ORIGINATED BY: Arianne Bola, Associate Engineer M ,.(� y!
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager,, ,
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On October 2, 2012, City Council awarded a Public Works contract to Shawnan for the
construction of Aviation Blvd. from 116th Street to El Segundo Blvd. (Phase 1). The award and
contingency amount of $616,000 included funding for construction and contingency for both the
City and County portion of Aviation Blvd. An additional $35,000 was awarded to APA
Engineering for construction inspection services, but is not part of Shawnan's final budget
itemized in this staff report. Because the bids were lower than expected, on December 4, 2012
staff requested and City Council authorized a contract amendment with Shawnan to include
additional street improvements along Aviation Blvd. between El Segundo Blvd. and Rosecrans
Ave. (Phase 2) for an additional $343,109, bringing the construction budget to $959,109. At that
time, City Council also awarded an additional $20,000 to APA Engineering for additional
construction inspection services.
Construction began on December 3, 2012, and was completed by Shawnan on March 8, 2013.
Additional street signage installation on Aviation Blvd. is not part of Shawnan's scope and will
be completed by the Los Angeles County Public Works' staff the end of April, 2013. A final
3
21
inspection for Shawnan's work has been performed and it was determined that the project was
completed per the plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of the Public Works
Department. The final project costs, which represent Prop C funds and Gas Tax funds, are as
follows:
Budget
$559,223.54 Shawnan Original Construction Award (Phase 1)
$343,109-00 Shawnan Amended Scope (Phase
$902,332.54 Shawnan Construction Award/Budget
+ $56,776.46 Project Contingencv
^ $959,109.00 Total Construction Budget
Expenses
- $895,322.64 Shawnan expenditures, based on field quantities used
$63,786.36 Construction Balance Remaining (unspent)
The remaining $63,786.36 will be disencumbered and returned to the Gas Tax Fund for future
projects. Staff also anticipates that approximately $18,000 will be returned to the Gas Tax Fund
from unspent inspection services once County sign installations are complete and the final
inspection performed later this month.
Lastly, per the MOU between El Segundo and the County, the City has billed and the County
will reimburse us $361,272.09 for its portion of the total construction costs of the project, leaving
the City's total construction costs for Aviation Blvd. at $534,050.55, of which $460,000 is from
Prop C and $74,050.55 is from Gas Tax.
Staff recommends that City Council accept the work perfornned by Shawnan as complete and
authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's Office.

REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager �D-
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On July 20, 2012, the City entered into a Public Works contract with Premier Developing
Services, Inc. in the amount of $92,500.00 for the construction of a masonry building for the
Water Department's telemetry system at 2161 E. El Segundo Blvd. At the time, the City Council
also approved an additional $7,500 to cover construction- related contingencies. On January 15,
2013, $11,136.00 in additional contingency funds were approved and expended, bring the total
project budget to $111,136.00.
Since that time, additional building /site modifications not originally shown on the construction
plans were required to complete construction of the building and surrounding site. These
included painting of exposed railings, installation of a door alarm system, installation of bollards
0
24
to protect vault doors, one new electrical panel, vent hole cover modifications and transformer
modifications. An additional amount of $6,550.00 is needed to cover these construction related
costs. Staff is requesting that City Council authorize a transfer of funds from the Economic
Uncertainty Fund to cover the additional $6,550.00. Because the project is now complete, staff
does not anticipate any future change orders.
Construction was completed on March 25 2013. A final inspection was performed and work was
satisfactorily completed per the plans and specifications and Public Works Department. Staff
recommends that City Council accept the work performed by Premier Developing, Inc. as
complete and authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's
Office.

REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Direct
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At the January 22, 2013 Disaster Preparedness Council Meeting, staff introduced and gave an
overview of the California Water /Wastewater Agency Response Network (Ca1WARN).
CalWARN is a statewide organization that supports and promotes statewide emergency
preparedness, disaster response, and mutual assistance for public and private water wastewater
utilities matters.
Much like public safety mutual aid programs, members of Ca1WARN enter into a no -cost,
omnibus mutual assistance agreement, which outlines a process for sharing emergency resources
and providing mutual assistance to one another in times of emergency. There is no mandated
obligation to respond to emergency calls for assistance from other agencies, but those who do
respond to the mutual aid request are reimbursed by the requesting agency through CalWARN'S
established rates and procedures. The Ca1WARN mutual assistance program is also consistent
with the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), the National Incident
Management Systems (NIMS) and other statewide mutual aid programs.
5
27
Because El Segundo owns and operates bath water and wastewater systems, staff believes that it
is beneficial for the City to join Ca1WARN. Ca1WARN provides the City a secondary level of
insurance that, during an emergency, the depth of resources we may need to fully and quickly
recover will be immediately available.
Some local members ofCalWARN include the Cities of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Long Beach
and Pasadena, as well as Golden State Water Company, the Metropolitan Water District and the
Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. Staff recommends that City Council adopt the
attached resolution and authorize the City to join CaIWARN.

Consideration and possible action to urge the Senate Budget Sub Committee to prevent the

Center ( SCROC) and Metropolitan Education District (MetroED). (Fiscal Impact: None)

PREPARED BY: Mishia Jennings, Executive Assistant4.::
REVIEWED BY: Suzanne Fuentes, Mayor Pro Tem
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
The Senate Budget Sub Committee submitted a budget proposal that appears to create an unintended
consequence related to funding for career technical education, and in particular, funding for Southern
California Occupational Center and Metropolitan Education District. Because SCROC and MetroED are
funded very differently than other career technical educational institutions, their state funding in the
proposed budget gets eliminated but they are unable to receive the replacement revenues as
contemplated by the budget shift.
Specifically, the budget proposal calls for "folding" current career technical education funding into a 9-
12 grade span adjustment. (Governor's Budget Summary 2013 -14, p. 18.) The proposed trailer bill
language to implement this funding change amends Education Code Section 52321 in such a manner as
to eliminate entirely any flow of revenue to regional occupational centers, while still allowing them to
budget and accumulate funding from unknown sources. However, SCROC and MetroED are unable to
accumulate funding from the unknown sources. If this change is enacted, SCROC and MetroED will
lose all their state funding and will have to close.
SCROC and MetroED are unique and apart from the other 72 Regional Occupation Programs (ROPs) in
the State. In 1967, the California Legislature authorized the establishment of Regional Occupational
Centers for the purpose ofproviding, what was then referred to as Vocational Education, to high school
students. The Legislature declared at that time that "regional occupational centers will enable abroader 6

curriculum in technical subjects to be offered, and will avoid unnecessary duplication of courses and
expensive training equipment, and will provide a flexibility in operation which will facilitate rapid
program adjustment and meeting changing training needs as they arise." (Education Code Section
52300).
The two centers operate much the same as stand -alone K -12 school districts with one distinction: the
sole function is to offer Career Technical Education programs. There are specific Educations Codes
references that designate the Centers as "school districts." Education Code Section 17592.5 designates
SCROC and MetroED as school districts for the purpose of receiving deferred maintenance funds and
the utilization of such funds; and Education Code Section 52320 designates "Centers" as school districts
for the purpose of receiving advances of funds from the county treasurer. Each of the Centers is
governed by its own Board of Education.
On July 28, 2009, then Governor Schwarzenegger established categorical programs as Tier III programs
and granted school districts complete flexibility for how the funds could be used. ROC /Ps were also
included as Tier III programs. However, since SCROC and MetroED have a Joint Powers Agreement
and the requirement of Education Code Section 52321 (a) (1) that calls for direct funding for Joint
Power Authority ROC /Ps, the State funds received by SCROC and MetroED could not be "flexed" by
the participating school districts. Now, in the 2013 -14 proposed budget, these same "categorical
programs" will receive zero State dollars with the net effect of closing SCROC and MetroED.

Re: Budget Proposal Will UnInlentionally Eliminate Funding, or Rewaoncal Ocewalional
Centers
Dear Chair Block and Chair Bonilla
We write to express our strong concern about what appears to be an unintended consequence of a
budget proposal concerning funding for career technical education, and in particular, funding for
Southern California Regional Occupational Center ( "SoCalRoc" or "SCROC ") and Metropolitan
Education District ( "MetroED ") which are located in our districts. Because SCROC and
MetroED are funded very differently than other career technical educational institutions, their
state funding in the proposed budget gets eliminated but they are unable to receive the
replacement revenues as contemplated by the budget shift,
Specifically, the budget proposal calls for "folding" current career technical education funding
into a 9 -12 grade span adjustment." (Governor's Budget Summary 2013 -14, p, 18,) The
proposed trailer bill language to implement this funding change amends Education Code Section
52321 in such a manner as to eliminate entirely any flow of revenue to regional occupational
centers, while still allowing them to budget and accumulate funding from unknown sources.
However, SCROC and MetroED are unable to accumulate funding from the unknown sources,
If this change is enacted, SoCalRoc and MetroED will lose all of their state funding and will
have to close.
31
SCROC and MetroED are quite unique and apart from the other 72 Regional Occupation
Programs (ROPs) in the State, In 1967, the California Legislature authorized the establishment
of Regional Occupational Centers for the purpose of providing, what was then referred to as
Vocational Education, to high school students. The Legislature declared at that time that
"regional occupational centers will enable a broader curriculum in technical subjects to be
offered, and will avoid unnecessary duplication of courses and expensive training equipment,
and will provide a flexibility in operation which will facilitate rapid program adjustments and
meeting changing training needs as they arise." (Education Code Section 52300).
The two centers operate much the same as stand -alone K -12 school districts with one
distinction; the sole function is to offer Career Technical Education programs. In fact, there are
specific Education Code references that designate the Centers as "school districts." Education
Code Section 17592.5 designates SoCal ROC and the Metropolitan Education District as school
districts for the purpose of receiving deferred maintenance fiends and the utilization of such
funds; and Education Code Section 52320 designates "Centers" as school districts for the
purpose of receiving advances of funds from the county treasurer. Each of the Centers is
governed by its own Board of Education.
For example, SCROC receives approximately 95% of its funding from the State. The remainder
comes from local revenues such as rents/leases of property, enrollment fees from adults and
approximately $70,000 a year from Federal Carl Perkins funds. Prior to 2009, ROPs received
State funding generated by an established revenue limit for each of the ROC /Ps multiplied by
hours of student attendance.
On July 28, 2009, then- Governor Schwarzenegger established categorical programs as Tier III
programs and granted school districts complete flexibility for how the funds ,could be used.
ROC /Ps were also included as Tier III programs. However, since SCROC and Metro Ed have a
Joint Powers Agreement and the requirement of Education Code Section 52321 (a) (1) that calls
for direct funding for Joint Powers Authority ROC/Ps, the State funds received by SCROC and
MetroED could not be "flexed" by the participating school districts.
Now, in the 2013 -14 proposed budget, these same "categorical programs" will receive zero State
dollars with the net effect of closing of SCROC and MetroEd.
Given their unique status, SCROC and Metro ED provide essential and valuable Career
Technical Education programs and services to tens of thousands of students annually. Because
of the way they are structured, SCROC and Metro Ed can and do respond to changing
demographics and job training needs as they arise. In addition. to the instructional experience
that students receive, many students receive valuable hands -on and networking opportunities as
part of their externship experience, In fact, SCROC and Metro Ed have hundreds of affiliates
with local businesses and industries throughout California. These include medical and dental
offices, retail venues, hotels and restaurants and design companies. Once completed, many
individuals find gainful employment right after they complete their program training.
32
We respectfully urge you to prevent the inadvertent and complete elimination of funding for this
valuable asset to our local communities and the overall state workforce. Whatever the merits of
the broader plan to revamp school funding, SCROC and MetroED should not be an accidental
casualty of that change,
Sincerely,
i
