Investment Environment:
During the first quarter of 2016, rates at the longer end of the curve decreased for most of the quarter, ending much
lower than they were at the beginning of the quarter. From March 31St to June 30th, the rates continued to decrease
significantly, once again ending the quarter even lower than where they started. The good news is that as of July
26th, the rates have increased to very close to where they were at March 31St. Based upon the projected 2016
Federal Funds Rate from the June meeting, is appears that the Fed may raise rates one time by the end of 2016. The
probability of an increase by the Federal Reserve is a 50% chance of one increase by March, 2017 as of August of
2016.
The graphs and charts below show some of the key interest rates on items we invest in. As rates are expected to rise
over the next few years, we want to time our investments to take advantage of the increases as they occur.

Cash Flow Analvsis:
The chart below shows the historical cash flow for the last 12 months. We can see that the majority of our funds are
received in the second quarter of the fiscal year, January thru March, primarily due to Business License Renewals and
the annual Chevron Payment. We also receive Sales and UUT taxes during the first few months of the year as well.
For the current Quarter, the total portfolio increased by $6,023,317; the net of an increase in Government Bonds of
$1.3 million, an increase in LAIF of $7 Million and a decrease in cash at the bank of $2.3 million. The primary
contributors to this increase were $2,858,000 in Sales Tax revenue, $2,808,000 in LAWA /FAA Residential Sound
Page 14
14
Insulation reimbursements; $2,708,000 in Franchise Tax revenue and $4,000,000 in Property Tax revenue. The total
of these key revenue items helped receipts exceed our payments for the quarter by the $6,000,000 increase seen in
the portfolio.
Our investments will be purchased with the liquidity relative to our cash flow needs.

Additional Economic Indicators:
Economic Projections from September Meeting
The Economic Indicators presented below are key items that the Federal Reserve will look at in deciding
whether or not to change interest rates going forward.
The GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, represents the market value of all goods and services produced by
the economy during the period measured, including personal consumption, government purchases, private
inventories, paid -in construction costs and the foreign trade balance (exports are added, imports are
subtracted). This is a key indicator the Federal Reserve will look at when deciding on interest rate changes.
The target level for GDP is in the 2.5% to 3.5% range.
The Unemployment Rate shows the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed but seeking work.
The target level for Unemployment is around 5.6 %.
The PCE Inflation is the Personal Consumption Expenditures rate of inflation. This index is essentially a
measure of goods and services targeted toward individuals and consumed by individuals. The long term
inflation target is around 2% per year. Core PCE Inflation excludes items such as food and energy due to
the nature of their potential price swings.

Investment Strategy:
It is the City and City Treasurer's policy to invest funds in accordance with the Investment Policy and to meet all legal
requirements regarding the safeguarding of funds.
For the last two years we maintained a higher cash balance at the bank in order to offset our bank fees since our
Earnings Credit rate was higher than the LAIF rate. Now that the LAIF interest rate exceeds our Earnings Credit rate
we have lowered our bank balance and invested more short term funds in LAIF. We will now pay bank fees but earn
more interest income, and will continue to monitor our cash flow needs in order to determine which investments will
maximize return while providing the proper level of liquidity.
The Liquidity Schedule provides an overview of when our current investments are due to mature. We will plan our
future investments to coordinate with these maturities in order to ensure a liquidity balance to our portfolio. The
Investments by Security Type schedule provides an additional breakdown of how our funds are presently allocated.
The Portfolio Summary for the month is included as an attachment to this report
Additional Notes:
The City has funds of $209,550.31 which belong to the El Segundo Senior Citizens Housing Development Corporation
and are a part of our LAIF balance. There are also LAWA RSI (Los Angeles World Airports Residential Sound
Insulation) funds of $14,813,483.97 included in the City's LAIF balances. The applicable interest for these accounts is
accrued monthly and posted quarterly in the same manner as the regular City LAIF interest posting.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 16, 2016
AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action for City Council to limit or prohibit on- street parking of
recreational and oversized vehicles. Data gathered on the public opinion of the issue will be
presented, along with a field survey of parked recreational vehicles and oversized vehicles on
public streets. Various regulatory measures will be presented as possible solutions for
consideration. (Fiscal Impact: )
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1.) Consider and discuss information and solutions including directing staff to amend the
El Segundo Municipal Code 8 -5 -613 for future City Council consideration.
2.) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
• Recreational and Oversized Vehicle Public Opinion Survey summarized results
• Policies on Oversized and Recreational Vehicles in South Bay Cities
FISCAL IMPACT: Included in Adopted Budget
Amount Budgeted: $
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): }
ORIGINATED BY: Daisy Sanchez, Administrative Intern `
REVIEWED BY:
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Managez
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The parking of recreational and oversized vehicles on public streets has been a source of concern
for El Segundo residents. As a result, Council directed staff on June 7, 2016 to further research
and gather public input on the topic.
The current code for recreational and oversized vehicles (ESMC 8 -5 -613) states that it is unlawful
for any person to park or stand any trailer, camp car or similar type of equipment in or upon any
public street for more than 48 consecutive hours within any period of 7 days. In an effort to gain
a firm grasp on the severity of the issue, staff conducted both a public opinion survey and a field
survey.
SURVEY RESULTS:
The public opinion survey was held from July 8, 2016 to August 1, 2016 with over 820
responses. About 58% of respondents voted in favor of a more restrictive limitation than that in
the current code, should a new oversized vehicle limitation be considered. About 74% of
respondents felt that vehicle habitation is either becoming a problem or is a problem in El
22
1
Segundo. Over 50% of respondents preferred a form of permit system if new oversized vehicle
limitations are to be considered. However, more than 50% of respondents said they were not
aware of the current 48 hour rule for recreational vehicles under the El Segundo Municipal Code.
Respondents consistently commented on the safety issues that come with recreational and
oversized vehicles parking on public streets as well as expressing their support for permit
systems.
The field survey was conducted from June 28, 2016 to July 7, 2016 on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Saturday of those weeks. The results showed recreational vehicles and oversized
vehicles are most often parked along Franklin Avenue and Imperial Avenue. In total, there were
more sightings of recreational and oversized vehicles registered to an address outside of town
than those sightings to addresses in town.
ANALYSIS:
The public opinion survey, which reached enough respondents to be considered statistically
significant, provides strong evidence that most residents are highly concerned with oversized and
recreational vehicle parking on public streets. The field survey provides evidence that the most
impacted streets are Franklin Avenue and Imperial Avenue with little impact in the residential
area, and that more often than not, those vehicles come from out of town. Considering these two
premises, in addition to the support indicated in the public opinion survey towards a permit
system, it seems introducing a permit system is the most appropriate course of action.
There are many examples of permit systems to regulate the on— street parking of recreational and
oversized vehicles. These permit systems usually come with stickers placed on vehicles so that
they are visible to parking enforcement agents. Cities vary with the limitations they place on
these permits, usually capping them at a certain number per month, per year as well as limiting
the amount of time for which the permits are valid. It is typical for a person to show a proof of
residency in order to obtain a permit. In certain cases, it is possible for a permit to be obtained
for an out -of -town visitor but the permit is limited in time and must be sponsored by a resident
within the city. Permit systems can also be combined with limitations on the parking of these
vehicles overnight. Redondo Beach, for example, prohibits oversized parking on all streets from
2 a.m. to 6 a.m. unless the vehicle has a permit. Redondo Beach allows residents to obtain a 1-
day permit for loading and unloading purposes, with a maximum of six of these permits per
month and sixty permits per year.
Possible permit options for consideration include:
• Prohibiting overnight parking of recreational and oversized vehicles unless a
temporary permit is issued
• Allowing residents and business to park as currently allowed with a permit and
prohibiting overnight parking for non - residents

Additional comments:
These people are using the city streets to avoid paying storage fees. A permit system for short stays would
work to cause owners to get proper storage.
25
I can never find street parking in my neighborhood because the oversized vehicles take up 2 spots. It's also
hard pulling out of my driveway and seeing oncoming traffic.
you guys are well aware this is not a parking issue. people who live in motorola are homeless and more
inclined to crimal activity. The ONLY people that should be allowed in our city or those home owners, friends,
workes and people looking to buy home which limites those who can afford it. Extreme measures should be
taken againist people who do not belong in our city. slowly it is turning into hawthorne. First and foremost
sory your issue out with POLICE. This superceeds any other polictical (deleted). poice are # 1, this why people
live here. No police, el segundo may aswell be locaetgd 5 miles to the east where are the (deleted) come from
My biggest problem is the constant external generator noise.
A resident permit system might be nice along with a more restrictive ban on oversized vehicles. There are
adequate storage facilities available in the south bay to store oversized vehicles which seems the price you
have to be willing to pay when owning one of these. They present an eye sore, an opportunity for vehicle
habitation and safety issues. Thank you
I work in Chatsworth and overnight RV parking has become a large problem. Families are living in them and
streets are full of waste and debris. They develop small communities with other RV's as well, all parking near
each other. It is unsafe and dangerous for the El Segundo community.
As a long time resident of Venice, I am very concerned about the high amount of rvs and the problems
associated with this creeping into this neighborhood
I would also like a ban on unhitched trailers. There are numerous cargo -type work trailers and boats parked
on the city streets which take up the equivalent in two vehicles parking space. These (deleted) are treating
the streets of El Segundo like an RV parking lot. If they purchase such vehicles, they should ensure they have
plenty of space on their property to park them or purchase storage space at a facility. RV parking has become
a major nuisance along Imperial Ave. I drive that thoroughfare before 6 AM on my daily commute and have
observed occupants of the RVs exiting and urinating on the parkway.
RV must be parked in front of owners residence or in driveway only, not parked across the street or I front of
neighbors homes.
Our streets are already so narrow, these oversized vehicles make it extremely difficult to see when one is
backing out from a driveway. It creates a dangerous hazard.
Please include: A ban on oversized vehicle parking within 25 feet from an intersection
This is a huge problem. Please get rid of all the overnight parkign of these vehicles on imperial Avenue.
Residents and others use the street as a storage area for their extra vehicles. it is a safety issue
There has been a group of three campers parking on Holly just after Indiana and they are living in the
campers. I don't think this is fair to the residents who pay rent or own homes.
On Imperial Ave, the RV's stay way longer than 48 hours.
Adopt a city ordinance to ban parking on ES city streets for oversize vehicles, i.e. Buses, Motorhomes, Boats
and trailers. Ban on oversized vehicle parking within 25 feet of an intersections should in my humble opinion
isn't good enough. Oversized diesel Motorhomes are parked throughout the residential areas within El
Segundo. The oversized vehicles parked mid block and in front of homes are a safety concern because of blind
spots and visibility obstruction to those backing out their driveways or trying to cross the street. The
ordinance should have in it, all oversized vehicles shall be behind a gate on the residents property in the
residential area of El Segundo. Another option is there are many storage facilities for oversized vehicles and
trailers.
Something needs to be done
26
The 48 hour rule is not enforce. There are RVs parked all week long on our street.
No one should be allowed to inhabit an RV on ES streets.
Ban all oversized street parking except with residential permit (in front of home only) or for temporary
loading
Law Enforcement Officers should have common knowledge who owns and operates oversized vehicles for
safety reasons.
Thanks for inquiring about this as I definitely think some additional restrictions are in order. I am seeing
more and more RVs (some are VERY large vehicles) parked on ES residential streets often for extended
periods of time (many days or more). Someone at the end of our block had their RV parked with a room
extension blocking much of the street for several hours just this past week (I probably should have called
ESPD on that one).
the parking of these over sized vehicles has not only been a visual eyesore to our streets but a danger. i drive
west on Acacia (up from Center St.) and a large motorhome is present 90% of the time. i have almost had
head on accidents with driver coming from the other direction as there is no room on the street (and the
street is not Narrow!) the homeless are living in the campers and motor homes on Imperial Way. the police
are ignoring them.
It seems that the 48 hour rule isn't enforced as I frequently see the same camper van parked near my house
for longer stretches than 48 hours. Perhaps residents need to know how to report these issues too.
I find that certain RVs are just being moved around town and being parked on residential streets. I'm
assuming they don't have storage and just keep moving them every 4 -5 days. I've reported one a couple times
that keeps showing up on my street and I know for a fact the owner lives across town. I think some RV
owners use the streets as storage and that is not right.
For new limitations, I would option 2 or 3 with #5 (25' from intersection) being a must as well. (survey only
allows me to select one)
What about homes with renters that have about 15 vehicles per dwelling? they park all over the street,
overlapping my driveway and I can't get out to go to work in the morning? or can't even get into the driveway
after work? 507 w. Sycamore is next door to all these extra vehicles. each home should only be allowed as
many vehicles as they can properly house. That driveway looks like the parking lot at Hollywood Bowl!! too
many cars!!
An important issue is where the vehicls park. The City already has narrow street issues in many areas. While
parking on little Imperial or W Sycamore is rarely a problem because the streets are wider, parking on
narrower streets invariably is and stricter limits should be employed there.
I would favor a 72 hour limitation for an addtional fee and make sure that they park at least 25 feet from an
intersection. But make sure that the vehihical is not being lived in other than for visiting relatives for this
short time.
A ban on parking an over sized vehicle in front of businesses
Anybody that owns a large expensive RV should be able to afford parking at an RV storage yard!
Our police department is strectched as is so who is going to be patrolling to ensure the new restrictions are
met?
I don't want to put up with any more RV's on the street and their danger any more
27
48 hours is a good time to limit. I am not sure if it enforced all of the time though.
RVs and trailers for residents with permits up to 72hrs. 8 hrs without a permit. No overnight 11p -5a without
a permit. To prevent ES from becoming a campground for 'vehicle residence'.
Very complicated issue to resolve. I don't have such a vehicle, but it would annoy me to have someone
blocking my views with such a vehicle for a prolonged time.
There are times after a trip or getting ready for a trip that my RV needs to be in front of my home to ready it
for travel or clean up after. This sometimes takes longer that the allotted 48 hours. As a lifetime resident, Iam
closing in on 70, and my family first came to town in 1936, I think there should be consideration given for
those times. As far as exclusive street parking for the vehicle it should never be allowed. AND..being a
business owner, Martin Landscaping Co., I sometimes have a dump trailer that needs to be parked on the
street when I am using it for work, or maintaining it, i.e. charging the battery for the dump feature. That being
said I do have these vehicles as well as a boat housed permanently with California Storage Masters here in El
Segundo. There are exceptions to every rule and accommodations should be fairly made for
homeowners /residents.
The current 48 hour limit is probably okay, but either not enforced or owners move RVs across street, a few
feet, around corner, etc.
With more businesses coming to El Segundo, having the parking taken up by RV's (specifically in Smokey
Hollow) is a huge issue. I have seen the same RV's parked there for months so if there is a 48 hour limit, it
isn't being enforced.
Most streets in ES are already so narrow, and have so many cars parked along them, that it is difficult for two
cars to pass one another. Oversized vehicles complicate that problem even further. Not to mention the
challenge that they create to safety when a driver cannot see around them to safely pull in to traffic. Some of
the streets or portions of our streets perhaps should be restricted to not even allow these vehicles to park in
those areas at all. However, I do think that exceptions or clauses can be included in the street sections that
would permit the parking of such vehicles to allow more time over holidays and holiday seasons.
Good objective to maintain visibility on our narrow streets
Numerous rv's are parked throughout my neighborhood on a daily basis, most appear to have people living in
them. They move them every few days to avoid parking problems but my neighborhood resembles an ry park.
I think we could also have a permit system for residents who may have guests visiting with rv's. The
overnight ry situation is out of control in El Segundo. It's unsightly, unsafe (I have no idea who is living in the
ry parked in front of my home where I live with my children), unclean, a recent overnight ry left a bunch of
trash and dumped their toilet in front of my home, and lowers our property values. Please check Santa
Monica's large vehicle restrictions.
I have had several instances where I was unable to see any cross traffic due to RV parking.
In addition to the last question, I would also want a complete ban of parking oversized vehicles within 25 ft of
an intersection.
I have an issue with airport employees hogging all the parking on East Imperial in the 900 block. This
happens everyday. We need permit parking there.
This is an on -going nuisance that lowers our property values and quality of life. Other Cities have successfully
ousted these eyesores from their communities by tightening the laws and forcing them onto private lots.
i would ask that vehicles be restricted on certain narrower streets. for example, an RV parks frequently on
Pine at Concord. While it may legally fit, it's far to wide for that particular street.
WZ
I also think there should be restrictions on parking near intersections. The streets are narrow many times
allowing for only one car to pass at a time. This creates an issue as you are trying to see around these large
vehicles
Temporary should mean no more than 2 hours for loading and unloading. Most importantly, ENFORCE THE
RULES whatever program you put in place.
RVs should be parked in a driveway (not on a lawn! like my neighbors do with their cars) and if no driveway,
the RV should be kept at a storage facility. That is part of the cost of being an RV owner in my opinion. I would
allow permits for temporary usage like listed above and a guest permit for visitors but with a limitation (like
a week - max!). Residential street parking is an increasing issue for our city. Thank you for sending this
survey as this is an important issue for our city.
Resident should be able to occasionally park their recreational vehicles without anyone taking issue. It's the
out of town people parking on imperial that are the problem!
Question 3 is ambiguous, technically no answer applies to me as I don't own one of the vehicles in this
category. These vehicles DO NOT belong on residential streets and should be mandated and enforced.
Oversized vehicles parking near intersections creating blind spots is also a problem in my area. I'm also
seeing many more RV's parked throughout Smokey Hollow that likely have inhabitants.
It appears that there is very little enforcement of the 48 hour limit as many people use the public street for
permanent Rv storage and only move weekly for street sweeping also there seems to be a lot of trucking
companies and businesses that use the public street for parking and storing vehicles rather than using their
lot or building
The only area I have seen this recently becoming a problem is near the Imperial School on Imperial Ave.
otherwise, resident RV owners are very respectful of their neighbors and "store" their vehicles in driveways
or directly in front of their own homes.
Ban non - resident owned oversized vehicles except with 1 -2 day permit
ES is NOT Venice or Westchester! Major concern is Transients who live in their trailers fulltime. They can
park at legal locations like camp grounds.
I think this should also include trailers even if empty. They are an eye sore.
Thanks for asking.
no empty trailers parked anywhere - no large vehicles blocking driving /pulling out of driveways -very
dangerous
Imperial Ave is a hub for over nighters that make us residence uneasy, hope it will be enforced that no
overnighters are to use our streets as campgrounds
Should also be illegal to put "cones" out to "reserve space" for an RV. Often an RV (or even larger truck)
makes it nearly impossible to safely come out of the alley between the 400 & 500 blocks of Maryland and
Lomita. Besides, Pine St. is not wide enough for cars parked on both sides. Maybe a solution is to only allow
parking on one side of Pine St. Also, trucks that impede visibility should not be allowed to park within sour
may feet of an alley or street. such as the south alley of the 400 block of Maryland and Lomita! Otherwise,
some day we're due for an accident because of the RVs and trucks. Just "nosing" out of the alley which we
have to do now is dangerous, since we can't see what traffic may be coming and at what speed.
No additional rules are needed. Just because a 'few' people are overly sensitive does NOT mean that new
restrictions should be made.
WE
The roads in El Segundo are too narrow to safely have RV's blocking visibility. Also, it invites neighbor conflict
situations and brings down the quality of life as neighbors cope with the inconveniences, safety issues, noise,
pollution from running the engine a long time to keep the RV engine working periodically, and degradation of
the general look of a nice neighborhood street scene. It also invites vandalism as kids and teens are attracted
to play and hide around the large RV blocking views of what they are doing.
As an RV owner, I am sympathetic to those with parking issues but most ES streets are too narrow to allow
large vehicle parking - Imperial Avenue is the one exception!
I park our RV in front of the house to load and unload it. No parking Tuesday mornings may mean I have to
park more than 48 hours. A NO PAY permit would be fine with me - maybe for more than 48 hours. No, I do
not think people should live in RVs on the street. Venice is already a stinky mess that way.
This is a huge problem on the west side of town. DAILY someone parks into the apron of my driveway with an
oversized vehicle. They are dangerously parked around the perimeters of our schools. Outrageous
The RV make me concerned when parked out in front of my place and my daughter walking home from the
HS
RV's are tacky and bring down the look of nice streets and neighborhood
The problem is rampant, and getting worse. It also seems like the city and police department do very little to
enforce the current 48hr restriction. Thank you for looking into this issue, and I encourage you to find a
solution that enhances the restrictions significantly.
Residential streers are too narrow for any RV /trailer and pop -outs further reduce the available driving space.
There should be restrictions on the total amount of space taken, not just eh basic RV /trailer footprint.
I think the current rules need to be regulated more- not sure if new rules will change anything if it's not
enforced.
I know RVs are a problem. they line the sleepy hollow area. This is the problem. No current registration
means no insurance. Residents that have a visitor has never been the issue. These unregistered beaters need
to go.
Large vehicles have made our city look like a "trailer trash" community - a very an unpleasant sight! Imperial
has had vehicles parked for days on end and it has taken parking away from dog park area /patrons.
Yesterday someone parked theirs on a curve (East Walnut ?) so that two cars could not pass on street. Sure
hope some changes comes from this survey!
permit system for oversized vehicles only
Its a problem throughout the city and especially in smoky hollow
I think it jeapordizes the safety of our children walking to and from school
Large pickup trucks etc. seem to park right at the entrance to the alley on both ends of my alley. This blocks
the sight line when entering the street, and no matter how slowly I enter the street, I seem in danger of
getting hit. I propose a 10 foot no parking zone on either side of each alley entrance to allow proper sight
lines for residents exiting their alley.
Since I was only able to pick 1 answer for the last question, I also think there should be a permanent BAN on
oversized vehicles parking within 25 ft from an intersection. Many of times I almost collided with an
oncoming vehicle while slowly making a right turn onto a narrow street because I could not see down the
street due to my view being blocked significantly.
WE
Utilize the RV parking area at Dockweiler Beach
Permit parking standards should be applied on Imperial AV as a whole!
Thank you for taking this poll. Hope our city resolves the increasing problem.
We are on McCarthy Court. One of our neighbor's has a construction company so every day his workers park
their vehicles everywhere except his driveway or in front of his house. Every day. I know the road is public
but i also know that businesses in El Segundo (his is probably not registered) can't have this many vehicles
parked on the street. I have a business in my home and I abide by these rules.
Near our home, there are RVs who stay the 48 hours, leave for a day (or part of a day), then return for another
48 hours for long -term stays. They are basically living there and we do not know who they are, nor are they
contributing to any city services. I have noticed in recent months a substantial increase in RVs around the
park by our house (Washington Park) and other parks in El Segundo. One idea might be that they have to
register with the City to stay for the 48 hours. In addition, the 48 hours might be capped per week so they are
not just essentially living on the streets by the parks. Thanks.
I only park my RV in front of my house when I am preparing for a trip to load my RV and to unload my RV
when I return from my trip. I never have anyone living in my RV in front of my house. I try to go by the 48hr
limit but depending when I leave or return, it might go to 3 days. Very seldom does this happen over 48hrs.
I'd like to see more enforcement. Our neighbors only move their RV for street sweeping. The rest of the time,
it blocks our view of oncoming traffic when we try to back out of our driveway.
Enforce and frequently ticket RV's that violate the current 48 ordinance.
Airbnb is the problem in ES
I think that the RVs lined up along Imperial and California make the neighborhood feel dumpy. Anytime I see
them near parks and playgrounds I think of child predators.
Keep the 48 hour to help in loading for trips etc. but limit to twice a month.
I feel that there needs to be some accommodation for residents that own such vehicles and keep them for
recreational purposes only
Streets are too narrow to allow oversized vehicles to stay parked on streets, even for several hours
The size example shown above should be revised because it would also apply to 4x4 pickup trucks which are
not classified as recreational vehicles.
Fortunately no oversize vehicles park on my street, but it has happened before and I did not appreciate them
taking up extra space and blocking views. There are places to park these type of vehicles for a fee. If someone
chooses to have an oversized vehicle they should be prepared to pay for a place to park it.
If you own an RV, park it off the street.
I do not see a problem so no additional limitations are required
I think there should be separate restrictions for residential recreational vehicles, non - resident recreational
vehicles and commercial vehicles. A permitting program would help accomplish this.
Vehicle habitation: I do no know but had to answer.
31
Oversize vehicles obstruct the view of oncoming traffic. A Hazard.
Have seen several campers on lit imperial nightly with people living in them
Permits required with limited time frame. Moving the RV from one spot to another every 48 hours still
presents a navigational hazard on the relatively narrow streets in El Segundo.
-need ban on RV (size) on any street (min size)
Would be nice to be able to purchase a permit to allow a family member with an RV to visit and park outside
of our house without issue.
Also a ban on parking within at least 25 feet from an intersection. I have almost been broadsided many times
trying to enter onto main street due to a box truck that constanly parks on the corner. 25 feet may not be
enough space in these situations.
This problem seems to have gotten worse since other nearby cities have instituted bans, and El Segundo is
becoming the new RV hangout. Please step up enforcement on ALL streets.
48 hours with a permit sounds about right
If you own a mobile home, park it in your driveway or rent a spot at a storage facility. Nobody needs you
taking up 2 -3 spots, other residents could be using and blocking my site lines notably on corners, which
drives my wife, mother & myself mad.
RVs on residential streets for longer than loading and unloading are a safety hazard and should be banned.
They restrict line of sight not only for vehicles navigating traffic but for pedestrians, children, cyclists and
others.
It has to actually be enforced!
The streets are narrow in ES.. The oversized vehicles could pose a safety hazard for residents and The
oversized vehicles make it difficult to maneuver.
I think that parking permits (the current ones where the resident has so many permits) could take care of this
issue. I don't like transients moving around or even permanent storage parking of RVs, but I wouldn't mind
owners or owners who have visitors in town to have the ability to park their RVs. So maybe all RVs have to
have a parking permit from a resident and keep the 48 hour rule as -is.
We can no longer park our trailer in the driveway as our neighbor has put up a fence. When we are loading or
unloading from the trailer it now needs to be on the street. I feel the best thing is to keep it at 48 hrs but
owner would need to ask for a permit it needed for longer time.
If there is a 48 or 72 hours limit it should not reset by merely moving the vehicle to a new location. It should
be limitted to a specific period as in 48 out of 96 hours or no more than 48 hours per week
Normally I don't feel my street block (Virginia 300s)has had probs w oversized vehicles being parked. But in
the last month, I've seen at least two new, v large rigs; one was towing another large trailer w a car loaded.
Residents should be able to park thier RV's infront of their property. Those that do not live in El Segundo shall
not live in a trailier parked on the street.
People like camping, RVs are not just used by single people living in them, families of 4 or more enjoy
camping and exploring the beautiful state of California. People who complain about rvs parked in the street
are only bitter about their lack of exploration. It doesn't matter if a car or truck or RV is parked on the street.
A vehicle is a vehicle.
32
There is often an RV parked on the west side of Pine just north of Maryland. Due to the topography in that
section of street it makes visibility difficult for regular cars to turn safely. In my opinion the City should only
allow temporary RV parking on limited streets that are wide enough for cars to still safely pass, and not so
close to intersections that they block turning visibility
It is rediculous driving up imperial at night. It's become a free campground... The police do not need more
work to do!
It's getting out of hand, as the city gets more affluent more people are feeling like they are entitled to park
their toys wherever they want. If you can afford an RV, you can afford to pay to store it appropriately. Last
thing we need is people living in them like the problems Westchester has. Torrance doesn't allow parking
without a 24 permit which I believe they charge a fee for.
No living in the R V units parked on the street.
I follow the rules! I am not a street hogg. Rules should be made so everyone is forced to be respectful.
I would love to be able to even have permit street parking
RVs should be on driveways or in backyards. Many streets are too narrow for parking on both sides and
driving on both sides. RVs parked on a street impede sight lines, safely driving especially on streets with steep
inclines, and need to have restrictions within El Segundo.
THE CITY OF LA IS STARTING TO RESTRICT OVERNIGHT PARKING IN PROBLEM AREAS, THIS COULD MOVE
THE CAMPER DWELLERS SOUTH INTO OUR TOWN. KEEP THE CAMPERS OUT!
On our block on the 900 block of Lomita, it is horrible. We have neighbors that have RVs both on the street
and driveway, boats, all terrain vehicles, big oversized trailers that carry motos, etc. which are frequently
parked on the street and a danger to driving as well as a complete eye sore. I seriously can't stand it. It's
terrible.
A permit system along with a ban
A permit system along with a ban on parking within 25' of an intersection
48 hours is fine, as long as it is actually enforced.
-I like the suggestion of the no parking within 25 feet of the intersection idea. My biggest gripe about RVs and
trailers on the streets is that I can't see around them and that make the streets narrower /hard for two cards
to get around. - The 48 hour limitation needs to be enforced. We have an RV on our street that is always there
and just drives around the block for street sweeping and is then there again.
They are a nuisance to neighbors and ugly
NO BIG TRUCKS /vans or rec vehicles, lets make a parking lot in unincoporated el seg.
I understand sometimes you need to park your ry in front of your house or close to load or unload. How about
doing something about the 800 got junk trunk in front of softball field the 2 nights a week we had practice last
season. Or Is that same in rite aid when parking is tough there at peak hours.
If there is actually a 48 hour limit already in place, why is it not being enforced. There are RV's parked on the
street of town, all over and nothing seems to be done about it.
Residents parking their RVS on the street should be required to do it in front of their own homes
We need to keep limit parking near alley entrance and exits. People park within 4 feet now
33
I feel that people that live in the neighborhood should be allowed to park their vehicles, including overnight,
on the street. If not, how would they be able to get ready for a trip, etc, if we can't park over night the night
before a trip? I don't own an RV but I have rented one and picking it up the day before the start of a trip to
pack is a must.
I will love to hear some restrictions for people who rides bikes and skateboards, the do not respect stop sign
and cross in the middle of the street even if they see cars coming also they do not use helmet. thank you
It appears to be a problem on little imperial.
We have to stop the cat and mouse game. the ry owners know how to game the system just move slightly
before the 48 hours.
How about a special lot for these monsters, and the city can charge a fee for that?
Cite vehicles in violation of the 48 hour time limit.
Ban residence in RVs
It is bad on Imperial between California and Sheldon. Vehicle break ins are up on neighboring streets.
Thank you for asking.
Residents who purchase an RV, boat and trailer, and other oversized vehicles are a nuisance, unless they park
on their property. Why should the city residents subsidize the cost of parking in storage lot that would
normally cost in excess of $3,000 annually. The city needs revenue, and charging all residents or visitors an
annual fee to park on city streets is cheaper than vehicle storage fees. This would offset the problems caused
by these vehicles. These vehicles are parking on city streets when street sweeping occurs for days at a time,
and then they are moved to another location, taking parking from residents and their automobiles. They block
views from intersections, cause obstructions of bicycles entering cross traffic and are a nuisance. Please force
residents who own these nuisance vehicles to pay a permit fee, stop blocking streets and vehicle parking, and
stop allowing them to move S0+ feet to a new location in violation of the spirit of the 48 -hour limit. I have one
neighbor who parks his boat trailer all over the block throughout the year.
Perhaps signage of the rule(s) in high traffic areas (like Beverly Hills has for their overnight parking) would
help? For example, at Main & Imperial Ave entering El Segundo, or El Segundo Blvd & Sepulveda?
Sometimes people are visting and are staying in their RV. Seems a bit harsh to make them leave in less than
two days. Two days seems reasonable. Perhaps those who own RVs and live here in town should be required
to get a permit to be allowed to park on their street for longer than two days since it seems that is what they
are already doing.
This is not a problem and should not be acted upon.
Parking in town is already difficult enough without having to compete against oversized vehicles. We should
be moving to a city wide permit system for all residents anway.
dont let gundo become like los angeles a haven for people living in campers
Our storage yard is in Cerritos and it is not feaseable to carry all our frozen and fresh goods out there and
leave it for two days or more without incurring more expense than we can afford to do so.
Large, particularly wide vehicles are traffic hazards in El Segundo. I favor the most restrictive policy possible.
I believe the problem is on imperial and Franklin. I park in a storage area but often park on my streetand
drive way at my house just prior to vacations. I don't believe this bothers my neighbors and I often let them
know when I will be there.

I reside on Imperial Avenue and in addition to the RVs, employees from LAX take up a lot of space. I would
like to see El Segundo adapt a permit district that limits parking to two hours without a permit (like the City
of Pasadena).
There are those who just move their vehicles down the street it another block to avoid the 48 hrs. This is an
abuse of the current rule. Anyowner who ourposfully moves thrir vehicle in this way should be ticketed and
fined, but I dint believe there should be any oarking if RV's in the street except for loading or unloading. I is a
safety hazard on multiple levels. Neighbors and businesses are abused by those who just move their vehicles
around El Segundo just to be able to oark them. They need to find and pay for storage.
Our streets are too narrow for any oversized vehicle. As a matter of fact driving down most streets in ES has
become difficult due to the number of cars parked on both sides of the street.
In addition to a ban on weekdays, I also feel a ban within 25 ft of intersection should be paired together.
We have always been very respectful of parking as we only park overnight before trips and after to load and
unload. We have often been asked to move by the police as neighbors do complain. W yet there are red on our
block and many others that are there 24/7 those are the eve that need to be addressed not the ones like ours
that are there for a day or two!!!
Would love to see our street parking become (in many areas) permit parking.
Parking has long been an issue here, RVs, their trash, and travelers to LAX. This is totally unacceptable to
those of us who live here and pay hefty property taxes to do so. Some areas, especially those near Imperial,
need permit parking, and tougher restrictions on RVs. Thank you!
It would be nice to see the city do something to HELP people instead of just chase them away. Maybe
designate a block that is out of the way, where few residents park, and allow them to park there for 48 hours
before being forced to move on. Don't publicly advertise it because it will turn into a campground, but if
someone is parked in a bad place, just ask them to move over there instead? The homeless problem will never
be resolved by pushing people from one place to another.
Let family /guests have limited passes and allow home owners to remain with status quoe
Parking enforcement should be conducted throughout the night to ensure the RV's are not in violation
No permit parking necessary, I shouldn't have to pay another tax just to park my RV in front of my home
Being homeless is not a crime.
I would be open to 72 hours if the RV is owned by a resident.
Parking in town is becoming more difficult and it is difficult to see around recreational vehicles. Please
change the restrictions and get them off our streets!
Near the dog park, LAX employees park on Imperial Way during work. There should be parking limits for
them (they throw their trash in the street) as well as for RVs that park there
A permit system is a great idea, as long as residents can obtain permits for a guest (family or friend with
oversized vehicle) as well.
I don't want to see people living in RVs but would be difficult to enforce. I think residents should be allowed
to have RVs that they can park near their house reasonably, I think that should be OK. Enforcing the 48 hour
limit should be more than just someone moving just 100 feet and then re- parking.
Would appreciate the law for vehichels to be 24 hours since we have cars parked for 7 days straight. It's
impossible for guests to park. Many of us are tired of all the abuse if our neighbors. Thank you
35
Seen scary looking people come out of rvs and then litter on the street. They are an eyesore, decrease home
value, and are scary
Allow residents to provide guest parking for their guests or permits, otherwise limit to 24 hours. And ban
near intersections!
I wrote the the El Segundo Hearld a couple of months ago regarding this issue. I personally do not have a
problem with residents parking vehicles on city streets while they load and unload or have visitors. The
biggest concern is people living in these vehicles in our neighborhood. A permit system for El Segundo
residents only is the easiest solution. If a resident has a visitor they would need to pull the permit for them.
This will prevent those from living in vehicles since they would be unable to obtain a permit.
The 48 hour rule is not efficient today. A RV (oversized vehicle) owner can move the vehicle 2 -4 feet every 48
hours. We had two RV's parked in our neighborhood directly across the street from each other, this was a
very dangerous situation. We had several near misses with pedestrians running in the street and oncoming
traffic (we could not see beyond the RV's). A 48 hour load /unload permit should be enforced. Additionally,
the only time the RV's were even moved 2 -4 feet is when we called the police to mark the tires (and they
indicated 72 hours not 48 to move the vehicle 2 -4 feet), the current policy is not enforced and the onus on
enforcement is on the impacted residents. No RV permanent parking in the streets should be allowed to
assure the safety of the residents and pedestrians in the area.
I'm a concerned citizen who wonders whether these are residents /business owners or visitors using our
streets to live in their trailers. Noticed on Illinois near Grand Ave, many park overnight. Feels unsafe at night
without street lights. I'd be interested to keep informed about this subject please:
sweettoofstudios @gmail.com Thank you
We also need to review regular vehicle parking. There should be no overnight parking without a permit.
how about like pasadena no overnight parking on the streets. use your garage or driveway!
limit to 24 hours
We have a trailer that is parked 7 days a week in front of neigh is house that is wide and trucks such as Ups
drivers have to drive around slowly on the 500 e oak block it's a hazard!
In addition to Rvs, there's a problem with trucks and vans owned by local businesses being parked in public
areas. The Farm Stand van, for example, was parked at Rec Park daily. The 1 -800 Got Junk trucks should be
required to be housed on a lot -- not on Eucalyptus Street.
This is worse on the north side if town with people using trailers as additional rooms during holidays. The
streets are too narrow for this activity.
RV parking rights http:/ /www.facebook.con /g oups/RvParkingRip-hts
RVs prevent families from becoming completely homeless on the streets: I support sustainable RV dwelling.
TIghter restrictions in residential areas, looser restrictions in industrial areas. Street width should be a factor,
as well.
Most El Segundo residential streets are too narrow for oversized vehicle parking, combined with parking on
both sides of the street and two -way traffic. Something has to 'give'. Consider making many streets one way
traffic. Just count up the number of broken rear view mirrors if you're looking for symptoms of this problem.
We often have a problem on our street, someone must work for an RV rental place and parks a few feet from
our sriveway making it diffacultto see oncoming traffic when leaving our home.
Charge a fee for the permit
36
A parking area that, with a permit, an oversized vehicle could safely and legally park. Specifics of the permit
determined by city personnel, jointly w individuals impacted by the permit, home owners, vehicle owners,
public & fire safety reps. After presentation at City Council mtg w opportunity for general public comment, a
recommendation can be made by staff to the CC or put on ballot for voting. SASmythl @outlook.com
There are times when it is nice for El Segundo Residents to be able to park their RVs on the street overnight. I
think the problem is with non -El Segundo residents parking their RVs in town.
look a new one appeared on mariposa and california, it has a ticket but why wasn't it towed away!
Having been a resident for over 20 years I have noticed that the number and sizes of occupant vehicles have
increased per household. I have also noticed that in the Smoky Hollow district there is an increase in cars and
delivery trucks. After reading an news article regarding RV complaints I have made a point to drive in the
Smoky Hollow area during the day and evening hours. While there seem to be several RVs that are parked
there I do not see it as an overabundance. These are public streets and we do have a 48 hour rule so perhaps
that needs to be enforced more rigidly. We will ALWAYS have a parking issue in town since it was never
designed to handle the influx of new residences and business traffic. Public streets are for public usage and if
this is being designed to rid our streets of RVs then you are doing a public disservice to those who have every
right to utilize them. On a final note the Smoky Hollow district appears to have 3+ more times the amount of
business /delivery trucks parked in the streets overnight then RVs, will you be limited the number of those
vehicles regardless of what business own them? Lastly, will the city also be extending this to the East side of
Sepulveda?
This city has become an RV Park for filthy and unsightly RVs and campers. Non residents come to our city to
park for free and live in these RVs every day and night on our streets. They move their vehicles before the 48
hour time restriction to avoid a ticket and will move it across the street or to another street. Why do we not
have laws to prevent this like other cities in the southbay? It's amazing to me that nothing is being done about
this. I want something done now. Not a year from. NOW. Please implement something that allows towing for
these violations. It's the only way to stop these transients from infesting our once beautiful city. It is well
known to come to El Segundo to park because nothing is enforced.
I have seen RV dwellers or residents run power cords from a home across the sidewalk to the RV. This is an
unsafe practice that could lead to a trip and fall injury by older residents or anyone using the sidewalk at
night or early morning. Any RV parked on a public street should be self - powered and cordless.
I have noticed several RV's parked on West Imperial ave. they park there for several days at a time. possibly
from those who park at Dockweiler state beach. some even park their cars as well as their RV's. they take up
the entire street and is a hassle during street sweeping.

Policies on Oversized and Recreational Vehicles in South Bay Cities
1. Redondo Beach:
Redondo Beach has a system of both permits and overnight parking prohibition. Redondo
Beach defines an oversized vehicle as any motorized vehicle or combination of motorized
vehicles and non - motorized vehicles or trailers that either meets or exceeds 22 feet in
length and meets or exceeds the combination of both more than 8 feet in height and also
meets or exceeds 7 feet in width. These vehicles may not stop, stand, park or be left
standing between the hours of 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. unless the vehicle has been issued a
permit. In order to register the vehicle, you must complete an application and pay a one-
time fee of $30 to the Redondo Beach Parking Enforcement. The application includes
both resident information and vehicle information. Once that process is completed the
resident may request (on -line or in person) up to 6 permits a month or 60 permits per year
to park overnight. It also requires permitted vehicles to be parked within 400 ft. of the
resident's property. Residents may park their oversized vehicles from Saturday to
Monday night without a permit, however, visitors require a permit to park overnight at all
times. Redondo Beach allows residents to receive up to 3 seven -day out of town visitor
permits per year.
2. Torrance:
Torrance defines oversized vehicles as a vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds
20 feet in length, 7 feet in width or 8 feet in height. Torrance makes an exemption for
pick -up trucks or SUV's which are less than 25 feet in length and 82 inches in height.
Only registered oversized vehicles and /or trailers with activated daily paperless parking
permits will be allowed park on public streets. Residents must register their oversized
W
vehicle or trailer with the City of Torrance by filling out an application, submitting proof
of residency and paying a one -time fee of $25 per vehicle or trailer. After the residents
successfully register, they may purchase daily paperless permits at $20 for 24 one -day
permits and $40 for 48 permits and $80 for 96 permits. Residents cannot use more than
24 permits per quarter. Visitors must also register their vehicle with the City of Torrance
by filling out an application along with Torrance resident authorization. After this, they
are able to purchase permits at $15 per day, with no more than 14 consecutive permits
allowed. No more than 30 parking permits per year can issued to any visitor.
Torrance makes explicit exemptions for residents with an Oversized Vehicle Handicap
Parking Permit, oversized vehicles or trailers that are left standing as a result of a
mechanical breakdown for no longer than 72 hours, and commercial vehicles making
pickups or deliveries of goods and services. Tow trucks and similar vehicles are also
exempt if they are in the course of providing services as well as public or utility vehicles.
3. Manhattan Beach:
Manhattan Beach prohibits the parking of detached trailers or non - motorized vehicles on
City streets (includes boat trailers, utility trailers and camper trailers). It also prohibits the
parking of oversized vehicles (greater than 22 feet long, 7 feet wide or 8 feet high)
adjacent to schools, City parks, City operated community centers, or within 25 feet of an
intersection.
4. Hawthorne:
The City of Hawthorne allows the parking of "large motor vehicles," defined as greater
than 22 feet in length or both greater than seven feet in width and in height, or "non-
motorized vehicles attached to a motor vehicle" for 48 hours in a residential district while
E
unloading, loading, cleaning, battery changing or other activity preparatory or incidental
to travel. These same vehicles may be allowed to park for an additional 24 consecutive
hours, but no more than a total of 72 consecutive hours, provided an extension has been
granted by the Chief of Police.
5. Hermosa Beach:
City of Hermosa Beach defines oversized vehicles as those greater than 20 feet in length,
7 feet in width and 8 feet in height. Oversized vehicles do not include pickup trucks or
sports utility vehicles which are less than 25 feet in length and 82 inches in height.
Hermosa Beach does not allow the parking of such vehicles on any public street or
highway unless they have a permit or they fall under exemptions like those for
commercial vehicles, tow trucks or public utility vehicles. The exemptions in Hermosa
Beach's code are the same as those in Torrance's code.
In Hermosa Beach, permits may only be issued to City of Hermosa Beach residents and
only 1 Oversized Vehicle Parking Permit may be registered to the resident; or 2
Oversized Vehicles registered to out -of -town guests who will be staying with a resident.
To receive a permit, the resident must submit an application with a proof of residency
along with a payment of an unspecified fee. A permit will be valid for 72 hours, a
resident cannot be issued more than 8 consecutive Oversized Vehicle Permits within a
period of 90 days and no more than 32 Oversized Vehicle Permits per year. No more than
4 guest permits will be issued within 90 days and no more than 10 guest permits will be
issued per year.
6. Inglewood:
41
The City of Inglewood restricts the parking of a recreational vehicle, house car or any
other similarly equipped vehicle having a vehicle length in excess of 20 feet and a height
of at least 6 feet for a period exceeding 2 consecutive hours on any portion of any public
street which abuts a property improved for residential purposes, unless a temporary
parking permit is issued by the city. Said vehicles must maintain a minimum of 10 feet
from all adjacent driveways.
Inglewood restricts the parking of any motor vehicle with an attached house trailer, boat
trailer, or other type of trailer for a period of time exceeding 24 hours at the same location
(meaning within a 300 feet radius) in any residential public street within the City. An
unattached trailer cannot be parked on the city street unless it is parked in connection

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 16, 2016
AGENDA STATEMENTAGENDA HEADING: Reports of Committees, Commissions and Boards
AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to increase the number of
appointments of the El Segundo Environmental Committee from five to seven members. Fiscal
Impact: None
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Increase the number of appointments on the El Segundo Environmental Committee
from five to seven members, consisting of one additional Residential Member
Position and one additional Business Member Position.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
None
FISCAL IMPACT: None
Amount Budgeted: $0
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Julie Hegvold, Management Analyst, on behalf f the
El Segundo Environmental Committee
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public W s Director
APPROVED BY: Greg. Carpenter, City Manager,/ ''
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The El Segundo Environmental Committee, formed at the direction of City Council more than a
decade ago, is currently comprised of five members. Two member positions are represented by
the business community, two members are represented by the residential community, and one
member represents the El Segundo School District. Each committee member serves either a one,
two or four -year term.
Due to the economic climate and limited staff resources at that time, the committee was largely
inactive between 2012 -2014. It was reinvigorated in the spring of 2015 when resources became
available to support the committee and its efforts. However, three of the five members resigned
their posts due to relocation and /or other personal commitments. However, during the
recruitment to fill these positions, it became clear that increasing the number of members would
provide additional synergy to move the committee's vision and goals forward even when
members were on vacation or vacancies existed (i.e., during recruitment for new members).
43
The Environmental Committee is currently comprised of:
1. Tracey Miller- Zarneke, 4 -year term
2. Corrie Zupo, 4 -year term
3. Chris Lubs — ESUSD; 1 -year term
4. Kevin Maggay, 2 -year term
5. Rachel McPherson, 4 -year term
The appointments of two additional members in combination with the members who currently
have partial terms and full four -year terms, would balance the committee in both representation
and term rotations. Thus, the Environmental Committee requests that the City Council appoint
two additional member positions to El Segundo Environmental Committee — one additional
Residential Member Position for a term ending in odd years, and one additional Business
Member Position for a term ending in even years.

ORIGINATED BY: Brian Evanski, Police Captain
REVIEWED BY: Mitch Tavera, Chief of Police AX
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager'
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In response to a Public Works project request for bids, on January 13, 2015, the City Clerk
received one (1) responsible bid from Vantage Utility Services, Inc. in the amount of $745,155.
On February 17, 2015, the City Council awarded a standard Public Works Contract (PW 14 -08)
to Vantage Utility Services. The contract included the placement of several new sections of
conduit, including a path across Sepulveda Blvd. Additionally, PW 14 -08 incorporated the
installation of fiber optic cable through both the new and existing conduit pathways. This
installation would complete the fiber optic connection of City facilities located on each side of
Sepulveda Blvd. Finally, this contract would extend the City's fiber optic network into three (3)
secure data centers including the Equinix facility located on Douglas Street. The inclusion into
multiple data centers would provide additional redundancy.
65
Because the project was advertised to include several new sections of conduit and fiber
connectivity into multiple data centers, Vantage Utility Services' proposal was well above the
initial anticipated budget. Due to the high cost, an immediate change order was issued to reduce
the project and connect the fiber network into only one (1) data center. The Equinix facility was
chosen as the City currently rents space and has several equipment items already housed within
this data center.
The result of the change order reduced the contract cost with Vantage Utility Services by
$434,529 (from $745,155 to $310,626), which is over 50% of the total contract.
It should be noted that Sepulveda Blvd. is a state highway which is governed by the California
Department of California ( Caltrans). Therefore, this project required an Encroachment Permit
from Caltrans. The City filed the application for the Caltrans permit on June 26, 2014, and
approval was received on August 21, 2015.
During the Caltrans application period, Staff engaged in several conversations with Vantage
Utility Services regarding the reduction of proposed services, including a second City generated
change order. This change order altered the scope of service by modifying the size and number
of conduits. This amendment would require an update to the Caltrans construction permit and
potentially cause additional delays.
Based on the aforementioned factors, Vantage Utility Services requested the contract either be
terminated, or be increased an additional $174,000 for their services to complete this project.
Their request was based on Section 3 -2.2.3 of The Green Book which outlines the rules specific
to decreases of more than 25 percent. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) sets
the standards for internal control in the government via regulations outlined in "The Green
Book."
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Vantage Utility Services' request to cancel the
public works contract and direct the City Manager to solicit new bids for the fiber optic project.
Staff further recommends City Council direct Staff to solicit new bids for the construction and
installation of conduit and fiber optic cabling. The plans and specifications for this new bid will
be to install the necessary conduit and fiber optic cable to connect City facilities on the east and
west sides of Sepulveda Blvd. Further, this public works project will extend the City's fiber
network into the Equinix data center. The construction timeline should be less than three months
and the total anticipated costs for this project is $500,000.
Although a new Caltrans Encroachment permit is required, the anticipated approval and wait
time is less than six months as Staff has been in contact with Caltrans personnel and there will be
no changes or modifications to the permit that was approved on August 21, 2015.
There are numerous advantages of approving and completing this project. After receiving
funding approval from City Council in the amount of $440,000, the City installed a fiber optic
network which connected nearly all City facilities located west of Sepulveda Blvd. This project
provided a higher quality of service, specifically through computer connectivity. Further, several
computer equipment items were converted to a "virtual system," thus reducing the fund amount
..
needed for equipment replacement. Additionally, the City was able to move toward a voice over
internet protocol (VoIP) telephone system which subsequently reduced recurring telephone costs.
The equipment replacement and telephone line savings were set aside to help fund future fiber
network projects and growth, including the proposed project as outlined in PW 14 -08.
Currently there is $232,920 available for the completion of PW 14 -08. Total funding for this
project is anticipated to cost approximately $500,000. Although the actual cost for this project
will be unknown until bids are received, Staff recommends that City Council approve additional
funds be allocated from the General Fund to pay the remaining costs in an amount not to exceed
$270,000. This will increase the available project funds to $502,920.
Completion of this project and extension into the Equinix facility will provide the City the ability
to be fully redundant in a secure data center. This connection into Equinix will also provide the
City access to ultra -high speed internet. Moreover, data center connection will lay the
groundwork for a Dark Fiber network and future business growth and use opportunities.
Finally, completing the connectivity between City buildings located west of Sepulveda Blvd.,
with those on the east side of Sepulveda Blvd. will deliver additional service enhancements
through the virtual system.

REVIEWED BY: Christopher Donovan, Fire Chief G(9
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) consists of protective clothing, helmets, goggles, and other
garments designed to protect the wearer's body from injury or infection, in compliance with
Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. The hazards addressed by
PPE include physical, electrical, heat, chemical, biohazard, and airborne particulate matter. El
Segundo Fire Department (Fire Department) personnel are issued a full -set of PPE at the time of
hire. The PPE that is issued meets or exceeds the standards set forth by the National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) 1851- Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for
Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting. NFPA 1851 recommends that all structural
firefighting ensembles be retired ten years from the manufacture date. This recommendation is
based on extensive research that was conducted by the NFPA regarding the rate of degradation of
.:
the materials that make up firefighting ensembles. Based on inventory of Fire Department PPE, it
was determined that 15 full -sets of PPE are currently expired or will expire in FY 2015 -16. In
order to maintain a culture of best practices in the area of firefighter safety, a recommendation was
made and approved during last year's strategic planning session to move forward in purchasing 15
full -sets of PPE. The Fire Department would like to piggy -back off of the City of Reedley's
contract for PPE.
In December 2010 the City of Reedley went out to bid to procure structural firefighting PPE. The
proposals submitted February 1, 2011 to the City of Reedley determined L.N. Curtis and Son's
provided the best value, based on quality of PPE and pricing. On March 24, 2011 the City of
Reedley selected and awarded L.N. Curtis & Sons a three -year contract with the option to renew
through January 31, 2016. In February 2016 the City of Reedley renewed their contract to extend
pricing through January 31, 2018.
The Fire Department would like to utilize the City of Reedley contract due to the similarity in PPE
design, quality of PPE and competitive pricing negotiated. The City has accumulated enough
money in the Public Safety Augmentation Fund (PSAF) to allow for this purchase, which will
reduce safety concerns and ensure firefighters are provided recommended protection.

City of El Segundo Website Design and Replacement Request for Proposal
FISCAL IMPACT: Included in Adopted Budget
Amount Budgeted: $150,000
Additional Appropriation: Unknown
Account Number(s): 301 - 400 - 8208 -8713 (Capital Improvements — Website
Project)
ORIGINATED BY: Brian Evanski, Police Captain �.
REVIEWED BY: Mitch Tavera, Chief of Polio
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City website (www.elsegundo.org) is an important method of sharing information and
engaging the community. It is a heavily utilized resource that should provide accessible
information and services to the community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is often the first
stop for those considering visiting, shopping, starting a business, or moving to El Segundo.
Increasingly, individuals are coming to expect a wide variety of services online, making it crucial
to continually evaluate and align this resource to meet citizen expectations. Since the City's last
website redesign, information technology in local government has continued to develop at a
rapid pace with innovative features and online services emerging to better serve residents. The
current City website is out of date, cumbersome to use, technologically deficient, and lacks the
capabilities commonly seen on other local government sites.
City Council included $150,000 for a website redesign as a Capital Improvement Project during
the last fiscal year to address the need to improve the website's functionality and modernize its
design. Therefore, Staff intends to release a Request for Proposal for the design and replacement
of the City's website.
01
136
Upon receipt of website design proposals, Staff will convene an assessment team consisting of
personnel from each of the City Departments to review and evaluate the vendors' qualifications,
technical abilities and expertise, and response to the RFP. It is anticipated that Staff will require
selected vendors to conduct an on -site presentation to the evaluation team to help determine
which proposal is most advantageous to the City. Additionally, discussions may be scheduled
with the newly formed Technology Committee to aid in selecting the most responsible vendor.
Staff anticipates the proposal, evaluation and selection period to take approximately four months
with the City Council's award of contract by mid - November.
