appeal. The City Manager shall recommend to the City Council
each classification to be affected by any such change.
2. Notice to Employees - The City shall notify the Association thirty (30) days
prior to the implementation of layoffs, to provide for adequate time to meet
and confer regarding the impact. An employee filling a full time position
shall be given fourteen (14) calendar days prior notice of lay off.
Employees transferred, reduced or displaced shall be given five (5)
calendar days notice. The City Council may approve a reduction in the
notice requirements, if so recommended by the City Manager.
3. At -Will Employees - The City Manager retains the right to layoff or alter the
work assignment of the following employees at any time without notice or
right of appeal: emergency employees, temporary or seasonal
employees, part-time employees, original probationary employees,
promotional probationary employees and employees designated as at -will.
The promotional probationary employee shall revert to his /her previously
held classification and position without loss of seniority.
4. Procedures for Layoff - A permanent employee in a classification affected
by a reduction in force shall be laid off based on seniority in City service,
that is the employee with the least City service shall be laid off first,
followed by the employee with the second least City service, etc. Seniority
shall be determined by hire date.
5. Breaking Ties - In cases where two or more employees have the same
date of hire (i.e. equal seniority), retention points for job performance shall
be credited on the basis of the average of the overall evaluation ratings for
the last three (3) years in a classification, provided the last rating had been
filed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the layoff notice.
Retention points are as follows:
"Unsatisfactory" Rating -
0 points
"Improvement needed" Rating -
6 points
"Satisfactory" Rating -
12 points
"Exceeds expectations" Rating -
18 points
"Outstanding" Rating -
24 points
In the event of a tie in seniority, the employee with the lowest average of
retention points shall be laid off first. In the event that one or more of the

We
affected employees do not have a sufficient number of performance
evaluations on file, ties shall be broken by a coin toss.
6. Reduction to a Vacant Position - An employee designated for layoff as a
result of abolition of a position or classification may be offered
appointment to a vacant position in a lower classification, if the employee
is qualified by education and /or experience for such position. If there is
more than one qualified employee to be offered such appointment(s), the
offer(s) shall be based on seniority, with the employee with the highest
seniority offered the position first, then the next highest, etc. If the
employees have the same seniority, then the procedure for breaking ties
set forth above shall apply. An employee accepting such appointment
shall be placed on the step for the lower classification most closely
corresponding, but in no case higher, than the salary step of his /her
previously held position, and the employee will be assigned a new salary
anniversary date on the effective date of the appointment.
7. Displacement Rights - An employee designated for layoff as a result of
abolition of a position or classification may displace ( "bump ") an employee
in a lower classification in which the employee has prior service, provided
the laid off has greater seniority than the employee in the lower
classification. In addition, an employee designated for layoff with greater
seniority may displace ( "bump ") an employee in a lower classification
within the same occupational family. Determination of an occupational
family will be made by the Director of Human Resources and such
determinations shall be made according to the following factors:
A. Similarity of occupational field.
B. Similarity of "Class Characteristics" and "Examples of Duties" as
described in the class specifications.
C. Similarity of "Education and /or Experience," "Knowledge, Skills and
Abilities," and "Special Requirement" as described in the class
specifications.
D. Any additional factors deemed relevant by the Director of Human
Resources.
An employee who is bumped shall be laid off in the same manner as
employee whose position or classification is abolished.
8. Salary Placement - An employee who is assigned to a lower classification as
a result of a displacement (bump) shall be placed on the step of the salary
range of the new classification which is closest to the compensation of the
employee in the previous classification, but in no case higher, and the
employee will be assigned a new salary anniversary date on the effective
date of the appointment. The employee shall, however, retain seniority while
his /her name remains on reemployment list or lists.
10
9. Re- Employment List - The names of permanent employees who have
been laid off under this section (including employees who have bumped
down) shall be placed, in order of seniority from highest to lowest, on a
reemployment list for their classification or any lower classification for
which the employee is qualified by education and /or experience. Persons
on such lists shall retain eligibility for appointment there from for a period
of three years from the date their names were placed on the list. As a
vacancy within a classification or lower related classification becomes
available, the name appearing at the top of the list shall be offered the
opportunity to fill the vacancy. The name of an individual selected from
the list to fill the vacancy who refuses the re- employment offer shall be
permanently removed from the re- employment list without right of appeal.
Laid -off employees do not earn seniority credit or benefits while on the re-
employment list.
10. Rights on Re- Employment - If a person is reemployed by the City within
three years, the employee's seniority, sick leave and vacation accrual
rates shall be reinstated. Any accumulated sick leave and /or vacation
earnings shall also be reinstated to the extent that the employee did not
receive compensation for such earnings at the time of lay off. Upon
reemployment, employees will be placed on the same salary step held at
the time of lay off.
Article 1.15 Personnel Policies
1. Overtime Distribution - The City shall assign overtime work as equitably as
possible among all qualified employees in the same classification in the
same organizational unit. Such overtime work shall to the extent possible
be assigned on the basis of volunteers. In the assignment of overtime

whichever is higher. (This amount will be known as the "2005
formula ".) Effective January 1, 2006, the City shall pay for 80% of
the increased premium which exceeds the formula set forth above.
Employees shall be responsible for the remaining 20 %. (For

plans increases by 10% over the anticipated 2005 average
premium of $757.29 /month (ie., an increase of $75.73 /month to
$833.02 /month), the City would pay up to $827.82/month ($807

is made at Level 11, the employee shall advance through the steps of the
range assigned to that level in the same manner as described in Section

budgeted at Level II in all cases. Merit considerations, as clarified by the
factors listed below, shall be the exclusive basis for advancement to Level
ll.

causes his /her assignment to Level II to be appropriate. No employee
shall be advanced to Level II without such an evaluation.

shall be compensated at the lowest rate of compensation provided for in
the higher Level II salary range which exceeds by not less than five
percent the rate of compensation received by said employee at the time of
assignment to Level II, unless otherwise ordered by the City Council.
While occupying a position assigned to a class series classification, an
employee shall serve only one probation period.
3. Longevity Achievement on Merit - Employees to whom this Chapter
applies who are eligible to receive longevity pay shall receive longevity
pay based upon an overall rating of "standard" or higher as determined by
the employee's performance evaluation. If the employee fails to qualify for
longevity pay because of failure to have attained a "standard" or higher
rating, and the employee's overall performance subsequently improves to
at least a "standard" level, the longevity pay increase shall be granted
upon the issuance of a satisfactory performance report.
4. Step Advancement - Anniversary Date - An employee advanced from any
range to another range of the Basic Salary Schedule shall receive a new
anniversary date which is the date of the change. If the employees
anniversary date falls in the first week of the pay period, the effective date
of the increase will be the first day of that pay period; if the effective date
falls on the second week of the pay period, the effective date of the
increase will be the first day of the following pay period. Other changes in
salary, unless specifically directed by the Council or as provided in Section
6 shall not change the anniversary date, except for promotions made in
accordance with the Personnel Merit System Ordinance or the Personnel
Rules and Regulations. The City Council reserves the right, at any time,
and in its sole discretion, to change the range number assigned to any
officer or employee and to determine the particular step in any range
number which is to be thereafter assigned to any such officer or
employee, subject to meet and confer with the Association.

Notwithstanding the above, an employee in a classification under Section
2 shall not be assigned a new anniversary date when he /she is advanced
from Level I to Level II in that same classification.
5. Increases on Merit - Basic Salary Schedule - An employee shall be eligible
for advancement to a higher step on the basis of service time as described
in Section 1 and satisfactory performance of duties. An employee will be
presumed to merit an increase unless his or her Department Head, with
the concurrence of the Director of Human Resources, notifies the
employee in writing no later than the end of the pay period which begins
after said employee's anniversary date that the increase should be
withheld, stating reasons. The reasons shall be provided to the employee
in writing. If the employee's performance subsequently improves to a
satisfactory level, the step increase will be granted and the date of

The parties have met and conferred in good faith regarding the adoption of a non-

Article 3.03 Break Policy
All affected employees performing in classifications traditionally described as "field
classifications" (generally including employees with the Divisions of Parks, Streets,
Water and Wastewater) shall be provided one (1) thirty (30) minute rest -break to be
taken near the mid -point of the first four hours of the employees regularly scheduled
work shift. Included with this break is all time required to secure the work site, to travel
to and from any rest -break location, and to reconvene work at the conclusion of the rest -
break.
All remaining employees shall be provided a fifteen (15) minute rest -break near the mid-
point of every fours of scheduled work. In order to ensure that such affected employees
are prepared to reconvene performance of their duties precisely at the conclusion of the
rest - break, such employees are encouraged to take their break within the building
where they are regularly assigned or on the grounds immediately adjacent to the work
assignment.
As regards lunch breaks, all affected employees are scheduled for either a thirty (30) or
sixty (60) minute lunch break depending upon the work assignment. Such scheduling
shall be in accord with pre- existing City practices and procedures.
Failure by any employee to utilize a rest or lunch break shall not result in any
accumulation or other "banking" of said unused time, nor shall such failure result in
conclusion of the employees' regularly scheduled shift at a time earlier than scheduled
nor shall any unused break time be utilized to extend a lunch break. However, in any
instance where management mandates that a rest or lunch break not be taken because
of the need to provide services to the City, then said additional work time shall be

in amounts of time equivalent to the missed breaks.

lunch breaks is discouraged. This break policy shall be implemented by all supervisory
and management personnel and shall prevail over any inconsistent City or Department
policy, written or otherwise.
Article 3.04 Alternative Work Schedules

Background and Discussion Continued
On October 2, 2007, one bid was received in the amount of $160,000 from Ace Electric, Inc.
Ace Electric, Inc. is a well qualified contractor with verified experience with similar projects.
The $160,000 bid amount is more than the $123,000 budget for the project. It is
recommended that Council approve the appropriation of funds in the amount of $37,000 for
this project from funds previously appropriated to the Washington Park Irrigation System
Replacement project in the Fiscal Year 2007 -2008 Capital Improvement Program. A request
will be submitted through the FY 2008 -2009 Capital Improvement Program Advisory
Committee process if additional funds are required to complete the Washington Park project.
The new fixtures will be significantly more energy efficient and will require only 60% as many
fixtures to provide similar lighting levels. Additionally, the new fixtures will reduce light overspilt
into adjacent neighborhoods and will reduce the impact of the parks activities on neighbors.
The following chart indicates the cost savings and reduction in carbon dioxide emissions that
are expected upon completion of the project.
Chart of Savings for Baseball Field Only
Scoreboard
Also included in this project is the replacement of the scoreboard at Stevenson Field. The
existing scoreboard has been problematic and only displays the total score. The Babe Ruth
Baseball Program has donated a new, state -of- the -art, scoreboard for installation at
Stevenson Field. Washington Iron Works has generously provided steel mounting poles for the
installation. Removal of the existing scoreboard and mounting poles, construction of pole
foundations, installation of donated poles and scoreboard and installation of electrical
connections is included in the proposed contract and will be funded from the Recreation and
Parks Operating budget in the amount of $10,000. Installation of the donated scoreboard at
the City's cost is in keeping with past scoreboard installations at the Softball Field and George
Brett Field.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 16, 2007
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding a request from DIRECTV to place a 14,960
square -foot temporary sign on the exterior of the building until February 1, 2008 in celebration
of their company's 70 High Definition channels at 2230 East Imperial Highway. Applicant:
DIRECTV (Fiscal Impact: None)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approve DIRECTV's request to install an oversized sign until February 1, 2008; and /or
2. Alternatively, discuss or take other actions related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On October 3, 2008, DIRECTV submitted a letter to the City requesting approval of a 14,960
square -foot (187'W x 80'H) temporary sign. Section 15 -18 -8H of the Municipal Code requires
that any sign over 500 square feet in area must be approved by the City Council. The
proposed sign would be displayed for approximately three and a half months until February 1,
2008, and cover most of the north face of the building at 2230 East Imperial Highway, which is
entirely occupied by DIRECTV. The sign would have people in a neighborhood setting looking
up at high definition channel logos in the sky. The orange and blue text on the banner will say
"They're here. Over 70HD channels. Soon, up to 100 will arrive." The sign will also display
DIRECTV's logo. The sign would be made of a perforated material affixed directly on the
building glass with adhesive, which would allow light to pass through the sign. The sign would
be lighted at night from 5:00pm to 6:00am with two temporary floodlights placed in the parking
lot in front of the building. The City Council has approved several temporary banners of the
same size for DIRECTV in the past. Last year the City Council approved a 14,960 square -foot
(187'W x 80'H) temporary sign that was installed for two months from February 28, 2006 to
April 28, 2006.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 16, 2007
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the City of El Segundo's Library Services Department and the El Segundo Unified
School District for continued services to four school libraries. (Fiscal Impact $213,000)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Recommendation: (1) Approve a Memorandum of Understanding for Library services between
the City and the El Segundo Unified School District for a three year term; (2) Alternatively,
discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
The City's Library Services Department has provided administrative functions to the School
District libraries since December 3, 1991, through a "Library System Affiliation Agreement ". On
January 18, 1994, the agreement was renewed with an additional "Definition Table" to further
delineate the terms of each party's responsibilities. In subsequent years, the agreement has
been renewed without changes since 1995.
Between the years 1999 -2003, all three school libraries were modernized and re- furbished by
the School District, plus an elementary school library was added at the Richmond Street
School to bring the total libraries being administered by the City Library to four school libraries.
(The other schools are Center Street School Elementary, the Middle School, and the High
School.) Three part-time school clerks were hired by the City for the Richmond St. School
Library and significant fund - raising was done by the PTA and the Friends of the Library to
create a core collection of books and materials at the Richmond School.

Staff Report: October 2, 2007 Page 2
Background and Discussion (continued)
Re- classifications for the school library clerks to Library Assistant level duties were approved
for FY 2007/08. This allowed City staff to provide higher levels of support to students and
teachers in finding appropriate materials for homework assignments and book reports,
instructing students in the use of library resources and performing storytimes to the lower
grade levels, K -4.
Therefore, because of these recent changes in services to the school libraries since the 1994
"Affiliation" document, staff is now recommending a MOU for Library Services which better
states the current level of operation and services in all four school libraries. Many of the
continued administrative duties by the City and responsibilities between the two parties have
been carried over to the MOU from the renewed "Affiliation Agreements" of 1994 -2002. The
changes include the new classifications of the part-time staff from Clerks to Library Assistants,
the addition of the Richmond Street School, and further definitions of City /School technology
support and library facility functions to reflect the advances in modern library practices.
A three (3) year agreement is recommended at this time with renewal options at the end of this
period, and a termination clause by either party of ninety (90) days.

STAFF REPORT: October 16, 2007 Page 2
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
Introduction
Every three years the State of California through the California Building Standards
Commission (CBSC) adopts the model building codes (building, plumbing, mechanical,
electrical, energy, fire, and administrative codes). Once the State adopts the model codes
all local government agencies have approximately 180 days to adopt the State codes and
add any local amendments. The California Building Standards Commission requires all
jurisdictions throughout the State of California to begin enforcing the latest edition of the
California codes by January 1, 2008. The Planning and Building Safety Department staff
and the Fire Department staff recommend that the City Council adopt these new codes with
amendments with an effective date of January 1, 2008.
The California Building Code and other related California codes provide for minimum
standards for any building or structure which is erected, constructed, altered, or
demolished. Staff is recommending local amendments to the above - mentioned California
codes to protect the welfare of the occupants and the economic viability of the community.
Proposed Amendments
Both the Building Safety Division and Fire Department staff are proposing a minimal
number of amendments to the California Building and Fire Codes. Those changes are
identified in the attached ordinances. The adoption of the new codes will have some effect
but not a substantial effect on wood and metal construction. This is because the new
codes contain most of the amendments made to previous codes which were adopted in
2002.
Building Code
The proposed building code amendments include adding definitions for administrator and
building access; modifying the definitions for low -rise and mid -rise buildings consistent with
the proposed fire code amendments to clarify that the height of a building is measured from
the topside of the roof above the topmost space that can be occupied to the lowest floor
level of building access; adding a requirement consistent with the proposed fire code
amendments that requires Group B occupancy buildings (office buildings) larger than
12,000 square feet to have automatic sprinkler systems; and to add a requirement
consistent with the proposed fire code amendments to require automatic sprinkler systems
for buildings four stories or more in height. Other proposed building code amendments
include continuing the 2002 adopted local amendments regarding the requirements and
permit process for temporary buildings, structures and trailers; permit fees; construction
debris; and what type of buildings require building permits; when permits can and cannot
be issued because of environmental regulations and pending discretionary approvals
before the Planning Commission. Additionally, a new proposed building code amendment
includes a clarification that shear walls cannot be made of particle board, fiberboard,
gypsum wall board or stucco.

building & fire code update 10- 16- 07.doc L}
STAFF REPORT: October 16, 2007 Page 3
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
Electrical. Plumbing , Mechanical, Energy and Administrative Codes
All of these codes are being modified with local amendments to clarify that the setting of
fees are by City Council resolution. There are a few additional local amendments outlined
below. The proposed local amendments to the 2007 California Electrical Code include
increasing the size of underground utilities for all residential or nonresidential structures
requiring electrical services from a minimum two -inch (2 ") to three inch (Y) size
underground raceway. The proposed local amendments to the 2007 California Mechanical
Code include clarifications to the issuance of permits. The proposed local amendments to
the 2007 California Administrative Code include continuing the 2002 adopted local
amendment regarding the building code appeals board process. No other local
amendments are proposed to the 2007 California Plumbing Code or 2007 California Energy
Code.
Fire Code
The proposed fire code amendments include both the adoption of the 2007 California Fire
Code and the 2006 International Fire Code. The proposed fire code amendments also
include continuing to require the previously adopted local code requirements from the 2002
code regarding mid -rise buildings from 4 stories up to 75 feet in height, existing fire
department access, water supply, and general fire safety requirements. Additional
amendments regarding the above - mentioned four topic areas are proposed because they
are not addressed in the 2007 California Fire Code and in the case of the requirements to
maintain fire department access, water supply, and general fire safety requirements have
not been incorporated in the International Fire Code. The mid -rise building amendments
will only affect new construction and substantial building renovations, and are not
retroactive to existing buildings. Fire Department staff proposes to have the existing mid -
rise, fire department access, water supply and general fire safety requirements continued.
The mid -rise requirements will continue to allow developers to realize a cost savings.
Proposed Ordinance Effective Date
Taking into consideration the amount of building permit and plan check activity on -going in
the city, it may be appropriate to consider modifying when the new standards would be
effective. The anticipated effective date for the new code would be December 7, 2007
based upon a November 7th hearing date. Staff is recommending that the city ordinance
effective date coincide with the State's effective date of January 1, 2008. This would
provide additional time for applicant's to adjust their projects to the new standards.
Therefore, any project that is submitted for Building Safety Division plan review prior to the

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE INCORPORATING THE 2007 CALIFORNIA BUILDING
CODE VOLUMES IAND II ( "CBC ") BY REFERENCE AND AMENDING
THE CBC BASED UPON LOCAL CLIMATIC, TOPOGRAPHIC, AND
GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS.
The council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. In accordance with Health & Safety Code § 17958.7, it is in the public
interest to adopt the 2007 Edition of the California Building Code Volumes I, and
II ( "CBC ") with the changes set forth in this Ordinance.
B. Pursuant to the requirements of Health and Safety Code § 17958.7, the
City Council finds the following:
1. There are local geographical conditions justifying the CBC
amendments set forth below. Specifically, the City is located in an area
with a high probability for a severe seismic event. Studies resulting from
the 1994 Northridge Earthquake determined that additional structural
requirements in the City's building codes are needed to give buildings a
reasonable degree of structural integrity to help protect public health and
safety in the event of a seismic event; and
2. There are local topographical conditions justifying the CBC
amendments set forth below. The City has hillside and flat land
developments that require special drainage precautions. Structures would
be subject to water damage without special requirements addressing site
drainage. The City has a mixture of structures with varying heights that
make fire suppression response difficult. Occupants of structures may be
subject to fire and smoke hazards.
C. The specific amendments of the CBC that fulfill this requirement:
1. CBC Chapter 16 to 23 regulate the general design requirements
applicable to the construction of all structures and portion thereof
regulated by this code.
D. Based upon the foregoing findings, the changes made to the CBC by this
Ordinance are reasonably necessary to provide sufficient and effective protection
of life, health and property.

its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal of the

and Building Safety Department (that is, detailed architectural plans have been

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2007 EDITION OF THE
CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, 2006 EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE,
AND AMENDING THESE CODES THROUGH EXPRESS FINDINGS OF LOCAL
NECESSITY.
The Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS. The City Council finds that certain local climatic, geological,
or topographical conditions exist as follows:
A. Climatic - The City experiences periods of extremely high temperatures
accompanied by low humidity and high winds each year. These
conditions could create an environment in which the Fire Department may
be unable to control fires occurring in vegetation as well as structures not
having built in fire protection.
B. Geological - The City is located in a seismically active area. A significant
earthquake could render the Fire Department incapable of providing
adequate fire protection. In that instance, built -in fire protection would be
relied upon for controlling most structural fires.
C. After due consideration, the City Council finds and determines that due to
these local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions that
amendments, additions, and deletions to the California Fire Code, 2007
Edition, are reasonably necessary to provide sufficient and effective levels
of fire safety for the protection of life, health and property. Specifically,
these amendments are made as follows:
1. CFC § 901.4.1.1 — 910.1. Provides a means of ensuring that fire
protection systems are installed and maintained in a manner that
will provide adequate protection during periods of low humidity and
Page 1 of 23
'� r7
1�r
high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted
access present in the City.
2. CFC § 915.1 - 915.8.2.6. Requires the installation of fire protection
and life safety equipment in new mid -rise buildings /structures that
increase the fire and life safety of the structures/buildings in order
to provide adequate fire protection during periods of low humidity
and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted
access present in the City.
3. CFC § 3301.1.3 and 3309. Prohibits the general use of fireworks,
including "Safe and Sane" fireworks and authorizes the fire code
official to confiscate fireworks in order to reduce the danger from
fire during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic
activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City.
3. CFC Appendix B § B105.2. Reduces the available fire flow
reduction to 50 percent to increase site available fire flow to provide
adequate fire protection and life safety during periods of low
humidity and high winds, - potential seismic activity, or in areas of
restricted access present in the City.
SECTION 2: Chapter 10 to Title 13 of the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") is
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

ORDINANCE NO. 1368
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN
ADDING A PARKING IN -LIEU FEE PROGRAM (SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. 03-3)
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On July 24, 2003, the City initiated the process to amend Downtown
Specific Plan (DSP) to create a parking in -lieu fee program. The
application was reviewed by the City's Department of Community,
Economic and Development Services for, in part, consistency with the
General Plan and conformity with the El Segundo Municipal Code
( "ESMC ");
B. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under
the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§
21000, et seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal.
Code of Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the
City's Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805,
adopted March 16, 1993);
C. The Department of Community, Economic and Development Services
completed its review and scheduled a public hearing regarding the
application before the Planning Commission for October 9, 2003;
D. On October 9, 2003, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the application
including, without limitation, information provided to the Planning
Commission by city staff; and, adopted Resolution No. 2555
recommending that the City Council approve the proposed project;
E. On November 5, 2003 the City Council held a public hearing to receive
public testimony and other evidence regarding the application including,
without limitation, information provided to the City Council by Department
of Community, Economic and Development Services, and adopted
Resolution No. 4338 approving Environmental Assessment No. 621 for
Specific Plan Amendment No. 03 -3; and,
F. On November 5, 2003 the City Council held a public hearing and
considered the information provided by City staff and public testimony.
This Ordinance and its findings, are made based upon the evidence
presented to the Council at its November 5, 2003 hearing including,
without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Department of
Page 1 of 4
201
Community, Economic and Development Services.
SECTION 2: Specific Plan Findings. After considering the above facts, the
Commission finds as follows:
A. The General Plan Land use designation for the project is Downtown
Specific Plan.
B. The proposed amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan is consistent
with the General Plan land use designation for the properties involved.
C. The proposed amendment to establish a parking in -lieu fee would further
General Plan goals, objectives, and policies to preserve and maintain the
City's downtown (Objective 1-1.11 -4), help create and integrated,
complimentary, and attractive multi -use downtown (Objective LU 4 -2), and
would revitalize and upgrade commercial areas (Policy LU- 4 -2.1) by
creating the opportunity for growth in the downtown area.
D. This amendment could facilitate the construction of additional floor area in
the DSP that is already permitted to occur by providing a mechanism for
on -site parking to be eliminated through the payment of a parking in -lieu
fee.
SECTION 3: Approvals. The Council amends Chapter VII, Section 3, subsection c. of
the Downtown Specific Plan to read as follows:
"c. Parking Reductions:
i) Parking Demand Study. The Director of Community, Economic and
Development Services may modify the required number of parking
spaces or approve joint use or off -site parking, for fewer than 10
spaces, based on the submittal of a parking demand study.
Reductions of 10 or more spaces require Planning Commission
approval. Additionally, for any use for which the number of parking
spaces is not listed, the Director of Community, Economic and
Development Services or Planning Commission will specify the
required number of spaces based on a parking demand study. A
parking demand study must include, without limitation, information
specifying the number of employees, customers, visitors, clients,
residents and owner- occupancy of residence and business (for
existing legal non - conforming residential uses), shifts, deliveries,
parking spaces, or other criteria established by the Director of
Community, Economic and Development Services. The study may
also include the use of valet or attendant parking.
ii). Parking In -Lieu Fees
Page 2 of 4
a. The number of parking spaces required by this chapter because
of adding new floor area to an existing building or constructing a
new building may be reduced by paying a parking in -lieu fee in
an amount set by City Council resolution.
b. Any residential unit constructed after the effective date of the
ordinance adding the in -lieu fee option, which is subsequently
converted to a non - residential use, must provide parking as
required by this chapter for such use or pay a parking in -lieu fee
for the floor area converted to the non - residential use.
c. The parking in -lieu fee must be paid before the City issues a
Certificate of Occupancy. Funds collected by the City from such
payments must be deposited in a separate fund and cannot be
commingled with any other City fund. Monies from the in -lieu
fund may only be used for acquiring and developing additional
parking and related facilities, including, without limitation,
acquisition or development of parking stalls in private parking
facilities, needed for the downtown. Funds paid to the City for in-
lieu parking are non - refundable.
d. Parking provided by the City will be developed within or
adjacent to boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan. Payment
of a parking in -lieu fee does not provide or vest any property
owner with a special right, privilege or interest of any kind in any
parking facility that may result from the payment of the fee.
There is no guarantee that the City will build parking at any
particular time or that it will build parking in a location that will be
of advantage to the property owner paying the fee."
SECTION 4: If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not affect the
effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions
of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 5: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original
ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting;
and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it
to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

SECTION 6: This Ordinance will become effective on the thirty -first (31st) day following
its passage and adoption.

RESOLUTIION NO. 4339
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING IN -LIEU FEES IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE EL SEGUNDO DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. This Resolution is adopted in accord with the El Segundo Downtown
Specific Plan ( "DSP ") and the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "SPMC ") for
the purpose of establishing in -lieu parking fees;
B. The ESMC generally requires that new construction provide sufficient
parking to accommodate vehicle traffic generated from such construction;
C. The unique circumstances of the City's downtown, e.g., the number of
non - conforming small lots, can make it difficult for businesses to expand
since the ability to provide adequate parking is limited by available
acreage;
D. It is in the public interest for the City to provide options to persons seeking
to expand the size of their businesses to comply with the ESMC;
E. To fulfill this responsibility, the City adopted an in -lieu fee program that
allows business owners to pay a fee to the City to satisfy parking
requirements set forth in the ESMC;
F. This Resolution relies upon the documentary and testimonial evidence
submitted to the City during the public hearing held on November 5, 2003
in addition to such additional information that may be in the administrative
record;
G. The Report prepared by Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc., dated June 12,
2003, regarding calculations of Downtown Parking Fees ( "Report") is
attached as Exhibit "A," and incorporated into this Resolution by reference;
H. The Report concludes that the City may set an in -lieu parking fee as in an
amount not to exceed $37,693 per parking space;
1. The Council believes that establishing the full amount suggested in the
Report may discourage businesses from participating in the in -lieu
program and, accordingly, believes it is in the public interest to establish a
fee of a lesser amount; and
This Resolution relies upon the calculations, assumptions, analysis, and
conclusions set forth in the Report in addition to all other matters in the
City's records.
..
SECTION 2: Calculation of Parking Fees. The amount of parking fees that can be
paid to the City in accordance with the DSP ( "Fees ") is established at $17,500 per
parking space.
SECTION 3: Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act. This
Resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal.
Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA ") and CEQA regulations (Cal. Code Regs.
Title 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, structures, and approves rates and
charges to obtain funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing
service areas. This Resolution, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA
review under Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, § 15273.
SECTION 4: Effective Date of this Resolution. The effective date of this Resolution
will coincide with the effective date of Ordinance No.a and will remain in effect

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 16, 2007
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Mayor McDowell
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to appoint a subcommittee comprised of members of the
City Council, business and residential communities and staff to discuss and make
recommendations related to the proposed reduction of water allocated to cities by the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) (Fiscal Impact: None)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Authorize the appointment of a City Council Subcommittee comprised of two (2) members
of the City Council, two (2) members from the business community, two (2) members from the
residential community and staff; 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this
item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
In August 2007, a federal court order reduced allocations from California's two largest water
delivery systems in the Sacramento Delta by up to one -third of previous totals in an effort to
protect the endangered delta smelt. As expected, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD) has announced 30% reductions in water allocated to member agencies and
cities. In addition, MWD has stated that there would likely be a 5% increase of the cost of
water delivered to member agencies and cities. That issue, coupled with the prediction of
continued drought conditions in Southern California, has brought the issues of water
conservation and rationing into the public arena for the first time since the early 1990s.

Background and Discussion (con't):
In order to be ready for reduced water supplies and increased water costs, I am
recommending that the City Council authorize the appointment of a subcommittee comprised
of members of the City Council the business and residential communities and city staff to meet
and make recommendations to the City Council of appropriate steps to take if water
conservation measures, which could include possible rationing, become necessary to cope
with reduced water supplies.
The best way to minimize the possibility of rationing is to begin increasing effective water
conservation now. Our city has an outstanding track record in water conservation, but even
more may be needed to cope with reduced supplies.
I propose that the council establish a committee comprised of at least two members from each
group of stakeholders identified above that would meet not less frequently than quarterly
(andmore often if required) over the next twelve months. The comittee would make its
recommendations for appropriate action to the City Council as soon as reasonably feasible.
