FISCAL IMPACT: $52,847 Amount Budgeted: Total CDBG $52,847 ($52,847 estimated CDBG FY 2014/15) Account Number(s): CDBG Fund 111 ORIGINATED BY: Kimberly Christensen, AICP, Planning Manager REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning and Building Safet APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager CL BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Each year, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are allocated to cities by the Federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and administered through the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC). Participating cities receive funding based upon the total number of cities participating in the County's program, census population counts, estimates of poverty, overcrowding and aged housing stock. Since 1986, the City of El Segundo participated in the annual Los Angeles Urban County's CDBG Program. In order to continue its participation in the upcoming 2014 -2015 Program Year, which begins on July 1, 2014, and ends on June 30, 2015, the City of El Segundo must prepare and submit its proposed CDBG action plan and /or project descriptions to the Los 1 WE Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC) by January 31, 2014, for review and approval. Pursuant to Federal requirements, notice of this public hearing was posted in public buildings within the City. Federal requirements also mandate that as part of the hearing, the Council and public be informed of the range of eligible housing and community development activities that may be funded under the CDBG program. Interested persons may obtain a copy of the Federal eligibility guidelines, available at the City of El Segundo's Department of Planning and Building Safety, during regular business hours. Proposed CDBG Projects and Budgets The proposed 2014 -2015 CDBG allocation for the City of El Segundo is $52,847; a decrease of approximately five percent (5 %) from 2013 -2014 levels. The decrease is due to on -going federal entitlement program funding reductions. This proposed CDBG allocation is a planning estimate only; the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC) will release final appropriations in Spring 2014. The City's final CDBG allocation is generally within 10% of the estimate provided. Prior Year CDBG Action Plan (2013 -2014) In 2013 -2014, the City's annual allocation of CDBG funds supported the removal of existing concrete curbs with steep grades and replacement with American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant wheelchair accessible concrete ramps. Removal of architectural barriers to improve mobility and accessibility of senior adults and severely handicapped persons is an example of an eligible project under the CDBG Program. The CDBG - funded ADA Sidewalk Ramp Improvement project is part of the City's continuing effort to comply with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements that eliminate architectural barriers that impede access to public facilities. Since 2006, More than 300 accessible sidewalk ramps have been installed throughout the City. Recommended 2014 -2015 CDBG Action Plan Staff recommends that the 2014 -2015 CDBG Program Year allocation totaling approximately $52,847 be used to continue the implementation of ADA accessible sidewalk ramps at various intersections throughout the City. 2 11 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 17, 2013 AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Committees, Commissions and Boards AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to open the recruitment process for the positions on the Committees, Commissions and Boards ( "CCBs ") that will expire in the year 2014.

REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager_A BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Surface refurbishment of the City's seven tennis courts in Recreation Park occurs every 6 to 7 years with the last refurbishment occurring in 2006. At this time the center posts for four locations also need to be moved after the resurfacing, on Courts 3, 4, 6, and 7. New sleeves and sleeve anchors would be installed by the contractor. The project would be completely funded by a Los Angeles County Parks Grant, revenue source is 125- 300 -5102 -3614, with available funding approximately $50,400. In 2006, resurfacing of both the basketball and tennis courts cost approximately $32,000 so staff expects the grant funding to be adequate for both construction and contingency costs for just the tennis court refurbishment. Construction would be scheduled to occur after July 4th to allow use of the old tennis court surface for the City's annual fireworks show. Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached resolution, plans and specifications and authorize the project for receipt of constructions bids for tennis court resurfacing at Recreation Park. 61 24 RESOLUTION NO.

Although the project encountered significant delays (primarily due to problems associated with the primary contractor's bankruptcy filing), this successful project has now become heavily used by beachgoers and surfers since opening this past summer. As a recap, the facility provides four public restrooms, a rinse station, a bike pump, a secondary lifeguard look out tower and storage facilities for County lifeguard equipment and vehicles. The project was funded by a generous $1.7 million dollar donation from Supervisor Don Knabe's office on land provided Chevron, and in partnership with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Lifeguard Division, Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbors and NRG Energy. In all, $1,756,534.66 was expended on design plans, engineering, construction, construction oversight, inspections and soils testing. Please note that connection of the facility to a municipal sewer system is still pending and projected to be addressed in 2014 with the help of Chevron and NRG Energy. Staff recommends that City Council accept the project as complete and authorize the City Clerk to file a notice of completion with the County Recorder's office. 27 Recording Requested by and When Recorded Mail To: City Clerk, City Hall 350 Main Street El Segundo, CA 90245 NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT Project Name: Beach Restroom and Lifeguard Facility Project No.: PW 10 -09 Contract No. 4103 Notice is hereby given pursuant to State of California Civil Code Section 3093 et seq that: The undersigned is an officer of the owner of the interest stated below in the property hereinafter described. 2.

Stephanie Katsouleas Public Works Director WQ EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 17, 2013 AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to authorize the City Manager to send a letter to the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) in support of consulting services to prepare plans and specifications for the installation of of bikeways in El Segundo. (Fiscal Impact: None) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Authorize the City Manager to send a letter of support to the South Bay Cities Council of Goverments for consulting services to prepare plans and specifications for the installation of bikeways in El Segundo. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Master Plan of bicycle networks in El Segundo FISCAL IMPACT: None Amount Budgeted: $0 Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A I ORIGINATED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director r REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Managerq� BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On September 21, 2010, City Council adopted a resolution authorizing City staff to participate in the South Bay Regional Bicycle Master Plan planning with the South Bay Bicycle Coalition. The goal of the plan was to create a master plan that would regionally connect South Bay cities through a bicycle network and to encourage the allocation of transportation and grant funds to pedestrian and bicycle networks as they became available. The Bicycle Master Plan was completed in Summer 2011 and was subsequently accepted /approved by Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) on September 19, 2011. This was a necessary step according to the California Streets and Highway Code, Section 891.2, which requires local agencies to prepare and adopt a bicycle master plan that meets the requirements of the Code in order to be eligible for Bicycle Transportation Account grant funds. This summer, El Segundo staff applied for planning, design and preparation of specifications assistance from the Measure R South Bay Highway Program (SBHP) for four high priority bikeway network locations that would serve to connect EL Segundo's high employment centers with alternative forms of transportation (e.g., Metro green line): These locations include • Aviation Blvd, from Imperial Hwy to Rosecrans Ave. 29 • Douglas Street, from Imperial Hwy to Rosecrans Ave. • Nash St., from Imperial Hwy to El Segundo Blvd. • El Segundo Blvd., from Sepulveda Blvd. to Aviation The South Bay Cities Council of Governments ( SBCCOG) administers the Measure R SBHP and has made planning and design consulting services available to local cities in order to jump start highway /freeway congestion relief projects, with the overall goal of getting those projects "shovel ready" for other grant opportunities. To be eligible for Measure R SBHP funding, proposed projects must show a nexus toward alleviating traffic congestion along state highways and freeways. The streets chosen in El Segundo for the installation of bikeways and related facilities supports Metro's "First Mile — Last Mile" objective to create networks and facilities that encourage people to take public transportation in lieu of single car trips and it has the potential to significantly benefit the employees of our large and small businesses. The SBBCOG's services will cover 100% of the cost to create bikeway design plans and specifications and facilities for these four streets so that El Segundo can begin applying to a variety of grantors for construction grants. We also anticipate that by being shovel ready, we will be more competitive in the selection process when grants do become available. Please note that the types of bikeways and related facilities that can be installed on each street has not yet been determined. That will be part of the design, plans and specifications development process, and may include a range of options from dedicated Class I bikeways to shared lanes where appropriate. Lastly, as part of the application process, the SBCCOG requires that the City Manager submit a letter in support of the proposed bikeway projects. Staff therefore recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to submit a letter of support for the design, planning and development of specifications for installation of bikeways and related facilities as described above.

(fiscal impact: none). RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Adopt policy changes detailed in this staff report; and /or 2. Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None FISCAL IMPACT: None Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A ORIGINATED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning and Building Safety 41 REVIEWED BY: 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 Federal and State 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. Since at least 2002, the City's RSI Program also provided for an `Owner Upgrade' policy to allow property owners to pay for requested alternative or additional products beyond what the standard sound insulation elements included. 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 33 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. 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 (LOA for GIP V— February, 2013) 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. LAWA informed City staff that an administrative fee suggested by the City did not address their concerns regarding the Owner Upgrade policy 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. Additional discussions did not produce a mutual agreeable resolution for the Owner Upgrade policy. 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. On November 7, 2013, City representatives met with LAWA staff and received a verbal agreement on the following: o As of November 12, 2013, the City would terminate the Owner Upgrade policy. o The standard RSI improvement that are eligible for FAA and LAWA funding will include repair or replacement of items like damaged window sills, door sills, and other elements that are necessary to perform RSI projects. o Designs and agreements prior to November 12, 2013 will be permitted to proceed under the previous owner upgrade policy in compliance with FAA and LAWA regulations and with the understanding that the homeowner will pay for all non LAWA or FAA eligible costs (materials, labor, etc) Based on these discussions, staff recommends that the City Council approve the changes described above. 34 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA DESCRIPTION: MEETING DATE: December 17, 2013 AGENDA BEADING: Mayor Bill Fisher Consideration and possible action to adopt a resolution expressing full support for the Boeing Company to bring the 777X Jetliner assembly work to Long Beach, California. (Fiscal Impact: None) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Approve the attached resolution: 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Resolution FISCAL IMPACT: $ Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): PREPARED BY: Mishia Jennings, Executive Assistantt� REVIEWED BY: Bill Fisher, Mayor UU APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: Supporting this aerospace program would keep the South Bay region the world leader in design and manufacturing of advanced commercial aircraft. Boeing has delivered 223 Globemaster IIIs (C -17s) to the U.S. Air Force and foreign countries for the last 32 years from its Long Beach facility. The experience of the Boeing Long Beach workers and the local aerospace subcontractors is a treasure of the South Bay region and once lost will never return. Boeing would be able to keep the ability to compete in the world market by bringing the production of Boeing 777X aircraft to the South Bay region. The current local experienced aerospace workforce will help Boeing compete for decades to come. This aircraft production will prevent layoffs, provide new employment and stimulate the entire South Bay region's economy. 10 35 RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING FULL SUPPORT FOR THE BOEING COMPANY TO BRING THE 777X ASSEMBLY WORK TO THE CITY OF LONG BEACH WHEREAS, the Boeing Company is actively considering locations to manufacture its 777x Jetliner, including Alabama, South Carolina and Long Beach; and WHEREAS, historically, Southern California has been the heart of the aerospace industry in this country. Thousands of people who have the know -how and ability to build a world -class airplane reside here. For many years, Boeing has had a significant presence in Long Beach.
