Create effective structure for integrated focus on the technology needs of the City and its constituents ORIGINATED BY: Scott Kim, Acting Information Systems Director REVIEWED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The Technology Committee is currently comprised of seven (7) voting members who are appointed by City Council with two, non-voting liaison members from City Council. The members serve 4-year terms. The committee was established in 2016 as an advisory body to the City Council. Current members of the Technology Committee are: David Froemke, Chair Paul Lanyi, Vice Chair 4 Lindsey Breeden, Member Brian Hauer, Member Tori Lieberstein, Member Tom Vanek, Member Council Member Carol Pirsztuk, Liaison Member Mayor Pro Tem Drew Boyles, Liaison Member The committee currently has one vacancy. The Technology Committee is recommending that the City Council increase its membership from seven (7) to eleven (11). For current Technology Committee Member terms for appointment were not made to stagger members to prevent turnover of the entire committee at one time. To resolve this Staff recommends new appointees serve a 5-year term which would end there term two years after current Technology Committee Members. David Froemke (Chair) - Currently the City has a known backlog of over 70 technology projects with estimated costs near $18 million dollars. This existing project list helps the City catch up on expired IT infrastructure related technologies and those nearing expiration. Additionally,these numbers were formulated in 2015 and this list is growing. Since then the Council has created and is actively working with new Goals and Strategies, which were not taken in to account when these projects were budgeted for. We feel the number of projects will grow as will the costs. In order to help, we'd like to grow our passionate group of executive level leaders and provide the highest level of support possible. We hope you will approve our request to grow the group to 11 members. If the City Council approves of the increase, the increased number of members will be memorialized in the Committee's by-laws, which will be brought back to Council for its approval at a later date. Currently staff is working with members of the Technology Committee to better define the roles of the Technology Committee members and staff as the City enhances its technology to better meet the needs of the City of El Segundo's businesses and residents The bylaws for the Technology Committee are being updated and when completed will be brought back to Council for approval. 5 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 19, 2017 AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Committees, Commissions and Boards AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to interview candidates of the Technology Committee.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) FISCAL IMPACT: Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal: 5(b) Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability: El Segundo approaches its work in a financially disciplined and responsible way Objective: 2 The City will maintain a stable, efficient, and transparent financial environment PREPARED BY: Joseph Lillio, Director of Fin M�-- APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND: After adopting the City's first three-year strategic plan in 2016, the City revisited the strategic planning process by holding its first strategic planning session on July 11,2017.A second meeting was held on August 8, 2017. The community and staff were encouraged to attend and participate in the sessions. During these open sessions, City Council and staff discussed any changes to the goals and objectives that need to be revised or new ones added to the plan. Also discussed was the Council priorities for the next year. This analysis was used to help update the strategic plan document itself,as well as the associated work plan. Based on decisions at these planning sessions, the goals, objectives and activities were either confirmed or updated and incorporated into the strategic planning document 22 The attached updated three-year strategic plan incorporates the direction City Council provided to staff during the 2017 strategic planning meetings. The strategic plan begins with a message from the City Manager and includes the following sections: ■ Executive Summary • Opportunities and Challenges Facing El Segundo ■ Strategic Plan Components • El Segundo Mission, Vision, Values and Culture • Goals & Top Council Priorties • Appendix: Work Plan for FY 2018 The mission, "Provide a great place to live,work and visit," serves as the foundation for the City's five major goals. These goals are: 1. Enhance Customer Service and Engagement; 2. Support Community Safety and Preparedness; 3. Develop as a Choice Employer and Workforce; 4. Develop Quality Infrastructure and Technology; and 5. Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability. Identifying these goals has enabled the City to align its efforts and resources to accomplish the goals and achieve positive progress for the community of El Segundo. This plan sets the course for the City of El Segundo to ensure the City's mission is accomplished. The three-year Strategic Plan is a living document and should not be considered static by any means. The strategic plan features a framework that can be adjusted based on the current needs of the community. The goals, objectives, activities, and key performance indicators (KPIs) will be reviewed annually and Council can modify these if necessary. Also, on a quarterly basis the City will provide updates on the progress and performance of the work plan and updates on the KPIs. As such, the plan may be modified to ensure that stated goals are aligned with the needs of the community. The City's quarterly updates will include a status column that delineates whether there is compliance with each activity. Green - Current compliance with stated activity: City has fully implemented the stated activity. Yellow# Current non-compliance with stated activity: City activity is not fully implemented as identified in the Strategic Plan but the estimated date to achieve full implementation is deliniated in"Next Steps to Compliance". Red : Current non-compliance and cannot comely with stated activitip: City activity is not currently attainable as identified in the Strategic Plan and staff 23 recommends suspending attempts to pursue implementation at this time. This may necessitate a change in the activity in the future. Since assumptions, community needs, the economy, legislation and other factors upon which this plan is based continue to change, it is necessary that this be considered as the beginning, rather than an end, to managing the organization and serving El Segundo's community. Furthermore, with the adoption of the 3-year strategic plan,the strategic planning and budgeting process are now linked to assure that the City's budget reflects City Council and community priorities. With the development and implementation of the strategic plan, the City of El Segundo reaffirms its commitment to continue to provide exceptional services and programs to its community. 24 ' � F 3 City oEI Segundo WIN Strategic Plan with Details 2018 t ., j 2021 w itySegundoof EI City Council 1 t v .YpY l YYY „ p Y Suzanne Drew Dr. Don Fuentes Boyles Brann Mayor Mayor Pro-Tem Councilmember s ;m Carol Michael Pirsztuk Dugan Councilmember Councilmember Table of Contents A Messaae from the Citv Manaaer ..................................................................................... 1 ExecutiveSummary................................................................................................................. 2 Opportunities and Challenaes Facina EI Seaundo........................................................... 3 Strategic Plan Components .................................................................................................. 5 Citv of EI Seaundo Mission, Vision, Values and Culture .................................................... 6 Goals and Top Council Priorities........................................................................................... 7 Goal 1 : Enhance Customer Service and Enaaaement ................................................... 9 Goal 2: Support Communitv Safetv and Preparedness................................................. 10 Goal 3: Develop as a Choice Emplover and Workforce............................................... 11 Goal 4: Develop Qualitv Infrastructure and Technoloav............................................... 12 Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainabilitv ....................... 13 Goal 1 Details: Enhance Customer Service and Enaaaement .................................... 16 Goal 2 Details: Support Communitv Safetv and Preparedness.................................... 18 Goal 3 Details: Develop as a Choice Emolover and Workforce.................................. 19 Goal 4 Details: Develop Qualitv Infrastructure and Technoloav.................................. 20 Goal 5 Details: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainabilitv .......... 22 ■ ■■■ son ■■ .

The first option is for the Council is to adopt a ballot measure that would cause the sales tax to take effect if the County places a sales tax measure on the ballot and would allow the City to continue to collect the sales tax if the County's measure passed. Alternatively,there is a second ballot measure that was prepared that is identical to the first one except that it provides for the the measure to take effect by a date certain if the County has not placed a measure on the ballot and/or it one has not passed. The Council will need to provide the date for the date certain option if the Council opts to go with that approach. The Attached December 5, 2017 staff report contains that background information related to this agenda item. Other Actions Before the Council are a few other issues. The Council needs to adopt rules with respect to ballot arguments that are submitted as part of the election. Accordingly, a resolution has been prepared in conformance with state law providing for such rules. The Council can also authorize the Council as a whole or specific Council Members to write the ballot argument in favor of the ballot measure. Finally,the Council can direct the City Attorney's Office to prepare an impartial analysis of the ballot measure to be included with ballot materials sent to the voters. 27 RESOLUTION NO.

This Proposition is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 2100, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes rules and procedures to implement government funding mechanisms; does not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, this Resolution does not constitute a "project" that requires environmental review (see specifically 14 CCR § 15378(b)(4-5)). SECTION 3: Continuity. Repeal of any provision of the EI 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.

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 5: Validity of Previous Code Sections. If this the entire Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal of the ESMC or other regulation by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such ESMC provision or other regulation to remain in full force and effect for all purposes.

Should the provisions of Government Code §§ 53720 et seq. or California Constitution Article XIIIC be repealed or amended, or interpreted by the courts so that voter approval is not required for enacting this Ordinance, then this Ordinance will take effect as provided for all other City ordinances and may be amended in the same manner as all other City ordinances.

If any section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion of this Proposition is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision does not affect the validity of the remaining 8 37 portions of this Proposition. The voters declare that this Proposition, and each section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion thereof, would have been adopted or passed irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, sub-sections, sentences, clauses, phrases, part, or portion is found to be invalid. If any provision of this Proposition is held invalid as applied to any person or circumstance, such invalidity does not affect any application of this Proposition that can be given effect without the invalid application. B. If any portion of this Proposition is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, we the People indicate our strong desire that: (i) the City Council use its best efforts to sustain and reenact that portion, and (ii) the City Council implement this Proposition by taking all steps possible to cure any inadequacies or deficiencies identified by the court in a manner consistent with the express and implied intent of this Proposition, and then adopting or reenacting such portion as necessary or desirable to permit the planning and development of the Project.

The City will suspend collection of the taxes authorized by this chapter so long as a district does not place a measure on the ballot seeking voter authorization for a new or increased retail transactions and use tax in accordance with the provisions of Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Sections 7285 or 7285.5 of Part 1.7 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. C. Should a district place a transaction and use tax measure on the ballot as contemplated by Subsection B, then the City will promptly commence collection of the taxes authorized by this chapter. D. Should a ballot measure contemplated by Subsection C fail to become effective then, notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the City will suspend collection of the taxes authorized by this chapter. E. Nothing in this Section is intended to, nor will it, limit the number of times the City may suspend or implement tax collection authorized by this chapter based upon the actions contemplated in Subsections B through C. F. Revenue from any taxes collected between the time periods contemplated by Subsections C through C may be retained by the City for general purposes and need not be refunded. 3-7-150: SUSPENSION OR REDUCTION. Nothing in this Chapter requires the City Council to collect a tax; the city council may suspend or reduce tax rates imposed by this chapter by resolution after a public hearing. 3-7-160: CITY COUNCIL AUTHORITY TO AMEND. Except for amendments that would increase the tax rate, impose the tax on transactions and uses not previously subject to the tax, or be inconsistent with the purposes of this chapter, the City Council may exercise all applicable powers set forth in the Government Code including, without limitation, amending this chapter by ordinance upon three affirmative votes by its members. It may, in additional, adopt by ordinance or resolution such additional regulations that may be necessary to implement the purposes of this chapter." SECTION 2: Environmental Analysis. This Proposition is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 2100, et 7 48 seq., "CEQK) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes rules and procedures to implement government funding mechanisms; does not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, this Resolution does not constitute a "project" that requires environmental review (see specifically 14 CCR § 15378(b)(4-5)). SECTION 3: Continuity. Repeal of any provision of the EI 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 4: 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 5: Validity of Previous Code Sections. If this the entire Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal of the ESMC or other regulation by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such ESMC provision or other regulation to remain in full force and effect for all purposes. SECTION 6: Voter Approval. This Proposition will enact and impose a general tax. Accordingly, it will be submitted to a general election on April 10, 2018 for voter approval. If a majority of voters vote in favor of this Proposition, it will become valid and binding on the date that the City Council certifies the election results. Should the provisions of Government Code §§ 53720 et seq. or California Constitution Article XIIIC be repealed or amended, or interpreted by the courts so that voter approval is not required for enacting this Ordinance, then this Ordinance will take effect as provided for all other City ordinances and may be amended in the same manner as all other City ordinances. SECTION 7: Miscellaneous. A. This Proposition must be interpreted so as to be consistent with all federal and state laws, rules, and regulations. If any section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion of this Proposition is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision does not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Proposition. The voters declare that this Proposition, and each section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion thereof, would have been adopted or passed irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, sub-sections, sentences, clauses, phrases, part, 8 49 or portion is found to be invalid. If any provision of this Proposition is held invalid as applied to any person or circumstance, such invalidity does not affect any application of this Proposition that can be given effect without the invalid application. B. If any portion of this Proposition is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, we the People indicate our strong desire that: (i) the City Council use its best efforts to sustain and reenact that portion, and (ii) the City Council implement this Proposition by taking all steps possible to cure any inadequacies or deficiencies identified by the court in a manner consistent with the express and implied intent of this Proposition, and then adopting or reenacting such portion as necessary or desirable to permit the planning and development of the Project.

The tax is proposed to be implemented based upon whether another County sales tax is put on the ballot and passes. (Fiscal Impact: $0 for FY 2017-18 & $9,000,000 annually once implemented) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Adopt the resolutions necessary to place the sales tax ballot measure on the April 10, 2018 election; 2. Adopt a resolution setting forth the requirements for ballot arguments relating to ballot measures placed on the April 10, 2018 election; 3. Authorize the Council or Council Members to be the authors of a ballot argument in favor of the ballot measure (optional); 4. Adopt a resolution directing the City Attorney to draft an impartial analysis of the sales tax ballot measure (optional); and/or, 5. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: A. Draft Ordinance B. Three Draft Resolutions. FISCAL IMPACT: Approximately $9 million in annual revenue during the period that the sales tax is implemented. Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): 001-300-0000-3201 STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal: 5(b) Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability: El Segundo approaches its work in a financially disciplined and responsible way Objective: 2 The City will maintain a stable, efficient, and transparent financial environment ORIGINATED BY: Mark Hensley, City Attorney REVIEWED BY: Joseph Lillio, Director of Finance APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND: 58 Sales Tax Ballot Measure During the Strategic Planning process and at recent Council Meetings, the Council inquired about and directed staff to prepare the documents necessary for the Council to potentially take action to place a 3/4 cent sales tax on the ballot. Under state law these are referred to as Transaction and Use Taxes("sales tax"). Currently, state law caps sales tax within each County at 10.25%. The current sales tax rate in El Segundo, in Los Angeles cities that have not imposed their own sales tax, and in unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County is 9.5%. Thus,the City has the ability to impose its own .75% sales tax and remain within the 10.25% cap. Members of the Council have expressed their concerns and believe that the County will seek to impose in the near future additional sales tax ballot measures which will curtail the City's ability to impose its own sales tax, and divert money to the County rather than put the revenues into the City's coffers. It is anticipated that the City will within approximately two years will not be able to balance its budget unless it can significantly cut its expenses and/or increase its revenues. The costs of the City employees' retirement plan is the cause of the projected budget shortfall. Based upon direction from the Council, attached are the resolutions necessary to place the sales tax measure on the April ballot. The measure is written such that the while the tax would be approved and in place if it is approved by the voters, that it will be suspended until such time as the County places a sales tax measure on the ballot. If the measure fails then the sales tax will be once again suspended. If the measure passes,then the sales tax will remain in force. The sales tax would generate approximately$9 million annually when it is in force. The sales tax would be paid by everyone purchasing taxable goods within the City with some limited exceptions set forth in state law which are included in the ballot measure. However with regard to the sale of automobiles, vessels (boats), and aircraft, the sales tax would be paid by residents of the City regardless of whether the purchase is made within or outside of the City's boundaries. City's Financial Forecast During Fiscal Years (FY) 2016-17 and 2017-18, the City has adopted a balanced budget, while also fully funding the General Fund reserve policy of 18%,fully funding the Economic Uncertainty reserve policy of$2,000,000 and having remaining funds that City Council approved to be used towards achieving policy objectives of serving the community, making infrastructure improvements throughout the City,and strategically making additional payments on City liabilities that result in long-term financial savings to the City. It is anticipated that the City will begin to experience structural budget deficits beginning in FY 2018-19 and material structural deficits beginning in FY 2019-20 through the late-2030s. The structural budget deficits beginning in FY 2018-19 through FY 2023-24 are anticipated to be: • Approximately$400,000 in FY 2018-19 ■ Approximately$1,500,000 in FY 2019-20; • Approximately $3,300,000 in FY 2020-21; • Approximately $4,500,000 in FY 2021-22; • Approximately $5,500,000 in FY 2022-23; and 59 • Approximately $6,000,000 in FY 2023-24. Without any changes to the revenue structure, the annual structural budget deficit is anticipated to maintain a level amount around $6,000,000 through the early 2030s and then begin to taper down through the late 2030s. These assumptions do not include much needed capital funding towards aging City infrastructure and facilities improvements, which is currently estimated to be $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 per year. Funding the infrastructure needs coupled with the structural deficit, leaves the City with the requirement to address the long-term fiscal health of the City. The main driver of the structural deficit is the fact that revenues are anticipated to grow by a modest 1.5%to 2% annually, while expenditures are growing at an annual pace of 2.5%-4%. The higher growth in the expenditure assumption is primarily due to the change in the discount rate (assumed long-term annual rate of return) used to determine the long-term rate of return on public employees' pensions invested and managed by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (Ca1PERS). In December 2016, the Ca1PERS Board of Administration (the "Board) approved to lower the CalPERS discount rate assumption. The discount rate was adjusted from 7.5% to 7.0%. This adjustment will be phased in over a three year period. This Board action results in a direct increase of public agency contribution costs beginning in FY 2018-19. The phase-in of the discount rate change approved by the Board for the next three years is as follows: FY Required Contribution Discount Rate 2018-19 7.375% 2019-20 7.25% 2020-21 7.00% Lowering the discount rate means the City's pension plan for City staff will see an increase in the cost of pension benefits. These increases will result in higher required employer contributions beginning in FY 2018-19 for the City and will steadily increase each year through 2023-24. If at some point in the future the Ca1PERS Board chooses to lower the discount rate even further, this would have additional negative budgetary impacts on the City that have not been factored into this analysis. The .75% sales tax will also address the funding of general municipal services currently provided to residents and the local business community. The City residents and business community rightfully have high expectations of the level of service provided by the City. The proposed proposition authorizing a.75%local sales tax would be used to help maintain the exceptional level of municipal services, including, police and fire services, rapid response to emergencies, services to youth and senior citizens, recreation and park programs, recreation facilities, library facilities and services to maintain and repair City streets and other infrastructure. 60 Thus, the proposal for the City to impose its own .75% sales tax and generate about $9,000,000 annually,will help to address the structural budget deficits that are anticipated in the coming years and enable the City to maintain its current level of excellent service to the community. Other Actions Before the Council are a few other issues. The Council needs to adopt rules with respect to ballot arguments that are submitted as part of the election. Accordingly, a resolution has been prepared in conformance with state law providing for such rules. The Council can also authorize the Council as a whole or specific Council Members to write the ballot argument in favor of the ballot measure. Finally, the Council can direct the City Attorney's Office to prepare an impartial analysis of the ballot measure to be included with ballot materials sent to the voters. 61 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 19, 2017 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to (1) receive and file an update on the progress of the Downtown Committee,and(2)to amend Maintenance Agreement#4096 with LandCare USA for ongoing landscape maintenance of the planters in the Downtown El Segundo corridor.

Funding guidelines established within this section support the five mission areas— Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery—and associated core capabilities within the Goal. Allowable investments made in support of the HSGP priorities as well as other capability- enhancing projects must fall into the categories of planning, organization, exercises, training, or equipment. Continuity of Operations FEMA is designated as the Department of Homeland Security's lead agency for managing the nation's Continuity Program. To support this role, FEMA provides direction and guidance to assist in developing capabilities for continuing the Federal and state,territorial, Tribal, and local (STTL)government jurisdictions and private sector organizations' essential functions across a broad spectrum of emergencies. National Security Presidential Directive 51,National Security Presidential Directive 20, the National Continuity Policy Implementation Plan(NCPIP),the Federal Continuity Directive 1(FCD 1), and Continuity Guidance Circular 1 (CGC 1), and CGC 2 outline the following overarching continuity requirements for agencies and organizations and provide guidance, methodology,and checklists. For additional information on continuity programs, guidance, and directives,visit h1fn://www, and hrip:llivii,iv.fciria.govle:nniiirrriiy- op rations or you may contact your Revion al Conlinvifv"anepeer. Planning(SHSP and UASI only) SHSP and UASI funds may be used for a range of emergency preparedness and management planning activities and such as those associated with the development of the THIRA, SPR, continuity of operations plans and other planning activities that support the Goal and placing an emphasis on updating and maintaining a current EOP that conforms to the guidelines outlined in CPG 101 v 2.0. Organization (SHSP and UASI Only) Organizational activities include: ■ Program management; • Development of whole community partnerships, through groups such as Citizen Corp Councils; Structures and mechanisms for information sharing between the public and private sector; 50 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 137 Agreement No. 5269 • Implementing models,programs, and workforce enhancement initiatives to address ideologically-inspired radicalization to violence in the homeland; • Tools, resources and activities that facilitate shared situational awareness between the public and private sectors; ■ Operational Support; • Utilization of standardized resource management concepts such as typing, inventorying, organizing, and tracking to facilitate the dispatch, deployment, and recovery of resources before, during, and after an incident; • Responding to an increase in the threat level under the National Terrorism Advisory System(NTAS), or needs in resulting from a National Special Security Event; and • Paying salaries and benefits for personnel to serve as qualified intelligence analysts. States and Urban Areas must justify proposed expenditures of SHSP or UASI funds to support organization activities within their U submission. All SAAs are allowed to utilize up to 50 percent(50%) of their SHSP funding and all Urban Areas are allowed up to 50 percent(50%) of their UASI funding for personnel costs. At the request of a recipient of a grant,the FEMA Administrator may grant a waiver of the 50 percent(50%)limitation noted above. Requests for waivers to the personnel cap must be submitted by the authorized representative of the SAA(or recipient agency)to GPD in writing on official letterhead, with the following information: • Documentation explaining why the cap should be waived; • Conditions under which the request is being submitted; and • A budget and method of calculation of personnel costs both in percentages of the grant award and in total dollar amount. To avoid supplanting issues, the request must also include a three- year staffing history for the requesting entity. Organizational activities under SHSP and UASI include: • Intelligence analysts. Per the Personnel Reimbursement for Intelligence Cooperation and Enhancement(PRICE) of Homeland Security Act(Pub. L. No. 110-412), SHSP and UASI funds may be used to hire new staff and/or contractor positions to serve as intelligence analysts to enable information/intelligence sharing capabilities, as well as support existing intelligence analysts previously covered by SHSP or UASI funding. In order to be hired as an intelligence analyst, staff and/or contractor personnel must meet at least one of the following criteria: - Successfully complete training to ensure baseline proficiency in intelligence analysis and production within six months of being hired; and/or, - Previously served as an intelligence analyst for a minimum of two years either in a Federal intelligence agency, the military, or state and/or local law enforcement intelligence unit As identified in the priority entitled,Maturation and Enhancement of State and Major Urban Area Fusion Centers, all fusion center analytic personnel must demonstrate qualifications that meet or exceed competencies identified in the Common Competencies for State, Local, and Tribal Intelligence Analysts, which outlines the minimum categories of training needed for intelligence analysts. A certificate of completion of such training must be on file with the SAA 51 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 138 Agreement No. 5269 and must be made available to the recipient's respective Headquarters Program Analyst upon request. In addition to these training requirements, fusion centers should also continue to mature their analytic capabilities by addressing gaps in analytic capability identified during the fusion center's annual assessment. ■ Overtime costs. Overtime costs are allowable for personnel to participate in information, investigative, and intelligence sharing activities specifically related to homeland security and specifically requested by a Federal agency. Allowable costs are limited to overtime associated with Federally requested participation in eligible fusion activities, including anti- terrorism task forces, Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs),Area Maritime Security Committees(as required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002), DHS Border Enforcement Security Task Forces, and Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. Grant funding can only be used in proportion to the Federal man-hour estimate, and only after funding for these activities from other Federal sources (i.e., FBI JTTF payments to state and local agencies)has been exhausted. Under no circumstances should DHS/FEMA grant funding be used to pay for costs already supported by funding from another Federal source. ■ Operational overtime costs. In support of efforts to enhance capabilities for detecting, deterring, disrupting, and preventing acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events, operational overtime costs are allowable for increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites. SHSP or UASI funds for organizational costs may be used to support select operational expenses associated with increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites in the following authorized categories: - Backfill and overtime expenses for staffing state or Major Urban Area fusion centers; - Hiring of contracted security for critical infrastructure sites; - Participation in Regional Resiliency Assessment Program activities; - Public safety overtime; - Title 32 or state Active Duty National Guard deployments to protect critical infrastructure sites, including all resources that are part of the standard National Guard deployment package (Note: Consumable costs, such as fuel expenses, are not allowed except as part of the standard National Guard deployment package); and - Increased border security activities in coordination with CBP SHSP or UASI funds may only be spent for operational overtime costs upon prior approval provided in writing by the FEMA Administrator per the instructions in [11379. Note: States with UASI jurisdictions can use funds retained at the state level to reimburse eligible operational overtime expenses incurred by the state(per the above guidance limitations and up to a maximum of 50 percent(50%) of the state share of the UASI grant). Any UASI funds retained by the state must be used in direct support of the Urban Area. States must provide documentation to the UAWG and DHS/FEMA upon request demonstrating how any UASI funds retained by the state would directly support the Urban Area. 52 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 139 Agreement No. 5269 Equipment(SHSP and UASI) The 21 allowable prevention,protection,mitigation, response, and recovery equipment categories and equipment standards for HSGP are listed on the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) The AEL is available in PDF format at hutis 11vv v wkn t.voi'l►►rc dia- lifa►urv�irsse�.slrla[trrrze�7r.►111115��. Unless otherwise stated, equipment must meet all mandatory regulatory and/or DHS/FEMA-adopted standards to be eligible for purchase using these funds. In addition, agencies will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all necessary certifications and licenses for the requested equipment. Grant funds may be used for the procurement of medical countermeasures. Procurement of medical countermeasures must be conducted in collaboration with state/city/local health departments who administer Federal funds from HHS for this purpose and with existing MMRS committees where available, in order to sustain their long term planning for appropriate,rapid, and local medical countermeasures, including antibiotics and antidotes for nerve agents, cyanide, and other toxins. Procurement must have a sound threat based justification with an aim to reduce the consequences of mass casualty incidents during the first crucial hours of a response. Prior to procuring pharmaceuticals, recipients must have in place an inventory management plan to avoid large periodic variations in supplies due to coinciding purchase and expiration dates. Recipients are encouraged to enter into rotational procurement agreements with vendors and distributors. Purchases of pharmaceuticals must include a budget for the disposal of expired drugs within each fiscal year's period of performance for HSGP. The cost of disposal cannot be carried over to another DHS/FEMA grant or grant period. Training(SHSP and UASI) Allowable training-related costs under HSGP include the establishment, support, conduct, and attendance of training specifically identified under the SHSP and UASI programs and/or in conjunction with emergency preparedness training by other Federal agencies (e.g., HHS and DOT). Training conducted using HSGP funds should address a performance gap identified through an AAR/IP or other assessments (e.g.,National Emergency Communications Plan NECP Goal Assessments) and contribute to building a capability that will be evaluated through a formal exercise. Any training or training gaps, including those for children, older adults, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities and others who also have or access and functional needs, should be identified in the AARAP and addressed in the state or Urban Area training cycle. Recipients are encouraged to use existing training rather than developing new courses. When developing new courses, recipients are encouraged to apply the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation model of instructional design using the C'o__ arra Deve-lonniew Tool. Exercises (SHSP and UASI) Exercises conducted with grant funding should be managed and conducted consistent with HSEEP. HSEEP guidance for exercise design, development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning is located at Iall13s:1/tvza�.fe�rtu.�4�1�,rerci,se. Maintenance and Sustainment(SHSP, UASI, and OPSG) The use of DHS/FEMA preparedness grant funds for maintenance contracts, warranties, repair or replacement costs,upgrades, and user fees are allowable, as described in FEMA Policy FP 205- 53 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 140 Agreement No. 5269 402--125-1 under all active and future grant awards,unless otherwise noted. With the exception of maintenance plans purchased incidental to the original purchase of the equipment,the period covered by maintenance or warranty plan must not exceed the period of performance of the specific grant funds used to purchase the plan or warranty. Grant funds are intended to support the Goal by funding projects that build and sustain the core capabilities necessary to prevent,protect against, mitigate the effects of, respond to, and recover from those threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation. In order to provide recipients the ability to meet this objective,the policy set forth in GPD's IB 379 (Guidance to State Administrative Agencies to Expedite the Expenditure of Certain DHS/FEMA Grant Funding) allows for the expansion of eligible maintenance and sustainment costs which must be in 1) direct support of existing capabilities; (2)must be an otherwise allowable expenditure under the applicable grant program; (3)be tied to one of the core capabilities in the five mission areas contained within the Goal, and(4) shareable through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. Additionally, eligible costs must also be in support of equipment, training, and critical resources that have previously been purchased with either Federal grant or any other source of funding other than DHS/FEMA preparedness grant program dollars. Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Allowable Costs (SHSP and UASI) Activities eligible for use of LETPA focused funds are outlined in the National Prevention !i ur�rc y►yr l� (and where capabilities are shared with the protection mission area,the National Protection Framework) and include but are not limited to: Maturation and enhancement of designated state and major Urban Area fusion centers, including information sharing and analysis,threat recognition, terrorist interdiction, and training/hiring of intelligence analysts; • Coordination between fusion centers and other analytical and investigative efforts including,but not limited to Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs),Field Intelligence Groups (FIGs), High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas(HIDTAs),Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) Centers, criminal intelligence units, and real-time crime analysis centers; Implementation and maintenance of the Nationwide SAR Initiative, including training for front line personnel on identifying and reporting suspicious activities; Implementation of the "If You See Something, Say SomethingTM" campaign to raise public awareness of indicators of terrorism and terrorism-related crime and associated efforts to increase the sharing of information with public and private sector partners, including nonprofit organizations. Note: DHS/FEMA requires that the Office of Public Affairs be given the opportunity to review and approve any public awareness materials (e.g.,videos,posters, tri-folds, etc.) developed using HSGP grant funds for the "If You See Something, Say SomethingTM" campaign to ensure these materials are consistent with the Department's messaging and strategy for the campaign and the initiative's trademark; • Training for countering violent extremism; development, implementation, and/or expansion of programs to engage communities that may be targeted by violent extremist radicalization; and the development and implementation of projects to partner with local communities to prevent radicalization to violence,in accordance with the Strategic 54 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 141 Agreement No. 5269 Implementation Plan(SIP) to the National Strategy on Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States; and • Increase physical security, through law enforcement personnel and other protective measures by implementing preventive and protective measures at critical infrastructure site or at-risk nonprofit organizations. Critical Emergency Supplies (SHSP and UASI) In order to further DHS/FEMA' mission, critical emergency supplies, such as shelf stable products,water, and basic medical supplies are an allowable expense under SHSP and UASI. Prior to the allocation of grant funds for stockpiling purposes, each state must have DHS/FEMA's approval of a five-year viable inventory management plan which should include a distribution strategy and related sustainment costs if planned grant expenditure is over$100,000. If grant expenditures exceed the minimum threshold, the five-year inventory management plan will be developed by the recipient and monitored by FEMA GPD with the assistance of the FEMA Logistics Management Directorate (LMD). FEMA GPD will coordinate with LMD and the respective FEMA Region to provide program oversight and technical assistance as it relates to the purchase of critical emergency supplies under UASI. FEMA GPD and LMD will establish guidelines and requirements for the purchase of these supplies under UASI and monitor development and status of the state's inventory management plan. States (through their Emergency Management Office) are strongly encouraged to consult with their respective FEMA Regional Logistics Chief regarding disaster logistics-related issues. States are further encouraged to share their DHS/FEMA approved plan with local jurisdictions and Tribes. Construction and Renovation(SHSP and UASI) Project construction using SHSP and UASI funds may not exceed the greater of$1,000,000 or 15 percent (15%) of the grant award. For the purposes of the limitations on funding levels, communications towers are not considered construction. Written approval must be provided by DHS/FEMA prior to the use of any HSGP funds for construction or renovation. When applying for construction funds, including communications towers, at the time of application, recipients must submit evidence of approved zoning ordinances, architectural plans, any other locally required planning permits, and a notice of Federal interest. Additionally,recipients are required to submit a SF-424C Budget and Budget detail citing the project costs. When applying for funds to construct communication towers, recipients and sub-recipients must submit evidence that the FCC's Section 106 review process has been completed and submit all documentation resulting from that review to GPD using the guidelines in EHP Supplement prior to submitting materials for EHP review. Completed EHP review materials for construction and communication tower projects must be submitted as soon as possible to get approved by the end of the period of performance. EHP review materials should be sent to ■n�1G1rr.�infU(cr�fie»aa, rrs. HSGP Program recipients using funds for construction projects must comply with the Davis- Bacon Act(40 U.S.C. 3141 et seq.). Recipients must ensure that their contractors or subcontractors for construction projects pay workers no less than the prevailing wages for 55 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 142 Agreement No. 5269 laborers and mechanics employed on projects of a character similar to the contract work in the civil subdivision of the state in which the work is to be performed. Additional information regarding compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act, including Department of Labor(DOL)wage determinations, is available from the following website l:ttrr.'Ilw+vw.r1u1.+.ro vIc•vrrrt�lrrrrrcc�ll cr+v�Irarnrr-rl�»•a.h ttra. OPSG funds may not be used for any type of construction. Personnel(SHSP and UASI) Personnel hiring, overtime, and backfill expenses are permitted under this grant in order to perform allowable HSGP planning, training, exercise, and equipment activities. Personnel may include but are not limited to: training and exercise coordinators,program managers for activities directly associated with SHSP and UASI funded activities, intelligence analysts, and statewide interoperability coordinators (SWIG). For further details, SAAs should refer to IB # 358, hun:Ilw ww.lema.L,,o+�Indflk eA►.,cj•nn7,&,rtilerrintlhtillG,tirr vlinfo35,Y,o lf, or contact their Headquarters Program Analyst. HSGP funds may not be used to support the hiring of any personnel for the purposes of fulfilling traditional public health and safety duties or to supplant traditional public health and safety positions and responsibilities. The following are definitions as it relates to personnel costs: ■ Hiring. State and local entities may use grant funding to cover the salary of newly hired personnel who are exclusively undertaking allowable/DHSFEMA program activities as specified in this guidance. This may not include new personnel who are hired to fulfill any non-DHS/FEMA program activities under any circumstances. Hiring will always result in a net increase of Full Time Equivalent(FTE) employees. • Overtime. These expenses are limited to the additional costs which result from personnel working over and above 40 hours of weekly work time as a direct result of their performance of DHS/FEMA-approved activities specified in this guidance. Overtime associated with any other activity is not eligible. • Backfill-related Overtime. Also called "Overtime as Backfill,"these expenses are limited to overtime costs which result from personnel who are working overtime (as identified above) to perform the duties of other personnel who are temporarily assigned to DHS/FEMA-approved activities outside their core responsibilities. Neither overtime nor backfill expenses are the result of an increase of FTE employees. • Supplanting. Grant funds will be used to supplement existing funds, and will not replace (supplant) funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose. Applicants or recipients may be required to supply documentation certifying that a reduction in non- Federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of Federal funds. 56 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 143 Agreement No. 5269 Operational Packages (OPacks) (SHSP and UASI) Applicants may elect to pursue operational package(OPack) funding, such as Canine Teams, Mobile Explosive Screening Teams, and Anti-Terrorism Teams, for new capabilities as well as to sustain existing OPacks. Applicants must commit to minimum training standards to be set by the Department for all Federally-funded security positions. Applicants must also ensure that the capabilities are able to be deployable,through SMAC, outside of their community to support regional and national efforts. When requesting new OPacks-related projects, applicants must demonstrate the need for developing a new capability at the expense of sustaining existing core capability. Western Hemispheric Travel Initiative (SHSP) In addition to the expenditures outlined above, SHSP funds may be used to support the implementation activities associated with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), including the issuance of WHTI-compliant Tribal identification cards. More information on the WHTI may be found at 12006935 79776..vhlin or li![n:Iltiv�viv.t�cr�nr�lrc�rrrc.�n�flliGirrl�trrs.T f?run.11lrxl. Other Secure Identification Initiatives (SHSP) SHSP funds may also be used to support the Department's additional efforts to enhance secure identification, including driver's license and identification security enhancements. Activities that facilitate secure identification, including IT enhancements for identification management and verification systems are a priority. DHS/FEMA is currently developing and implementing a number of screening programs in which secure identification credentials figure prominently. These include the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)program which promotes tamper-resistant biometric credentials for workers who require unescorted access to secure areas of ports,vessels, outer continental shelf facilities, and all credentialed merchant mariners; and the credentialing of first responders which entails enhancing real-time electronic authentication of identity and attribute(s)(qualification, certification, authorization, and/or privilege) of emergency response/critical government personnel responding to terrorist attacks or other catastrophic events. States may continue implementing activities previously funded through the Driver's License Security Grant Program (DLSGP)that focus on securing driver's license and identification card issuance processes. Initiatives related to securing identification should: • Have the greatest impact upon reducing the issuance and use of fraudulent driver's license and identification cards; • Reduce the cost of program implementation for individuals, states, and the Federal government; ■ Driver's license identification material requirements; • Expedite state progress toward meeting minimum security standards; and • Plan and expedite state-specific activities to support Federal data and document verification requirements and standards. 57 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 144 Agreement No. 5269 Operations (OPSG) The intent of OPSG is to focus on operational aspects of enhancing coordination between Federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to increase the security of the United States Borders. • Operational Overtime. OPSG funds may be used for operational overtime costs associated with law enforcement activities, in support of border law enforcement agencies for increased border security enhancement. At the request of a recipient, the FEMA Administrator may waive the 50 percent(50%)personnel cap. Waiver decisions are at the discretion of the FEMA Administrator and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. A formal OPSG personnel waiver request should: - Be requested on official letterhead, include a written justification, and be signed by the local jurisdiction; - Include a budget and method of calculation of personnel costs both in percentage of the grant award and in total dollar amount; - Include an approved Operations Order from the USBP Sector office which supports the local jurisdiction's written justification; and - Be coordinated with the USBP Sector, SAA, and OBP. Part Time Personnel. OPSG funds may be used to pay additional current part time law enforcement personnel salaries in order to bring them to temporary full time status. • Travel, Per Diem, and Lodging. Travel and per diem include costs associated with the deployment/redeployment of personnel to border areas and for travel associated with law enforcement entities assisting other local jurisdictions in law enforcement activities. In addition, costs to support up to six month deployment of law enforcement personnel to critical Southwest Border locations to support operational activities (travel costs must be in accordance with applicable travel regulations). • Vehicle and Equipment Rentals. • Vehicle/Equipment Maintenance. • Fuel Cost and/or Mileage Reimbursement. There is no cap for reimbursement of operational activities. -Activate Reserve State, local, Tribal, and territorial law enforcement personnel. Supporting a request to the Governor to activate, deploy, or redeploy specialized National Guard Units/Package and/or elements of state law enforcement to increase or augment specialized/technical law enforcement elements operational activities. • Backjill. Costs associated with backfill for personnel supporting operational activities. • Law Enforcement Readiness. Use of OPSG funds may be used to increase operational, material, and technological readiness of state, local, Tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. Unallowable Costs (OPSG) OPSG unallowable costs include costs associated with staffing and general IT computing equipment and hardware, such as personal computers, faxes, copy machines,modems, etc. OPSG is not intended as a hiring program. Therefore, applying funds toward hiring full-time or permanent sworn public safety officers is unallowable. OPSG funding shall not be used to supplant inherent routine patrols and law enforcement operations or activities not directly related to providing enhanced coordination between local and Federal law enforcement agencies. 58 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 145 Agreement No. 5269 Finally, construction and/or renovation costs are prohibited under OPSG. Applicants should refer to IB 358 or contact their Headquarters Program Analyst at(800) 368-6498 for guidance and clarification. Due to the nature of OPSG, training and exercise expenses are not allowable costs under OPSG. Unallowable Costs (SHSP, UASI and OPSG) Per FEMA policy, the purchase of weapons and weapons accessories is not allowed with HSGP funds. Additional Planning Information FEMA's National Preparedness Directorate (NPD) offers technical assistance(TA)that is designed to provide recipients and sub-recipients with specialized expertise to improve their emergency plans and planning. TA deliveries are designed specifically to improve and enhance the continuing development of state and local emergency management across the five mission areas of the National Preparedness Goal and across all core capabilities. TA provides the opportunity to engage emergency managers, emergency planners, and appropriate decision- makers in open discussion of options to improve plans and planning in light of their jurisdiction's needs. There is no cost to approved jurisdictions for DHS/FEMA TA. TA deliveries combine current emergency management best practices with practical consideration of emerging trends, through discussion facilitated by DHS/FEMA contract specialists and with the support of FEMA Region operational specialists. While the invitation of participants is up to the requesting jurisdiction, DHS/FEMA encourages requesting jurisdictions to include the broadest practical range of its emergency managers and planners in all TA deliveries. TA deliveries should be made open to neighboring jurisdictions. As necessary, DHS/FEMA may also invite other Federal experts and practitioners to participate. Additionally, peer-to-peer representation may also be included from other jurisdictions that have recently used TA for the same planning issue. The TA catalog, showing the full range of TA available across all five mission areas and by all providers, and the TA request form can be accessed at http://www.fema.gov/national-incident- management-system/fema-technical-assistance-division. Additional Training Information Per DHS/FEMA Grant Programs Directorate Policy I-`P 207-008-064-1,Review and Approval Requirements for Training Courses Funded Through Preparedness Grants, issued on September 9,2013, states, territories, Tribal entities and urban areas are no longer required to request approval from FEMA for personnel to attend non-DHS FEMA training as long as the training is coordinated with and approved by the state, territory, Tribal or Urban Area Training Point of Contact(TPOC) and falls within the FEMA mission scope and the jurisdiction's Emergency Operations Plan(EOP). The only exception to this policy is for Countering Violent Extremism courses. DHS/FEMA will conduct periodic reviews of all state, territory, and Urban Area training funded by DHS/FEMA. These reviews may include requests for all course materials and physical observation of, or participation in, the funded training. If these reviews determine that courses 59 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 146 Agreement No. 5269 are outside the scope of this guidance, recipients will be asked to repay grant funds expended in support of those efforts. For further infonnation on developing courses using the instructional design methodology and tools that can facilitate the process, SAAs and TPOCs are encouraged to review the NTED Resnander` mint!►, 1Jtrvelomnew C:ewer WT DC) website. DHS/FEMA Provided Training. These trainings include programs or courses developed for and delivered by institutions and organizations funded by DHS/FEMA.

These trainings includes courses that are either state sponsored or Federal sponsored(non-DHS/FEMA), coordinated and approved by the SAA or their designated TPOC, and fall within the DHS/FEMA mission scope to prepare state, local, Tribal, and territorial personnel to prevent,protect against, mitigate,respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism or catastrophic events. • State Sponsored Courses. These courses are developed for and/or delivered by institutions or organizations other than Federal entities or DHS/FEMA and are sponsored by the SAA or their designated TPOC. ■ Joint Training and Exercises with the Public and Private Sectors. These courses are sponsored and coordinated by private sector entities to enhance public-private partnerships for training personnel to prevent,protect against,mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism or catastrophic events. Overtime pay for first responders and emergency managers who participate in public-private training and exercises is allowable. In addition, states, territories,Tribes, and Urban Areas are encouraged to incorporate the private sector in government-sponsored training and exercises. Additional information on both DHS/FEMA provided training and other Federal and state training can be found at h11n://titijw mfrxvol'. Training Information Reporting System ("Web-Forms"). Web-Forms are an electronic form/data management system built to assist the SAA and its designated state, territory and Tribal Training Point of Contact(TPOC). Reporting training activities through Web-Forms is not required under FY 2015 HSGP; however, the system remains available and can be accessed through the DHS/FEMA Toolkit located at han.-Iliviviv. eovtadmill in order to support recipients in their own tracking of training. 60 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 147 Agreement No. 5269 Additional Exercise Information Recipients that decide to use HSGP funds to conduct an exercise(s) are encouraged to complete a progressive exercise series. Exercises conducted by states and Urban Areas may be used to fulfill similar exercise requirements required by other grant programs. Recipients are encouraged to invite representatives/planners involved with other Federally-mandated or private exercise activities. States and Urban Areas are encouraged to share, at a minimum,the multi- year training and exercise schedule with those departments, agencies, and organizations included in the plan. • Exercise Scenarios. The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must be based on the state/Urban Area's THIRA and SPR. The scenarios used in HSGP-funded exercises must focus on validating capabilities, must be large enough in scope and size to exercise multiple activities and warrant involvement from multiple jurisdictions and disciplines and non-governmental organizations, and take into account the needs and requirements for individuals with disabilities. Exercise scenarios should align with priorities and capabilities identified in the Multi-year TEP. • Special Event Planning. If a state or Urban Area will be hosting a special event(e.g., Super Bowl, G-8 Summit), the special event planning should be considered as a training or exercise activity for the purpose of the Multi-year TEP. The state or Urban Area should plan to use SHSP or UASI funding to finance training and exercise activities in preparation for those events. States and Urban Areas should also consider exercises at major venues (e.g., arenas, convention centers) that focus on evacuations, communications, and command and control. • Regional Exercises. States should also anticipate participating in at least one Regional Exercise annually. States must include all confirmed or planned special events in the Multi-year TEP. • Role of Non-Governmental Entities in Exercises. Non-governmental participation in all levels of exercises is strongly encouraged. Leaders from non-governmental entities should be included in the planning, design, and evaluation of an exercise. State, local, Tribal, and territorial jurisdictions are encouraged to develop exercises that test the integration and use of non-governmental resources provided by non-governmental entities, defined as the private sector and private non-profit, faith-based, community, participation in exercises should be coordinated with the local Citizen Corps Council(s) or their equivalent and other partner agencies. Unauthorized Exercise Costs Unauthorized exercise-related costs include: • Reimbursement for the maintenance and/or wear and tear costs of general use vehicles (e.g., construction vehicles),medical supplies, and emergency response apparatus(e.g., fire trucks, ambulances). • Equipment that is purchased for permanent installation and/or use,beyond the scope of the conclusion of the exercise (e.g., electronic messaging signs). 61 Appendix C—FY2015 HSGP Funding Guidelines 148 W� LOS ANGELES COUNTY Agreement fE131T G DEPARTMENT OF AUDITOR-CONTROLLER/SHARED SERVICES DIVISION HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT REIMBURSEMENT FORM o.

(Fiscal Impact $0 - {Appropriations of$11,618,809 from FY 2016-17 requested to be continued into FY 2017-18)) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Approve continuing appropriations from FY 2016-2017 to FY 2017-2018, thereby amending the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Adopted Budget in the Funds and by the amounts contained in Attachment 1 and 2. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1. Schedule of Continuing Appropriations - Fiscal Year 2016-2017 to Fiscal Year 2017-2018. 2. Schedule of Purchase Orders and Budget Carryovers - Fiscal Year 2016-2017 to Fiscal Year 2017-2018. FISCAL IMPACT: Amount Budgeted: $11,618,809 Additional Appropriation: Carryover of$11,618,809 from FY 2016-17 to FY 2017-18 Account Number(s): Various STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal: 5(b) Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability: El Segundo approaches its work in a financially disciplined and responsible way Objective: 2 The City will maintain a stable, efficient, and transparent financial environment ORIGINATED BY: Joseph Lillio, Director of Finance v-OL.- APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manage, BACKGROUND: Continuine Annronriations At the end of the fiscal year, staff prepares a summary of budgeted appropriations that are required be carried over to the next fiscal year in order to complete multi-year CIP projects, professional service agreements (PSA) that continue over fiscal years, and projects that were anticipated to be completed by September 30 but were not and the funds associated with those projects that should carry-over into the new budget year in order to complete the project. The 158 attached schedule of FY 2016-2017 Continuing Appropriations (Attachment 1) identifies projects/purchases that were included in the FY 2016-2017 budget, but were not completed by September 30, 2017. The attached document provides detail of each request and its justification. As a result, staff is requesting to carryover the appropriation to FY 2017-2018. The majority of continuing appropriations relate to ongoing capital improvement projects. The following table(see attachment#1 for details) is a summary of the continuing appropriations requests by fund. Table 1: Fund Name Fund Number Total Request General Fund 001 $ 360,800 Gas Tax 106 449,735 AQMD (Air Quality) 115 21,000 TDA Article 3 — 118 38,500 Bikeway Funds Federal Grant 124 11,580 State Grants 125 30,767 CIP Fund 301 1,294,921 Water 501 1,547,562 Wastewater 502 1,650,000 Total $5,404,865 There were also various goods and services encumbered but not received or paid for by the end of the fiscal year. These items represent previously approved purchase orders and therefore should be carried over to FY 2017-2018. The carryover of these encumbrances also requires the appropriation be carried over, as sufficient appropriations would not exist in the current year budget to fund both the continued projects and the new projects approved in the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 adopted budget. The Schedule of Purchase Orders and Budget Carryovers (Attachment 2) lists the account number, vendor, and a brief description for each item. Table 2 (see attachment #2 for details) is a summary of the schedule of purchase orders and budget carryovers - Fiscal Year 2016-2017 to Fiscal Year 2017-2018. Table 2: Fund Name Fund Total Request Number General Fund 001 $ 692,809 Asset Forfeiture 109 652 Federal Grant 124 34,000 CUPA 126 64,335 CIP Fund 301 819,814 Water 501 824,728 Wastewater 502 3,502,790 159 Equipment Replacement Fund 601 188,276 Aquatics Trust Account 708 86,540 Total $6,213,944 The continuing appropriations from incomplete projects/purchases and encumbrances at the end of the fiscal year do not represent an additional appropriation of funds, but a carryover of unexpended funds from the prior fiscal year. Staff presented budgeted appropriations for FY 2016 - 2017, including the amounts requested as continuing appropriations on Attachment 1 and 2, in the analysis performed as part of the FY 2017-2018 Strategic Planning and Budget process. The estimated beginning fund balances presented in the FY 2017-2018 budget were already reduced by the amount of the proposed continuing appropriations. Approval of these items will have minimal impact on estimated ending fund balances at September 30, 2017. There will be a slight increase to the estimated General Fund balance due to a budgetary savings.

B. When the supplies or services are available from only one vendor as supported by appropriate documentation. C. When the purchasing officer identifies a cooperative competitive bidding procedure, being prepared by and processed through another local, state, or federal governmental agency. Under such circumstances, the purchasing officer may join into an existing written purchase contract obtained within the last five (5) years through a competitive bidding process prepared by and awarded by another local, state or federal governmental agency. City council consent is required for such purchases where the estimated value of the supplies is $50,000.00 or more for a single item or bulk purchase of a single item. D.

A declaration of emergency as set forth in this code is conclusive evidence of such an event. In such an event, the city manager or acting city manager may bind the city, with or without a written contract, for the acquisition of equipment, materials, supplies, labor, services or other items.

If this method is used, the following requirements apply: A. Requests for proposals (RFP) must be publicized; B.

Unless otherwise provided in this code, a written contract is required to purchase supplies or procure services on the city's behalf, regardless of the source of the funds.

This ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to existing regulations.

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 5: 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 6: Enforceability. Repeal of any provision of the EI 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 7: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of EI Segundo's book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal: IA El Segundo provides unparalleled service to internal and external customers Objective: 1 City Operations are unified and integrated; a) Streamline the purchasing policy for business proce ss,improvements rix PREPARED BY: City Attorney's offic8?4t'�,N REVIEWED BY: Finance Departmentj`City Clerk's officgk APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager d L -rolc 6kC- INTRODUCTION: The City's purchasing policies were last revised in 2008. As part of the City Council's direction to staff to evaluate internal processes, staff have collectively reviewed the City's purchasing policies and procedures for execution of contracts and are proposing certain changes be made, which will increase staff's authority to enter into contracts and also clarify language within the Code. If the City Council introduces the proposed ordinance, the ordinance will be scheduled for second reading at a future meeting; if adopted by the City Council at the future meeting, the ordinance would take effect 30 days later. 1 17 186 DISCUSSION: Current Municipal Code Currently, the City's Municipal Code has the following thresholds for general services, supplies, and equipment purchases: Current Process: Limits Action Authority to Award Up to $2,500 No bidding required Department Director Over$2,500 up to $10,000 No bidding required Department Director Over $10,000 up to $25,000 Informal Bid Process City Manager Greater than $25,000 Formal Bid Process City Council With regard to the professional services, the City Manager has signature authority for , contracts up to $25,000 per year. Any contracts for which the value exceeds $25,000 per fiscal year must be formally approved by the City Council. After carefully considering the need for both fiscal controls and internal efficiency, and in light of inflation, staff is proposing to both increase the City Manager's signature authority to$50,000,increasing the Department Director's signature authority to $25,000 and to also allow Department Managers to sign contracts valued at no more than $5,000 per vendor, per fiscal year. This proposed change should allow contracts to be processed more quickly, since less contracts will require formal City Council approval and Department managers will be authorized to sign certain, relatively low value contracts. The California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) did a survey in 2017 and the average authority limit for the City Manager of seventy California Cities was $44,000. Also,most Cities permitted Department Directors a signature authority limit. For example, the following chart is a sampling of the City Manager's signature authority for a few surrounding cities: City City Manager's signature authority for contracts City of Hawthorne $15,000 City of Palos Verdes Estates $15,000 City of Torrance $40,000 City of Manhattan Beach $50,000 City of Redondo Beach $50,000 It is important to note the budget for all fiscal activity related to the proposed increase in City Staff's signature authority for contracts has been previously approved by City Council during the annual budget adoption process or during the process to approve continuing appropriations. 2 187 As depicted in the proposed ordinance, if adopted, the proposed thresholds are as follows: Proposed Process Amount of Action Authority to Award purchasel $5,000 or less Mone required. May be Department Director or Department purchased on open Manager pursuant to Section 1-7-5 market/direct negotiated contract $5,001 to $10,000 None required. May be Department Director or Department purchased on open Manager pursuant to Section 1-7-5 market/direct negotiated contract $10,001 to $25,000 informal bidding 'City Manager or Department Director pursuant to Section 1-7-7 $25,001 to $50,000 informal bidding City Manager pursuant to Section 1-7-7 ,$50,001 and above ]Formal bidding 'City Council pursuant to Section 1-7-8 1 For purchases of supplies, the dollar amounts listed above apply to the purchase of a single item or bulk purchase of an item. For the procurement of services,the dollar amounts listed above apply to the amount paid per contract,per fiscal year. In addition to revising the thresholds and authority to execute contract, the ordinance cleans-up language throughout the two chapters of the Code. ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE INPUT: Earlier this year, the Environmental Committee contacted staff regarding a proposed ordinance which would require the City to use recycled products, and to choose products with greater recycled content if the price between products is not substantial (i.e., not greater than 10%). Staff have incorporated the Environmental Committee's recommendation into the proposed ordinance. The Environmental Committee also presented staff with a proposed policy that will implement the ordinance; staff will work with the Committee on the proposed policy and will present that to the City Council for its consideration and possible adoption at a future meeting. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed project,adoption and implementation of an ordinance pertaining to the City's purchasing procedures and execution of contracts, is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed ordinance will have a significant 3 188 impact on the environment. Therefore,adoption and implementation of this ordinance does not constitute a "project" under CEQA and is exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). CONCLUSION: Staff recommends the City Council introduce the proposed ordinance and schedule a second reading at a future City Council meeting. 4 189 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 19, 2017 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Vision Technology to rebuild and improve ElSegundoBusiness.com and develop a new hospitality and tourism website.

FISCAL IMPACT: Amount Budgeted FY 17-18: $100,000 Account Numbers: 001-400-2401-6201 (ED Advertising and Publishing) ORIGINATED BY: Barbara Voss, Economic DeveIv ment Manager APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: On April 12, 2016, voters approved a proposition, Measure B, which increased the City's Transient Occupancy Tax("TOT")from 8%to 12%. As part of the discussions regarding the Measure B,both the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) and the Chamber of Commerce Hotel Committee requested that a portion of the increased TOT revenue be used to form a hospitality and tourism marketing fund to increase hotel occupancy and stimulate related visitor-serving businesses. In August and September of 2017,Phelps conducted a comprehensive hospitality and tourism research initiative and presented their findings to EDAC and City Council on October 25th. Phelps continues to work on a hospitality and tourism communications plan,the results of which will be incorporated into the overall content and"look and feel" of the hospitality and tourism website. 13 190 During the FY 17-18 budget discussions,City Council directed staff to allocate$100,000 to rebuild and improve E1SegundoBusiness.com and develop a new hospitality and tourism website. Staff reviewed proposals from five different firms and recommended three firms to the EDAC Chair and the EDAC Marketing Committee for interviews. Staff and the EDAC Chair interviewed Vision Technology three times and selected them as the preferred vendor. Vision Technology has created more than 700 websites for local government agencies over the last 20 years. Throughout the development and after launch,Vision Technology offers access to training,resources and educational opportunities to ensure optimal function of the sites. The five-year package includes "VisionLive" which provides a subscription to Vision Technology's proprietary Content Management System, site administration,24/7 security, daily monitoring and backup, a variety of training and support services, a dedicated account manager, and site analytics.

The discount rate, or long-term rate of return, was adjusted from 7.5% to 7.0%. This adjustment will be phased in over a three year period. The result of this Board action is an increase of public agency employee contribution costs beginning in Fiscal Year(FY) 2018-19. Lowering the discount rate means the City's plan will see an increase in both the normal cost (the cost of pension benefits accruing in one year for active members) and the unfunded accrued liabilities (UAL) (the cost of pension benefits for retirees and active employees through the CalPERS actuarial valuation date). These increases to the normal cost and accrued liabilities will result in higher required employer contributions beginning in FY 2018-19. The below graph (graph 1) depicts the total annual employer contributions by the City to the CalPERS pension plan before the discount rate change and after implementation of the rate change. This is a drastic change from the FY 2016-17 pension payments of $10.6 million compared to the adjusted amount in six years of$20.3 million by FY 2022-23. Graph 1: Total annual CalPERS pension contributions by the City $22,500,000 $20,000,000 $17,500,000 $15,000,000 $12,500,000 $10,000,000 $7,500,000 $5,000,000 $2,500,000 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 7.50% $10,596,497 $11,269,657 $12,422,183 $13,642,946 $14,379,473 $15,227,620 $15,929,139 7.00% $10,596,497 $11,269,657 $12,979,000 $14,834,000 $17,083,000 $18,717,000 $20,257,000 7%(w/refinance) $10,596,497 $11,331,462 $13,162,067 $14,676,804 $16,749,916 $18,248,822 $19,774,779 2 205 Key factors contributing to the rising pension costs • CalPERS Board approving to lowering the CalPERS Discount Rate (Assumed Rate of Return) on Investment Pool Assets from 7.5%to 7.0% Valuation Date FY Required Discount Rate Implementation June 30, 2015 2017-18 7.50% June 30, 2016 2018-19 7.375% June 30, 2017 2019-20 7.25% June 30, 2018 2020-21 7.00% • Enhanced Benefits Based upon Unrealistic Expectations • Recession and Poor CalPERS Investment Returns • Increased cash outflows in the CalPERS investment portfolio ($20.5 billion annually) • Revising Mortality Tables and other Actuarial Assumptions that have negative impacts on member agencies' rates • Shrinking Ratio of Active vs. Retired Employees • State Legislatures actions resulting in policy mandates on CalPERS to focus on "social investment" practices that align with the Legislatures ideologies; resulting in divestment from many market sectors that have performed well • CalPERS amortization methodology on losses and assumption changes that results in negative amortization The recommended staff actions focus on the last bullet point; amortization methodology. CalPERS automatically assigns member agencies a 30-year amortization schedule to pay down member agency unfunded liabilities. CalPERS uses a "ramp-up" methodology in the first 5- years. This ramp-up method applies 115 of what the normal annual payment should be in year 30 and then adds an additional 115 each year until year 5. For example, if in a normal straight line 30-year amortization schedule a member agency should pay $1,000,000 in year one, the current ramp-up methodology applied by CalPERS requires only 115 of that be paid by the member, or $200,000. Then in years two through four the payments will be $400,000, $600,000 & $800,000 respectively. In year five, the member agency will be at the $1,000,000 payment. The result of this method applied by CalPERS results in short-term budgetary savings to member agencies. However, CalPERS applies an interest rate equal to the discount rate used in their assumption for the long term rate of return. This is currently 7.5% annually. Therefore, in years one through four the ramp-up method used by CalPERS results in negative amortization accruing to the member agencies unfunded liabilities. As a result of this negative amortization, it is approximately in year twenty-two that the negative amortization is no longer being accrued and member agencies' payments are finally being applied towards the principal amount of the unfunded liability. The recommendation to refinance the Miscellaneous Plan to a twenty-two year amortization, the Public Safety Police 2°a tier to a ten-year amortization and the Public Safety Police PEPRA to a ten-year amortization eliminates the negative amortization that is currently being incurred. 3 206 There are three additional City pension plans: Fire PEPRA, Fire Classic and Police Classic. The Fire PEPRA does not have an unfunded liability and therefore does not require any course of action. Staff will continue to monitor this Plan for any material changes in the future. The Fire Classic Plan has an unfunded liability of $48.3 million. Staff will recommending to address paying down some of this liability during the FY 2017-18 mid-year discussion and analyzing a refinance of the liabilities after the annual actuarial report is issued by CaIPERS in July 2018. Part of the strategy to wait on the refinancing is predicated on the investment gain Ca1PERS experienced at June 30, 2017. This total investment gain was 11.2% which is 3.7% above their target discount rate of 7.5% as of June 30, 2017. This investment gain of 3.7% will be reflected on the July 2018 actuarial report and will have the effect of reducing pension liabilities. A refinancing of an amortization from fifteen years to twenty years will be analyzed. The Police Classic 1St Tier Plan has an unfunded liability of $53.4 million. Staff will recommending to address paying down some of this liability during the FY 2017-18 mid-year discussion. The same approach applied to Fire Classic will be taken with Police Classic 1" Tier. In addition, a potential pension obligation bond (POB) will be analyzed and presented to City Council in the later part of FY 2017-18 or early FY 2018-19. The pending Federal Tax Reform may impact the bond financing mechanisms utilized by municipalities. This will be analyzed if and when any tax reform is passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. Actions to-date City Council has taken to address the City's pension liability with CaIPERS City Council is commended on taking a proactive approach to address the City's rising pension costs. Actively engaging the various options to reduce the City's overall pension liabilities will result in saving millions of dollars going from City reserves towards Ca1PERS pension costs. Here are some of the key strategic actions City Council has taken to help reduce pension liabilities and reduce annual costs: 1. June 20, 2017, City Council approved prepayment towards the City's annual UAL payment obligation to Ca1PERS. This saved the City $258,464. Table 1 —Monthly payment versus discounted prepaid annual payment Ca1PERS FY 2017-18 Annual Prepayment of Difference Plan Unfunded Liability Annual Unfunded Contribution (if paid in Liability monthly installments) Contribution Public Safety $5,517,777 $5,321,817 -$195,960 Miscellaneous $1,759,978 $1,697,474 -$62,504 Total $7,277,755 $7,019,291 -$258,464 At the time of the analysis for the prepayment option, the City's overall internal investment portfolio was earning an annualized return of 1.09% (as of April 2017). The City's portfolio return of 1.09% was significantly lower than the return CaIPERS applied (3.55%) towards the City's prepayment; resulting in a more effective use of City funds. Staff will continue to evaluate the annual UAL prepayment option to maximize the use of City funds. 4 207 2. With the adopted FY 2017-18 budget, City Council approved an advance payment towards the City's UAL in the amount of$600,000. In the month of October 2017, staff made a payment in the amount of $599,528 towards the City's unfunded pension liabilities. This action resulted in: * A reduction in the overall pension liabilities by $599,528; ■ Saved the City $970,000 in interest payments to CalPERS; and • A budgetary reduction to the annual UAL payment in FY 2018-19 in the amount of$41,000, with ongoing annual reductions to the UAL payment. 3. On November 7, 2017, City Council approved a resolution authorizing participation in the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) section 115 Pension Trust Program. This action allowed the City to create a separate trust to "pre-fund" its CalPERS unfunded liability. This will provide the City with an alternative to sending funds to CalPERS that will allow for greater local control over assets, investment by a professional fund management team selected and monitored by the City, with future excess contributions transferred to CalPERS at the City's discretion. During the mid-year budget analysis and presentation, staff will evaluate a recommendation to fund the 115 pension trust with any available funds that may be identified. Staff recommendation Authorize City Manager to execute a fresh start "refinance" of the Miscellaneous Plan unfunded liabilities (UAL) with CalPERS from a 30-year amortization period to a 22-year amortization period, refinance the Public Safety Police 2nd tier Plan with CalPERS from a 30-year amortization period to a 10-year amortization period, and refinance the Public Safety Police PEPRA Plan unfunded liabilities (UAL) with CalPERS from a 30-year amortization period to a 10-year amortization period resulting in a total long term interest savings of$1,861,860 through FY 2046-47. If City Council approves the refinancing as proposed by staff, the combined savings with the advance payment made in October 2017, will result in a total savings of$2.8 million in interest payments to CalPERS. 5 208 M r1 00 N Ln M 00 00 t.0 C14 N Qal O Ol ON r-i al I., 00 00 0 C4 NO r\ M mO -Cd- M 0 00 000 00 0 O N O 00 r-I N 00 lD r, N C1 Ql M N N' M .-I r-I lf� -C4 -(A 4j).

Total General Fund expenditures (unaudited) were $67,696,167, compared to the adopted budget of$69,532,096, resulting in a savings of$1,835,929.

T.O.T. — The addition of two hotels in the City, an increase to the overall average nightly rates, the favorable economy for summer travel and the impact of Measure B contributed to an additional $1.96 million over the projected budget. - Charges for Services — Various zoning and planning fees were up due to several one-time development projects coming in earlier than expected. Cogeneration Electric — Higher than anticipated production in power plant operations allowed for almost 10% additional revenue than originally forecasted.

The fund balance is the amount of financial resources immediately available for use. The City also has a Council policy to maintain an 18% general fund financial reserve for the current year. The additional fund balance that is not assigned towards the required 18% reserve is referred to as "unassigned" fund balance. These unassigned funds can be used at the discretion of City Council. Staff will continue to monitor revenues and expenditures and reevaluate the funds in the unassigned fund balance during mid-year review. Staff will bring a discussion to Council, based on the City's 3 214 newly adopted strategic plan, to set priorities on the potential uses of these funds.

This is reflected in the FY 2016-17 unaudited year-end results of$67,696,167 compared to the budget of$69,532,096, respectively. Once the FY 2016-17 financial audit is complete, the audited results will be presented to City Council in March 2018. The mid-year review of the current budget will take place in April 2018. During the mid-year review, staff will present to Council strategic uses for the unassigned General Fund reserves that fall in line with the City's adopted Strategic Plan. 4 215 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 19, 2017 AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding 1) Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (Labor Agreement) between the City of El Segundo and the California Teamsters Public, Professional and Medical Employees Union, Local 911, Supervisory and Professional Employees' Association (SPEA) bargaining unit 2) Adoption of a Resolution approving the Memorandum of Understanding, 3) adoption of a Resolution for CalPERS Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC) for the Supervisory and Professional Employees' Association (SPEA) bargaining unit to increase the employee PERS Member Share; and 4) adoption of a Resolution updating the employer's contribution under the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act for the Supervisory and Professional Employees' Association (SPEA) bargaining unit.

Item no. 5 on the second page indicates that the Health Contribution increased from $1140.39 to $1200.00. However the actual increase should read - increased from $128.00,the current CalPERS Emplover's Minimum Contribution, to $1200.00 for active emplovees and $1,140.39 to $1200.00 for retirees. The $1,140.39 refers to the prior Healthcare Reimbursement Accounts which were set up for those employees and retirees eligible under the 2016 ADD pay side letter. All other active employees thereafter have only been eligible for the $128.00 minimum contribution per the prior MOU and the amount that should have been reflected. RESOLUTION NO.

Government Code 20022(a)(1) provides that compensation for purposes of computing PERS retirement benefits includes remuneration paid in cash because of holidays, sick leave and vacation, as well as other remuneration furnished in payment for services. This MOU section memorializes that members of this unit have been contractually eligible to receive City paid cash equivalencies for vacation, sick leave and floating holidays accrued during the employee's final year of employment. Said members have also been eligible to receive a cash distribution equal to the monthly differential between$500.00 and the monthly amount designated by each member for funding health insurance and similar programs (herein referred to as an insurance differential.) Pursuant to City Council action in December 1991, the former management/confidential unit was modified, with members of this Supervisory Unit being removed from the then existing management/confidential unit.The classifications nowcontainedwithinthisSupervisory Unitbeing removed from the then existing management/confidential unit. The classifications now contained within this Supervisory Unit were included within the prior management/confidential unit and City contractual agreements prior to December 1, 1992 to provide the management/confidential unit members with paymentfor vacation, sick leave and floating holidays accrued during the final year of employment, as well as the above insurance differential, fully insured to the benefit of those classifications nowwithin the Supervisory Unit.

As members of the prior management/confidential unit, those classifications within the Supervisory Unit were therefore subject to earlier Council determination providing the described paid remuneration for vacation, sick leave and floating holidays accrued during the final year of employment, as well as the above insurance differential, and the June 2, 1992 Memorandum of Understanding contractually signifies that said benefits are to remain in full force and effect unless and until altered pursuant to the meet and confer process. This "Comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding" thereby codifies pre-December 1992 contractual provision of the stated compensation benefits to unit members. SECTION 6.

BH/ss -4Wng.pW APPENDIX C City of El Segundo Substance Abuse Policy July 1, 2008 PURPOSE It is the Policy of the City of EI Segundo (hereinafter "City") to maintain a safe, healthful and productive work environment for all employees. The City is committed to maintaining a workplace free from the influence of alcohol and drugs. The City recognizes that drugs and alcohol hinder an employee's ability to perform his or her duties safely and effectively, and desires to protect its employees and the public from such effects. Employees who abuse alcohol and drugs, on or off duty, tend to be less productive; less reliable, and prone to greater absenteeism. To these ends, the City will not tolerate any drug or alcohol use which could affect an employee's ability to safely and effectively perform the functions of his or her particular job, or imperil the health and wellbeing of co-workers or the people of the City. (The term "employee" as used herein shall be considered synonymous with the term "volunteer".) Employees who think they may have an alcohol or drug usage problem are urged to voluntarily seek confidential assistance from the Employee Assistance Program. While the City will be supportive of those who seek help voluntarily or via `optional referral" (page 4), the City will be equally firm in identifying and disciplining those whose performance is affected by substance abuse and do not seek help. Supervisors and Management employees will be trained to recognize signs and symptoms of drug abusers and to become involved in this review process. Alcohol or drug abuse will not be tolerated, and disciplinary action, up to and including termination, will be used as necessary to achieve the goal of a drug-free workplace. This Policy provides guidelines for the detection and deterrence of alcohol and drug abuse. It also outlines the responsibilities of the City Supervisors, Management and employees. In recognition of the public service responsibilities entrusted to ALL employees of the City, with knowledge that drugs and alcohol do hinder a person's abilities to perform job duties safely and effectively, the following Policy against drug and alcohol abuse is hereby adopted by the City of EI Segundo. APPLICATION This Policy, and/or certain provisions thereof, applies to all employees and certain applicants of the City. This Policy applies to alcohol and to all substances, drugs or medications, legal or illegal, which could impair an employee's ability to effectively and safely perform the functions of the job. The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, effective March 18, 1989, requires most Federal contractors and all grant recipients (including the City of EI Segundo) to implement a comprehensive Substance Abuse Policy. This Policy will comply with the requirements of the Act. OBJECTIVE It is the objective of this Policy to prevent the effects of substance abuse in the workplace. It is the policy of the City that employees shall not be under the influence as evidenced by the presence of a drug's metabolite in the employee's system or in possession of alcohol or drugs; nor possess, use, sell or provide alcohol or drugs while on City property, at work locations, while on duty or while specifically designated by a supervisor as being on call; nor have their ability to work impaired as a result of the use of alcohol or drugs. An employee shall be deemed to be "using" such substances if prohibited substance levels are in the employee's blood, breath, saliva or urine when at the workplace, or when otherwise purporting to act in the course and scope of employment or while designated as being on call. Use of medically prescribed medications and drugs is not necessarily a violation of this Policy, unless there is a failure by the employee to notify his/her Supervisor or Manager, before beginning work, when taking medications or drugs the employee knows or reasonably should know could interfere with the safe and effective performance of duties or operation of City equipment. Such malfeasance can result in discipline, up to and including termination. In the event there is a question regarding an employee's ability to safely and effectively perform assigned duties while using such medications or drugs, clearance from a qualified physician may be required. Upon a documented determination of reasonable suspicion that an employee is violating this Policy or the Drugfree Workplace Statement, and consistent with applicable State and Federal law as it from time to time exits; the City reserves the right to search, without employee consent, all areas and property which the City owns or - 2 - leases. Otherwise, the City may notify the appropriate law enforcement agency that an employee may have illegal drugs in his or her possession or in an area not owned or leased by the City. Refusal to submit immediately to an alcohol and/or drug test when directed by City Management or law enforcement personnel may constitute insubordination and may be grounds for discipline, up to and including termination. Employees reasonably believed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs shall be prevented from engaging in further work and shall be detained for a reasonable time until he or she can be safely transported from the worksite. CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT Compliance with the City of EI Segundo Substance Abuse Policy is a condition of employment for all persons covered by this policy. Any violation of this Policy will be grounds for discipline, up to and including termination. DEFINITIONS Whenever the terms below are used in this Policy, they shall be defined as follows: All Emplovees: "All Employees" for the purposes of this Policy, refers to all full- time and part-time employees, volunteers, police cadets, police explorers or police reserves.

Controlled Substance: Any drugs that are classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) into the five schedules or classes on the basis of their potential for abuse, accepted use, and accepted safety under medical supervision. A drug in any of these schedules identifies that it is "controlled" and determines the nature of the supervisory control that must be exercised. Drug: The term "drug" shall refer to any substance, including alcohol, which, in the opinion of a competent medical professional, causes or may cause significant impairment of job performance, or which causes or may cause behavior that is a threat - 3 - to the safety of the affected employee or others on the job, whether or not controlled by law or prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner. Emplovee Assistance Program (EAP): The City's EAP is a program which provides counseling and assistance to City employees and their family members. Medical Review Officer ("MRO"): The City will designate a physician knowledgeable in the medical use of drugs as defined herein, prescription drugs and the pharmacology and toxicology of illegal drugs to act as the MRO. The primary responsibility of the MRO is to review and interpret positive test results obtained through the City's drug testing program, and, in so doing, to discuss the results with the employee and to determine whether alternate medical explanations could account for a positive test result. Optional Referral: "Optional referral" is a process whereby in lieu of and/or in conjunction with discipline, any employee of the City may be offered referral by his or her Supervisor or Manager to an Employee Assistance Program ("EAP"). Positive Alcohol Test: Any urine, blood or breath test that shows the presence of alcohol as specified in this Policy, without explanation sufficient pursuant to this Policy, to render said test excusable. Positive Drua Test: Any saliva, hair, urine, or blood that is sent to a lab which reports the presence of controlled substances, as specified in this Policy, without explanation sufficient pursuant to this Policy, to render said test excusable. Reasonable Suspicion: "Reasonable suspicion" or"reasonable cause"is a belief based upon facts gathered from the totality of the circumstances that would cause a reasonable supervisor to suspect impaired performance or reduced job safety by an employee on the job. Reasonable suspicion is not to be based upon unconfirmed rumors, but shall be based upon individual observation by Supervisors or Managers trained by the City to recognize the signs and symptoms of substance abuse. The Supervisor or Manager is required to take into account other possible explanations for observed behavior, such as illness, lack of sleep, fatigue, and reactions to noxious fumes or smoke. The factors supporting the reasonable suspicion shall be documented and recorded in a manner provided and approved by City Management. See attached Reasonable Suspicion Testing Checklist. A non-inclusive description of behavior that may constitute evidence of reasonable suspicion is as follows: Slurred speech; -4 - Physical altercation: Verbal altercation; Possession of alcohol or drugs; Information obtained from a reliable person with personal knowledge as to an employee's drug or alcohol use or possession; Disorientation or job impairment (inability to perform employee's job in a routine manner); Odor of alcohol on breath; Unsteady gait or balance; Glassy eyes; Drowsiness; Euphoria; Mood swings Inattentiveness; Excitement or confusion; Irritability; Aggressiveness. Rehabilitation Proqram: A "rehabilitation program" is a program, beyond that provided by the EAP, which is designed to assist an employee to become alcohol or drug free. The City can condition such an employee's continuing City employment upon an agreement that the employee shall be drug and alcohol free during the entire period of employment. The cost of any rehabilitation program is borne by the employee, in conjunction with benefits afforded by any provider of available health and welfare benefits of which the employee is a subscriber. Safetv Sensitive Emplovee: A "safety sensitive employee" is an employee occupying, or applying for, any position in which the employee's job involves special and obvious physical and ethical demands.

Substance Abuse: "Substance abuse" shall include the use, by ingestion, inhalation, injection, or by any other means, drugs as defined herein, alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription drugs, or any other substance which, in the opinion of a competent medical professional, impairs an employee's ability to perform safely and effectively the functions of his or her position, which increases the potential for accidents, absenteeism, substandard performance, poor employee morale, or which could damage the City's reputation. UNDER THE INFLUENCE "Under the influence"for the purposes of this policy, refers to the presence of the metabolite of the controlled substance in the urine product at levels at or above those described in this Policy. GENERAL PROVISIONS (EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES) Since it is the City's Policy to have a workplace free of the effects of drugs and alcohol, the following are prohibited when reporting to work, on breaks, during meal periods, when specifically designated as being on call, or when on City property: A. For an employee to be impaired or be under the influence of any drug or drugs (including alcohol), while at the worksite or at any other time or place where the employee is purporting to act in the course and scope of his/her employment, whether inhaled, ingested, injected, or otherwise used by the employee on or off duty; B. For an employee to inhale, ingest, inject or otherwise use any alcohol or drugs as defined herein. An employee shall be deemed to be "using" such substances if prohibited substance levels are in the - 6 - employee's system when at the workplace, or when otherwise purporting to act in the course and scope of employment, or while designated as being on call; C. For an employee to sell, give, or provide any drugs (including alcohol) or drug paraphernalia to any person, including any other employee, either directly or indirectly through a third party; D. For an employee while at the workplace or otherwise purporting to act in the course and scope of employment, to manufacture, transfer, possess, or purchase any drug or drugs (including alcohol); E. For an employee to refuse to submit immediately to an alcohol and drug test when requested by a Manager or Supervisor responsible for enforcement of this Policy; F. For an employee, before beginning work, to fail to notify his/her Supervisor or Manager when taking any over-the-counter medications or prescribed drugs which the employee knows or reasonably should know, may alter the employee's physical or mental ability, or the employees knows or reasonably should know may interfere with the safe and effective performance of the employee's duties; G. For an employee to fail to provide within 24 hours of request bona fide verification of a current valid prescription for any potentially impairing drug or medication identified when a drug test is positive. The prescription must be in the employee's name and be within the time limits designated by the prescribing physician; and H. For a "safety sensitive" employee, as defined herein, to fail to notify the City of any arrest or conviction pursuant to a criminal drug statute (including alcohol) within five days of the arrest or conviction. SUPERVISORY TRAINING AND POLICY ENFORCEMENT Supervisors and Management employees will be actively involved in the enforcement of this Policy and in the detection of substance abusers. To that end, they will be trained to recognize substance abuse and to comply with the mandates of this Policy. Supervisors and Management employees shall notify all affected employees of this Policy, and shall be held responsible for consistent adherence to and enforcement of this Policy. - 7 - DRUG TESTING Drua Testinq Defined: Drug and/or alcohol tests shall test for substances which could affect an employee's ability to effectively and safely perform the functions of his/her job. Drug groups which are the focus of screening include, but are not limited to, the following: Amphetamines/methamphetamines; Barbiturates; Benzodiazepines (Valium); Cocaine; Methadone; Methaqualone (quaaludes); Opiates (morphine, codeine, heroin); Phencyclidine (PCP); Propoxyphene (Darvon); Marijuana; Alcohol; Steroids (Anabolic) and Chorionic Gonadotropin, per H&S Code § 11056(f). Upon implementation of this Policy, employees and certain applicants for employment will be required to submit to the following drug tests as applicable: Reasonable Suspicion Testinq A. Supervisors and Management employees may order that an employee submit to a drug and/or alcohol test when they have a reasonable suspicion that an employee is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on the job, or while specifically designated by a supervisor as being on call. Reasonable effort shall be made to have the testing order given by a supervisor or manager within the subject employee's department. For example, if a Police Department supervisor observes behavior indicative of reasonable suspicion to test a Public Works employee, reasonable steps given the precise circumstances, shall be undertaken to brief the appropriate Public Works supervisor. However, if the Public Works supervisor in this example is unable to later observe the factors constituting reasonable suspicion, the observations of the non-department supervisor shall suffice to allow either the department or non-department supervisor to order a test. - 8 - "Reasonable Suspicion" is a belief, based on objective facts, sufficient to lead a reasonably trained and prudent Supervisor or Management employee to suspect that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol such that the employee's ability to perform the functions of the job is impaired or so that the employee's ability to perform his/her job safely is reduced. See attached Reasonable Susoicion Testina Checklist. B. Any Supervisor or Management employee ordering an employee to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test must first document in writing the facts constituting reasonable suspicion that the employee in question is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. Said documentation must be submitted to the Human Resources Director or his/her designee prior to any test being administered. C. When a Supervisor or other Management employee has reasonable suspicion to believe that an employee is impaired by drugs or alcohol, the employee will be removed to a suitable location, which will ensure his or her privacy, will be interviewed and informed of the basis of the reasonable suspicion. Said interview shall be procedurally governed by any statues, ordinances, rules or regulations effecting such an employee interview. Where reasonably possible, said suspicion shall also be confirmed by a second supervisor or manager. Any statements made during the interview may be recorded, and may be used in any subsequent proceedings involving the employee. If the Supervisor or other Management employee still has a reasonable suspicion that the employee is still not drug free, the employee will be reminded of the City's Policy and ordered to submit to urine testing in accordance with the procedures established by this Policy (subject to concurrence in said order by the Human Resources Director and/or his designee). (It is recognized that drug screening by use of a "hair follicle" test has gained widespread support in the legal profession as constituting an accurate screening method. Accordingly, the City may, at its sole discretion, utilize said method. However, and in view of the relatively high cost of performing said test, the City is not compelled to use such a screening process.) If the employee agrees to comply with the order, he or she will be transported to a designated collection site. NO TEST SHALL BE ADMINISTERED, UNLESS THE HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR OR HIS/HER DESIGNEE CONCURS IN WRITING IN THE DETERMINATION THAT REASONABLE SUSPICION EXISTS TO JUSTIFY A TEST AND THAT THE TEST SHALL BE GIVEN PURSUANT TO THIS POLICY. Any Supervisor or Management employee encountering an employee who refuses an order to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test shall remind the employee of the -9 - requirements and disciplinary consequences of breaching this Policy. Where there is reasonable suspicion that the employee may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the Supervisor or Management employee should attempt to detain the employee other than by use of force, for a reasonable time until the employee can be safely transported home. D. Supervisors and Management employees shall not physically search the person of employees, nor shall they search the personal possessions of employees without the freely given consent of, and in the presence of, the employee. E. Managers and Supervisors shall notify their Department Head or designee when they have reasonable suspicion to believe that an employee may have illegal drugs in his or her possession or in an area not jointly or fully controlled by the City. If the Department Head or designee concurs that there is reasonable suspicion of illegal drug possession, the Department head shall notify the appropriate law enforcement agency. PRE-EMPLOYMENT TESTING Certain Job Applicants — After a conditional job offer has been extended, the Citv has a special need to require a drug and alcohol test in accordance with the procedures established by this Policy for certain applicants being considered for hire to certain job classifications . These classifications include but are not limited to jobs that have a special (uncommon or unique) and obvious (conspicuous or usually discernible) physical or ethical demand, which, if comprised, could have adverse consequences upon public safety or national security, or jobs that can directly influence children. Said classification shall include those defined on page 5 as safety sensitive positions, those listed in Exhibit A, and additional positions, which may from time to time be created that fit into the general description defined herein. These applicants must take and pass a drug and alcohol test following their acceptance of an offer of employment that is conditioned upon passing a pre-employment physical and drug/alcohol test. Confirmed Positive Results: The Human Resources Director or his/her designee will maintain the security of reported confirmed positive test results. Confirmed positive results may be used by the City in any disciplinary action against the employee involved, _ 10 - Consequences of Refusinq to Take anv Test Required by This Policy: Failure of any employee to submit immediately to a substance test ordered in accordance with this Policy (or other test approved herein) will be considered a serious offense of insubordination and may result in discipline, up to and including termination. Continuinq Legal Validitv of Testinq Procedures: In the event that future developments make it apparent that any approved drug testing procedures are unlawful, the City will cease to implement those procedures as are found to be unlawful. EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Early recognition and treatment of alcohol and drug abuse is important for successful rehabilitation, for economic return to the City, and for reduced personal, family and social disruption. The City encourages the earliest possible diagnosis and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse. However, the decision to seek diagnosis and accept treatment is primarily the individual employee's responsibility. To assist employees in obtaining early voluntary treatment, the City has established an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP provides counseling and assistance to all City employees. The Human Resources Department shall make information regarding such services available to all City employees. Employees with alcohol or drug abuse problems should request the confidential assistance of the EAP. Employees may seek help without approval or even the knowledge of their Supervisor or Manager. The EAP will provide assistance on a confidential basis and will refer the employee to appropriate counseling or treatment services. Requesting assistance of the EAP in dealing with an alcohol or drug abuse problem shall not, in and of itself, jeopardize the employee's continuing employment status with the City. However, requesting assistance of the EAP, whether it be voluntary or otherwise, does not immunize an employee from being subject to disciplinary action. In most instances, such requests will minimize exposure to disciplinary action. Employees who undergo voluntary counseling or treatment pursuant to a referral by the EAP and who continue to work must meet all established standards of conduct and job performance. - 11 - Voluntary Self-Referral to Employee Assistance Proqram (EAP); Assistance through the EAP program will be available on a self-referral basis as follows: A. Prior to discovery of any violation of this Policy, any employee who believes that he or she has a substance abuse problem requiring treatment may voluntarily request assistance through the EAP either directly through the EAP provider, if direct referral is available, or through his or her supervisor; B. To correctly and completely identify the nature of a substance abuse problem, an employee may be required by his or her Manager or Supervisor or the EAP provider to submit to a drug test prior to beginning counseling or treatment. The results of the test conducted by the EAP will not be reported to the Human Resources Director or the MRO. However, the EAP provider shall be authorized to advise the Human Resources Director, MRO, or the employee's supervisor if in the sole-opinion of the EAP provider, the employee is unfit to perform the duties of his/her position and attempts to perform said duties may result in serious safety risk to the City or to the public. The employer shall then be able to commence an investigation of the allegation; C. If the EAP provider determines it is appropriate, the employee may be referred to a rehabilitation program. An employee referred to a rehabilitation program will be responsible, in conjunction with any provider of available health and welfare benefits, for the cost of the rehabilitation program; D. Regardless of participation in the EAP program or a rehabilitation program, any employee found to be performing purportedly in the course and scope of employment while impaired by a drug or alcohol, or so impaired while specifically designated as being on call and as prohibited by this Policy, shall be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. Employees are, therefore, encouraged to request to be relieved from duty and be placed on a leave of absence during his or her participation in the EAP or rehabilitation program if the employee will not remain drug free during the program. The City will allow the employee to take one leave of thirty (30) calendar days or less and to charge accumulated sick leave or other leave credits while the employee participates in the EAP, rehabilitation or treatment program. If no leave credits are available to the employee, he or she may, if deemed necessary by Management, be placed on a leave of absence without pay for the duration of the EAP, rehabilitation or treatment program; - 12 - E. If an employee is experiencing performance problems or disciplinary action is contemplated or pending against the employee at the time a request for assistance is made, the request for assistance will be treated as a separate but possibly related issue. In no case will a request for assistance provide amnesty to an employee in a contemplated or pending disciplinary action. A request for assistance may, at the discretion of City Management, defer related pending or contemplated disciplinary action until completion of the treatment process; F. An employee will suffer no loss of seniority by virtue of his or her participation in the EAP or rehabilitation program. Dotionai Referral to Emnlovee Assistance Proaram [EAP]: The City recognizes that assistance through the EAP, or rehabilitation, rather than disciplinary action, or possibly in conjunction with some forms of discipline, may be appropriate in certain circumstances. Referral to the EAP, rather than discipline, or along with lesser forms of discipline other than termination, may be made as follows: A. Upon a first offense of a violation of this Policy, an employee will generally be given the option of referral to the EAP for completion of a prescribed rehabilitation program, rather than being terminated. The employee may be relieved of safety sensitive and/or security sensitive functions until completion of the rehabilitation program to the satisfaction of the rehabilitation counsel, return of a negative drug test, and signing of a Re-entry Agreement as discussed further below; B. An employee subject to optional referral must agree to undertake and to complete successfully a course of treatment as deemed appropriate by the EAP and/or rehabilitation program counselor. Any employee refusing to agree to comply with an optional referral is subject to discipline, up to and including termination. C. If an employee fails to conform to the requirements of the rehabilitation program and/or fails to successfully complete the program and/or fails to remain drug free, the employee may be terminated. As part of the terms of the optional referral, the employee agrees that the EAP provider and/or rehabilitation counselor will report to the employee's Supervisor or Manager any failure on the part of the employee to cooperate in the rehabilitation program, or to progress through the program to the satisfaction of the counselor; D. The City will allow the employee to take one leave of thirty (30) days or less and to charge accumulated sick leave or other leave credits while the employee - 13 - participates in the EAP, rehabilitation or treatment program. If no leave credits are available to the employee, he or she may, if deemed necessary by Management, be placed on a leave of absence without pay for the duration of the EAP, rehabilitation or treatment program; E. An employee will not generally be offered referral to the EAP or rehabilitation in lieu of discipline for a second violation of this Policy; F. An employee will suffer no loss of seniority by virtue of his or her participation in the EAP or rehabilitation program; G. An employee who desires to return to work after an optional referral must agree to the terms of a Re-entry Agreement, the terms of which shall be established by the City in its sole discretion. That Agreement may include, but is not limited to, the following: Release to Work: Submission of a Release to Work Statement, which is satisfactory to the City, from a medical or treatment specialist. Review and work release by the Medical Review Officer. Follow-up Care: Submission of an after care and follow-up treatment plan with a counselor or specialist which would last a minimum of six (6) months, or longer, as specified by the counselor or specialist. Negative Drug Test: Submission of a negative urine test (or hair follicle test), taken in accordance with the procedures established by the City. EMPLOYEE CONFIDENTIALITY Information about Collection of Sample: Employees will be verbally notified of the purpose for collecting a sample prior to its collection for a drug test under this Policy. The collection of urine samples shall be done with all reasonable regard for the employee's privacy, but with all reasonable assurances taken that the sample being provided remains secure. Laboratory or Test Results: Laboratory reports or test results shall not appear in an employee's general personnel folder. Information of this nature will be contained in a separate confidential medical folder that will be securely kept under the control of the Human Resources Director. The reports or test results shall be disclosed to City Management on a strictly need-to-know basis, and to the tested employee. Disclosures, without employee - 14 - consent, may also occur when: (1) the information is compelled by law or by judicial or administrative process; 2) the information has been placed at issue in a formal dispute between the employer and employee; (3) the information is to be used in administering an employee benefit plan; and (4) the information is needed by medical personnel for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient who is unable or unwilling to authorize disclosure. Searches: The City shall not physically search the person of any employee. The appropriateness of any physical search will be left to the determination of the proper legal authorities. Any searches of employees' personal belongings may be done only pursuant to freely given consent, or as permitted by law. The City may search any property or area which is City owned or leased by the City. Employees are specifically notified that the following areas are not private, unless agree to otherwise in writing by the City: desks, file cabinets, work area, employee lounges, lunch area, restrooms, lockers and any other storage area. Searches of said City owned or lease areas shall be done either: (1) in the employee's presence, or (2) with the employee's consent, or (3) pursuant to a valid search warrant, or (4) where the employee has been notified that a search will be conducted. LABORATORY SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT (These provisions are subject to necessary technical modification should hair follicle testing be utilized.) A. The City shall utilize medical providers that are qualified to handle the collection of urine samples for the purpose of drug and/or alcohol testing. Although selection of such provider(s) shall be in the sole discretion of the City, the latter shall solicit the advice of recognized employee organizations regarding such selection. B. The City shall utilize a laboratory that is properly licensed and SAMHSA certified and whose procedures comply with ongoing state and/or federal law. C. There shall be two (2) urine samples collected and split in two separate containers. The laboratory that conducts the screening of the urine sample for drug and/or alcohol testing must confirm the positive test - 15 - results by testing the second sample using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry. D. Samples collected under this procedure will only be tested to determine the presence of drugs and/or alcohol. E. The employee shall have the right to have both the split sample tested by another licensed lab at his/her own expense. However, results of a test(s) conducted by a laboratory selected by the employee need not be given the same weight by the City as is given to the test results produced by the laboratory selected by the City for the initial examination and, the results of the lab selected by the employee shall not be a bar to the City of taking corrective action as set forth in this Policy. At its sole discretion,the City can require that a sample be submitted to a third analysis by a lab of the City's choice and at City expense, in cases where the City lab and the employee designated lab have produced inconsistent results. The impact of any such third analysis shall be determined by the City. Drua Screeninq Process: A. The first screening of the urine sample will be by the Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique (EMIT). If the first test is positive, the urine sample shall be submitted for a confirmation screening test. B. The confirmation test will be by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry, C. Only a positive result by the confirmation testing will be reported to the City of EI Segundo by the MRO. Subject to the exceptional substance levels described below, it is the policy of the City of EI Segundo that a test result indicative of any such level of alcohol or drug shall authorize the City to address said finding as described in this policy. However, the City's contact of professional criminalist and healthcare providers has lead to a recognition that certain minimal levels of specified drugs may be confirmed via the drug screening process described herein, yet from a medical and municipal policy implementation viewpoint, should not result in adverse consequences to the subject employee. The City's investigation has revealed that a variety of law enforcement agencies, criminalists and healthcare professionals, do acknowledge that certain specified drugs can exist in trace amounts within the body, without - 16 - causing impairment and/or without having been knowingly ingested. Therefore, a positive drug screen indicatina the following drug levels shall not be indicative of a "positive" drug test. The foilowinq levels are approved by NIDA: EMIT GUMS Drua Screenin4 Cutoff Confirmation Cutoff 1. amphetamines/methamphetamines 1000 ng/mi 500 ng/ml 2. barbiturates 300 100 3. benzodiazepines (Valium tranquilizers) 300 150 4. cocaine metabolite 300 150 5. methadone 300 100 6. methaqualone 300 100 7. opiates (morphine, codeine, heroin) 2,000 2,000 B. phencyclidine (PCP) 25 25 9. propoxyphene (Darvon) 300 100 10. cannabinoid (THC) 50 15 11. steroids N/A N/A 12. alcohol (urine) 0.02% 0.02% D. The remainder of the positive urine specimen(s) shall be retained frozen by the laboratory for one (1) year. Sample Collection Procedure A. Employees who are sent to the City's medical facility for drug and/or alcohol testing shall provide a urine specimen that will be split Into two bottles(samples A and B) according to the following collection procedures: 1. The employee shall be given two urine containers to take into the urine collection room. 2. The urine collection room shall contain a toilet and a sink. The toilet water is dyed blue and the hot water to the room is shut off by a control handle located outside of the room. 3. The employee shall leave his/her belongings in a locked room during the sample collection procedure. 4. The employee shall be allowed to dress in civilian clothing when providing the samples. 5. The employee, upon providing the urine samples, will hand the samples to the collector. 6. The collector will test the temperature of the samples to ensure they are between 90 and 100° Fahrenheit. 7. The collector will split the sample into two containers with a lid and tape, in view of the employee and that employee will then initial and date the - 17 - samples. One sample shall be marked "Sample A" and the second marked "Sample B." 8. The samples will then be placed into a plastic bag that is then sealed until it reaches the laboratory. 9. The collector will ask the employee to list any medications they are currently taking. EDUCATION The City will make adequate provisions for the education of its employees concerning the nature of and reasons for this Policy and the procedures established by the Policy, The City will make the possible disciplinary consequences of violation of this Policy known to all employees. The City will also distribute information to the employees which clearly explains the dangers and symptoms of substance abuse and the various techniques and alternatives available to deal with substance abuse. Communication shall remain open regarding these subjects. Savincvs Clause If any provision of this Policy is found to be unlawful, the remaining provisions which are not found to be unlawful will remain in full force and effect.

Date Employee's Signature Job Title Employee's Name (Printed) Date - 18 - DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE STATEMENT July 25, 1994 1. PURPOSE The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, passed by Congress on October 21, 1988, requires all grant recipients to implement a comprehensive substance abuse policy. Under the Workplace Act, to be eligible to obtain a federal grant, an employer must certify to the granting agency that it will provide a drug-free workplace. It is the intent of the City of EI Segundo to maintain a safe, healthful and productive work environment for all employees. To accomplish this, the City will act to eliminate any drug abuse which increases the potential for accidents, absenteeism, below standard performance, poor employee morale or damage to the City's reputation. Everyone covered by this statement should be aware that violations of this policy may result in discipline, up to and including termination, a requirement that the employee participate in a drug assistance or rehabilitation program, and/or in not being hired. Because it is widely recognized that drugs hinder one's ability to perform work safely, productively and effectively, the following statement is hereby adopted by the City of EI Segundo. 2. STATEMENT The City of E/Segundo prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance, alcohol or other drug that the employee knows or reasonably should know could interfere with the safe and effective performance of duties or operation of City egdipment in the workplace. 3. ACTIONS THAT WILL BE TAKEN AGAINST EMPLOYEES FOR VIOLATION OF THE PROHIBITIONS IN PARAGRAPH 2 ABOVE _ 19 - In accord with the Substance Abuse Policy that accompanies and is incorporated by reference in this Statement, the City recognizes that aid through an Employee Assistance Program or rehabilitation program, rather than disciplinary action, or a combination of discipline and participation in an EAP or Rehabilitation program, may be appropriate in responding to employees who have violated either or both this Statement or the Substance Abuse Policy. Reference should be made by the employee to the Substance Abuse Policy, in order to be fully apprised of the range of options that may be utilized by the City in responding to violations of the Statement and/or Substance Abuse Policy. Of course, the City may determine that discipline alone is the appropriate manner by which to address violations of the Statement and/or Policy. 4. CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT As a condition of employment, all employees will: a) abide by the terms of this statement; and b) notify the Human Resources Director or his/her designee of any drug related criminal statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days after the conviction. "Safety Sensitive" employees, as defined herein, shall also advise of a drug related arrest within said timeframe. (See Substance Abuse Policy for definition of terms used herein.) 5.

This commitment is based on the City's obligation to protect the health and safety of its customers and employees, and includes taking the appropriate steps to maintain a workplace free from alcohol and other drug use. The information contained in this document applies to employees who perform safety-sensitive functions as defined by Federal regulation. In addition to this document, safety-sensitive employees must comply with other City policies. This document supersedes all previous policies, practices, or guidelines. It is not an emfflovee contract and is not intended as one. As with any City document, it may be revised and is subject to modification at any time. Com pliance Statement "City" supports and complies with the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991. In addition to other prohibited conduct set forth in this document (below), employees should especially note that The unlawful manufacture,distribution, dispensation, possession, concealment, use, sale,transfer, or purchase of a controlled substance on City-owned or-controlled property,or in City-owned or-leased vehicles, or on any property while"on the clock"or performing any City business, is strictly prohibited. Such action will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement officials. Distribution A copy of this document will be provided to all current safety-sensitive employees, and will be given to each person subsequently hired for or transferred to a covered position. Written notice of the availability of this information will be provided to representatives of employee organizations. 1. CONTACT PERSON KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE PROGRAM: Name: Bob Hyland Interim Director of Human Resources 350 Main Street El Segundo, CA 90245 310.524.2336 Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics 7600 Tyrone Ave. Van Nuys, CA 91405 (800) 877-2520 Medical Review Officer (MRO): Eleanor Gilbert, M.D. 1430 Main Street Salt Lake City, UT 84115 888.249.4575 2. COVERED EMPLOYEES: • All City employees who hold a commercial driver's license (CDL) and who drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) as part of their assigned duties, whether regularly or on an as-needed basis shall be subject to the provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations and City policies included in this document. Firefighters are exempt from these regulations. • A CMV is a motor vehicle used to transport passengers or property that: a. has a gross combination weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 or more pounds inclusive of a towed unit with a GVWR of more than 10,000 pounds; b. has a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 or more pounds; c. is designed to transport 16 or more people, including the driver; or d. is of any size and is used in the transportation of materials found to be hazardous for the purposes of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act and which require that the vehicle be placarded under the Hazardous Materials regulations. 3. FUNCTIONS AND PERIOD OF THE WORK DAY COVERED BY THE 3 PROGRAM: Safety-sensitive functions performed by drivers include: a. all time at an employer or shipper, plant, terminal, facility, or other property, or on any public property, waiting to be dispatched, unless the driver has been relieved from duty by the employer; b. all time spent inspecting equipment as required by FMCSA regulation, or otherwise inspecting, servicing, or conditioning any CMV at any time; c. all time spent at the driving controls of a CMV in operation; d, all time, other than driving time, in or upon any CMV, except time spent resting in a sleeper berth; e. all time loading or unloading a CMV, supervising or assisting in the loading or unloading, tending a vehicle being loaded or unloaded, remaining in readiness to operate the vehicle, or in giving or receiving receipts for shipments loaded or unloaded; and f. all time repairing, obtaining assistance, or remaining in attendance upon a disabled vehicle. For purposes of the substance abuse regulations, a driver is considered to be performing a safety-sensitive function during any period in which the driver is actually performing, ready to perform,or immediately available to perform any safety-sensitive function. 19 For example, an employee holds a CDL and is on call to drive a CMV at any time during his or her work day. Even though these functions might not be performed during his or her regular work day, he or she would be subject to testing the entire work day because he or she is immediately available to perform the functions of a driver. 21 Employees will only be tested for alcohol while they are at a work site. 4. PROHIBITED CONDUCT UNDER THE FMCSA REGULATIONS: 4 f DRUG USE Any unlawful use of a controlled substance (i.e., use without a valid medical explanation) is prohibited. • Although the FMCSA only requires and authorizes testing for five drug classes (marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and phencyclidine),an employee cannot perform a safety-sensitive function if the employee has used any Schedule I controlled substance or other substance that renders the driver incapable of safely operating the vehicle. ALCOHOL AND ALCOI-IOL USE Definitions • Alcohol is the intoxicating agent in beverage alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or other low molecular weight alcohols, including methyl or isopropyl alcohol. • Alcohol use is the consumption of any beverage, mixture, or preparation, including anv medication (prescribed or over-the-counter, intentional or unintentional), containing alcohol. A. Alcohol Possession • Covered employees may not possess any alcoholic beverage while on duty, except alcoholic beverages that are manifested and transported as part of a shipment. B. Alcohol Concentration Covered employees may not report for duty or remain on duty in a position requiring the performance of safety-sensitive functions while having an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater. • FMCSA regulations also provide that an employee who has an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater but less than 0.04 cannot be permitted to perform safety-sensitive functions. It will therefore be a violation of City policy for any covered employee to report for duty or remain on duty with an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater. C. Pre-Duty Use 5 Employees may not perform safety-sensitive duties within 4 hours after consuming alcohol. On-call employees who are not at work, but could be called to perform safety- sensitive functions, are subject to the pre-duty alcohol prohibition (i.e., they would have to decline a call to work if acceptance would result in performing safety-sensitive duties within the 4 hours). D. On-Duty Use Covered employees may not consume alcohol in any form while performing safety-sensitive functions. This prohibition also applies to covered employees who are at work and immediately available to perform safety-sensitive functions. E. Use After an Accident No covered employee required to take a post-accident test under FMCSA regulations shall use alcohol for 8 hours after the accident or until he or she has been given a post-accident test, whichever occurs first. (For employees required to undergo testing, see Post-Accident Testing, below.) REFUSAL TO SUBMIT TO TESTING. Covered employees may not refuse to submit to a required drug or alcohol test. The City will not permit an employee who refuses to submit to such a test to perform or continue to perform safety-sensitive functions. • Refusal to submit to testing means that the employee: failed to provide adequate breath for alcohol testing or urine for drug testing after receiving notice of the requirement to be tested without a valid medical explanation for the failure, OR AB engaged in conduct that clearly obstructs the testing process (including, but not limited to, specimen adulteration or substitution, spitting in a breath tube, refusing to sign block 2 on the breath alcohol testing form, etc.) Refusal to submit to a pre-employment or return to duty test is not a violation of the FMCSA rule, but such a refusal will preclude the individual from performing safety-sensitive functions for a regulated employer. S. CIRCUMSTANCES THAT REQUIRE TESTING: 6 Covered employees are subject to the following federally-mandated drug and alcohol tests: A. Pre-emulovment ■ Pre-employment drug testing is required before an employee performs a safety-sensitive function for the first time. • The City must obtain a verified negative test result from the medical review officer before permitting the employee to perform any safety-sensitive duties. B. Post-Accident As soon as practicable after an accident, each surviving covered employee must undergo drug and alcohol testing if the accident was determined by the City to meet the following conditions: JR The occurrence involved a CMV operated on a public road in commerce AND the driver: ■ was performing a safety-sensitive function with respect to the vehicle if the accident involved a human fatality; OR • received a citation under State or local law for a moving traffic violation arising from the accident AND the accident involved: D bodily injury to any person who, as a result of the injury, immediately receives treatment away from the scene of the accident, OR © disabling damage to one or more motor vehicles incurred as a result of the accident, requiring the motor vehicle to be transported away from the scene by a tow truck or other motor vehicle. A covered employee who is subject to post-accident testing will remain readily available for testing or may be deemed by the City to have refused to submit to testing. • Attempts to conduct post-accident drug testing will cease 32 hours after the accident, even if no drug test has been conducted. Attempts to conduct post-accident alcohol testing will cease 8 hours after the accident, even if no alcohol test has been conducted. C. Random 7 ■ Covered employees will be selected for random drug and alcohol testing using a computer-based random selection program. • Covered employees shall be subject to random drug and alcohol testing at rates not less than the minimum(s) required by regulation. Currently, the number of alcohol tests required each year is 10% of the number of covered employees. The number of required drug tests is 50% of the number of covered employees. • Random tests will be spaced throughout the year and will be unannounced. • Random testing may be conducted any time during any work shift, and may be conducted on any work day during the year. • An employee might be selected more than once or not at all in any given year. • Random alcohol tests will be conducted while the employee is performing safety-sensitive functions,just before the employee is to perform safety- sensitive functions, or just after the employee has ceased performing safety- sensitive functions. • Employees notified of selection for random testing must proceed immediately to the testing site. Failure to immediately report for testing may be considered by the City to be a refusal to submit to testing. D. Reasonable 5usnicion A covered employee must submit to a drug and/or alcohol test if the City has determined that reasonable suspicion exists that the employee has violated the drug use and/or alcohol misuse prohibitions. This determination must be based on a trained supervisor's specific, contemporaneous, articulable observations concerning the appearance, behavior, speech or body odors of the employee. The observations regarding alcohol misuse must be made just before, during, or just after the employee's performance of safety-sensitive duties. • Even if an alcohol test cannot be administered, no employee who is under the influence of or impaired by alcohol, as shown by physical, behavioral, speech, or performance indicators of alcohol misuse, should report for duty or remain on duty requiring the performance of safety-sensitive functions,nor will the City permit such an employee to report for or remain on duty, until a test can be administered and the result is below 0.02 or until the commencement of the employee's next duty period if at least 24 hours has elapsed. 8 • Nothing in this section should be construed as limiting the City's ability, based on the City's independent authority, to take action against or impose other requirements on employees suspected of drug and/or alcohol use or misuse. NOTE: In addition to testing required by FMCSA,employees may be subject to drug and/or alcohol testing under City policy for suspected substance abuse. Such testing will be accomplished based on criteria established by the City, and may include testing under circumstances other than those set forth in FMCSA's regulation. E. Return to Dutv Before a covered employee returns to duty in a safety-sensitive function after engaging in prohibited conduct, he or she must undergo a return to duty test. The employee cannot perform a safety-sensitive function until an alcohol test result indicating an alcohol concentration of less than 0.02 and/or a verified negative drug test is obtained. • An employee may be required to undergo both drug and alcohol return to duty testing after a violation (whether drug- or alcohol-related) if the substance abuse professional (SAP) determines that testing for both is necessary for that particular employee. F. Follow-UD DOT regulations require employees who have tested positive to be referred to a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) for evaluation and recommended treatment including follow up testing and removed from the DOT covered safety sensitive position. Any employee who has a positive test may result in discipline up to and including termination. Each covered employee, who has been identified by a SAP as needing assistance in resolving a problem with drug use or alcohol misuse and who has returned to duty performing a safety-sensitive function, will be subject to follow-up testing. Follow-up tests will be unannounced and at least 6 tests must be conducted in the first 12 months after the employee is back on the job. Follow-up testing may continue for up to 60 months. The schedule for follow-up drug and/or alcohol testing is established by a SAP. 9 • An employee may be required to undergo both drug and alcohol follow-up testing after a violation (whether drug- or alcohol-related) if the SAP determines that testing for both is necessary for that particular employee. 10 6. PROCEDURES FOR DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING A. Drue Testine i. Collection • All drug testing is conducted by analysis of a urine specimen. The specimen collection process is designed to protect employee privacy and individual dignity. Each urine specimen collected will be subdivided into two portions (called "primary" and "split"; see below for more on split specimens). • Professional collectors are used to collect the specimens, and all specimens are sent to a laboratory certified by the Department of Health and Human Services. The collector must verify the donor's identification, and can be required to provide his/her identification to the donor on request. + Chain of custody is maintained on the specimen from the time of collection throughout the analysis to ensure that the results are attributed to the correct employee and that the specimen is properly handled. NOTE: If the employee cannot provide sufficient urine for testing, he or she must undergo a medical examination to determine if there is a medical condition that caused the inability to provide a specimen or if the employee refused to submit to testing. ii. Specimen Analysis • Each specimen is screened by the laboratory. If the screening test does not indicate that drug(s) might be present at or above the cut-off level established by the Department of Transportation (DOT), the specimen is reported as negative to the Medical Review Officer(MRO). • If the screening test indicated drug(s) might be present, the specimen undergoes confirmatory testing using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Only if the GC/MS test indicates that the specimen is positive at or above the DOT drug cut-off levels is the result reported as a confirmed positive to the MRO. iii. Medical Review Officer ■ The MRO is a licensed physician who is responsible for receiving laboratory results . The MRO has knowledge of substance abuse disorders and appropriate training to interpret and evaluate a confirmed positive test result. I1 • Negative laboratory test results are reviewed by the MRO or staff for administrative purposes (to ensure the documents are complete and accurate), and subsequently reported to the City as verified negative test results. • A test result confirmed as positive by the laboratory does not automatically identify the employee as an illegal drug user. The MRO review is intended to determine if there is an alternate legitimate medical explanation for the test result. • The MRO evaluation can include conducting a medical interview with the specimen donor, review of the donor's medical history and other biomedical factors, and review of records made available to the MRO by the donor. • The MRO or his/her staff must contact the donor to obtain any relevant medical information. When necessary, the City will assist in contacting the donor. In most cases, the MRO must talk directly to the donor before verifying a positive test; however, there are some circumstances under which the test can be verified as positive without such contact. These are: The donor declines to talk to the MRO about the test; 39 Neither the MRO nor the City, after making all reasonable efforts, has been able to contact the employee within 14 days of the date on which the MRO received the confirmed positive test result from the laboratory; The City contacted the donor and more than 5 days has passed since the donor was told to contact the MRO; w NOTE: If a test is verified positive without contact under the latter 2 circumstances, the donor may present to the MRO information documenting that serious illness, injury, or other circumstances unavoidably prevented the employee from being contacted by the MRO or designated employer representative or from contacting the MRO within the times provided. • Once the MRO completes the verification process, the result is reported to the City. A test for which no medical explanation was provided will be reported as verified positive. If the donor presented an acceptable explanation for the result, it will be reported as verified negative to the City. • Under limited circumstances, and only after appropriate warnings have been given by the MRO to the donor, the MRO may reveal other medical information about the donor if the MRO feels that safety might be affected by the donor's condition or drug use. iv. Split Specimen Analysis • At the time the MRO tells the donor that the specimen has been confirmed as positive by the laboratory, the MRO will also advise the donor of the right to 12 obtain an analysis of the split specimen at a second laboratory that has been designated by the City. • The donor has until 72 hours after the donor has been advised that the MRO has verified the test as positive to compel the analysis of the split specimen. • The City will be responsible for the costs of collecting the split specimen and for analysis of the primary specimen and the split specimen. • If the split specimen is inadequate or unsuitable for testing, unavailable,or if it fails to reconfirm the presence of the drug at the level of detection, the entire test will be canceled. Alcohol Testing i. Breath Analysis • All testing is conducted using evidential breath testing devices (EBTs) operated by trained breath alcohol technicians (BATS). • The BAT must verify the identification of each employee and must provide positive identification to the employee on request. The BAT will also explain the testing process to the employee. • Each test will begin with a screening test. If the result is below 0.02, the test result is negative and testing is complete. 1f the test result is 0.02 or greater, a confirmation test must be conducted. • The confirmation test must be conducted after a 15 minute wait(starting from the time of the screening test) during which the employee is watched and instructed not to eat, drink, put anything in his or her mouth, or, to the extent possible, belch. Testing will be conducted even if the employee ignores this instruction, however. • The confirmation test result determines the consequences of the test under the FMCSA regulation. ii. Invalid Tests ■ By regulation, a breath alcohol test is invalid under the following circumstances: The EBT does not pass its next external calibration check (this invalidates all test results of 0.02 or greater on tests conducted since the last valid external calibration test; it does not invalidate negative tests). The BAT does not observe the minimum 15-minute waiting period prior to the confirmation test. 13 The BAT does not perform an air blank of the EBT before a confirmation test, or such an air blank does not result in a reading of 0.00. 39 The BAT does not sign the form. The BAT fails to note in the "Remarks" section of the form that the employee has failed or refused to sign the form after the test has been conducted. An EBT fails to print a confirmation test result. V The sequential test number or alcohol concentration displayed on the EBT is not the same as the sequential test number or alcohol concentration on the printed result. NOTE: If the employee cannot provide adequate breath, he or she must undergo a medical examination to determine if there is a medical condition that caused the inability to provide breath or if the employee refused to submit to testing. 7. SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM RECORDS Employee records pertaining to the FMCSA-mandated substance abuse prevention program, including those pertaining to drug and alcohol testing, will be maintained in a secure location with controlled access. • Records will be promptly released to the employee, or a person identified by the employee (including subsequent employers), upon written request of the employee. This release of information will not be contingent upon payment for records other than those specifically requested. • These records will be released to the Secretary of Transportation upon request of DOT or FMCSA, and to the National Transportation Safety Board when requested as part of an accident investigation. • These records will be released to the employee or a decision maker in a lawsuit, grievance, or other proceeding initiated by or on behalf of the individual and arising out of a determination that the employee engaged in prohibited conduct. 14 8. CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE FMCSA RULES: Removal From Safety-Sensitive Functions Covered employees are prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions if they have engaged in prohibited conduct under the FMCSA rule or another DOT agency's substance abuse prevention rule (including refusal to submit to random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, or follow-up testing). Employees with a confirmed positive drug or alcohol test or who refuse to test will be subject to discipline up to and including termination. Information Reearding Assistance Each employee who has engaged in prohibited drug or alcohol use or has refused to submit to a required test shall be advised of the resources available for evaluating and assisting the employee in resolving problems associated with drug or alcohol use. This information will include the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of substance abuse professionals and counseling and treatment programs. The following sources can also offer assistance: • Community mental health centers • Family service agencies • Private physicians and therapists • Local hospitals • Specialized treatment centers for alcoholism and other drug use ■ Telephone hotlines, including: n, 1-800-ALCOHOL A referral hotline for persons with alcohol problems 1-800-COCAINE A referral hotline for persons using cocaine u� 1-800-662-HELP A national hotline referral service, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, Dept. of Health and Human Services w 1-800-344-2666 Al-Anon, for family and friends of alcoholics u� 1-800-766-6779 Marijuana Anonymous referral hotline uz 1-818-773-9999 Narcotics Anonymous referral hotline (not toll-free) w 1-212-870-3400 Alcoholics Anonymous World Headquarters (not toll- free) 15 Reauired Evaluations and Testing DOT regulations require employees who have tested positive for alcohol or drugs or refused to test to be referred to a SAP for evaluation and recommended treatment including follow up testing. Before an employee can return to performing safety sensitive duties for another employer, they must complete the provisions of this section. It is the employee's responsibility to complete these requirements and if not completed may result in discipline up to and including termination. No covered employee who has had a verified positive drug test, has violated the rules on alcohol misuse, or has refused to submit to testing can perform any safety-sensitive function unless and until that employee has: 1. Been evaluated by a SAP to determine whether the employee is in need of assistance in resolving problems related to alcohol use. 2. Completed any treatment recommended by the SAP; 3. Been evaluated by a SAP to ensure that the employee has properly followed the treatment program; and 4. Undergone required return to duty testing. The SAP must be a licensed physician (medical doctor or doctor of osteopathy) or licensed or certified psychologist, social worker, employee assistance professional, or addiction counselor (certified by the ICRC or NAADACC) with knowledge of and clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to alcohol and drug use and abuse. 9. CONSEQUENCE FOR HAVING AN ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION OF 0.02 OR GREATER BUT LESS THAN 0.04 If a covered employee is found to have an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater but less than 0.04, that employee will be immediately removed from performing safety-sensitive functions and may result in discipline up to and including termination. 16 CERTIFICATE OF RECEIPT I, the undersigned employee, certify that I have received a copy of policy material on the misuse of alcohol and use of controlled substances as required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (49 CFR 382.601(d)).

Encourage employees to report work place hazards, emphasizing that it may be done with no fear of reprisal, and that it is a basic requirement of the job. EMPLOYEES Employee responsibilities for safety will include the following: 1. Adhere to all City and Department rules and regulations. 2. Wear appropriate safety equipment required as a condition of employment. 3. Maintain equipment in good condition, with all safety guards in place when in operation. 4. Report all injuries, no matter how minor, immediately to a supervisor. 5. Encourage co-workers to work safely. 6. Report unsafe acts,work practices, and conditions following the procedures outlined in Part 2 of this Injury and Illness Prevention Program. All employees of the City are responsible for working safely and maintaining a safe and healthful work environment. Such responsibility includes keeping work areas neat and clean to reduce the chances of accidents and injuries. Each employee is responsible for keeping his or her work area neat and orderly. Good housekeeping is an integral part of any effective safety program. Keeping work areas neat and clean reduces the chance of accidents and injuries. Well-organized work areas also increase the ability of employees to perform their jobs efficiently. Housekeeping inspections will be conducted in each department on a regular basis. PART 1: SYSTEM FOR ENSURING EMPLOYEE COMPLIANCE At the time of initial employment and at other periodic intervals,employees are notified through the employer's safety handbook and other written communications, verbally and by various other methods that compliance with established andfor common sense safe and healthy work practices, whether written or unwritten, is a mandatory condition of employment. Employees who fail to adhere to job safety standards (including attending all required training)are subject to disciplinary action,including,but not limited to,verbal reprimands, written warnings,suspension,and discharge. Furthermore,no single disciplinary action shall set a precedent for any other disciplinary action relating to a safety or health violation that may be perceived to be of a like or similar nature. From time-to-time,employees may be recognized for their compliance with safety and health standards and/or continuation of work without injury or incident by means of special notice or award. PART 2: SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING WITH EMPLOYEES At the time of initial and at other intervals, employees are notified verbally, through the employer's safety handbook and other written communications, and/or by various other methods of applicable safe work practices and working conditions, and that all employees have the right and obligation to report any work- related injury or unsafe condition or hazard without fear of reprisal or threat of job security. Such information may be submitted using a standard form or otherwise in writing (signed or anonymous), or verbally to the employee's supervisor or any other member of management, or directly to the appropriate federal, state, or local governmental agency. The City Safety and Health Committee will be representative of all City departments and will be made up of management, supervisors and/or rank and file employees. The Committee will: 1. Meet regularly, but not less than quarterly; 2. Prepare and make available to the affected employees, written records of the safety and health issues discussed at the Committee meetings and maintained for review for Cal- OSHA upon request; 3. Review results of the periodic, scheduled worksite inspections; 3 4. Review investigations of occupational accidents and causes of incidents resulting in occupational injury, occupational illness, or exposure to hazardous substances and,where appropriate, submit suggestions to management for the prevention of future incidents; 5. Review investigations of alleged hazardous conditions brought to the attention of any Committee member. When determined necessary by the Committee, the Committee may conduct its own inspection and investigation to assist in remedial solutions; 6. Submit recommendations to assist in the evaluation of employee safety suggestions; and 7. Upon request from CaL-OSHA verifies abatement action taken by the employer to abate citations issued by CaL-OSHA; and 8. Develop methods, procedures and incentives designed to recognize employees who follow safe and healthful work practices. PART 3: SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING/EVALUATING HAZARDS Work place hazards are identified and evaluated through review of information concerning potential safety and health hazards provided by state and federal occupational safety and health agencies, suppliers and manufacturers of materials used in operations of the employer(MSDS),and manufacturers of equipment used by the employer; analysis of the steps involved in the work process and the potential hazards associated therewith; review of accidents, injuries, and illnesses(including"near misses:and which have occurred in the work place; reviewing and responding to all health and safety complaints and suggestions from employees; reviewing of applicable laws and regulation; and regularly scheduled and periodic inspections of the work place. Inspections are conducted whenever new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment are introduced that represent an occupational hazard; whenever the employer is made aware of a new or previously unrecognized hazard, and at other frequencies determined by the level of hazard associated with the site or process. In addition to scheduled inspections and ongoing review,the Director of Administrative Services will arrange for unscheduled and unannounced surprise inspections. The list of subjects for these inspections will be chosen randomly but with particular emphasis placed on previously identified hazardous conditions in the work place and general housekeeping. Records of inspections, including the date of inspection, identification of the area or process inspected, person conducting the inspection,findings of the inspection, and required actions are retained for a minimum period of three years. Individual records of training, including date of training,type of training, and training providers are retained in the employee's personnel file for a minimum of three years except for shorter period as otherwise allowed by law, All managers, supervisors and employee should also engage in daily, ongoing monitoring and inspection of their specific work areas. PART 4: INJURY/ILLNESS INVESTIGATION PROCEDURES Occupational injuries and illnesses are documented on a comprehensive report of accident and are investigated by management to determine what tools,equipment,job site or building condition,etc, may have caused or contributed to the incident;what action of the affected employee caused or contributed to the injury or illness; and what action has been taken or will be taken to prevent recurrence. In cases where corrective action is required,specific persons are assigned the responsibility of so doing and follow up is made to assure that appropriate action has been completed. Standardized forms are used to organize and document the investigation and completed actions. Copies of all forms are available in the Human Resources Division, Administrative Services Department. PART 5: SYSTEM FOR CORRECTING UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS At such time that unsafe or unhealthy conditions, work practices or work procedures are discovered, employees are removed from the area if applicable because of the level of hazard and appropriate immediate actions are directed by management to correct the hazard and mitigate the potential damage to person or property. Procedures include documented investigation of the cause and/or source of the hazard, 4 identification of corrective actions needed, assignment of persons responsible for the completion of specific remedial actions,and follow up for compliance. Training and/or retraining of affected employees is provided as applicable. As referenced above if the identified work place hazard involves an imminent risk of significant or substantial physical injury or death, City policy dictates that steps will be taken to correct the situation irnmediately. If the work place hazard does not involve such an imminent risk,corrective actions will be taken as soon as possible and no later than 15 days after the City or individual becomes aware of its presence. PART 6: TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION PROCEDURES At the time of initial employment;when employees are given new job assignments for which training has not previously been given; when new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment are introduced that represent a new hazard;when the employer is made aware of a new or previously unrecognized hazard;and at other intervals designated by management, employees are trained in applicable safe and healthy work practices in groups or individually through distribution and review of the employer's safety handbook and its supplements;through other written communications, posters,booklets,etc.; and by various other methods as applicable to providing instruction in a form readily understandable by the affected employee or group of employees. Supervisory personnel will also receive training and instruction designed to insure their familiarization with the work place safety and health hazards to which employees under their direction and control may be exposed. Safety or "Tailgate" meetings will be conducted by department managers or supervisors on a regularly scheduled and as needed basis. During these meetings the manager or supervisor shall discuss with the employees under his/her direct supervision such issues as new hazards that have been introduced or discovered in the work place; causes of recent accidents or injuries and the methods adopted by the City to prevent similar incidents in the future; and any health and safety issue defined by the manager or supervisorto require discussion and reinforcement. All safety meetings will be documented on the appropriate form. PART 7: EMERGENCIES In addition to the City's written Injury and Illness Prevention Program,the City's Police and Fire departments have written plans related to emergency and disaster preparedness and response, fire prevention, and environmental and hazardous materials. 5 Attachment #1 OSHA DIGEST DIGEST OF SENATE BILL 198 AND RELATED REGULATIONS On October 3, 1989, Senate Bill#198 became effective and made several changes to the California Labor Code dealing with worker safety. The most significant was the requirement for ALL employers to implement a WRITTEN injury and illness prevention program. The bill required the Cal/OSHA Standards Board to adopt specific standards regarding criteria to be included in these written programs. The bill amended Labor Code Section 6401.7 as follows: 6401.7 Injury Prevention Program (Amended October 2, 1989) (a) Every employer shall establish,implement,and maintain an effective injury prevention program. The program shall be written and shall include, but not be limited to, the following elements: (1) Identification of the person or persons responsible for implementing the program. (2) The employer's system for identifying and evaluating work-place hazards, including scheduled periodic inspections to identify unsafe conditions and practices. (3) The employer's methods and procedures for correcting unsafe or unhealthy conditions and work practices in a timely manner. (4) An occupational health and safety training program designed to instruct employees in general safe and healthy work practices and to provide specific instruction with respect to hazards specific to each employee's job assignment. (5) The employer's system for communicating with employees on occupational health and safety matters, including provisions designed to encourage employees to inform the employer of hazards at the worksite without fear of reprisal. (6) The employer's system for ensuring that employees comply with safe and healthy work practices, which may include disciplinary action. (b) The employer shall correct unsafe and unhealthy conditions and work practices in a timely manner based on the severity of the hazard. (c) The employer shall train all employees when the training program is first established, all new employees,and all employees given a new job assignment,and shall train employees whenever new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment are introduced to the workplace and represent a new hazard, and whenever the employer receives notification of a new or previously unrecognized hazard. (d) The employers shall keep appropriate records of steps taken to implement and maintain the program. (e) The standards board shall adopt a standard setting forth the employer's duties under this section, on or before January 1, 1991, consistent with the requirements specified in subdivision(a), (b), (c),and (d). The Standards Board, in adopting the standard,shall include substantial compliance criteria for use in evaluating an employer's injury prevention program. The board may adopt less stringent criteria for employers with few employees and for employers in industries with insignificant occupational safety hazards. (f) The standard adopted pursuant to subdivision (e) shall specifically permit employer and employee 6 occupational safety and health committees to be included in the employer's injury prevention program, The board shall establish criteria for use in evaluating employer and employee occupational safety and health committees. The criteria shall include minimum duties, including the following: (1) Review of the employer's (A) periodic, scheduled worksite inspections, (B) investigation of causes of incidents resulting in injury, illness, or exposure to hazardous substances, and investigation of any alleged hazardous condition brought to the attention of any committee member. When determined necessary by the committee,the committee may conduct its own inspections and investigations. (2) Upon request from the division, verification of abatement action taken by the employer as specified in division citations If an employer's occupational safety and health committee meets the criteria established by the board, it shall be presumed to be in substantial compliance with paragraph (5) of subdivision (a). (g) The division shall adopt regulations specifying the procedures for selecting employee representatives for employer-employee occupational health and safety committees when these procedures are not specified in an applicable collective bargaining agreement. No employee or employee organization shall be held liable for any act or omission in connection with a health and safety committee. SB#198 also amended other sections of the Labor Code so that every inspection by Cal/OSHA must include an evaluation of the employer's written injury and illness prevention program and that employers who do not have an operative program will not be entitled to downward penalty adjustments for serious or non-serious violations because of a previous"good history"safety record. General Industry Safety Order As required by SB #198, the Cal/OSHA Standards Board issued its final administrative regulations on December 13, 1990 and submitted them to the California Office of Administrative Law (OAL)for approval. OAL approved the regulations on January 16, 1991. The new regulations adopted by the Standard Board resulted in the following revision to Section 3203 of the California Code of Regulations, Title 8 (Industrial Relations). It is the title that establishes the state's General Industry Safety Orders with which employers must comply. Section 3203.

On January 17,2017, Council was presented a draft customer satisfaction survey for review.Council provided feedback to develop the customer satisfaction survey to align the survey with the concept of the Net Promoter Score(NPS).The NPS provides the core measurement for customer experience. In order to calculate the City's NPS,the survey will use the answer to a key question, using a 0-10 scale. 17 The NPS question for the residential survey was: On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is very likely, 5 in neutral and 0 is very unlikely, based on your personal experiences, how likely would you 226 recommend the City of El Segundo to a friend or family member considering moving to the area? The NPS question for the business survey was: On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is very likely, 5 in neutral and 0 is very unlikely, based on your companies experiences, how likely would you recommend the City of El Segundo to a business associate or colleague? Respondents are grouped as follows: ■ Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep engaging and refer others, fueling possible growth. • Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to alternative offerings. • Detractors (score 0-6) are unhappy customers who can damage your brand and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth. Subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters yields the Net Promoter Score, which can range from a low of-100 (if every customer is a Detractor)to a high of 100 (if every customer is a Promoter). Not at all likely Neutral Extremely likely 1 . • 1 Detractor Promoter % PROMOTERS - % DETRACTORS = NPS (NET PROMOTER SCORE) Purpose and Obiectives for the Residential Survev This study was conducted primarily to assess customer satisfaction with City of El Segundo's public services. The study was designed to survey City of El Segundo's residents. Specific objectives included the following: • Assess customer satisfaction with multiple attributes. • Measure City of El Segundo's image and general reputation. • Record customer opinions as to how City of El Segundo can serve them better. • Assess the extent of customer loyalty based on the Net Promoter process. • Provide a framework to build an integrated Customer Satisfaction. Results and Key Findings in the Residential Survey The City's residential Net Promoter Score was 59%. Promoters 70% - Detractors 11%=NPS of 59%. A Net Promoter Score of 59% is very respectable given that secondary research suggests cities using NPS will score in the range of 23%to 28%. 227 The City of El Segundo will develop plans to address the key areas of concerns as identified in the survey by Residents, also referred to as Detractors (those giving scores of 6 or less). The comments of the individual Detractors and Passives provide specific guidance. In addition to asking the NPS question, the survey also asked more specific questions soliciting resident perceptions on particular areas of City operations: Police, Fire, Recreation& Parks, Library services, City infrastructure, Utility Billing, and City Council. These questions were scored on a response scale of. Very Dissatisfied(1), Dissatisfied (2),Neutral (3), Satisfied (4) or Very Satisfied(5). The following areas are viewed as modest strengths by the majority of Residents: (4.00 to 4.33) • Availability &Responsiveness of Police Department • Resources and services provided by the Public Library • Quality of Recreation and Parks Program offered • Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of Fire & Paramedic services • Maintenance and upkeep of Recreation and Parks facilities Ideally we would like these scores to rise to above 4.33, which would most likely occur if some of the NPS issues with individual Residents were addressed. There are three areas which represent an Issue & Opportunity due to their mean scores coming in below 4.00: • Condition of City Infrastructure: streets, sidewalks and public facilities • Responsiveness and overall vision of City Council • Water and Sewer Billing Department Customer Service (complaint handling & responsiveness) Detractors were most concerned with effective use of money, improvement of infrastructure, and the desire among some to slow down growth. Purvose and Obiectives for the Business Survev This study was conducted primarily to assess customer satisfaction with the City of El Segundo's products and services. The study was designed to survey a cross section of City of El Segundo's customers; however, concentrating on key or target accounts. This survey and its measures are benchmarked to the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Specific objectives included the following: • Assess customer satisfaction with multiple attributes. • Measure City of El Segundo's image and general reputation. • Assess the distinctive competence of City of El Segundo. • Record customer opinions as to how City of El Segundo can serve them better. • Assess the extent of customer loyalty. • Provide a framework to build an integrated Customer Satisfaction and Value Measurement System. Results and Key Findings in the Residential Survey The following areas are viewed as modest strengths by the majority of businesses: (4.00 to 4.33) 228 services • Availability & Responsiveness of Police Department Ideally, we would like these scores to rise to above 4.33, which would most likely occur if some of the NPS issues with individual businesses were addressed. There are three areas which represent an Issue & Opportunity due to their mean scores coming in below 4.00: • Business Development and Attraction policies • Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of working with the Planning and Building Safety Department for plan checks, permits or inspection services • City Zoning Policies The primary issue among Detractors is their perception that the City is not business-friendly in many of their transactions/experiences. The term Business-Friendly can easily become a catch-all phrase. The real issue for the city is to get to the root causes of individual concerns raised among the Detractors and, to a lesser extent,the Passives. The City executive team will develop a plan to address the areas in the residential and business surveys that have a mean score below 4.0 and are considered NPS detractors or areas of"issues and opportunities". The executive staff will present the plan of action to the City Council at a subsequent Council meeting and incorporate these actions into the FY 2017-18 strategic work plan. 229 r.

Key Findings Methodology Web surveys were conducted with Residents within the City of El Segundo. Respondents were selected from the master survey list supplied by City of El Segundo. A final sample of customers was obtained. We sent 15040 invitations, 121 were undeliverable for a total of 919 sent out. We had a 22% response rate or 202 total responses. Mail surveys were also sent out from the City of El Segundo offices. A total of 142 residents responded via mail. A total of 344 residents responded to some portion of the survey. There were 335 responses to the Net Promoter Score question. Results As we have discussed in the past, Net Promoter Score is a tool to measure customer loyalty and the predictive indicators for customer defection. In case study after case study, companies with higher NPS scores generally are more profitable than their competition. The City of El Segundo's NPS score is 59%. This is a respectable score given the fact that secondary research indicates scores are typically lower for public institutions. When compared with the private sector the score is much lower than the best companies who range between 60 and 75%. Targeted action plans should also be developed for select companies who make up the Detractor Residents. The detailed responses will be provided as part of this report in a separate file.

Page 8 Y City OEl �� ualit Solutions Inc Building Foundations for Excellence Measuring your Net Promoter Score TM Promoters are your customers who are so enthusiastic about your company or brand that they buy more than the average customer and delight in referring your business to their friends, peers, and colleagues. These customers give you a rating of 9 or 10. Customers who give you a rating of 7 or 8 are Passive customers. They may become Promoters if you improve your product, service or overall customer experience, but for now they do not factor into the Net Promoter Score. Detractors feel mistreated, abused, and hurt. Their experience is going to drive them to cut back what they purchase from you and switch to your competition. They are also not shy about sharing with others their plight and warning current and potential customers to stay away from your company. Detractors are customers who give ratings of 6 or lower. \ Your Net Promoter Score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from Promoters to get an overall NPS as number as shown below: % of Promoters-% of Detractors = Net Promoter Score (NPS) Example: Promoters =56% Detractors Promoters Passives = 36% 0 1 2 3 4 6 6 9 10 Detractors = 8% Not at all Neutral Extremely Net Promoter Score: 56% -8% =48% likely likely NPS Methodology We begin with the ultimate question. "How likely would you be to recommend this company to a friend or colleague?" Respondents are asked to respond using a 0 to 10 scale where 5 is neutral. An effective Net Promoter process is not simply based on asking customers a single question and ending the survey. It is important to understand why each respondent gave you the score they did. Understanding what needs to be improved (or specific actions taken)to raise your score to a 9 or 10 gives you actionable information which can be targeted for corrective action or process improvement. Understanding why a customer gave you a 9 or 10 helps you to better understand your core competencies. Our qualitative analysis of follow-up comments from Promoter, Passives, and Detractors is the key to increasing customer loyalty and profitable growth.

As a homeowner,I've easily and efficiently obtained permits and dog licenses and I've worked with police and fire on CERT training and also their awareness of athlete's Road ID wrist bands(to give first responders information when the athlete can't).Everyone has been wonderful.Now add to that the ease of getting my business license every year and the fact that I can work from home because I don't have clients coming to my house.This is the very best place to live and work. Business development and attraction,i.e.,new businesses like TopGolf El Segundo are a definite must in order to step forward! I think the City needs to focus on all of these categories equally.The City's attention to each of them has given the City a good reputation. It seems if your a business,it's carte blanche.If you're a resident,I feel we are secondary commodities. Keep it up. Making sure that my name is spelled correctly on things mailed to me.The most recent thing I got from the city was addressed to Jeremy Branson,not Jeremy Brunson.I don't understand how that could have changed.My business license renewal letters are addressed to the correct person. Not in a position to answer.

Response to Question On the building and safety side,very satisfied.Some of the architects we work with want a more cooperative Planning Department to help push projects along and cut through red tape. Online business license renewal. Online business renewal process. Parking problem on north side(parking permits are not the answers). Planning/Zoning Policies.El Segundo seems to be growing extremely fast.I hope that they are considering the traffic ramifications of all of the new development. Planning:so people don't end up with giant box-like monoliths being built next door blocking the southern sky making solar not possible.Also,we should change our name to El Denudo the way all the trees are being removed.By the way,we do have the money to re-auger the holes where the tiny trees were planted on Richmond and plant perhaps much larger shade trees like Chinese Elm-it's such a disaster what happened up there. Smokey Hollow parking is really a problem. Must find a way to resolve this and promote upgrading older existing buildings. Still too new to the area to judge. The business renewal process should be easier and available to renew online. The Lakes,put it to a vote with the people.If we have a opportunity to make money,then let's do it.Fix it up like a real business or club. The new pools and new places for our athletes to practice. The traffic that has now taken over Grand Blvd West of Sepulveda.Every person from Northrup is now cutting through on Main Street to get to the 105.

We haven't needed any services except Business License Renewal Process,but have heard they are fantastic! We've not yet experienced a couple of the items listed above,so we marked Neutral. By hiring permanent building and safety personnel,contractors can build a relationship with the staff which makes things work much more productively. Continuing their excellent level of service. Create a vision plan and update general plan for the City.Include large corporations in updating infrastructure of the city. Turn El Segundo into a sustainable city with bike paths and beach access.Create pedestrian bridges over PCH and connect west and east. Deregulation. Exploring into the old Zoning policies and revising the policies that do not represent today's uses and incentives. I don't know.For the answers where I put neutral,I have never worked with those services. I know more about the city counsel and officials in the other cities I do business with(Manhattan Beach&P.V.E.)then I do with the city where my physical business is located.Big businesses can sometimes"squeeze"out the little guy. If there is a small business counsel or lunches or something,I am unaware.For example,I currently have questions about different ways to grow our business at our facility on Alaska Ave.,but have no idea where to start.

(Fiscal Impact: N/A) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Direct staff whether the 2022 General Municipal Election and subsequent City elections should be held in either March or November; 2) Adopt an ordinance to take effect immediately establishing the election date for the General Municipal Election; 3) Adopt a revised resolution calling the April 10, 2018 Election; and/or 4) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1) Proposed Ordinance 2) Proposed Revised Resolution Calling Election 3) Senate Bill 568 FISCAL IMPACT: Included in adopted Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Budget Amount Budgeted: $94,700 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): 001-400-1302-various STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal: El Segundo's engagement with the community ensures excellence Objective: The City is transparent regarding services and performance ORIGINATED BY: Mona Shilling, Deputy City Clerk Il APPROVED BY: Tracy Weaver, City Clerk . REVIEWED BY: City Attorney's Office REVIEWED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On September 1, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill No. 415 (Hueso) regarding consolidation of municipal elections with statewide elections. Commencing January 1, 2018, SB 415 requires certain political subdivisions, as defined, to hold an election on a statewide election 231 date no later than November 8, 2022. Under SB 415, those political subdivisions that hold their general municipal elections on a non-statewide general election date may continue to do so between now and 2022, provided they adopt a plan to consolidate, and the plan is adopted by January 1, 2018. In response to SB 415, on September 5, 2017, the City Council considered when to schedule the City's upcoming General Municipal Elections. At the time of the meeting, the City Council had two options: either June or November of even-numbered years, because those were the "statewide general elections" provided for in state law. The City Clerk and staff recommended November for various reasons, one of them being pending legislation to move the June statewide election to a different month of even-numbered years. However at the meeting, the City Council introduced an ordinance establishing the General Municipal Election in June starting in 2022. Separately, the Governor signed SB 568 (Lara) into law on September 27, 2017. SB 568 takes effect in 2019. SB 568 (attached) changes the dates of the statewide general election. Starting in 2019, those will be the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March in each-even numbered year or the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in each even-numbered year. Because the legislation eliminates June as a statewide election date starting in 2019, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance establishing either March or November in even-numbered years as the City's General Municipal Election, starting in 2022. The Council has the option of making the change effective in the 2020 election, but in light of past Council discussions, and because such a change would impact the terms of three of the current City Council members, staff have drafted the proposed ordinance so that the change to the election date would occur starting in 2022. Because state law allows ordinances relating to an election to take effect immediately, if adopted, the proposed ordinance would take effect immediately (Gov. Code § 36937). Lastly, on December 5, 2017, the City Council adopted three resolutions which called for the General Municipal Election for two (2) Council Members seats to be held April 10, 2018. The resolution calling the election listed the term of the Council members as ending in June 2022, which was consistent with the ordinance previously adopted by Council. However, in light of SB 568, staff is recommending that the City Council adopted a revised resolution which will set the term as either ending in,March or November 2022. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council (1) adopt an ordinance to take effect immediately establishing the date of the City's General Municipal Election as either March or November starting in 2022 and (2) adopt a revised resolution calling the General Municipal Election to be held April 10, 2018. 232 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE DATE OF THE CITY'S GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO THE FIRST TUESDAY AFTER THE FIRST MONDAY IN OF EVEN- NUMBERED YEARS BEGINNING IN 2022; AMENDING TITLE 1 OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE; REQUESTING CONSOLIDATION WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY PURSUANT TO ELECTIONS CODE SECTION 10403; AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 1557. The City Council of the City of EI Segundo does ordain as follows: SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. The general municipal elections for the City of EI Segundo are currently held the second Tuesday of April in each even-numbered year; B. Government Code § 14052 prohibits a city from holding an election other than on a statewide election date, if holding an election on a non-concurrent date has previously resulted in voter turnout for a regularly scheduled election in that city, being at least 25% less than the average voter turnout within the city for the previous four statewide general elections; C. The City did not meet the qualifying criteria to continue to conduct stand- alone elections and is legally required to move its elections to the date of the statewide general election; D. On September 27, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 568 (Lara) into law; starting in 2019, statewide election dates will be in March and November in each even-numbered year; E. The City desires to change its municipal election to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in in even-numbered years starting in 2022, an established election date listed in Elections Code § 1000 and the date of the statewide general election; F. In order to accomplish the change in election date, the term of City Council Members elected in April 2018, who would otherwise be up for election in April 2022, would instead expire in 2022. SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. Adoption of the proposed Ordinance is statutorily exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq.), because the proposed Ordinance would amend the EI Segundo Municipal Code as far as timing of the City's election, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. 233 SECTION 3: ESMC Title 1 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter 4A (Elections), is amended as follows: Chapter 4A: ELECTIONS. Section 1-4A-1: Beginning in 2022, general municipal elections for the election of Council members, the City Clerk and the City Treasurer, and for such purposes as the City Council may prescribe, will be held in the City on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in in each even-numbered year. SECTION 4: Adjustment of Terms of Office. In accordance with Elections Code §§ 1301 and 10403.5(d), due to the change of election date, the terms of office of those members of the City Council elected in April 2018, whose terms would previously have expired in April 2022, will instead expire at the Council meeting after receipt of the certification of the results of the 2022 General Municipal Election and upon administration of oaths of office. SECTION 5: Consolidated Election. Pursuant to Elections Code § 1301, the City Council requests the County of Los Angeles approve consolidation of the City's City Council election with the statewide general election conducted by the County in of each even-numbered year. SECTION 6: Notice to Voters. Pursuant to Elections Code § 10403.5, within 30 days after this Ordinance becomes effective, the City Clerk must cause a notice to be mailed to all registered voters of the City of EI Segundo (pursuant to the last report of registration by the County Clerk to the Secretary of State) informing the voters of the change in the election date. The notice must also inform the voters that as a result in the change in election date, elected city officeholders' terms in office will be changed. SECTION 7: Date of the First City Council Election in . If this Ordinance becomes effective, the first City Council election to be held in will be 2022. SECTION 8: Request to the County. The City Clerk is directed to forward, without delay, a certified copy of this Ordinance to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the County Election Department. SECTION 9: Ordinance No. 1557, adopted by the City Council on October 3, 2017, is hereby repealed. SECTION 10: 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. 2 234 SECTION 11: Severability. If any part of this ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. SECTION 12: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of EI Segundo's book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within 15 days after the passage and adoption of this ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.
