CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2024 AGENDA ITEM:
________
ORIGINATING DEP: Administration CITY MANAGER:________
PREPARED BY: Devin Hart, Management Analyst
Robert Greenlaw, CIP Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Chapter 4-4 of the Avalon Municipal Code Regarding Curb Markings and Adoption of Exemption Findings Under the California Environmental Quality Act
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): Adopt an ordinance of the City of Avalon amending Chapter 4-4 to the Avalon Municipal Code regarding curb markings and adoption of exemption findings underthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

REPORT SUMMARY: This ordinance was introduced, and all further readers were waived on July 2, 2024.

City Staff are in the process of reviewing the established loading and unloading zones for passengers and commercial goods. Per the authority established in Section 4-4.1101 of the Avalon Municipal Code (AMC), the City Manager, acting as the Traffic Engineer, may determine commercial loading zones and passengers zones at any place in the “business district” and elsewhere in Avalon in front of any location used for the purpose of public assembly.

The AMC further defines the color of curb paint used to designate each type of zone as well as the timeframe that parking limitations are enforceable. As currently established, yellow and white curbs become unrestricted from 6 p.m. to 7 am. daily. The transition of the zones from restricted to unrestricted has, at times, created confusion for users.

To eliminate confusion, City Staff propose amending the ordinance to extend the parking limitations in designated commercial and passenger loading/unloading zones (white and yellow curbs) to 24 hours. Additionally, the proposed changes eliminate exceptions to certain regulations that exempted freight carriers from various restrictions. Such restrictions would apply to all vehicles.

City Staff believe the change in the AMC will allow for more consistent enforcement and less congestion in the designated unloading/loading areas.

As adoption of the ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and because the adoption of the ordinance will no cause a change in any of the physical conditions within the area effected by the ordinance, the adoption of the ordinance is not subject to CEQA.

CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Avalon Municipal Code will not be amended.FOLLOW UP ACTION: Adoption of the Ordinance at the next regular City Council meeting.

ADVERTISING, NOTICE AND PUBLIC CONTACT: This item was properly listed on the posted agenda pursuant to the Brown Act.

ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance.

ORDINANCE NO.

CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2024 AGENDA ITEM: L.I
ORIGINATING DEP: Fire CITY MANAGER: t(
PREPARED BY: Michael Alegria, Fire Chief
Aliana Gonzales, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Request for Proposals for Local Hazard Mitigation Plan RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): Authorize the City Manager or his designee to solicit a request for proposals for consultants to create an updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) through a fully funded Hazard Mitigation Grant Program established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

REPORT SUMMARY: The City of Avalon applied for and was awarded Hazard Mitigation GrantProgram Funds through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This award offers funding for both operational and administrative resources and will provide funding to update the City of Avalon’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) as required by the FEMA.

The City’s LHMP has not been updated since 2004.

The LHMP is a representation of Avalon’s commitment to reduce risks from natural and man made hazards and serve as a guideline for decision makers as they commit resources to reducing the effects of these hazards. FEMA requires a written LHMP for federal pre-disaster and post-disaster grant programs.

The City of Avalon Fire Department will be lead agency in the coordination of updating the LHMP.The current LHMP has set annexes to address issues, goals, objectives, capabilities, assets and mitigation measures for various agencies. The RFP will provide for experienced consultants to assist with the update of the LHMP. During the LHMP update process, the consultant shall facilitate a process for participating agencies to update specific annexes as well as the overall LHMP. The consultant shall act as the project manager, primary investigator and primary author of the LHMP and will be required to report to FEMA, QES and the LHMP Planning Team as necessary throughout the term of the contract.

A tentative RFP timeline is as follows:

RFP Released August 1, 2024RFP Closing Date August 30, 2024 ay 12pm Proposals Reviewed by City Staff August 31 -September 6, 2024Presentations to City Council September 17, 2024 GOAL ALIGNMENT: Public safety.

City of Avulon Local Hazard 1\’liligation Plan (I,JIMP) November 4, 2004
Purpose / Vision / Vahws
Purpose of I I1MPThe ( i1y of AVOIOJI has developed tins I ,OCaI Ilazard Mitination Plan (LJIMP) to create a sa(ër corumimity. I he Avalon LI IMP is the representation of Avalon s commitment to reduce risks L)m natural and other hazards, and serves as a guide fir decision—makers as they commit resources to reducing the effects of natural and other hazards. The Avalon .1 IMP serves as a basis (hr State OLS to provide technical assistance and to prioritize project funding. (Sec IFR §201 .6.)
While the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (“DMA 2000”) requires that local communities address only natural hazards, the Federal kmcrgcncy Management Agency (J?J?lfA) recommends that local comprehensive mitigation plans address man—made and technological hazards to the extent possible. lowards that goal, Avalon has addressed an expansive set of hazards.
lor disasters declared aficr November 1, 2004, Avalon must have an I }IMP approvcd pursuant to §201.6 in order to receive FEMA Pie—Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Project grants or to receive post—disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (I-IMGP) project funding. The 13-IMP is written to meet the statutory requirements of DMA 2000 (P.1,. 106.390), enacted October 30. 2000 arid 44 CFR Part 201 Mitigation Planning, Interim l’i nal R tile, pub) islied cbruary 26, 2002.Support of Broader Cit Vision The LI IMP supports [he broader vision and values of [he City of Avalon, reflected in \valon Vision 2020, adopted August 1 ). 2003. by the City of Avalon Planning Commission and the Avalon City Council:

.HazOl’d Definition
A wildfire is an uncontrolled lire spreading through vegetative fuels, posing danger and destruction to property. Wildlires can occur in undeveloped areas and spread to urban areas where structures and other human dcvelopnicnt are more concentrated.

Whjle some wildIircs start by natural causes, humans cause four out of every five wildtires. Wildfiius started by humans are usually the restilt of debris burns, arson, orcarelessness. As a uctural hazard, a wildfire is oPen the direct result ola lightning strike that may destroy l)erso1al property 011(1 public land areas, especially on state and national forest lands. The predominate dangers from wildfircs arc:
• the destruction of timber, property, wikllilb; and
• injury or loss of life to l)eOPle living in the affected area or using the area for recreational facilities.

Histoiy
Catalina Island has a history of wildfire incidents occurring outside of the city limits of Avalon. Two relatively recent events include:

A .lanuary 2003 wildfire (“The Airport Fire”) that was started when an electrical line snapped in 0 fierce windstorm. The wildfire burned for two days, A July 1999, 320—acre wildfire (“The Goat Ilarbot’ Fire”). ‘l’his wildfire was expensive in terms of the equipment and human pow’er used to contain and control it. Although structures and human lives were not threatened, oak and ironwood gloves and countless other shrubs that offt.r wildlife food and shelter were lost. Ironwoods are a particular concern due to their very limited range.These trees are found prilnan ly on northeast facing slopes ott Catalina Island and nowhere else in the world.

It is difficult to discuss the natural hazard of wildfire iii and neat’ the City of Avalon without considering structural fires as well, because of the density of structures within the City. II’ any kind of fire reaches structures within the City, it is likely to spread to adjacent structures and rapidly cause catastrophic damage.

Although “noi’inally’’ Avalon is nol directly affected by wildfire, there have been a few rare instances of wildfire approaching the City and one instance of a devastating strueluml fire iii the City. On November 29. 1915, a fire destroyed must of Avalon, which included nine hotels. Almost all of Avalon’s most impressive and historic structures were destroyed iii the blaze, including the Hotel Meiropole and time private Pilgrim Chib.

Wildfires pose a risk on Catalina Island, but historically the risk has been minimal to the City of Avalon. I Jowever, the Los i\iigeles County Fire Department recently concluded:

Due to recent fire behavior observed during the most recent brush tires on the mainland, ongoing drought conditions on Cata himi, along with 30— plus—year—old fnels throughout the is]and, there is a strong potential for a ‘ind or fire behavior driven fire that could threaten the City of Avalon.

In terms of probability, structure fires are the greatest fire threat to the safety of the people of Avalon The small area of dense population on the island has the potential for fire to spread very rapidly with potential for massive loss of’ life and property damage.

Sonic of the houses positioned in the hills surrounding the City have the potential to lead to a wildfire or he consumed by one.
• Effects of lire on people and housing. Most of the wild tires on Catalina Island have been in rural areas, and the effects on people and housing have been minimal. The City of Avalon has never lost a substantial amount of structures to wildfire. The large events of structure losses have been because oistructurally— originated fires.
o Effects on conuncrejal and industrial structures. Commercial imd industrial structures are affected in a very similar way to the residential housing as they ale

so close together. In the instance of the Edison plant and the wastewaler treatment plaiit, they are separated by a considerable distanee from any groups of other commercial and residential slrnet.iwes.

Effects oii infrastructure. Past wildiires have hart minimal impact on infrastructure as they often occur out of range of the population center, However, a key vulnerability is the fiber cable for communications which is strung in the air for approximately 3 miles from Canon Hotel to a microwave tower atop amountain on the island. It is estimated that if the tlbei burns, Avalon will lose 75% of its commuuications capability with the mainland.

Risk assessment conclusion. Although a wildfire could conceivably spread to the City of Avalon (and as the Los Angeles County Fire l)epartmeiit has pointed out, (lie conditions are such that the risk is higher than normal), the natural resistance of the off shore winds blowing across the City and towards the inland reaches of the island make it highly unlikely that a wildfire would reach the City’s borders. However, the Island Conservancy has recently reviewed fire history on the island and, afler removing overlapping records, counted 224 total ignitions, of which 107 were in the Avalon/Pebbly Bench area.

Due to the close proximity of the land mass of the island to a source of water and to airports on the mainland as well, lire drops can be accomplished relatively easily, pending availability of ec}uipmnent. 1Iowcvci, due to the close proximity of buildings in the City, if fire response is delayed clue to a water issue, the number of losses could be devastating to the City.

A key risk fbi tIme City of Avalon is loss of the vast majority of its coinmnunicatiomms capability with the mainland. This is due to the fact that the fiber cable from Canyon Hotel to the microwave tower is a “single-point—of-Ihilure” in lie communications infrastructure,
Eclatioiishi1) to Other hazards — Cascading Effects
Flooding an(l erosion. Major wildfires can completely destroy brush and trees which hold the mountainous ground of the island together. If heavy rains follow a major flue, flash floods, heavy erosion, landslides, rockslides, and mnuclflows can occur.

Sedimentation and flooding could have devastating effects on both the City of Avalon and, if the area around Thompson Reservoir were to burn, on the primary freshwater source for tIme town.

Plans and Programs
To achieve fire protection fbi all residents, thc City of Avaloii works closely with the County of Los Angeles Fire Department to create and enforce safiiy standards as they review bui cling plans and conduct building inspections. /\dditionnl progranis that are implemented to ensure compliance with establisher! fire standards include:

The Los Angeles County Fire Department provides anmial maintenance of lirebreaks surrounding the City olAvalon. Maintenance occurs for one week every June, utilizing one bulldozer, one grader, and one “hand crew.” The provision of uniform lire improvement standards for various land uses.

Continued updating of the Fire Protection Master Plan.

The City has a Brush Clearance Program. The Fire Department is adding equipment and stafL and conducts regular inspections. The City has a project underway to impmve the pumpmg system for water for fire suppression. There is an $800,000 upgrade uncterway to increase the size of one reservoir. In addition, there have been upgrades to the building code to require sprinklers in residential and commercial applications.The Catalina Island Conservancy is working on a Fire and Fuel Management Plan. Phase One of the Plan considers the whole island. Avalon is in one of the fire management zones.

Southern Califbrnia Ldison (5CR) conducts annual:
• circuit patrols;
o overhead / underground inspections;
weed abatement; and
o tree trimming.
in addition, SQL has a fire extinguisher plan and works with the Fire Department to enforce code.

i1aard: Floodingr Severity: Medinmto.Low f Probability: Medinin Hazard Definition
A flood is defined as an overflowing of water onto an area of land that is normally dry.

Floods generally occur from natural causes, usually weather—related, such as a sudden 5110W mc]t, often in conjunction with a wet or rainy spring or with sudden and very heavy rainfalls. Floods can, however, result from human causes as a dam impoundment bursting.For floodplain management pmposcs, the following dJSCIISSi(m describes the Federal lmergency Management Agency (FEMA) definition of”l 00-year floocL” The term “100-year flood’ is misleading. It is not a flood that will occur once ever)’ 100 years.

Rallier, it is the flood elevation that has a 1 percent chance of being equaled or exceeded each year. Thus, a 100—year flood could occur more than once in a relatively short period of time. The 100—year flood, which is the standard used by most federal and state agencies, is used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as the standard for floodplain management and to determine the need for flood insurance. j\ structure located within a special flood hazard area shown on a map has a 26 percent chance of suffering flood damage during the term ola 30—year mortgage.

History
A large Portion of the developed area of Avalon is located within the Avalon Canyon floodplain, where soil has moderately low infiltration rates and moderately high runoff rates. During the rainy season bekveen Dcccmbcr and March, drainage flows to the valley floor in the golf course and is then directed through swales into a channel that runs along the eastern side of Avalon Canon. In order to protect the quality of water in Avalon l3ay, the City directs drainage runoff from all the mains in the City via gravity flow to the wastewater treatment facility.

Development tends to increase runoff when the area of paved surfaces is increased, as the storm water is unable to seep into the soil. fhie City requires developers to mitigate flood effects to the standards established by FEIvIA in its study of flooding in the Avnlon vicinity, With respect to proposed development, the City has conducted anEnvironmental Impact Report (EIR) and established flood drain standards and requirements to mitigate the impact.

Risk Assessment
Floods that affect the City of Avalon can be attributed to three different types of storm events, namely:
o A general winter storm that brings high-intensity rainfall to already saturated soil, • A tropical storm out of the Pacific Ocean, and
• Failure of a major water system
Although the City of Avalon has experienced periods of drought, the City can experience substantial rainfall. The soil in the City is generally not able to effectively absorb waterquickly, nor is it able to absorb a large volume of water at one time and therefore depends OH inaninadc infrastructure to pievent flooding.

When the City of Avalon does experience heav rain, or rain over a period of days or weeks, flooding is ofcleuinitc concern. This kind of event can occur even during a drought. A heavy iaiii can occur, and create flash floods, without relieving the overall drought conditions.

Storms with high volumes of precipitation in a short period of time have occurred in the City causing floods, contaminated drinking water, disrupted electrical service, and damaged homes and businesses.

Effects on people and housing. The houses in the City ofAvalon are essentially in a canyon (Avalon Canyon). Because the canyon is a direct path for water

Page 35 ends

City of Avalon Local hazard Mitigation Plan (LUMP)
November 4, 2004
runoff, the City is susceptible to flooding if the drainage system liiils. ‘there are several plateaus that could experience particularly significant problems, including the one containing the gull course arid the one containing houses and shops closest to the waterfront.

Effects on commercial and iiidnstrial structures. J)epending oii the geogiapluc area involved and he ecutiolnic and demographic characteristics of the area, the effects on imidusir and cornmrce may be significant. For example, the waterfront is in an area where massive flood water will pass through if the infrastructure fails, and this is where the majority of businesses are located. • Effects on infrastructure.

A slow—rising flood situation will progress through a
series ofstages, beginning with minor raimiflull and evolving to a major event such as sul)sumtial flooding. Once flooding begins, personnel will be iieeclcd to assist in rescuing persons trapped by flood waters, securing utilities, condoning off 1100(1areas, and controlling traffic. These actions may overtax local agencies, and additional l)ersomlel and resources may be required. It is anticipated that existing mutual aid resources would be used as necessary to augment local resources.

Many essential public and .1unsi—piiblic lacilities and hazardous materials sites are located within the 100- or 500—year flood zones of the City of Avalon, including the Edison Plant.

Risk assessment conclusion: Flooding due to heavy precipitation or dam failure is a potential hazard in the City ofAvalon, with the resultant Possibilities for damage to I)roperly and loss of life. Severe flooding can be particularly costly. In a relative sense, flooding due to precipitation does not present time degree of danger posed by other hazards such as fire. On the other hand, if there is flooding due to dam thiltu’e and high precipitation, the danger could be cataclysmic.

Relationship to Other Hazards Cascading Effects
Floods can cause many cascading effects. Fire can break out as a result of dysfunctional electrical equipment. I laz,ardons materials can also get into lloodways, causing health concerns and polluted water supplies. In many instances rluring a flood, the drinking water supply vill be contaminated, With the non—redundant communications facilities in the City, it may he very difficult to get the message to all of the City’s residents, In addition, land that has been stripped of foliage and trees (Inc to fine or human activity will experience serious erosion. Excessive precipitation can inundate soil in slopes causing imidslidcs, landslides, and im particular iii Avalon, rockslidcs. ‘iliese events can destroy homes, block highways, and destroy power lines. Due to the niountainous terrain around the City of Avalon, roadways are very susceptible to flooding, blockage, and destruction of access routes to certain areas. The roads to Pebbly Reach and

Hamilton Cove have experienced rcpcated rockslidcs over the years, and are prime macli dates for mitigation efforts.
the City of Avalon depends on several dams and reservoirs on (he island. Excessive rainfall can stress these Systems to the point of failure, causing SCI’iOtIS damage to property and possible toss ol life, Dam Failure is discussed in a separate section of this I MMP.

Plans and I>rograms
Much effort has been put into precluding flood damage by the l)epartincnl of Flood Control. Storm chains are in place, and there is a Storm drain improvement program underway. Flood control channels exist behind the golf course and behind the Edison plant (“Roaring Canyon Flood Channel”). Flood Control work in Roaring Canyon Flood Channel has included channel clearing and a concrete liner.

Edison conducts annual dam safety inspections.

In addition, the County Department of Building and Safety and the County Fite T)epartmcnt enforce codes and standards as they review building l)laIls and conduct building inspections.

Hazard: Earthquakes
Severity Hi Ii - obabiht Low
—
Hazard Definition
An earthquake is a sudden, rapid shaking of the ground caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the Earth’s suribce. For hundi’eds of millions of years, the forces of plate tectonics have shaped the Earth as the huge plates that form the Earth’s surface move slowly over, under, and past each other. Sometimes the movement is gradual. At other times, the plates are locked together, unable to release the accumulating energy.

When the accumulated energy grows strong enough, the plates break lice caushig the ground to shake. Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the plates meet; however, some earthquakes occur in the middle of plates.

The major form of direct damage from most earthquakes is damage to construction.

Bridges are particularly vulnerable to collapse, and dam failure may generate major downstream flooding. Buildings vary in susceptibility, dependent upon construction and the types ofsoils on which they are built. Earl hquakes destroy powet’ and telephone lines; gas, sewer, or water mains; which, in turn, may set, off fires and/or hinder firelighting or rescue efforts.The hazard of earthquakes varies from place to place, dependent upon the regional and local geology. Ground shaking may occur in areas 65 miles or more from the epicenter (the point on the ground surface above the li,cus).

Ground shaking can change the mechanical properties of some fine gunned, saturated soils, whereupon they liqlwJj7 and act as a fluid (liquefaction).

Where earthquakes have struck before, they will strike again, Earthquakes strike suddenly, without warning. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and at any time of the day or night.

Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury.

Most earthquake-related injuries result from collapsing walls, flying glass, mid falling objects as a result of the ground shaking, or people trying to move more than a few tcl during the shaking. Mitch of’ the damage iii earthquakes is predictable and preventable.

Risk Assessment
While the potential for an earthquake that impacts the City of A valon cannot be ignored, the hazard of earthquake is lower in terms of risk than many other hazards.

Fffects oji people arni housing. In any earthquake, the primary consideration is saving lives. ‘fime and effort must also be dedicated to providing for mentalhealth by reuniting kmilies, providing shelter to displaced persons, and restoring basic needs and services. Major etThrts will be required to remove debris and clear roadways, demolish unsafe structures, assist in reestablishing public services and utilities, and provide continuing care and temporary housing for affected citizens.
• Effects on coutinercial and industrial structures. After any earthquake, individuals are likely to lose wages due to the iiiability of businesses to function because of damaged goods and/or facilities. With business losses, the City of Avalon will lose revenue. Economic recovery Iron) even a minor earthquake will be critical to the communities involved.
• Effects on infrastructure. The damage caused by 1)0th ground breaking and ground shaking can lead to the paralysis of the local infrastructure: police, lire, medical and governmental services.

Risk assessment conch)sjon. The effects of an earthquake can be far—reaching and devastating. However, in relative terms, earthquake is not a high risk thr the City of Avalon.

Relationship to Other Hazards Cascading lffccts
Earthquakes can cause many cascading effects such as liics, floodi tig, hazardous material spills, utility disruptions, landslides, transportation emergencies, and the possible fidlure of dams. Farthquakes may cause landslides and rupture dams, Ground shaking maycause sciche, the rhyltmic sloshing of water in reset voirs arid other bodies ol water. As noted above, earthquakes elsewhere in the Pacific have the ability to generate tsunatius that impact Catalina Island.

Coastal Storm I Coistal Erosion
L Siventy High Prob4bIlIty
hazard l)etinition
Coastal Storm
Coastal storms may have hurricane-force winds’ and may cause similar kinds and amounts of damage; however, they arc not classified as hurricanes because they do not originate in the tropics.

NOAi\ Scientists deli no a “nor’easter” (or northeaster) as any reasonably strong wind blowing Ilomn the northeast for an extended period of time. Nor’eastcis usuall do most of their damage at the coast, in the form of beach erosion and flooding. The northeast winds come from a Iowpressure system oflshore.
‘I he most destructive nor’casters occur when a highpressure system over northeastern New England or in the northern Atlantic blocks the northward movement of the low.

Winds blow clockwise around a high. Winds circulate counterclockwise around a low.

Whemi the low stops moving, its winds combine with those of the high to blow in one direction over a long period of time, which creates huge waves. The duration of a nor’easter — the mimhcr of high tides Ilnough which it persists — can be the most significant measure of its destructiveness.

Coastal Erosion
Coastal erosion is a natural geological process caused by currents, storms, earthquakes, winds, waves, tides, and the gradual movement of tectonic plates. It may take place slowly over thousands of years, or it may occur dramaticall , as with landslides or severe storms. Coastal erosion rates can be accelerated by sea level rise.

Driven by a rising sea level, large storms, boding, and powerful ocean waves, erosion wears away the beaches and bluITh along shorelines. Erosion undenmnes waterfront houses, businesses, and public facilities, eventually rendering them uninhabitable or unusable. By moving the shoreline inland, erosion also brings nearby structures ever closer to the waler, often putting them at greater risk than either their owners or insurci’s recognize.

Page 47 ends

City of Avaloit Local Hay.ard Mitigation Plan (1.l-1MP) November 4, 2004
An April 2000 study sponsored by FEMA Predicts that over the next 60 years, erosion may claim one out ol four houses within 500 liet of’ the U.S. shoreline. To the homeowners living within this nanow strip, the risk posed by erosion is comparable to the risk from flooding, especially in beach areas.

History
Catalina Island has a history of tropical storms that have affected major support systems. destroyed personal property, and injured residents of the island. Ihese storms ttiC generally seen in the winter months and are mote of au ISSttC ill an El Nino year. The storms that affect Avalon are called Northeastern Storms because they come in from the northeast. Tropical Storms and Tropical Depressions as far away as MeXiCO can have an effeci on the City of Avalon.

Strong northeast and southeast winds in Avalon have caused an extreme amount of clatnage to the waterfront piers and structures, and have flooded businesses on Crescent Street at times, depending on the tide height. Numerous vessels have broken off their moorings during these types of storms and have caused a signi [icant amount of damage to the vessels and loss of life.The table below’ provides data on historical severe weather events over the past century:

Risk Assessment
Coastal slomis are a recurring hazard fbi the City of Avalon.

Effects on people and housing. historically, there has been little loss of life or injury in the City of AValon due to Coastal Storms, The primary impacts have been economic in nature. A severe weather event can effect people in the City at’ Avalon by crippling one or mole key elements of infrastructure that serve them (wastewater treatment plant, Edison plant, supply tlocks, etc.) Effects on commercial and bid ustrial structures, The heart of the business district of Avaion directly borders the harbor, less than 11)0 yards from the water.

In dines of extreme titles and large tropical storms, that area is susceptible IC) flooding and damages. Tourism, the primary industry of Avalon, is severely hampered by severe weather events.

Effects on infrastructure, Key elements of the critical infrastructure of the City are inland anti at a slightly higher elevation than the waterfront. However, the main i’oad to the Edison plant near Pebbly Beach runs ‘ery close to (lie ocean, where erosion and rockslides can limit or even eliminate access.

Risk assessment conclusion, 1’lic threat of Coastal Storms to the City of Avalon is high, and often leads to considerable damage. Often, the damage is caused by a cascading effect such as one or more rockslides.

Moreover, because Avalon is dependent on barges from the mainland for looci supplies and because Avalon’s largest industry is tourism, Coastal Storms wreak economic havoc.

When barges and passenger fermics cannot operate between the mainland and Avalon, the food supply dwindles and the local econoin suffers.

Relationship to Other Hazards — Cascading EffectsHigh surf caused by coastal storms can damage or even destroy docks and piers in the Avalon Harbor and other places including the Edison Plant, Muny of these docks and piers contain electrical and gas lines. This combination can lead to fires in the City. high winds and large quantities of precipitation that come with a large tropical storm can cause rockslides. The areas most likely to be affected by rockslides are the access roads to Pebbly Beach and i-hamilton Cove.

llaiard: Landslides I Rockshdes
Severity: 111gb Probability: 1-ugh ]
Hazard l)efinition
A landslide is a geologic hazard where the force of gravity combines with othcr factors tocause earth matenal to move or slide down an iimcliic, Sonic landslides move slowly and cause damage gradually, whereas others move so rapidly that they can destroy property and Lake lives suddenly and unexpectedly. Slopes with the greatest potential fbi slidingare between 34 degrees and 37 degrees. Although steep slopes are commonly present where landslides occur, it is not necessary tom the slopes to he long.

Landslides, rockfalls, and debris Ilows occur continuously on all slopes; some processes act very slowly, while others occur very suddenly, often with disastrous results. As human populations expand over more of the land surface, these processes become an increasing concern.

There are predictable relationships between local geology and landslides, rockfalls. and debris flows. Knowledge of these relationships can improve planning and reduce vulnerability. Slope stability is dependent on many factors and their interrelationships, including rock type, iore water pi’essimic, slope steepness, and natural or iiian—made undercutt rig,
Uistory
Catalina Island has a recurring history of landslides and rockslides. It is not unusual for the access roads to the bdison Plant near Pebbly Reach and to I lamilion Cove to be washed—out every 2—3 years.Risk Assessnient
The risk of landslides and rocksliclcs in the City of Avalon is high. These events are recurring in nature arid disrupt access to critical elements of the Citys infrastructure.

Effects on people and housing. People and housing arc at risk from landslides and rockslidcs in Avalon. For the most part, past incidents have not resulted in significant injuries, but have disrupted transportation routes and caused considerable inconvenience,

Effects on commercial and iiidiistiial structures. Landslides and rockslidcs in Avalon are most likely to occur on the access roads to Pebbly Beach and lEamiltoii Cove. There arc a ninitber ol industrial stnictures uji the Pehldy Beach road, including the Edison plant. I lamijton Cove is a residential community, most of which is comm. cially available for rent by tourists.

Effects wi infrastructure. As has been noted, the road to Pebbly Beach provides access to much of Avalon’s critical infrastructure fhcilities, including the Edison plant and the wastewater treatment plant.

Risk assessment conclusion. Landslides and rockslides are a high risk in the City of Avalon. Not only are there risks ui injury Eu PeOl)1e and loss of property, there arc even higher risks to maintaining access 10 critical inl?aslructimre lacilities of the City.

Relationship to Other hazards Cascading Effects
Landslides are usually a cascading eflbct o severe weather.

Hazard Definition
Public 1-Icaith—related hazards may be the result of a naturally occurring event or terrorism. Key hazards of concern to the City of Avalon today are described below.

Jiantavirus infection is caused by a group of viruses that can infect, humans with two serious illnesses: hemorrhagic thvcr with renal syndrome (f-IFRS) and Ilantavirns pulnionary syndrome (HPS). 1-lanlaviruses are found without causing symptoms within various species ofroclents and are passed to humans by exposure to the urine, fbces, or saliva of those infected rodents. Ten different hanlaviruse-s have been identified as important in humans,
Lyrne I)iseasc (Borrelia buigdorferi) is a systemic, tickhorne disease with protean manifestations, including dcrmatologic, rheumatologic, neurologic, and cardiac abnormalities. The best clinical marker for the disease is an initial skin lesion that occurs in 60%-80% of patients.

Botulism is a serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin that is produced by the l,acteiium Clostridium botulinum. There arc three main kinds of botulism. Food borne botulism is caused by eating Ibods that contain the botulism toxin. Wound bolulism is caused by toxin produced from a wound infected with Closiridium botulinum, Infant botulism is caused by consuming the spores of the hotulinuni bacteria, which then grow in the intestines and release toxin. All forms of botulism can be fatal and are considered medical emergencies. Food borne botulism can be especially dangerous because many people can be poisoned by eating a contaminated mod.

Campylobacter jejuni (Pronounced ‘camp—e—lowback—tcr .june—cye) was not recognized as a cause of human Iod borne illness incir to I 975. Now, the bacterial organism is known to he the most common cause of food borne illness in the fix. (Sahnonclla is the second most common cause). Food is the most common vehicle for the spread of Cainpylobacter and poultry is the. most common food implicated. Some case-control studies indicate that up to 70% of sporadic eases of campylobaeteriosis are associated with eating chicken. Surveys by the USDA. demonstrated that up to 88% of the broiler chicken carcasses in the U.S. arc contaminated with Campylobacter while a receni Consumer Reports study identified Campylobacter in 63% of more then 1000 chickens obtained iii grocery stores, Other identijied food vehicles include unpastem’izccl milk, undercooked meats, mushrooms, hamburger, cheese, pork, shellfish, and eggs.

E. coil is found iii the family of bacteria named Lnteiobactenaccac, which is inibunally referred to as the en eric bacteria. Most frms of F. coh arc harmless; however, there are strains that cause serious illness, Other enteric bacteria are the Salmonella bacteria (also a very large family, with many different members), Klchsiella pneulnuniae, and Shinella, which many people consider to be part of the F. coli family.

Hepatitis
A is one of five human hepatitis viruses that piiniarily intèct the human liver and cause human illness, The other known human hepatitis viruses arc hepatitis B, C, D, and F. Hepatitis
A is relatively unusual in nations with developed sanitation systems such as the US. Nevertheless, it continues to occur here. Each year, an estimated 100 pei’sos die as a result of acute liver faiLure in the U.S. due to hepatitis A. Approximately 30 50,00() cases occur yearly in the U.S. and the direct and indirect costs of these casesexceed $300 million. Hepatitis A is totally prcventable, and need not occur.

Listeria inonocytogenes is a pathogenic (disease..causing) bacterium that is toodborne and causes an illness called listeriosis. it is frequently overlooked as a possible cause of illness due to its unique growth capabilities. First, it is somewhat difficult for laboratories to grow, and when they do so, listeria can ho confused with common harmless contaminants and disregarded. Second, most bacteria grow poorly when temperatures fall below 40°F, while Listeria survives at in temperatures from belowfreezing (20°F) to body temperature and it grows best at Q017 to 50°F, including the temperature range that we use fifl’ refrigeration. As a result, Listei’ia may be transmitted in ready-toeat foods that have been kept properly refrigerated.

Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that occurs mostly in central and western Africa. ii iscalled “monkeypox” lccause it was first Ibund in 1958 in laboratory monkeys.

Monkeypox was reported in humans for the first time in 1970. In early June 2003, monkeypox was reported among several people iii the US. Most of these people got sickafter having contact with pet praii’ie dogs that were sick with monkeypox. This was the (list time that there had been an outbreak o;f inonkeypox in the U.S. ‘flie disease is caused by Monkcypox virus. It belongs to a group of viruses that includes the smallpox virus (variola). the virus used in the smallpox vaccine (vaccinia), and the cowpox virus. in humans, the signs and symptoms of’ monkeypox are like those of smallpox. but usually they are milder, Another difference is that monkcypox Causes the lymph nodes to swell.

Norwalk virus is a virus that attaches to the outside of cells lining the intestine. Once attached, it transfers its genetic material into that cell. ‘l’hcre it reproduces, finally killing the human cell to release new copies of ii that attach to more cells of’ in intcstinc’s lining.Common names of the illness caused by the Norwalk and other small round structured or calicivii’uses are viral gastrocntei’itis, acute nonbaclerial gasti’oenteritis, food poisoning, and food borne infection. This illness occurs worldwide. I lumaus aic the only known hosts. The viruses are passed in the stool of’ infected persons. Of viruses, only the common cold is reported more often than viral gastroenteritis. Norwalk and Nurwalk

like viruses are. increasingly being recognized as leading causes of fond-borne disease in the United States, People roost often get Norwalk virus infection by swallowing infected food or watci, Outbreaks in the U.S. arc often linked to eating raw shellfish, especially Oysters and clams. Steaming does not kill the virus or prevent its transmission.

Plague is a disease caused by Yersinia peslis (Y. pestis), a bacterium found in rodents and their fleas in many areas around the world. Pneumonic plague is clifihrent horn the bubonic plague. Both arc caused by Yersinia pcslis, but they are transmitted differently and their symptoms difftr. Pneumonic plague can be transmitted flow person to pi’sot1; bubonic plague cannot - Pncumonjc plague alThcts the lungs and is transmitted when a person breathes in Y. pestis particles in the air, Ilubonic plague is transmitted through the bite of an infected flea or exposure to infected material through a break in the skin, Symptoms include swollen, lender Lymph glands called buhocs. l3ubocs are not present in pneumonic plague. II L)Ul)OniC plague is 1101 treated, however, the bacteria can spread through the bloodstream and infect the lungs, causing a secondary case ol l)neIInIoi)ic plague. Patients usually have fever, weakness, and rapidly developing pneumonia with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and sometimes bloody or watery sputum. Nausea, voniitii.tg, and abdominal pain may also occur, Without early treatment, pneumonic plague usually leads to respiratory failure, shock, and rapid death.

Salmonella is a type of bacteria that causes typhoid fever and many other infections of intestinal origin. ‘l’yphoid fever, rare in the U.S., is caused by a particular strain designated Salmonella typhi. But illness due to due to other Salmonella strains, just called “sahnoneHosis,” is common in the U.S. today, the number of known strains of this bacteria total OVer 2300.

SARS is a respiratory illness of unknown cause that has recently been reported in a number of countries. According to the World I lealth Organization (WHO). the main symptoms and signs of SARS include a fever greater than 100.5° F (38° C), and cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing. ‘lhc cause of SARS is not known at this time.

Researchers at CDC and around the world arc working to find the cause ut SARS. At this early stage of the investigation. ii seems more likely that SARS is caused 1w an organism that we have less experience with rather than a commonly occurring, known organism.

The Shigella germ is a bacteria that can cause sudden and severe diarrhea (gastroentelitis) in humans, Shigella lives iii the human intestine and is commonly spreact both through fi)od and by person—to--person contact. ‘[he illness is also known as ubacillary dysentery.” About 25,000 or so laboratory confirmed cases of shigellosis are reported each yeai- in the U.S. However, many cases go undiagnosed and/ui unreported, and the hest estimates are that 450,000 cases of Slugella intbction actuall occur annually in the U.S.

Tularemia is a j)otentially serious illness that Occurs naturally in the 1.J.S. It is caused by the bacterium Franeisella iulai’ensis found in animals (especially rodents, rabbits, and hares). Tulareinia, also known as “rabbit fever.” Tularemia is usually a rural (lisease and has been reported in all U.S. stales except Hawaii. ‘fularemia is a widespread disease in animals. About 200 human cases of titTaremia arc reported each year in the U.S. Most cases OCCU in the soulheentral and western states.

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito”bonic vii.ns that has beeii bond parts of Asia, Eastern Europe. Africa, and the Middle East. The virus arrived in the Western Hemisphere in 1999 in New York City. The more severe forms of West Nile virus are West Nile encephalitis, West Nile meningitis, and West Nile inciiingoencephalitis.

Encephalitis refers to an inflammation of the brain, meningitis is en inflammation of the lncml)rane around the brain and the spinal cord, and ineningoencephalitis refers to inflammation of the brain and the membrane surrounding it.

Canine Distcni1jcr is a viral disease of young dogs characterized by high fever respiratory inflammation, It can affect wild animals and island pets.

Other animal diseases which can afikct humans include rabies and toxoplasmosis (an opportunistic infection caused by the microscopic parasite loxoplasma gondii, found in raw or undercooked meat and cat feces), as well as parasites such as roundworms, whipworms, hookworrns, ringworms, and. mange.
history
Los Angeles County Public I lealth has done rodent trapping fOr 1 lantavrns on the island.

One mouse has tested positive.A researcher for the Catalina Island Conservancy has submitted samples over the past few years to Los Angeles County Public Health to test for plague. All tests have been negative.

Los Angeles County Public lfealth has i’ccently met with City of Avalon officials and has begun to test for West Nile Virns. Public Health tested for mosquito larvae in areas of’ standing water on the island, Of live species present that were identified, two are of the type that are known carriers of West Nile Virus. Whether or not any of the mosquitoes actually carry the virus is unknown as of the writing of this initial LUMP.

I .os Angeles Cotnity Public Health collects licks oii the island biannually to check for I yiue Disease. Public Health focuses on areas of human interface, including campgrounds and trails, In 2003, Public Health found a smalL number of ticks which

carried the disease. There have been no con Irmcd cases of’ the disease on the island, although a few cases are under investigation.

There is no history of a biological disaster on the island; however, the possibility of one is very real. Due to the large and consistent influx of visitors to the island from all over the world and the close proximity of the residents of the City, the spread of disease could be very rapid,
In 1999, there was a distemper incident that put the island fox on the endangered species list. The fbx povulation on Catalina went from 1300 to 100. It is thought that the disease was transmitted by a pet on the island. The Island Conservancy started a recovery piogiam for the fox, which is now listed as a Federally Endangered Species. The Conservancy, Humane Society, and Institute for Wildlife Studies started a quarterly vaccination clinic to prevent lulure outbreaks. Outbreaks affect not only island wildli Ce and pets, but also have the potential to disrupt tourism, especially ecotourism, as well, Risk Assessment
The risk of diseases that can pose a serious threat to human life can be rated across the entire spectrum from low to high. ‘1’his is because disease can iunge in effect from as little as mild discomfort to severe illness and sudden death, or it can range from very rare to l)andenliC.

West Nile Virus is a disease of particular concern. The situation is changing daily on the nearby mainland, particularly in Los Angeles County, Riverside Count)’, and San Bernardino County, as this repomi is being prepared,
A particular vulnerability for the City of Avalon is the water supply behind ‘[‘hompson Reservoir, Wrigley Reservoir, and Baker Dam. IL’ the supply is compromised, the City’s fresh water supply may be eoparclized.

Further, if the salt water supply contained in Fall Canyon is compromised, the City’s water supply for its sewage system and fim suppression may also become unusable.

Where animal diseases and parasites are concerned, a system of required proof of vaccinations for pets brought onto the island, or a quarantine period, could address these concerns.

I-bua nil: Insect infestation
L Severity: Medium Probability: Medium
Hazard J)efinition
Insect infestation occurs when an undesirable type of insect inhabits an area in a manner that causes serious harm to: cash crops, livestock, or poultry; wmld land trees, plants, oranimals; or humans. Countless insects live on, in, and around plants, animals, and humans in all environments. Many are harmless, while others can cause fatal damage.

Under some con(htlons, insects that have been present and relatively harmless can become hazardous. For example, severe drought conditions can weaken trees and make them more susceptible to destruction from insect attacks. ‘I’he major forms of insects arc:

Chewing insects are deloliating insects. The)’ generally strip plants of green matter such as leaves. Caterpillars and beetles make up the largest proportion of chewing insects, Under normal conditions, trees can usually bounce back from an attack of these defoliators, though repeat infestation will weaken a tree and can eventually kill it by starving it of enelgy.

Boring, or tunneling, insects cause damage by boring into the stem, roots, or twigs of a tree. Some lay eggs which then hatch and the larvae burrow more deeply into the wood, blocking off the water—conducting tissues of the tree. Boring insects generally fbed on the vascular tissues of the tree. If the infestation is SefiouS, the upper leaves are starved of nutrients and moisture, and the tree can (lie, Signs of borer infestation include entry/exit holes in the bark, small mounds of sawdust. at the base, and sections of the crown wilting and dying.

Sticking insects do their damage by sucking out the liquid from leaves and twigs. Many sucking insects are relatively immobile, living on the outside of a plant and Ibrining a hard protective outer coating while they feed on the plant’s juices. Quite often they will excrete a sweet, sticky substance known as honeydew which contains unprocessed plantmaterial. Honeydew can cause sooty mold to form on leaves and can become a nuisance..

Signs of infestation include scaly formations on branches, diehack of leaves, andhoneydew production Also, while not technically an “insect,” it is worth noting that pathogens such as fungi can kill large stands of trees. For example, Phylop!ho;’a ru,noi’mn. the cause of Stmcklen

Oak Death, which is devastating not only for oaks, but for many other species ol trees as vcIl, is spreading rapidly.in conjunction with the above outlined problems. insects can carry and spread disease to plants, animals, and people
History
Catalina Island has experienced an infestation olbark beetles. which targeted groves of Eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus trees are made of a very oily wood that combusb; very rapidly and easily. A bark beetle has the potential to kill large quantities ol these trees and greatly increase their fire potential.

Risk Assessincnt
Catalina Island has a demonstrated vulnerability to insect infestation, although the effects within the City ofAvalon have been minimal. The climate makes it possible for insects to reproduce with little natural hindrance to their proliferation.

Effects on people and housing. in the case of the Bark Beetle, the fire hazard it creates can cost loss of homes and life.

Risk assessment conclusion. Insect infestation is tin ongoing tliietit. the effects on people and property Cati be disastrous and costly.

Not only (10 dead stands of trees increase the fuel available to wildfires, they have a negative effect on ecotounsm as well.

Relationship to Other hazards — Cascading Effects
the recent Bark Beetle infestation in the “1 nland Empire’’ area o1 Southern Cati lbrnia is a classic exaniple of cascading effects. The insect killed hundreds ot thousands of trees, increasing the wildfire hazard, which resulted in the unfortunate devastation of the fall fiies of 2003 in that area.

Plans anti Programs. There is an annual program to trap bees outside of the City of Avalon (at a cost of $30,000 per year) As noted under the hazard of Naturally—Occurring Biological Hazards, Los Angeles County Vector Control and Public Health are testing for plague afl(l West Nile Virus.

Hazard: Barn Failnre
Sevc ity Vciy high-to-High 1 JobabiJity IAfl4
liazar(1 Deliiiitioii
A darn failure is the partial or complete collapse of an inipuundment, with the associated downstream flooding. Flooding of the area below the (lam may occur as the result of structural fhilurc of the dam. overtopping, or a seiche. Darn faili.ucs are caused by natural and manmade condibons. Ihe list of causes includes earthquake, erosion of the thee or foundation, improper siting, structurai/(leSign flaws, and prolonged rainfall and flooding.The primary danger associated with a dam failure is the swift, unpredictable flooding of those areas immediately downstream of the (lam,
lherc are three general types of dams: earth and rock fill, concrete arch or hydraulic till, and concrete gravity. Each of these types of dams has different fiuilure characteristics. ‘l’he earth/rock fill darn will fail gradually clue to erosion of the breach; a hood wave will build grachially to a peak and then decline until the reservoir is empty. A concrete arch or hydraulic fill clam will fail aliriost instantaneously; with a very rapid buildup to a peak and then a gradual decline. A concrete gravity clam will fail somewhere in between instantaneous and gradual, with corresponding buil&up of hood wave.

History
There arc several dams on Catalina Island. These damns include:
• Thompson Reservoir — fresh water
\Vrigley Reservoir - fresh water
Baker Darn fresh water
Fall Canyon Reservoir salt water
• Buena Vista Point Reservoir - salt water
‘Ihe worst flood in the City of Avalon’s history occurred when the Baker Darn incident occurred on January 17, 1995, The incident occurred following a series of significant storms, ‘the concrete clam itself did not Jimil. Flowever, the fencing above the darn thiled clue to the accumulation of debris.

lffects oil people and lionsing. The effects on people and housing can be signifIcant. Loss of life and loss of property arc very real risks. The shelter requirements for displaced persons can be enormous.

Effects on commercial and in(lnstrial structures. Similarly, commercial und industrial structures face risks running the gamut from significant damage to total loss.

Risk assessment conclusion. Although darn failure incidents have not historically been a problem for the City of Avalon, there is the potential for another incident as significant as or worse than the Baker Darn failure.

Relationship to Other Hazards — Cascading Effects
1)am failure obviously causes downstream flooding. It may nlso lead to power failures and downed power lines. The secondary effects of’ darn failure can include I lie disruption of the local and state economies by damage to buildings and roads, the severance of conmiuneations, the disruption of supply erich delivery mechanisms, additional welfare, and emergency aid to the rec(wering economy.

Duni t’ailure may be caused by oilier hazards, including earthquakes and seasonal flooding.

Plans and Programs
Annual inspections and maintenance are conducted at the clams on the island. In particular, maintenance is ongoing at Bakei’ I)am to avoid a repeat of the debris problem that occurred in I 995.

Hazard: Hazardous Materials
Overall Severity: Very High Overall Probability: High
Gas Plant Explosion: Low Gas Plant Explosion: Very High Hazard Definition
1-lazardous materials (Hazmat), consist of substances that by their nature, lack of containment, ‘arid reactivity, have the capability for inflicting harm. I lazmat poses a threat to health and the environment when improperly managed. I taznuat can be toxic, corrosive, flammable, explosive, reactive, an irritant, or a strong sensitizer. I-Jazmat substances also include certain infectious agents, radiological materials, oxiders, oil, used oil, petroleum products, and industrial solid waste substances.

Hazardous materials can pose a threat where they arc manufactured, stored, transported or used. They are used in almost every manufacturing operation and by retailers, service industries, and homeowners.
hazardous material incidents are one of the most common technological threats to public health and the enviromnent. Incidents may occur as the result of natural disasters, human errol’, and/or accident,
Hazmat incidents typically take three forms:

Fixed facility incidents
o It is reasonably possible to iclentii’ and prettare for a hxed site incident, because laws require those facilities to notify state and local authorities about what is being used or produced there.
iransportatiomi incidents
0 transportation incidents are more difficult to l)repate for because it is impossible to know what material(s) could be involved until an accident actually happens.
• Pipeline incidents
o Pipehnes carry natural gas and petroleum. lireakages in pipelines carry dithering amounts of danger. depending on where and how the break occnrs, and what is in the pipe.

JJistory
historically, there have been only relut ively small, localized hnzmat LVC11LS .,-\lt events have been managed by civilian personnel or by the Avalon Fire Department.

Risk Assessment
The City ol Avalon has a number of lixed facility hazardous materials sites, iicluding underground fuel tanks next to the Casino, LPG tanks near the Casino, and at least six homes with 500 gallon LPG tanks. In addition, there are landfills and underground fuel tanks around Thompson Reservoir, the City’s imai’y source of freshwater.

The Edison plant handles a number of hazardous materials and maintains a number of mitigation and emergency preparedness plans of its own.

In addition, the City is vulnerable to marine accidents, including collisions with the island, involving bai’ges transporting project materials, fuels, and other hazardous items.

In particular, LPG is brought from the mainland by barge to Catalina Freight, located between Pebbly Beach and the ldison plant. Catalina Freight transports the l.PG to the tanlc farm at the Edison plant, where the gas is vaporized and sent into the City ofAvalon via pipeline.
hi a similar manner, diesel and urea (a non-hazardous chemical) arc transported from the mainland by barge to Catalina 1”reight, which in turn transports the materials to the lklisoii plant.
• Effects on people and housing. People way be evacuated when a (Iaznuit incident occurs. Relative to some of the other natural hazards assessed earlier in this LI IMP, the numbers of people affected by I Iazmat incidents are usually less.

However, in the City at’ Avalon. a disruption of operations at the I dison plant could npact -or at least inconvenience every citizen of the City. o Effects on commercial and nidustrial structures. ‘[here may be economic consequences due to Hazmat incidents, but the damage is generally limited to clean--up of facilities and grounds, or simply interruption oh’ business clue to evacuation.

Effects on infrastructin’e, llazmat materials may impact waterways and drainage systems, and incidents can lead to the evacuation of schools, business districts, and residential areas. Again, in the City of Avalon, a disruption of operations at the Edson plant would impact the iuli-astrnctni-e of the entire City,

1isk assessment conclnsion. Although the point of hazard in a J4azmat incident can have serious property damage and even loss of life, liazinat accidents (10 not generally affect extremely large areas. Hazmat incidents present a real danger and are highly unpredictable in terms of determining when or where they will occur, but they generallydo not pose a serious threat to the ability of the City of Avalon to respond. Reasonable preparation by law enforcement, the fire department, and the medical community enables the City to deal with the majority of likely events. Many emergency workers prepare Ihr Jlazmat events as part of their ongoing training. Agencies and facilities arc also routinely equipped to deal with most events that. might occur.

Relationship to Other Hazar(ls — Cascading Effects
Besides the immediate effect of a hazardous materials incident at the scene of the emergency, there are ancillary effects as vehl. For instance, there may be impacts on waterways and drainage systems, and the evacuation of schools, business districts, andresidential areas Plans and Programs

Aircraft Crashes
In the context of the City of Avalon, the primary concern is the occurrence of an incident resulting from an airliner crash with attendant multiple ininrics to and deaths of passengers, crew, and individuals on the ground.

Cross Chaxinel Carrier /Cruisc Ship Inci(ldfltsIn the context of the City of Avalon, the Primary concerns arc lire, explosioiis. sinking, and/or running aground of a cross—channel carrier or a cruise ship.

OtherThere arc oilier poteiitial Transportation Emergencies of concern to the City of Avalon, including:
a Run-away tour bus on the Old Stage Road and/or interior roadways, and • Over—the--side of a cliff multi—casualty incident involving a tour bus.

While incidents such as these would be catastrophic to the persons involved, could cause significant property damage, and could lead to other cascading efThcts such as uii’es, they are relatively “self—contained” incidents that arc handled by emergency services persoiiiiel in the normal course of their business. As such, they are not assessed for piirposes of this LI-iMP.

History
Aircraft Crashesin the last 40 years, there. have been 96 reported general aviation incidents, Of these, 30 landed in water, causing localized hazard events. The remaining incidents were emergencies, with a few causing localized fire events. Fortunately, to—date there have been no incidents involving airliners, Ilowever, the January 31 , 2000 crash of Alaska

On September 22, 1999, a tanker on a barge was punctured.

Risk Assessment
The risk of a major transportation emergency in the City of Avalon is riot trivial. If one occurs, the consequences are likely tO be significant.

Effects on people and housing. Injuries and deaths in the event of a commercial jet crash in the City of Avalon or an incident involving a cross channel carrier or cruise ship are likely to be numerous.

Effects on comniercml and industrial structures. The risk of damage to commercial or industrial siructurcs is relatively low. However, a commercial airliner crash in lie City or a marine incident near the Ldison plant. could have significant consequences.
o Effects on infrastructure. An airliner crash or miiflne incident at or near the Ldison plant would have a serious impact on the City’s infrastructure, Risk assessment conclusion, While the overall risk of a major transportation emergency in the City of \va1on is low, the impact of an airliner ci’ash or a cross channel carrier or cruise sll[j) incident would he significant.

Hazard Definition
A blackout is a total loss of power and light. A blackout IS caused by an interruption or loss oI electrical service due to clisi’uption of’ power generation or transmission caused by an accident, sabotage, natural hazard, equipment failure, or fuel shortage. More common iliterruptions arc caused by power grid fai hire, lire, or scvcre weather. These interruptions can last anywhere iroto a few seconds to several clays or weeks.

IILstory
1-listorically, Avalon has sustained only sporadic and briel’ outages.

Risk Assessment
The possibility of catastrophic damage to property or loss of Ii Fe due directly to power failure is slight. An individual could lose their life if they come into contact with a downed power line, Although the risk of power Outage is high, the direct damage potential is low.
(Jo the other hand, blackouts or interrupted service often occur during electrical stormsand high winds. Wildlires could cause blackouts on the island, although the risk to the City of Avalon is minimal.
• Effects on people and housing. Impacts chic directly to power iäilnrc are slight. • Effects on commercial and iJl(lustrial sti’uictui’es. impacts due clirecily to io’er failure. are slight.

People arc exposed to toxic pollutants in many ways that can pose health risks:

Breathing containi nated ai U
Eating contaminated food products, such as fish from contaminated waters; meat, milk, or eggs from animals that fed on contaminated plants; and fruits and vegetables grown in contaminated soil
Drinking watci’ contain mated by lox i c pol lutamits
Ingesting contanunated soil. Young children are esI)ccially vulnerable because they often ingest soil from their hands or from objects they Place in their mouths ‘l’ouching (making skin contact with) contaminated soil, dust, or water (for example, during recreational misc of contaminated water bodies) 1Iistorv
With limited industrial sites, limited automobiles and prevailing winds the City of Avalon has a relatively high air quality. lIowever when certain atmospheric conditions prevail, air quality high levels of carbon monoxide, ozone and particulate matter will be present.

Water quality is a bigger concern for the City, with its dependency on limited natural resources on the island (one major source) and the desalination operations of the Edison plant. In addition to residential population growth, water demand iii the City of Avalon is driven by the visitor population, economic growth among commercial and agriculturalwater uses (especially in other parts of Catalina Island), temperature, rainfall, household size, conservation efforts, and pricing.

In 1999, a small poltion ofAvalon I-leach was closed for a period ot six days clue to elevated bacterial levels of enterococci, fecal coli form caused by an unknown Source.

Effects On peOple UI(1 housing. ‘I he quality of the air that people breathe andwater that they drink directly affects their health, enviromnent, economy and quality of life. An overabundance of pollutants in air or water can cause mild to severe health effects, including increased hospitalization and emergency room visits, respiratory illnesses, increased risk of developing cancer, decreasedbreathing capacity, lung inflammation, difficulty iii exercising, and even a reduction in life—span.

Effects on commercial and industrial structures. Pollutants may cause damageto properly. Certain air I)ollutallts arc responsible fer discoloring paintedsurfaccs, eating away at stones used in buildings, dissolving the mortar that holds bricks together, and cracking tires and other items made from rubber.

Risk assessment conclusion. While air pollution is not a concern, water pollution is a significant hazard for the City. Some meint,ers of the [lIMP Planning Team questioned the City’s Vision of a community that is un-crowded and not congested. These same members raised concerns about water quality, pointing out that there have been numerousbeach closures due to high bacteria counts.

Hazard: Nuclear Incidents
_____
Severity Very_Jligh [ Piobahility Vey Lo
iTaZar(l 1)efinition
There are two general situations that could affect the City 01’ Avalon, namely:
e A situation involving nuclear weapons, which is discussed in the ‘1 errorism Section of this LHMP;
An incident involving the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SON( ;S).

As will be discussed in the Tcrrorism section of this LI IMP, the possibility exists that a terrorist organization might acquire the capability of creating a small nuclear detonation.

A single nuclear detonation in the United States would likely p10(111cc fallout atThcling an area many times greater than that of the blast itself. There is also the possibility that a terrorist will construct a “dirty 1)0mb”, a bomb that is used to distribute nuclear contaminated materials. It would have less of an effect than a “traditional” nuclear bomb, but the terror efibct on the population would be great.

SONGS is located on the Pacific Coast in northwestern San Diego County, approximately 4 miles southeast of the City of San Clemente, S unding San Onofre is a Basic Emergency Planning Zone, approximately 10 miles in radius within which certain precautionary actions must be taken and specific precautionary plans must be prepared. this zone does not include any portion of Catalina Island. Beyond this zone is a Public Iducation Zone (PEZ) approximately 20 miles in radius in a northeasterly direction that also does not include any portion of Catalina island. Within this area, residents are provided a public education program concerning the ielated hazards and protective actions that might result from an accident at SONGS. Beyond this zone is an area that could be affected by radioactive fallout being deposited in such a manner as to detrimentally affect the human food chain, which does include Catalina island, This area is identiliecl as the Ingestion Pathway Zone. Specifically, the primary threat is that of radioactive iodine 131 being deposited upon fodder consumed by daii’y cows and subsequently appearing in the milk at the public marketplace. Avalon is outside the SONGS 50—mile radius designation, tlierefoi’e, is unlikely to be significantly afiCeted. history
Fortunately, Catalina Island has not yet experienced a nuclear accident.

Effects on people and housing. T)epencling on levels of radiation exposure, the effects could range from minimal to devastating.
• Effects on conuncrcal and in(lnstrial structures. Depending on levels of radiation exposure, the effects could lange from minimal to devastating. • Effects on infrastructure. Depending on levels of radiation exposure, the effects could range from minimal to devastating.

Risk assessment conclusion. Catalina Island and the City of Avalon are far enough away from nuclear power plants that cataclysmic exposure is not likely. lhe [nail)’ miles of ocean between the nearest plant (San Onofre) and strong wind currents over the ocean could further mitigate the effects of an accident. 1-lowever, a strong southeast vincl may be able to push ftmllnut to Catalina Island.

lerrorsin tak Cs many fhrms, including:
• Chemical
• Biological
• Radiological

• Cyber-teri’orism
Chemical. Chemical weapons have been used primarily to tClToiize an unprotected civilian population and not as a weapon ol war. This is because of fear of retaliation and the likelihood that the agent would contaminate the butrleliclcl for a long period of lime.

Some analysts suggest thai the possibility of a chemical attack would appear far more likely than either the use of nuclear or biological materials, largely clue to the easy availability of nnuiv of the necessary precursor substances needed to construct chemical weapons. Additionally, the rudimentary technical knowledge needed to build a working chemical device is taught in every college level chemistry course in the world, Some chemical agculs are odorless and tasteless iicl are difficult to detect. ‘they can have an immediate effect (a few seconds to a few minutes) or a delayed effect (several hours to several clays).

Biological. Biological weapons are defined as any infectious agent such as a bacteria or virus used to produce illness or death in pcopl, animals, or plants. This clefnition is often expanded to include biologically—derived toxins and poisons. Biological agents can

communications systems and the isolation of the island from the mainland arc critical concerns.

The Los Angeles County Slieriii’s Department Avalon Station has dralted some very specific communications e(luipjnent needs, much of which could be shared with (he Avalon I larbor Patrol and the Avalon Fire Department. While this equipment would not mitigate the ocerrence of a natural haxard (although it may mitigate the occurrence of an act oJ terrorism), it would be instrumental in iI)itigaliflg ihe SCVCrIIY of vOriollS types ol incidents, particularly given the island’s isolation fiojii the mainland.

Specifics recornmeiidecl by the Sherifrs Department include:

Tac-Pac ‘Emergency Operations Center (hOC) in a briefcase” (5 sets) (or slim lai Communications/in ionnationlcomputer—communicationssystem combination) o A command post in a box gives users a total communications and disaster management system in one field portable case. ‘ibis system provides: a rugged lap lop computer with 3l) (31S ilrlaging software and HAZMAT Operations Sofiware, color printer/copier, Fax machine, cellular phones for voice and Computer comnnmication using wireless capabilities, Global Positioning System, built in light, Satellite telephone can be used for primary or back up voice and computer communications, virtual WAN hub, Wireless LAN
connection, solar power back up power supply. These systems can tic together all command post, critical facilities and subEOC locations in a field environment without having to rely on a static l3owe1 supply along with proviclilg main communications in an emergency where a total failure of primary communications and utilities have occurred. • Nida NC- 11 Radio (onsole containing 3 Orion 1700 radios (2) o These radio console would he used tor communication with Avalon I larbor Patrol, Avalon Fire Department and Sheriffs Department imils. Each console with its power supply is portable and can bemoved from a static location to a location with portable antennas.

One would be used in the Sherifrx Station sub—IIX)C and one would be kept with the Mobile Command Vehicle. The Shcriffs station has no comnitmnicalion system currently that ties together all the ‘\valoimBmergency Services.

In addition, the Sherifis Department has ofliDred proposals lOr trace cxplosivcs detectors, given the particular vulnerabilities that Avalon has as a center of tourism:

GE Jon ‘track Vapor ‘I racer
o The Track Vapor Tracer can scan bodies and luggage for traces of explosives by analyzing the air around the person or luggage and detecting the particles associated with explosives. This piece ofequipment can be deployed as a terrorism deterrent at any time, during MARSEC 3 or during an actual terrorism incident. It alsocan be used for dual law enforcement purposes in narcoticsdetection as vell as explosives.

GE Ion Track Entry Scan Explosives Detector
o This is a walk through entry portal that offers maximum security with mininmnt disrupt ion Fully automated visible and audible instructions direct passengers when to enter and leave. Self diagnostics for maintenance ensure performance stays at its peak.

Easy to set up and quiet during operation, since the natural flow ofair generated by the body draws in particles ant! vapors,eliminating the need for fans that stir up dust and contaminants. ‘l’his unit can be used for random passenger checks as a terrorism deterrent or for screening passengers during a local Mi\R SEC level change. this imit can be used in narcotics detection as vell.

N Both of these pieces of equipment can be invaluable to a remote location as Avalon when used in terrorism deterrentoperations prior to a raise in the MARSEC level.

History
Fortunately, ‘the City of Avalon has no history o[ incidents of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive terrorism.
the City has been unpacted as has the rest of the world — by recent colTipuler viruses and worms and has experienced several incidents of arson.

Risk ASSesSment
Chemical. A terrorist would not have to build a complicated chemical release device.

During favorable weather conditions an already existing chemical plant could besabotaged or bombed releasing a toxic cloud lo drift into a populated area. The result could be just as dangerous as having placed a smaller chemical device in a more coin flned space. This type of incident would cause the maximum amount of ftar, tncpidaliuu. andpotential panic among the civilian populatiou...ancl thus achieve a major terrorist objective,
Biological. I’he agents are cheap, easy to make, and simple to conceal. Even smallamounts, if effectively deployed, could cause massive injuries and overwhelm emergency rooms. The production of biological weapons can be carried Out virtually anywhere insimple laboratories, on a thou, or even in a home. llowever, experts say it remains very difficult to transform a deadly virus or bacterium into a weapon that can be effectively dispersed. A bomb carrying a biological agentwould likely destroy the germ as it explodes. Dispersing the agents with aerosols is challenging because biomaterials are often wet and can clog Sl)rayerS. Most agree that, while a biological attack could he devastating in theory, in reality, the logistical challenges of developing effective agents and then dispersing them make it less likely aterrorist could early out a successful widespread assault.

Radiological/Nuclear. IJnder extreme circumstances an accident or intentionalexplosion involving radiological materials can cause very serious problems.

Consequences may includc death, severe health risks to the public, damage to the environment, and extraordinary loss ot or damage to, property.

Explosive. While generally more limited in the extent of the damage inflicted, explosive terrorist attacks may have consequences including death and damage to property. ‘[‘lie City ofAvalon is particularly vulnerable to such a terrorist attack. With ferry boats carrying 350 - 450 passengers arriving in Avalon Harbor frequently throughout the day, cruise ships with 2500 passengers anchored nearby, and large numbers of swimmers in the water along the bcachfront, the City must he vigilant to this risk

Cybciterrorisin. Like all jurisdictions today, the City is vulnerable to cyberterrorisni.

Effects on I)COpIC anti housing, I )epciiclnig on levels ol eoiitaniination and exposure, effects 00111(1 range horn minimal to devastating. The effects of an explosive attack or “active shooter” incident could be devastating. • Effects on colnn)crcial afl(l in(Iustrial structures. 1)cpending on levels of contamination and exposure, effects could lange flow minimal to devastating.

The effects of an explosive attack or “active shooter” IUCICICIII would he devastating to Avalon’s largest source ofeonimerce, namely, tourism.

Effects on infrastructure. Nuclear, radiological, and cyber—terrorism can have prolou nd effects on i nilastructure.

Risk assessm cut conclusion. [)ue to recent events such as the 9/11 Iwin lowers attack and the declared war against terrorism, national and local governments have assigned high priority to terrorist aUack preparedness.

Plans and Programs
The I .os Angeles County Sheriff’s l)epartmcnt is:
o (JpcIating all of the County I mergencv Operations Plans pertaining to Catalina Island
• Updating the School Safety Plan for A valon School; and • Creating an Avalon Port Security Plan, in cooperation with the Avalon Harbor Depatinciut

June 25. 2024
City CouncilCity of AvalonP.O. Box 707
Avalon, California, 90704Dear Council,
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. On April 7, 2024, 1 applied for a new commercial autoette permit for my new two-way radio communications business, SaldanaCommunications. I appeared before the vehicle Hearing Officer on May 16, 2024 and was approved the commercial autoette permit under the condition that it would only apply’ to acertified electric vehicle, pursuant to the city’s new regulation that took effect on January I, 2024.

In my hearing, I explained my circumstances of why my commercial autoette permit should be approved for the gasoline-powered Yamaha golf cart that is currently in my ownership and possession. According to AMC 4-4. I 703(c)( I )e, “Effective January I, 2024 all purchase or lease agreements for new commercial autoettes must be for certified electric vehicles.” The vehicle I currently own and wish to register as a commercial autoette was purchased long beforeJanuary 1, 2024, and is not a part of a lease agreement. The regulation requiring electriccommercial autoettes fails to include or specify previously-owned vehicles that were in the owner’s possession, and is not all-inclusive to “all new permits”, only “purchase or leaseagreements.” My vehicle falls within this technicality, it would ask council to consider this in your decision.

My vehicle is in my current ownership and has been on the island and registered with the City of Avalon as a residential autoette since 2007. It is in good, working condition and has been well maintained throughout my family’s ownership. No other vehicle is available to me that would allow me to easily navigate Avalon’s narrow roads, not make an impact on parking with a full-size vehicle or work truck, and transport necessary supplies and equipment from jobsite to jobsite.

I am kindly asking for your consideration in approving my appeal to allow for the valid permitting of my Yamaha cart to a commercial autoette so that I may use it as a part of mybusiness, retain it in my possession, and forgo the cost of replacing a functioning vehicle.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Gabriel Saldana /Owner. Saldana Communications

CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2024 AGENDA ITEM:
________
ORIGINATING DEP: Harbor Department CITY MANAGER: .AjL(
PREPARED BY: Orne Carstarphen, Harbor Master
SUBJECT: Purchase of 2024 Vita Seal Electric Boat
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): 1. Make the affirmative finding that Vita Power is the sole source provider of commercial harbor craft vessels approved by the Clean Off-Road Equipment (CORE) Voucher Incentive Program. 2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to procure a new Vita Seal Electric Boat, per the City’s procurement process.

REPORT SUMMARY: The City of Avalon Harbor Department applied for and was awarded CORE Voucher funding for the purchase of an electric patrol boat. The voucher program makes available $129,952.30 in funds for the purchase of a 2024 Vita Seal Electric Boat. The List price for the Vita Seal is $215,000.00.

In July of 2023, City staff, business leaders, and members of the City Council took part in a two-day demonstration of the Vita Seal electric boat. The purpose of the demonstration was to determine the boats viability for use as a patrol boat in Avalon Harbor. Staff concluded that the Harbor Master should pursue the purchase of the Vita Seal Electric Boat.

The Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Program (CORE) is administered through the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The program incentivizes California fleets to purchase or lease environmentally friendly off-road equipment.

CORE benefits the residents of California by stimulating deployment of advanced zeroemission off-road vehicles, improving community health with immediate air pollution emission reductions, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help meet State climate goals, and yielding substantial economic benefits.

Per the City of Avalon Municipal Code (AMC) Section 3-4.111: When there is only one source that provides the necessary public project, se,vices, goods and equipment to ensure compatibility with existing City public projects, se,vices, goods or equipment, or the public project, services, goods or equipment are proprietary in nature, the City may procure the public project, goods or services from the sole source.

Vita Power has the only approved commercial harbor craft vessels in the CORE program.

After use of the voucher, the City’s Harbor Fund will fund the remaining balance of the procurement, approximately $97,000.

Staff recommend the City Council makes the finding that Vita Power is the sole source vendor of commercial harbor craft vessels approved by the CORE Voucher Incentive Program, and authorize the procurement of the vessel.

FISCAL IMPACTS: City funding not to exceed 97,000.00
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: Avalon Harbor Department would continue to operate a fleet of gas and diesel powered vessels. Avalon Harbor Department would not have a vessel for use within the fleet with the ability to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses in order to help meet State climate goals.

FOLLOW UP ACTION: Implement City Council direction.

ADVERTISING, NOTICE AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Pursuant to the Brown Act.

CORE Program Overview
The Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Program (CORE) is administeredthrough the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The program incentivizes California fleets to purchase or lease cleaner off-road equipment. CORE targets commercial-ready projects that have not yet achieved a significant market foothold.

The goal of CORE is to overcome the most significant barrier to entry of zero-emissions equipment by lowering the purchase price and making cleaner technologies more achievable.

The program funds multiple types of equipment, including commercial harbor craft (CHC). With regards to CHC equipment, CORE aims to support eligible purchasers that are going beyond the minimum requirements of the California Commercial Harbor Craft Regulation Amendments by purchasing fully zero-emissions vessels.

Vita Power has the only approved commercial harbor craft vessels in the CORE program. For more information about the available vouchers, visit: Commercial Harbor Craft Archives -Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Proiect (californiacore.orq) Eligible Purchasers for CHC
Eligible purchasers include an entity that is purchasing a vessel type that is subject to and fully compliant with the California Commercial Harbor Craft Regulation (17 CCR 93118.5)2. The regulation applies to any private, commercial, government, or military marine vessel (with the exception of tactical support vessels) including, but not limited to, passenger ferries, excursion vessels, tugboats, ocean-going tugboats, towboats, push boats, crew and supply vessels, work boats, pilot vessels, supply boats, fishing vessels, research vessels, barge and dredge vessels, commercial passenger fishing vessels, oil spill response vessels, hovercraft, emergencyresponse harbor craft, and barge vessels that do not otherwise meet the definition of ocean going vessels or recreational vessels.

To be eligible for funding, boats must be used for commercial operations. Recreational vessels are not eligible for CORE vouchers.Funding Oveview
CORE provides a streamlined voucher process by which potential purchasers can receive funding at the point of sale to help offset the higher cost of cleaner off-road equipment. The maximum voucher amounts for new CHC vessels and charging infrastructure:

Table 1: New Commercial Harbor Craft Amount ($)
New Equipment 19 kW Internal Base Voucher Up to $1,000,000 Combustion Powered_Equivalent Enhancement <99kW Shore Power Voucher $75,000
>99kW Zero Emission Advanced
Enhancement Technology Charging Infrastructure $100,000 Voucher
Enhancement Zero-Emission Bunkering $100,000
• Vouchers are valid for 730 calendar days from the voucher created date.• Voucher payment is issued upon Boat delivery • There Es no limit on the number of vouchers that can be applied for at one time • For vessels operating in disadvantaged communities, there is an additional 10% added to the voucher amount. For small businesses, there is an additional 15% added to the base voucher amount
• The charger voucher can’t be used as a stand-alone voucher and must be applied for with a vessel voucher
Application Process and Requirements
The CORE application is a simple, 2-page document that requests purchaser contact information, business type (i.e. government agency or private enterprise), address location where the boat will be operating, estimated annual hours of use for the boat, electric service provider, and indication of whether the applicant qualifies as a small business and is located in a disadvantaged community to determine eligibility for additional funding beyond the base voucher amount. Applicants also complete a demographic questionnaire as part of the application process.

In addition to the application, the purchaser must submit a non-binding Letter of Intent indicating their intention to enter into a purchase agreement to buy the CF-IC vessel if they are awarded a CORE voucher. The purchaser must provide the Purchase Order within 365 calendar days of the voucher submittal date. Extension requests are available on a case-by-case basis.

The minimum project participation period is 3 years and starts on the date the vessel is delivered or the date final payment is made, whichever is later. There is no scrappage requirement of existing internal combustion equipment to participate in the CORE program.

A. PROJECT OVERVIEW

1. Background
The FY 2021-22 Funding Plan expanded CORE to cover heavy-duty off-road eligible and commercial harbor craft (CHC)1. The goal of CORE is to overcome the most significant barrier to entry of zero-emissions equipment by lowering the purchase price and making cleaner technologies more achievable. In addition, CORE aims to support eligible purchasers that are going beyond the minimum requirements of the California Commercial Harbor Craft Regulation Amendments by purchasing fully zero-emissions vesse Is.

2. Eligible Purchasers
Eligible purchasers include an entity that is purchasing a vessel type that is subject to and fully compliant with the California Commercial Harbor Craft Regulation (17 CCR93118.5)2. The regulation applies to any private, commercial, government, or military marine vessel (with the exception of tactical support vessels) including, but not limited to, passenger ferries, excursion vessels, tugboats, ocean-going tugboats, towboats, push boats, crew and supply vessels, work boats, pilot vessels, supply boats, fishing vessels, research vessels, barge and dredge vessels, commercial passenger fishing vessels, oil spill response vessels, hovercraft, emergency response harbor craft, and barge vessels that do not otherwise meet the definition of ocean-going vessels or recreational vessels.

The purchaser must be in compliance with CHC regulations at the time of voucher approval, to include annual reporting requirements3. In addition, the purchaser mustobey all other guidelines as set forth in the CORE Implementation Manual and in the Purchaser Terms and Conditions.

3. Project Participation Period
The “project participation period” starts on the date the CORE-funded CHC is delivered or the date final payment is made, whichever is later, and ends three years followingsuch date. For zero-emission conversion kits funded with a CORE voucher, the date of delivery shall be the date the fully converted CHC is delivered to the purchaser.

4. Stacking CORE Funding with Other Programs
Stacking, where CORE co-funds with other public funding programs, is allowed by CORE but may not be allowed by other programs. Be sure to confirm the terms, conditions, and program requirements of each funding source when evaluating whether fund stacking is permissible. Additionally, CORE does not allow the total amount of incentive a https://ww2arb.ca.goy/ç/lefauIt/fiIes/2O211Q/fy2122 fundiflgpIrj3pjçix dpdf 2 httjs://ww2.
htts://ww2zarh.ca.gov/our-work/programs/commercjaIharborcraft/chcreportjng-ternpIates 1 CORE Implementation Manual Attachment E (Release Date: June 11, 2024) funding (from all sources) to exceed the total cost of the CHC (excluding taxes and fees).

Accordingly, in an applicable transaction, a CORE voucher could be reduced below the amount originally determined for the affected CHC. Other incentive programs mayrequire scrappage of existing internal combustion equipment; this is not a requirement to participate in the CORE program. However, CORE requirements do not replace or supersede the requirements of other incentive programs that may be used inconjunction. Therefore, if a purchaser is also seeking funding from other incentive programs/projects that require scrappage, the purchaser is still bound by suchrequirements. If purchasers are interested in additional funding to scrap their existing internal combustion equipment, they can contact their local Air District4.

B. VOUCHER AMOUNTS
Commercial harbor craft vouchers are per vessel and must not exceed $1,000,000 including additional funding provided for small business, CHC deployment in disadvantaged or low-income communities and shore-side electric charging or zeroemission bunkering equipment.

In addition, while CORE does not prohibit combining a CORE voucher with funds from other incentive programs, the total CORE voucher amount plus all other public incentives may not exceed 100 percent of the total cost of the CHC (excluding taxes and fees).

1. New Vessel Voucher Amount
Table 1, below, sets forth the voucher amounts for a new commercial harbor craft vessel. Base voucher amounts will not exceed the incremental cost of the vessel.

C. VOUCHER ENHANCEMENTS
CHC are eligible for additional funding and voucher enhancements for Small Business, Deployments in Disadvantaged or Low-Income Communities, and shore-side charging or zero-emission bunkering equipment.

New CHC or CHC conversion kits purchased by a small business to be deployed or domiciled within a disadvantaged community (DAC) or low-income community for the entire duration of its project participation period, an additional 25 percent of the modelspecific base voucher amount is available. (10 percent is available for deployments in DACs/low-income communities and 15 percent is available if the purchaser is a Small Business). The two additional voucher enhancements are cumulative for a total eligible enhancement of 25 percent.

Purchasers who are unsure of their small business designation, or who may need to relocate the CHC outside of a low-income or DAC community are encouraged to waive their voucher enhancements, to avoid the possibility of non-compliance.

CORE vouchers (including additional funding provided for small business, equipment deployment in disadvantaged or low-income communities, and the shore-side equipment enhancement) are capped at $1,000,000. That is, no individual voucher can exceed $1,000,000 or exceed the total cost of the equipment (excluding taxes and fees).

1. Small Business Definition
Government Code Section 14837 (d) (1) (A)5 defines “Small business” as: [An] independently owned and operated business that is not dominant in its field of 3 CORE Implementation Manual Attachment E (Release Date: June 11, 2024) operation, the principal office of which is located in California, the officers of which are domiciled in California, and which, together with affiliates, has 100 or fewer employees, and average annual gross receipts of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) or less over the previous three years, or is a manufacturer, as defined in subdivision (c), with 100 or fewer employees. Commencing January 1, 2019, the average annual gross receipts threshold shall be fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000).

2. Small Business Verification
If a small business enhancement is being requested, purchasers must provide the following information to verify their small business status as defined above: Identify the total revenue, receipts, and sales reported to the Internal Revenue Service in your most recent filing. This information may be reported in Box ic of IRS Form 1120, Box lc of IRS Form 1065, or Box 3 of IRS Schedule C (Form 1040). If this information is not available, provide a letter of explanation to CalifomiacOREtetrate within 30 calendar days of the voucher request.

3. Disadvantaged Community Definition
For the purposes of CHC the “use” in a DAC is defined as the domiciled location. Since most water areas are not mapped on CalEnviroScreen 4.06 the location where the vesselis domiciled will be used to determine DAC applicability. Telematics reporting is still required to ensure that the CHC is operating in California Regulated Waters7.

4. Shore-side Electric Charging or Zero-Emission Bunkering Equipment Voucher enhancements are available for commercial harbor craft shore-side electric charging or zero-emission bunkering equipment. Only shore power supply systems accompanied by a vessel voucher are allowed. CORE will only fund shore power and charging components.

Vessel operators can select infrastructure components and equipment that are compatible with their CHC. Purchasers must receive a valid CORE CHC voucher to beeligible for a shore-side equipment voucher. The shore-side equipment voucher is applied for as part of the CHC voucher process. See section B. Voucher Amounts.

D. VOUCHER EXTENSIONS
Vouchers are valid for 730 calendar days from the voucher created date. Case-by-case voucher extension and CHC change requests, will be evaluated by the Project Administrator and CARBand may be granted beyond 730 calendar days. Commercial harbor craft voucher will not be renewed beyond 32 months (945 calendar days) from the voucher created date.

E. EQUIPMENT ELIGIBILITY APPLICATION
The CHC CORE Equipment Eligibility Application presents two distinct pathways for manufacturers to receive eligibility in the CORE project and be listed in the equipment catalog. One pathway is for manufacturers who seek to deploy new vessels and the second pathway is for conversion kits of existing vessels. This entails a series of steps, outlined in section G. New Vessel Pathway and Section H. Conversion Kit Pathway, Manufacturers must submit Attachment A: Equipment Eligibility Application. Please email completed applications to [email protected]. New vessels will be posted in the CORE equipment catalog, conversion kit manufacturers will be listed as an eligible manufacturer in the CORE equipment catalog.

1. Location
A manufacturer is not required to be located in California but must be able to meet the requirements as listed in Attachment A, Section A, Manufacturer and Equipment Information.

2. Service and Repair
A manufacturer has at least one service-and-repair facility in the State of California for the vessel. However, the following alternatives can satisfy this requirement:
a) Having a manufacturer-approved dealer with a service center within California or b) Offering service-and-repair training to fleets as part of an equipment or conversion-kit purchase and
c) Maintaining a team of factory-trained technicians that can respond to service and-repair requests within 72 hours.

F. EQUIPMENT CRITERIA
Eligible equipment must meet the requirements below and receive an Equipment Eligibility Letter from CARS as explained in the process above. 5 CORE Implementation Manual Attachment E (Release Date: June 11, 2024)

1. Warranty
The vessel must be covered by a warranty meeting the criteria, below:
a) The warranty period is, at a minimum, three years to cover the entire project participation period of the vessel or 6,500 usage hours (whichever comes first). b) For a vessel model, all applicable powertrain components (including, but not limited to, the energy storage system, fuel-cell stack, motors, and powertrain and thermal management systems); electronic components; telematicscomponents; on-board charging or fueling components; all components along driveline (except for maintenance items); and the vessel (including, but not limited to, the hull and cabin structure) shall be warranted against defects, workmanship, and corrosion for the full warranty period.

2. Eligible Vessel Designs
Commercial harbor craft in the CORE program must be both zero-emission and commercially ready8. Designs that have non-zero emissions equipment onboard to supplement the zero-emissions powertrain are not eligible for the CORE program. The CHC must perform work equivalent to an internal combustion powered piece of equipment with 19kW and the vessel type must be subject to the CHC Regulation as outlined in Section A of this Attachment.

3. Emergency Diesel
The CHC regulation requires vessels to be equipped with Zero Emission Advanced Technologies (ZEAT), such as short run ferries. These vessels may have emergency back up generators however, they are limited to 20 hours of operation per year for maintenance purposes unless there is a documentable emergency in which case the emergency operation hours would not count towards the 20 annual hours9.

4. Telematics
The CHC is installed with a telematics system that is capable of collecting and transmitting the parameters, below, to the manufacturer. Telematics data must include, at a minimum, the following parameters10:
i. Cumulative Time in Use (hours),
ii. Cumulative Energy Used (kwh),
8 Commercial-ready CRC model is one that has gone through sufficient testing and demonstration to ensure that it is a reliable and effective in its intended application(s). That is, a commercial ready CHC model is not a model that is still in the prototype or demonstration phase. Supporting documentation to demonstrate commercial-readiness (including, but not limited to, historical sales information, testing results, operational data, and user experience information) may be required to demonstrate commercial-readiness. 13 CCR 93118.5 (F)(lOl(B)2
10 CARB reserves the sole right to adjust the telematics criteria at anytime, including, but not limited to:
parameters collected, frequency of collection, and reporting format 6 CORE Implementation Manual Attachment E (Release Date: June 11, 2024) iii. Amount of time spent either docked or operating in (hours)11:

iv. Average Energy Discharge Rate During Non-Idle Operation (kW).

CARB, at its sole discretion, may allow a manufacturer to sell a limited number of CHC or conversion kits without a fully functional telematics system through this program. Suchallowance will depend on factors, such as whether the manufacturer has demonstrated a goodfaith effort to implement the telematics system, the capabilities of comparable products from other manufacturers, manufacturer and purchaser participation levels within the applicable equipment category, etc. If an allowance is granted, the manufacturer will be required to work with the Project Administrator to develop a plan that will lead to the implementation of an effective telematics system within a reasonable time frame.

Note: The Project Administrator will prepare quarterly reports for CARB presenting the data collected for items i. through iv., above, as applicable, through the duration of the project. The report may also include information on performance anomalies, recommendations for future data-collection activities, and recommendations to streamline the collection, storage, and analyses of future data sets. It is the manufacturers responsibility to ensure the required Telematics Reporting data is submitted (in the appropriate format) to the Project Administrator.

G. NEW VESSEL PATHWAY
Manufacturers must complete the following steps to have a new vessel listed in the Eligible Equipment Catalog on the CORE website and be eligible for voucher requests.

A manufacturer may also be the approved dealer for their CHC. If this is the case, then the manufacturer must also go through the dealer enrollment process and the equipment eligibility application. The manufacturer must be an approved dealer to be able to submit vouchers for the eligible equipment. See Section J of this attachment for the dealer enrollment process.

CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2024 AGENDA ITEM: 9
ORIGINATING DEP: Administration CITY MANAGER: Q(,( öL(
PREPARED BY: David Maistros, City Manager
SUBJECT: Law Enforcement Services Agreement with Los Angeles County RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): Adopt a resolution notifying the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors of the City’s desire to approve a five (5) year agreement to receive specified law enforcement services from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), authorizing the expenditure of COPS Grant Funds and authorize the City Manager to execute the City County Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement for the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029.

REPORT SUMMARY: The current Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement (MLESA) between the City of Avalon and the County of Los Angeles expired on June 30, 2024. A new five-year agreement has been drafted for the City Council’s review and approval, with the next term starting on July 1, 2024, and concluding on June 30, 2029.

Over the past year, a subcommittee from the California Contract Cities Association (CCCA), consisting of City Managers, collaborated with the County and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) to negotiate and revise the MLESA. The proposed agreement includes revisions that were mutually agreed upon by the County and the CCCA subcommittee. These revisions addressed specific concerns of the contract cities many of which are shared concerns of the City of Avalon.

The negotiations with the County did not resolve the City’s request for changes to liability and indemnity language prior to the renewal deadline. However, Section 5.4 to the MLESA was included stating that the subcommiftee and County will continue discussions intended to reviseliability and indemnity language to share in the financial exposure with the County instead of the current burden falling completely on the Liability Trust Fund, and by extension, the contract cities.

Under California Government Code Section 51301 et seq, the City has the authority to contract with the County for public safety services. The term of any such contract shall not exceed five years but may be renewed for subsequent five-year periods. The upcoming MLESA is a five year agreement that was recommended by the CCCA Subcommittee and approved by the County Supervisors on June 25, 2024.

According to California Government Code Section 51350, the County must charge the contracting city for all costs incurred under the agreement. This excludes any indirect overheadcharges or costs attributed to services provided countywide or are general county government operational overheads. Thus, the County’s Auditor/Controller established a complex formula to set the price of each contract service unit, and the Liability Trust Fund Claims Board1 determined the recommended funding level for the liability component based on an actuarial study. Together, these two components form the total cost per service unit assessed to the contract cities for each service unit procured.

The attached agreement (Attachment A) establishes the annual fee for Los Angeles County to provide law enforcement services to the City for FY24-25 to be $1,841,735.50 plus liability at

12.5% or$230,216.94 for a total annual cost of $2,071,952.44 for FY 24-25. This is a $249,534.92 increase over the FY 23-24 fee.

Changes to the 2024-2029 MLESA:

The MLESA includes several changes based on the contract cities negotiations which are beneficial to the City. The changes include:

Performance will be by Service Unit Rather than Overall — Agreement performance standard changes from one measure overall to several measures at the service unit level. As the MLESA performance is based on service minutes, the number of deputies and civilians procured by a city are translated into available minutes. This allows the County to mix and match minutes to achieve their 98-102% target but can lead to unintended consequences to underperform in areas like traffic, special assignment, or motor units.

Benefit: The change would set the 98-102% performance target for each specific unit — patrol, motor, special assignment deputies increasing accountability to cities receiving the level of service expected when procuring specific resources. As an example, overages in patrol minutes cannot be made up by reducing service levels of a motor unit or special assignment deputy and vice versa. • Retaining Vehicle of Deleted Service Unit — When a city adds a new resource that requires a vehicle (i.e. new deputy), the city incurs a significant first-year expense for the additional vehicle required for this new deputy. The maintenance and replacement costs of the vehicle are already integrated into the annual charge to the city if the city keeps the new deputy. While the LASD has a practice on this, the language of the MLESA was not explicit to protect a city from losing a deputy temporarily and then paying another new vehicle cost when the city restored the deputy. The MLESA adds language that a city can regain access to a vehicle procured with a new deputy service unit when the unit is deleted and restored within 24 months.

Benefit: This codifies the language and extends it from 12 to 24 months giving more flexibility for a city to avoid incurring a new vehicle cost. • Equipment Replacement after Extended Maintenance and Repair — Agreement requires that the County will make best efforts to provide a temporary replacement if the original equipment takes more than 60 days to be returned.

Benefit: The language strengthens the required effort the County must undertake to provide a replacement. A best effort would require the LASD to be more diligent in providing a replacement.
• Continue Negotiations on Indemnity Agreements — Agreement includes Section 5.4 which acknowledges indirectly the continued negotiations between the County and contract cities related to concerns that cities bear the full cost of liability for contract activities when the County should share in such liability. A Letter of Understandingbetween the County and the California Contract Cities Association outlines how both parties will work towards addressing concerns in several areas raised by contract cities.

Benefit: The language does not guarantee a change, but it recognizes a mutual interest in ensuring the long-term viability of the Liability Trust Fund and controlling the increasing burden placed on cities for activities a city does not control. The County controls aspects of law enforcement operations (i.e. training, supervision, hiring, discipline, etc.) and to some extent should incur some of the liability, such as when there is gross negligence not controllable by a city. Further negotiations are a positive step.

FISCAL IMPACTS: Contract amount of $2,071,952.44 is budgeted in the FY24-25 Budget, in the General Fund account 10240-5110.

CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City will not have an executed contract with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

FOLLOW UP ACTION: Execute Agreement and send to Contract City Law Enforcement Services.

ADVERTISING, NOTICE AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Pursuant to the Brown Act.
