CHANEY, J.

Diana Lejins and Angela Kimball (collectively,
Plaintiffs) filed a petition for writ of mandate in
the trial court, challenging a surcharge defendant
City of Long Beach (the City) imposes on its
water and sewer customers by embedding the
surcharge in the rates the Long Beach Water
Department (the Water Department) charges its
customers for service. The surcharge covers
transfers of funds from the Water Department to
the City's general fund, to be used for unrestricted
general revenue purposes. The City contends the
surcharge was legally imposed because it was
approved by a majority of the City's voters
pursuant to article XIII C of the California
Constitution. Plaintiffs argue notwithstanding
majority voter approval, the surcharge violates
article XIII D, which prohibits a local agency from
assessing a fee or charge "upon any parcel of
property or upon any person as an incident of
property ownership" unless the fee or charge
satisfies enumerated requirements the City
acknowledges were not met here. (Art. XIII D, §§
3, subd. (a) & 6, subd. (b).) The trial court entered
judgment in favor of Plaintiffs, concluding the
surcharge is unconstitutional and invalid under
article XIII D for the reason Plaintiffs advance. As
explained below, we agree with Plaintiffs'
argument and affirm the judgment and postjudgment order awarding attorney fees to Plaintiffs. *2
1 2 2
1 Undesignated article references are to the
California Constitution.
2 Plaintiffs also argue, and the trial court also
concluded, the surcharge is
unconstitutional and invalid under article
1 15
XI, section 7 to the extent the City collects
the surcharge from water and sewer utility
customers who receive service at a location
outside the City. We need not reach this
issue based on our holding the surcharge is
unconstitutional and invalid as to all
customers under article XIII D.

BACKGROUND
I. Proposition 218 - A Brief Overview
In 1996, California voters adopted Proposition
218, the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which
added articles XIII C and XIII D-the California
Constitution provisions the parties reference in
this action. As our Supreme Court has explained:"
'Proposition 218 can best be understood against its
historical background, which begins in 1978 with
the adoption of Proposition 13, '" which added
article XIII A. (Apartment Assn. of Los Angeles
County, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles (2001) 24
Cal.4th 830, 836 (Apartment Assn.).) Among other
things, Proposition 213" 'limited ad valorem
property taxes to 1 percent of a property's assessed
valuation and limited increases in the assessed
valuation to 2 percent per year unless and until the
property changed hands;'" it also prohibited local
governments" 'from enacting any special tax
without a two-thirds vote of the electorate.'" (Ibid.;
art. XIII A, §§ 1, 2 & 4.)
Article XIII D, added in 1996 by Proposition
218," 'allows only four types of local property
taxes: (1) an ad valorem property tax; (2) a special
tax; (3) an assessment; and (4) a fee or charge'" for
a property-related service. (Apartment Assn.,
supra, 24 Cal.4th at p. 837; art. XIII D, § 3, subd.
(a), ¶¶ (1)-(4).) Proposition 218" 'buttresses
Proposition 13's limitations on ad valorem
property taxes and special taxes by placing
analogous restrictions on assessments, fees, and
charges.'" (Ibid.) The parties here agree the
Measure M surcharge does not constitute an ad
valorem property tax, a special tax, or an
assessment; as discussed below, they disagree
whether it constitutes a fee or *3 charge "assessed
by any agency upon any parcel of property or
upon any person as an incident of property
ownership," subject to article XIII D's restrictions.
(Art. XIII D, § 3.) A "property-related fee [or
charge] violates article XIII D if [among other
things] the revenues derived from the fee [or
charge] exceed the amount required to provide the
property-related service [(art. XIII D, § 6, subd.
(b), ¶ (1))]"; "if revenues derived from the fee [or
charge] are used for any purpose other than that
for which it was imposed (see art. XIII D, § 6,
subd. (b)(2)) or if the fee [or charge] is imposed
for general governmental services (see art. XIII D,
§ 6, subd. (b)(5))." (Citizens for Fair REU Rates v.

City of Redding (2018) 6 Cal.5th 1, 14 (Redding).)
3 Article XIII C, added in 1996 by Proposition 218,
"restricts the authority of local governments to
impose taxes by, among other things, requiring
voter approval of all taxes imposed by local
governments." (City of San Buenaventura v.

United Water Conservation Dist. (2017) 3 Cal.5th
1191, 1200.) As defined in article XIII C, a
general tax is "any tax imposed for general
governmental purposes," and a special tax is "any
tax imposed for specific purposes, including a tax
imposed for specific purposes, which is placed
into a general fund." (Art. XIII C, § 1, subds. (a)
& (d).) "Article XIII C buttresses article XIII D by
limiting the other methods by which local
governments can exact revenue using fees and
taxes not based on real property value or
ownership." (Redding, supra, 6 Cal.5th at p. 10.)
"As a constitutional initiative, Proposition 218 is
binding upon charter cities," such as the City here.
(Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn. v. City of San
Diego (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 374, 391, italics

II. The City and Its Water Department
The City is governed by the Long Beach City
Charter (Charter), which created its Water
Department at article XIV, section 1400 et seq. of
the Charter. The City's Water Department, which
is not a legal entity separate from the City,
2 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 16 provides water and sewer services to most of the
City's residents and businesses and to a small
number of customers located in nearby cities or
unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. At
all relevant times, plaintiff Diana Lejins has
resided in the City and is a water and sewer
customer of the Water Department; and plaintiff
Angela Kimball has resided in an unincorporated
area of Los Angeles County and is a water
customer of the Water Department.

The Water Department is managed by a fivemember Board of Water Commissioners (the Board). (Charter, art. XIV, § 1400.) One of the
Board's powers, as provided in the Charter, is to
fix rates charged for water and sewer services. The
rates ultimately must be approved by the City
Council. (Id. at § 1403(5)-(6).) Monies collected
from customers for water service are accounted
for and initially maintained in the City's Water
Revenue Fund, and monies collected from
customers for sewer service are accounted for and
initially maintained in the City's Sewer Revenue
Fund. (Id. at §§ 1403(13) & 1407.)
As described in the record on appeal, there is a
long history in the City of transferring revenues
from the City's utilities to the City's general fund
to help support general City services, such as
police, fire, library, and parks.

III. Prior Litigation and Settlement
The City devised the surcharge at issue in this case
to account for a reduction of general fund revenue
that resulted *5 after Diana Lejins (one of the
plaintiffs in this case) sued the City in 2016 (in a
different case), challenging a pipeline permit fee
the City required the Water Department to pay to
the City's general fund to install and operate
pipelines and other facilities in the City's streets
and rights-of-way. The City established the
pipeline permit fee by ordinance, without approval
by the City's voters. The Water Department's
pipeline permit fee payments that were placed in
the City's general fund were treated as unrestricted
revenue. The Water Department, with City
Council approval, fixed its water and sewer rates
at a level to recoup the amount of the pipeline
permit fees from its customers.
5 On November 8, 2017, the City and Lejins settled
the pipeline permit fee lawsuit. The City agreed to
stop collecting pipeline permit fees from the Water
Department. The settlement also allowed the
Water Department to make payments to the City's
general fund to cover street repair and public
safety costs associated with the Water
Department's activities. The City commissioned
studies of such costs during the pipeline permit fee
litigation and determined payments to the general
fund to cover such costs would be less than the
amount the pipeline permit fee had generated for
the general fund. The City reduced water and
sewer rates accordingly, and agreed to transfer $12
million from the City's general fund to the Water
Department over approximately four years. On
December 5, 2017, the City Council adopted an
ordinance reducing water and sewer rates in
accordance with the settlement.

IV. Measure M and the Surcharge Embedded
in the Rates the Water Department Charges Its
Customers
In early 2018, the City Council held public
meetings to consider amending its Charter to
address the loss of general fund *6 revenue
resulting from the settlement of the pipeline
permit fee lawsuit-the amount which exceeded the
Water Department's payments to the City's general
fund to cover street repair and public safety costs
associated with the Water Department's activities.

During a January 10, 2018 meeting of the City's
Charter Amendment Committee and the City
Council there was discussion regarding the long
history in the City of transferring revenues from
the City's utilities to the City's general fund to help support general City services, such as police, fire,
library, and parks.
6 The City devised Measure M, which would amend
article XIV, section 1407 of the Charter to
authorize the Water Department to transfer to the
3 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 17 City's general fund any funds from the Water
Revenue Fund and/or the Sewer Revenue Fund
that the Board determined "to be unnecessary to
meet" other obligations of the Water Department,
not to exceed 12 percent of the "annual gross
revenues of the water works and sewer system,
respectively." (Charter, art. XIV, § 1407(5).)
Measure M would permit the City to use the
proceeds from these transfers for "unrestricted
general revenue purposes," as the City Council
may direct "by budget adoption or other
appropriation." (Id. at § 1407(6)-(7).) Measure M
would also authorize, but not require, the Board to
fix, and the City Council to approve, "water and
sewer rates in an amount sufficient to recover the
cost" of any transfers to the general fund that the
Board may make. (Id. at § 1407(8).) As set forth
in the City's opening brief on appeal, the purpose
of the Measure M revenue transfers was "to
provide financial support for general city
services."
On March 7, 2018, the City Council adopted a
resolution calling for the submission of the
proposed Charter amendment to *7 City voters at
the next general election. The Official Sample
Ballot for the general election at which Measure
M was approved asked voters the following: "To
maintain general City services like 9-1-1
emergency response, police/fire protection,
street/pothole repairs, senior services, parks and
libraries, shall the City of Long Beach amend its
Charter to authorize annual fund transfers from the
City's water, sewer and gas utilities to the General
Fund not to exceed 12% of utility gross revenues,
generating approximately $25, 500, 000 annually
for unrestricted general revenue purposes,
requiring annual independent audits, until ended
by voters?" An "Impartial Analysis of Measure
M" prepared by the city attorney described the
revenue to be transferred from the utilities to the
general fund under Measure M as "surplus"
revenue that is "not necessary to pay for a utility's
capital improvements, bond/debt service,
operations and maintenance, personnel, reserves,
and other costs." At the June 5, 2018 general
election, 53.76 percent of City voters approved
Measure M.
7 On June 21, 2018, the Board passed a resolution
fixing water and sewer rates effective October 1,
2018, raising rates for potable and recycled water
by 7.2 percent, and leaving sewer rates unchanged.

In a Notice of Public Hearing for an August 30,
2018 hearing, the Water Department informed
customers the proposed increase in water rates
was due to the following: "In June 2018, voters in
the city of Long Beach passed Measure M,
reauthorizing and affirming the City's historical
practice of revenue transfers from the City's
utilities to the General Fund, as approved by the
City Council and Board of Water Commissioners.

The revenue transfer is subject to a cap of twelve
percent (12%) of each utility's annual gross
revenues, as shown by audited *8 financial
reports. All proceeds from utility revenue transfers
to the General Fund shall be used to maintain local
General Fund services, which include general City
services such as police, fire and paramedic
response, street repair, parks, libraries and
youth/senior programs." On September 6, 2018,
the City Council passed Ordinance No. ORD-18-
0022, approving the rates fixed in the Board's June
21 resolution, including the potable and recycled
water rates that were increased by 7.2 percent to
fund the transfers to the City's general fund
authorized by Measure M.
8 The Measure M surcharge, which the City
characterizes as a general tax, is embedded in the
Water Department customers' utility service
charges and is not separately identified in the
Water Department's bills to customers. Thus, it is
not possible to discern from looking at the bills
what percentage of the customers' utility charges
make up the Measure M surcharge.

As the City explains in its opening brief on appeal,
the Measure M surcharge is "the part of the [water
and sewer] rates that raises unrestricted revenue
for the support of the City's general fund," not the
4 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 18 part of the rates that is "designed to recoup the
Water Department's costs of providing water and
sewer service." The City characterizes the
surcharge as a tax because it "exceeds the Water
Department's costs of providing water and sewer
service," as the City explains in its opening brief.

V. The Present Action
On October 22, 2018, Plaintiffs filed in this action
a verified petition for writ of mandate and
complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief,
asserting the Measure M surcharge violates article
XIII D, section 6, subdivision (b) because the rate
revenue collected through the surcharge "does not
benefit the water or sewer utility, is not used for
the provision of water and sewer *9 service, and is
not a reimbursement of costs incurred in the
General Fund for the benefit of the water and
sewer utilities. Instead, such rate revenue is used
for general governmental purposes." Plaintiffs
further asserted, to the extent the City contends the
Measure M surcharge is a general tax, article XIII
D, section 3, subdivision (a) "precludes local
governments from imposing general taxes upon
any parcel [of property] or upon any person as an
incident of property ownership."
9 By their first cause of action, Plaintiffs sought a
writ of mandate directing the City (1) to invalidate
the September 6, 2018 ordinance (Ordinance No.

ORD-18-002) approving utility rates that include
the Measure M surcharge; (2) to cease transferring
proceeds from the surcharge to the City's general
fund; (3) to return to the Water Department any
proceeds already so transferred; and (4) to cease
embedding the surcharge in water and sewer fees
and charges. In their second cause of action for
declaratory relief, Plaintiffs sought a judgment
declaring the City violated article XIII D, section
3, subdivision (a), and section 6, subdivision (b),
paragraphs (1)-(2) and (5), by imposing the
Measure M surcharge. In their third cause of
action for an injunction pursuant to Code of Civil
Procedure section 526a, Plaintiffs sought a
permanent injunction precluding Measure M
transfers of funds from the Water Department and
ordering the return to the Water Department of
previously-transferred funds. Finally, Plaintiffs
sought an award of attorney fees and costs.

After the City filed an answer to the petition for
writ of mandate and complaint, Plaintiffs filed a
motion asking the trial court to issue the requested
writ of mandate, declaration, and permanent
injunction. In their opening brief on the petition
for writ of mandate, Plaintiffs argued the Measure
M surcharge *10 violates article XIII D, section 3,
subdivision (a), and section 6, subdivision (b),
paragraphs (1)-(2) and (5), for the reasons asserted
in their petition, as summarized above.
10 3
3 Plaintiffs also argued the Measure M
surcharge violates article XI, section 7 to
the extent the City collects the surcharge
from water and sewer utility customers
who receive service at a location outside
the City. As stated above, we need not
reach this issue because we conclude the
surcharge is unconstitutional and invalid as
to all customers under article XIII D, for
the reasons set forth below.

In opposition to the petition for writ of mandate,
the City argued article XIII D is inapplicable to a
general tax imposed on the use of a propertyrelated service (water and sewer) after approval by a majority of the City's voters pursuant to article
XIII C. The City also conceded that to the extent a
court concludes the Measure M surcharge is a fee
or charge subject to article XIII D, the surcharge
does not comply with article XIII D's
requirements. The City's opposition brief below
states: "[T]he City concedes that the general fund
surcharges do not comply with article XIIID [sic],
section 6(b)'s substantive requirements; after all,
proceeds from the surcharges are not used to fund
the City's water and sewer services, and instead
are intended for 'general revenue purposes.' "
On January 2, 2020, the trial court held a hearing
on Plaintiff's petition for writ of mandate and
causes of action for declaratory and injunctive
5 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 19 relief. After hearing argument by the parties, the
court adopted its 24-page tentative ruling as its
final decision, with oral modifications as set forth
in the reporter's transcript of the hearing. The
court concluded the Measure M surcharge violates
article XIII D, section 6, subdivision (b) *11
because it "is a general tax imposed as an incident
of property ownership and not a charge based on
actual water usage. The surcharge is not required
to provide the water and sewer service [(art. XIII
D, § 6, subd. (b), ¶ (1))], is not used for that
service [(art. XIII D, § 6, subd. (b), ¶ (2))], and
only benefits the general community [(art. XIII D,
§ 6, subd. (b), ¶ (5))]." The court also concluded
the Measure M surcharge violates article XIII D,
section 3, subdivision (a) "because it is a charge as
an incident of property ownership that does not
fall under any of the enumerated exceptions" for a
permissible fee or charge. The court explained
article XIII D, section 3, subdivision (a) "ensures
that the only levies that can be imposed on
property ownership per se are an ad valorem tax, a
special tax, an assessment, or some other levy that
complies with the substantive requirements" of
article XIII D, section 6, subdivision (b), and the
Measure M surcharge does not fit within any of
these categories. (Italics omitted.) The court
rejected the City's contention that obtaining voter
approval of Measure M pursuant to article XIII C
rendered XIII D inapplicable to the surcharge,
stating in its decision, "The answer is that [article
XIII C] does not relieve the City from complying
with [article XIII D], which carries independent
constitutional requirements." Finally, the court
concluded the City's imposition of a general tax
(the Measure M surcharge) upon customers who
receive water and sewer services at locations
outside the City's boundaries violates article XI,
section 7.
11 On February 7, 2020, the trial court entered
judgment in favor of Plaintiffs and against the
City, providing (1) the Measure M general tax is
unconstitutional and invalid under article XIII D;
(2) the Measure M general tax is unconstitutional
and invalid under article XI, section 7, to the
extent the City collects the *12 surcharge from
water and sewer utility customers who receive
service at a location outside the City; (3) "any
transfers of the proceeds of the Measure M general
tax from the City's Water Revenue Fund and
Sewer Revenue Fund to its General Fund are
unconstitutional and invalid" under article XIII D;
and (4) "all City ordinances that establish and/or
fix water or sewer rates, including, but not limited
to, Ordinance No. 18-0022 and Ordinance No. 19-
0018 [the then-current water and sewer rate
ordinance, which became effective October 1,
2019], are unconstitutional and invalid to the
extent that they embed or otherwise impose the
Measure M general tax on the City's water and
sewer utility customers." The judgment enjoined
the City from making any further transfers of
Measure M proceeds to its general fund. The
judgment also ordered the issuance of a
peremptory writ of mandate. On February 11,
2020, the clerk of the trial court issued a
peremptory writ of mandate to the City,
commanding it to set aside or rescind Ordinance
No. ORD-19-0018 and return all prior transfers of
Measure M proceeds from the City's general fund
to the Water Revenue Fund and Sewer Revenue
Fund.
12 The City appealed from the judgment. Pursuant to
stipulation by the parties, the trial court stayed
enforcement of the peremptory writ of mandate
and the injunction, subject to certain enumerated
conditions, pending resolution of this appeal.

The parties stipulated to an award of attorney fees
to Plaintiffs. On May 27, 2020, the trial court
entered an order awarding attorney fees based on
the stipulation. The City appealed from the order,
seeking reversal of the attorney fees award to the
extent this court reverses the judgment in favor of
13 Plaintiffs on the merits. *13
Amicus curiae League of California Cities (Cal
Cities) filed in this appeal a brief in support of the
City, and Plaintiffs filed an answer to the amicus
6 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 20 curiae brief. Cal Cities describes itself as "an
association of 476 California cities dedicated to
protecting and restoring local control to provide
for the public health, safety, and welfare of their
residents and enhance the quality of life for all
Californians." We have considered this additional
briefing in analyzing the matter before us.

DISCUSSION
The City contends the trial court erred in
invalidating the Measure M surcharge, arguing "a
voter-approved general tax on the use of
municipal water and sewer service" is not a fee or
charge subject to article XIII D's restrictions. We
disagree with the City's interpretation of article
XIII D's scope and conclude the trial court
properly found in favor of Plaintiffs and against
the City.

I. Standard of Review
Whether the Measure M surcharge violates article
XIII D is a question of law that we review de novo
based on the undisputed facts. (Apartment Assn.,
supra, 24 Cal.4th at p. 836; Tesoro Logistic
Operations, LLC v. City of Rialto (2019) 40
Cal.App.5th 798, 806 (Tesoro).)
In construing article XIII D, "The aim of
constitutional interpretation is to determine and
effectuate the intent of those who enacted the
constitutional provision at issue. [Citation.] To
determine that intent, we begin by examining the
constitutional text . . . ." (Richmond v. Shasta
Community Services Dist. (2004) 32 Cal.4th 409,
418 (Richmond).)" 'The principals of
constitutional interpretation are similar to those
governing statutory construction.' [Citation.] If the
language [of the *14 constitutional text] is clear
and unambiguous, the plain meaning governs.
[Citation.] But if the language is ambiguous, we
consider extrinsic evidence in determining voter
intent, including the Legislative Analyst's analysis
and ballot arguments for and against the
initiative." (Silicon Valley Taxpayers' Assn., Inc. v.

Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008)
44 Cal.4th 431, 444-445 (Silicon Valley).) We
conclude the language of article XIII D is clear
and unambiguous. In evaluating the issue before
us, however, we quote California Supreme Court
authority, which references extrinsic evidence,
such as the Proposition 218 Legislative Analyst's
analysis.
14 II. The Measure M Surcharge Violates Article
XIII D
A. Article XIII D, section 3 Article XIII D,
section 3 provides:
"Property Taxes, Assessments, Fees and Charges
Limited. (a) No tax, assessment, fee, or charge
shall be assessed by any agency upon any parcel
of property or upon any person as an incident of
property ownership except:
"(1) The ad valorem property tax imposed
pursuant to Article XIII and Article XIII A.
"(2) Any special tax receiving a two-thirds vote
pursuant to Section 4 of Article XIII A.
"(3) Assessments as provided by this article.
"(4) Fees or charges for property related services
as provided in this article.
"(b) For purposes of this article, fees for the
provision of electrical or gas service shall not be
deemed charges or fees imposed as an incident of
property ownership."
The word "agency," as used in article XIII D
"means any local government," including a charter
city. (Art. XIII D, § 2, *15 subd. (a); art. XIII C, §
1, subd. (b).) "Property ownership" is defined in
article XIII D "to include tenancies of real
property where tenants are directly liable to pay
the assessment, fee, or charge in question." (Id. at
§ 2, subd. (g).) A "property-related service" for
purposes of article XIII D, "means a public service
having a direct relationship to property
ownership." (Id. at § 2, subd. (h).)
15 4
5 7
Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 21 4 Cal Cities asserts in its amicus curiae brief
that "voter approval takes [a tax, like the
Measure M surcharge, ] outside article XIII
D, as such a tax is not imposed by an
'agency,' but by voters." Not so. As our
Supreme Court has explained, when an
agency places a measure on the ballot for
voter approval-as the City did here-it is the
agency, not voters, that assesses or imposes
the tax, assessment, fee, or charge within
the meaning of article XIII D. (California
Cannabis Coalition v. City of Upland
(2017) 3 Cal.5th 924, 940-941, 942 ["that a
local government's imposition of a general
tax 'will not take effect' absent subsequent
approval by the voters" does not mean it is
the voters, as opposed to the local
government, who impose the tax].)
5 Thus, "article XIII D broadly defines
ownership to include rental interests."
(Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn. v. City of
Fresno (2005) 127 Cal.App.4th 914, 925,
fn. 3 (Fresno).)
B. Article XIII D, section 6
Article XIII D, section 6 provides, in pertinent
part:
"(b) Requirements for Existing, New or Increased
Fees and Charges. A fee or charge shall not be
extended, imposed, or increased by any agency
unless it meets all of the following requirements:
"(1) Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall
not exceed the funds required to provide the
16 property related service. *16
"(2) Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall
not be used for any purpose other than that for
which the fee or charge was imposed.
[¶] . . . [¶]
"(5) No fee or charge may be imposed for general
governmental services including, but not limited
to, police, fire, ambulance or library services,
where the service is available to the public at large
in substantially the same manner as it is to
property owners. . . . In any legal action contesting
the validity of a fee or charge, the burden shall be
on the agency to demonstrate compliance with this
article."
"Fee" or "charge," as used in article XIII D
"means any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a
special tax, or an assessment, imposed by an
agency upon a parcel or upon a person as an
incident of property ownership, including a user
fee or charge for a property related service." (Art.

XIII D, § 2, subd. (e).) As our Supreme Court has
explained, "Because article XIII D provides a
single definition that includes both 'fee' and
'charge,' those terms appear to be synonymous,"
and may be used interchangeably. (Bighorn-Desert
View Water Agency v. Verjil (2006) 39 Cal.4th 205,
214, fn. 4 (Bighorn).)
C. The City imposed the Measure M surcharge
as an incident of property ownership
As set forth above, article XIII D, section 3,
subdivision (a) prohibits an agency from assessing
a tax, fee, or charge "upon any parcel of property
or upon any person as an incident of property
ownership," with limited exceptions. Article XIII
D, section 6, subdivision (b) places restrictions on
an agency's imposition of a fee or charge "upon a
parcel or upon a person as an incident of property
ownership, including a user fee or charge *17 for a
property related service." (Art. XIII D, § 2, subd.
(e).) Whether the Measure M surcharge is imposed
upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of
property ownership is the key dispute between the
parties to be resolved in this appeal. The City has
acknowledged the Measure M surcharge does not
comply with article XIII D, section 6, subdivision
(b)'s requirements applicable to fees or charges
imposed upon a parcel or upon a person as an
incident of property ownership, as set forth more
fully below.
17 As our Supreme Court explained in Apartment
Assn., "article XIII D only restricts fees imposed
directly on property owners in their capacity as
such." (Apartment Assn., supra, 24 Cal.4th at p.
8 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 22 838.) "In other words, taxes, assessments, fees,
and charges are subject to the constitutional
strictures [of article XIII D] when they burden
landowners as landowners." (Id. at p. 842.) The
Supreme Court in Apartment Assn. concluded an
inspection fee imposed on private landlords by
city ordinance was not a fee upon a parcel or upon
a person as an incident of property ownership,
within the meaning of article XIII D, because the
fee was imposed on landlords "by virtue of their
ownership of a business-i.e., because they [were]
landlords," not because they were property
owners. (Apartment Assn., at p. 842.) The fee was
"imposed only on those landlords who [chose] to
engage in the residential rental business, and only
while they [were] operating the business." (Id. at
p. 840.) In other words, the fee was "imposed
because the property [was] being rented. It
cease[d] along with the business operation,
whether or not ownership remain[ed] in the same
hands." (Id. at p. 838; cf. Tesoro, supra, 40
Cal.App.5th 798, 801, 814 ["an 'annual business
license tax' of 'up to One Dollar [($1.00)] per year
for each One (1) cubic foot of *18 liquid storage
capacity' on '[a]ny person engaged in the business
of owning[, ] operating, leasing, supplying[, ] or
providing a wholesale liquid fuel storage facility'
in the City" violated article XIII D, section 3
because it was "a tax on real property and on
persons, namely, owners of wholesale liquid fuel
storage facilities, as an incident of owning the
facilities," "regardless of whether the facilities or
the storage tanks [were] used in any business
operations," and no exception set forth in section 3
applied].)
18 The City characterizes the Measure M surcharge
as a valid "utility users tax, or an excise tax levied
on the use of utility services-including water and
sewer service." The City argues the surcharge is
not imposed upon a parcel or upon a person as an
incident of property ownership, within the
meaning of article XIII D, because one may own
real property without obtaining water or sewer
service. Case law does not support the City's view.

In Richmond, supra, 32 Cal.4th 409, our Supreme
Court held "a charge that a local water district
imposed as a condition of making a new
connection to the water system, and that the
district used to finance capital improvements to
the water system," was not subject to article XIII
D's restrictions, as the district did not "impose the
capacity charge on real property as such, but on
individuals who apply for new service
connections." (Richmond, at pp. 415, 420.) The
Court "conclude[d] that a water service fee is a fee
or charge under article XIII D if, but only if, it is
imposed 'upon a person as an incident of property
ownership.' (Art. XIII D, § 2, subd. (e).) A fee for
ongoing water service through an existing
connection is imposed 'as an incident of property
ownership' because it requires nothing other than
*19 normal ownership and use of property. But a
fee for making a new connection to the system is
not imposed 'as an incident of property ownership'
because it results from the owner's voluntary
decision to apply for the connection." (Richmond,
at p. 427.)
19 The Court in Richmond explained that the
Proposition 218 "Legislative Analyst apparently
concluded that water service has a direct
relationship to property ownership, and thus is a
property-related service within the meaning of
article XIII D because water is indispensable to
most uses of real property; because water is
provided through pipes that are physically
connected to the property; and because a water
provider may, by recording a certificate, obtain a
lien on the property for the amount of any
delinquent service charges [citation]. But the
Legislative Analyst was apparently referring to
fees imposed on existing water service customers,
not fees imposed as a condition of initiating water
service in the first instance.
"Several provisions of article XIII D tend to
confirm the Legislative Analyst's conclusion that
charges for utility services such as electricity and
water should be understood as charges imposed 'as
an incident of property ownership.' For example,
9 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 23 subdivision (b) of section 3 provides that 'fees for the provision of electrical or gas service shall not
be deemed charges or fees imposed as an incident
of property ownership' under article XIII D. Under
the rule of construction that the expression of
some things in a statute implies the exclusion of
other things not expressed [citation], the
expression that electrical and gas service charges
are not within the category of property-related fees
implies that similar charges for other utility
services, such as water and sewer, are propertyrelated fees subject to the *20 restrictions of article XIII D." (Richmond, supra, 32 Cal.4th at pp. 426-
427.)
20 In Bighorn, supra, 39 Cal.4th 205, a case in which
our Supreme Court held article XIII C, section 3
"grants local voters a right to use the initiative
power to reduce the rate that a public water district
charges for domestic water," the Court cited with
approval the above-quoted principles from its
opinion in Richmond. (Bighorn, at pp. 209, 214-
215.) In analyzing the issue presented to it under
article XIII C, the Court in Bighorn reiterated its
conclusion in Richmond "that a public water
agency's charges for ongoing water delivery . . .
are fees and charges within the meaning of article
XIII D." (Bighorn, at p. 216.)
In Fresno, supra, 127 Cal.App.4th 914, the Fifth
District Court of Appeal relied on the Supreme
Court's analysis in Richmond in concluding a fee"
'in lieu of property and other taxes normally
placed upon private business, '" imposed "by
Fresno on its utility departments and divisions,
and passed through to ratepayers [by blending it
into the user fees], [was] a fee subject to the
restrictions of article XIII D, section 6" because it
was imposed as an incident of property ownership.
(Fresno, at pp. 917, 918, 925, 926.) The appellate
court rejected Fresno's argument-identical to the
City's argument here-that the fee was" 'imposed on
the use of utility services, '" rather than" 'solely on the basis of property ownership.' " (Id. at p. 925;
see *21 also Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn. v.

City of Roseville (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 637, 647
[Third District Court of Appeal held article XIII D
applied to in lieu franchise fee of four percent on
water, sewer, and refuse collection utilities' annual
budgets, paid by ratepayers and transferred to
Roseville's general fund, as the fee was
"necessarily tied to property ownership"]; Crawley
v. Alameda County Waste Management Authority
(2015) 243 Cal.App.4th 396, 408 ["Ordinance's
fee for the collection of household hazardous
waste is imposed 'as an incident of property
ownership'" because it is imposed on each
household in the county and" 'vacant [h]ouseholds
also require household hazardous waste collection
and disposal in connection with property
improvements, maintenance, or landscaping.'
Thus, the fee requires nothing other than normal
ownership and use of property"].)
6 21
6 The City attempts to distinguish Fresno
based on differences between Fresno's
charter and the City's charter, for example,
the fact Fresno's charter expressly
prohibited Fresno from taxing any person
for using a utility service. (Fresno, supra,
127 Cal.App.4th at p. 926.) The facts the
City cites are not germane to our analysis
of whether the Measure M surcharge is
imposed upon a parcel or upon a person as
an incident of property ownership, and
violates article XIII D, and we need not
address such facts further.

Following our Supreme Court's guidance, we
conclude the City imposed the Measure M
surcharge upon a parcel or upon a person as an
incident of property ownership, within the
meaning of article XIII D. "A fee for ongoing
water service through an existing connection is
imposed 'as an incident of property ownership'
because it requires nothing other than normal
ownership and use of property." (Richmond,
supra, 32 Cal.4th at p. 427.) Because the Measure
M surcharge therefore qualifies as a "levy other
than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an
assessment, imposed by an agency upon a parcel
or upon a person as an incident of property
22 ownership, including a user fee *22 or charge for a
10 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 24 property related service," it satisfies the definition of "fee" or "charge" in article XIII D. (Art. XIII D,
§ 2, subd. (e).)
D. The Measure M surcharge must comply
with article XIII D, section 6, subdivision (b)'s
requirements regardless of voter approval
As set forth above, and as relevant to the parties'
dispute here, article XIII D, section 6, subdivision
(b) requires that "[r]evenues derived from the fee
or charge shall not exceed the funds required to
provide the property related service"; "[r]evenues
derived from the fee or charge shall not be used
for any purpose other than that for which the fee
or charge was imposed"; and "[n]o fee or charge
may be imposed for general governmental
services, including but not limited to, police, fire,
ambulance or library services, where the service is
available to the public at large in substantially the
same manner as it is to property owners." (Art.

XIII D, § 6, subd. (b), ¶¶ (1), (2) & (5).)
The City argues article XIII D, section 6,
subdivision (b)'s restrictions on fees and charges
are inapplicable to the surcharge at issue here
because Measure M was approved by a majority
of the City's voters pursuant to article XIII C,
which requires voter approval of taxes imposed by
local governments. There is no language in article
XIII C or article XIII D that supports the City's
argument. Article XIII D makes clear that
regardless of whether the imposition is
characterized as a tax, assessment, fee, or charge,
if it is imposed upon a parcel of property or upon a
person as an incident of property ownership-as we
have concluded the Measure M surcharge is-it
must satisfy one of the exceptions to the
prohibition on an agency's imposition of a tax,
assessment, fee, or charge upon a parcel of
property or upon a person as an incident of
property ownership, enumerated in *23 article XIII
D, section 3. The only exception relevant here is a
fee or charge for a property-related service that
complies with the requirements of article XIII D,
section 6, subdivision (b). (Art. XIII D, § 3, subd.
(a), ¶ (4).) There is no exception for a voterapproved tax, assessment, fee, or charge imposed upon a parcel of property or upon a person as an
incident of property ownership that does not
satisfy one of the four enumerated exceptions in
article XIII D, section 3, subdivision (a). Indeed,
article XIII D, section 6, subdivision (c) has its
own voter approval requirements for certain
property-related fees and charges (not applicable
here), which do not obviate subdivision (b)'s
requirements for a valid property-related fee or
charge. (Art. XIII D, § 6, subd. (c) ["Voter
Approval for New or Increased Fees and Charges.

Except for fees or charges for sewer, water, and
refuse collection services, no property related fee
or charge shall be imposed or increased unless and
until that fee or charge is submitted and approved
by a majority of the property owners of the
property subject to the fee or charge or, at the
option of the agency, by a two-thirds vote of the
electorate residing in the affected area"].)
23 7
7 The other exceptions to the prohibition on
an agency's imposition of a tax,
assessment, fee, or charge upon a parcel of
property or upon a person as an incident of
property ownership are for an ad valorem
property tax, a special tax receiving a twothirds vote, and an assessment. (Art. XIII D, § 3, subd. (a), ¶¶ (1)-(3).) The City does
not dispute that none of these other
exceptions applies here.

Thus, voter approval of Measure M pursuant to
article XIII C does not rescue the City from an
independent constitutional violation of article XIII
D. (See Silicon Valley, supra, 44 Cal.4th at p. 449
["voter consent cannot convert an unconstitutional
*24 legislative assessment into a constitutional
one"].) The cases the City cites in support of its
position are inapposite.
24 For example, in Capistrano Taxpayers Assn. v.

City of San Juan Capistrano (2015) 235
Cal.App.4th 1493 (Capistrano), the Fourth
District Court of Appeal held Proposition 218
allows "public water agencies to pass on to their
11 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 25 customers the capital costs of improvements to
provide additional increments of water," but
Proposition 218 also "requires public water
agencies to calculate the actual costs of providing
water at various levels of usage" under article XIII
D, section 6, subdivision (b), paragraph (3)-a
provision not pertinent to the parties' dispute here.
(Capistrano, at p. 1497.) The City relies on
Capistrano for the following dicta set forth in the
conclusion of the appellate court's opinion:
"The way Proposition 218 operates, water rates
that exceed the cost of service operate as a tax,
similar to the way a 'carbon tax' might be imposed
on use of energy. But, we should emphasize: Just
because such above-cost rates are a tax does not
mean they cannot be imposed-they just have to be
submitted to the relevant electorate and approved
by the people in a vote. There is no reason, for
example, why a water district or local government
cannot, consistent with Proposition 218, seek the
approval of the voters to impose a tax on water
over a given level of usage-as we indicated earlier,
that might be a good idea. However, if a local
government body chooses to impose tiered rates
unilaterally without a vote, those tiers must be
based on cost of service for the incremental level
of usage, not predetermined budgets. (For the
moment, of course, we need not decide whether
such a proposed tax would constitute a general *25
tax or special tax.)" (Capistrano, supra, 235
Cal.App.4th at p. 1515.)
25 The court in Capistrano did not analyze the tax it
proposed to determine if it might qualify as a valid
special tax under article XIII D, section 3,
subdivision (a), and we have no cause to engage in
that undertaking. Suffice it to say, we conclude the
Measure M surcharge at issue here is a fee or
charge imposed upon a parcel of property or upon
a person as an incident of property ownership, that
was not approved by two-thirds of the City's
voters (and is not an ad valorem tax or an
assessment), and therefore must comply with
article XIII D, section 6, subdivision (b)'s
requirements in order to be valid. (Art. XIII D, §
3, subd. (a).)
The City also cites Redding, supra, 6 Cal.5th 1, a
case in which our Supreme Court concluded an
electric utility's transfer of utility funds to
Redding's general fund did not result in an
increase in rates customers paid, and the
customers' rates did not exceed the reasonable
costs of providing electric service, so voter
approval of the rates was not required pursuant to
article XIII C. (Redding, at pp. 4-5, 15.) In
analyzing the issue, the Supreme Court did not
interpret article XIII D. As set forth above, article
XIII D expressly states: "For purposes of this
article, fees for the provision of electrical or gas
service shall not be deemed charges or fees
imposed as an incident of property ownership."
(Art. XIII D, § 3, subd. (b).) Nonetheless, the City
cites the following language the Court used in
Redding in discussing article XIII C in relation to
the facts of that case: "[F]or any service charge to
which the article [art. XIII C] applies, a local
government must either charge a rate that does not
exceed the reasonable costs of providing the
service or obtain voter approval for rates that
exceed *26 costs." (Redding, at p. 18, italics
added.) This language has no applicability here, as
charges for water and sewer service-like those at
issue here-are not excluded from article XIII D's
definition of fee or charge.
26 E. The City has conceded the Measure M
surcharge is not a valid fee or charge under
article XIII D, as it does not comply with
subdivision (b)'s requirements
The City has acknowledged that to the extent
article XIII D applies to the Measure M surchargeas we concluded above- the surcharge is unconstitutional because it does not comply with
article XIII D, section 6, subdivision (b)'s
requirements. The City's opposition brief in the
trial court states: "[T]he City concedes that the
[Measure M] general fund surcharges do not
12 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 26 comply with article XIIID [sic], section 6(b)'s
substantive requirements; after all, proceeds from
the surcharges are not used to fund the City's
water and sewer services, and instead are intended
for 'general revenue purposes.'" Similarly, the
City's opening brief on appeal asserts: "Because
the proceeds of a general tax [referring to the
Measure M surcharge] are used for general
governmental purposes [citation], and the
proceeds of a 'fee' or 'charge' may only be used to
provide the service for which the 'fee' or 'charge' is
collected [citing art. XIII D, § 6, subd. (b), par.
(2)], general taxes can never satisfy the
substantive limitations applicable to 'fees' and
'charges.' "
The City made no attempt to prove the Measure M
surcharge complies with article XIII D, section 6,
subdivision (b)'s requirements, relying instead and
solely on its argument article XIII D does not
apply to a voter-approved general tax imposed on
the use of municipal water and sewer services, an
argument we *27 have rejected. For example, the
City did not attempt to demonstrate any
correlation between the Measure M transfers from
the Water Department to the City's general
fund/the Measure M surcharge, and the costs to
the City associated with the Water Department's
use of the City's infrastructure. (See art. XIII D, §
6, subd. (b), ¶ (1) ["Revenues derived from the fee
or charge shall not exceed the funds required to
provide the property related service"].) As the
record before us shows, and the City
acknowledges in its briefing, the purpose of
Measure M is to raise unrestricted revenue to
support a variety of municipal services (9-1-1
emergency response, police/fire protection,
street/pothole repairs, senior services, parks, and
libraries), not to reimburse the City for costs
associated with the Water Department's use of the
City's infrastructure.
27 In this regard, the matter before us is
distinguishable from Wyatt v. City of Sacramento
(2021) 60 Cal.App.5th 373, a recent Third District
Court of Appeal case on which the City relies in
support of its contention a city's voter-approved
general tax on utility services, to fund transfers to
the city's general fund, does not violate article XIII
D. In Wyatt, Sacramento argued-and the Court of
Appeal concluded Sacramento proved-a voterapproved mandatory 11 percent tax Sacramento imposed on utilities' revenues was a cost of
providing services that the utilities could pass on
to ratepayers without violating article XIII D,
section 6, subdivision (b). (Wyatt, at pp. 378, 380,
383.) We express no opinion on whether Wyatt
was correctly decided. We note only that Wyatt's
analysis is inapplicable to the case before us
because the City here never argued, and there is
nothing in the record indicating, the Measure M
transfers and/or surcharge were in *28 any way
related to the costs of providing water and sewer
services.
28 As it pertains to whether the City proved-or even
attempted to prove-the Measure M surcharge
complies with article XIII D, section 6,
subdivision (b)'s requirements, this case is more
similar to Fresno, supra, 127 Cal.App.4th 914,
where the Court of Appeal explained: "On the
current record . . . Fresno has not even claimed the
in lieu fee approximates the cost of city services to
the utility departments and divisions, much less
has it established such a relationship as a fact. (See
art. XIII D, § 6, subd. (b)(5) [allocating to
governmental agency burden to demonstrate
compliance with art. XIII D].) Accordingly, the
trial court correctly issued an injunction to
prohibit Fresno from collecting the current 1
percent in lieu fee from the water, wastewater, and
solid waste divisions of the department of public
utilities." (Fresno, at p. 927.)
Based on the City's concessions that the Measure
M surcharge does not comply with article XIII D,
section 6, subdivision (b)'s requirements, and the
absence of anything in the record before us
indicating such compliance, we need not address
this issue further. The Measure M surcharge is a
fee or charge within the meaning of article XIII D,
section 6, and the City has not carried its burden
13 Lejins v. City of Long Beach B305134 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2021) 27 of demonstrating compliance with subdivision
(b)'s requirements. (Art. XIII D, § 6, subd. (b), ¶
(5) ["In any legal action contesting the validity of
a fee or charge, the burden shall be on the agency
to demonstrate compliance with this article"].)
Thus, we hold the Measure M surcharge is
unconstitutional because it violates article XIII D.

The City and Cal Cities assert the invalidation of
the Measure M surcharge on these grounds will
mean the *29 invalidation of numerous taxes
imposed by local governments throughout
California. The only tax, fee, or charge before us
is the Measure M surcharge. We express no
opinion on the validity of taxes not before us.
29 Because we conclude the Measure M surcharge
violates article XIII D as to all Water Department
customers, for the reasons explained above, we
need not determine whether the trial court
correctly decided the surcharge also violates
article XI, section 7 to the extent the City collects
the surcharge from water and sewer utility
customers who receive service at a location
outside the City. And because we affirm the
judgment on the merits, we have no cause to
reverse the stipulated award of attorney fees to
Plaintiffs.

DISPOSITION
The judgment and post-judgment order awarding
attorney fees are affirmed. Respondents are
entitled to recover costs on appeal.

Subject: RE: [Document Released to Requester] City of Hermosa Beach public records request #21-79 Lt. Phillips:

Thank you for confirming my observation that I was not provided a record of the watch commander log for my 3/15/14 attack.
“We no longer have a copy of the graveyard activity report for 3/16/14” is unacceptable. It creates the perception of impropriety, as this is too much of a coincidence.

I highly recommend you try harder to locate the activity report. I am sure there are redundant systems in place that include a hard copy and a digital copy for this exact reason.

Please do what you can by the next City Council meeting, where I will be addressing this issue.

If you are unable to locate the 3/16/14 activity log, I will be forced to make a public records request for all activity reports six months before and six months after 3/16/14 in order to count the other missing activity reports. With that data, I can calculate the statistical probability of you no longer having a copy of the 3/16/14 activity log.

Very respectfully,

Subject: RE: [Document Released to Requester] City of Hermosa Beach public records request #21-79 Good morning Mr. McCool,
As you know, the incident on 3/15/14 was documented in a crime report by Sgt. Ramirez.

At the time of the incident, the Watch Commander’s Daily Activity Report for the graveyard shift was evenly split between two dates and it was dated using the second half of the shift. For example, if the graveyard shift started on Friday, March 14, 2014 at 6pm and ended on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 6am, the activity report would be dated as 3/15/14. The documents you received included the activity reports for:
3/15/14 Graveyard – Beginning on 3/14/14 at 6pm and ending on 3/15/14 at 6am 3/15/14 Dayshift – Beginning on 3/15/14 at 6am and ending on 3/15/14 at 6pm 3/16/14 Dayshift – Beginning on 3/16/14 at 6am and ending on 3/16/14 at 6pm 3/17/14 Graveyard – Beginning on 3/16/14 at 6pm and ending on 3/17/14 at 6am 39 3/17/14 Dayshift – Beginning on 3/17/14 at 6am and ending on 3/14/14 at 6pm The incident involving you was reported to Sgt. Ramirez on 3/15/14 at 6:24pm so it may have been included in the graveyard activity report dated 3/16/14. We no longer have a copy of the graveyard activity report for 3/16/14 so I cannot say if it was included in that report or not.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

REPORT 22-0037
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of January 25, 2022

FINDINGS TO HOLD REMOTE TELECONFERENCE/MEETINGS,
PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 361
(Interim City Clerk Susan Morrow)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council authorize remote teleconference/virtual meetings of all City of Hermosa Beach legislative bodies in accordance with Assembly Bill 361 (“AB 361”), by finding that:
(1) a statewide state of emergency is currently in place; (2) state and local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19; and meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

Background:

All meetings of the City’s legislative bodies are subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code §§ 54950 et seq.) and must be open and public so that any member of the public may attend and participate in the meetings. Commencing in March of 2020, Governor Newsom issued a series of executive orders aimed at preventing the spread of a respiratory disease that came to be known as the novel coronavirus, “COVID-19.” Among these were Executive Orders (“EO”) N-25-20, N-29-20, and N-35-20 (collectively, the “Brown Act Orders”) that waived the teleconferencing requirements of the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to meet virtually.

On June 11, 2021, the Governor issued EO N-08-21 to begin winding down some of the prior measures that were adopted to respond to COVID-19. Notably, EO N-08-21 rescinded the Brown Act Orders, effective September 30, 2021. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361, which became effective October 1, 2021, and amended the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to meet virtually, without following the Brown Act’s standard teleconferencing rules, provided that the legislative body makes specific findings, which include the following:

1. A statewide state of emergency is currently in place;

2. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19; and/or

3. Meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

Continued compliance with AB 361 would require City Council to approve the action making the City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 2 Printed on 5/24/2023
powered by Legistar™ 99
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0037
Continued compliance with AB 361 would require City Council to approve the action making the required findings at least every 30 days.

Discussion:

All three findings under AB 361 can be made given the current circumstances. The Governor has proclaimed a state of emergency in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The state of emergency currently remains in effect.

Further, State officials, including the California Department of Public Health, have recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19, which are currently in place. Similarly, local officials, including the County Public Health Officer, have also recommended measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID -19. In a recommendation dated September 28, 2021, the County Public Health Officer stated that “utilizing teleconferencing options for public meetings is an effective and recommended social distancing measure to facilitate participation in public affairs and encourage participants to protect themselves and others from the COVID-19 disease.” Finally, the City has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. Accordingly, all of the above-referenced AB 361 findings currently exist.

If City Council thus desires to allow virtual meetings in order to both ensure the health and safety of the public, the legislative bodies of the City, and City staff, as well as continuity of government in allowing regularly-scheduled meetings to continue to occur without interruption, staff recommends City Council authorize virtual/teleconference meetings by making the findings set forth above.

Alternative:

If City Council does not make the findings pursuant to AB 361, the City would have to conduct its public meetings for City Council and other public boards and commissions in person and not have the option of conducting its meetings via teleconferencing.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

APPROVAL OF THE COMMENCEMENT OF SPECIAL EVENT LONG-TERM AGREEMENT

NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE COMMUNITY CHANUKAH

CELEBRATION AND THE GREAT AUTOS OF YESTERYEAR FOR THE ENDLESS SUMMER

CLASSIC CAR SHOW
(Community Resources Manager Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve the commencement of special event long-term agreement negotiations with the following organizations:

1. The Jewish Community Center for its Community Chanukah Celebration; and

2. The Great Autos of Yesteryear for its Endless Summer Classic Car Show.

Executive Summary:

The City Council approved implementation of the special event long-term agreement (LTA) policy pilot program for a three-year period commencing with the 2020 event calendar. Considering the cancellation of events in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council extended the policy’s pilot program by one year, ending with the 2023 event calendar. Staff received LTA applications from the Jewish Community Center for its Community Chanukah Celebration and the Great Autos of Yesteryear for its Endless Summer Classic Car Show. The Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) reviewed the applications and recommends City Council approval to commence LTA agreement negotiations with the Jewish Community Center for its annual Community Chanukah Celebration, and the Great Autos of Yesteryear for its Endless Summer Classic Car Show.

Background:

On December 3, 2019, the Commission recommended that City Council approve the proposed special event LTA policy as a three-year pilot program, scheduled to begin with the 2020 event calendar. Additionally, the Commission recommended that City Council affirm and request that the Commission review and provide an update on the policy in two years, in advance of entering the pilot program’s third and final year. The City Council formally approved the Commission’s recommended policy and subsequent review at its January 14, 2020 meeting.

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0036
Considering the cancellation of large gatherings and events in 2020, the Commission recommended that City Council extend the special event LTA policy pilot program by one year at its August 4, 2020 meeting. The City Council approved the Commission’s recommendation at its October 27, 2020 meeting. Therefore, the Commission is due to review the policy in 2022, instead of in 2021. The three -year policy pilot program would then be completed in 2023, at which time the Commission would recommend its permanent implementation with or without modifications.

At its January 4, 2022 meeting, the Commission reviewed LTA applications from the Jewish Community Center for its Community Chanukah Celebration and the Great Autos of Yesteryear for its Endless Summer Classic Car Show. Following its review, the Commission recommended the commencement of LTA negotiations with the Jewish Community Center for its annual Community Chanukah Celebration, and the Great Autos of Yesteryear for its Endless Summer Classic Car Show.

Staff received LTA applications from the Jewish Community Center for its Community Chanukah Celebration on November 4, 2021 and the Great Autos of Yesteryear for its Endless Summer Classic Car Show on November 29, 2021. As required by the LTA policy, the Commission reviewed the applications at its January 4, 2022 meeting and recommended City Council approve the commencement of special event long-term agreement negotiations with the Jewish Community Center and the Great Autos of Yesteryear. If City Council affirms the Commission’s recommendation to proceed, staff would begin negotiating with both organizations and return to City Council for formal adoption of the final agreements.

Included in Table 1 are the Jewish Community Center’s and the Great Autos of Yesteryear’s date requests for consideration.

Endless Summer Classic Car Show
Long Term Agreement Application
By David Freedman
Show Coordinator
From the application:

In order for an organization to be eligible for consideration of a longterm agreement, its event(s) must satisfactorily meet at least three of the following:

The event(s) must qualify as an Impact Level II or III (per the Impact Worksheet found in the Special Event Application) event, AND at least one of the following:
□ Have a combined estimated total of 5,000 people in attendance; or □ The event must be at least two (2) consecutive days (including setup and teardown).

The show is determined to be an impact Level II.

We do not track the number of people in attendance because the car show is an open, free show but it is reasonable to estimate that during the course of the day-long show, we have over 5000 people entering the plaza and enjoying the beautiful classic cars.
□ Have held its event in Hermosa Beach for at least three consecutive years and can demonstrate a positive and differentiated impact to the city including substantive and measurable economic and community benefits;
115
The show has taken place for 21 consecutive years with the exception of 2020 due to COVID. Because the show occurs in early May, it brings pedestrians to Hermosa Beach and the Plaza during a time of the year that people would not regularly consider going to the beach, resulting in increased economic benefits. The long-term sponsors of the show, such as Hennessey’s Tavern and Baja Sharkeez has consistently stated that they far busier on the car show day, that the previous or following weekend.
□ The event must be produced by an organization that serves, involves, and/or promotes Hermosa Beach’s coastal lifestyle, its residents, schools, and/or businesses;
The sponsoring classic car club, Great Autos of Yesteryear was founded in Los Angeles and convertibles and woodies have been a part of the beach culture for as long as there have been cars. On a sunny, cool, early May Saturday, there is nothing finer than enjoying a free and diverse classic car show while reveling in the delicious food and beautiful sites offered on the Plaza in Hermosa Beach.
□ The organization or event producer must be able to demonstrate how its programs (outside of those provided at the event) provide a positive impact to the City including enhancements to quality of life to the Hermosa Beach community; or the offering of recreational, cultural, social, and/or educational activities of interest to the community.

The sponsoring classic car club, Great Autos of Yesteryear, is the largest LGBT classic car club in the world, yet many of our members, and participants in this show, are straight-identified, making this show and the numerous classic car shows and classic car cruise-ins sponsored by the club, a shining example of diversity, equality and friendship, all bound by the love of classic cars.
116
I personally have made lifelong friends through this show, straight and gay identified, many of them local to my hometown of Hermosa Beach and the South Bay, and consider my life enriched as a result. But it is the smiles on peoples’ faces as they enter the Plaza and see the classic cars, that is the ultimate sign of the importance and success of this show.

With Warmest Regards,
David Freedman

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of January 25, 2022

APPROVAL OF FINAL PLANS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT 689 CLARK BUILDING RENOVATIONS
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve the Clark Building Renovations final plans; and

2. Appropriate $747,033 from the Capital Improvement Fund to the CIP 689 project budget for the construction phase of the project.

Executive Summary:

Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 689 Clark Building Renovations provides for a full renovation of the Clark Building. The renovation includes remodeling of the kitchen area complete with new appliances; remodeling the restrooms and ballroom area; the addition of air conditioning, heating, and solar panels; acoustical improvements; new lighting throughout; a new sewer lateral; and full Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance for both the interior and exterior of the building.

Approval of the final design plans and appropriation of $747,033 from the Capital Improvement Fund would allow staff to move forward with the bidding process to complete construction of the project.

Background:

The Clark Building was constructed in 1936, adjoining Clark Stadium and the Lawn Bowling Facility.

The building houses a ballroom, two storage rooms, two restrooms, a small stage, and kitchen. The Clark Building is currently used for nonprofit, community, school, and civic organization meetings and gatherings, as well as private parties.

Over the years, the building has undergone various refurbishments. Most recently in 2008, City Council approved CIP 641, which included painting of the exterior of the building, replacement of windows and doors.

At its June 15, 2017 meeting, with the adoption of the FY 2017-18 budget, City Council approved CIP 689, with the purpose of remodeling the kitchen, making minor restroom upgrades, and painting the City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 5 Printed on 5/24/2023

REPORT 22-0034
689, with the purpose of remodeling the kitchen, making minor restroom upgrades, and painting the interior of the building. Under the original project scope, the bulk of the work was to be done by City maintenance crews with a budget of just $165,000. On June 12, 2018, with the adoption of the FY 2018-19 budget, City Council increased the project’s total budget to $475,100 to cover a larger scope of work including heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) system, new lighting in the ballroom space, and new ADA access to the building. The current project detail sheet for CIP 689 is included as Attachment 1.

At its July 3, 2018 meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission reviewed preliminary designs for the Clark Building kitchen. The Commission recommended the kitchen design be part of a facility-wide design to include the ballroom and restroom space and that the designs consider both existing and potential future uses of the facility. Additionally, the Commission recommended the involvement of subcommittees from both the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission and the Public Works Commission in design development.

On May 28, 2020, staff selected one of the City’s on-call consultants, The Albert Architect Group (Architect) to design the Clark Building Renovations. The cost of these design services is $63,000.

On September 14, 2020, the Community Resources Department performed community engagement through a survey and a virtual community forum. The survey was shared with neighboring residents, past facility users, and to the community through a social media campaign. Two surveys were developed, one for community and facility users and another for nearby residents. A virtual community forum was hosted on Monday, October 19, 2020, to discuss the scope of the project, evaluate facility user needs, gather community input, and understand the neighboring residents’ concerns. Information gathered through community engagement was used by staff, the subcommittees, and the architect to guide the design and specifically to determine the best kitchen type to accommodate the needs of the current and future building users.

On November 2, 2021, the architect presented the current design plans to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources Advisory Commission and the Commission provided their approval. On November 17, 2021, the architect presented the current design plans to the Public Works Commission and the Commission also provided approval.

Analysis:

Included as Attachment 2 are the current design plans prepared by the project architect. These plans reflect design goals developed through the public engagement process and cover the following elements:
· Provides compliance with ADA standards for the building; · Designs an overall space including a main hall, kitchen, and restrooms that meet the building’s occupancy load of 170 seated and 240-assembly style;
· Includes elements that are complimentary to the building’s art deco architecture in the overall design;
· Increases energy efficiency for all appliances and lighting; · Provides a kitchen and hall space that is versatile for the needs of existing users, as well as potential future users;
· Includes audio visual (AV) equipment and acoustic improvements; · Provides storage areas compatible with the storage of all necessary equipment for the space including tables, chairs, AV equipment, a podium and stage; · Designs modern restroom facilities that are compatible with building usage; · Incorporates the addition of solar panels; and
· Develops a design that minimizes maintenance costs.

The funds requested in FY 2018-19 for the project were based on preliminary cost estimation, to be further developed during design. The FY 2018-19 construction cost estimate only included the original scope of work and did not include the increased scope or cost escalation for future years.

The additional items included in the project are complete electrical, plumbing, and mechanical upgrades; enhanced ADA access throughout the property; new trash enclosure; addition of an HVAC and solar systems; a new sewer lateral; new flooring; and an acoustical ceiling to improve the acoustics of the building.

The current construction cost estimate for the building is approximately $850,000 and includes all modern appliances and fixtures and cost escalation. The actual cost would depend on the bids received for construction. Actual bid prices would be presented to City Council for approval and award.

During the bidding and construction phase of the project, City staff and the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission subcommittee would review and update the Clark City of Hermosa Beach Page 3 of 5 Printed on 5/24/2023
