I. Introduction
The City Council approved the Corporate Campus development project in 2002 (the
"Original Project "). The Original Project (EA -548) allows development of up to
2,175,000 square feet of office, light industrial, retail, restaurant, health club,
hotel /conference, medical /dental office, and day care uses, along with public recreational
facilities and a City fire station and retail on a 46.5 acre site. Building heights range from
low -rise (1 -2 story) and mid -rise (4 -6 stories). The Original Project has a Floor Area
Ratio (FAR) of .99. The Original Project Site (46.5— acres) boundaries are Atwood Way
to the north, Douglas Street to the west, Nash Street to the west, and Mariposa Avenue to
the south (the "Site "). The Original Project includes internal private streets for
circulation purposes. Discretionary approvals were granted in 2006 and 2007; the 2007
approval allowed development of the Edge at Campus project.
The project site is currently improved with: 1) the 216,465 square foot Edge at Campus

square feet of the approved 2,175,000 square feet of development on the project site. The
23.87 acre remainder of the site is vacant; it will be developed in 3 phases for a total of
625,205 square feet. The combined development will total 930,025 square feet; this is of
1,244,975 square feet less than the Original Project.

Specific Plan site.
5) Modifications to the Conditions of Approval from the Original Protect that were
adopted in Resolution No. 4241 and Ordinance No. 1345 - Modification to certain
conditions are proposed as part of the Revised Corporate Campus Development.
Proposed modifications to the Original Project conditions of approval include:

project description, and the other requested discretionary actions.
III. Analysis
Please refer to Sections IV through VIII of the Planning Commission Staff Report for a
detailed discussion of the project analysis and findings.
3 12 -3
IV. Environmental Review /Certified EIR and Addendum
On January 2, 2002, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report
and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program. The City Council conducted a
separately noticed public hearing on the project after the completion of the response to
comments and completion of the FEIR. The proposed uses, buildings, parking, and
circulation improvements of the Revised Project are consistent with the requirements of
the CCSP and with the Final EIR certified on January 2, 2002, for the Corporate Campus
Project.
Addendum to the FEIR
The City prepared an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) that
was certified by the City of El Segundo on January 2, 2002 (Resolution No. 4241). The
Addendum evaluates potential environmental effects which may be associated with the
proposed changes to the previously- approved Development. The addendum to the FEIR
for the proposed 2013 Revised Project analyzes the proposed amendment to the
Corporate Campus Development project that would eliminate a private street that was
approved as part of the traffic circulation under the Original Project FEIR. In addition
the Revised Project was reduced in scale from 2,175,000 square feet to 930,025 square
feet and will be developed with a.60 FAR.
The Addendum was prepared under the authority of 14 Cal. Code of Regs. § 15164(a)
(CEQA Guidelines) which allows a lead agency to prepare an addendum to a previously
certified FEIR if some changes or additions to the previously certified FEIR are
necessary, but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines § 15162 requiring of
a supplemental or subsequent EIR are present. The addendum determined that there
would be no new, or substantially more severe, significant impacts than the impacts
originally identified in the FEIR. However, the previously adopted Statement of
Overriding Considerations must be readopted by the City Council stating the specific
reasons why the project's benefits outweigh its significant environmental impacts.
Planning staff recommends that the City Council find that the overriding benefits of the
project outweigh the environmental impacts and readopt the Statement of Overriding
Considerations (Exhibit 2c) as required by CEQA. A complete environmental analysis is
provided in the attached Addendum to the EIR (Exhibit 2a). The adopted Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program is attached (Exhibit 2b).
V. Application Findings
In order to approve the project, the City Council must take certain actions related to the
proposed project related to the environmental review, Specific Plan Amendment,
Development Agreement Amendment, and Subdivision. The required findings for each
application are discussed in detail in the attached draft Resolution and draft Ordinance.
Staff believes that the City Council may make the required findings to adopt the
Addendum, Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC), and the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and to approve the Specific Plan
Amendment, Subdivision, Development Agreement Amendment, and modification to
conditions of approval as outlined in the draft Resolution and draft Ordinance.

VI. Planning Commission Hearing and Public Input
On October 17, 2013, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
amendment to the Plaza El Segundo project. The Planning Commission received public
testimony from the applicant. The Planning Commission did not receive any testimony
from the public voicing any support, concern, or opposition on the proposed project.
After conducting the hearing and receiving documentary information, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 2739, recommending that City Council approve the
Revised Project.
Minor revisions were made to the Specific Plan, the Development Agreement
Amendment and conditions of approval since the Planning Commission recommendation.
The revisions to the Corporate Campus Specific Plan include a revised Exhibit 3 Site
Plan, corrected legal description in Appendix C, and corrected hours of the loading
spaces in Section V(F)(10)(g). Revisions to Section 6.6 were added to the Development
Agreement Amendment which were discussed in the Planning Commission staff report
but were inadvertently left out of the text of the Development Agreement Amendment.
Clarifications have also been added regarding the City's discretion to control the location,
design, and time and use restrictions of any on- street parking. Additional requirements to
provide overflow parking during non - business hours have also been added. To Section
6.6. The applicant has eliminated the request for a 2 -year time extension to the
Development Agreement with the concurrence of City staff. Minor revisions were made
to Condition of Approval Nos. 36, 42, 51, and 62. Condition No. 6(I) has been
eliminated since it is no longer applicable. Condition Nos. 34, 43, and 44 have been
modified and new Condition Nos. 45, 46, and 47 have been added to clarify the
development impact fee requirements while the Development Agreement is valid and the
requirements once the Agreement has expired.
VII. Development Impact Fees and the Development Agreement
The City executed a Development Agreement when the project was approved. Ordinance
No. 1345, the enabling ordinance for the Development Agreement became effective July
11, 2004 following a referendum and litigation associated with the project. The
Development Agreement term was for 9 years from the effective date of the adopted
Ordinance with an option for a 5 -year extension. The option for the 5 -year extension was
exercised on March 19, 2013. Therefore, the expiration date of the Development
Agreement is July 11, 2018.
The development impact fees from 2002 included in the project approval are: $0.03 per
square foot of development for library fees, $0.11 per square foot for police service fees,
$0.14 per square foot for fire service fees, and no park fees as they did not exist at that
time. Traffic fees which were regulated separately in Council Resolution No. 3969 were
determined by the location within the City and the number of vehicle trips generated by
the project to determine the applicable rate. The terms of the Development Agreement
allowed the developer to substitute donating one acre of land to the City (for a fire
station) in exchange for waiving the fire service fee. The development agreement
5 12 -5
allowed the developer to receive in -lieu credits against the traffic fees for street
improvements required of the project.
Once the Development Agreement expires on July 11, 2018, any development for which
a building permit has not been issued within the Corporate Campus Specific Plan area
will be subject to the adopted development impact fees in effect at that time. Traffic,
police, fire, and parks mitigation fees would be applicable at that time for any remaining
development.
VIII. Conclusion and Recommendation
Planning staff believes that the proposed Corporate Campus Specific Plan Amendment
project meets the mandatory findings as set forth in the staff report and recommends that
the City Council: 1) adopt the attached draft Resolution approving Environmental
Assessment No. EA -1021 approving an Addendum to the certified Final Environmental
Impact Report including implementing the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP), and approving Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 13 -02, Subdivision No.
SUB 13 -05 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287), Development Agreement Amendment
No. DA 13 -01, and modifications to the conditions of approval; 2) adopt a Statement of
Overriding Considerations; 4) Introduce, and waive first reading, of an Ordinance for
Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 13 -02 and Development Agreement No. DA 13 -01
with amendments to the development fees as proposed; and 5) Schedule second reading
and adoption of an Ordinance on December 3, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Amount Budgeted: $N /A
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Mark Hensley, City Attorney
REVIEWED BY: Deborah Cullen, Director of Finance
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At the August 22, 2013, City Council Strategic Planning Workshop, the Council was presented
with budget information for fiscal years 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 which shows that the City has
had and continues to have a budget that is not structurally balanced. The payments the City
receives from Chevron pursuant to agreement entered into within Chevron earlier this year is
providing the revenues necessary to balance the 2013/2014 budget. However, based on
forecasted revenues and expenditures staff is projecting a budget shortfall of $ 3,602,802 million
for fiscal year 2014/2015 and if the City were to increase expenditures for capital projects
recommended by staff the deficit increases to $5,602,802.
The Council was presented with several options for purposes of beginning the discussion of how
to balance the City's budget in future years, including (1) reducing City expenditures by
reducing or eliminating City services; (2) contracting out public safety services; or (3) increasing
the City's tax revenues. With regard to the latter option, staff provided Council with an
overview of different scenarios for amending the City's tax codes and how such would increase
City revenues. The Council also raised issues such as potentially placing an advisory measure on
the ballot to determine if the voters would want some portion of any potential new tax revenues
provided to the ESUD. Additionally, Council requested some information with regard to
potentially imposing a utility user tax on residents. City taxes are currently only imposed on
businesses within the City.
On September 25, 2013 staff made a presentation to Council for consideration and possible
action to direct staff to prepare documents for potential tax increases. During this meeting there
was consensus from Council to direct staff to prepare a public information program related to the
City's financial situation. Staff was instructed to coordinate dates, times and venues for the
public information meetings with as many community groups and citizenry as possible.
Included in this list were all Commission, Committee and Board meetings. Council also asked
that staff create a survey that can be handed out at each meeting to gauge community /business
feedback.
A financial presentation with details regarding the City's financial position and 3 -year forecast
was prepared. Included in this presentation were the options and potential tax increases that were
previously presented to Council. In an effort to disseminate this information to all residents a
video was created and made available on the City's website and the local cable channel.
Additionally, 3 outreach meetings were scheduled for the general public, (two weekday meetings
and one weekend meeting) and a letter was mailed to all residents that have a water billing
account with details (time /place) for the scheduled outreach meetings. The City also ran 2
advertisements in the El Segundo Herald and flyers with outreach information were made
available at all City facilities.
Since September 25th the City Manager has made this presentation at 13 meetings and conducted
surveys at each of these venues. The community groups include the Friends of the Library, Park
Vista, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs and the Boards and Commissions include Recreation and Parks,
Planning Commission and El Segundo Board of Education. Approximately 170 individuals
have completed the survey consisting of 10 questions /options related to demographics, tax
increases and City services. The results of the survey showed that generally the individuals
14
participating were satisfied with City services and a majority supported a potential tax increase.
See attached for complete results and comments, including the actual surveys.
Staff is seeking direction from the Council with respect to what tax measures, if any, that
Council wants to place on the April 2014 general municipal election. Council has until January
8, 2014 to adopt the necessary documents to place ballot measure on the April election.
However, staff thought it was prudent to place this matter before Council as soon as possible
given that staff does not know how long Council may wish to discuss and consider its options
and, depending on Council direction, staff needs sufficient time to prepare the necessary
documents for Council action. The potential tax increases are proposed to be general taxes
(meaning they will be deposited into the City's general fund and can be used for any lawful local
government purpose) and the proposed increases require approval by a majority of the electorate
pursuant to Article XIII C of the California Constitution. To place a general tax increase on the
general municipal election four of the five Council Members must pass the resolution(s)
necessary to place the proposed increase(s) on the ballot.
Utility Users Tax
The City currently imposes a 3% UUT on businesses for electricity, gas, water services and 2%
for communication services. As shown on Exhibit A, the City charges less UUT than the
surrounding jurisdictions. Staff estimates that for each 1% increase (in all UUT's combined) the
City will collect estimated additional annual revenues of $1,401,204.
If the Council were to impose a UUT on residents, for each 1% of tax imposed on residential
electricity, gas and water services the City would collect approximately $342,350 of additional
annual revenues.
Transient Occupancy Tax
The City currently imposes an 8% TOT on individuals occupying hotels or motels within the
City. Exhibit A reflects that the City charges less, and in some cases substantially less than the
surrounding jurisdictions. Staff estimates that for each 1% increase in TOT the City will collect
an additional $637,500 in annual revenues.
Business License Taxes
Elimination of Business Sales Tax Credit
The City currently provides businesses with a credit towards their annual business license tax in
an amount equal to the sales tax payments the City receives from businesses. If the City
eliminates this credit, it is estimated that the City's annual BLT revenues will increase annually
in the amount of $1,100,000.
Imposing a Parking Lot Tax
15
Imposition of a 10% citywide parking tax would provide up to $1,158,392 in additional business
license taxes depending on which of the following taxes were collect:
1. Airport parking (long -term parking) estimate revenue - $295,000;
2. Transient validation and valet parking estimated revenue - $346,404;
3. Monthly tenant parking estimated revenue - $516,900
Advisory Ballot Measure — ESUSD
The Council expressed some interest in potentially putting an advisory ballot measure on the
election for purposes of seeing if the voters would like to see some portion of the revenues from
any proposed tax increase provided to the ESUSD. The Council can place such a measure on the
ballot but it has no binding legal effect and will not require that the City provide any revenues
form any increase in tax revenues the School District. However, the Council and future Council
can consider the results of such an advisory measures as the Council adopts its annual budget.
This would require two separate ballot measures. The questions might look like this:
Measure A:
"SHALL THE ORDINANCE (ORDINANCE NO. 123) AUTHORIZING THE
IMPOSITION OF A PARKING TAX AT AN ANNUAL FLAT RATE OF $X
DOLLARS ($X) PER PARKING SPACE BE ADOPTED?"
Measure B:
SHALL THE ORDINANCE (ORDINANCE NO. 456) ADVISING THE CITY
OF EL SEGUNDO REGARDING THE EXPENDITURE OF NEW PARKING
TAX REVENUE BE ADOPTED?
Procedural Issues Re Preparation of Ballot Measures
What Specific Amendments/Increases Does Council Want to Place on the Ballot?
Staff needs Council direction regarding which taxes, if any, that four members of the Council
can agree on amending and /or increasing. It only takes three members of Council to place the
advisory measure on the ballot, but unless four Council Members can agree on the proposed
amendments /increases to the City's tax code, an advisory measure would be moot.
Does Council Want the Proposed Amendments/Increases combined into one ballot
measure or does it want separate ballot measures for each proposed
amendment /increase?
Council has the option of either combining all of the proposed amendments and /or increases into
one ballot measure (except an advisory ballot measure which must be a separate measure) or
placing separate ballot measure for each amendment and/or increase on the ballot. This is a
policy consideration for the Council. Council may wish to consider whether it wants all of the
measures tied together with the understanding if it passes or fails that all of the proposed
amendments pass or fail as opposed to having each amendment /increase voted on separately.
16
An additional consideration is that a ballot measure question can only contain 75 words. Thus,
depending on number of amendments /increases that the Council wants to include in the ballot
measure then it may become more difficult to specifically describe each amendment /increase
than it would be if all of the amendments /increases are placed on the ballot as separate measures.
For example, if the Council were to place all of the amendments /increases before the electorate
then the ballot question might take the form of one of the two options below:
"SHALL THE ORDINANCE (ORDINANCE NO. 123) ENTITLED "AN
INITIATIVE MEASURE AUTHORIZING A ONE PERCENT (1 %) INCREASE
TO THE UTILITY USER TAX, BUSINESS LICENSE TAX, AND
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX TO FUND GENERAL MUNICIPAL
SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, POLICE PROTECTION
AND INVESTIGATIONS, SUPPRESSION OF GANG AND DRUG RELATED
CRIMES, REMOVAL OF GRAFFITI, RAPID RESPONSE TO
EMERGENCIES, SERVICES TO SENIOR CITIZENS, AND MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR OF CITY STREETS AND LANDSCAPING" BE ADOPTED?"
[70 words]
"SHALL THE ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN INITIATIVE MEASURE
AUTHORIZING A 1% INCREASE TO THE UTILITY USER TAX; A 2%
INCREASE TO THE BUSINESS LICENSE TAX; AUTHORIZING A 3%
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX; REPEALING THE BUSINESS
INCENTIVE TAX CREDIT; AND ADDING A NEW PARKING TAX TO
FUND GENERAL MUNICIPAL SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, POLICE PROTECTION AND INVESTIGATIONS, RAPID
RESPONSE TO EMERGENCIES, SERVICES TO SENIOR CITIZENS, AND
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF CITY STREETS" BE ADOPTED?" (71
words)
Alternatively, if each is proposed separately then the measures would be virtually identical and
read as follows:
"SHALL THE ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 3 -7 TO INCREASE THE UTILITY USER TAXES BY 1% TO
FUND GENERAL MUNICIPAL SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, POLICE PROTECTION AND CRIME SUPPRESSION
SERVICES, FIRE PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION SERVICES, AND
PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES AND SERVICES BE ADOPTED?"
"SHALL THE ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
§ 3 -4 -3 TO INCREASE THE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAXES BY 1% TO
FUND GENERAL MUNICIPAL SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, POLICE PROTECTION AND CRIME SUPPRESSION
SERVICES, FIRE PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION SERVICES, AND
PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES AND SERVICES BE ADOPTED?"
17
"SHALL THE ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
TO ELIMINATE THE BUSINES LICENSE SALES TAX CREDIT AND
ESTABLISH A PARKING TAX TO FUND GENERAL MUNICIPAL
SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, POLICE PROTECTION
AND INVESTIGATIONS, SUPPRESSION OF GANG AND DRUG RELATED
CRIMES, REMOVAL OF GRAFFITI, AND RAAPID RESPONSE TO
EMERGENCIES BE ADOPTED?"
Conclusion
Staff wanted to place this issue before Council well in advance of the cut -off date so that Council
would have adequate time to consider its options and staff would have adequate time to prepare
the necessary documents, if so directed by Council, to place ballot measures on the April general
municipal election.

One possibility is IF we are to implement anew residential UUT that it happens when a property is sold
and the new buyer would be subject to a fixed UUT from thereon forward. So currently, everyone does
not have to pay new tax. Only new residents are subject to it when they buy property in El Segundo.

FISCAL IMPACT: $33,800

ORIGINATED BY: Richard D. Guyer, Battalion Chief
REVIEWED BY: Kevin S. Smith, Fire Chief
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City of El Segundo Fire Department intends to maintain emergency radio communication
equipment that is state of the art. Dual band radio systems are a relatively recent advent radio in
communications technology. This radio system allows use of one radio to fulfill all mission
critical communications with different agencies and dispatch centers that previously required two
radios. These portable dual band radios are also capable of providing a GPS component enabling
incident commanders to locate and track first responders at an incident scene. The Fire
Department had previously received an award of seventeen (17) portable dual band radios
through a grant awarded through the Los Angeles Area Fire Chiefs Association. There were not
enough radios provided through the grant to meet all the portable radio needs of the Fire
Department. This proposed purchase will supplement the requirement for portable radios and
accessories to meet the Fire Department's emergency communication needs. South Bay Regional
Public Communications Authority (SBRPCA) is the City's contract emergency communications
service provider. SBRPCA provides service, sales, repair, and installation for all of the Fire
Department's emergency communications needs. If approved, the Fire Department intends to
purchase the radios and related equipment through the SBRPCA.

Impact: $250,000)

FISCAL IMPACT: Included in Adopted Budget
Amount Budgeted: $1,000,000 for sewer repairs
Additional Appropriation: No
Account Number(s): Sewer Enterprise Fund: To be Assigned
ORIGINATED BY: Lifan Xu, Principal Engineer e&_
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Directo
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In 2010, Advanced Sewer Technologies (AST) conducted a video inspection and conditional
assessment on the City's sanitary sewer collection system's pipes and manholes. The
Conditional Assessment Report found broken pipes, fractures, offsets and various other
deficiencies throughout the system. Staff uses the AST report to serve as its guidance document
for prioritizing the City's highest sewer repair and replacement needs. Based on the AST
report's findings, staff has already implemented $1;052,044.08 worth of open trench and sewer
lining projects at various locations throughout the Smokey Hollow area as well as on Maple Ave.
Please note that staff evaluates the condition of each priority segment of sewer mains prior to
developing plans and specifications to determine which segments can be lined and which
segments are in need of full replacement (e.g., open trench). This, in turn, allows us implement .
the best passible options in the most cost - effective manner.
Staff is now ready to proceed with trenehless improvements, predominantly in the western
residential areas (see attached map). Trenchless repair (lining) is an inexpensive and effective
repairing method for minor deficiencies in pipes that are still structurally sound but have been
compromised and leak. Staff has developed specifications now recommends that City Council
1)adopt the attached resolution approving the plans and specifications for the T'renchless Sewer
Improvement (Project No. PW13 -23) and 2) authorize staff to advertise the project for receipt of
construction bids. Staff estimates the following timeline for the project:
November, 2013
Advertise the Project
December, 2013
City Council Awards Project
February, 2014
Start Construction
May, 2014
Complete Project
Staff will return to City Council in early 2014 when we have finalized plans and specifications
for the second phase of this project. Staff will seek City Council approval at that time to move
forward with open trench sewer repairs using the remaining budget allocated to the 2013 -14
sewer improvement project.

AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to direct staff to carry out various activities in
preparation for the potential name change of Sepulveda Blvd. to Pacific Coast Highway
in the City of El Segundo. (Fiscal Impact: None)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Direct staff to carry out various activities in preparation of the potential name change
of Sepulveda Blvd. to Pacific Coast Highway within the City of El Segundo city
limits and add this task to the 2013 -2014 Strategic Plan.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.

Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
This fall staff was asked to investigate what would be required by the California Department of
Transportation ( Caltrans) in order for the City to change the name of Sepulveda Blvd. to Pacific
Coast Highway. Caltrans confirmed that the name change is feasible because Sepulveda Blvd. is
already officially designed as Highway 1 (i.e., Pacific Coast Highway) by the California State
Legislature, the governing body that oversees naming of the state's highway systems. In pursuit
of an official name change, Caltrans indicated that the City would need to take several
preliminary steps, including conducting outreach to and receiving support from a majority of
affected property/business owners (due to the name /address change), approving the request for a
name change through a City Council formal action (e.g., resolution of support) and submitting a
formal request to Caltrans. The agency also indicated that submitting its request in concert with
Manhattan Beach would be desirable for consistency purposes.
Staff presented an overview of the qualifying criteria to City Council at a joint City
Council /Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) meeting on October 23, 2013.
At that meeting staff was directed to bring the item back to the full City Council for
consideration and direction. Therefore, staff now recommends that City Council provide
direction to staff on whether to proceed with the initial steps of: 1) conducting outreach to
affected businesses /property owners about the potential name change of Sepulveda Blvd. to 8
Pacific Coast Highway and 2) engaging Manhattan Beach to determine whether it is interested in
joining El Segundo in a joint application process to Caltrans. If moving forward, staff would
then present the results of outreach efforts to City council and seek direction on whether to
proceed with the formal application process to Caltrans.

ORIGINATED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager,
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The Engineering Division within Public Works has two vehicles that are used by six staff
members to oversee construction projects, attend local and regional meetings and travel to other
Public Works facilities. These vehicles are also available as pool cars for employees citywide.
The Fire Department has one vehicle that is used by staff to conduct fire prevention inspections.
All three of the existing vehicles are repurposed police cars now past their useful life and due for
replacement.
In 1990, Assembly Bill 2766 (Subvention Fund Program) was signed into law authorizing a
$2.00 motor vehicle registration fee surcharge, with a subsequent increase to $4.00 in 1992. The
bill requires that the surcharge be used to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles in support of
the California Clean Air Act of 1988. Local jurisdictions receive 40% of the $4.00 charge on a
pro -rata share of the population to implement AB2766 projects that reduce mobile source
emissions. Each year, the City of El Segundo receives approximately $17,000 in funding from
the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), the regional agency who oversees
implementation of A132766. Currently, El Segundo has enough AQMD funds available to
supplement the purchase of new hybrid vehicles for the City's fleet.
Staff is committed to reducing mobile emissions from its fleet wherever possible and, as
described above, has identified three vehicles that qualify for replacement with more fuel
efficient alternatives. Therefore staff recommends that City Council approve the following
actions, which meet the intent of AB2766:
1. Approve the replacement of three city vehicles used for Public Works Engineering and
Fire Department field operations.
2. Authorize the use of $10,000 of available Equipment Replacement funds already
earmarked and available to be used toward the replacement of these three vehicles.
3. Authorize the appropriation of $73,200.00 of AQMD funds to supplement the cost
replacing the three vehicles.
Combined, the $83,200 will cover the full cost of all three vehicles, taxes, a service manual and
delivery. Additionally, replacing these vehicles will have several positive benefits, which
include:
• They will be permanently removed from the City's Equipment Replacement general
fund liability and instead transition to future replacements using AB2766 funds.
• The life of these vehicles will be extended from 5 years to 15 years (or longer)
because they will not subject to prior wear and tear that is customary in police use.
• Gas savings will be instantly realized with the purchase of the new vehicles. Staff
anticipates more than $10,000 in savings will occur over the 15 -life of these cars.
• Maintenance needs /costs and associated staff time will be significantly reduced for
the full 15 -year life of the cars.
• In support of AB2766, greenhouse gas emissions will be significantly reduced given
the gas /electric hybrid fuel efficiency of the new cars.
Lastly, these vehicles have been quoted using the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA)
contract for government pricing. City Council can elect to waive the bidding process under El
Segundo Municipal Code § 1 -7 -11 and instead opt to use government pricing through the NJPA.

The existing carpet on the upper floor of the Water Plant Facility, located at 400 Lomita Street, is
in dire need of replacement. The tile underneath it, to which the carpet is glued on, is composed
of asbestos fibers and must be properly removed and discarded before new carpet can be
installed.
Carpet replacement of the amount is normally beyond the expertise of our personnel and is
further complicated by the presence of the asbestos tile. In this case, staff will need to procure
the services of an appropriate contractor to carry out the necessary facility repair. Staff
therefore recommends that City Council adopt the plans and specifications and the attached
resolution, and authorize the project for receipt of construction bids.

REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning Safet
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At its meeting on February 19, 2013, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an
amendment, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to the existing contract with The Jones
Payne Group. That amendment extended the contract through September 30, 2013.
At the same meeting (February 19, 2013), the City Council authorized the City Manager, or
designee, to solicit Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) for a number of supplemental services,
including acoustical testing and supplemental design services.
Partially due to delays in soliciting those RFQs, and therefore resulting in no acoustical
consulting firm being currently under contract with the City, staff is recommending a one year
extension, retroactively from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014, to allow The Jones
Payne Group's sub - consultant, Landrum & Brown, to perform acoustical testing and
supplemental design services until the RFQ process for such services is completed. This action
does not require additional appropriation of funds, as there is an unencumbered balance on the
current contract that will cover such services.
Staff is recommending that such extension would be granted on a time and materials basis to
cover direct costs of Landrum and Brown services, and would allow processing of an invoice
received from The Jones Payne Group for services rendered in September of 2012.

marketing of the photo book to local businesses and organizations as part of the City's 100`h Anniversary
events..
ORIGINATED BY: Debra Brighton, Director of Library Services
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In 1991, a historical book was commissioned by the City Council for the City's 75`h Anniversary,
entitled, El Segundo: Seventy -Five Years by Elleen C Hunter. The book covered the history of
the area before the City's incorporation on January 18, 1917, but mostly it contained photographs
and a narrative about the growth of the City through the decades up to the early 1990'x.
Most of the photos from Ms.Hunter's book came from the archives in the El Segundo Public
Library's History Room. The Friends of the El Segundo Public Library have continued to
L�0
preserve the pictorial albums of the City through a History Committee that volunteers their time
to maintain the collection and assist library users with information about the City. Many
additional photographs have been collected since the 90's and placed in the room and on the
Library's website.
Now, the City is approaching its I00th year anniversary in 2017, and it is time to consider an
update of the book published by Ms. Hunter to include additional historical photos, plus
graphical depictions of new developments as a modern City through 2013.
Arcadia Publishing, Inc. has been publishing local pictorial histories of towns across the United
States since 1993, and the public library has collected many of their titles, so the quality of their
publications is well known. The Library Director has been approached by Arcadia Publishers on
several occasions to assist with a book and now seems to be a good opportunity to, once again,
promote the rich history of the town and illustrate many of the recent developments since the
90's which have made El Segundo a "business friendly" city as well.
The City Council is requested at this time to approve the Library Director's participation in the
project as a co- author, and to assist in the promotion of the book after publication in coordination
with the City's 100th Anniversary celebrations. Fifty percent of all proceeds garnered by the sale
of the book will be directly deposited to the City as revenues.

program.

FISCAL IMPACT: None

Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: James S. O'Neill, Program Manager
REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning B zlding Safety
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City's Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Program is intended to offer necessary
improvements to residential structures to increase the home's ability to shield against noise from
air traffic from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), so that interior noise levels in habitable
portions of homes meet federally set standards. Improvements typically include replacement of
exterior windows and doors in habitable portions of the home, the installation of chimney
damper or fireplace glass door at fireplaces where fireplace glass doors are not present, the
installation of baffles at attic vents and kitchen exhaust vents and additional attic insulation, and
a mechanical system to provide a means of providing some outside air, which is typically a
furnace system or ventilation -only system where a furnace system cannot be installed.
Item a. 2 of Article 812 (Noise Insulation Projects) of FAA Order 5100.38C, states:
The purpose of noise insulation projects is to reduce the adverse impact of airport
related noise on building occupants or residents. These projects are not intended
to compensate for inadequate maintenance, to bring nonconforming structures up
to building code standards, or to improve the comfort or attractiveness of a
building, although these benefits may result indirectly from the project.
Therefore, if a noise insulation project requires that new windows be installed, or
that upgraded electrical service be provided for ventilation equipment to achieve
14
noise reduction objectives, the costs associated with those work elements are
allowable costs. If, however, it is determined in the course of designing a project
that a building needs several improvements to conform to local building codes,
the costs of such improvements are not allowable under the grant program.
Based upon this, typical improvements are determined based on a general "like for like"
principal. Arguably, acoustically -rated replacement products (e.g., windows and doors) are not
"like" the windows and doors they are replacing (due to, for example, bulkier frames, thicker
glass and overall thickness). However, they are generally "like for like" in general appearance
(e.g., sliding window for sliding window, windows with grids for windows with grids, tinted
glass for tinted glass, or doors with glass for doors with glass).
Since at least 2002, the City's policy is to allow property owners to pay for requested alternative
or additional products. These "Owner Upgrades" would be included as individual items in bids
or have the price difference between the standard products and alternative products listed in the
bids. The City would present that pricing to requesting property owners for their consideration.
If the property owner made payment to the City for the Owner Upgrade, it would be included in
the contractor's scope of work.
There are, however, a few items that have been considered "mandatory" Owner Upgrades by the
City. City staff has witnessed and/or discovered deteriorated, or damaged, window and sills at
some properties that would prevent a contractor from properly replacing the associated window
or door without replacement of the sill. Due to the City's understanding of the FAA guidelines,
the City determined that the replacement of such sill was the responsibility of the property
owner. Property owners had the option of either replacing the damaged sill before participating
in the program or having the sill replaced by the contractor hired by the City as an Owner
Upgrade. Property owners have the same options in addressing other deteriorated conditions at
the home that would impact a contractor's ability to install necessary improvements related to the
RSI Program. Examples of other such conditions would include knob and tube wiring that is in
poor condition and, absent replacement, would prevent the proper installation of attic insulation,
and existing termite or water damage.
LAWA staff expressed concerns over the City's Owner Upgrade policy. These concerns resulted
in language being included in the most recent grant's Letter Agreement stating that the City
would not be allowed to use LAWA or FAA funds to offer or provide Owner Upgrades. In an
attempt to address LAWA's concerns and comply with the Letter Agreement, staff had prepared
to propose an administrative fee for the City Council to adopt at the August 6, 2013 City Council
meeting. Before the City Council meeting, LAWA informed City staff that they objected to an
administrative fee to address their concerns and wished to discuss the issue further. LAWA staff
agreed to allow the City to continue with its current policy until further discussions were
concluded, without consequence to the City for any administrative costs that might be incurred in
"offering" any Owner Upgrades to property owners while performing design work. Since then,
LAWA staff informed the City that it will not approve requests for additional funding to the City
if the City continued with its Owner Upgrade policy. LAWA staff did, however, request that the
City use FAA and LAWA funding to repair or replace deteriorated conditions of the home that
are necessary for the installation of necessary improvements, as long as such conditions are not
extensive.
96
On November 7, 2013, City representatives met with LAWA staff where a tentative verbal
agreement was reached in which the City would not accommodate requests for Owner Upgrades
(that would not have previously been considered mandatory by the City) from property owners
that entered into contracts with the City on or after November 12th, while allowing the practice
for property owners that entered into contracts prior to the close of business on November 7,
2013. Furthermore, the City would deem existing deteriorated conditions, previously eligible for
consideration as a "mandatory Owner Upgrades," a necessary improvement that is eligible for
funding under FAA and LAWA guidelines.
Based on these discussions, staff recommends that the City Council approve the changes
described above.
