Agenda Item #4)
City Council —
Below is Raytheon's response to the following two questions:
1. Is Raytheon willing to enter into a possible separate "shared park use agreement?"
2. Is Raytheon willing to pay upfront for off-site traffic mitigation improvements?
In addition, attached is a copy of this project's timeline since 2010.
Staff is prepared to provide a quick overview of this project's history, current status, public benefits, and potential
separate "shared park use agreement" at tonight's City Council meeting. Scott Pozza from Raytheon will also be
attendance to answer questions.
Please advise if any questions and/or comments in the interim.
Thanks,
Scott Mitnick
City Manager

Subject: Raytheon's Response to Your Questions re ES South Campus Specific Plan Development Agreement
Scott M.,
Thanks again for the call on Friday, August 30th, and the subsequent conversations with respect to Development
Agreement No. DA 11-02 and the EI Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. As I have mentioned to everyone, this is a key
component of Raytheon's overall 5 year plan and the timing is absolutely critical to get this approved at this time. With
this goal in mind, I have given some thought on how we could make the existing private Raytheon park more accessible
in the interim before any Phase 3 development occurs which is when the final resolution of permanent future park
would have to occur.
Since Raytheon has had success with allowing EI Segundo Little League to use of our fields, my thought is to open the
park up to more organized events and activities. This could be sports (baseball, softball, lacrosse, tennis, soccer,
horseshoe tournaments, etc.), adult sports leagues, group socials or picnics, Arts & Craft Fairs, etc. Maybe even using a
parking lot for a car show or something like that. Raytheon already closes off parking lots to help with parking needed
for EI Segundo High School events and EI Segundo Fire Department training activities.
There would have to be some controls and some that initially come to mind are:
■ Requests must be made in writing and in advance to be approved by Raytheon
• Some form of documentation would have to be signed to address liability (similar to the Little League use)
• Access for these events/activities would be limited to after normal work hours on weekdays and on weekends
■ Scheduled Raytheon uses would have priority
• May have to limit number of concurrent activities/events or number of activities/events
per day from a security (federal government compliance) perspective
My thoughts are that allowing these types of uses would be a public benefit to the community and also will continue to
strengthen Raytheon's community support. I think that any organized event will be considered but we can't have
individuals randomly coming onto the property to use the park unless they are part of an approved use. We are a federal
government contractor and, as such, have some legal limitations that we have to remain in compliance with.
Having shared all this, there are a lot of activities that Raytheon would be able to support with these basic guidelines
and I am personally willing to assign a single point -of -contact at Raytheon to support this and help coordinate within
Raytheon and with the City's Recreation and Park staff. Although we do not really have a park manager, per se, I would
hope that we could work with your Recreation and Park Department to help initially in setting up fields correctly,
scheduling, etc. As this matures, it would be mutually beneficial to be able to share resources like staff time and,
depending upon the level of activity, potentially negotiate some future mutually agreed upon cost sharing agreement, if
needed for increased repair and enhanced recurring maintenance.
think this would be a great opportunity for us to work together and Raytheon's strong commitment to the City of EI
Segundo. Raytheon is also committed to make this happen quickly.
You also asked about pre -paying the offsite traffic mitigation costs, estimated between $3M and $41VI spread over
multiple off-site intersections with respect to future impacts. Even though the developer has that obligation, the timing
and amount is triggered by the actual amount of development and additional trips generated by that specific
development at a future date. In other words, these costs are dependent upon other events happening in the
future. As a federal government defense contractor, pre -paying these future costs would not be allowable and would
not pass a government accounting audit since the basis for the costs has not occurred. This is different from the $41VI
obligation we agreed to pay because it was not tied to any specific event or trigger, and in fact had a timing schedule of
payments specifically articulated in the Development Agreement.
Thank you for the opportunity to partner with the City on this exciting endeavor. I am committed to working with you
going forward as determined by City Council.
