ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: ADA — Compliant Curb Ramp Location Map FISCAL IMPACT: $52,400 Amount Budgeted: Total CDBG $52,400 Account Number(s): CDBG Fund 111 ORIGINATED BY: Gregg McClain, Planning Manager REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning a d Building Safet APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City ManageLya BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Each year, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are allocated to cities by the Federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and administered through the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC). Participating cities receive funding based upon the total number of cities participating in the County's program, census population counts, estimates of poverty, overcrowding and aged housing stock. Since 1986, the City of El Segundo participated in the annual Los Angeles Urban County's CDBG Program. In order to continue its participation in the upcoming 2017 -2018 Program Year, which begins on July 1, 2017, and ends on June 30, 2018, the City of El Segundo must prepare and submit its proposed CDBG action plan and /or project descriptions to the Los 1 15 Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC) by February 2, 2017, for review and approval. Pursuant to Federal requirements, notice of this public hearing was posted in public buildings within the City. Federal requirements also mandate that as part of the hearing, the Council and public be informed of the range of eligible housing and community development activities that may be funded under the CDBG program. Interested persons may obtain a copy of the Federal eligibility guidelines, available at the City of El Segundo's Department of Planning and Building Safety, during regular business hours. Proposer] CDBG Projects and Budgets The proposed 2017 -2018 CDBG allocation for the City of El Segundo is $52,400. This allocation is consistent with the amount of funding the City has received over the past three years. This proposed CDBG allocation is a planning estimate only; the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC) will release final appropriations in spring 2017. The City's final CDBG allocation is generally within 10% of the estimate provided. Prior Year CIMC Action Plan (2016 -2017) In 2016 -2017, the City's CDBG funds supported the removal and replacement of twenty -two (22) existing concrete curbs with steep grades with American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant accessible concrete ramps and truncated domes. Removal of architectural barriers to improve mobility and accessibility of senior adults and severely handicapped persons is an example of an eligible project under the CDBG Program. The CDBG- funded ADA Curb Ramp Improvement project is part of the City's continuing effort to comply with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements that eliminate architectural barriers that impede access to public facilities. Since 2006, more than 350 accessible sidewalk ramps have been installed throughout the City. Environmental Assessment This action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) which is the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. Recommended 2017 -2018 CDBG Action Plan Staff recommends that the 2017 -2018 CDBG Program Year allocation totaling approximately $52,400 be used to continue the implementation of ADA accessible curb ramps at various intersections throughout the City. It is anticipated that approximately fifteen accessible concrete ramps will be installed. 2 16 CIr' MAP Construction of ADA Ramps CDBG Completed Projects 2007- 2016 City of El Segundo CALIFORNIA ST F 0 ! © K _- o- _ CENTER ST. — -0 KANSAS ST.

Background Every three years, local governments must adopt the most recent editions of the model codes related to construction. The construction codes include: the Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire, Energy, Residential and Green Building codes. On November 1, 2016, the City Council introduced the above - referenced Ordinances. A complete background, discussion, and justification was included in the staff report and presented at the Council meeting. If the City Council adopts the Ordinances, then the most recent editions of the construction codes with local amendments will be in effect 30 days from the date of adoption (i.e., on January 6, 2017). II. Environmental Assessment The adoption of these ordinances are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines ") because they consist only of minor revisions and clarifications to an existing code of construction- related regulations and specification of procedures related thereto and will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings required therefor, and therefore do not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment. In addition, the adoption of these ordinances is an action being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and is exempt from further review under CEQA Guidelines § 15308. III. Recommendation The City Council adopts the most recent editions of the Construction Codes with the applicable amendments.

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A '7 ORIGINATED BY: Lukas Quach, Building Safety Manager -'' Susan Yuzuki, Senior Plan Check l ngh er James Carver, Fire Marshal Laurie Risk, Crime Prevention REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning and Building Safet ` Chris Donovan, Fire Chief Mitch Tavera, Police Chief APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manage' BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Every three years, local governments must adopt the most recent editions of the model codes related to construction. The construction codes include: the Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire, Energy, Residential and Green Building codes. If the City Council approves the Ordinances, then the most recent editions of the construction codes with local amendments will be in effect with the City of El Segundo on January 1, 2017 as required by State law. I. Background The State's Health & Safety Code Section 17958 mandates that the California Building Standards Commission adopt and publish the California Building Standards Code (Title 24 California Code of Regulations) every three (3) years and local governments are required to enforce the State Code after 180 days of the code's publication by the state. 2 61 23 The following codes are proposed for adoption by reference with amendments. If adopted, these codes will replace the prior editions of the model codes in the El Segundo Municipal Code Title 13. • 2016 California Building Code • 2016 California Residential Code • 2016 California Electrical Code • 2016 California Mechanical Code • 2016 California Plumbing Code • 2016 California Energy Code • 2015 International Property Maintenance Code • 2015 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code • 2016 California Fire Code • 2016 California Existing Building Code • 2016 California Green Building Standards Code • 2015 Uniform Solar Energy and Hydronics Code • Post Disaster Assessment Ordinance • El Segundo Security Code. In addition, to ease the public's use of the codes, staff is proposing ordinances that will simply re- number the following existing Chapters of Title 13 to be more aligned with the CCR Title 24 State model code: • 1997 Abatement of Dangerous Building Code • 1997 Uniform Housing Code Earthquake Hazard Reduction Ordinance Proposed Amendments to the State Model Codes The State Building Standards Code provides the minimum construction standards. Under the state law, local jurisdictions are permitted to make amendments to the State Code if there are local conditions that make it reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. Both the Building Safety Division and the Fire Department staff are proposing amendments to the California Building, Residential, Plumbing, Mechanical and Fire Codes. The amendments will affect construction of new buildings and additions to existing buildings and are not retroactive to existing buildings. Staff is recommending amendments to the Building, Residential, Plumbing, Mechanical, Existing Building, California Green Building Standards, Uniform Housing, International Property Maintenance, International Swimming Pool and Spa, Abatement of Dangerous Building, and Fire codes be adopted to protect the welfare of the occupants and to ensure the economic viability of the community. The Need for Building and Residential Code Amendments The City of El Segundo is within the greater Los Angeles region which is a densely populated area having buildings and structures constructed over and near a vast array of seismic fault systems capable of producing major earthquakes, including but not limited to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake which resulted in over 60 deaths, left more than 25,000 people homeless and caused approximately $40 billion in economic loss. The amendments in the Building and 3 62 24 Residential codes were first adopted and have been in the City of El Segundo Municipal Code since 1997. The amendments emphasize the need for seismic - force - resisting elements and therefore the need to be incorporated into the code to assure that new building structures, additions, or alterations are designed and constructed in accordance with the scope and objectives of the most recent California Building Code and local geological conditions. These amendments have been adopted by the Los Angeles Regional Uniform Code Program and have been incorporated in many of the Los Angeles County cities. Additionally, voluntary earthquake mitigation standards have been incorporated in the new Building code. If adopted, building owners will have an option to use a city approved earthquake mitigation methodology to seismically upgrade their older buildings to a nationally recognized standard that will not only result in a more earthquake resistant building, but may mean lower insurance rates for our residents and business owners. The Need for Fire Code Amendments These amendments provide the continuation of requirements for mid -rise buildings (4 stories to 75 feet) in height, water supply, fire department access, and general fire safety requirements that are not addressed in the 2016 California Fire Code. The mid -rise amendments will only affect new construction and are not retroactive to existing buildings. Also continuing amendments this year are standards for Temporary Haunted Houses, Ghost Walks, and Similar Amusement Uses. The model building and fire codes provide special language for the construction of buildings over 75 feet in height. To safeguard the well -being of the building occupants in mid -rise buildings, in the 1990's, the City Council passed an ordinance that lowered the high -rise requirement to 55 feet. Since adopting this requirement, the fire department has seen proposals for buildings less than 55 feet; these building were proposed due to costs to comply with the high rise requirements. In 2002, a code analysis was performed for those high rise requirements based on occupant safety, and the need to assist firefighters during a fire incident. As a result, the threshold for these additional safety standards was changed to apply to buildings of 4 stories to 75 feet in height. Justification of Local Amendments The Building Safety Division and the Fire Department are recommending that the above changes and modifications be made to the respective Codes and are advising that amendments are reasonably necessary due to local conditions in the City of El Segundo. Other modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature and concern themselves with subjects that are not covered by the Codes or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City of El Segundo. The Building Safety Division also took this opportunity to renumber the Chapters of Title 13 to be more aligned with the CCR Title 24 State model code for ease of use. The Residential Noise Insulation Standards section is relocated to corresponding sections in the CRC and the CBC. The amendment also include provisions to form an Access Board of Appeals to facilitate some of the ADA/accessibility related challenges. The El Segundo Security Code is also incorporated into Title 13 of the City of El Segundo Municipal Code to provide the public with the information for public safety in the development process. C! 63 25 State law requires ordinances adopting the uniform codes to have first and second readings, as do other ordinances, but to be adopted after a public hearing, set by the City Council, held on the same date as the second reading (adoption). Thus, staff recommends that the City Council set a public hearing for the second reading of the ordinances at its November 15, 2016 meeting. II. Environmental Assessment The adoption of these ordinances are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines ") because they consist only of minor revisions and clarifications to an existing code of construction- related regulations and specification of procedures related thereto and will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings required therefor, and therefore do not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment. In addition, the adoption of these ordinances is an action being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and is exempt from further review under CEQA Guidelines § 15308. III. Recommendation If the City Council introduces the Ordinances for first reading, the ordinances will be brought back for second reading and a public hearing on November 15, 2016. If adopted, the most recent editions of the Construction Codes with the applicable amendments will be in effect within the City of El Segundo on January 1, 2017 as required by State law. 5 11-VI 26 ATTACHMENT 2 ORDINANCE No. 1524 Adopting 2016 California Building Code, (Vol. I and II) w /amendments 27 ORDINANCE NO. 1524 AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, 2016 EDITION ( "CBC ") AND AMENDING THE CBC BASED UPON LOCAL CLIMATIC, TOPOGRAPHICAL, AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS; AND AMENDING THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE TO REFLECT SUCH CHANGES. The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows: SECTION 1: Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. The City may adopt model codes by reference pursuant to Government Code §§ 50022.2, et seq.; B. Health and Safety Code § 17958 requires the City to adopt certain codes that are set forth in Health and Safety Code § 17922 and published in the California Code of Regulations; C. Notice of public hearing to consider the adoption of the codes was published pursuant to Government Code § 6066 and a duly noticed public hearing was held on December 6, 2016, regarding the adoption of the Codes; D. Pursuant to § 50022.6 of the Government Code, at least one copy of all codes adopted by reference were filed with the City Clerk of the City and were available for public inspection for at least fifteen (15) days preceding the date of the hearing; E. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 17958.7, it is in the public interest to adopt the California Building Code ( "CBC') with the changes set forth in this Ordinance; F. Pursuant to the requirements of Health and Safety Code § 17958.7, the City Council finds that there are local geological conditions justifying the CBC amendments set forth below; G. The City of El Segundo and the greater Los Angeles region is a densely populated area having buildings and structures constructed over and near a vast array of fault systems capable of producing major earthquakes including, without limitation, to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The proposed modifications emphasize that the design concern is for seismic - force - resisting elements and therefore need to be incorporated into the CBC to ensure that new buildings and structures and additions or alterations to existing buildings or structures are designed and constructed in accordance with the scope and objectives of the International Building Code. Experts predict a major earthquake in Southern California within the next 50 years. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection measures and automatic on -site fire protection of WQ building occupants since a multitude of fires may result from breakage of gas and electric lines because of an earthquake. The City of El Segundo is located along the coast and has hilly terrain, making construction and After due consideration, the City Council finds and determines that due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, the structural and fire protection amendments to the 2016 CBC are necessary to give buildings a reasonable degree of structural integrity and fire life safety to help protect public health and safety in the event of a seismic event. H. Additional amendments have been made to Codes are found to be either administrative or procedural in nature or concern themselves with subjects not covered in such Codes. The changes made include provisions making each of said Codes compatible with other Codes enforced by the City; The specific amendments of the CBC that fulfill these requirements are: 1.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 50022.2, the California Building Code, 2016 Edition, published at Title 24, Part 2, of the California Code of Regulations, including Appendices F, H, I, and J ( "CBC ") is adopted by reference, subject to the amendments, additions and deletions set forth below. One true copy of the CBC, is on file in the office of the Building Official and is available for public inspection as required by law. Section 13 -1 -2: AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE. Section 105.1 of Chapter 1 of the CBC is amended to read as follows: 105.1 Permit Required. Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert, or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make application to the building official and obtain the required permit. Parking lots shall not be paved, improved, striped, or restriped unless a separate permit for each parking lot has first been obtained from the building official. Exception: A separate permit shall not be required to pave, improve, stripe, or restripe a parking lot when such work is included in the scope of another project for which a building permit has been issued and when the design of such parking lot was included in the plan check review of such project. Subsection 14 is added to § 105.2 of Chapter 1 of the CBC as follows: 105.2 Work exempt from permit. Building: 14. Block wall and concrete fences not over 3 feet 6 inches high. 32 Section 105.3.2 of Chapter 1 of the CBC is amended to read as follows: 105.3.2 Expiration of Plan Check. An application for a permit for any proposed work is deemed abandoned 12 months after the application date. Unless otherwise provided, after expiration of the application, the City will not issue a permit until the plans are rechecked and approved and a new fee is paid. Exception: The Building Official may grant extensions of time for additional periods not exceeding 90 days each if a permit applicant submits in writing sufficient evidence that unusual conditions or circumstances precluded the securing of the permit within the allocated time. Section 105.5 of Chapter 1 of the CBC is amended to read as follows: 105.5 Expiration of Permits. Every permit issued shall become invalid unless the work on the site authorized by such permit is commenced within 180 days after its issuance, or if the work authorized on the site by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the time the work is commenced. Work shall be considered suspended or abandoned if the building official determines that substantial work has not been performed within the time specified above. Substantial work shall be constructed to mean: 1.1 Measurable work such as, but not limited to, the addition of footings, structural members, flooring, wall covering, etc. 2.1 The work mentioned in subsection 1 of this Section105.5 above must constitute 20% of the value of the work for which the permit was issued in any 180 day period for Group R, Division 3 occupancies and 10% for all other occupancies. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so, and the fee therefore shall be one half the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work, and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year. In order to renew action on a permit after expiration, the permittee shall pay a new permit fee and may be required to comply with all applicable new regulations at the time of issuance. The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated. Except as otherwise provided, every permit issued by the City is valid for a period of three (3) years. on 33 Exception: The Building Official may grant extensions of time if a permit applicant submits in writing sufficient evidence that unusual conditions or circumstances precluded from the work being completed. An extension of time may require conditions of approval and additional fees. Section 105.8 Chapter 1 of the CBC is added to read as follows: 105.8 Responsibility of permittee. Building permits shall be presumed by the city to incorporate all of the work that the applicant, the applicant's agent, employees and /or contractors shall carry out. Said proposed work shall be in accordance with the approved plans and with all requirements of this code and any other laws or regulations applicable thereto. No city approval shall relieve or exonerate any person from the responsibility of complying with the provisions of this code nor shall any vested rights be created for any work performed in violation of this code. Section 109.4 of Chapter 1 of the CBC is amended to read as follows: 109.4 Work commencing before permit issuance. Any person who commences any work on a building, structure, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system before obtaining the necessary permits shall be subject to a fee in addition to the normally established permit fee, equal to 100% of such normally established permit fee, or as otherwise determined by the building official. Section 109.6.1 of Chapter 1 of the CBC is added to read as follows:. 109.6.1 Plan check fees refund. No portion of the plan check fee shall be refunded unless plan review has not been performed, in which case 80 percent of the plan check fee shall be refunded upon written application for refund submitted by the person who made original payment of such fee and with the written consent of the owner of the real property on which the work was proposed to be done. The Building Official shall determine, in such official's discretion, whether an applicant is qualified to receive a refund. After 180 days have elapsed from the date of the submittal for plan check, no plan check fees shall be refunded. In the event subsequent application for plan check is made by a person who has received a refund, the full amount of all required fees shall be paid as elsewhere provided in this chapter. Section 109.6.2 of Chapter 1 of the CBC is added to read as follows: 109.6.2 Permit fees refund. 7 34 In the event any person shall have obtained a building permit and no portion of the work or construction covered by such permit shall have commenced, nor any inspection performed by any City employee, and notice of abandonment has been received from the owner of the real property on which such work would have been performed, the permittee, upon presentation to the Building Official of a written request for refund, shall be entitled to a refund in an amount equal to 80 percent of the building permit fee actually paid for such permit. The Building Official shall determine, in such official's discretion, whether an applicant is qualified to receive a refund. After 180 days have elapsed from the date of the issuance of the permit, no permit fees shall be refunded. In the event subsequent application for a permit is made by a person who has received a refund, the full amount of all required fees shall be paid as elsewhere provided in this chapter. Exception: 1. If a permit has been issued for a project located in an area outside the jurisdiction of the City, 100 percent of the permit and plan checking fee may be refunded. 2.

A re- inspection fee in the amount set by City Council resolution may be assessed for each inspection or re- inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is incomplete or when required corrections are not made. This section is not to be interpreted as requiring re- inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re- inspection. Re- inspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the building official. In instances where re- inspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until required fees have been paid.

DOWNHILL DIRECTION is the descending direction of the slope approximately perpendicular to the slope contours. FOUNDATION is concrete or masonry which supports a building, including footings, stem walls, retaining walls, and grade beams. FOUNDATION EXTENDING IN THE DOWNHILL DIRECTION is a foundation running downhill and approximately perpendicular to the uphill foundation. HILLSIDE BUILDING is any building or portion thereof constructed on or into a slope steeper than one unit vertical in three units horizontal (33.3 %). If only a portion of the building is supported on or into the slope, these regulations apply to the entire building. PRIMARY ANCHORS are diaphragm anchors designed for and providing a direct connection as described in Sections 1613.7.5 and 1613.7.7.3 between the diaphragm and the uphill foundation.

Suzanne Fuentes, Mayor APPROVED AS TO FORM Mark D. Hensley, City Attorney ATTEST: STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES) SS CITY OF EL SEGUNDO ) I, Tracy Weaver, City Clerk of the City of El Segundo, California, do certify that the whole number of members of the City Council of said City is five; that the foregoing Ordinance No. was duly introduced by said City Council at a regular meeting held on the day of , 2016, and was duly passed and adopted by said City Council, approved and signed by the Mayor, and attested to by the City Clerk, all at a regular meeting of said Council held on the day of 2016, and the same was so passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Tracy Weaver, City Clerk 54 ATTACHMENT 3 ORDINANCE No. 1525 Adopting 2016 California Residential Code with amendments VA ORDINANCE NO. 1525 AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, 2016 EDITION ( "CRC ") AND AMENDING THE CRC BASED UPON LOCAL CLIMATIC, TOPOGRAPHIC, AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS; AND AMENDING THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE TO REFLECT SUCH CHANGES. The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows: SECTION 1: Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. The City may adopt model codes by reference pursuant to Government Code §§ 50022.2, et seq.; B. Health and Safety Code § 17958 requires the City to adopt certain codes that are set forth in Health and Safety Code § 17922 and published in the California Code of Regulations; C. Notice of public hearing to consider the adoption of the codes was published pursuant to Government Code § 6066 and a duly noticed public hearing was held on December 6, 2016, regarding the adoption of the Codes; D. Pursuant to § 50022.6 of the Government Code, at least one copy of all codes adopted by reference were filed with the City Clerk of the City and were available for public inspection for at least fifteen (15) days preceding the date of the hearing; E. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 17958.7, it is in the public interest to adopt the California Residential Code ( "CRC ") with the changes set forth in this Ordinance; F. Pursuant to the requirements of Health and Safety Code § 17958.7, the City Council finds that there are local geological conditions justifying the CRC amendments set forth below; G. The City of El Segundo and the greater Los Angeles region is a densely populated area having buildings and structures constructed over and near a vast array of fault systems capable of producing major earthquakes including, without limitation, to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The proposed modifications emphasize that the design concern is for seismic - force- resisting elements and therefore need to be incorporated into the CRC to ensure that new buildings and structures and additions or alterations to existing buildings or structures are designed and constructed in accordance with the scope and objectives of the International Building Code. Experts predict a major earthquake in Southern California within the next 50 years. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection measures and automatic on -site fire protection of building occupants since a multitude of fires may result from breakage of gas and electric lines because of an earthquake. After due consideration, the City Council finds and determines that due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, the structural and fire protection amendments to the 2016 CRC are necessary to give buildings a reasonable degree of structural integrity and fire life safety to help protect public health and safety in the event of a seismic event; H. Additional amendments have been made to Codes are found to be either administrative or procedural in nature or concern themselves with subjects not covered in such Codes. The changes made include provisions making each of said Codes compatible with other Codes enforced by the City; The specific amendments of the CRC that fulfill these requirements are: 1. Amend CRC § R105.2 Work exempt from permit 2. Amend CRC § R105.3.2 Expiration of Plan Check 3. Amend CRC § R105.5 Expiration of Permits 4. Amend CRC § R105.8 Responsibility of permittee 5.

The purpose of this section is to establish minimum noise insulation performance standards for new residential dwelling units and additions of habitable rooms to existing residential dwelling units to protect public health, safety, and welfare from the effects of excessive noise, including without limitation, indoor quality of life, speech interference, and sleep disruption. R341.1207.6.03 Applicability. This section applies to all newly constructed residences and habitable room additions to existing residences. R341.1207.6.04 Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following words must have the following meaning: "Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL)" means the noise measure defined in 21 Code of California Regulations § 5001(d), and any successor regulation or amendment. "Habitable Room" means a room that is a space in a structure for living, sleeping, eating, or cooking. Bathrooms, toilet compartments, closets, halls, storage or E 91 utility space, garages, and similar areas are not considered habitable space. "LAX" means Los Angeles International Airport. "Noise Impact Boundary for LAX" means the area around LAX as defined in 21 California code of regulations § 5001(1), and any successor regulation or amendment. The city's building safety department must at all times maintain a current map of the noise impact boundary. The latest published map by LAWA located at the Building Safety Counter shall be used as the basis for determination. "Residence" means any occupancy group R building as used in El Segundo Title 13 of the El Segundo municipal code. 8341.1207.6.05 Standards. Any new residence or addition of one or more habitable rooms to an existing residence that is within the noise impact boundary for LAX must be designed to ensure that internal noise levels due to LAX do not exceed 45 dB CNEL. This standard may be satisfied in two ways: (1) by performing the acoustical analysis described in section R341.1207.6.06, below, or (2) by employing the prescribed construction methods described in section R341.1207.6.07, below. R341.1207.6.06. Acoustical Analysis. A building permit application for a new residence or addition of one or more habitable rooms to an existing residence must comply with the minimum noise insulation performance standards established in this section if it includes an acoustical analysis demonstrating that the proposed design will ensure that internal noise levels due to LAX aircraft noise will not exceed 45 dB CNEL. The acoustical analysis shall be proven to meet the standard by providing post - construction /pre- occupancy acoustic measurement to verify compliance with the 45 dB CNEL standard. The Building Official has the discretion to implement policies that meet the intent of this code section. A. The acoustical analysis must be prepared by a person experienced in the field of acoustical engineering. The analysis must consider and include: the topographical relationship between LAX aircraft noise sources and the dwelling site, the characteristics of those noise sources, predicted noise spectra and levels at the exterior of the dwelling site, the basis for this prediction (measured or obtained from published data), the noise insulation measures to be employed, and the effectiveness of the proposed noise insulation measures. B. If the interior allowable noise levels are to be met by requiring that windows be unopenable or closed, the design for the structure must also specify a ventilation or air - conditioning system to provide a habitable interior environment, having at least 2 air exchanges per hour for the 10 'A affected rooms. The ventilation system must not compromise the interior room noise reduction. R341.1207.6.07 Prescribed Construction Methods. A building permit application for a new residence or addition of one or more habitable rooms to an existing residence must comply with the minimum noise insulation performance standards established in this section if the design incorporates the following construction methods.

The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows: SECTION 1: Findings. The City Council finds that certain local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions exist as follows: A. Climatic - The City experiences periods of extremely high temperatures accompanied by low humidity and high winds each year. These conditions could create an environment in which the Fire Department may be unable to control fires occurring in vegetation as well as structures not having built in fire protection. B. Geological - The City is located in a seismically active area. A significant earthquake could render the Fire Department incapable of providing adequate fire protection. In that instance, built -in fire protection would be relied upon for controlling most structural fires. C. After due consideration, the City Council finds and determines that due to these local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions that amendments, additions, and deletions to the California Fire Code, 2016 Edition, are reasonably necessary to provide sufficient and effective levels of fire safety for the protection of life, health and property. Specifically, these amendments are made as follows: IFC § 503 - Provides a means of ensuring that fire department access to buildings and fire hydrants is provided uniformly in the City during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City. 2. CFC § 505.1, 507.5.1.1 - Provides a means of ensuring that fire department access to buildings and fire hydrants is provided uniformly in the City during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City. 142 I IFC §510.2 and 1103.2- Provides a means of ensuring that safe and efficient firefighting operations are conducted in buildings with limited radio reception during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City. 4. CFC § 605.11.1.2.2 — 605.11.1.2.5 - Provides roof access on residential structures for firefighter smoke and heat ventilation operations that will provide adequate protection during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City. 5. CFC § 901.4.7 - 907.6.5 Provides a means of ensuring that fire protection systems are installed and maintained in a manner that will provide adequate protection during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City. 6. CFC 903.3.5.3. Requires that fire sprinkler systems are designed to allow for water reduction during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City. 7. CFC § 915.1 - 915.8.2.6. Requires the installation of fire protection and life safety equipment in new mid -rise buildings /structures that increase the fire and life safety of the structures /buildings in order to provide adequate fire protection during periods of low humidity and high winds, potential seismic activity, or in areas of restricted access present in the City. 8. CFC § 1031.10. Requires fire escapes to be kept clear, maintained and an annual inspection by a certified individual to ensure the fire escapes are operable due to potential seismic activity. 9. CFC § 5601.1.3, 5601.7 and 5601.7.1.

Pursuant to § 50022.6 of the Government Code, at least one copy of all codes adopted by reference were filed with the City Clerk of the City and were available for public inspection for at least fifteen (15) days preceding the date of the hearing; We G. In 1990, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1152, which adopted standards relating to Earthquake Hazard Reduction in Existing Buildings; and H. The City Council desires to re- number the existing Earthquake Hazard Reduction in Existing Buildings chapter, in its entirety, so that it now appears in Title 13, Chapter 18 of the El Segundo Municipal Code. SECTION 2: Title 13, Chapter 9 of the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") is hereby re- numbered as Title 13, Chapter 18, to read as follows: "CHAPTER 18 EARTHQUAKE HAZARD REDUCTION IN EXISTING BUILDINGS § 13 -18 -1: PURPOSE § 13 -18 -2: SCOPE § 13 -18 -3: DEFINITIONS § 13 -18 -4: RATING CLASSIFICATIONS § 13 -18 -5: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS § 13 -18 -6: ADMINISTRATION § 13 -18 -7: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN § 13 -18 -8: MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION § 13 -18 -9: INFORMATION REQUIRED ON PLAN § 13- 18 -10: TABLES" SECTION 3: Title 13, Chapter 18 of the ESMC is amended to read as follows: "Section 13- 18 -11. ADOPTION OF APPENDIX V: VOLUNTARY SEISMIC RETROFIT § 13- 18 -V100: VOLUNTARY EARTHQUAKE HAZARD REDUCTION IN EXISTING REINFORCED CONCRETE AND REINFORCED MASONRY WALL BUILDINGS WITH FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGMS § 13- 18 -V101: PURPOSE The purpose of this Chapter is to promote public safety and welfare by reducing the risk of death or injury that may result from the effects of earthquakes on reinforced concrete and masonry wall buildings with flexible diaphragms designed under the building codes in effect before January 1, 1995. These buildings are potentially hazardous and prone to significant damage, including possible collapse, in a moderate to major earthquake. These structures typically shelter large numbers of persons and property for retail, food markets, food distribution centers, warehousing, aerospace, industrial /manufacturing and general business and office use. Their continued use after an earthquake is also essential to the local economy and its post- earthquake recovery. 201 The provisions of this Chapter are minimum standards for structural seismic resistance established primarily to reduce the risk of loss of life or injury on both subject and adjacent properties and will not necessarily prevent all earthquake damage to an existing building which complies with these standards. This Chapter cannot require existing electrical, plumbing, mechanical or fire safety systems to be altered unless they constitute a hazard to life or property. This Chapter provides voluntary retrofit standards for deficient wall anchorage systems on structures that are not subject to the mandatory provisions of Chapter When fully followed, these standards will strengthen the portion of the structure that is most vulnerable to earthquake damage. § 13- 184102: SCOPE The voluntary provisions of this Chapter apply to existing buildings of the following types: 1. Cast -in -place reinforced concrete or masonry wall buildings with flexible diaphragms designed under building codes in effect before January 1, 1995. 2. Tilt -up concrete wall buildings with flexible diaphragms designed under the building codes in effect before January 1, 1995, but after January 1, 1976. All existing reinforced masonry or concrete buildings with flexible diaphragms, including tilt -up concrete wall buildings, designed under the Building Code in effect on or after January 1, 1995, must be designed in conformance with Chapter 16 of the CBC. § 13- 184103: DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Chapter, the applicable definitions in Chapter 2, Chapter 16, Chapter 19 and Chapter 23 of this Code; Chapter 1, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6 and Chapter 11 of ASCE 7, and the following apply: ANCHORAGE SYSTEM is the system of all structural elements and connections, which support the concrete or masonry wall in the lateral direction, including diaphragms and subdiaphragms, wall anchorage and continuity or cross tie connectors in subdiaphragms and main diaphragms. COMMENCED CONSTRUCTION is construction pursuant to a valid building permit that has progressed to the point that one of the called inspections as required by the Department has been made and the work for which the inspection has been called has been judged by the Department to be substantial and has been approved by the Department. EXISTING BUILDING is an erected building for which a legal building permit and a certificate of occupancy have been issued. 202 FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGM is any diaphragm constructed of wood structural panel, diagonal or straight wood sheathing, metal decking without a structural concrete topping, or horizontal rod bracing. HISTORICAL BUILDING is any building designated or currently in the process of being designated as a historical building by an appropriate federal, state or City jurisdiction. REINFORCED CONCRETE WALL is a concrete wall that has 50 percent or more of the reinforcing steel required for reinforced concrete in Chapter 19. REINFORCED MASONRY WALL is a masonry wall that has 50 percent or more of the reinforcing steel required by Chapter 21. RETROFIT is strengthening or structurally improving the lateral force resisting system of an existing building by alteration of existing or addition of new structural elements. TILT -UP CONCRETE WALL is a form of precast concrete panel construction either cast in the horizontal position at the site and after curing, lifted and moved into place in a vertical position, or cast off -site in a fabricator's shop. § 13- 184104: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN V104.1. Wall Panel Anchorage. Concrete and masonry walls must be anchored to all floors and roofs which provide lateral support for the wall. The anchorage must provide a positive direct connection between the wall and floor or roof construction capable of resisting a horizontal force equal to 30 percent of the tributary wall weight for all buildings, and 45 percent of the tributary wall weight for essential buildings, or a minimum force of 250 pounds per linear foot of wall, whichever is greater. The required anchorage must be based on the tributary wall panel assuming simple supports at floors and roof. EXCEPTION: An alternate design may be approved by the Building Official when justified by well- established principles of mechanics. V104.2. Special Requirements for Wall Anchors and Continuity Ties. The steel elements of the wall anchorage systems and continuity ties must be designed by the allowable stress design method using a load factor of 1.7. The 1/3 stress increase permitted by Chapter 16 cannot be permitted for materials using allowable stress design methods. The strength design specified in Chapter 19 using a load factor of 2.0 in lieu of 1.4 for earthquake loading, must be used for the design of embedment in concrete. Wall anchors must be provided to resist out -of- plane forces, independent of existing shear anchors. 203 EXCEPTION: Existing cast -in -place shear anchors may be used as wall anchors if the tie element can be readily attached to the anchors and if the engineer or architect can establish tension values for the existing anchors through the use of approved as -built plans or testing, and through analysis showing that the bolts are capable of resisting the total shear load while being acted upon by the maximum tension force due to seismic loading. Criteria for analysis and testing must be determined by the Building Official. Expansion anchors are not allowed without special approval of the Building Official. Attaching the edge of plywood sheathing to steel ledgers is not considered as complying with the positive anchoring requirements of the Code; and attaching the edge of steel decks to steel ledgers is not considered as providing the positive anchorage of this Code unless testing and analysis are performed, which establish shear values for the attachment perpendicular to the edge of the deck. V104.3. Development of Anchor Loads into the Diaphragm. Development of anchor loads into roof and floor diaphragms must comply with Chapter 12 of ASCE 7. EXCEPTION: If continuously tied girders are present, then the maximum spacing of the continuity ties is the greater of the girder spacing or 24 feet (7315 mm). In wood diaphragms, anchorage cannot be accomplished by use of toe nails or nails subject to withdrawal, nor must wood ledgers, top plates or framing be used in cross -grain bending or cross -grain tension. The continuous ties required by Chapter 12 of ASCE 7 must be in addition to the diaphragm sheathing. Lengths of development of anchor loads in wood diaphragms must be based on existing field nailing of the sheathing unless existing edge nailing is positively identified on the original construction plans or at the site. At reentrant corners, continuity collectors may be required for existing return walls not designed as shear walls, to develop into the diaphragm a force equal to the lesser of the rocking or shear capacity of the return wall, or the tributary shear but not exceeding the capacity of the diaphragm. Shear anchors for the return wall must be commensurate with the collector force. If a truss or beam other than rafters or purlins is supported by the return wall or by a column integral with the return wall, an independent secondary column is required to support the roof or floor members whenever rocking or shear capacity of the return wall is governing. V104.4. Anchorage at Pilasters. Anchorage of pilasters must be designed for the tributary wall anchoring load per Section V104.1 of this Code, considering the wall as a two -way slab. The edge of the two -way slab must be considered "fixed" when there is continuity at pilasters, and considered "pinned" at roof or floor levels. The pilasters or the walls immediately adjacent to the pilasters must be anchored directly to the roof framing such that the existing vertical anchor bolts at the top of the pilasters are by- passed without causing tension or shear failure at the top of the pilasters. 204 EXCEPTION: If existing vertical anchor bolts at the top of the pilasters are used for the anchorage, then additional exterior confinement must be provided. The minimum anchorage at a floor or roof between the pilasters must be that specified in Section V104.1 of this Code. V104.5. Symmetry. Symmetry of connectors in the anchorage system is required. Eccentricity may be allowed when it can be shown that all components of forces are positively resisted and justified by calculations or tests. V104.6. Minimum Roof Member Size. Wood members used to develop anchorage forces to the diaphragm must be of minimum nominal width for new construction and replacement. All such members must be designed for gravity and earthquake forces as part of the wall anchorage system. For existing structural members, the allowable stresses must be without the 1/3 stress increase per Section V104.2. V104.7. Combination of Anchor Types. To repair and retrofit existing buildings, a combination of different anchor types of different behavior or stiffness is prohibited. The capacity of the new and existing connectors cannot be added. V104.8. Prohibited Anchors. Usage of connectors that were bent or stretched from the intended use is prohibited. V104.9. Crack and Damage Repairs, Evaluation of Existing Structural Alterations. The engineer or architect must report any observed structural conditions and structural damage that have imminent life safety effects on the buildings and recommend repairs. This includes alterations such as openings cut in existing wall panels without a building permit. Evaluations and repairs must be reviewed and approved by the Building Official. V104.10. Miscellaneous. Existing mezzanines relying on the concrete or masonry walls for vertical or lateral support must be anchored to the walls for the tributary mezzanine load. Walls depending on the mezzanine for lateral support must be anchored per Sections V104.1, V104.2 and V104.3 of this Code. EXCEPTION: Existing mezzanines that have independent lateral and vertical support need not be anchored to the concrete or masonry walls. Existing interior masonry or concrete walls not designed as shear walls, which extend to the floor above or to the roof diaphragm must also be anchored for out -of -plane forces per Section V104.1, V104.2 and V104.3 of this Code. In the in -plane direction, the walls may be isolated or must be developed into the diaphragm for a lateral force equal to the lesser of the rocking or shear capacity of the wall, or the tributary shear but not exceeding the diaphragm capacity. 205 V104.11. Historical Buildings. Qualified historical buildings must be permitted to use alternate building standards or deviations from this Chapter in order to preserve their original or restored architectural elements and features. § 13- 184105: MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION. All materials permitted by this Code. § 13- 184106: INFORMATION REQUIRED ON PLANS. V106.1. General. In addition to the seismic analysis required elsewhere in this Chapter, the licensed engineer or architect responsible for the seismic analysis of the building must record the information required by this section on the approved plans. V106.2. Information Required. The plans must accurately reflect the results of the engineering investigation and design and show all pertinent dimensions and sizes for plan review and construction. The following must be provided: 1. Floor plans and roof plans must show the existing framing construction, diaphragm construction, proposed wall anchors, cross -ties and collectors. Existing nailing, anchors, ties and collectors must also be shown on the plans if these are part of the design, and these structural elements need to be verified in the field. 2. At elevations where there is alterations or damage, the details must show the roof and floor heights, dimensions of openings, location and extent of existing damage, and proposed repair. 3. Typical concrete or masonry wall sections with wall thickness, height, and location of anchors must be provided. 4. Details must include the existing and new anchors and the method of development of anchor forces into the diaphragm framing; existing and new cross - ties, existing and new or improved support of the roof and floor girders at pilasters or walls. V106.3. Engineer's or Architect's Statement. The responsible engineer or architect must state on the approved plans, the following: 1. "1 am responsible for this building's seismic strengthening design of the tilt -up concrete wall anchorage system in compliance with the minimum seismic resistance standards of Chapter V1 of the California Building Code, as adopted by the El Segundo Municipal Code." or when applicable: 2. "The Registered Deputy Inspector, required as a condition of the use of structural design stresses requiring continuous inspection, will be responsible to me, the California Licensed Engineer or Architect, as required by Section 1704 of the California Building Code, as adopted by the El Segundo Municipal Code." § 13- 184107: REQUIRED BUILDING MAINTENANCE. 206 Every building within the scope of this Chapter which has been analyzed to demonstrate compliance or structurally altered to comply with the minimum earthquake standards in this Chapter must be maintained in conformity with the requirements of this Chapter in effect at the time of such analysis or structural alteration.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Authorize the City Manager to recruit and hire an Information Systems Director. (2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1) None FISCAL IMPACT: Included in Adopted Budget Amount Budgeted: $113,000 — FY 16/17 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): ORIGINATED BY: Brian Evanski, Captain REVIEWED BY: Mitch Tavera, Chief of Police APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager 4 . BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Prior to January 2011, the Information Systems (IS) Division was supervised by an IS Manager who reported directly to an Assistant City Manager. On December 31, 2010, the Assistant City Manager and the IS Manager retired. At the time, the City was experiencing financial and economic hardships due to the recession. Based on the City's financial situation, it was decided to eliminate the Assistant City Manager position and relocate the overall responsibility of the IS Division to the Police Department. Since 2011, the Police Department has utilized a Police Captain to manage the overall functionality of the IS Division. Although this governance structure has successfully worked as a stopgap solution, it is not the ideal scheme. In September 2015, NexLevel, an IS consulting firm, completed an "Information Systems Strategic Plan" for the City. This plan documented findings regarding the current IS policies and practices, and provided recommendations for the City including a roadmap specific to technology projects and resource allocation. In their report, NexLevel recommended removing the IS Division from within the Police Department as it is not optimum to have IS report to a "User Department." The ideal and preferred arrangement is to have the IS Division report directly to a new, dedicated Department Director, or to an Assistant City Manager. In September 2016, during several strategic planning and budgeting sessions, City Council discussed the idea of hiring an IS Director. Further, the City Council earmarked and "parked" necessary monies to fund the Director position if the City decided to move forward. On November 14, 2016, the City's Technology Committee convened and discussed the governance and overall structure of the IS Division. The Technology Committee agreed with the recommendations outlined in the strategic plan regarding the management and governance of the IS Division. There are a number of benefits to having a dedicated Director for Information Services including: • The City has recognized through its Strategic Plan, the need to upgrade and integrate its systems for efficiency and improved customer service. • The complexity and number of current and future technology challenges and decisions has outgrown the current staffing and organization model used by the City. • Based on these growing needs and staffing levels, the City would benefit from an experienced, executive -level manager to lead the transition from our current status to a level where we are making the best use of available technology and planning for future needs. • There are technology initiatives that are city -wide or multi - departmental in their impacts and it's critical to have a single point of responsibility and leadership in these cases. • While the Police Department has done a commendable job of overseeing the City's IS operations during our period of economic difficulty, the transfer of these responsibilities will allow the Police Department to focus on their public safety responsibilities.

Applicant: SAGA Architecture. (Fiscal Impact: N /A) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Receive and file this report for the on -site sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits at an existing restaurant with a new occupant at 422 Main Street; and /or 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1. Crime and Arrest Statistics by Reporting Districts (RD) 2. Police Reporting Districts Map 3. Planning Commission Staff Report dated October 27, 2016 FISCAL IMPACT: None Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A ORIGINATED BY: Gregg McClain, Planning Manager REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Planning and BuildinTgAS�afety irecto 4 APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Managers C_ BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: I. Background On October 20, 2016, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved an Administrative Use Permit application (EA -1160, AUP 16 -08) for 422 Main Street with conditions of approval, which allows the on -site sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits at an existing restaurant with a new occupant (Type 47). Currently the restaurant is operating under a beer and wine only permit. The Director's decision was received and filed by the Planning Commission on October 27, 2016. Under California law, once the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) receives an application for a license, they must notify the applicable local city of the pending application. The local agency then has 30 days to review and, if applicable, protest the issuance of the license. The grounds of a protest should relate to public health, safety or welfare concerns. In this case, the applicant has not yet applied to ABC for the license. E3 WX In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) licenses to it for review. Based upon that direction, relevant background information regarding this application is also provided. After the City Council considers the AUP request, staff will advise ABC of the conclusion of the entitlement process. II. Analysis The application for a license, if approved by the Department of ABC, would modify an existing AUP (EA -672 and AUP 05 -02) to allow the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits at an existing 1,564 square foot restaurant (recently remodeled for a new occupant). The remodel included the conversion of 50 square feet of outdoor dining area to indoor dining, resulting in 692 square feet of indoor dining and 570 square feet of outdoor dining. The outdoor dining area is located in the middle of the restaurant, adjacent to the northern property line. The proposed business hours for the restaurant, which includes the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, are Monday through Thursday, 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Food must be served during hours of business and when beer, wine, and distilled spirits service are offered. According to the most recent crime and arrest statistics report prepared by the Police Department, the proposed restaurant is located in Reporting District (RD) 108. Based on the January — June 2016 data, the district experienced 11 Part I & II crimes and 7 felony /misdemeanor arrests. RD 108 experienced a 10% decrease in overall crime compared to the same reporting period for 2015. The Police Department and the Planning and Building Safety Department do not object to the issuance of the Type 47 ABC License for the new restaurant. The project site is located in the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP). On -site sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits at a restaurant, requires an administrative use permit in accordance with Section VI(A)(4)(a) of the DSP. The permit was approved by the Director of Planning and Building Safety and the Planning Commission with appropriate conditions attached. ABC license review requires mandatory findings that are regulated by ABC, which is independent of the City's AUP process. ABC is responsible for running a complete background check on all alcohol license applicants, as well as conducting site inspections, before issuing any type of alcohol license. III. Environmental Review The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The project is a request for a beer, wine, and distilled spirits permit an existing restaurant with a new occupant. The approval of an administrative use permit for alcohol at the proposed restaurant involves a negligible expansion of the existing use, which was previously used as a restaurant. 264 IV. Conclusion Staff recommends that the Council receive and file this report without objecting to the issuance of a new Type 47 ABC license at 422 Main Street or alternatively discuss and take another action related to this item.

R. REVIEWED BY: Ken Berkman, Interim Public Works Director APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The Men's Locker Room in the Police Department (Locker Room) has not been upgraded since it was constructed in the 1950s. Given the frequency of plumbing issues, the lack of a properly functioning ventilation system, and the poor condition of the wall, floors, and shower tiles, staff recommends resolving all these issues in one project. This approach will allow staff to take advantage of the wall openings to analyze and replace plumbing components deemed to be in poor condition. Staff recommends that the Locker Room be upgraded as follows, per the Plans and Specifications: • Remove and replace tile, sinks, floor traps, bathroom stall partitions, shower stall doors, and piping as necessary • Install a new countertop with undermount sinks • Install new fixtures in the sinks and shower stalls to meet the allowable flow rate criteria in the building code • Install ventilation in the shower stalls :. Furthermore, ADA modifications will be made to ensure the Locker Room is in compliance with the latest requirements. The modifications include adjusting the height of one existing urinal and installing the countertop, paper towel and soap dispensers at the required ADA heights. Staff recommends that City Council adopt the plans and specifications and the attached resolution, and authorize advertising the project for construction bids. The schedule for the project is estimated as follows: Bid Opening — January 3, 2017 Award by City Council — January 17, 2017 Construction Start — February, 2017 Construction End — March, 2017 287 RESOLUTION NO.

The law phases -in the mandatory recycling of commercial organics over several years, with an increase in the number of businesses required to comply each year, with full implementation in 2020; D. Under AB 1826, the City is required to (1) implement a mandatory commercial organic waste recycling policy ordinance, and (2) annually report to CalRecycle the number of regulated businesses that generate organic waste and the number that are recycling organic waste (Pub. Res. Code §§ 41821, 42649.82); E. The City Council desires to do its part to help reduce the amount of organic materials sent to landfills; accordingly, the City Council desires to implement the City's mandatory commercial organics recycling program by adopting this ordinance and by approving a Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling Policy.

The term does not include dwellings of four or fewer units. "Organic waste" means food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food - soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste.

Map of Project Area FISCAL IMPACT: $524,885 Amount Budgeted: $582,921 ($232,921 from FY 2015/16,$350,000 from FY 2016/17) Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): 301 - 400 - 8201 -8497 (I -Net Fiber Optic Connections) ORIGINATED BY: Brian Evanski, Captain REVIEWED BY: Mitch Tavera, Chief of Police cc Icy APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager�c BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: As part of the City's ongoing fiber optic cable connection project, on August 16, 2016, City Council directed Staff to re -bid the Public Works project to connect facilities on each side of Sepulveda Boulevard and authorized Staff to advertise for construction bids (PW 16 -33). This phase of the project includes installing a new section of conduit across Sepulveda Blvd. and the installation of new fiber optic cable through both the new and existing conduit pathways. The existing pathways were installed during Public Works Project PW 11 -13. Additionally, this phase will extend the City owned fiber optic network into a data center on the eastern side of the City. 9 296 There are numerous positive benefits the City must consider when justifying whether or not to proceed with the Sepulveda Blvd. construction and subsequent connection to the Equinix Data Center. The following list highlights these added benefits: Ability to increase total internet bandwidth and increase City internet speeds exponentially; o Current speeds using cable internet are 100mb download/ 10mb upload o Future speeds will be 1 gb download/ 1 gb upload with the same recurring costs o Download and upload capabilities are limitless Connection into the Data Center is required to provide increased bandwidth necessary to effectively operate current video camera systems and future License Plate Reader and surveillance camera capabilities. • Added reliability and less "downtime" as we will control the ISP system; we will not rely upon Time Warner Cable. • Increased reliability for our facilities, specifically Fire Station 2, as we will have direct fiber connectivity which will replace the current microwave system. We will maintain the Microwave link as a back -up connection. • Ability to build a fully redundant computer network system and utilize offsite and /or CLOUD options. • Offers an additional backup solution as Data Centers are connected to other Data Centers throughout the country thus allowing us to automatically back up our data to a secondary Data Center located in another state. • Provides greater options for various and /or changing ISP providers as many of the ISP companies are housed within the data center. If necessary, we can switch from one vendor to another without issues (e.g. transfer from AT &T to Verizon, etc.). • Lays the ground work for future Dark Fiber and the ability to provide ISP services to the Smokey Hollow area, and other City companies and residents. Companies and residents who lease ISP services from the City will benefit from an advantageous price while providing an added revenue source that can be used to recover IS expenses. Provides the ability to establish unlimited private and public WiFi stations throughout the City which can also be a potential revenue recovery source. • Due to our current contract and relationship with the Equinix Data Center, we have access to our own dedicated entrance and connection into the facility which is separate from other vendors /clients and therefore much more secure. 297 • Option to potentially relocate all City servers and rack equipment to the Data center thus eliminating the possibility of on -site failures due to failed air conditioner units, fires, power outages or surges, etc. On November 15, 2016, the City Clerk received four (4) bids for PW 16 -33 as follow: 1. HP Communications, Inc. 2. Tetra Tech 3. Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. 4. Vantage Utility Services $525,679.00 $367,802.00 $339,146.00 $384,161.74 (corrected amount) The third apparent low bidder, Vantage Utility Services, made a clerical error on one of their bid items when multiplying the unit cost by the quantity, making the final actual bid amount off by a few hundred dollars from the written amount. The error did not change their position in the bidding order. The lowest responsible bidder was Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. Staff checked references and the contractor's license status. Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. has satisfactory completed similar projects for other public agencies. The Bid Documents also include alternative bid items for additional equipment works, testing and resurfacing that might be necessary. Thus, Staff recommends the contract be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder as follows: Total Base Bid $339,146.00 Alt Bid Items $71,592.00 Total Contract $410,738.00 Furthermore, the Fiber Optic Network project was discussed with the Technology Committee on November 14, 2016 and November 30, 2016. Following detailed discussions, the Technology Committee voiced no concerns or objections with moving forward with the project. Due to the nature of this project, contracted inspection services are necessary. The City has an existing contract with AKM Consulting Engineers in the amount of $18,914 for these services. This existing contract has insufficient funds needed to complete the Fiber Optic Expansion work scope, and therefore, Staff requests that an additional $32,000 be added to the contract. Staff has utilized AKM Consulting Engineers for inspection and geotechnical services on several similar projects and finds them to be exceptional in their daily oversight and documentation during construction projects. Staff has also verified that AKM's rates are typical of the market for this type of inspection work. Based on the aforementioned, Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a standard Public Works Contract, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. in the amount of $410,738, and approve an additional $82,147 for construction- related contingencies. Staff also recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to amend an existing Professional Services Agreement with AKM Consulting Engineers to increase the total contract amount to $50,914 for additional construction inspection and geotechnical (compaction) testing.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Authorize the City Manager to hire an Information Systems Specialist to work directly with the Police Department on current and future technologies including the regionalized fixed camera system. (2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1) Workload & Justification Document FISCAL IMPACT: Included in Adopted Budget Amount Budgeted: $95,667 — FY 16/17 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): ORIGINATED BY: Brian Evanski, Captain REVIEWED BY: Mitch Tavera, Chief of Police.• Mcl APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Staff is requesting City Council approval to recruit and hire an Information Systems Specialist to increase the IS Department's overall staffing. There is an active and current eligibility list for this classification. This added staff member will help to address current needs and shortfalls within the Police Department. Additionally, an increase in IS staffing will bring the IS Department closer to the staffing compliment as recommended by NexLevel. In September 2015, NexLevel, an IS consulting firm, completed an "Information Systems Strategic Plan" for the City. This plan documented the findings regarding the current IS policies and practices, and provided recommendations for the City including a roadmap specific to technology projects and resource allocation. Based on a study conducted by NexLevel, information technology support resources should range between 1.9% and 3.4% of the number of full -time employees (FTEs). At the time of NexLevel's report, the City's budgeted number of FTEs was 259, therefore the recommended average number of IS support staff should be between five (5) and nine (9) employees. The IS Department is currently staffed by five (5) members. 1 301 The IS Division is budgeted and authorized to employ the following positions: • IS Manager (Vacant) IS Specialist (Vacant — On -Hold due to grievance) • IS Specialist (Scott Kim currently working in the capacity of Acting Manager) • IS Specialist (Chris Lee) • IS Developer (Vacant — Final processing phase of new hire) • IS Network Assistant (Nahideh Sarrafieh) • Technical Services Manager - Police (David Gray) • GIS Analyst - (Mike McDaniel) (This position is only for GIS support) Due to the continued growth in the number of City employees, and the addition of multiple software applications and equipment systems, an increase in IS personnel is recommended. The Police Department employs over 120 full time, part time, and volunteer employees and is maintaining several secured server systems and an independent network. Additionally, a plethora of software systems and technologies are deployed and /or utilized specifically by the Police Department. Each of these systems and software require information systems expertise and knowledge above and beyond "Level 1 - HelpDesk" capabilities. Moreover, due to the amount of technical equipment and applications, the police department's dedicated IS staff (Technical Services Manager David Gray) is unable to sustain necessary updates, replacements, and day -to -day operational repairs for all the equipment and systems utilized. The time needed to complete the core responsibilities, duties and tasks totals approximately 348 monthly hours. Based on the annual working hour average of 2080 hours, Police IS technical support needs exceed two (2) full time positions. Additionally, complex technology projects including the replacement of the computer aided dispatch and records management systems (CAD /RMS), and the replacement of the emergency radio communications equipment will be forthcoming in the upcoming year(s), thus increasing the demands on IS staff. Finally, with the continued advancement of technology focused on crime fighting efforts, it is evident that more and more systems will be deployed in the future. As an example, during the recent strategic planning budgetary process, the City Council approved $125,000 to fund a regional, multi- location camera system capable of reading vehicle license plates. During the same strategic planning and budgeting sessions, City Council discussed the idea of hiring an IS Specialist to support the Police Department to accommodate the current and future IS support demands. As such, the City Council earmarked and "parked" necessary monies to fund the Specialist position if the City decided to move forward. Staff is therefore requesting City Council to release the earmarked funds and authorize the City Manager to hire an IS Specialist to develop, plan, install and maintain information systems, networks, and applications, and provide day -to -day operational and technical support to the 302 Police Department. This additional IS position will work directly with the Technical Services Manager and report to the Police Administrative Captain. 303 WORKLOAD & JUSTIFICATION Position summary: The Information Systems Specialist works under general supervision, develops, plans, installs, and maintains all City information systems, networks, and applications, and provides day -to -day operational and technical support.

Once systems are online and functioning, dedicated hours for ongoing maintenance will be necessary. Platform Migrations: Numerous servers, desktops and databases are currently running on non- supported operating systems or application versions. These are creating security risks as Microsoft no longer provides support or security patches to keep these products current. For example, Windows XP machines must be upgraded to Windows 7/10, Server 2003 needs to be upgraded to Server 2012/2016, and 2003 SQL Databases need to be upgraded to SQL 2012/2016. • Currently, there are no available work hours during the month to perform these migrations. It is estimated that between 520 - 1039 hours are needed to complete these migration projects. The time needed for the above identified responsibilities and tasks total 348 monthly hours. This does not include any time dedicated to the Platform Migration projects. Based on the annual working hour average of 2080 hours, Police IS technical support needs are equivalent to 2 full time employees. Additional dedicated resources are required to complete the platform migration proj ects. 306 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 6, 2016 AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney with Vision Technology Solutions, LLC, DBA Vision Internet Providers to design and replace the City's website. (Fiscal Impact: $250,000). RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Authorize the City Manager to enter in an agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney with Vision Technology Solutions to design and replace the City's website in an amount not to exceed $250,000. (2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

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 (Copyright © 2000), 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 2015/2016 fiscal year to address the need to improve the website's functionality and modernize its design. 1 1 307 On August 17, 2016, Staff released a Request for Proposal for the design and replacement of the City's website and seven (7) vendors submitted responses. Each vendor presented their product and capabilties to an Evaluation Team. The Website Evaluation Team consisted of member representatives from every City Department. Following these proposal reviews and presentations, two (2) vendors were invited to a "question- answer" session with the Evaluation Team. Based on all the information, the Evaluaiton Team unanimously selected Vision Technology Solutions to provide the website design services. The primary reasons for selecting Vision Technologies included: • Vast amount of experience with local governments (over 700) including Manhattan Beach, La Mirada, Newport Beach, Simi Valley, West Hollywood, Palm Springs, Santa Clara, Santa Clarita, and Torrance. • All positive references. • High level of security for their hosted server site. • Vendor location — El Segundo. • High level of training commitment. • High level of support commitment. • Research approach included community involvement. • Enhanced capability for mobile application design (Sole vendor). • Project team was very responsive to all meetings and requests. On Tuesday, November 15, 2016, a sub - committee of the City's Technology Committee interviewed representatives from Vision Technoloy Solutions to clarify the technical aspects of Vision Technology Solution's website product and approach. Additionally, the Technology Committee met on November 30, 2016, and following a lengthy discussion, the Committee had no concerns or objections regarding the City website project. Therefore, Staff recommends contracting with Vision Technology Solutions to complete the design and replacement of our City website in an amount not to exceed $250,000. During the recent strategic planning sessions, City Council identified and "parked" an additional $256,100 to be utilized for technology projects including the redesign of the City's website. Staff is requesting Council to reallocate $100,000 of these funds from the Non - Departmental Technology "Parking Lot" to the website project. This additional funding will be necessary to maintain the website on a vendor hosted server for five (5) years, create interfaces to vital software applications, and maintain accessibilty guidelines (WCAG 2.0 AA) set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The anticipated timeline to complete the website redesign is approximately 27 to 30 weeks, following the execution of the agreement. 1: EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 6, 2016 AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding 1) Adoption of a Resolution establishing a new monthly health contribution for unrepresented hourly employees considered full -time under the Affordable Care Act. Fiscal Impact: $8,160.00 annual cost savings. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Adopt the reduced monthly health contribution for unrepresented hourly employees. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1. Resolution establishing a reduced monthly health contribution for unrepresented hourly employees as defined by the Affordable Care Act. FISCAL IMPACT: Amount Budgeted: $ 26,880 Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): Salary and Benefit departmental budgets for employees electing coverage ORIGINATED BY: Mayra Houston, Human Resources Manager REVIEWED BY: Martha A. Dijkstra, Director of Human Resources 41 APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Effective January 1, 2015, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) required employers with 100 or more employees to offer affordable, minimum essential health insurance coverage to employees who meet the definition of a "full- time" employee. Under the Act, a full -time employee is someone who works an average of thirty (30) hours a week during the designated measurement period (October — October). Under the Act, employers may be subject to penalties for 1) not offering minimum essential coverage to at least 70% of eligible employees and /or 2) not offering affordable coverage. The City offers minimum essential coverage and affordable coverage to its permanent full -time employee population, so it is not subject to these penalties for this group of employees. However, every October, Staff is required to conduct an affordability calculation analysis for all hourly unrepresented employees qualifying for coverage under the ACA. At its February 17, 2015 meeting, Council approved a monthly medical contribution of $280 to satisfy the affordability requirement for all eligible unrepresented hourly employees at that time. In October 2015, staff conducted the annual affordability analysis which resulted in "no change" to the 12 monthly contribution. Staff's recently completed affordability analysis indicates the City has the option to reduce its monthly medical contribution amount from $280 to $195 and still remain compliant with the ACA. The $195 is based on two eligible employees in this group who must be 309 offered a monthly contribution that is slightly above $194 to make their coverage affordable. Under the Public Employees and Medical Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA), the City must provide the same contribution to all employees in the same group so the City does not have the ability to pay premiums for employees based upon an individual affordability calculation. Below is a chart illustrating the City's affordability calculation.

Therefore, the fiscal impact information is based upon a maximum exposure calculation, and the actual cost to the City will be dependent upon the number of employees who select the offered coverage. With the reduction in the monthly contributions, based upon eight (8) qualifying employees at $2,340 per year ($195 /month), the annual maximum fiscal impact is estimated at $18,720; representing $8,160 potential cost savings. Therefore, staff recommends that Council approve reducing the monthly medical contribution for unrepresented hourly employees from $280 to $195. In order to implement this new contribution amount through CalPERS, Staff recommends approval of the attached Health Resolution for unrepresented hourly employees. 310 RESOLUTION NO.

Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Proposed ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A ORIGINATED BY: City Attorney's office APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On November 16, 2016, the City Council considered three ordinances in light of the statewide initiative adopted by voters entitled the "Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act ": two ordinances (an urgency ordinance and a regular, non - urgency ordinance) expressly prohibited commercial marijuana activity in the city, and a third, urgency ordinance prohibiting permit issuance for marijuana - related land uses within the City for 45 -days. After receiving public comment and directing changes to the language related to outdoor personal cultivation, the City Council adopted the two urgency ordinances (which took effect immediately) and introduced for first reading the regular, non - urgency ordinance. This item is the second reading of the non - urgency ordinance (introduction of an identical non - urgency ordinance at the same meeting at which an urgency ordinance is adopted is a common method used to "back up" the action taken in the urgency ordinance). The City Council may waive second reading and adopt the Ordinance. If adopted, the Ordinance will become effective in 30 days. 1 1 314 BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On November 8, 2016, the voters approved a statewide initiative entitled the "Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act" (the "AUMA "). The AUMA controls and regulates the cultivation, processing, manufacture, distribution, testing and sale of nonmedical marijuana, including marijuana products, for use by adults 21 years of age or older. The AUMA does not, and cannot, affect federal laws and regulations pertaining to marijuana or its derivatives. The AUMA expressly preserves local control over the regulation of marijuana - related business and marijuana - related land uses. The following are some of the key provisions in the AUMA: • It is now lawful under state and local law for persons 21 years of age or older to possess, process, transport, purchase, obtain, or give away to persons 21 years of age or older without any compensation whatsoever up to 28.5 grams of marijuana in the form of concentrated cannabis or not more than eight grams of marijuana in the form of concentrated cannabis contained within marijuana products. (Health & Safety Code § 11362.1, subds. (a)(1) and (a)(2).) A person 21 years of age or older may possess, plant, cultivate, harvest, dry, or process not more than six living marijuana plants and possess the marijuana produced by the plants. (Health & Safety Code § 11362.1, subd. (a)(3).) A city or county may adopt and enforce reasonable regulations pertaining this personal cultivation of marijuana, but no city or county may completely prohibit the personal cultivation of marijuana if it is conducted within a private residence or within an accessory structure to a private residence. (Health & Safety Code § 11362.2, subds. (b)(1) and (b)(2).) • Local jurisdictions may adopt and enforce local ordinances to regulate state - licensed marijuana business, including, but not limited to, local zoning and land use requirements, business license requirements, and requirements related to reducing exposure to secondhand smoke. Local jurisdictions may also completely prohibit the establishment or operation of one or more types of marijuana - related businesses licensed pursuant to the AUMA. (Business & Professions Code § 26200.) • Local jurisdictions may not prevent transportation of marijuana or marijuana products on public roads by a state licensee transporting marijuana or marijuana products in compliance with state law. • The AUMA does not permit smoking of marijuana in public places or other places where tobacco smoking is prohibited, and prescribes penalties for violators. (Health & Safety Code §§ 11362.3, subds. (a)(1) and (a)(2); 11362.4, subds. (a) and (b).) Marijuana uses are known to result in negative direct and secondary impacts on the health, safety and welfare of citizens, particularly when unregulated. These negative impacts include illegal sales and distribution of marijuana, trespassing, theft, violent robberies and robbery attempts, fire hazards and building hazards, and offensive odors. In addition to the negative effects recited above, marijuana cultivation and distribution can attract crime, lead to fires, expose minors to 2 315 marijuana, negatively impact neighborhoods, damage buildings, require dangerous electrical alterations and use, and create the nuisance of strong and noxious odors.' In Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal and commercialized, marijuana - related traffic deaths increased 92% from 2010 to 2014 while all traffic deaths increased only 8 percent during the same time period .2 Use of marijuana by Colorado teens ages 12 -17 is at least 56% higher than the national average.3 A study released in May 2016 by AAA Foundation for Traffic Research found that fatal crashed involving drivers who recently used marijuana doubled in the state of Washington after it legalized marijuana.4 Such studies are available for public review in the City Clerk's office. Based on these facts and other evidence, there is a concern that the proliferation of marijuana - related businesses and activities in the City would result in increased crime and other negative secondary effects like those experienced in other communities throughout California and around the country. By expressly prohibiting commercial marijuana activities and marijuana cultivation to the maximum extent authorized by State law, the City can further safeguard against the detrimental secondary impacts associated with such activities. A complete prohibition on commercial marijuana activities in the City of El Segundo is necessary to avoid the deleterious secondary effects of such activity as detailed herein. Moreover, the possession, use, transportation, distribution, sale, and other marijuana- related activities, for medical or recreational purposes, remain illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act. Marijuana is classified as a Schedule 1 substance; a designation reserved for substances with a high propensity for abuse and addiction, and lacking any recognized medical benefits. Presently, the Municipal Code prohibits commercial cannabis activities, cultivation of medical cannabis, delivery of medical cannabis, medical marijuana dispensaries, and medical marijuana collectives throughout the city. The proposed ordinance extends the prohibition to all commercial marijuana activities that are now permissible under state law. The ordinance adds Chapter 14 to Title 4 and amends Chapter 11 of Title 7 to expressly prohibit all commercial marijuana activities (regardless of purpose). With regard to person cultivation, the ordinance allows outdoor cultivation of marijuana in accordance with state law, and allows the cultivation of up to six plants within a private residence. Under the AUMA, cities and counties may not completely prohibit indoor personal cultivation of up to six marijuana plants, but may enact and enforce reasonable regulations pertaining to personal, indoor cultivation.

On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 215, codified as Health and Safety Code Section 11362.5 et seq., and entitled the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 ( "CUA "). The CUA exempts qualified patients and their primary caregivers from criminal liability under state law for the possession and cultivation of marijuana for personal medical use. B. The intent of the CUA was to enable persons in the State of California who are in need of marijuana for medicinal purposes to obtain it and use it under limited, specified circumstances. C. The State enacted Senate Bill 420 in October 2003, codified a Health and Safety Section 11362.7, et seq., ( "Medical Marijuana Program Act," or "MMPA ") to clarify the scope of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and to allow cities and other governing bodies to adopt and enforce rules and regulations consistent with SB 420. The MMPA created a state - approved voluntary medical marijuana identification card program and provided for certain additional immunities from state marijuana laws. Assembly Bill 2650 (2010) and Assembly Bill 1300 (2011) amended the Medical Marijuana Program to expressly recognize the authority of counties and cities to "[a]dopt local ordinances that regulate the location, operation, or establishment of a medical marijuana cooperative or collective" and to civilly and criminally enforce such ordinances. D. The CUA and MMPA do not "legalize" marijuana, but provide limited defenses to certain categories of individuals with respect to certain conduct and certain state criminal offenses. E. In City of Riverside v. Inland Empire Patients Health and Wellness Center, Inc. (2013) 56 CalAth 729, the California Supreme Court held that "[n]othing in the CUA or the MMP expressly or impliedly limits the inherent authority of a local jurisdiction, by its own ordinances, to regulate the use of its land...." Additionally, in Maral v. City of Live Oak (2013) 221 Cal.AppAth 975, the Court of Appeal held that "there is no right — and certainly no constitutional right — to cultivate medical marijuana....." The Court in Page 1 of 8 317 Maral affirmed the ability of a local governmental entity to prohibit the cultivation of marijuana under its land use authority. F. The Federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 801 et seq., classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 Drug, which is defined as a drug or other substance that has a high potential for abuse, that has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United State, and that has not been accepted as safe for use under medical supervision. The Federal Controlled Substances Act makes it unlawful under federal law for any person to cultivate, manufacture, distribute or dispense, or possess with intent to manufacture, distribute or dispense, marijuana. The Federal Controlled Substances Act contains no exemption for medical purposes. G. On October 9, 2015 Governor Brown signed three bills into law (AB 266, AB 243, and SB 643) which collectively are known as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act ( "MMRSA "). MMRSA established a State licensing scheme for commercial medical marijuana uses while protecting local control by requiring that all such businesses must have a local license or permit to operate in addition to a State license. MMRSA allows a City to completely prohibit commercial medical marijuana activities. H. The City Council finds that commercial medical marijuana activities, as well as cultivation for personal medical use as allowed by the CUA and MMP can adversely affect the health, safety, and well -being of City residents. Citywide prohibition is proper and necessary to avoid the risks of criminal activity, degradation of the natural environment, malodorous smells and indoor electrical fire hazards that may result from such activities. Further, as recognized by the Attorney General's August 2008 Guidelines for the Security and Non - Diversion of Marijuana Grown for Medical Use, marijuana cultivation or other concentration of marijuana in any location or premises without adequate security increases the risk that surrounding homes or businesses may be negatively impacted by nuisance activity such as loitering or crime. I. The limited immunity from specified state marijuana laws provided by the Compassionate Use Act and Medical Marijuana Program does not confer a land use right or the right to create or maintain a public nuisance. J. MMRSA contained language that required the city to prohibit cultivation uses either expressly or otherwise under the principles of permissive zoning, or the State would become the sole licensing authority. MMRSA also contained language that required delivery services to be expressly prohibited by local ordinance, if the City wished to do so. K. On March 1, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1518 prohibiting commercial cannabis activities, cultivation of medical cannabis, delivery of medical cannabis, medical marijuana dispensaries, and medical marijuana collectives throughout the City. Page 2 of 8 318 L. On November 8, 2016, the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA). The AUMA decriminalizes (under California law), controls and regulates the cultivation, processing, manufacture, distribution, testing and sale of nonmedical marijuana, including marijuana products, for use by adults 21 years of age or older. The AUMA also taxes the commercial growth and retail sale of marijuana. It does not, and cannot, affect federal regulations as to marijuana or its derivatives. M. The AUMA expressly preserves local control over the regulation of marijuana - related businesses and marijuana - related land uses (Business & Professions Code § 26200, et seq.) The City Council wishes to prohibit all commercial marijuana activity to the maximum extent authorized by State law. N. A complete prohibition on commercial marijuana activities in the City of El Segundo is necessary to avoid the deleterious secondary effects of such activity as detailed herein. In addition to the negative effects recited above, marijuana cultivation and distribution can attract crime, lead to fires, expose minors to marijuana, negatively impact neighborhoods, damage buildings, require dangerous electrical alterations and use, and create the nuisance of strong and noxious odors. (White Paper on Marijuana Dispensaries, California Police Chiefs Association's Task Force on Marijuana Dispensaries, April 22, 2009, p. 12.) In Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal and commercialized, marijuana - related traffic deaths increased 92% from 2010 to 2014 while all traffic deaths increased only 8 percent during the same time period. (The Legalization of Marijuana in Colorado: The Impact, Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, Vol. 3, September 2015, pp. 14 -15.) Use of marijuana by Colorado teens ages 12 -17 is at least 56% higher than the national average. (Id. at pp. 35 -36.) A study released in May 2016 by AAA Foundation for Traffic Research found that fatal crashed involving drivers who recently used marijuana doubled in the state of Washington after it legalized marijuana. (Prevalence of Marijuana Involvement in Fatal Crashes: Washington, 2010 -2014, May 2016, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.) Based on these facts and other evidence, there is a concern that the proliferation of marijuana - related businesses and land uses in the City would result in increased crime and other negative secondary effects like those experienced in other communities throughout California and around the country. By expressly prohibiting marijuana - related businesses and marijuana - related land uses to the maximum extent authorized by State law, the City can further safeguard against the detrimental secondary impacts associated with such activities. SECTION 2: Authority. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to the authority granted by the California Constitution and State law, including but not limited to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the Compassionate Use Act, the Medical Marijuana Program Act, the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, and the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act. SECTION 3: A new Chapter 14 entitled "Marijuana" is added to Title 4 of the El Segundo Municipal Code to read as follows: Page 3 of 8 319 "Chapter 14 MARIJUANA 4 -14 -1 Definitions. 4 -14 -2 Commercial marijuana activity — Prohibited. 4 -14 -3 Cultivation of marijuana for personal use. 4 -14 -4 Severability. 4 -14 -5 Interpretation. 4 -14 -1 Definitions.

SECTION 5: Environmental Review. The City Council finds that this ordinance does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment and, therefore, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3). The ordinance amends the El Segundo Municipal Code to expressly prohibit commercial marijuana activities and outdoor cultivation of marijuana in the City. The ordinance does not portend any development or changes to the physical environment. Further, the City Council finds that this ordinance is Page 6 of 8 322 categorically exempt from further CEQA review under 14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15305 (minor alterations in land use limitations) and 15308 (actions taken as authorized by local ordinance to assure protection of the environment). The City is not aware of any existing marijuana commercial uses in El Segundo and the proposed ordinance would maintain the status quo. Following an evaluation of possible adverse impacts, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. SECTION 6: Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council's intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance. SECTION 7: Enforceability. Repeal of any provision of the El Segundo Municipal Code does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance. SECTION 8: 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 9: 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 days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

It is anticipated an additional amount of $61,000 will be necessary to meet the needs of the Finance Department for the next four to five months, bringing the contract total to an amount not to exceed $155,000. Because this amendment to the agreement exceeds $25,000, City Council approval is required. At this time, staff is requesting City Council approve a third amendment to the agreement for an additional amount of $61,000.00, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for Accountemps to provide temporary staffing services to the Finance Department. As part of the approved FY 2016 -17 Budget, a full -time accountant is included in the budgeted in the amount of $112,588. Since this position is currently vacant and is not anticipated to be filled until spring 2017, salary savings will be used to cover the third amendment. Accountemps has provided customer service consistent with their agreement terms and conditions. 14 325 Agreement No. 4810C THIRD AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT NO. 4810 BETWEEN THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO AND ROBERT HALF INTERNATIONAL INC., DOING BUSINESS THROUGH ITS DIVISIONS OFFICETEAM AND ACCOUNTEMPS THIS THIRD AMENDMENT ( "Amendment ") is made and entered into this 6th day of December 2016, by and between the CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, a general law city and municipal corporation existing under the laws of California ( "CITY "), and ROBERT HALF INTERNATIONAL INC., a Delaware Corporation, doing business through its divisions OFFICETEAM and ACCOUNTEMPS ( "STAFFING FIRM "). 1.
