BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Residential parking areas have historically experienced traffic and parking impacts caused by
employees of nearby commercial facilities. The City Council has addressed this issue in the past.
In 1985, the Council commissioned a Neighborhood Traffic Management Study that made many
recommendations including restricted parking times and permit parking requirements. The study
specifically identified certain streets including Acacia Avenue between Center Street and the
easterly terminus; Washington Street between Walnut Avenue and Maple Avenue, Walnut
Avenue between California Street and Washington Street, and California Street between Walnut
Avenue and the alley north of Acacia Avenue. In the early 1990s, the demand for parking
spaces decreased and the permit parking requirements were removed.
In 2012, following a survey by the El Segundo Police Department, it was determined that a
permit parking program was desired by the residents of the Washington Plaza Home Owners
Association and the program was again necessary.
On February 19, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4808 which amended
Resolution No. 3333 and reinstituted the permit parking program on the west curb line of
Washington Street from Maple Avenue to Walnut Avenue; and the south curb line of Walnut
Avenue adjacent the Washington Plaza Home Owners Association property.
Since reinstituting the preferential parking program in 2013, additional complaints and petitions
were filed with the City. As a result, the permit parking zone has been expanded several times,
most recently on November 4, 2014. As a result of Resolution 4890, Zone A currently includes
the west curb line of Washington Street from Maple Avenue to Walnut Avenue, both curb lines
of Walnut Avenue from Washington Street to Center Street, both curb lines of Sycamore Avenue
between Washington Street and California Street (excluding the south curb line directly adjacent
to the public park), and the California Street from Maple Avenue to Acacia Ave (excluding the
east curb line directly adjacent to the public park).
Recently, the City received additional independent petitions and requests to further expand the
permit parking zone to include the 1400 and 1500 blocks of Maple Avenue, the 700 block of
California Street, and the 700 block of Washington Street. The Department of Public Works
verified the signatures on the petitions and the following percentages of residents favored the
implementation of the parking permit program:
1400 and 1500 blocks of Maple Avenue - 57%
700 block of California Street — 78%
700 block of Washington Street — 55%
Based on these efforts, the need to expand the permit program is once again recommended to
include the 1400 and 1500 blocks of Maple Avenue, the 700 block of California Street, and the
700 block of Washington Street.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon receipt of the verified petitions, it is recommended that the City Council adopt a
resolution to again expand the Zone 1 preferential parking area and include the parking permit
12
fee pursuant to the El Segundo Municipal Code. The parking permit for previous districts has
been set at $0.00.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 4890 REGARDING
PREFERENTIAL PARKING AREAS WITHIN THE CITY WHERE
PARKING PERMITS MAY BE USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH EL
SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 8 -5A.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. This Resolution is adopted in accordance with El Segundo Municipal Code
( "ESMC ") Chapter 8 -5A for the purpose of amending Resolution No.
4890, adopted November 4, 2014 which establishes certain "preferential
parking" areas;
B. This Resolution reviewed by the City's Planning and Building Safety
Department for consistency with the circulation element of the General
Plan and conformity with the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
C. The City reviewed this Resolution's environmental impacts under the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et
seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of
Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's
Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted
March 16, 1993);
D. On April 21, 2015, the City Council held a public hearing to receive public
testimony and other evidence regarding, in part, this Resolution including,
without limitation, information provided to the Council by the Police
Department; and
E. This Resolution, and its findings, are made based upon the evidence
presented to the Council at its April 21, 2015, hearing.
SECTION 2: Findings. Pursuant to ESMC § 8 -5A -4, the City Council makes the
following findings:
A. Regular Interference. That nonresident vehicles substantially and regularly
interfere with the use of the majority of parking spaces within Zone 1 (as
defined below). This is primarily attributable to the use of parking spaces
by employees of neighboring businesses;
B. Regular Intervals. Such interference occurs on a daily basis within Zone 1,
14
particularly during work days;
C. Noise. These nonresident vehicles significantly contribute to unreasonable
noise; traffic hazards; and environmental pollution within Zone 1; and
D. Shortage Of Parking Spaces. Residents within Zone 1 are unable to
reasonably and conveniently utilize parking spaces that are adjacent to
their dwelling units.
SECTION 3: Creation of Zone 1 Preferential Parking Area. Pursuant to ESMC § 8 -5A -3,
the City Council amends the Zone 1 Preferential Parking Area which is graphically
depicted in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated by reference, and described as
follows:
"ZONE 1. No parking between the hours of 10:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M.
and between 2:00 P.M. and 3:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, except by
permit on the west curb line of Washington Street (from Oak Avenue to
Walnut Avenue), both curb lines of Walnut Avenue (from Washington
Street to Center Street), both curb lines of Sycamore Avenue (from
Washington Street to California Street; excluding the south curb line
directly adjacent to the public park), both curb lines of California Street
(from Acacia Avenue to Oak Avenue; excluding the east curb line directly
adjacent to the public park), and both curb lines of Maple Avenue (from
Washington Street to California Street)."
SECTION 4: Parking Restrictions. Vehicles parking within Zone 1 must comply with
ESMC Chapter 8 -5A including, without limitation, ESMC § 8- 5A -10. The Police Chief, or
designee, is authorized to enforce this Resolution.
SECTION 5: Permit Fees. Pursuant to ESMC § 8- 5A- 7(A)(4), the City Council
establishes a fee of $0.00 for obtaining a permit pursuant to this Resolution.
SECTION 6: Environmental Assessment. This Resolution is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et
seq.; "CEQA ") and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) in
accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15305 (Class 5 — Minor Alterations in Land Use
Limitations). The project involves a negligible expansion of use; there is only a minor
change in the operation of an existing use. The project would not result in significant
effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality and it can be adequately
served by all required utilities and public services.
SECTION 7: Notification. The Public Works Director, or designee, is authorized to
erect such street signs as are needed to properly notify the general public of the
restrictions on parking in the preferential parking zone created through this Resolution.
2
15
SECTION 8: Supersession. Supersession of previous preferential parking zones does
not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and
imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Resolution's effective date.
Any such superseded part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or
prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.
SECTION 9: Effective Date of this Resolution. This Resolution will become effective
immediately upon adoption and will remain in effect unless repealed or superseded.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of 2015.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Statewide Actions
California is now facing its worst drought on record, with four years of record low rainfall, snow
fall and reservoir storage. The Department of Water Resources (DWR), the agency responsible
for monitoring and recording the state of California's water supplies, has reported that this
current four -year drought is the most severe on record, with only 5% of normal snowpack water
content recorded on April 1 st. The lowest previous reading was in 1977, where the snowpack
water content was then at 25 %. Snowpack represents about 1/3 of California's water supply.
California also recorded the lowest rainfall ever for this past month of January and reservoirs are
down significantly over previous years (see photo below of Oroville Reservoir and Reservoir
Conditions attachment).
Lake Oroville in 2012 and now
To address the drought conditions, state officials have taken a series of progressive measures
over the past year. These include:
• July 15, 2014: The State Water Resource Control Board issues a water conservation
emergency regulation to severely limit outdoor water usage. Following the State Board's
actions, El Segundo created and posted a flier on its website reminding residents to
converse water wherever possible (see attachment). It also added a message to the
bottom of water bills encouraging conservation.
• January, 2015: The Governor's office declared a drought State of Emergency
(proclamation) and directed state officials to take all necessary actions to prepare for
water shortages.
• March 17, 2015: The State Board expanded its July, 2014 emergency regulation by
adding additional prohibitions on outdoor water and commercial use. The State Board's
press release stated:
"We are experiencing the lowest snowpack and the driest January in recorded
history, and communities around the state are already suffering severely from the
prior three years of drought, " said State Water Board Chair Felicia Marcus. "If
the drought continues through next winter and we do not conserve more -- the
consequences could be even more catastrophic than they already are. Today's
action is just a tune -up and a reminder to act, and we will consider more
significant actions in the weeks to come. "
• April 1, 2015: Governor Jerry Brown signed an Executive Order to quickly and more
aggressively address California's severe and prolonged drought, with a goal of reducing
consumption 25% statewide when compared to September, 2013 water use, and a call for
residents to cut water usage by 20% (see additional comments below and attached
Executive Order).
• April 8, 2015: State Board released draft measures to further conserve water and reach
the 25% conservation goal set in the Executive Order. Final approval is expected on May
5, 2015 with implementation effective on June 1, 2015. Many of the state's draft
measures will address landscaping ordinances, protocols for water rights holders,
agriculture, protecting groundwater supplies, efficiency of water appliances, capital
infrastructure investments, new technologies, wildfire prevention, power plant usage, and
streamlining government response /action. The State also set a goal to replace 50 million
sqft of lawns and ornamental grass with drought tolerant landscapes, with grant funding
to be made available. Additional restrictions will apply to commercial, industrial and
institutional sectors that are consistent with the residential sector, in particular cemeteries,
golf courses, campuses, etc.
The State Board has indicated that the overall 25% reduction goal will not be applied evenly
across the state, and that some cities will be required to conserve more than others. It indicated
that cities whose residents have already achieved some level of conservation will be "credited"
while those who have not will be required to conserve more. The 55 gallons /day is
State Board issued a tentative list showing expected conservation
ranges for each municipality, which it tied to a residential the equivalent of
consumption allocation of 55 gallons per capita per day (R- GPCD); 4 units per person
see table below. El Segundo averaged 95.4 R -GPCD in September, per billing cycle
2014 and thus falls into the 20% residential conservation range.

Combined, the State Board's actions are designed to significantly reduce California's water
demand and encourage water conservation to the extent possible. The emergency declarations
also give the City authority to fine property owners $500 per day for conservation violations.
Furthermore, the State Board can issue cease and desist orders to water agencies that do not
implement mandatory conservation measures requirements for their customers. Civil liabilities
of up to $10,000 per day can be imposed by the State Board on cities that violate cease and desist
orders.
El Segundo Consumption and Conservation Actions
Currently, El Segundo is one of the region's most successful municipalities to conserve potable
water, thanks in large part to the location of and partnership with the West Basin Municipal
Water District Water Reclamation Facility and Chevron. In 2014, El Segundo consumed 8000
acre -ft of potable water and 9382 acre -ft of recycled water, revealing that over half of El
Segundo's water consumption (54 %) is from local, non potable sources. While this represents
impressive potable water savings citywide, our residential consumption is still well beyond the
target 55 R -GPCD allocated to meet indoor residential needs. In 2014, El Segundo residents
consumed an average of 90 R -GPCD. This average combines multi - family complexes, which
typically use about 50 R -GPCD, with single family homes, which use upwards of 140 R -GPCD
due to added landscape watering needs.
City facilities use a combination of potable water (61 acre -ft. or 24.4 %) and recycled water (189
acre -ft, or 75.6 %) for buildings, parks, greenbelts and the golf course. The golf course represents
the largest consumer of all city -owned facilities, using 66 acre -ft of recycled water and 24 acre -ft
of potable water. The charts on the next page show the potable and recycled water consumption
rates of all users in El Segundo.
In 2009, during the last significant drought, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1433 adding
Chapter 10 -5: Water Conservation to the El Segundo Municipal Code. The chapter calls for
implementing additional water policies and procedures when a drought occurs, and establishes
water conservation requirements in the event of water shortage. Specific Water Shortage
Contingency Measures (§10-5-22), authorize the City to impose significant restrictions in order
Potable Water Consumption
Recycled Water Consumption
Commercial, City, 2.0%
to comply with those restrictions
imposed by federal, state and /or
regional water agencies. Among other
things, the measures allow the City to:
1. Require all major users to reduce
their usage by the percentage
determined by the City Manager,
necessary to sustain adequate water
supply for the City.
2. Impose additional water surcharges
above and beyond the existing city
water rates on all city water
consumers who fail to abide by the
requirements, restrictions and
priorities set by the City.
3. Suspend all deliveries of water for
construction or grading purposes.
4. Reduce or prohibit water use for
landscape irrigation purposes.
5. Initiate or implement other
innovative actions to conserve
and /or increase water supply.
The Code also allows the City Manager
to grant relief to users if it's determined
necessary to prevent an emergency or if
the user has already demonstrated
significant water savings that achieve
the intent of the Code. Lastly, the
Water Conservation Code provides that
at least one written warning must be
provided for the first violation prior to
any other actions taken by the Code
Enforcement Officer.
Potable and Recycled Water User Distribution On the education front, El Segundo has
placed water conservation messages on
all water bills, run full page messages
in the City's quarterly recreational brochures and posted water conservation information on the
website homepage.
Following is a summary of El Segundo's current water conservation ordinance /measures
compared to those called for in the Executive Order and State of Emergency declarations. In
many cases, El Segundo's measures either match or go beyond the State measures.
x Washing down your driveway and sidewalk
x x Over - watering your yard and landscaping, allowing excess water to run off
x x Overspraying of landscaping
x Watering during the daytime. Watering is limited to 15 minutes, between 5:00
p.m. — 9:00 a.m. unless certain irrigation devices are installed.
x Watering more than twice a week.
Washing any vehicle, equipment, machinery, building or structure unless the hose
x x has a shut -off nozzle
x x Using water in a fountain or other decorative water feature unless it is outfitted
with a recirculating pump
x x Serving water to patrons unless specifically requested
x Indiscriminately using running water which is wasteful and without reasonable
purpose
x Emptying pools and spas and refilling them, unless to address structural damage
or comply with public health code
x Using water for irrigation within 48 hours following measurable rainfall
x Watering ornamental turf on medians with potable water
x Water leaks, once discovered, must be repaired within 48 hours
x x Hotels must provide guest the option to reuse their towels and linens
Report on water use monthly (permanently)
Report on compliance and enforcement activities (new)
Notify customers of leaks, if discovered (staff does this)
Impose restrictions on outdoor water use (many measures already in place)
Require drip irrigation or microspray for landscaping of all newly constructed homes (new)
Develop a rate structure to maximize water conservation (fees, penalties, surcharges) — (in place)
Code Modifications and Enhanced Programs
The City will need to modify some of its water conservation measures to bring them into full
compliance with those called for by the state. These include:
• Eliminate all washing/hosing down of sidewalks and driveways. Currently our code
allows it if water does not reach the storm drain.
• Limit watering to two (2) days per week. Currently there are no restrictions on how many
days residents can water their lawns. Two specific days should be chosen to allow for
proper education and enforcement. Staff recommends Monday and Thursday.
• Prohibit landscape watering within 48 hours before or after predicted rainfall. The
Code only restricts watering during rainfall.
• Prohibit watering of landscape medians with ornamental turf unless using recycled
water. This can easily be implemented by a change in the City's own policy.
• Revise the building code to allow only drip irrigation or microspray for landscaping of
newly constructed homes. Our code does not currently have this requirement.
The City should also enhance its outreach programs to target high users with specific
conservation messages based on their water consumption habits. We can accomplish this by
evaluating water bills and utilizing tailored informational outreach like the Home Water Report
(see attached sample), which incorporates individual housing and landscape data into the City's
outreach materials. Additionally, we can do more to promote native landscaping and turf
replacement programs through our website, ESTV, community brochures, counters and website.
We can also promote brown as the new green in landscaping. Lastly, we can investigate, expand
and promote recycled water use wherever practical through our partnership with West Basin.
In summary, Staff recommends that City Council direct staff to prepare an ordinance
incorporating the five proposed modifications listed above to the El Segundo Municipal Code
and support enhanced outreach efforts. Staff will evaluate the funding needed and return with
specific outreach objectives following the State Board's final approval of additional conservation
measures (expected on May 5, 2015).

A PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY (January 2014)
WHEREAS the State of California is experiencing record dry conditions, with 2014 projected to
become the driest year on record; and
WHEREAS the state's water supplies have dipped to alarming levels, indicated by: snowpack in
California's mountains is approximately 20 percent of the normal average for this date;
California's largest water reservoirs have very low water levels for this time of year; California's
major river systems, including the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, have significantly reduced
surface water flows; and groundwater levels throughout the state have dropped significantly; and
WHEREAS dry conditions and lack of precipitation present urgent problems: drinking water
supplies are at risk in many California communities; fewer crops can be cultivated and farmers'
long -term investments are put at risk; low - income communities heavily dependent on
agricultural employment will suffer heightened unemployment and economic hardship; animals
and plants that rely on California's rivers, including many species in danger of extinction, will be
threatened; and the risk of wildfires across the state is greatly increased; and
WHEREAS extremely dry conditions have persisted since 2012 and may continue beyond this
year and more regularly into the future, based on scientific projections regarding the impact of
climate change on California's snowpack; and
WHEREAS the magnitude of the severe drought conditions presents threats beyond the control
of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of any single local government and require
the combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to combat; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of section 8558(b) of the California Government Code, I find
that conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property exist in California due to
water shortage and drought conditions with which local authority is unable to cope.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor of the State of California, in
accordance with the authority vested in me by the state Constitution and statutes, including the
California Emergency Services Act, and in particular, section 8625 of the California Government
Code HEREBY PROCLAIM A STATE OF EMERGENCY to exist in the State of California
due to current drought conditions.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
State agencies, led by the Department of Water Resources, will execute a statewide water
conservation campaign to make all Californians aware of the drought and encourage personal
actions to reduce water usage. This campaign will be built on the existing Save Our Water
campaign (www.saveourh2O.org) and will coordinate with local water agencies. This
campaign will call on Californians to reduce their water usage by 20 percent.
2. Local urban water suppliers and municipalities are called upon to implement their local water
shortage contingency plans immediately in order to avoid or forestall outright restrictions that
could become necessary later in the drought season. Local water agencies should also update
their legally required urban and agricultural water management plans, which help plan for
extended drought conditions. The Department of Water Resources will make the status of
these updates publicly available.
3. State agencies, led by the Department of General Services, will immediately implement
water use reduction plans for all state facilities. These plans will include immediate water
conservation actions, and a moratorium will be placed on new, non - essential landscaping
projects at state facilities and on state highways and roads.
4. The Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources Control Board (Water
Board) will expedite the processing of water transfers, as called for in Executive Order B -21-
13. Voluntary water transfers from one water right holder to another enables water to flow
where it is needed most.
5. The Water Board will immediately consider petitions requesting consolidation of the places
of use of the State Water Project and Federal Central Valley Project, which would streamline
water transfers and exchanges between water users within the areas of these two major water
proj ects.
6. The Department of Water Resources and the Water Board will accelerate funding for water
supply enhancement projects that can break ground this year and will explore if any existing
unspent funds can be repurposed to enable near -term water conservation projects.
7. The Water Board will put water right holders throughout the state on notice that they may be
directed to cease or reduce water diversions based on water shortages.
8. The Water Board will consider modifying requirements for reservoir releases or diversion
limitations, where existing requirements were established to implement a water quality
control plan. These changes would enable water to be conserved upstream later in the year to
protect cold water pools for salmon and steelhead, maintain water supply, and improve water
quality.
9. The Department of Water Resources and the Water Board will take actions necessary to
make water immediately available, and, for purposes of carrying out directives 5 and 8,
Water Code section 13247 and Division 13 (commencing with section 21000) of the Public
Resources Code and regulations adopted pursuant to that Division are suspended on the basis
that strict compliance with them will prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of
the emergency. Department of Water Resources and the Water Board shall maintain on their
websites a list of the activities or approvals for which these provisions are suspended.
10. The state's Drinking Water Program will work with local agencies to identify communities
that may run out of drinking water, and will provide technical and financial assistance to help
these communities address drinking water shortages. It will also identify emergency
interconnections that exist among the state's public water systems that can help these
threatened communities.
11. The Department of Water Resources will evaluate changing groundwater levels, land
subsidence, and agricultural land fallowing as the drought persists and will provide a public
update by April 30 that identifies groundwater basins with water shortages and details gaps in
groundwater monitoring.
12. The Department of Water Resources will work with counties to help ensure that well drillers
submit required groundwater well logs for newly constructed and deepened wells in a timely
manner and the Office of Emergency Services will work with local authorities to enable early
notice of areas experiencing problems with residential groundwater sources.
13. The California Department of Food and Agriculture will launch a one -stop website
(www.edfa.ca.gov /drought) that provides timely updates on the drought and connects farmers
to state and federal programs that they can access during the drought.
14. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will evaluate and manage the changing impacts of
drought on threatened and endangered species and species of special concern, and develop
contingency plans for state Wildlife Areas and Ecological Reserves to manage reduced water
resources in the public interest.
15. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will work with the Fish and Game Commission, using
the best available science, to determine whether restricting fishing in certain areas will
become necessary and prudent as drought conditions persist.
16. The Department of Water Resources will take necessary actions to protect water quality and
water supply in the Delta, including installation of temporary barriers or temporary water
supply connections as needed, and will coordinate with the Department of Fish and Wildlife
to minimize impacts to affected aquatic species.
17. The Department of Water Resources will refine its seasonal climate forecasting and drought
prediction by advancing new methodologies piloted in 2013.
18. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection will hire additional seasonal
firefighters to suppress wildfires and take other needed actions to protect public safety during
this time of elevated fire risk.
19. The state's Drought Task Force will immediately develop a plan that can be executed as
needed to provide emergency food supplies, financial assistance, and unemployment services
in communities that suffer high levels of unemployment from the drought.
20. The Drought Task Force will monitor drought impacts on a daily basis and will advise me of
subsequent actions that should be taken if drought conditions worsen.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Proclamation be filed in the
Office of the Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this
Proclamation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State
of California to be affixed this 17th day of January, 2014.

throughout the State of California due to severe drought conditions; and
WHEREAS on April 25, 2014, 1 proclaimed a Continued State of Emergency
to exist throughout the State of California due to the ongoing drought; and
WHEREAS California's water supplies continue to be severely depleted
despite a limited amount of rain and snowfall this winter, with record low snowpack
in the Sierra Nevada mountains, decreased water levels in most of California's
reservoirs, reduced flows in the state's rivers and shrinking supplies in underground
water basins; and
WHEREAS the severe drought conditions continue to present urgent
challenges including: drinking water shortages in communities across the state,
diminished water for agricultural production, degraded habitat for many fish and
wildlife species, increased wildfire risk, and the threat of saltwater contamination to
fresh water supplies in the Sacramento -San Joaquin Bay Delta; and
WHEREAS a distinct possibility exists that the current drought will stretch into
a fifth straight year in 2016 and beyond; and
WHEREAS new expedited actions are needed to reduce the harmful impacts
from water shortages and other impacts of the drought; and
WHEREAS the magnitude of the severe drought conditions continues to
present threats beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and
facilities of any single local government and require the combined forces of a mutual
aid region or regions to combat; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of section 8558(b) of the Government Code,
I find that conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property continue
to exist in California due to water shortage and drought conditions with which local
authority is unable to cope; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of section 8571 of the California
Government Code, I find that strict compliance with various statutes and regulations
specified in this order would prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of
the drought,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor of the State of
California, in accordance with the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
statutes of the State of California, in particular Government Code sections 8567 and
8571 of the California Government Code, do hereby issue this Executive Order,
effective immediately.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. The orders and provisions contained in my January 17, 2014 Proclamation,
my April 25, 2014 Proclamation, and Executive Orders B -26 -14 and B -26 -14
remain in full force and effect except as modified herein.
SAVE WATER
2. The State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) shall Impose
restrictions to achieve a statewide 25% reduction in potable urban water
usage through February 28, 2016. These restrictions will require water
suppliers to California's cities and towns to reduce usage as compared to the
amount used in 2013. These restrictions should consider the relative per
capita water usage of each water suppliers' service area, and require that
those areas with high per capita use achieve proportionally greater reductions
than those with low use. The California Public Utilities Commission is
requested to take similar action with respect to Investor -owned utilities
providing water services.
3. The Department of Water Resources (the Department) shall lead a statewide
initiative, in partnership with local agencies, to collectively replace 50 million
square feet of lawns and ornamental turf with drought tolerant landscapes.
The Department shall provide funding to allow for lawn replacement programs
in underserved communities, which will complement local programs already
underway across the state.
4. The California Energy Commission, jointly with the Department and the Water
Board, shall implement a time - limited statewide appliance rebate program to
provide monetary incentives for the replacement of inefficient household
devices.
5. The Water Board shall impose restrictions to require that commercial,
industrial, and institutional properties, such as campuses, golf courses, and
cemeteries, immediately implement water efficiency measures to reduce
potable water usage in an amount consistent with the reduction targets
mandated by Directive 2 of this Executive Order.
6. The Water Board shall prohibit irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf
on public street medians.
7. The Water Board shall prohibit irrigation with potable water outside of newly
constructed homes and buildings that is not delivered by drip or microspray
systems.
8. The Water Board shall direct urban water suppliers to develop rate structures
and other pricing mechanisms, including but not limited to surcharges, fees,
and penalties, to maximize water conservation consistent with statewide
water restrictions. The Water Board is directed to adopt emergency
regulations, as it deems necessary, pursuant to Water Code section 1058.5 to
implement this directive. The Water Board Is further directed to work with
state agencies and water suppliers to identify mechanisms that would
encourage and facilitate the adoption of rate structures and other pricing
mechanisms that promote water conservation. The California Public Utilities
Commission is requested to take similar action with respect to Investor -owned
utilities providing water services.
INCREASE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST WATER WASTE
9. The Water Board shall require urban water suppliers to provide monthly
information on water usage, conservation, and enforcement on a permanent
basis.
10. The Water Board shall require frequent reporting of water diversion and use
by water right holders, conduct inspections to determine whether illegal
diversions or wasteful and unreasonable use of water are occurring, and bring
enforcement actions against illegal diverters and those engaging in the
wasteful and unreasonable use of water. Pursuant to Government Code
sections 8570 and 8827, the Water Board is granted authority to inspect
property or diversion facilities to ascertain compliance.with water rights laws
and regulations where there is cause to believe such laws and regulations
have been violated. When access is not granted by a property owner, the
Water Board may obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to the procedures set
forth in Title 13 (commencing with section 1822.50) of Part 3 of the Code of
Civil Procedure for the purposes of conducting an inspection pursuant to this
directive.
11. The Department shall update the State Model Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance through expedited regulation. This updated Ordinance shall
increase water efficiency standards for new and existing landscapes through
more efficient irrigation systems, greywater usage, onsite storm water
capture, and by limiting the portion of landscapes that can be covered in turf.
It will also require reporting on the implementation and enforcement of local
ordinances, with required reports due by December 31, 2015. The
Department shall provide information on local compliance to the Water Board,
which shall consider adopting regulations or taking appropriate enforcement
actions to promote compliance. The Department shall provide technical
assistance and give priority in grant funding to public agencies for actions
necessary to comply with local ordinances.
12. Agricultural water suppliers that supply water to more than 25,000 acres shall
include in their required 2015 Agricultural Water Management Plans a
detailed drought management plan that describes, the actions and measures
the supplier will take to manage water demand during drought. The
Department shall require those plans to include quantification of water
supplies and demands for 2013, 2014, and 2015 to the extent data is
available. The Department will provide technical assistance to water
suppliers in preparing the plans.
ti
13, Agricultural water suppliers that supply water to 10,000 to 25,000 acres of
irrigated lands shall develop Agricultural Water Management Plans and
submit the plans to the Department by July 1, 2016, These plans shall
include a detailed drought management plan and quantification of water
supplies and demands in 2013, 2014, and 2015, to the extent that data is
available. The Department shall give priority in grant funding to agricultural
water suppliers that supply water to 10,000 to 25,000 acres of land for
development and implementation of Agricultural Water Management Plans.
14, The Department shall report to Water Board on the status of the Agricultural
Water Management Plan submittals within one month of receipt of those
reports.
15. Local water agencies in high and medium priority groundwater basins shall
Immediately implement all requirements of the California Statewide
Groundwater Elevation Monitoring Program pursuant to Water Code section
10933, The Department shall refer noncompliant local water agencies within
high and medium priority groundwater basins to the Water Board by
December 31, 2015, which shall consider adopting regulations or taking
appropriate enforcement to promote compliance,
16. The California Energy Commission shall adopt emergency regulations
establishing standards that improve the efficiency of water appliances,
Including toilets, urinals, and faucets available for sale and installation in new
and existing buildings.
INVEST IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES
17. The California Energy Commission, jointly with the Department and the Water

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 21, 2015
AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to adopt a Resolution approving Plans and
Specifications for the FY 14/15 and 15/16 Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter Replacement
Project. Project No. PW 14 -16 (Fiscal Impact: $500,000.00)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

3. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible actions related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
Resolution
FISCAL IMPACT: Included in Adopted Budget
Amount Budgeted: $500,000.00
Additional Appropriation: No
Account Number(s): 301 - 400 - 8203 -8705 (Capital Improvement Fund)
ORIGINATED BY: Floriza Rivera, Principal Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager,
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Based on staff observations and public requests, Public Works staff develops and maintains a
priority list of defective sidewalks, curbs and gutters throughout the city that are in need of
concrete repair. A majority of these locations are sidewalk, curb, gutter, and pavement areas that
have been uplifted by tree roots. They present a potential liability and public safety issue as well
as often impede proper drainage at the curb line. This year, the city allocated $500,000 to
address the City's highest priority repairs, provided that no other work is required first on any
private property adjacent to the area to be repaired. Staff will implement the overall project in
two phases. The first phase will address the needed sidewalk, curb and gutter repairs located
within the upcoming slurry seal zone (northwest quadrant), and the second phase will address
needed repairs located outside the slurry zone. This will ensure a uniform asphalt look for
concrete work that will affect the curb, gutter and adjacent pavement.
Funding in the amount of $500,000 for the FY 14/15 Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter Replacement
Project is available from Capital Improvement Fund. Staff therefore recommends that City
Council approve a resolution adopting the plans and specifications and authorize the project for
receipt of construction bids. Implementation of the first phase of this project is expected to
�commence in July, 2015, with the balance of the work occurring August through October.

2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible actions related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
Location Map
FISCAL IMPACT: Included in Adopted Budget
Amount Budgeted: $48,000
Additional Appropriation: No
Account Number(s): 111 - 400 - 2781 -8499 (Community Development Block Grant:
Capital Projects)
ORIGINATED BY: Floriza Rivera, Principal Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Wo ks Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City of El Segundo qualifies each year for Federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds. The program supports local community development projects that support
national objectives, such as benefiting low and moderate income persons, addressing slums or
blight, and /or meeting a particular urgent community development need. Eligible projects
include the installation of curb ramps that meet the current guidelines of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The City's specific project includes installation of new ADA
ramps at ten (10) locations within the City (see attached location map).
On February 17, 2015, the City Council adopted the plans and specifications for Project No. PW
14 -09, ADA Ramp Installation Project, CDBG Project 601711 -14, and authorized staff to
advertise for receipt of construction bids. A bid opening was held on April 14, 2015. The City
Clerk received and opened three bids as listed on the next page:
Wb
e
Contractor
Bid
Rojas Construction $21,000
CT &C, Inc $30,600
EBS General Engineering $34,800
Six (6) locations were listed as base bid construction items at a cost of $21,000 and the
remaining seven (7) were listed as alternate bid items. Staff proposes to construct four additional
alternate items since the project budget is $48,000. The base bid is $21,000, and Alternate Bid
Items 1 through 4 are bid at $5,000 each, resulting in a project cost of $41,000 with a $7,000
amount to be used for a 14.5% contingency. The summary of proposed construction costs are as
follows:
Proposed Construction Cost
Original Base Bid (six items) $21,000
Alternate Bid $20,000
Contingency Amount 04.5 %0) +$ 7,000
Total Proposed Construction Cost $48,000
Staff has verified the references and contractor license status of Rojas Construction. Their
contractor license is current and their past performance on concrete projects of similar size and
scope is satisfactory.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council award a standard public works contract to Rojas
Construction in the amount of $41,000 and authorize an additional contingency of $7,000
(14.5 %) for potential change orders and unforeseen conditions. Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds from Program Year 2014 -2015 in the amount of $48,000 are available for
this project.
The tentative project schedule is:

ORIGINATED BY: Lifan Xu, Principal Civil Engineer L�
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Wkoks Directo
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
43
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, over the past several years staff has implemented 3,400 ft of open trench
repairs, 5,600 ft of sewer lining repairs and 1500 ft of sewer main upgrades throughout the City.
Please note that staff evaluates the condition of each priority segment of sewer mains each year
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 possible options in the most cost - effective manner.
Staff is now ready to proceed with the required open trench repairs scheduled for this year. The
repairs are predominantly located in the western residential areas of El Segundo, with a total
repaired length of approximately 4,000 ft (see attached map of project area.) Please note that
staff prepared plans for and bid out work valued at more than that covered by the adopted
budget. This is because staff felt it prudent to advance additional priority sewer main repairs that
are located in the upcoming slurry area. There are sufficient funds in the sewer enterprise fund
to cover the cost of this additional work. The project also includes installation of a new,
strategically located, storm drain catch basin and 40 ft of storm drain inlet connecting pipe on
Holly St (west of Richmond), which will help alleviate storm water "flash flood" drainage
problems that arise when heavy rain falls over short durations. The storm drain work was not
originally included in the adopted budget but is necessary to prevent future flood damage to
private property.
On September 16, 2014, City Council adopted plans and specifications for the Sewer Main
Improvement (Project No. PW13 -24) and authorized staff to advertise the project for receipt of
construction bids. The project was advertised in El Segundo Herald and other publications on
March 5 and March 12. On March 24, 2015, the City Clerk received and opened seven (7) bids
as follows:
1.
Vasilj Inc.
$975,426.00 (Withdrew due to a clerical error)
2.
Lucas Builders, Inc.
$1,221,555.00
3.
Toro Enterprises, Inc.
$1,269,096.00
4.
GRFCO, Inc.
$1,350,645.00
5.
MNR Construction, Inc.
$1,541,240.00
6.
Blois Construction, Inc.
$1,764,980.00
7.
Ramona, Inc.
$2,101,130.00
The apparent low bidder, Vailj Inc., withdrew its bid due to a significant clerical error. The
lowest responsible bidder was therefore Lucas Builders, Inc. Staff checked references and the
contractor's license status. Lucas Builders, Inc. has satisfactorily completed similar projects for
other public agencies. The bid amount of $1,221,555.00 is below the engineering cost estimate of
$1,500,000 for the proposed work.
Staff therefore recommends that City Council:
1) Award a standard public works contract to Lucas Builders, Inc. in the amount of
$1,221,555.00 with an additional $183,233.00 for construction - related contingencies.
..
2) Award a professional services agreement to AKM Consulting Engineers to provide
construction inspection for the Project in the amount of $118,940 with an additional $10,000
for contingencies.
3) Approve an appropriation of $21,120 from General Fund for construction of the new storm
drain catch basin and storm drain inlet on Holly St.
4) Authorize an additional appropriation of $512,608.25 from Sewer Enterprise Fund for the
project.
Any unspent sewer fund will go back to the Sewer Enterprise Fund and /or General Fund (as
appropriate) at the end of the project. Staff estimates the following timeline for the project:
May, 2015 Mobilization
June, 2015 Start Construction
October, 2015 Complete Project /Closeout

in January and designs for the repair, which included three primary options, were submitted at
the end of February to Public Works. The plans immediately went into planning and building

ORDINANCE NO. 1505
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CORPORATE CAMPUS
SPECIFIC PLAN (AMENDMENT NO. SPA 14 -02) FOR THE
LAKERS PROJECT.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
A. In 2002, the City Council adopted the Corporate Campus Specific
Plan ( "CCSP "). The CCSP was subsequently amended in 2013 and 2014;
B. On September 2, 2014, LAL Property, LLC filed an application for a
further amendment to the CCSP in order to accommodate a new facility
used by the Los Angeles Lakers and its affiliates. The City identified the
application as Environmental Assessment No. EA -1082; Specific Plan
Amendment No. SPA 14 -02, and Parking Demand Study No. PDS 14 -01
(collectively, the "takers Project ");
C. The Lakers Project was reviewed by the City's Planning and
Building Safety Department for, in part, consistency with the General Plan,
Corporate Campus Specific Plan, and conformity with the El Segundo
Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
D. In addition, the City reviewed the Lakers project's environmental
impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder
(14 Cal. Code of Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "),
and the City's Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No.
3805, adopted March 16, 1993);
E. On March 18, 2015, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution
No. 2769 recommending that the City Council adopt this Ordinance; and
F. This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire
administrative record including, without limitation, the public hearing held
by the City Council on April 7, 2015.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. City Council Resolution No. 4909
adopted an Addendum and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) for
the Lakers Project which, among other things, properly assesses the
environmental impact of this Ordinance in accordance with CEQA. This
Ordinance incorporates by reference the environmental findings and analysis set
forth in Resolution No. 4909.
.K
SECTION 3: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds and
declares that the factual findings and conclusions set forth in Resolution No.
4909, adopted on April 7, 2015 are incorporated as if fully set forth.
SECTION 4: Corporate Campus Specific Plan Amendment Findings. Pursuant to
ESMC Chapter 15 -26, and based on the factual findings of Resolution No. 4909,
the proposed Corporate Campus Specific Plan Amendment is desirable to
implement the Project and to amend the Corporate Campus Specific Plan
(CCSP) development standards relating to land subdivision and lot development,
permitted uses, parking, and sign improvements. Specifically, the CCSP
Amendment includes:
A. An amendment to CCSP § V(A) to add combined offices, athletic
training facilities, and exhibition venues for professional sports as a
permitted use;
B. An amendment to CCSP § V(F)(10)(a) and V(F)(10)(b) to establish
parking requirements for combined offices, athletic training facilities, and
exhibition venues for professional sports teams through a parking demand
study;
C. An amendment to CCSP § V(F)(11)(c) to add athletic training
facilities and exhibition venues for professional sports teams to the list of
Specific Plan non -office uses in determining the minimum and maximum
floor area by use; and
D. An amendment to CCSP § V(F)(12) to add definitions and
permitted signs for combined offices, athletic training facilities, and
exhibition venues for professional sports teams.
SECTION 5: Approvals. Subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth in
attached Exhibit 'A," which are incorporated by reference, the City Council
amends the Development Standards of the Corporate Campus Specific Plan as
set forth in attached Exhibit "B," which is adopted by reference. Other than as
amended by Exhibit B, the CCSP remains in full force and effect.
SECTION 6: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial
evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the
project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and
determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely
supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 7: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the
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
i
61
of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project
is the City Council's knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts
have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the
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 8: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the
findings which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the
record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an
indication that a particular finding, is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 9: Effectiveness of CCSP.
the CCSP will not affect any penalt
preclude prosecution and impositior
before this Ordinance's effective date
force and effect for sustaining action
the effective date of this Ordinance.
Repeal or amendment of any provision of
forfeiture, or liability incurred before or
of penalties for any violation occurring
Any such repealed part will remain in full
or prosecuting violations occurring before
SECTION 10: Memorialization. The City Clerk is directed to certify the
passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El
Segundo's book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption
in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and
adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with
California law.
SECTION 11: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is
deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that
such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or
applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 12: Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective on the
thirty -first (31 st) day following its passage and adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this _ day of April 2015.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2015
AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding adopting of an ordinance to modify El
Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") Chapter 1 -7C, to include "public projects" which
will help facilitate the timely bidding, contracting, and completion of most public
projects. (Fiscal Impact: $0)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Waive second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1506 amending ESMC Chapter 1-
7C to extend the City's election under the Uniform Public Construction Cost
Accounting Act to all forms of "public projects" as defined in Public Contract Code §
22002(c).
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
Proposed Ordinance No. 1506
FISCAL IMPACT: None
Amount Budgeted: $0
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director45 %
REVIEWED BY: Gregg Kovacevich, Assistant City Attorney
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On April 7, 2015 the City Council introduced and approved a resolution to approve an ordinance
amending the El Segundo Municipal code addressing how public projects are bid and awarded.
The proposed amendments provide greater flexibility to the Public Works Department to more
quickly carry out public projects valued at under $45,000. The proposed amendments include:
• Incorporating the definition of "Public Project" as defined in Public Contract Code §
22002(c) into El Segundo's Municipal Code.
• Allowing projects valued at under $45,000 to be implemented using force account (staff
resources), negotiated contract and /or purchase order in lieu of requiring formal bid and
award procedures; Public projects of $175,000 or less may be let to contract using
informal bidding procedures set forth in the Act while public projects of greater than
$175,000 must be formally bid under Public Contracting Code guidelines.
• Raising the signature authority of the City Manager from $5,000 to $45,000 to execute
contracts for public projects. 12
• Raising the threshold for when a bid security is required from $30,000 to $45,000.
• Delegating authority to the Director of Public Works to adopt plans and specifications
while still maintaining the design immunity defense.
To recap, the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act ( UPCCAA; Public Contract
Code § 22000, et seq.) provides great bidding and award flexibilities for public projects if an
agency (1) adopts a resolution electing to become subject to the UPCCAA and notified the State
Controller of said election, and (2) adopts an ordinance enacting the informal bidding
requirements set forth in the UPCCAA. Qualifying agencies may utilize informal bidding
procedures of the UPCCAA in lieu of the formal bidding procedures of the Public Contract Code
provided they subscribe to uniform construction cost account policies and procedures developed
by the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance
No. 1506 amending El Segundo Municipal Code Chapter 1 -7C to become subject to the
UPCCAA for public projects as defined in Public Contract Code § 22002(c), which in turn
allows for greater flexibilities in implementing those public projects.
VA
ORDINANCE NO. 1506
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 1 -7C REGARDING INFORMAL BIDDING OF PUBLIC
WORKS PROJECTS.
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. On January 17, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4449
wherein the City elected to become subject to the Uniform Public
Construction Cost Accounting Act (Public Contract Code §§ 22000, et
seq.) for purposes of contracting "maintenance work" as defined in Public
Contract Code § 22002(d).
B. By Resolution No. 4911 adopted April 7, 2015, the City Council elected to
become subject to the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act
for purposes of all "public projects" as defined therein.
C. The City would like to take advantage of the informal bidding procedures
set forth in the Act as they apply to "public projects" as defined in Public
Contract Code § 22002(c).
D. It is in the public interest to make the informal bidding procedures
applicable to public projects to ensure faster processing time, greater
efficiency, and maximum cost savings in the letting of public works
contracts.
E. In the interests of efficiency and ensuring quicker procurement time for
smaller public works projects and related contracts, it is necessary to
increase the City Manager's discretionary authority to solicit bids and
award contracts without prior City Council approval.
F. In the interest of ensuring efficiency and maximum cost savings for
smaller public works projects, it is necessary to raise the cost threshold for
requiring bid security in conjunction with such projects while still
preserving the city manager's discretion to require bid security whenever
the director believes such security is needed to protect the City's interests.
SECTION : El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") § 1 -7C -3 is amended to read as
follows:
"1 -7C -3: DEFINTIONS:
Page 1 of 4
Unless the contrary is stated or clearly appears from the context, the
definitions in Public Contract Code § 22002 and set forth below will govern
the construction of the words and phrases used in this chapter:
CITY MANAGER: The city manager or designee."
SECTION 3: ESMC § 1 -7C -4 is amended to read as follows:
"1 -7C -4: SOLICITING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACTS:
The city manager may solicit bids, award contracts, and execute contracts
for public projects up to forty -five thousand dollars ($45,000). Contracts
for public projects costing more than forty -five thousand dollars ($45,000)
must be awarded by the city council."
SECTION 4: ESMC § 1 -7C -7 is amended to read as follows:
"1 -7C -7: BID SECURITY:
A. Bid security is required for all bids on public projects when the city
manager estimates that the price will exceed forty -five thousand dollars
($45,000). Bid security may be a bond issued by a licensed and duly
qualified corporate surety, or the equivalent in cash, money order,
cashier's check, certified check, unconditional letter of credit, or other form
approved by the city attorney. Nothing in this section prevents the city
from requiring bid security on public projects of forty -five thousand dollars
($45,000) or less when the city manager believes such security is needed
to protect the city's interests.
B. Bid security must equal at least ten percent (10 %) of the bid
amount.
C. If the notice inviting bids requires a bid security, noncompliance or
defective, inadequate, or incomplete security will render the bid
nonresponsive.
D. Bid security will be forfeited or paid to the city should the bidder fail
to execute a contract within the time specified in the notice inviting bids."
SECTION 5: Section 1 -7C -11 is hereby added to Chapter 1 -7C of the ESMC to
read as follows:
"1- 7C -11: DESIGN APPROVAL:
The Public Works Director is authorized to approve designs for purposes
of design immunity pursuant to Government Code section 830.6. Nothing
Page 2 of 4
:E
in this Section is intended to, nor will it, preclude the City Council from
separately or additionally approving designs for purposes of design
immunity pursuant to Government Code section 830.6."
SECTION 6: Environmental Review. This ordinance is exempt from additional
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public
Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ") and CEQA regulations (14 California Code
of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes rules and procedures to permit
operation of existing facilities; consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to

REVIEWED BY: Mitch Tavera, Chief of Police ` _6
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At the Strategic Planning session on August 16, 2012, staff presented a long term vision for fiber
optic connectivity in El Segundo. A multi -part program was proposed with two immediate
phases that would lay the foundation for a later "Dark Fiber" phase in the Smoky Hollow area.
Staff was given direction to proceed with first two phases of the installation of the fiber optic
network.
Phase one connected the City owned buildings west of Sepulveda Boulevard and was completed
on March 18, 2014. On February 17, 2015, the City Council awarded a contract for the second
phase to install fiber optic cable to the city facilities east of Sepulveda Boulevard. This phase is
currently under construction and will be complete before the end of the fiscal year.
The next portion of the fiber optic program involves the construction of a fiber optic network in
the Smoky Hollow area and eastern section of town. A fiber optic network with unused capacity
13
that is leased to clients is typically called a "Dark Fiber" network. The City's "Dark Fiber"
network is expected to be a self - sufficient enterprise program after initial seed funding. Early
installations at strategically located areas will create a revenue stream to generate future cash
flows for network expansion.
The proposed network will serve to connect property owners and tenants into one of three data
centers in town, connect multiple buildings locations together, or potentially acquire Internet
access from the City. If undertaken, this phase will be a multi -year project and involve millions
of dollars in construction costs. It is anticipated that the system will be self - funding with early
revenues being invested back into future construction.
The primary goal of the program is to provide a supporting role in the redevelopment of the
Smoky Hollow area by attracting creative and technology related companies. A recent Technical
Advisors Panel in 2012 found lack of fiber optic infrastructure to be a key obstacle to overcome
in the revival of Smoky Hollow. Creating a "Dark Fiber" network will help to promote economic
development in the area and move the City closer to extending "Silicon Beach" south into El
Segundo.
Other local cities have already been down this path. Santa Monica and Pasadena both have
extremely robust fiber optic networks. The network in Pasadena has one large customer, JPL
who provides a large portion of the ongoing funding. This one customer has allowed other
customers to leverage the existing pathway that they otherwise would not have been able to
afford. Santa Monica has been building their fiber optic network over the last twenty years. Santa
Monica created an open trench policy to install fiber optic conduit whenever construction
occurred on key streets. Santa Monica also reinvested all communication charges that were
reduced from the use of fiber optics back into the construction of their network.
If we do not move forward, private carriers will potentially build out the network over time.
However, with the composition of the businesses currently in the area, the return on investment
currently does not exist for a private company to construct a network. Private companies
typically look to a three to five year ROI for new build outs.
To determine the likelihood of successfully establishing a program, staff reached out to two
consultants who perform fiber optic feasibility studies. Staff contacted Magellan Advisors and
Uptown Services. Both vendors have completed feasibility studies for many other municipalities,
counties and states. Uptown Services has recently completed a study for Pasadena and won a
recent bid for Beverly Hills. Magellan Advisors has performed work for the City of Woodland
and the City of Riverside.
Staff met with each vendor and discussed our existing infrastructure, gave a history of the
proposed project, and explained local conditions. In these meeting staff also expressed a desire to
phase in the construction by taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. Both vendors
provided a clear proposal at a total cost of $35,000.
Both vendors recommended roughly the same approach to the study.
• Interview key business stakeholders
• Search for synergies (School District, SCADA, Meter Reading, Wireless)
• Determine services to be offered
• Create a conceptual technical design
• Define Operational Considerations
• Create a Financial Plan and Funding Options
• Perform Regulatory Analysis
• Create an Action Plan
Uptown Services proposal included up to 10 interviews with local businesses and then every
interview thereafter was an additional $1,000. The proposal from Magellan allowed for the City
to determine the scope of the outreach for businesses.
Magellan Advisors proposed to split the project into two phases. They recommended waiting to
perform the regulatory analysis and creation of an action plan until after the successful result of
the first phases. Splitting up the project in this manner commits the City to $23,800 to perform
the initial analysis. Upon a successful result, the remaining analysis can be completed at an
additional cost of $11,200 bringing the study total to $35,000.
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement in a
form approved by the City Attorney with Magellan Advisors for a City owned fiber optic
network feasibility study at cost not to exceed $35,000.

Project Objectives & Scope
Project Approach
This project will conduct a comprehensive Broadband Feasibility Study that will allow City of El Segundo to
assess the opportunity to bring municipal broadband to its community to serve the needs of business,
economic development and community anchors. The Plan will enable City of El Segundo to "futureproof' its
community by creating a community based broadband strategy that will support technological and
economic goals both now and in the future. It will leverage the City's current fiber -optic infrastructure and
new investments in fiber to serve local broadband needs, in cooperation with broadband providers.
The Plan will include market, business, operational, regulatory, financial and technical analysis broadband for
the Smoky Hollow district and provide a roadmap for expanding the City's network to accomodate business
needs. We will identify the potential users of fiber broadband connectivity in the district and in the outlying
areas (Eastern El Segundo). We will identify the fiber infrastructure necessary to serve business needs and
support the City's economic development strategies, including extending "Silicon Beach" from the north into
El Segundo and supporting redevelopment of the Smoky Hallow area.
We will interview and survey local businesses to determine their needs and likelihood to utilize a fiber
network built by the City. We believe that this outreach should be conducted with large anchors such as
Raytheon and Chevron and smaller businesses across the Smoky Hollow area. We will also work with the
City's departments to understand IT, public safety and other municipal needs for fiber connectivity as these
may lead to long -term cost reductions and improved capabilities for the City itself. Our goal is to determine
how expansion of El Segundo's fiber network can support a range of stakeholder needs, to offset cost, create
new efficiencies and equip the community with next - generation broadband.
We will work with City staff to optimize the placement, cost and use of new fiber infrastructure and develop a
comprehensive technical design for the network infrastructure needed to serve the area. Accompanying this
design, a comprehensive financial and business model analysis will be conducted to determine feasible
options for the City to use in building out its network, including partnerships with broadband providers,
interconnection with Equinix and T5 data centers, rate structures, revenues, costs and funding requirements.
We belive that El Segundo has a strong opportunity to expand its network, because of its close proximity to
three major data centers. This will enable the City to build new fiber between these data centers and
individual commercial parcels, allowing businesses to:
1. Have access to a new source of competitiely priced fiber -optic connectivity from the City
2. Have their choice of broadband providers that are connected within the Equinix and T5 data centers
3. Have redundant connectivity to multiple data centers if required
4. "Shop" for the best broadband services to meet their needs through the City's fiber

Task Breakdown
Task 1: Broadband Needs Assessment
Magellan will meet with small, medium and large business segments identified in the focus area and
document their current issues, needs and likelihood to utilize the City's fiber network. We will work with City
staff to identify relevant businesses and determine the best outreach options, We generally find that
individual meetings are best when meeting with large businesses whereas focus group settings are generally
preferred with small and medium businesses. We will let the City determine the scope of the outreach in
terms of the number of businesses involved, to ensure that the outreach provides a representative sample
of local businesses in Smoky Hollow and surrounding areas. We will also use these meetings as
opportunities to garner support for the City's broadband initiative to rally the community around the project.
Task 2: Broadband Stakeholder Analysis
This analysis will identify other users of the network in addition to the business community. Throughout this
phase, Magellan and El Segundo will work together to determine what technology and communications
services fit well within the project, based on the long -term goals of the City and its municipal operations. In
this phase, we will examine the possibilities and technologies that buildout of the fiber network will enable.
We believe that there are always public efficiencies to gain through buildout of municipal fiber and we want
to ensure that these needs are accounted for in the buildout plan, as they can also lead to proving out the
business case for expansion. These include but are not limited to:
• Smart Grid Technology • Video Surveillance
• Automatic Meter Reading • Teleworkers
• Ubiquitous Wireless E- Government
Task 3: Business Model Development
Determination of the right business case or model for the City's broadband network will be essential to
ensure the City identifies viable opportunities and develops sound business strategies to capture them.
Magellan will assist the City evaluate the various business models that are available, identifying the pros and
cons of each. We have worked with hundreds of utility providers and private and public operators who have
implemented a range of business models. We will focus on business models that utilize the City's strengths
in building and maintaining infrastructure.
Task 4: Broadband Technical Plan
This phase of the project will create a technical design for City's fiber infrastructure, based on local business
and stakeholder needs in the Smoky Hollow area. We will tailor the design specifically to minimize cost and
maximize value of the network to the community and City. It will provide the fiber network required to
interconnect local businesses to the Equinix and T5 data centers, including the following areas:
• Outside Plant Routing • Dark fiber vs. lit fiber options
• High Availability & Redundancy • Open access considerations
• Co- Location in data centers

ADVISORS IRW
The design will be provided with a complete set of conceptual technical diagrams illustrating the different
layers of the system, including:
• Physical fiber design Data center terminations
• Network element design and location Interconnection
• Fiber capacity and strand usage Future expansion plans
We will provide all diagrams in CAD, Visio and Google Earth (or equivalent GIS system).
Task 5: Broadband Operations Considerations
The operational considerations for City must provide efficient and cost effective 0 &M as part of the long-
term fiber expansion plan. Magellan will provide an analysis on the City's operations and management
options for the fiber network as it expands, including:
Operational Support Systems (OSS) • Service level management
• Provisioning • Contact and escalation
• Capacity management • Project management
Task 6: Broadband Financial Plan and Funding Options
The financial plan will provide extensive financial modeling of the various options to allow City to understand
the financial requirements of expanding its fiber network. It will allow City to make informed decisions about
if and how to invest in such a project and evaluate the most relevant scenarios for buildout. Our financial
provide comprehensive pro- forma, financial analysis and metrics to help the City understand the feasibility
and overall sustainability in expanding its network for commercial use. Our financial plan will include:
• Pro -forma financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, cash -flow statements
and owner equity statements
• Capital and operational budgets
• Revenue and cost models
• Customer forecasts
• Service forecasts
• Debt financing and amortization worksheets
• Financial ratio analysis
Financing alternatives, debt, equity and grants
Task 7: Regulatory Analysis
We will provide an in -depth analysis of both State and Federal regulatory statutes concerning municipal
broadband. Magellan staff has an extensive background in the telecom regulatory arena and can provide
guidance to City on these matters, helping ensure compliance with State and Federal laws, including
compliance with the FCC, USAC, Department of Revenue, and California Public Utilities Commission. We have
significant experience working with other California municipalities on broadband projects, such as Riverside,
Davis, Woodland, West Sacramento, Vallejo and Winters, and are very knowledge about California's
regulatory environment.

ADVISORS wJW
Task 8: Action Plan & Next Steps
We will review the findings of the Feasibility Study with the City's project team and build consensus with you
on a feasible action plan, next steps and timeline. We believe that City's should embrace the opportunities to
use its fiber infrastructure to serve the community but should do so in prudent, careful way and using a
phased approach. We will work with the City to determine immediate opportunities to create "small wins" for
the community while building the long -term plan to significantly expand broadband in the area. We will help
you develop a year -by -year implementation plan that identifies the key investments, customers,
infrastructure and services that will be required to maximize the benefit to your community, in a fiscally
prudent way.
Project Deliverables
We believe that the core deliverables for the project are comprised of the following, subject to the City's
needs.
1. Broadband needs assessment, including meetings, interviews and focus groups with businesses and
stakeholders in the focus areas,
2. Unbiased survey of businesses to establish a level of interest within the community for broadband
services.
3. Broadband technical plan with conceptual engineering designs for the proposed network and
phased buildout plan.
4. Broadband financial plan wish profit and loss statements, balance sheets and income statements.
This should be accompanied with a statement of "margin of error" expectation and other financial
analysis.
5. Overview of the current providers, their services, marketing bundles, pricing strategies and coverage.
This overview shall be used to evaluate any possible savings to the City for similar services that can be
provided through utilization of its network.
6. Assessment of regulatory requirements, risks, and assumptions relevant to the building or operation
of the proposed network.
7. Options for financing to include, but not limited to general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, and
public /private partnerships. The viability of pay -as- you -go funding alternative is also to be evaluated.
8. Recommendation on business model, optimal technical and operational plan, build schedule,
financial plan, implementation plan and next steps.
9. Probable project implementation schedule and phasing.

Project Timeline & Pricing
Magellan estimates that the project will take approximately four months to complete based on the scope of
the work defined in the project. We understand that the City is interested in understanding what funding
would be necessary for a buildout to ensure it has the opportunity to allocate funding in the next budget
year. We will prioritize the financial analysis to ensure that the City has the financial information needed to
support the broadband expansion, well in advance of its budget planning activities.

for the City of El Segundo
Proposal for Middle Mile Market Opportunity Assessment
February 2015
Overview
The City of El Segundo (the City) has asked Uptown Services, LLC (Uptown) to assist with certain analysis
tasks associated with their fiber network utilization efforts. The City has an existing fiber ring that is
being used to make internal connections among City departments. The main focus of this project would
be to evaluate the financial impacts of using the City fiber network to provide middle mile services to
businesses and institutions located within the city. The long term objective is to utilize the existing fiber
along with any network enhancements as an economic development tool to further position the area as
'Silicon Beach'. The primary opportunity lies within the Smoky Hollow and commercial areas on the
eastern side of the city. Bandwidth sourcing is ideal given a 144 -count fiber connection into Equinix and
bandwidth available at $.60- .70 /Mbps.
Proposed Taslts and Deliverables
Uptown will undertake the following tasks and provide the related deliverables.
I. Definition of Kecomme�orled ,tiervice tiet
Determine which fiber services the City could offer in terms of fiber transport and access. Identify if
these services would be financially viable (e.g. self- funding through end user revenue streams) at
realistic market price levels and incremental capital costs. This will include a definition of the
services set including high capacity transport and access services tiers and wholesale /retail pricing.
Service definitions will include recommended bandwidth tiers, recurring and non - recurring pricing.
Z. Depth Interviews with Commercial and Institutional Accoiiira�
Uptown will conduct ten (10) in -depth face -to -face interviews with commercial /industrial
business owners or IT managers. The objective with this research approach is to qualify the current
usage, pricing terms, technical details regarding connection requirements, unmet needs, and
interest and level of support among business communications decision - makers in City - provided lit
and /or dark fiber services. Ideally, those interviewed should be potential customers as a major
commercial account for City - provided fiber service. The Client shall approve the interview list and
help recruit participants. Information gathered will include but not be limited to:
• Current use of broadband services and data networks
• Interest and need for high capacity fiber -based services
• Experience with existing broadband and fiber services in the City and
deficiencies with current service and providers
• Desired and /or expected expansion of fiber infrastructure in the City
• Responsiveness to price decreases /increases or service improvements
• Beliefs about how City - provided fiber service could /should impact their
perception of the future of the City, economic development potential, etc,
Determine City Rol
Determine the role the City should play in providing fiber network services to the commercial sector.
Address whether or not the City should serve to provide wholesale service (e.g. providing dark fiber
to service providers) or serve as a direct service provider offering finished services to end user
accounts.
4. Development of Pro Forma
Uptown will develop a high -level three year pro forma for the proposed middle mile business. This
financial analysis will include estimations of incremental capital, operating expense and revenue
associated with offering fiber -based middle mile services. Revenue assumptions will be based on
the depth interview results and the model will include average connection costs for new
connections to the network.
11. Ueveiopment of Stijl analysis Framework
The cost for each middle mile connection can vary widely across the City service area depending
upon lateral footage, construction technique, and inside wiring requirements. Based on our
experience, we believe that the City should consider the breakeven point for each new connection,
and use this information in determining contractual terms. Accordingly, we will develop a return on
investment (ROI) analysis framework that can be used to understand the financial impact of each
potential connection. Armed with this information, the City will be in a better position to set non-
recurring pricing and contract terms for each new middle mile connection.
Proied C)lrtt1IF1 .4r Sr l7r ri?rft'
Uptown will produce a full report in PowerPoint format summarizing the analysis, findings, and
recommendations associated with the above deliverables. Uptown will also provide any work product in
the form of spreadsheets, GIS data /mapping, and primary research records. Uptown will complete the
scope of services within 3 months from the notice to proceed date.
Fee for Services
Uptown will charge DMEA a fixed fee of $35,000 for this scope of services. Additional depth interviews
beyond the 10 included in this fee can be completed at an incremental fee of $1,000 each.
Travel Expenses
Travel expenses will be billed at cost for this scope of services.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
ACTION NO. 1
On September 16, 2014, Council approved by Consent Agenda the extension of separate ongoing
service agreements with JAS and CSG to provide consulting services for the Building and Safety
Division in amounts not the exceed $75,000 each. Since the execution of the service agreements,
CSG has advised that it is unable to provide the City with a consultant for the services needed by
the Building and Safety Division. JAS has informed the City that it is able to provide the City
with an additional consultant and cover the gap left by CSG's inability to provide services.

Accordingly, Staff wcommends the shifting of the not -to- exceed amount of $75,000, allocated
and approved by Council on September 16, 2014, from CSG to JAS and the execution of an
Amendment to the City's contract with JAS to increase the contract amount with JAS to a total
amount not -to- exceed $150,000.
ACTION NO.2
As part of the Building and Safety Division's 2014 -15 Fiscal Budget, Council approved the
budgeted amount of $ 171,000 for the hiring of a Senior Plan Check Engineer. Unfortunately, the
City has not been able to find and hire a qualified engineer to fill the position and has had to rely
on consultant services. J. Lee Engineering is currently under contract with the City to provide
plan check and inspection consulting services and can provide the City with the necessary plan
check services.
Accordingly, staff recommends the shifting of funds allocated for the hiring of a Senior Plan
Check Engineer to the amount budgeted for consulting services by J. Lee Engineering from an
amount not -to- exceed $200,000 to a total amount not -to- exceed $350,000 and the execution of
an amendment to the City's contract with J. Lee Engineering to reflect the increase in the
contract amount.

REVIEWED BY: Carl Jacobson, Mayor Pro Tem
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Senate Bill 485 would allow the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County to assist local
jurisdictions in Los Angeles County in stormwater and dry weather runoff management projects. SB
485 would be specific to the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County and is similar to statutory
language in Health and Safety Code Section 4730.66, chaptered in 2002, which only applies to the
Orange County Sanitation District. The Language would supplement the existing powers of the
Districts and would allow each District to acquire, construct, operate, maintain and furnish facilities
for all or any of the following purposes:
• Diversion of stormwater and dry weather runoff from the stormwater drainage system;
• Management and treatment of stormwater and dry weather runoff;
• Discharge of the water to the stormwater drainage system or receiving waters; and
• The beneficial use of the water.
The bill would also establish that jurisdictions are not required to participate in projects done pursuant
to this authority and that nothing in this legislation is intended to change any existing or established
water rights, adjudicated rights, or obligations under the Service Duplication Act.

Re: SB 485: County of Los Angeles: Sanitation District — Support Position
Dear Senator Hernandez:
On behalf of the City of El Segundo please accept this letter in support of SB 485, which would
authorize the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County to manage stormwater and dry
weather urban runoff. The City of El Segundo is a member of the Sanitation District No. 2 of
Los Angeles County. SB 485 would provide another option or tool to assist cities in meeting
the requirements of the Los Angeles Region's municipal stormwater permit.
Most of the cities in Los Angeles County, the County and the Flood Control District are
charged in the municipal stormwater permit with implementing new best management practices
and water quality projects that will meet the requirements of 33 Total Maximum Daily Loads
(TMDLs), which is expected to cost millions of dollars per year. The challenges posed by these
requirements were analyzed in a recent report completed by the Los Angeles County Division
of the League of California Cities and the California Contract Cities Association. The report
also recommended, among other things, that the Sanitation Districts' statute be changed to
authorize them to assist the cities in managing stormwater and dry weather urban runoff. This
change will allow the Sanitation Districts to use its civil engineering and water quality expertise
to help the cities and county comply in an efficient and effective manner with the Los Angeles
Region municipal stormwater permit.
For these reasons, we thank you for introducing SB 485, and are please to support this import
legislation. If you have any questions, please contact me (310 -524- 2302).
Sincerely,
Carl Jacobson
Mayor Pro Tern
