II. Background
In 2000, the Federal government enacted the Religious Land Use and Institutional Persons Act
( RLUIPA). RLUIPA is intended to limit government's ability to "impose or implement a land
use regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a
person, including a religious assembly or institution." In summary, cities land use regulations
are required to treat places of religious assembly the same way they deal with other assembly
uses such as theaters, clubs, and lodges. On July 21, 2010, City staff initiated the subject
application to make the ESMC and the Downtown Specific Plan consistent with the provisions of
RLUIPA.
On August 26, 2010, the Planning Commission recommended City Council approval of
Environmental Assessment No. EA -884, Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 10 -05, and Specific
Plan Text Amendment No. SPTA 10 -02. A draft ordinance including the recommended changes
to the ESMC is attached to this report (see Exhibit Nos. 1 and 2) and discussed briefly below.
Exhibit 2 provides a strikeout - underline format for all modified municipal code and Downtown
Specific Plan sections.
III. Analysis
The overall goal of the proposed Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) and Specific Plan Text
Amendment (SPTA) is to update the City's regulations regarding assembly hall uses making
them consistent with RLUIPA's provisions. The primary objectives of this amendment are:
A. Common definition.
ESMC Title 15 Chapter 13A would establish an assembly hall definition that includes all
assembly uses, both secular and religious.
B. Common standards.
1) Parking. All assembly halls would be required to meet the same parking requirements.
New parking requirements for assembly halls were adopted by the City Council on August 3,
2010 and became effective on September 3, 2010.
2) Conditional Use Permit requirement. All assembly hall uses would require approval of a
conditional use permit.
A complete discussion of all the proposed changes is included in the Planning Commission staff
report dated August 26, 2010, which is attached to this report.
IV. General Plan Consistency and Specific Plan Consistency
As required under Government Code § 65454 the City Council must find that the proposed
amendment of the El Segundo Municipal Code and the Downtown Specific Plan is consistent
with the City's General Plan. Staff believes that the City Council can make the required findings
of approval, which are included in the attached Ordinance (Attachment 1).
In summary, the proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan land use designations
for the properties involved. In addition, the amendment is consistent with the General Plan
Goals, Policies, and Objectives in its Land Use and Noise Elements.

V. Environmental Review
The proposed zone text and specific plan text amendments are exempt from review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.,
"CEQA ") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§
15000, et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines ") because it consists only of minor revisions and
clarifications to existing zoning regulations and related procedures. It does not have the effect of
deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings required thereof. The
proposed Ordinance is an action that does not have the potential to cause significant effects on
the environment. In addition, any environmental impacts associated with this ordinance are
adequately addressed in the General Plan FEIR. Accordingly, this ordinance is consistent with
the General Plan FEIR and is exempt from further environmental review requirements under the
California Environmental Quality Act. Furthermore, this ordinance constitutes a component of
the El Segundo Municipal Code which the Planning Commission determined to be consistent
with the FEIR for the City of El Segundo General Plan on December 1, 1992. Accordingly, no
further environmental review is required pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15168(c)(2).
VI. Planning Commission Hearing and Public Input
At its August 26, 2010, the Planning Commission reviewed the matter, consider the public
testimony and recommended to the City Council the approval of Environmental Assessment No.
EA -884, Zone Text Amendment ZTA 10 -05, and Specific Plan Text Amendment SPTA 10 -02.
No written comments were received from the public. No members of the public provided oral
testimony at the Commission hearing. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed ordinance as drafted.
VII. Recommendation
Planning staff recommends that the City Council introduce and waive first reading of the
attached draft Ordinance approving Environmental Assessment No. EA -884, Zone Text
Amendment ZTA 10 -05, and Specific Plan Text Amendment SPTA 10 -02. Second reading and
adoption of the Ordinance would occur on October 5, 2010.

ORDINANCE NO. EXHIBIT "A"
FINDING OF CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN EIR
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
AMENDMENT TO EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE
EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE AND ESTABLISH A CHAPTER REGULATING
ASSEMBLY HALL USES
August 2010
The City of El Segundo has initiated an application that proposing to amend Title 15 of the
El Segundo Municipal Code and establish a chapter regulating assembly hall uses. The
proposal constitutes a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Thus, environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA (Public Resources Code §§
21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, etseq.), and
the City of El Segundo CEQA Guidelines. This document serves as the project
environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA.
Background
In 1992, El Segundo adopted a comprehensive update of its General Plan, which included
the Land Use and Economic Development elements. The 1992 General Plan and its
subsequent amendments set forth policy for land use development in El Segundo and
within its sphere of influence. The circumstances, impacts, and mitigation requirements
identified in the General Plan EIR remain applicable to the proposed amendments and the
amendments do not raise any new issues and do not cause the level of impacts identified
in the General Plan EIR to be exceeded. Specifically, the amendment to the El Segundo
Municipal Code establishing Title 15 Chapter 13A (Assembly Halls) will set a new
definition and developments standards for assembly hall uses.
Relationship of the Zoning Text Amendment to the General Plan
The proposed amendment to the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") implements the
goals, policies and programs outlined in the 1992 General Plan, including the Land Use
and Noise elements. It is consistent with Goal LU1, Objective LU1 -5, of the Land Use
element, in that it creates policies design standards; helps create a sense of place for the
entire City; develops standards that will ensure the compatibility of assembly hall uses with
surrounding uses; and encourages the construction of high - quality, well designed
developments through the adoption of property development standards. In addition, it is
consistent with Goal N1, Objective N1 -2 of the Noise Element, in that it helps ensure that
City residents are not exposed to excessive noise from stationary sources. Adoption of
the proposed amendment will not provide for any new development beyond that anticipated
by land use policy set forth in the1992 General Plan Update and the subsequent 2005
update of the Land Use Element.
Environmental Analysis
The proposed zone text amendment is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, etseq., "CEQA ")
0
and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000,
et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines ") because it consists only of minor revisions and
clarifications to an existing zoning code and specification of procedures related thereto and
will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or
findings required thereof. The proposed Ordinance is an action that does not have the
potential to cause significant effects on the environment. In addition, any environmental
impacts associated with this ordinance are adequately addressed in the General Plan
FEIR. Accordingly, this ordinance is consistent with the General Plan FEIR and is exempt
from further environmental review requirements under the California Environmental Quality
Act. Furthermore, this ordinance constitutes a component of the El Segundo Municipal
Code which the Planning Commission determined to be consistent with the FEIR for the
City of El Segundo General Plan on December 1, 1992. Accordingly, no further
environmental review is required pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15168(c)(2).
Findings
Based on the above analysis, the City of El Segundo hereby makes the following findings:
1. In 1992, the City of El Segundo adopted a comprehensive General Plan update and
certified a Final EIR.
2. The proposed amendment consists of text changes. The ESMC Title 15 Chapter 13A
(Assembly Halls) will be established to regulate assembly hall uses. The new Chapter
13A will set a new definition and new development standards for assembly halls. In
addition, the permitted uses and conditionally permitted uses in various zones and the
Downtown Specific Plan will be amended to accommodate assembly hall uses.
3. Adoption of proposed amendment will not result in any new or increased environmental
effects, and no new mitigation measures are required.
4. Pursuant to Section 15168(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, no new environmental
documentation is required for adoption of the amendments to the ESMC.

FINDING OF CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN EIR
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
AMENDMENT TO EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE
EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE AND ESTABLISH A CHAPTER REGULATING
ASSEMBLY HALL USES
August 2010
The City of El Segundo has initiated an application that proposing to amend Title 15 of the
El Segundo Municipal Code and establish a chapter regulating assembly hall uses. The
proposal constitutes a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Thus, environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA (Public Resources Code §§
21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, etseq.), and
the City of El Segundo CEQA Guidelines. This document serves as the project
environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA.
Background
In 1992, El Segundo adopted a comprehensive update of its General Plan, which included
the Land Use and Economic Development elements. The 1992 General Plan and its
subsequent amendments set forth policy for land use development in El Segundo and
within its sphere of influence. The circumstances, impacts, and mitigation requirements
identified in the General Plan EIR remain applicable to the proposed amendments and the
amendments do not raise any new issues and do not cause the level of impacts identified
in the General Plan EIR to be exceeded. Specifically, the amendment to the El Segundo
Municipal Code establishing Title 15 Chapter 13A (Assembly Halls) will set a new
definition and developments standards for assembly hall uses.
Relationship of the Zoning Text Amendment to the General Plan
The proposed amendment to the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") implements the
goals, policies and programs outlined in the 1992 General Plan, including the Land Use
and Noise elements. It is consistent with Goal LU 1, Objective LU 1 -5, of the Land Use
element, in that it creates policies design standards; helps create a sense of place for the
entire City; develops standards that will ensure the compatibility of assembly hall uses with
surrounding uses; and encourages the construction of high - quality, well designed
developments through the adoption of property development standards. In addition, it is
consistent with Goal N1, Objective N1 -2 of the Noise Element, in that it helps ensure that
City residents are not exposed to excessive noise from stationary sources. Adoption of
the proposed amendment will not provide for any new development beyond that anticipated
by land use policy set forth in the1992 General Plan Update and the subsequent 2005
update of the Land Use Element.
Environmental Analysis
The proposed zone text amendment is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, etseq., "CEQA ")
and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000,
et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines ") because it consists only of minor revisions and
clarifications to an existing zoning code and specification of procedures related thereto and
will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or
findings required thereof. The proposed Ordinance is an action that does not have the
potential to cause significant effects on the environment. In addition, any environmental
impacts associated with this ordinance are adequately addressed in the General Plan
FEIR. Accordingly, this ordinance is consistent with the General Plan FEIR and is exempt
from further environmental review requirements under the California Environmental Quality
Act. Furthermore, this ordinance constitutes a component of the El Segundo Municipal
Code which the Planning Commission determined to be consistent with the FEIR for the
City of El Segundo General Plan on December 1, 1992. Accordingly, no further
environmental review is required pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15168(c)(2).
Findings
Based on the above analysis, the City of El Segundo hereby makes the following findings:
In 1992, the City of El Segundo adopted a comprehensive General Plan update and
certified a Final EIR.
2. The proposed amendment consists of text changes. The ESMC Title 15 Chapter 13A
(Assembly Halls) will be established to regulate assembly hall uses. The new Chapter
13A will set a new definition and new development standards for assembly halls. In
addition, the permitted uses and conditionally permitted uses in various zones and the
Downtown Specific Plan will be amended to accommodate assembly hall uses.
3. Adoption of proposed amendment will not result in any new or increased environmental
effects, and no new mitigation measures are required.
4. Pursuant to Section 15168(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, no new environmental
documentation is required for adoption of the amendments to the ESMC.

SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment No. EA -884, Zone
Text Amendment ZTA 10 -05, and Specific Plan
Text Amendment SPTA 10 -02
APPLICANT: City of El Segundo
PROPERTY OWNER: Various
REQUEST: Environmental Assessment, Zone Text Amendment
to amend the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ")
to establish a new Title 15 Chapter 13A regarding
assembly halls and to amend the permitted and
conditionally permitted uses in various zones, and
Specific Plan Text Amendment to amend the
permitted and conditionally permitted uses within
the Downtown Specific Plan
PROPERTY INVOLVED: Citywide
I. Introduction
The proposed project is an ordinance establishing a new ESMC Title 15 Chapter
13A regarding assembly halls, amending the permitted and conditionally permitted
uses in various zones, and amending the Downtown Specific Plan permitted and
conditionally permitted uses.
II. Recommendation
Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the facts as
contained within this report and submitted during the public hearing, and then adopt
Resolution No. 2679 recommending that the City Council approve Environmental
Assessment No. 884, Zone Text Amendment 10 -05, and Specific Plan Text
0 13 t)l
Amendment 10 -02.
III. Background
Staff initiated the proposed Zone Text Amendment and Specific Plan Text
Amendment in response to the enactment in 2000 of the Religious Land Use and
Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA). RLUIPA is intended to limit government's
ability to "impose or implement a land use regulation in a manner that imposes a
substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person, including a religious
assembly or institution." The intent of the proposed Amendments is to make the
ESMC and the Downtown Specific Plan consistent with the provisions of RLUIPA.
IV. ANALYSIS
The analysis section includes a description of the proposed Amendments, a
discussion of their consistency with the El Segundo Municipal Code, the General
Plan, and the required Environmental Review.
A. ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT:
The intent of the proposed ordinance is to treat religious assemblies or institutions
consistently with RLUIPA, which is to treat them equally with other assembly hall
uses. The proposed ordinance sets a common definition and standards for all types
of assembly uses.
Proposed Chapter 13A
Definition of assembly halls
The proposed definition for assembly hall use encompasses all assembly hall uses,
including secular and religious uses. The proposed definition states:
" "Assembly Hall" means a building, or portion of a building, used for large scale
public or private gatherings of people. For example, and without limitation,
assembly halls include private educational facilities; religious institutions; clubs;
lodges; theaters, and similar kinds of facilities whether available for public or private
use."
In addition to the above definition, Section 2 of the proposed Ordinance replaces all
references in the ESMC purporting to regulate churches, temples, or other religious
institutions, with the general term "assembly halls." Both the definition and the
language in Section 2 aim to eliminate the distinction between religious institutions
and other assembly uses.
2
Standards for assembly halls
In addition to the definition, the proposed ordinance establishes common standards
for assembly hall uses:
1. Uses ancillary to assembly halls, must be specifically authorized by a conditional
use permit authorizing the assembly hall, or must be separately permitted by
another permit.
2. Assembly hall uses must meet the parking requirements established in the
ESMC and may not use required front yard setbacks for parking purposes.
Compatibility with surrounding uses
The proposed ordinance also requires that assembly hall uses be compatible with
the surrounding properties and developments, and it authorizes the Planning
Commission to regulate their hours of operation.
Amendments to Individual Zones
The proposed definition of assembly halls includes several uses that are currently
addressed in the El Segundo Municipal Code. The uses include, without limitation,
clubs, trade union halls, fraternities, sororities, lodges, theaters, and religious
facilities. However, these uses are not always addressed consistently in the code.
For example, in the Downtown Commercial (C -RS) Zone, churches, church schools
and religious facilities are permitted with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), whereas
theaters and union halls are permitted by right. To address such inconsistencies
and to remove any differentiation between the same assembly hall uses, several
changes are proposed to the permitted and conditionally permitted uses of various
Zones. Those changes are summarized in the following table.

All of the uses currently listed in the above zones that fall under the proposed
assembly hall definition will be replaced with the term "Assembly Hall" and be
permitted in those zones only with a conditional use permit.
B. SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT
The intent of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment is to bring the Downtown
Specific Plan (DSP) into conformance with RLUIPA's provisions. The DSP currently
prohibits churches in most of its districts, while it permits other assembly hall types
of uses by right. Several changes are proposed in the permitted, conditionally
permitted, and prohibited uses to address these inconsistencies. The following
table summarizes the current and proposed provisions of the DSP:

* In 2009, the City processed a Specific Plan Text Amendment related to
Temporary uses. During the process, residential units on the upper levels were
inadvertently deleted from the list of permitted uses, and bed and breakfast hotels
and artist studios were added to the permitted uses of some districts. Staff noticed
these errors during its research on the current amendments and has corrected
them in the proposed ordinance.
All of the uses currently listed in the above districts that fall under the proposed
assembly hall definition will be replaced with the term "Assembly Hall" and will be
permitted in those districts only with a conditional use permit.

FINDINGS:
Consistency with the El Segundo Municipal Code
Pursuant to ESMC Title 15, Chapter 26 (Amendments), in order to recommend City
Council approval of the proposed amendments, the Planning Commission must find
that the amendments are necessary to carry out the general purpose of Title 15.
- The purpose of this Title (ESMC § t5 -1 -1 -) is to serve the public health, safety, and
general welfare and to provide economic and social advantages resulting from an
orderly planned use of land resources. Planning staff believes that the Planning
Commission can make the findings in order to recommend City Council approval of
the proposed amendment. The findings are discussed in the proposed resolution.
V. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
ESMC 15 -1 -1 (Purpose, Title) states that Title 15 is the primary tool for
implementation of the goals, objectives, and policies of the El Segundo General
Plan. Accordingly, the Planning Commission must find that the proposed Zone Text
Amendment is consistent with those goals, objectives, and policies. Planning staff
believes that the Planning Commission can make the findings in order to
recommend City Council approval of the proposed amendment. The findings are
discussed in the proposed resolution.
VI. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed zone text amendment is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.,
"CEQA ") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of
Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines ") because it consists
only of minor revisions and clarifications to existing zoning regulations and related
procedures. It does not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any
regulatory standards or findings required thereof. The proposed Ordinance is an
action that does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the
environment. In addition, any environmental impacts associated with this ordinance
are adequately addressed in the General Plan FEIR. Accordingly, this ordinance is
consistent with the General Plan FEIR and is exempt from further environmental
review requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act. Furthermore,
this ordinance constitutes a component of the El Segundo Municipal Code which
the Planning Commission determined to be consistent with the FEIR for the City of
El Segundo General Plan on December 1, 1992. Accordingly, no further
environmental review is required pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15168(c)(2).

VII. CONCLUSION
The proposed Zone Text Amendment establishes a new ESMC Title 15 Chapter
13A that establishes standards regarding assembly hall uses. The proposed
Chapter would set common standards for all assembly uses including religious
institutions, which is consistent with the requirements of the Religious Land Use and
- Institutionalized Persons Act -. - Therefore, - staff- recommends that- the- Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. 2679, establishing ESMC Title 15 Chapter 13A
regulating assembly halls, and amendments to the permitted and conditionally
permitted uses in various zones, and to amend the permitted and conditionally
permitted uses within the Downtown Specific Plan.

Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by
substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in
evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the
project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the
Planning Commission's lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts
have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the
-3-
075
limitations on the city's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national
problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it
exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 12: This Resolution may be appealed within ten (10) calendar days after its
adoption. All appeals must be in writing and filed with the City Clerk within this time
period. Failure to file a timely written appeal will constitute a waiver of any right of
appeal.

FINDING OF CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN EIR
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
AMENDMENT TO EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE
EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE AND ESTABLISH A CHAPTER REGULATING
ASSEMBLY HALL USES
— August - 201-0 — — - - -- -- --
The City of El Segundo initiated an application that proposing to amend Title 15 of the El
Segundo Municipal Code and establish a chapter regulating assembly hall uses. The
proposal constitutes a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Thus, environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA (Public Resources Code §§
21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, etseq.), and
the City of El Segundo CEQA Guidelines. This document serves as the project
environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA.
Background
In 1992, El Segundo adopted a comprehensive update of its General Plan, which included
the Land Use and Economic Development elements. The 1992 General Plan and its
subsequent amendments set forth policy for land use development in El Segundo and
within its sphere of influence. The circumstances, impacts, and mitigation requirements
identified in the General Plan EIR remain applicable to the proposed amendments and the
amendments do not raise any new issues and do not cause the level of impacts identified
in the General Plan EIR to be exceeded. Specifically, the amendment to the El Segundo
Municipal Code establishing Title 15 Chapter 13A (Assembly Halls) will establish a new
definition and developments standards for assembly hall uses.
Relationship of the Zoning Text Amendment to the General Plan
The proposed amendment to the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") implements the
goals, policies and programs outlined in the 1992 General Plan, including the Land Use
and Noise elements. It is consistent with Goal LU1, Objective LU1 -5, of the Land Use
element, in that it creates policies design standards; helps create a sense of place for the
entire City; develops standards that will ensure the compatibility of assembly hall uses with
surrounding uses; and encourages the construction of high - quality, well designed
developments through the adoption of property development standards. In addition, it is
consistent with Goal N1, Objective N1 -2 of the Noise Element, in that it helps ensure that
City residents are not exposed to excessive noise from stationary sources. Adoption of
the proposed amendment will not provide for any new development beyond that anticipated
by land use policy set forth in the1992 General Plan Update and the subsequent 2005
update of the Land Use Element.
Finding of Consistency
9 �')
Environmental Analysis
The proposed zone text amendment is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ")
and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000,
et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines ") because it consists only of minor revisions and
clarifications to existing zoning regulations and related procedures. It does not have the
_ effect -of - deleting orsubstantially- changing -any- regulatory- standards -or- findings- required - --
thereof. The proposed Ordinance is an action that does not have the potential to cause
significant effects on the environment. In addition, any environmental impacts associated
with this ordinance are adequately addressed in the General Plan FEIR. Accordingly, this
Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan FEIR and is exempt from further
environmental review requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Furthermore, this Ordinance constitutes a component of the El Segundo Municipal Code
which the Planning Commission determined to be consistent with the FEIR for the City of
El Segundo General Plan on December 1, 1992. Accordingly, no further environmental
review is required pursuant to 1.4 Cal Code Regs. § 15168(c)(2).
Findings
Based on the above analysis, the City of El Segundo makes the following findings:
1. In 1992, the City of El Segundo adopted a comprehensive General Plan update and
certified a Final EIR.
2. The proposed amendment consists of text changes. The ESMC Title 15 Chapter 13A
(Assembly Halls) will be established to regulate assembly hall uses. The new Chapter
13A will set a new definition and new development standards for assembly halls. In
addition, the permitted uses and conditionally permitted uses in various zones and the
Downtown Specific Plan will be amended to accommodate assembly hall uses.
3. Adoption of proposed amendment will not result in any new or increased environmental
effects, and no new mitigation measures are required.
4. Pursuant to Section 15168(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, no new environmental
documentation is required for adoption of the amendments to the ESMC.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
I. Introduction
As part of the City's Strategic Planning work program for 2009 -2010, the City Council directed
Planning staff to oversee the preparation of the Public Facilities Impact Fee Study and to assist
the City's Police, Fire, Library and Parks Departments in making recommendations to Council
regarding new and updated public facilities impact fees.
The City retained the services of Wilidan Financial Services to prepare the Public Facilities
Impact Fee Study. The purpose of this comprehensive fee study is to determine the actual cost of
public facilities needed to serve new development and the maximum justified fee levels that can w
101
be imposed on new development to maintain the City's existing public facilities standard of
service.
City Staff is recommending that the City adopt public facilities impact fees that are lower than
the maximum justified fees identified in the Willdan study.
II. Background
The goal of development impact fees is for applicants proposing new development to pay their
fair share of the costs of providing public services and facilities. In December 2005, the City of
El Segundo adopted ESMC Chapter 15 -27A, "Development Impact Fees" when it updated its
traffic congestion mitigation fees. ESMC Chapter 15 -27A establishes the City's procedures for
imposing development impact fees on applicants seeking to construct development projects in
compliance with State law. The traffic congestion mitigation fee rates were based on the
recommendations in a traffic impact fee study prepared by MuniFinancial (now Willdan
Financial Services).
Currently, the City charges police, fire and library impact fees for development projects that
require discretionary planning entitlements. This policy does not impose fees on all new
development in the City, since many new construction projects are approved administratively
and do not require discretionary approval of the Planning Commission or City Council. As a
result, many new construction projects occurring in the City do not contribute any money toward
expanded public facilities to service new development.
The current impact fees were established in the mid- 1980's and have not been adjusted for
inflation. The amount collected from the City's current policy is inadequate to pay for public
facilities costs associated with new development. The current police, fire, and library fees are
$0.11, $0.14, and $0.03 per square foot respectively. A parks facility fee has never been
established or charged for new development in El Segundo. El Segundo is the only city in the
survey of local jurisdictions conducted by City Staff to not currently assess a parks development
impact fee (Exhibit 5).
The attached Public Facilities Impact Fee Study prepared by Willdan Financial Services (See
Exhibit 2) includes the following information: 1) The study explains the background for public
facilities financing in California in general and El Segundo in particular; 2) The study identifies
the demographic and construction activity assumptions used as a basis in developing the
proposed fees; 3) The study then develops a fee in each public facility category that would fund
the fair share cost to new development for police, fire, library and parks facilities, land and
equipment; 4) The study outlines how the City should implement the new fees, adjust the fees for
inflation, and identifies State of California reporting requirements; and 5) The study concludes
with making five statutorily required findings of the Mitigation Fee Act that are required adopt
the maximum justified public facilities fees contained in the study.
The proposed mitigation fees identified in the study would be used by each Department to fund
expanded facilities to serve new development in the City. Each fee is restricted to funding only
new facilities and equipment within the category the fee was collected for. All impact fees
collected must be deposited into a dedicated account and cannot be commingled with the City's
2
102
other funds. Each affected City Department provided a list of future facilities that could be
purchased or built with the revenue collected from the fee. The lists of potential future facilities
are included in the Willdan study. These facilities are representative of the types of facilities and
equipment that are anticipated to serve additional residents and employees. However, the
specific facilities can be changed during the planning period to accommodate the demands of
new development.
Additionally, impact fees are only collected on net new development. For example, if a single -
family home is demolished and a new single - family home is constructed on that same lot, no
impact fee is charged because there is a net gain of 0 residential units and no increase in
development impacts. Alternatively, if a lot is vacant and it has never been developed, the
impact fees would be charged when a new single - family home is constructed on the vacant lot.
III. Analysis
The Wildan Public Facilities Study is based on a 20 -year planning horizon. The City's
residential and worker populations, as well as future facilities needs are estimated for the year
2030. The study uses City permit history, Federal Census data, California Department of
Finance estimates and Southern California Association of Governments estimates to develop
growth projections for the year 2030. The projected residential growth is for 720 new residents
which will be housed in 60 new single - family homes and 290 new multi - family housing units. A
total of 5,840,000 square feet of new commercial, office, and industrial development is projected
to be added by 2030.
To determine the fair share of future planned public facilities for new residents and business the
study uses the System Plan method to calculate police, fire and library fees. This method is
useful to analyze police, fire and library services as each is part of a system that benefits both
existing and new development. The method calculated the impact fee based on: the value of
existing facilities plus the cost of planned facilities, divided by demand from existing plus new
development. The System Plan method ensures that new development does not pay for existing
service deficiencies. The System Plan calculations are located on the following pages of the
Willdan study: Police (pages 17 to 20), Library (pages 21 to 24) and Fire (pages 25 to 28).
The study uses the Existing Inventory method for parks. This method assumes that there are no
existing service deficiencies for parks. New development will fund the expansion of facilities at
the same standard that currently serves existing development. The existing inventory method is
calculated based on dividing the current value of existing facilities by the demand from current
development to come up with a dollar cost per unit of demand (per resident or worker). For the
Existing Inventory method fee calculation for Parks see pages 29 through page 36 in the Willdan
Study.
Table E.2 on page six of the Willdan study is a fee schedule summarizing the development
impact fees calculated using the above two methods. City Staff compared the Willdan fee
schedule against the development impact fees that neighboring jurisdictions currently impose on
new development projects. The jurisdictions included in the comparison are: Manhattan Beach,
Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Hawthorne, City of Los Angeles, Long Beach and
Culver City. The data gathered from this comparison survey is summarized in the attached
3
103
neighboring jurisdiction mitigation fee comparison table (Exhibit 3). At the completion of the
data gathering process it was clear to Staff that if the City were to impose the development
impact fee schedule in the Willdan study these fees would be highest among the comparison
cities.
The Willdan report states that the City may legally adopt any fee up to the amounts shown on
Table E.2 in the report. Willdan makes a further recommendation that if the City chooses to
adopt lower fees, then the City should consider reducing the fee for each land use by the same
percentage. In reviewing the fee methodology, a fairly high percentage of the justification is
based on the value of land used by existing facilities. If the land is removed from the
methodology, the potential fee levels are significantly lower. This reduction will keep the City's
development impact fees at a level more consistent with the fees charged by neighboring
jurisdictions.
Staff's recommendation for the fee reduction is based upon the assumption that the City is
relatively built -out and improvements to City services for future development will likely occur
through the purchase of new equipment and the addition and enhancement of facilities on land
the City already owns and not through the purchase of additional land. The recommended fees
further reduce the recommended impact fees for new single - family and two - family residences by
an additional 50%, to keep those fees in line with the average fees charged to single - family
development in the comparison jurisdictions. The table below summarizes the level of fees
recommended by City Staff for Police, Library, Fire, and Parks impact fees. The recommended
fees are substantially lower than the maximum justified fees identified in the Willdan study.
This approach is consistent with existing Planning and Building Safety fee policy that assesses a
lower fee for single - family home construction.

In order to provide a clear comparison of the above recommended development impact fees with
the impact fees charged by neighboring jurisdictions, City Staff developed fee comparison tables
for four development scenarios (Exhibit 4). The development scenarios are: 1) a new single
family residence; 2) a new 6 -unit, multi - family structure; 3) a new 10,000 square -foot
commercial building west of Sepulveda; and 4) a new 50,000 square -foot office building east of
Sepulveda. The development scenario comparison tables include the following information: 1)
El Segundo's current impact fees; 2) the "full cost" recovery fee recommended in the Willdan
study; 3) the "facilities only" impact fee recommended by City Staff; and 4) fees charged by
4
10
neighboring jurisdictions. Some jurisdictions charge impact fees for facilities that other
jurisdictions do not charge. Therefore, the list of impact fees included in the comparison table is
more comprehensive than the impact fees that the City is currently considering. The goal of the
fee comparison table is to show the overall cost of impact fees on new development and
therefore compare the total package of each jurisdiction's fees. This is why the "storm drain"
and "traffic mitigation" fees are included in the comparisons.
Below each development scenario comparison table (Exhibit 4) is a list ranking the total fees
charged by each jurisdiction. The fee ranking list includes the current El Segundo fees, the
recommended "facilities only" fees, the "full cost" recovery fees from the Willdan Public
Facilities Impact Fee Study, and the total fees charged by neighboring jurisdictions. The list
includes an average of all of the neighboring jurisdiction's fees. Staff also developed an
"adjusted average" to take into account that some neighboring jurisdictions have not yet adopted
impact fees or do not charge impact fees for certain categories of development. The "adjusted
average" is calculated by taking all the jurisdictions that do charge fees for the category of
development being evaluated then removing the jurisdictions with the highest and lowest fees
from the average calculation. It is clear from the ranking lists that the recommended "Facilities
Only" fees will result in a mitigation fee schedule with lower fees than most neighboring
jurisdictions that have adopted mitigation fees.
Staff has also developed a Parks Fee comparison (Exhibit 5). Staff complied the parks
information into one exhibit because parks fees is a public facility impact fee that all neighboring
jurisdictions currently charge. The City of El Segundo does not currently have a parks impact
fee. The staff recommended "Facilities Only" fee reduces the fee by approximately 80% to 90%
in comparison to the maximum justified fee in the Willdan study. The calculation of parks fee
involves a very large land component therefore the staff recommended method for reducing the
impact fee has a greater effect on the parks impact fee than to the recommended fire, police and
library impact fees. If the City were to adopt the "full cost" recovery fee identified in the
Willdan study the parks impact fee for single family residences would be more than double that
of the highest fee in any neighboring jurisdiction.
The Willdan study contains tables that estimate the total revenue for each fee anticipated over the
20 -year planning horizon of the study. In the table below, the Willdan fees are identified as the
"Full Cost" fees. Staff compiled the total anticipated revenue for the recommended fees and
identified this as the "Facilities Only" column in the table below. Staff also calculated an
estimate for the maximum revenue that could be collected under the City's current policy of
charging fire, police and library impact fees for projects that require planning entitlements. The
current policy is identified as "existing" in the table below. Please note that the "existing" fees
are the maximum revenue that could be obtained if every development project required a
planning entitlement. In practice, the revenue collected under current policy will be much lower
that the estimated $1.8 million. This is because a significant percentage of future development
would not require discretionary planning entitlements and therefore would not be subject to the
City's current impact fee policy.

20 -Year Projected Revenue for Police, Fire, Library, and Parks Impact Fees
Existing - Estimate of the maximum amount that could be collected if all new non - residential an mu i- ami y
projects involved discretionary planning entitlements and were subject to fees. This estimate will be more than the
actual amount collected. The calculation uses new construction assumptions in Willdan Fee Study Table 2.2: of
820,000 square feet of commercial development, 1,800,000 square feet of office development, and 3,220,000 square
feet of industrial development.
Full Cost - Based on total fees identified in the Willdan Financial Study.
Recommended (Facilities Only) — Removes the cost of land from all proposed fees. Fee reduced an additional 50%
for new single - family and two - family dwellings.
IV. Inter departmental Review/Planning and Building Advisory Group Comments
Interdepartmental Review
On August 25, 2010 Planning Staff met with Department Directors from Police, Parks, Fire and
Library. The department heads confirmed that they have completed their review of the Willdan
Study and the analysis and recommendations produced by the Planning Division. The Directors
agreed with the Planning Division's recommended method to adopt development impact fees
lower than those identified in the Willdan study and the fees as proposed.
Planning and Building Advisory Group
On September 14, 2010 Planning Staff presented the Public Facilities Impact Fee Study to the
Planning and Building Advisory Group. This group consists of representatives from major
business interests, architects and developers who work within the City. Staff presented the
methodology of the fee study and the methods used to develop the City staff recommendation.
Discussion followed the Staff presentation.
V. Environmental Review
In accordance with the Public Resources Code and the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines, the proposed resolution is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Statutory Exemption 15273 (Rates,
Tolls, Fares and Charges). CEQA does not apply to the establishment of the public facilities
mitigation fees as the fees are for the purpose of: a) purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or
materials; and b) obtaining funds for capital projects, necessary to maintain service within
existing service areas.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR
POLICE, FIRE, LIBRARY, AND PARKS FACILITIES IN ACCORDANCE
WITH TITLE 15 CHAPTER 27A OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL
CODE.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
A. New land development generates impacts on public services and public
facilities for which revenues generated through property taxes and other
means are generally insufficient to accommodate;
B. Objective LU7 -1 in the Land Use Element of the General Plan for the City
of El Segundo states that it is the City's objective to provide the highest
and most efficient level of public services and public infrastructure
financially possible;
C. Policy LU7 -1.2 in the Land Use Element of the General Plan for the City of
El Segundo states no new development is allowed unless adequate public
facilities are in place or otherwise provided;
D. It is the City's intent and desire to have developers pay for their fair share
of public costs associated with new development while at the same time
facilitating growth that is in the public interest;
E. The imposition of impact fees is one of the preferred methods of ensuring
that development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital
facilities necessary to accommodate such development. This must be
done in order to promote and protect the public health, safety and welfare;
F. The City Council may establish development impact fees for police, fire,
library and parks under the provisions of the State of California Mitigation
Fee Act (Government Code §§ 66000- 66025);
G. This Resolution is adopted pursuant to Title 15 Chapter 27A of the El
Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) for the purposes of calculating
development impact fees;
H. The fees established by this Resolution are derived from, are based upon,
and do not exceed the costs of providing capital facilities necessitated by
the new land developments for which the fees are levied;
-1-
108
The report entitled "Public Facilities Impact Fee Study" dated August 30,
2010, prepared by Willdan Financial Services, set forth a reasonable
methodology and analysis for the determination of the impact of new
development on the need for and costs for additional capital facilities
improvements in the City. The Fee Study is attached as Exhibit "A," and
incorporated by reference;
J. City Staff has evaluated the "Public Facilities Impact Fee Study," prepared
by Willdan Financial Services and has recommended a reduced fee
schedule identified in Section 3 of this Resolution;
K. Pursuant to Government Code § 66016, the City made data available
regarding the cost, or estimated cost, of providing services for the
proposed public facility impact fees ten (10) days before the public hearing
held on September 21, 2010;
L. On September 21, 2010 the City Council heard public testimony and
considered evidence in a public hearing held and noticed in accordance
with Government Code §§ 66016 and 66018;
M. After careful consideration, including a review of the documentary and
testimonial evidence submitted during the public hearing, the City Council
finds that the imposition of impact fees to finance major public facilities is
in the best interests of the general welfare of the City and its residents and
workers, is equitable, and does not impose an unfair burden on new
development;
N. At the recommendation of the City's Departments and the City Manager,
the City Council believes that it is in the public interest to establish the
recommended fees to recover the costs of police, fire, library, and parks
facilities; and
O. This Resolution relies on the documentary and testimonial evidence
submitted to the City during the public hearing held on September 21,
2010 in addition to such additional information that may be in the
administrative record.
SECTION 2: Calculation of Development Impact Fees.
A. The "Public Facilities Impact Fee Study" ( "Fee Study "), prepared by
Willldan Financial Services calculates fire, library, police and library fees
that would fund the fair share cost to new development for additional
capital facilities and equipment improvements;
-2- i0-0
B. The study is based on a 20 -year planning horizon. The City's residential
and worker populations as well as future facilities needs are estimated for
the year 2030;
C. The study determines a fair share of future planned public facilities using
the System Plan method to calculate police, fire and library fees. This
method is used for police, fire and library as each is part of a system that
benefits both existing and new development. Using the System Plan
method ensures that new development does not pay for existing service
deficiencies;
D. The study uses the Existing Inventory method to calculate the parks fee.
This method assumes no existing service deficiencies and sets a fee that
will fund the expansion of park facilities at the same standard that
currently serves existing development;
E. The level of development fees in the Fee Study is based on a reasonable
methodology to determine the impacts and costs of new development.
However, based on an evaluation of the development impact fees charged
in neighboring jurisdictions, City staff recommends a reduced level of fees
be adopted;
F. The City may adopt development impact fees up to the amounts legally
justified in the Fee Study. Staff recommends that the City reduce the fees
proposed in the Fee Study by removing the cost of land from the System
Plan and Existing Inventory method calculations. This will establish the
City's development impact fees at a level more consistent with the fees
charged by neighboring jurisdictions; and
G. Staff recommends that the impact fees for new single - family and two -
family residences be reduced by an additional 50% to keep the
development impact fee in line with the average fees charged to single -
family development in neighboring jurisdictions.

SECTION 4: Fee Adjustment. Unless otherwise revised, the fees established by this
Resolution will be automatically adjusted on an annual basis concurrently with the
adoption of the capital improvement plan (CIP) each fiscal year in September. The
method for annual inflation adjustment is established as set forth in Exhibit A, "Public
Facilities Impact Fee Study." The first fee adjustment cannot be made before a
minimum of ten (10) months after the effective date of this Resolution.
SECTION 5: Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act. In accordance
with the Public Resources Code (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA ") and
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. Title 14,
Code §§ 15000, et seq.), the proposed resolution is statutorily exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Statutory
Exemption 15273 (Rates, Tolls, Fares and Charges). CEQA does not apply to the
establishment of the public facilities mitigation fees as the fees are for the purpose of a)
purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials; and b) obtaining funds for
capital projects, necessary 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 6: Effective Date of this Resolution. This resolution will become effective
immediately upon adoption. The development impact fees that are established
pursuant to Section 3 of this Resolution and imposed upon development projects are
effective on the 60th day from the date this resolution is adopted.

Executive Summary
This report summarizes an analysis of the need for public facilities and capital improvements to
support future development within the City of El Segundo through 2030. It is the City's intent that
the costs representing future development's share of these facilities and improvements be
imposed on that development in the form of a development impact fee, also known as a public
facilities fee. The public facilities and improvements included in this analysis of the City's public
facilities fee program are divided into the fee categories listed below.
• Police
• Library
• Fire Protection
• Parks
Background and Study Objectives
The primary policy objective of a public facilities fee program is to ensure that new development
pays the capital costs associated with growth. The primary purpose of this report is to complete a
comprehensive fee study and determine the maximum justified public facilities fee levels to
impose on new development to maintain the City's facilities standard. The City should review and
update this report and the calculated fees once every five years to incorporate the best available
information.
The City imposes public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee- Act,
contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the
necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the public facilities fees presented in the
fee schedules contained herein.
Demographic Assumptions
To estimate facility needs, this study uses residential and household population data provided by
the City of El Segundo, the California Department of Finance (DOF), the U.S. Census, and the
Southern California Council of Governments' (SCAG) 2008 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).
Current year population estimates came from the DOF data. Population and residential dwelling
unit projections are based on growth rates derived from the City's building permit history.
Employment projections for 2030 came from the RTP data. Employment square footage was
derived using the RTP data and employment density factors from the Natelson Company
Employment Density Study Summary Report. The development projections used in this analysis
are summarized in Table E.1.

Permit records in the City of El Segundo show the development of 12 caretaker units during the
past 10 years. The SCAG RTP data did not include a projection for caretaker units, so
development projections in this land use category are based on the historical permit data from the
City. Caretaker units are assumed to continue to develop at the rate of 12 units every 10 years, or
approximately 1.2 units per year.
Employment projections for 2030 are based on the assumption that the proportion of employees
located in each land use category listed remains consistent with the base year.

City of El Segundo Public Facilities Impact Fee Study
Facility Standards and Costs of Growth
This fee analysis uses two different facilities standards to determine the costs to accommodate
growth. For the parks and recreation facility category, the City's existing facilities standard is used
to determine the costs to accommodate growth. Under this approach, new development funds the
expansion of facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. By definition
the existing inventory method results in no facility deficiencies attributable to existing
development. This method is often used when a long -range plan for new facilities is not available.
For the police, library and fire facility categories, the system plan facility standard is used. This
method is useful when planned facilities need to be analyzed as part of a system that benefits
both existing and new development. It is difficult, for example, to allocate a new fire station solely
to new development when that station will operate as part of an integrated system of fire stations
that together achieve the desired level of service.
The system plan method ensures that new development does not pay for existing deficiencies.
This method enables the calculation of the existing deficiency required to bring existing
development up to the policy -based standard. The City must secure non -fee funding for that
portion of planned facilities required to correct the deficiency to ensure that new development
receives the level of service funded by the impact fee.
Fee Schedule Summary
Table E.2 summarizes the schedule of maximum justified public facilities fees based on the
analysis contained in this report. The City may adopt any fee up to those shown in the table. If the
City adopts a lower fee then it should consider reducing the fee for each land use by the same
percentage. This approach would ensure that each new development project would fund the
same proportionate share of public facilities costs.

1. Introduction
This report presents an analysis of the need for public facilities to accommodate new
development in the City of El Segundo. This chapter explains the study approach and
summarizes results under the following sections:
• Background and study objectives;
• Public facilities financing in California;
• Public facilities planning and financing in El Segundo;
• Public facility standards; and,
• Organization of the report.
Background and Study objectives
The primary policy objective of a public facilities fee program is to ensure that new development
pays the capital costs associated with growth. The primary purpose of this report is to complete a
comprehensive fee study and determine the maximum justified public facilities fee levels to
impose on new development to maintain the City's facility standards. The City should review and
update this report, as well as the calculated fees, once every five years to incorporate the best
available information.
The City imposes public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act,
contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the
necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the public facilities fees presented in the
fee schedules contained herein.
Public Facilities Financing in California
The changing fiscal landscape in California during the past 30 years has steadily undercut the
financial capacity of local governments to fund infrastructure. Three dominant trends stand out:
• The passage of a string of tax limitation measures, starting with Proposition 13 in
1978 and continuing through the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996;
• Declining popular support for bond measures to finance infrastructure for the next
generation of residents and businesses; and
• Steep reductions in federal and state assistance.
Faced with these trends, many cities and counties have adopted a policy of "growth pays its own
way". This policy shifts the burden of funding infrastructure expansion from existing rate and
taxpayers onto new development. This funding shift has been accomplished primarily through the
imposition of assessments, special taxes, and development impact fees also known as public
facilities fees. Assessments and special taxes require approval of property owners and are
appropriate when the funded facilities are directly related to the developing property.
Development fees, on the other hand, are an appropriate funding source for facilities that benefit
all development jurisdiction -wide. Development fees need only a majority vote of the legislative
body for adoption.

Public Facilities Financing in El Segundo
The City of El Segundo has a number of existing infrastructure needs, as well as a potential need
to expand existing infrastructure to meet the demands of community growth. Existing funding
sources have not allowed for master planning at a level sufficient to develop either an exhaustive
list of infrastructure projects or a phasing or scheduling plan for such projects. However,
preliminary suggestions concerning facility needs are identified and described in the "Facility
Needs and Costs" section of each chapter.
There are known infrastructure issues that will best be addressed through master planning
efforts. A suggested use of fee revenues would be to fund master planning to more specifically
identify capital facilities necessary to serve new development. Fee revenues can fund that portion
of master plan costs associated with facilities to serve growth. Upon completion of the master
planning effort and the identification of capital facilities needed to accommodate growth, the City
should update its public facilities fee program to include these new projects and any financing
costs that may be required to construct facilities when needed.
Through the process of preparing master plans, the City may choose to submit planned facilities
for consideration of impact fee revenue apportionment. The City of El Segundo has provided a
preliminary list of planned facilities, which are accordingly documented in this fee update. New
development will pay a fee based on the value of existing and planned facilities through the
development horizon. However, new development cannot be required to pay for future projects
designed to correct deficiencies in existing facilities. The City will have to secure non -fee funding
for that portion of planned facilities required to correct any deficiency in existing facilities.
By their nature, public facilities fee programs are constrained by rates of growth and the timing of
revenue collection. Since public facilities fees represent a pay -as- you -go system, cities may
confront the problem of only being able to partially fund large projects with fee revenues at the
time of project implementation. Therefore, facility needs may require alternative financing options
in order to implement projects in a timelier manner. The cost of financing (e.g. interest payments)
can legitimately be included in the public facilities fee. By using fee revenues to fund a master
planning effort and updating the fee to reflect the identified projects and possible financing costs,
the City will maximize its ability to maintain its facilities standard and fund the capital facilities
necessary to serve new development.
Finally, all fee - funded capital projects should be programmed through the City's Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). Using a CIP can help the City of El Segundo identify and direct its fee
revenue to public facilities projects that will accommodate future growth. By programming fee
revenues to specific capital projects, the City of El Segundo identifies the use for fee revenues as
expressly required by the Mitigation Fee Act.
Public Facility Standards
The key public policy issue in public facility fee studies is the identification of facility standards for
each category of facilities in a fee program. A facility standard is a public policy that states the
amount of facilities required per unit of new development to accommodate the increased service
LLDAN
CW SWVZOS

demand. Examples of facility standards include park acres per capita and wastewater generation
per equivalent dwelling unit. Standards also may be expressed in monetary terms such as the
total cost of facility investments per capita.
The facility standard assists in documenting statutory findings required for adoption of a public
facilities fee. First, the standard documents a reasonable relationship between the type of new
development and the total need for new facilities. Where applicable, the same facility standard is
applied to both existing and new development to ensure that new development does not fund
deficiencies associated with existing development. Second, the facility standard is often used to
allocate facility costs to each development project, documenting a reasonable relationship
between the amount of the fee and the cost of facilities allocated to each development project.
Types of facility standards and their application in specific situations are discussed below. This
section concludes with a description of how facility standards are used in the current study.
Types of Facility Standards
There are three separate components of facility standards:
• Demand standards determine the amount of facilities required to accommodate
growth, for example, park acres per thousand residents, square feet of library space
per capita, or gallons of water per day. Demand standards may also reflect a level of
service such as the vehicles -to- capacity (V /C) ratio used in traffic planning.
• Design standards determine how a facility should be designed to meet expected
demand, for example, park improvement requirements and technology infrastructure
for city office space. Design standards are typically not explicitly evaluated as part of
an impact fee analysis but can have a significant impact on the cost of facilities. Our
approach incorporates current facility design standards into the fee program to reflect
the increasing construction cost of public facilities.
• Cost standards are an alternate method for determining the amount of facilities
required to accommodate growth based on facility costs per unit of demand. Cost
standards are useful when demand standards were not explicitly developed for the
facility planning process. Cost standards also enable different types of facilities to be
analyzed based on a single measure (cost or value), useful when disparate facilities
are funded by a single fee program. Examples include facility costs per capita, per
vehicle trip, or cost per gallon of water per day.
New Development Facility Needs and Costs
A number of approaches are used to identify facility needs and costs to serve new development.
Often there is a two step process: (1) identify total facility needs, and (2) allocate to new
development its fair share of those needs.
There are three common methods for determining new development's fair share of planned
facilities costs: the existing inventory method, the system plan method, and the planned facilities
method. Often the method selected depends on the degree to which the community has engaged
in comprehensive facility master planning to identify facility needs.
The formula used by each approach and the advantages and disadvantages of each method is
summarized below:

City of EI Segundo Public Facilities Impact Fee Study
Existing Inventory Method
The existing inventory method allocates costs based on the ratio of existing facilities to demand
from existing development as follows:
Current Value of Existing Facilities
_ $ I unit of demand
Existing Development Demand
Under this method new development funds the expansion of facilities at the same standard
currently serving existing development. By definition the existing inventory method results in no
facility deficiencies attributable to existing development. This method is often used when a long -
range plan for new facilities is not available. Only the initial facilities to be funded with fees are
identified in the fee study. Future facilities to serve growth are identified through an annual capital
improvement plan and budget process, possibly after completion of a new facility master plan.
This method is used only in the parks and recreation facility category of this report.
Planned Facilities Method
The planned facilities method allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facility costs to
demand from new development as follows:
Cost of Planned Facilities
New Development Demand
= $ I unit of demand
This method is appropriate when specific planned facilities can be identified that only benefit new
development. Examples include street improvements to avoid deficient levels of service or a
sewer trunk line extension to a previously undeveloped area. This method is also appropriate
when planned facilities would not serve existing development, or if planned facilities represent a
level of service that is lower than the current level of service. Under this method new
development funds the expansion of facilities at the standards identified by facility planners. This
method is not used to calculate any fees in this report.
System Plan Method
This method calculates the fee based on: the value of existing facilities plus the cost of planned
facilities, divided by demand from existing plus new development:
Value of Existing Facilities + Cost of Planned Facilities
_ $ /unit of demand
Existing + New Development Demand
This method is useful when planned facilities need to be analyzed as part of a system that
benefits both existing and new development. It is difficult, for example, to allocate a new fire
station solely to new development when that station will operate as part of an integrated system
of fire stations that together achieve the desired level of service. Police substations, civic centers,
and regional parks provide examples of similar facilities.
The system plan method ensures that new development does not pay for existing deficiencies.
Often facility standards based on policies such as those found in General Plans are higher than
existing facility standards. This method enables the calculation of the existing deficiency required
(WILLDAN
Financial seas
City of El Segundo Public Facilities Impact Fee Study
to bring existing development up to the policy -based standard. The local agency must secure
non -fee funding for that portion of planned facilities required to correct the deficiency to ensure
that new development receives the level of service funded by the impact fee. This method is used
to calculate the police library and fire facilities fees in this report.

2. Demographic Assumptions
Estimates of existing development and new development growth projections are used to assist in
determining the appropriate fee structure. The base year used in this study is 2009, and the
planning horizon is 2030.
Use of Growth Forecasts for Impact Fees
Estimates of the existing service population and forecasts of growth are critical assumptions used
throughout this report. These estimates are used as follows:
• Estimates of existing development in 2009 are used to determine the existing facility
standards in the City.
• Estimates of total development at the 2030 planning horizon are used:
— To determine the total amount of public facilities required to accommodate
growth based on the existing facility standards (see Chapter 1), and
— To estimate total fee revenues.
To measure existing service population and future growth, residential and worker population data
are used for all facility categories with the exception of library facilities, which only use population
data. These measures are used because the amount of residents and workers is a reasonable
indicator of the level of demand for public facilities. The City builds public facilities primarily to
serve these populations and, typically, the greater the population the larger the facility required to
provide a given level of service.
Service Population
Different types of new development use public facilities at different rates in relation to each other,
depending on the services provided. For all fee categories in this study a specific service
population is identified to reflect total demand. The service population weights residential land
use types against nonresidential land uses based on the relative demand for services between
residents and workers.
Land Use Types
To ensure a reasonable relationship between each fee and the type of development paying the
fee, growth projections distinguish between different land use classifications. The land use types
used in this analysis are defined below per the City of El Segundo Municipal Code.
• Single - Family, Two - Family: A single family dwelling unit is a detached dwelling unit
with only one kitchen, designed for occupancy by one family. A two- family dwelling
unit is a building designed to be occupied by two (2) families living independently, the
structure having only two units. For the purpose of assessing impact fees, single -
family and two - family units have been grouped into a single category because the
probable occupant density of these types of units is the same, as confirmed by the
City's Planning Division.
• Multi - Family: A building or portion thereof designed for occupancy by three (3) or
more families living independently in which they may or may not share common
entrances and /or other spaces. Individual dwelling units may be owned as
vWILLDAN i z
_.,.A Financial Services
City of El Segundo Public Facilities Impact Fee Study
condominiums, or offered for rent. For the purposes of assessing impact fees, senior
housing facilities are also considered multi - family units.
• Caretaker: A dwelling unit in the Smoky Hollow specific plan area used for a
caretaker of the property on which it is located and limited to five hundred (500)
square feet in area.
• Commercial: All commercial, retail, educational, and hotel /motel development.
• Office: All general, professional, and medical office development.
• Industrial: All manufacturing and warehouse development.
Some developments may include more than one land use type, such as an industrial warehouse
with living quarters (a live -work designation) or a planned unit development with both single and
multi - family uses. In these cases the public facilities fee would be calculated separately for each
land use type.
The City should have the discretion to impose the public facilities fee based on the specific
aspects of a proposed development regardless of the zoning designation where the project will be
located. Should the project be located in an area that is not zoned as any of the above stated
land use types, the guideline to use is the probable occupant density of the development, either
residents per dwelling unit or workers per building square foot, to determine which fee will be
charged. The fee imposed should be based on the land use type that most closely represents the
probable occupant density of the development.
Occupant Densities
Occupant densities ensure a reasonable relationship between the increase in service population
and amount of the fee. To do this, they must vary by the estimated service population generated
by a particular development project. Developers pay the fee based on the number of additional
housing units or building square footage of nonresidential development, so the fee schedule must
convert service population estimates to these measures of project size. This conversion is done
with average occupant density factors by land use type, shown in Table 2.1.
The residential occupant density factors are derived from the 2000 U.S. Census Bureau's Tables
H -31 through H -33. Table H -31 provides vacant housing units data, while Table H -32 provides
information relating to occupied housing. Table H -33 documents the total 2000 population
residing in occupied housing. The US Census numbers are adjusted by using the California
Department of Finance (DOF) estimates for January 1, 2009, and the most recent State of
California data available at the time the research for this report was completed. The occupant
density factor for caretaker units was provided by the City of El Segundo.
The nonresidential density factors are based on Employment Density Study Summary Report,
prepared for the Southern California Association of Governments, October 2001 by The Natelson
Company. The factors used here were derived from the Los Angeles County data set. The
industrial density factor represents an average for light industrial, heavy industrial, and
warehouse uses likely to occur in the City.
Facility demand is estimated based on service population increases. Developers pay the public
facilities fee based on the number of additional housing units or building square footage of

Demographic Assumptions for City of El Segundo
Table 2.2 summarizes the demographic assumptions used in this analysis. The base year for this
study is the year 2009. The existing facilities in 2009 will constitute the existing facilities standard
in our study.
The base year residential estimate is calculated using the density factor from Table 2.1, multiplied
by the dwelling units identified in the California Department of Finance (DOF) January 1, 2009
estimates. Population projections are based on historical building permit data provided by the
City. Employment projections for 2030 were derived from the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) data. Employment square footage
was derived using the RTP data and the employment density factors displayed in Table 2.1. The
development projections used in this analysis are summarized in Table 2.2.

Permit records in the City of El Segundo show the development of 12 caretaker units during the
past 10 years. Development projections in this land use category are based on the assumption
that caretaker dwelling units will continue to develop at the rate of 12 units every 10 years, or
approximately 1.2 units per year.
Employment projections for 2030 are based on the assumption that the proportion of employees
located in each land use category listed remains constant relative to the base year.

3. Police Facilities
The purpose of the fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of police facilities.
The City will use fee revenues to expand general facilities to accommodate new development.
Police facilities include, but are not limited to: buildings, vehicles, and capital equipment items. A
fee schedule is presented based on the cost of these facilities to ensure that new development
provides adequate funding to meet its needs.
Service Population
Police facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for both services and
associated facilities is based on the City's service population, including residents and workers.
Table 3.1 shows the estimated service population in 2009 and 2030. In calculating the service
population, workers are weighted less than residents to reflect a lower per capita service demand.
Nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less intensively than dwelling units, so it is
reasonable to assume that average per - worker demand for services is less than average per -
resident demand. The 0.31 - weighting factor for workers is based on a ratio of 40 hours at work to
the remaining 128 hours spent outside of work.

Facility Standards and Planned Facilities
Police facilities in El Segundo include land, buildings and equipment. Table 3.2 shows that the
City currently owns 2.44 acres of land, which serves as the site of the Civic Center Police Station.
This facility consists of approximately 33,000 square feet of building space. The Police

of the types of land that the City would purchase in the future.
Table 3.3 presents the list of police facility improvements planned for the City of El Segundo, as
identified by the City of El Segundo Police Department. Expected police capital infrastructure
projects include: adding a new gymnasium to the existing station, the construction of a parking
structure for the Police and Fire Departments, and numerous additions to the fleet. Together,
planned police facility costs amount to approximately $10.2 million.

Planned police facilities are likely to serve both existing residents and new development. As a
result, this study uses the system plan approach to calculating new development's fair share of
planned facility costs. This is done by taking the total value of existing and planned facilities in
2030 and dividing it by the total 2030 service population to obtain a facility standard per capita.
This calculation appears in Table 3.4.

Table 3.5 shows the estimated fee revenue generated by the police facilities fee. This fee is
projected to generate approximately $3 million in revenue by 2030. Projected fee revenue falls
short of the total cost of planned police facilities in the City of El Segundo. The remaining $7.2
million in planned facility costs must be funded by non - impact fee sources.

Table 3.6 shows the police facilities fee schedule, which is based on the assumption that El
Segundo will be charging new development no more than its fair share of planned facility costs.
The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit and
building space densities (persons per dwelling unit (DU) for residential development and workers
per 1,000 square feet of building space for nonresidential development). The total fee includes an
administrative charge to fund costs that include impact fee related administrative costs, such as:
revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting, mandated public reporting, and fee justification
analyses.

This chapter provides the documentation to enable the City impose a public facilities fee to fund
library facilities. The City would use fee revenues to help fund expanded library facilities to serve
new development.

Residents are the primary users of libraries in the City of El Segundo. Therefore, demand for
libraries and associated facilities are based on the City's residential population, rather than a
combined resident - worker service population. Estimates of the existing service population and
projected growth are shown in Table 4.1.

The City Library is located at Library Park. This land is listed in the parkland inventory in Chapter
6, so the value of that land is not included in this chapter, to avoid double counting. The City of El
Segundo currently owns nearly $7 million worth of building and annex facilities. Library collections
are also an important component of a library system's facilities and are a significant investment.
Collections include books, online databases, audio - visual materials, periodical subscriptions, and
other documents. The City owns approximately $6.9 million dollars worth of collections, as shown
in Table 4.2. Itemized costs for existing library collections and equipment are shown in Appendix
Tables AA and A.5, respectively.

These improvements are likely to benefit both members of the existing service population and
new development, since both groups will be using the existing and new facilities. Accordingly, this
study uses the system plan approach to calculate new development's fair share of new library
facilities. This is done by dividing the total value of existing and planned facilities in 2030 by the
total 2030 service population to calculate a standard per resident. This calculation appears in

population produces an estimated $626,000 in revenue. It is important to note that this revenue
estimate falls short of the City's $1.2 million in planned facilities. As a result, approximately
$607,000 worth of library facilities will have to be funded by non - impact fee sources, or new
development will have paid too high a fee.

5. Fire Protection Facilities
The purpose of this development impact fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair
share of fire protection facilities. A fee schedule is presented based on the facilities needed to
ensure that new development fund its fair share of the City's facility needs.
Service Population
Fire protection facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and
associated facilities are based on the City's service population including residents and workers.
Table 5.1 shows the estimated service population for 2009 and 2030. In calculating the service
population, residents are given a weight of 1.0 and workers are weighted at 0.69 to reflect lower
per capita service usage. Nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less intensively than
dwelling units, so it is reasonable to assume that average per- worker usage of services is less
than average per- resident usage.

The 0.69 per- worker weighting used here is derived from a study carried out in the City of
Phoenix. This study is one of the best sources of this data currently available. Data from that
study was used to calculate a per capita factor that is independent of land use patterns. Relative
demand for fire service between residents and workers does not vary substantially on a per
capita basis across communities, ensuring that this data can be used for all of the communities
which must document a public facilities fee for fire stations.

These improvements are likely to benefit both members of the existing service population and
new development, since both groups will be placing calls to the expanded station. Accordingly,
this study uses the system plan approach to calculate new development's fair share of new fire
facilities. This is done by dividing the total value of existing and planned facilities in 2030 by the
total 2030 service population to calculate a standard per resident and per worker. This calculation
appears in Table 5.4.

Table 5.5 shows the total revenue that the fire facilities fee is expected to generate through the
2030 planning horizon. Multiplying the per capita facility standard by the growth in service
population produces an estimated $2.7 million in revenue. It is important to note that this revenue
estimate falls short of the City's $3 million in planned facilities. As a result, approximately
$374,000 worth of fire protection facilities will have to be funded by non - impact fee sources, or
new development will have paid too high a fee.

6. Park and Recreation Facilities
The purpose of the fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of park facilities.
The City will use fee revenues to expand park facilities to serve new development. This analysis
documents fees based on the guidelines set forth in the Mitigation Fee Act.
Facility standards for parks are typically expressed as a ratio of park facilities per 1,000 residents.
Recognizing that park facilities within the City are used by workers as well as residents, the City
of El Segundo conducted a survey to determine the level of park facility use by nonresidents, and
found that workers in the City used City parks at approximately 17 percent of the rate of resident
use. The survey was conducted by asking users of the Campus El Segundo Fields and
Recreation Park facilities whether they worked in the City, lived in the City or both on both. The
survey was repeated for weekdays and weekends; levels of park use were weighted accordingly.
Accordingly demand for parks and associated facilities are based on the City's combined
resident - worker service population. A detailed summary of the survey can be found in Appendix
B.
Table 6.1 provides estimates of the resident and worker population with a projection for the year
2030.

Park Facility Standards
Park facility standards establish a reasonable relationship between new development and the
need for expanded park facilities. Information regarding the City's existing inventory of existing
parks facilities was obtained from City staff.
The most common measure used to calculate new development's demand for parks is the ratio of
park acres per resident. In general, facility standards may be based on the Mitigation Fee Act
(using a city's existing inventory of park facilities), or an adopted policy standard contained in a
master facility plan or general plan.
Mitigation Fee Act
The Mitigation Fee Act does not dictate use of a particular type or level of facility standard for
public facilities fees. To comply with the findings required under the law, facility standards must
not burden new development with any cost associated with facility deficiencies attributable to
existing development.' A simple and clearly defensible approach to calculating a facility standard
is to use the city's existing ratio of park acreage per 1,000 residents. Under this approach, new
development is required to fund new park facilities at the same level as existing residents have
provided those same types of facilities to date.
Unit Costs for Land Acquisition and Improvements
Unit costs represent the land costs and level of improvements that existing development has
provided to date. Using unit costs to determine a facility standard ensures that the cost of facilities
to serve new development is not artificially increased, and that new development is not unfairly
burdened relative to existing development.
The unit costs used to estimate the total investment in parkland facilities are shown in Table 6.5.
All costs are expressed in 2009 dollars. Land acquisition costs and improvement costs are based
on the City's experience with park development and information from a recent market analysis of
land values in El Segundo.
See the benefit and burden findings in Chapter 8, Mitigation Fee Act Findings.

Total Needs and Costs
The total investment in park facilities needed to serve growth is calculated by multiplying the
facility standards developed in Table 6.5 by growth in residents. The total value of the needs for
park facilities is based on the average unit costs for land acquisition and improvements shown in
Table 6.5. To accommodate the increase in service population through 2030 at the existing
standard, new development would need to fund facilities estimated to cost approximately $14.1
million as shown in Table 6.6.

The $14.1 million in facility improvements must be used to enhance, upgrade, or expand new
park facilities. Intensifying development of existing parks is another reasonable method for
accommodating growth that could be used in conjunction with the expansion of improved park
acreage. The use of fee revenues would be identified through planned parkland acquisition and
improvement projects described in the most recently adopted version of annual capital
improvement budget.
The City anticipates that the park fees would be the primary revenue source to fund new
development's investment in park facilities. Expected parks capital infrastructure projects include
the development of new and improved parkland facilities and the construction of a new aquatics
center. Table 6.7 shows the share of costs that could be allocated on a per capita basis for both

7. Implementation
Impact Fee Program Adoption Process
Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in the California Government Code section
66016. Adoption of an impact fee program requires the City Council to follow certain procedures
including holding a public meeting. Data, such as an impact fee report, must be made available at
least 10 days prior to the public meeting. The City's legal counsel should be consulted for any
other procedural requirements as well as advice regarding adoption of an enabling ordinance
and /or a resolution. After adoption there is a mandatory 60 -day waiting period before the fees go
into effect.
Inflation Adjustment
The City has kept its impact fee program up to date by periodically adjusting the fees for inflation.
Such adjustments should be completed regularly to ensure that new development will fully fund
its share of needed facilities. To maintain consistency with other City documents, we recommend
that the fees be adjusted for inflation annually, concurrent with the time frame when City staff
presents the preliminary CIP to the City Council.
There are no inflation indices that are specific to City of El Segundo. We recommend that the
following indices be used for adjusting fees for inflation:
• Buildings, Improvements — Engineering News Record's Building Cost Index (BCI) —
Los Angeles, CA
• Equipment — Consumer Price Index, All Items, 1982 -84 =100 for All Urban
Consumers (CPI -U) — for the West Urban Region, Size B/C
Due to the highly variable nature of land costs, there is no particular index that captures
fluctuations in land values. We recommend that the City adjust land values based on a periodic
appraisal of the type of land comparable to the City's existing inventory.
While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for periodic updates to ensure that fee
revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, the City will also need to conduct
more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when
significant new data on growth forecasts and /or facility plans become available. Note that
decreases in index value will result in decreases to fee amounts.
The steps necessary to update fees for inflation are explained below:
For all of the fee categories except the park facilities fees, the steps are as follows:
1. For each facility type (land, buildings, equipment), identify the percent change in
facility value since the last update, based on changes in each inflation index or for
each type of land.
2. Modify the value of each facility, existing and planned (if applicable) by the percent
change identified in Step 1.
3. Depending on fee methodology for each particular fee category calculate the total
value of existing facilities (existing inventory method), the value of existing facilities
WILLDAN I
k Finmdw $...

City of El Segundo Public Facilities Impact Fee Study
plus planned facilities (system plan method), or the value of planned facilities
(planned facilities method) using the updated figures from Step 2.
4. Recalculate the cost per capita for each fee category by dividing the results of Step 3
by either the existing service population if the fee is calculated using the existing
inventory method, by the future service population if the fee is calculated using the
system plan method, or by the growth in service population if the fee is calculated
using the planned facilities method. Both the existing and future service populations
are identified in the first table of every chapter in this report.
5. Calculate the cost per worker (if applicable) for fee categories that are charged to
nonresidential development. The cost per worker is equal to the cost per capita
calculated in Step 4 multiplied by 0.31 for police, by 0.69 for fire and by 0.17 for
parks.
6. Update the fee schedule by multiplying the cost per capita and the cost per worker
calculated in Step 5 by the density factors listed in Table 2.1 to determine the base
fee for each land use.
To update the park facility fees for inflation, the steps are as follows:
1. For each facility type (land, improvements), identify the percent change in facility
value since the last update, based on changes in each inflation index or for each type
of land.
2. Modify the value of land acquisition and improvements shown in Table 6.6 by the
percent change identified in Step 1.
3. Using Table 6.6 as a guide, recalculate the cost per resident and cost per worker
using the adjusted values for land acquisition and improvements calculated in Step 2.
4. Update the fee schedule by multiplying the costs per capita calculated in Step 3 by
the density factors listed in Table 2.1 to determine the base fee for each land use.
The total fee for a given land use is equal to the cost per capita for land (from step
three) multiplied by the occupant density, added to the cost per capita for
improvements (also from step three) multiplied by the occupant density. See Table
6.8 for reference.
Once all of the fees have been inflated, multiply the sum of all the fees, per land use, by two
percent (2 %) to determine the administrative charge. Future updates to the fee program should
review the administrative fee to ensure that it fully covers the cost of administering the fee
program.
Reporting Requirements
The City complies with the annual and five -year reporting requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act
found in Government Code Sections 66001 and 66006. For facilities to be funded by a
combination of public fees and other revenues, identification of the source and amount of these
non -fee revenues is essential. Identification of the timing of receipt of other revenues to fund the
facilities is also important.
Programming Revenues and Projects with the CIP
The City maintains a ten -year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) to plan for future
infrastructure needs. The CIP identifies costs and phasing for specific capital projects. The use of
the CIP in this manner documents a reasonable relationship between new development and the
use of those revenues.

The City may decide to alter the scope of the planned projects or to substitute new projects as
long as those new projects continue to represent an expansion of the City's facilities. If the total
cost of facilities varies from the total cost used as a basis for the fees, the City should consider
revising the fees accordingly.

City of 8 Segundo Public Facilities Impact Fee Study
a reasonable relationship can be shown between the use of fee revenue and the new
development residential and non - residential use classifications that will pay the fees.
Burden Relationship
• Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and
the types of development on which the fees are imposed ( §66001(a)(4) of the Act).
Facilities need is based on a facility standard that represents the demand generated by new
development for those facilities. Facilities demand is determined as follows:
• The service population is established based upon the number of residents and
workers, which correlates to the demand for police facilities, fire protection facilities,
and parks and recreation facilities; and,
• The service population for library facilities is established solely on the number of
residents, as worker demand on these facilities is nominal.
For each facility category, demand is measured by a single facility standard that can be applied
across land use types to ensure a reasonable relationship to the type of development. For most
facility categories service population standards are calculated based upon the number of
residents associated with residential development and the number of workers associated with
non - residential development. To calculate a single, per capita standard, one worker is weighted
less than one resident based on an analysis of the relative use demand between residential and
non - residential development.
The standards used to identify growth needs are also used to determine if planned facilities will
partially serve the existing service population by correcting existing deficiencies. This approach
ensures that new development will only be responsible for its fair share of planned facilities, and
that the fees will not unfairly burden new development with the cost of facilities associated with
serving the existing service population.
Chapter 2, Demographic Assumptions provides a description of how service population and
growth forecasts are calculated. Facility standards are described in the Facility Standards
sections of each facility category chapter.
Proportionality
• Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees amount and the
cost of the facilities or portion of the facilities attributable to the development on which
the fee is imposed ( §66001(b) of the Act).
The reasonable relationship between each facilities fee for a specific new development project
and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project is based on the estimated new
development growth the project will accommodate. Fees for a specific project are based on the
project's size. Larger new development projects can result in a higher service population resulting
in higher fee revenue than smaller projects in the same land use classification. Thus, the fees
ensure a reasonable relationship between a specific new development project and the cost of the
facilities attributable to that project.

Appendix B: Worker Demand Survey for
Parks
The worker demand weighting for parks and recreation facilities were developed during various
user intercept surveys carried out by staff at the City of El Segundo in March 2010. The following
appendix describes the methodology used to arrive at the worker demand weighting factors.
Park Survey
The parks intercept survey was administered to all willing park -goers at Campus El Segundo
Fields and Recreation Park on Tuesday, March 16th, Wednesday, March 17th, and Sunday,
March 21st. On the two weekdays, the survey was administered during the interval from 11:45AM
to 1:15PM and then the interval from 6:OOPM to 7:OOPM. On Sunday, the survey was
administered from 9:15AM- 10:15AM, from 12:15PM- 1:15PM and from 6:30PM to 7:30PM. The
parks surveyed are listed in the table below. Park users were asked if they came to the park that
day because of proximity to work, home, both or neither.
The staff at the City of El Segundo initially tabulated the results of the survey. The results of the
weekday surveys (Tuesday, March 16th and Wednesday, March 17th) need to be multiplied by
five to weight the results to represent the five weekdays. Results from the weekend survey
(Sunday, March 21st) need to be multiplied by two in order to represent total visits for both
weekend days.
Willdan Financial Services constructed weights by considering worker and resident responses
alone. Respondents suggesting that they were at the parks for both or neither reasons were not
included in the total. The resulting estimate of total proximity to work responses were then divided
by the current estimate of employees working within the City of El Segundo to derive park visits
per employee. Park visits per resident were estimated by dividing the responses by the current
resident population. The resulting weighting factor for worker park use based on survey results is
estimated at 0.17.
The tabulation of survey results appears in Table B.1 below.

Summary of Assumptions used to prepare FY 2010 -2011 Budget:
1,500,000 -
1
• Existing Memorandum of Understanding with Police Management Association, Police
Officers Association, Firefighters' Association and Supervisory & Professional
Employees Association which is 50% of the full -time workforce. Required salary
increases ranging from 2% to 5% depending on bargaining group total $688,000.
• No raises have been included for the remaining employee groups, which include the
74
Management /Confidential Group, City Employees' Association and Police Support
Services Employees' Association.
• Continued Vacancies — Currently, the City is operating with approximately 10% fewer
employees for savings of approximately $3,000,000.
• Employee Concessions — Effective August 1, 2010, employee concessions of 5% have
been incorporated into the budget. These concessions are estimated at $1,500,000.
• An increase in Workers' Compensation charges of $105,000 over the prior year
• Health Benefits — Average 11 % increase or $481,000
• Annual Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) payment — Funded at 100 %;
$2,000,000 for FY 2010 -2011
• El Segundo Unified School District funding - $250,000 cash payment and continue
funding crossing guard contract ($80,000) and in -kind contributions ($617,500 estimated
for FY 2010 -2011)
• Capital Funding - $150,000
• City -wide new technology projects — No funding
• No increase in PERS pension rates for the first 9 months of FY 2010 -2011.
• The Fiscal Year 2009/10 budget included a zero - growth assumption for non - personnel
costs. In other words, there were no increases in any non - personnel expenditure accounts
for inflation/growth. Departments have further reduced their budgeted FY 2010 -2011
non - personnel expenditures by an additional $900,000. The major categorical reductions
are as follows:
• Supplies — Total decrease of $129,675 or 13.3% compared to the prior year
adopted budget;
• Contractual Services — Total decrease of $250,800 or 12.8% compared to the prior
year adopted budget
• Professional & Technical Services — Total decrease of $944,654 or 46%
compared to the prior year adopted budget. The prior year budget included
$520,000 for the general plan update, which has been postponed.
• Meetings & Travel — Total decrease of $41,527 or 30% compared to the prior
year adopted budget
• Training & Education — Total decrease of $54,125 or 24.7% compared to the prior

• Dues and Subscriptions — Total decrease of $17,451 or 19.5% compared to the

• The Fire Department's overtime has decreased approximately $450,000 from the prior
year's budget. This is in addition to the $661,000 in overtime reductions taken in FY
2009 -2010, which amounts to over $1.1 million in overtime reductions over the last two
years. The reduction in overtime is achievable by not backfilling most absences.
On September 7, 2010 the City Council conducted a Public Hearing on the FY 2010 -2011
Operating Budget and the Five -Year Capital Improvement Project Budget.
Revisions from the Preliminary Budget are attached to this report and have been included in the

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
As part of the March 19, 2009 Strategic Planning Session, staff presented Council with a number of
potential budget reduction options, among them, Early Retirement Incentives. An Early Retirement
Incentive Program was offered to local miscellaneous employees between October 5, 2009 and
January 15, 2010. This Agenda Item requests Council approval of an Early Retirement Incentive
Program for local safety members. Since this item was last presented to Council at its meeting on
May 18, 2010, a change was made to the list of eligible classes. Staff recommends offering this
Program to one classification within the Fire Safety Group, specifically the classification of Deputy
Fire Chief. This Program would provide the eligible employee: 1) Two Years of additional PERS
Service Credit; and 2) a payment of $1,000 if the employee enters into a Date - Certain Retirement
Separation Agreement, in order that the resulting salary savings can be expeditiously factored into
the Fiscal Year 2010 -2011 Budget.
Section 20903 (Two Years Additional Service Credit)
Staff initiated the contract amendment process on February 10, 2010 by requesting that Ca1PERS
provide the City with the documents required to add Section 20903 to the contract between the City
Council and the Ca1PERS Board of Administration.
Eligibility to receive the two years of Additional Service Credit requires the following:
• The employee is a local safety member of Ca1PERS
• The employee will have reached age 50 and have at least five years of Ca1PERS Service at the
time of their retirement during the retirement period designated by the City.
• Department heads, local police members, and fire classes other than Deputy Fire Chief are not
eligible to receive the two years of additional service credit.
The employee benefits because the additional two years of service credit adds value to his/her
retirement annuity.
The employer benefits because the City achieves cost savings through resulting position vacancies,
opportunity for workforce restructuring and /or lower compensated new employees filling certain
designated vacant positions.
CalPERS requires, in accordance with Government Code Section 20903 and the contract between
Ca1PERS and the City, that the City Council certify that:
Because of an impending curtailment of, or change in the manner of performing service, the
best interests of the agency will be served by granting such additional service credit.
2. The added cost to the retirement fund for all eligible employees who retire during the
designated window period will be included in the contracting agency's employer
contribution rate for the fiscal year that begins two years after the end of the designated
period.
It has elected to become subject to Section 20903 because of impending mandatory
transfers, demotions, and layoffs that constitute at least one percent of the job classification,
department or organizational unit, as designated by the governing body, resulting from the
curtailment of, or change in the manner of performing its services.
4. Its intention at the time Section 20903 becomes operative is to keep all vacancies created by
retirements under this section or at least one vacancy in any position in any department or
other organizational unit permanently unfilled, thereby resulting in an overall reduction in
the workforce of such department or organizational unit.
Government Code Section 7507 requires that the future annual costs of the proposed contract
amendment be made public at a public meeting at least two weeks prior to the Second Reading and
adoption of the required Ordinance. Future annual costs were made public at the City Council
meeting on May 18, 2010.
A6
Government Code Section 20741 requires that there must be a twenty -day period between the
adoption of the Resolution of Intention and the Second Reading and Adoption of the Ordinance.
The Resolution of Intention was adopted by Council on May 18, 2010.
Ca1PERS requires that the retirement period within which this benefit may be provided, is no less
than ninety (90) days and no more than one hundred eighty (180) days in length. The retirement
period designated by the City will commence on Monday, October 25, 2010 and end on Friday,
January 28, 2011.
Fiscal Impact
The cost of the Two Years of Additional Service Credit is amortized by Ca1PERS over a twenty
year period and will be included in the City's Safety Employer Contribution Rate, commencing
with the Fiscal Year starting two years after the end of the designated Retirement Period, 2012-
2013.
Staff has calculated the fiscal impact on the assumption that the incumbent will retire during the
designated Retirement Period.
Staff's fiscal impact calculations were based on utilizing PERS Document CON3 -PA, "Procedures
for Calculation of Estimated Employer Cost" and were reviewed and certified by Actuary John
Bartel of Bartel Associates, LLP. Mr. Bartel has provided the City with actuarial analyses and
valuation reports for a number of years.
1) Estimated Present Value of Additional Employer Contributions $185,000
2) Estimated Annual Employer Cost Amortized over 20 Years $ 14,000
3) Estimated Employer Rate Increase .084%
The cost savings to the City based on the above retirement would be $ 282,726 for FY 2010 -2011.
If the employee enters into a Date - Certain Retirement Separation Agreement, by Friday, December
14, 2010, he will receive a one -time payment of $1,000.
Further, two additional actions are required to finalize the Amendment of the City's contract with
Ca1PERS.
Resolution Providing for a Designated Retirement Period for Section 20903, Two Years
Additional Service Credit
Adoption of the Resolution formally designates both the job classification eligible for this benefit,
as well as the Retirement Period during which the retirement must occur. Ca1PERS requires that
the Designated Retirement Period be no less than ninety (90) days, no more than one hundred
eighty (180) days in length.
The Designated Retirement Period will be from Monday, October 25, 2010 to Friday, January 28,
2011. This timeframe will allow the eligible employee to have ample time to 1) review information
related to the Early Retirement Program, 2) obtain retirement allowance estimates from CalPERS,
and 3) complete and submit the Retirement Application Package.
8..1
Certification of Compliance with Government Code Section 20903
Ca1PERS requires, in accordance with Government Code Section 20903, and the contract between
the Ca1PERS Board of Administration and the City Council, that the Council certify that:
"Because of an impending curtailment of, or change in the manner of performing service,
the best interests of the agency will be served by granting such additional service credit.
The added cost to the retirement fund for all eligible employees who retire during the
designated window period will be included in the contracting agency's employer
contribution rate for the fiscal year that begins two years after the end of the designated
period.
It has elected to become subject to Section 20903 because of impending mandatory
transfers, demotions, and layoff that constitute at least 1 percent of the job classification,
department, or organizational unit, as designated by the governing body, resulting from the
curtailment of, or change in the manner of performing, its services.
Its intention at the time Section 20903 becomes operative is to keep all vacancies created by
retirements under this section or at least one vacancy in any position in any department or
other organizational unit permanently unfilled, thereby resulting in an overall reduction in
the workforce of such department or organizational unit."
Fundine Options
Options available to pay for the increased costs include an annual additional payment of $14,000
for twenty (20) years starting Fiscal Year 2012 -2013 —or- a lump sum payment in the amount of
$185,500.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Public Works
Fuel for City Vehicles and Equipment
It is estimated that City vehicles and equipment will consume 73,000 gallons of gasoline, 16,000
gallons of diesel fuel, and 8,000 gallons of propane in Fiscal Year 2009 -2010 at a cost of
approximately $284,000. Due to the projection of modest price increases in the next fiscal year,
the City is budgeting $321,000 for Fiscal Year 2010 -2011. Account Numbers: 001- 400 -4601-
5215 ($250,000) 109 - 400 - 3105 -5215 ($13,000) 112- 400 -5292 -5215 ($31,000) 501- 400 -7102-
5215 ($14,000) 502- 400 - 4301 -5215 ($13,000)

Generally, fuel is purchased either through spot market purchases or long -term contracts. Spot
purchasing consists of shopping around each time fuel is needed and purchasing fuel from the
lowest priced vendor. This type of purchasing usually occurs when the fuel market is volatile as
it has been for the last three years. During periods of stability, agencies enter into long -term fuel
contracts. Pricing under long -term contacts is tied to a published fuel price baseline plus a
markup. The recent volatility in the market has forced vendors to significantly raise this markup,
making long -term contracts unattractive. Under the City's last long -term contract through Los
Angeles Metropolitan Public Purchasing Agents' Cooperative (LAMPPAC), there was virtually
no markup. When that contract expired in September 2005, the fuel market was quite volatile
and City Council authorized staff to purchase gasoline and diesel fuel through the use of spot
market purchases.
Many agencies including Cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Hawthorne have opted
to purchase fuel through spot purchases in lieu of entering into long -term contracts since the
expiration of the LAMPAC contact. Staff continuously monitors long -term contracts available
in the industry. When the terms of long -term contracts improve such that the price is a few cents
over the market baseline, staff will again recommend entering into a long -term fuel contract.
Pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) § 1 -7 -10, relating to purchases and supplies,
the City Council may at any time, by a majority vote and without amending the ESMC, waive
purchasing procedures or alter proceedings to fit a specific purchase, when the waiver is not in
violation of State law. Spot purchasing is the sort of modified purchasing arrangement that
requires such a waiver by Council. It is possible that the total of purchases from any one vendor
may exceed $25,000; therefore, Council approval of spot purchasing is requested.
Water Meters — Metron Farnier & Actaris
The City's water distribution system includes approximately 250 large commercial compound
water meters three to eight inches in diameter. As large meters age, they become less accurate
and tend to register water usage that is below actual consumption. It is common in the water
industry to replace older large meters as they are typically the greatest source of unbilled water
or lost water. When meters are replaced, the Water Division installs single jet water meters
rather than compound water meters. The single jet meters provide increased metering accuracy,
excellent low flow registration, and less maintenance part. The cost to replace each meter ranges
from $2,000 to $5,000, dependent upon size.
Staff plans to continue replacing meters in FY 2010 -2011 and recommends continuing to
purchase meters from Metron Farnier & Actaris, the only two vendors that supply this type of
meter, in an amount not to exceed $100,000 in total. Account Numbers: 501- 400 - 7201 -6215
Asphalt Paving Materials — Blue Diamond Materials
The Street Maintenance Division repairs approximately 50,000 square feet of pavement
annually. Pavement repair work includes potholes, pavement failures, repairs from tree root
damage and utility cuts, general street repairs throughout the City and preparation for slurry seal
projects. Through the Fiscal Year 2010 -2011 budget process, $50,000 was budgeted for the
J„ `4
annual expenditure of asphalt paving materials.
Street Maintenance Division personnel drive a City dump truck to retrieve asphalt paving
materials. There are three local vendors that supply the materials.

Pricing for asphalt paving materials is variable and dependent upon the oil and aggregate market.
The pricing for asphalt concrete in the table above was based on a spot market quote on
September 7, 2010.
Staff recommends continuing the purchase or asphalt paving materials from Blue Diamond
Materials, on a single- source basis, in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for the following
reasons:
1. Closer proximity to City reduces staff driving time, fuel and liability
2. Availability of materials — two locations
3. Lowest overall cost when factoring in travel time costs and staff downtime
4. Reduced temperature loss from being transported shorter distances
At this time, Blue Diamond Materials is the more reasonable choice based upon pricing,
proximity and availability. Staff will continue to monitor asphalt concrete prices and return to
Council if a change in vendors is warranted. Account Number: 001 - 400 - 4202 -5204

Fire Department
Bound Tree Medical, Inc.
The El Segundo Fire Department has been purchasing and storing paramedic medical supplies
since 1998 as mandated by the County of Los Angeles, Emergency Medical Services Agency.
For seven years, the Fire Department utilized Bound Tree for paramedic medical supplies
through a piggyback on an existing competitively bid award. In 2005, staff recommended a
change in vendors due to supply availability issues and billing problems. Since that time, Bound
Tree has significantly improved its service and has streamlined their ordering process which is
integrated with the Department's internal process. In addition to favorable pricing and timely
deliveries, Bound Tree has since expanded their inventory and offers a full range of
pharmaceutical supplies which allows the Fire Department to consolidate these types of
purchases and receive better pricing with a single vendor.
The El Segundo Fire Department recommends that the City Council waive the formal bidding
process per El Segundo Municipal Code §1 -7 -10 to purchase medical and pharmaceutical
supplies, and piggyback on the formal, competitive bid used by the City of Berkeley. Account
Number: 001-400-3203-5204 Amount:$26,000.

provide quality improvement services to maintain or enhance the quality of patient care (referred
to as "QI Services ").
The Fire Department also has automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in service which require
that personnel who operate this equipment must be trained and certified as Emergency Medical
Technician - Defibrillation (EMT -D). In addition, the citywide AED program requires employee
training and oversight, and these fees have been absorbed into the existing Fire Department fees.
The El Segundo Fire Department recommends the authorization of a blanket purchase order to
the UCLA Center for Pre - Hospital Care for FY 10 -11 to enable the Fire Department to continue
to receive the services provided by UCLA. Account Number: 001- 400 - 3202 -6223 and 331 -400-

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Engineer 0�
Works Directo
The property owners within Annexation No. 05 -55 are requesting to receive off -site disposal of
sewage for their property. Before the service can be provided, the property must be annexed into
Los Angeles County Sanitation District No. 5.
The annexation process requires that a resolution for property tax revenue exchange be adopted
by all of the affected local agencies before the County of Los Angeles can approve the
annexation. The law requires that the local governing body approve, by resolution, the amount of
the annual tax increment to be transferred to the special district to pay the additional services.
The sharing of the property tax increment with the Sanitation District, as a result of the
annexation, will not result in a loss of tax revenue that the City currently receives from the
property.

the governing bodies of all local agencies that receive an apportionment of the property tax from the area
must determine the amount of property tax revenues from the annual tax increment to be exchanged
between the affected agencies and approve and accept the negotiated exchange of property tax revenues
by resolution; and
WHEREAS, the governing bodies of the agencies signatory hereto have made determinations of
the amount of property tax revenues from the annual tax increments to be exchanged as a result of the
annexation to County Sanitation District No. 5 entitled Annexation No. 55;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The negotiated exchange of property tax revenues resulting from the annexation of territory
to County Sanitation District No. 5 in the annexation entitled Annexation No. 55 is approved and
accepted.
2. For each fiscal year commencing on and after July 1, 2010, or after the effective date of this

period that such tax increment is legally committed for repayment of the redevelopment project costs.
5. If at any time after the effective date of this resolution, the calculations used herein to
determine initial property tax transfers or the data used to perform those calculations are found to be

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA STATEMENT
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
MEETING DATE: September 21, 2010
AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
Consideration and possible action regarding a sole- source award to lease 953 acre -ft of
ground water pumping rights to the City of Manhattan Beach. (Fiscal Impact: $100,065
revenue to the Water Enterprise Fund)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Authorize the Mayor to execute a lease with the City of Manhattan Beach in a form
approved by the City Attorney.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
Proposed Water Right Lease Agreement
FISCAL IMPACT: None
Amount Budgeted: $0
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): ,✓
ORIGINATED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Director of Public Works s
REVIEWED BY:
APPROVED BY:
Mark Hensley, City
Jack Wayt, City Ma
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City of E1 Segundo has adjudicated ground water rights to pump 953 acre -ft of ground water
each year from the West Coast Basin aquifer, although it has no ability exercise those annual
pumping rights. However, El Segundo can and does lease its rights to other jurisdictions who
have the ability to pump, typically by auctioning off its allocation to the highest bidder. Last
year, Manhattan Beach won the bid at $105 per acre -ft. A water year runs from July 1 to June 30
each year
This year, staff recommends that its 953 ac -ft of groundwater allocation be sole- source leased to
Manhattan Beach due to the unique interconnection between our two water systems and the
"allocation' assistance Manhattan Beach has agreed to provide us in light of our over-
consumption issues (now under investigation). By way of background:
• During the 2009/10 water year, El Segundo exceeded its potable water allocation by more
than 2500 acre -ft. In February 2011, staff will conclude an experiment to assess whether
the excess is structural or actual consumption. The findings will then be presented to
1 1
233
West Basin, at which time West Basin's board will consider what penalties, if any,
should be levied against El Segundo for the over - consumption.
• Staff felt that until we could fully assess our over - consumption problem, a conservative
approach to avoid penalties in the 2010/11 water year would be to secure additional
imported water by "trading" with another agency some imported water allocation for El
Segundo's pumping rights. The natural fit for this trade is Manhattan Beach due to the
interconnection between our two systems and our close working relationship. Staff
proposed this trade concept to Manhattan Beach as a win -win for each City — E1 Segundo
would be guaranteed additional imported water resources (if needed) to avoid penalties,
while Manhattan Beach would be guaranteed additional pumping rights to help offset the
increased cost of purchasing imported potable water.
• El Segundo does have water interconnects with the City of Los Angeles and California
Water Service Co., but does not have direct relationships with staff at those agencies to
quickly enter discussions regarding trading pumping rights and imported water
allocations.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Based on Council direction, members of the Management /Confidential Group began discussing ways to
address the City's budget shortfall for the current fiscal year and FY 2010 -2011. In order to meet the five
percent (5 %) concession requested by Council for the current fiscal year, employees elected to take one
furlough day in August and a second furlough day in September. To prepare for this, the Finance Department
implemented changes to its financial/payroll system to track the number of furlough days taken and
implement the necessary wage deductions.
The Management /Confidential group met on August 25, 2010 and September 8, 2010 to further discuss
options available to meet the required concessions for FY 2010 -2011. A consensus was reached to suspend
the City's 401(a) match and continue furloughs. Battalion Chiefs will sell back a portion of their Holiday Pay
r ►s =:
in addition to suspending their 401(a) match. This combination of options will achieve the required savings.
Additionally, the vacation leave cash -out option will be suspended through the end of FY 2010 -2011 and the
vacation accrual cap will be lifted for this same period.
A discussion was held regarding the impact furloughs have on a management employee's exempt status under
the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Employees were informed that when a budget - required furlough is
imposed, employees classified as "exempt" lose their exempt status during the week in which there is a
furlough. What this means is that the City would have to pay the employee straight time for hours worked
beyond their scheduled hours for that week, and overtime at one and a half times their regular rate for any
hours worked over forty (40) in that week. Employees were advised to work with their Department Heads
when scheduling furlough days to ensure overtime is not incurred during a furlough week. Employees were
also instructed to secure prior Department Head approval if overtime will be required in a particular
workweek.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In March, 2010 the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition received a grant through the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 20091 to create a South Bay Master Bike Plan in
conjunction with seven South Bay cities, including El Segundo. Per grant requirements, city
councils must adopt a resolution committing minimal staff time to the project for a period of
approximately two years. The designated staff person can expect to spend about 5% of his /her
time on the project as it relates to relevant scope of work activities. The Scope also calls for

Angeles received approximately $1,125,000 toward this initiative.

appointing one councilmember and an alternate to participate in a Blue Ribbon Bicycle Advisory
Board. No additional resource commitment is required by El Segundo.
The goals of this project are to: 1) create a create master plan that regionally connects the cities
of Redondo Beach, Torrance, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Gardena and
Lawndale via a bicycle network, and 2) encourage the allocation of transportation and /or CIP
funds to pedestrian and bicycle projects as they become available. As the lead agency, Redondo
Beach is the primary facilitator of grant activities and has already hired an initiative coordinator
to begin implementation of the project scope of work. The final report is expected in 2012 and
will include signage plans, bikeway policies, and bike routes throughout the South Bay.
JOUTH SAY
SOUTH BAY
BICYCLE
MASTER PLAN
The Grant
In March of 2010 the South Bay Bicycle Coalition (a chapter of Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition)
received a grant to create a South Bay Master Bike Plan with seven cities who supported the grant
application. This program, administered by the Department of Public Health, provides $240,000 to
initiate policies and programs that will improve community health, primarily targeting childhood obesity.
The grant is funded at the Federal level by U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers of
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The South Bay Bikeways Initiative
The grant allows the SBBC to coordinate seven cities in the adoption of a bike master plan on a regional
scale. The seven cities which supported participation in the grant are Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach,
Manhattan Beach, Torrance, El Segundo, Lawndale and Gardena.
This August, SBBC is hiring a bicycle planning consulting firm and will officially kick -off the planning and
outreach efforts across the South Bay. The efforts will include community outreach and collaboration
with City staff and elected officials. The initiative will focus on the interconnectivity of South Bay cities
by refreshing existing bike plans with modern studies and a bias towards safe, feasible, and low cost
implementation. This planning and approval process will extend through 2012.
The resulting document will include signage plans, bikeway policies
and bike routes throughout the South Bay. Infrastructure
improvements will come in many forms; some may be fully
dedicated bike paths, others may be the simple addition of a bike
lane or the new concept of sharrows on a road (see picture at
right), while some areas may require only prominent signage for
existing bikeways. Cost - effective implementations with minimal
affects to vehicular right -of -ways will be prioritized in the early phases.
The resulting document will improve community health and bike safety, while simultaneously providing
an opportunity to increase bike ridership and enforce bike safety. The master plan will enable the
involved cities to apply for funding at the regional, state and federal levels.

Statistics Worth Considering
El Segundo, c. 2007.
Childhood obesity rates are
reported at approximately
13.4 %.
Portland: A 40% increase
in cycling is preceded by an
expanded bike network.
New York. Commuter
cycling rises by 35916 after
additional bike routes are
provided.
Childhood Obesity
With active residents and environmentally - focused policy, El
Segundo is one of the healthiest communities in Los Angeles
County. However, the beach community still suffers from
heightened rates of obesity. In 2007, it was reported that
the prevalence of childhood obesity in El Segundo was
approximately 13.4 %. Studies indicate increased rates of
childhood obesity often correlate with a reduction in the
number of children walking or biking to school. Providing
safe bike routes to school and for families outings will help
combat childhood obesity.
Bike Safety and Education
In addition to the health benefits resulting from increased
bike infrastructure, there will also be additional safety
benefits. One South Bay city recently reported that from
2004 to 2008, 66 bicyclists were involved in accidents, which
only accounts for reported accidents. In the auto - centric
culture of Los Angeles, it's important to educate both bicyclists and motorists on road - sharing safety and
laws. Cities which have adopted widespread, prominent and consistent bicycle policies have
experienced increased bicycle awareness and a safer more copacetic transportation environment.
Bike Policy in Los Angeles County
Many cities across Los Angeles County are currently engaged in various forms of bike planning and
policy. Here are just a few:
Santa Monica: The progressive coastal city has recently enacted a city- funded bike sharing
program for City staff. The City also hosts a bike valet program at their weekly farmer's market
and all City- sponsored events. It was estimated that the bike valet program parked over 22,000
bikes in 2009.
Los Angeles: The City and County of Los Angeles have both drafted Bicycle Master Plans, which
are still being revised. The City has pledged 5% of its transportation budget to go towards the
plan specifically and 10% of their Measure R funds to bicycle and pedestrian- oriented projects.
Additionally, 4th Street recently underwent a pilot phase as a bike boulevard and, along with
Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach, was recently improved with a series of sharrows.
Long Beach: The recent bike facility improvements in the City of Long Beach are considered to
be the most successful in Southern California. Their improvements involve a "green" bike lane
constructed with permeable materials, the general expansion of bike routes and the first bike
boulevard in the County.
X57
Existing Bikeways in E) Segundo
The City of El Segundo is well positioned to
continue catalyzing bike culture in the
region. The map to the right shows the
City's existing Bicycle Master Plan, as
adopted through the Circulation Element
in the General Plan.
While this map provides a solid foundation
for improved bicycle infrastructure, it does
not make the City of EI Segundo eligible for
over $1.2MM annual State funds available 7Master Plan
for such projects. The South Bay Bikeways - --
Initiative would create such a grant eligible plan (per California Streets and Highways Code §891.2).
What Is Required to Continue to Participate as a Member City?
47/
In order for the Initiative to be successful, the Department of Public Health, the grant administrator, has
established the following requirements:
1)
2)
3)
Designate a Council Member to participate in the Blue Ribbon Advisory Board;
Swiftly implement measures approved by City Council as funding is available;
Designate a City Liaison that will:
Introduce the Initiative Director to key city staff (Planning, Public Works, Parks, etc.);
a.
b.
C.
d.
e.
f.
Participate in City hearings;
Assist in drafting Council memos, documents, code, etc. and in obtaining City
approval for related documents and plans;
Upon the request of the Initiative Director, review, give directions and provide
feedback on draft documents in a timely fashion;
Assist consultants on bicycle counts and field surveys as needed;
Participate as a member of the Technical Advisory Board in the South Bay Bicycle
Planning Roundtable on a monthly basis.
4) Encourage the City Council to reserve a portion of transportation or Capital Improvement
funds towards pedestrian and bicycle projects, just as the City of LA recently did. The South
Bay Bicycle Coalition recommend 3 -5% of transportation funds be dedicated to alternative
transportation plans and programs.
The City of El Segundo can be the next incubator for alternative transportation innovation. Contact us

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
As part of the March 19, 2009 Strategic Planning Session, staff presented Council with a number of
potential budget reduction options, including reducing the City's personnel costs through Early
Retirement Incentives.
17

Council approved amending the contract between the Board of Administration of the California
Public Employees' Retirement System (Ca1PERS) and the El Segundo City Council at its meeting on
July 21, 2009 to provide for Section 20903 (Two Years Additional Service Credit) for the City's
Local Miscellaneous (Non- Safety) Members, with the exception of Department Directors, Assistant
City Manager and City Manager. The designated retirement window period was from October 5,
2009 through January 15, 2010. When this item was initially presented to Council, staff was aware
of nineteen (19) individuals who had some level of interest in retiring and anticipated nine (9) would
retire. When the retirement window closed, a total of fourteen (14) employees had retired through
this Program. The City has been able to realize salary savings by keeping positions unfilled and
implementing a selective hiring freeze.
Strategic Planning Sessions were held on May 6, 2010 and June 24, 2010 to discuss the FY 2010-
2011 budget. Once again, staff presented Council with a number of budget reduction options,
including the Early Retirement Program. Based on the level of interest expressed by employees, staff
recommends Council approve another retirement period under Section 20903 and expand the list of
eligible miscellaneous classes to include Assistant City Manager. Department Director and City
Manager will continue to be excluded from the list of eligible classes. If Council approves moving
forward with another retirement period, staff will agendize Adoption of the Resolution at the
October 5, 2010 Council Meeting.
Positions left vacant as a result of these retirements will be frozen by the City Manager.
Departments will be required to obtain Council approval in order to fill the positions.
This Agenda Item requests Council approval of an Early Retirement Incentive Program which would
provide eligible employees: 1) Two Years of additional PERS Service Credit; and 2) a payment of
$1,000 to eligible employees entering into a Date - Certain Retirement Separation Agreement, in
order that the resulting salary savings can be expeditiously factored into the Fiscal Year 2010 -2011
Budget.
Section 20903 (Two Years Additional Service Credit)
Eligibility to receive the two years of Additional Service Credit requires the following:
* The employee is a Local Miscellaneous (Non- Safety) Member of CalPERS.
* The employee will have reached age 50 and have at least five years of Ca1PERS Service at
the time of their retirement during the retirement period designated by the City.
* Department Heads and City Manager are not eligible to receive the two years of
Additional Service Credit.
The employee benefits because the additional two years of Service Credit adds value to his /her
Retirement Annuity.
The employer benefits because the City achieves cost savings through resulting position vacancies,
opportunity for workforce restructuring and /or lower compensated new employees filling certain
designated vacant positions.
Approximately fifty -six (56) employees are eligible to receive this benefit. To date, staff is aware of
twenty -four (24) individuals with some level of interest in obtaining the two years of Additional
Service Credit and retiring. Realistically, we would anticipate that approximately eight (8)
employees would expect to receive this benefit.
-2- 264
CalPERS requires, in accordance with Government Code Section 20903, and the contract between
CalPERS and the City, that the City Council certifies that:
Because of an impending curtailment of, or change in the manner of performing service, the
best interests of the agency will be served by granting such additional service credit.
2. The added cost to the retirement fund for all eligible employees who retire during the
designated window period will be included in the contracting agency's employer contribution
rate for the fiscal year that begins two years after the end of the designated period.
3. It has elected to become subject to Section 20903 because of impending mandatory transfers,
demotions, and layoffs that constitute at least one percent of the job classification,
department or organizational unit, as designated by the governing body, resulting from the
curtailment of, or change in the manner of performing, its services.
4. Its intention at the time Section 20903 becomes operative is to keep all vacancies created by
retirements under this section or at least one vacancy in any position in any department or
other organizational unit permanently unfilled, thereby resulting in an overall reduction in the
workforce of such department or organizational unit.
Government Code Section 7507 requires that the future annual costs to provide this benefit be made
public at a public meeting at least two weeks prior to adoption of the Resolution.
CalPERS requires that the retirement period within which this benefit may be provided, is no less
than 90 days and no more than 180 days in length. The retirement period designated by the City will
commence on October 6, 2010 and end on January 14, 2011.
Fiscal Impact
The cost of the Two Years of Additional Service Credit is amortized by CaIPERS over a twenty year
period and will be included in the City's Miscellaneous Employer Contribution Rate, commencing
with the Fiscal Year starting two years after the end of the designated Retirement Period, 2012 -2013.
Staff has calculated the fiscal impact on the assumption that all eight (8) of those employees
expressing an interest in the benefit will retire during the designated Retirement Period.
Staffs fiscal impact calculations were based on utilizing PERS Document CON3 -PA, "Procedures
for Calculation of Estimated Employer Cost" and were reviewed and certified by Actuarial John
Bartel of Bartel Associates, LLP. Mr. Bartel has provided the City with actuarial analysis and
valuation reports for a number of years.
The figures below are based on a likely scenario that eight (8) employees would retire, resulting in
the Costing shown below:
1) Estimated Present Value of Additional Employer Contributions $345,275
2) Estimated Annual Employer Cost Amortized over 20 Years $ 26,078
3) Estimated Employer Rate Increase, 10.940% to 11.120 0.18%
-3-
Assuming that all eight (8) retirements would result in those positions remaining vacant, the annual
cost savings to the City would be $477,334.
Those employees entering into a Date - Certain (between October 6, 2010 and January 14, 2011)
Retirement Separation Agreement, by Monday, November 22, 2010 will receive a one -time payment
of $1,000.
Funding Options
Options available to pay for the increased costs include an annual additional payment of $26,078 for
twenty (20) years starting Fiscal Year 2012 - 2013 —or- a lump sum payment in the amount of
$345,275.
