SH 108 Pay-By-App Parking Signage (NEW) $ 75,000 Peter Ahlstrom X
Complete Preliminary
Design -
5/22
09/22
Preliminary Design. Reviewing proposals. The implementation of a pay by app system will require the installation of signs that will provide instructions for users and zone numbers necessary to use the system. The industry recommendation is that at least two signs be installed per block. At this time, most vendors providing pay by app systems will provide the signs at no additional cost to the City but require City staff to install them and any additional poles. It is estimated that the City will need approximately 375 signs installed, and 30 new poles installed in some locations due to a lack of existing poles. The installation would occur in areas of the City where paid parking is currently provided.

On Hold. Study/Conceptual Planning. Metro Approved funding of $1.8 million for the City for the project development phases - PA&ED (Project Approval and Environmental Document) as a result of Public Work's Measure M application in 2020. Metro is procuring the services of their on-call consultants to assist with this phase. Estimated date of kick-off meeting, February 2022.

This project would retain the existing number of lanes including north and south bound flex lanes and maintain lane widths of ten (10) feet, and flex lanes of twelve (12) feet with zero (0) feet shoulders. Collectively, the improvements will address existing, near-term, and long-range future traffic conditions along this corridor by improving intersection operations, reducing instances of unsafe turning movements, create a safe and more comfortable environment for pedestrians and transit riders, and improving the efficient movement of vehicles along the corridor.

Improvements will include ADA components to be determined during design.

VII. Matters for Commission Consideration
A. Greenbelt Accessibility and ADA Transition Plan
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Public Works Commission (PWC):

1. Receive, file, and provide comments on the Draft Americans with Disability Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan and the Draft Feasibility Study for an Accessible Trail along the Greenbelt; and

2. Recommend that City Council approve the Draft ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition with the incorporation of PWC comments, if any.

Director SanClemente provided a presentation about the Draft ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan and the Draft Feasibility Study for an Accessible Trail along the Greenbelt. The presentation recapped details about the study; current actions the City has taken to make facilities ADA compliant, which include the incorporation of ADA components/elements; and future actions to be taken. To make the Greenbelt accessible for all, there are three options for creating an accessible trail on the Greenbelt. These options include option 1, which consists of the replacement of the woodchips with decomposed granite; option 2, which consists of having half of the path be covered with woodchips and the other half having decomposed granite; and option 3, which consists of creating a separate path covered with decomposed granite. The Draft ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan identifies physical barriers that exist at City facilities, provides a compilation of ADA facility evaluation reports including parking lots, contains updated cost estimates, and identifies priorities.

Following public comment, Commissioners provided the following comments regarding the Draft Feasibility Study for an Accessible Trail along the Greenbelt:

Vice Chairperson Dunbabin inquired if the decomposed granite is considered hardscape and if there could possibly be a lawsuit because the City would be going against the people’s vote from the 1980s.

Assistant City Attorney Natalizio stated City Council would need to make that determination. Physical 691
improvements to the Greenbelt are limited to what is permitted in Section 7.32.030. For the Greenbelt project, because of it being very limited and its intention to provide access to those with disabilities, it would ultimately not change the aspect of the Greenbelt’s character attributes. Vice Chairperson Dunbabin also inquired about the previous draft ADA Feasibility Study completed by m6 and its mention of curb ramps, to which ADA Consultant Steele replied more investigation was necessary. She also asked if the City would be obligated to make the entire Greenbelt ADA compliant. ADA Consultant Steele stated this is a technical question that would need further assessment and the purpose of the study was strictly for assessing feasibility.

Commissioner Hayes asked if the fact that the City is providing an ADA path at 11th meant it is also required to provide equal access at all points or just the West side. Director SanClemente replied this was not necessary at this time because the connections at Pier Avenue and 11th Street would be ADA compliant. On the east side, there could potentially be a need to provide equal access depending on the connection, but at the time the City met ADA compliance. Commissioner Hayes added there should be equal ADA access throughout the Greenbelt. ADA Consultant Steele stated there are other access points to the Greenbelt, which met compliance.

Commissioner Grethen asked about the durability of the decomposed granite and how confident staff is that the material would not incur extensive and expensive repairs. Director SanClemente explained the material would make the Greenbelt patch flatter, so in regard to irrigation, the City could make sprinkler head adjustments to prevent or minimize mudding from any possible accumulation of water on the path from bicycles or wheelchairs. Commissioner Grethen also asked if the color of the material had anything to do with its durability. SWA Landscape Architect Ryan McKay stated all decomposed granite is natural material and the preference is for the material to be local. He also mentioned decomposed granite is natural mechanically crushed rock with added binders that prevents movement with the gravel during storm events or pedestrian traffic. Commissioner Grethen also asked about the benefits of having woodchips currently. Director SanClemente said the benefits include weed control, no erosion, and granting access to crew for tree trimming activities. Commissioner Grethen noted that the study did not show any changes being made north of 30th Street. Director SanClemente clarified this is a typo that will need to be revised to say all city limits. Commissioner Grethen asked if SWA made any assessments for potential pilots at the currently identified locations and if staff had a level of confidence that paths may be placed in other locations. Director SanClemente answered that SWA had not and that the location was selected based on the ADA Consultant’s original recommendation. The selection of the location was based on terrain features and centrality. Commissioner Grethen asked about cost estimates for having a headerless path and if having headers tended to contribute an appreciable cost element. Architect McKay explained option 1 and option 3 had a natural edge, so there would be no cost for edging. Option 2, which had a combined path, would require a header or some sort of division line to separate the woodchips from the decomposed granite. Regarding costing, staff considered a lowest end, which is a metal or steel header that would be buried flush versus a more costly concrete header, which would be aesthetically unpleasant. The biggest cost is the decomposed granite itself. The materials are similar despite the color. Commissioner Grethen inquired if there were any other significant cost drivers beyond path installation and maintenance/grating that needed consideration. Director SanClemente said grating had a low cost and comprised 5% of costs while option 2 comprised approximately 10% of costs. The more significant costs were the materials. For option 3, the highest irrigation would be split, but material costs are the highest. Lastly, Commissioner Grethen asked staff to confirm that when it came to grating, costs associated with grating pertained to the overall accessibility element. Director SanClemente stated a comprehensive assessment would need to be made.

Chairperson Giancoli asked where the woodchips on the Greenbelt come from and the maintenance costs. Director SanClemente and Deputy City Engineer explained the costs are already included in the landscape maintenance services contract. Deputy City Engineer shared that in the past, the woodchips were made from trees the City recycled, but this is no longer the case. They stated they would follow up regarding this item.

Following discussion of the Draft Feasibility Study for an Accessible Trail along the Greenbelt, Commissioners made the following recommendations:

Commissioner Grethen recommended option 3. He related his pilot recommendation to potential longerterm plans for multiple decomposed granite segments strategically located and carefully routed along various portions of the Greenbelt, based on a listed set of design requirements and considerations for accessibility, park enjoyment, preservation, maintainability, and cost. Commissioner Hayes recommended option 3 and noted the Greenbelt is currently not accessible for all. He also expressed 692
concern about the costs and the need to understand the need for building ramps and banning bicycles from the Greenbelt. Vice Chairperson Dunbabin also recommended option 3 and the banning of bicycles from the Greenbelt. She noted that perhaps the project could be determined by a city-wide vote.

Chairperson Giancoli recommended option 1, as she is concerned option 3 could be viewed as discriminatory and non-inclusive. She also noted option 1 was less disruptive. Commissioner Brittain recommended options 1 and 3 but expressed concerns with the space effect of option 3.

Commissioners provide the following comments regarding the Draft ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan:

Commissioner Brittain requested a revision to the Draft ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan be made, so the Kiwanis Building on the north side be corrected as the Rotary Building. Director SanClemente reassured the Commission that the mislabeling would not affect the assessment of the buildings.

Commissioner Hayes asked how often the City conducted a self-assessment. ADA Consultant Steele stated there is no set requirement, but the recommendation is every three to four years. He also clarified that Master Plan for the Parks would identify the needs for ADA compliance. Additional assessments would be necessary.

ACTION: Following the brief discussion, Commissioner Brittain recommended the Commission receive and file the Draft Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan and the Draft Feasibility Study for an Accessible Trail along the Greenbelt and for the City Council to approve the Draft ADA SelfEvaluation and Transition with the incorporation of PWC comments. Seconded by Vice Chairperson Dunbabin, the motion passed 5-0.

REPORT 22-0143
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of March 22, 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™710
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0143
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.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of March 22, 2022

ADOPT A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO THE TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY ACT INITIATIVE NO. 21-0042A1 RESTRICTING VOTER’S

INPUT AND LOCAL TAXING AUTHORITY
(Deputy City Manager Angela Crespi)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council adopt by title a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, expressing opposition to the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1 (Attachment 1).

Executive Summary:

The League of California Cities “Cal Cities” has requested support from the City of Hermosa Beach and all member cities in expressing opposition to the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1.

As Cal Cities has indicated, the proposed initiative limits voters' authority, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to raise revenue to cover costs of providing services. Staff prepared a Resolution (Attachment 1) expressing opposition to the initiative.

Background:

In 2018, the “Tax Fairness, Transparency and Accountability Act” (AG# 17-0050 Amdt. #1), was circulated to qualify for the November 2018 ballot. This initiative would have drastically limited local revenue authority. Through the successful work and advocacy of the League of California Cities and its coalition partners, the measure’s proponents withdrew the initiative from the ballot in June 2018.

On January 4, 2022, the California Business Roundtable filed the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (AG# 21-0042A1) (Attachment 2). This measure is far more detrimental to cities than the measure filed in 2018, because it would decimate vital local and state revenue generating methods.

During its December 2021 meeting, the League of California Cities’ Board of Directors voted City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 5/24/2023

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0147
During its December 2021 meeting, the League of California Cities’ Board of Directors voted unanimously to oppose the initiative. Following the Board’s unanimous decision, a coalition of public safety, labor, local government, and infrastructure advocates joined together to fight against this potential measure.

The Attorney General released the Title and Summary on February 3, 2022 (Attachment 3). The proponents of the measure will need to submit nearly one million signatures in order to qualify for the November 2022 ballot and the Secretary of State’s recommended date to turn in signatures is April 29, 2022.

Analysis:

In the state of California, cities use revenues raised from local taxes, fees and charges, and fines to pay for local services, including, but not limited to, police and fire services, street and sidewalk maintenance, and recreation programs.

California State law prescribes the process for instituting new, or increasing existing, taxes and fees.

Local governments seeking to institute new, or increase existing taxes and fees are required by law to comply with a clear public process. The proposed initiative would result in several changes that would impose greater restrictions on local governments ability to raise revenue to cover costs of providing services.

The California Legislative Analyst's Office released a summary of estimate outlining the proposal and fiscal effects on January 19, 2022 (Attachment 4). The League of California Cities and municipal financial expert Michael Coleman of CaliforniaCityFinance.com also prepared expert summaries regarding the initiatives impacts (Attachments 5 and 6).

The League of California Cities is requesting member cities adopt a resolution to demonstrate the harm this measure would cause to local communities and the people of California. Therefore, staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution opposing the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (AG# 21-0042A1).

General Plan Consistency:

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

· 4.1 Regional governance. Play an active role in the South Bay Cities Council of Governments, the Southern California Association of Governments and other regional agencies to protect and promote the interests of the City.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. However, if the Initiative qualifies for the November 2022 ballot and is approved by voters, it will limit the City’s ability to raise revenue in the future to pay for basic City services.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING OPPOSITION

TO THE TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND GOVERNMENT
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT INITIATIVE NO. 21-0042A1
WHEREAS; in 2018, Tax Fairness, Transparency and Accountability Act (“Initiative No. 17-0050”), was being circulated to qualify for the November 2018 ballot and;
WHEREAS; Initiative No. 17-0050 would have drastically limited local revenue authority; and;
WHEREAS; the proponents of the Initiative No. 17-0050 withdrew the initiative from the ballot in June 2018; and
WHEREAS on January 4, 2022, the California Business Roundtable filed the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (AG# 21-0042A1) to be considered for the November 2022 ballot, which would decimate vital local and state revenue-generating methods; and;
WHEREAS; Initiative 21-0042A1 is even more harmful to local governments than Initiative No. 17-0050 would have been, as it would limit voters’ input, restrict local tax and fee authority to provide local services, and restrict the authority of state and local governments to issue fines and penalties for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws; and; WHEREAS, the measure creates barriers for cities to maintain and generate revenue to provide services to communities, including local infrastructure, protecting our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources; and
WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities’ Board of Directors voted unanimously to oppose the initiative. Following the Board’s unanimous decision, a coalition of public safety, labor, local government and infrastructure advocates have joined together to fight against this potential measure; and WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to state and local services at risk, and could force cuts to fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, harbors, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more. 715

The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act [Deleted codified text is denoted in strikeout. Added codified text is denoted by italics and underline.] Section 1. Title
This Act shall be known, and may be cited as, the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act.

Section 2. Findings and Declarations
(a) Californians are overtaxed. We pay the nation's highest state income tax, sales tax, and gasoline tax. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, California's combined state and local tax burden is the highest in the nation. Despite this, and despite two consecutive years of obscene revenue surpluses, state politicians in 2021 alone introduced legislation to raise more than $234 billion in new and higher taxes and fees.
(b) Taxes are only part of the reason for California's rising cost-of-living crisis. Californians pay billions more in hidden "fees" passed through to consumers in the price they pay for products, services, food, fuel, utilities and housing. Since 2010, government revenue from state and local "fees" has more than doubled.
(c) California's high cost of living not only contributes to the state's skyrocketing rates of poverty and homelessness, they are the pushing working families and job-providing businesses out of the state. The most recent Census showed that California's population dropped for the first time in history, costing us a seat in Congress. In the past four years, nearly 300 major corporations relocated to other states, not counting thousands more small businesses that were forced to move, sell or close. (d) California voters have tried repeatedly, at great expense, to assert control over whether and how taxes and fees are raised. We have enacted a series of measures to make taxes more predictable, to limit what passes as a "fee," to require voter approval, and to guarantee transparency and accountability. These measures include Proposition 13 (1978), Proposition 62 (1986), Proposition 218 (1996), and Proposition 26 (2010).
(e) Contrary to the voters' intent, these measures that were designed to control taxes, spending and accountability, have been weakened and hamstrung by the Legislature, government lawyers, and the courts, making it necessary to pass yet another initiative to close loopholes and reverse hostile court decisions.

Section 3. Statement of Purpose
(a) In enacting this measure, the voters reassert their right to a voice and a vote on new and higher taxes by requiring any new or higher tax to be put before voters for approval. Voters also intend that all fees and other charges are passed or rejected by the voters themselves or a governing body elected by voters and not unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats.
(b) Furthermore, the purpose and intent of the voters in enacting this measure is to increase transparency and accountability over higher taxes and charges by requiring any tax measure placed on the ballot1 718
either at the state or local level-to clearly state the type and rate of any tax, how long it will be in effect, and the use of the revenue generated by the tax.
(c) Furthermore, the purpose and intent of the voters in enacting this measure is to clarify that any new or increased form of state government revenue, by any name or manner of extraction paid directly or indirectly by Californians, shall be authorized only by a vote of the Legislature and signature of the Governor to ensure that the purposes for such charges are broadly supported and transparently debated. (d) Furthermore, the purpose and intent of the voters in enacting this measure is also to ensure that taxpayers have the right and ability to effectively balance new or increased taxes and other charges with the rapidly increasing costs Californians are already paying for housing, food, childcare, gasoline, energy, healthcare, education, and other basic costs of living, and to further protect the existing constitutional limit on property taxes and ensure that the revenue from such taxes remains local, without changing or superseding existing constitutional provisions contained in Section 1{c) of Article XIII A. (e) In enacting this measure, the voters also additionally intend to reverse loopholes in the legislative twothirds vote and voter approval requirements for government revenue increases created by the courts including, but not limited to, Cannabis Coalition v. City of Upland, Chamber of Commerce v. Air Resources Board, Schmeer v. Los Angeles County, Johnson v. County of Mendocino, Citizens Assn. of Sunset Beach v.

Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission, and Wilde v. City of Dunsmuir.

Any proposed change to the use of the revenue from the tax shall be adopted by a separate act that is passed by not less than two-thirds of all members elected to each of the two houses of the Legislature and submitted to the electorate and approved by a maiority vote. (2) The title and summary and ballot label or question required for a measure pursuant to the Elections Code shall. for each measure providing for the imposition of a tax, including a measure proposed by an elector pursuant to Article II, include:

Section 6. Section 2 of Article XIII C of the California Constitution is amended to read:

Sec. 2. Local Government Tax Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution:
(a) Every levy. charge. or exaction of any kind imposed by local law is either a tax or an exempt charge. All taxes imposed by any local government shall be deemed to be either general taxes or special taxes. Special purpose districts or agencies, including school districts, shall have no power to levy general taxes. (b) No local Jaw go,.·ernment whether proposed by the governing body or by an elector, may impose, extend, or increase any general tax unless and until that tax is submitted to the electorate and approved by a majority vote.

A special tax shall not be deemed to have been increased if it is imposed at a rate not higher than the maximum rate so approved. {d) The title and summary and ballot label or question required for a measure pursuant to the Elections Code shall. for each measure providing for the imposition of a tax, include:
(1) The type and amount or rate of the tax;
(2) the duration of the tax; and
(3) The use of the revenue derived from the tax. If the proposed tax is a general tax. the phrase "for general government use" shall be required, and no advisory measure may appear on the same ballot that would indicate that the revenue from the general tax will. could. or should be used for a specific purpose. (e) Only the governing body of a local government. other than an elector pursuant to Article II or the initiative power provided by a charter or statute. shall have the authority to impose any exempt charge.

The governing body shall impose an exempt charge by an ordinance specifying the type of exempt charge 6 723
as provided in Section l(i) and the amount or rate of the exempt charge to be imposed. and passed by the governing body. This subdivision shall not apply to charges specified in paragraph (7) of subdivision (i) of Section 1.
ff) No amendment to a Charter which provides for the imposition, extension, or increase of a tax or exempt charge shall be submitted to or approved by the electors. nor shall any such amendment to a Charter hereafter submitted to or approved by the electors become effective for any purpose. (q) Any tax or exempt charge adopted after January 1, 2022, but prior to the effective date of this act, that was not adopted in compliance with the requirements of this section is void 12 months after the effective date of this act unless the tax or exempt charge is reenacted in compliance with the requirements of this section.
{h)(1) The focal government bears the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that a levy, charge or exaction is an exempt charge and not a tax. The local government bears the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the amount of the exempt charge is reasonable and that the amount charged does not exceed the actual cost of providing the service or product to the payor. (2} The retention of revenue by, or the payment to, a non-governmental entity of a levy. charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local law, shall not be a factor in determining whether the levy, charge, or exaction is a tax or exempt charge.
(3) The characterization of a levy. charge. or exaction of any kind imposed by a local law as being paid in exchange for a benefit. privilege, allowance, authorization, or asset, shall not be factors in determining whether the levy, charge, or exaction is a tax or an exempt charge. (4) The use of revenue derived from the levy, charge or exaction shall be a factor in determining whether the levy, charge, or exaction is a tax or exempt charge.

Section 7. Section 3 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution is amended, to read:

Sec. 3. Property Taxes, Assessments, Fees and Charges Limited (a) No tax, assessment, fee, 6f charge, or surcharge, including a surcharge based on the value ofpropertv, shall be assessed 13y a Ry ageRC'f upon any parcel of property or upon any person as an incident of property ownership except:

(2) Any special non-ad valorem tax receiving a two-thirds vote of qualified electors pursuant to Section 4 of Article XIII A, or after receiving a two-thirds vote of those authorized to vote in a community facilities district by the Legislature pursuant to statute as it existed on December 31, 2021. (3) Assessments as provided by this article.
(4) Fees or charges for property related services as provided by this article. 7 724

Section 8. Sections 1 and 14 of Article XIII are amended to read:

Sec. 1 Unless otherwise provided by this Constitution or the laws of the United States:
(a) All property is taxable and shall be assessed at the same percentage of fair market value. When a value standard other than fair market value is prescribed by this Constitution or by statute authorized by this Constitution, the same percentage shall be applied to determine the assessed value. The value to which the percentage is applied, whether it be the fair market value or not, shall be known for property tax purposes as the full value.
(b) All property so assessed shall be taxed in proportion to its full value. (c) All proceeds from the taxation of property shall be apportioned according to law to the districts within the counties.

Sec. 14. All property taxed by state or local government shall be assessed in the county, city, and district in which it is situated. Notwithstanding any other provision of/aw, such state or local property taxes shall be apportioned according to law to the districts within the counties.

Section 9. General Provisions
A. This Act shall be liberally construed in order to effectuate its purposes.

B. (1) In the event that this initiative measure and another initiative measure or measures relating to state or local requirements for the imposition, adoption, creation, or establishment of taxes, charges, and other revenue measures shall appear on the same statewide election ballot, the other initiative measure or measures shall be deemed to be in conflict with this measure. In the event that this initiative measure receives a greater number of affirmative votes, the provisions of this measure shall prevail in their entirety, and the provisions ofthe other initiative measure or measures shall be null and void. (2) In furtherance of this provision, the voters hereby declare that this measure conflicts with the provisions of the "Housing Affordability and Tax Cut Act of 2022" and "The Tax Cut and Housing Affordability Act," both of which would impose a new state property tax (called a "surcharge") on certain real property, and where the revenue derived from the tax is provided to the State, rather than retained in the county in which the property is situated and for the use of the county and cities and districts within the county, in direct violation of the provisions of this initiative. (3) If this initiative measure is approved by the voters, but superseded in whole or in part by any other conflicting initiative measure approved by the voters at the same election, and such conflicting initiative is later held invalid, this measure shall be self-executing and given full force and effect.

C. The provisions of this Act are severable. If any portion, section, subdivision, paragraph, clause, sentence, phrase, word, or application of this Act is for any reason held to be invalid by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, that decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Act. The People of the State of California hereby declare that they would have adopted this Act and each and every portion, section, subdivision, paragraph, clause, sentence, phrase, word, and application not 8 725
declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of this Act or application thereof would be subsequently declared invalid.

D. If this Act is approved by the voters of the State of California and thereafter subjected to a legal challenge alleging a violation of state or federal law, and both the Governor and Attorney General refuse to defend this Act, then the following actions shall be taken:
(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Chapter 6 of Part 2 of Division 3 ofTitle 2 of the Government Code or any other law, the Attorney General shall appoint independent counsel to faithfully and vigorously defend this Act on behalf of the State of California. (2) Before appointing or thereafter substituting independent counsel, the Attorney General shall exercise due diligence in determining the qualifications of independent counsel and shall obtain written affirmation from independent counsel that independent counsel will faithfully and vigorously defend this Act. The written affirmation shall be made publicly available upon request. (3) A continuous appropriation is hereby made from the General Fund to the Controller, without regard to fiscal years, in an amount necessary to cover the costs of retaining independent counsel to faithfully and vigorously defend this Act on behalf of the State of California. (4) Nothing in this section shall prohibit the proponents of this Act, or a bona fide taxpayers association, from intervening to defend this Act.

Initiative 21-0042 (Amdt. 1)
The Attorney General of California has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure:

LIMITS ABILITY OF VOTERS AND STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO RAISE REVENUES FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICES. INITIATIVE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. For new or increased state taxes currently enacted by two-thirds vote of Legislature, also requires statewide election and majority voter approval. Limits voters’ ability to pass voter-proposed local special taxes by raising vote requirement to two-thirds. Eliminates voters’ ability to advise how to spend revenues from proposed general tax on same ballot as the proposed tax. Expands definition of “taxes” to include certain regulatory fees, broadening application of tax approval requirements. Requires Legislature or local governing body set certain other fees. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Lower annual state and local revenues, potentially substantially lower, depending on future actions of the Legislature, local governing bodies, voters, and the courts.

Hon. Rob Bonta
Attorney General
1300 I Street, 17th Floor
Sacramento, California 95814
Attention: Ms. Anabel Renteria
Initiative Coordinator
Dear Attorney General Bonta:

Pursuant to Elections Code Section 9005, we have reviewed the proposed constitutional Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act initiative (A.G. File No. 21-0042, Amendment #1).

Background
State Government
Taxes and Fees. This year’s state budget spends over $255 billion in state funds. Over 90 percent of the state budget is funded with revenues from taxes. These include, for example, sales taxes paid on goods and income taxes paid on wages and other sources of income. Much of the rest of the state budget is funded by fees and other charges. Examples include: (1) charges relating to regulatory activities; (2) charges for specific government services or products, like fees charged to drivers to improve roads; (3) charges for entering state property, such as a state park; and (4) judicial fines, penalties, and other charges. The State Constitution requires the state to set fees at a reasonable level, generally reflecting the costs of the services or benefits provided.

The state uses revenue from taxes and fees to fund a variety of programs and services, including education, health care, transportation, and housing and homelessness services.

Current Requirements to Approve Taxes and Fees. Under the State Constitution, state tax increases require approval by two-thirds of each house of the Legislature or a majority vote of the statewide electorate. The Legislature can reduce taxes with a majority vote of each house, provided the change does not result in an increase in taxes paid by any single taxpayer. In many cases, the Legislature has enacted statutes that delegate its authority to adjust fees and other 21-0042 Amdt. 1
728
Hon. Rob Bonta 2 January 19, 2022
charges to administrative entities, like state departments. In these cases, these charges can be increased or changed by the department within certain limits.

Local Government
Taxes and Fees. The largest local government tax is the property tax, which raises roughly $75 billion annually. Other local taxes include sales taxes, utility taxes, and hotel taxes. In addition to these taxes, local governments levy a variety of fees and other charges. Examples include parking meter fees, building permit fees, regulatory fees, and judicial fines and penalties.

In order to be considered a fee, the charge cannot exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the associated product or service. Local governments use revenues from taxes and fees to fund a variety of services, like fire and police, public works, and parks.

Current Requirements to Approve Taxes and Fees. State law requires increases in local taxes to receive approval of the local governing body—for example, a city council or county board of supervisors—as well as approval of voters in that local jurisdiction. Most proposed taxes require a two-thirds vote of the local governing board before being presented to the voters.

Special taxes (those used for a specific purpose) require a two-thirds vote of the electorate while other types of taxes require a majority vote of the electorate. The majority-vote general taxes can be used for any purpose. Recent case law suggests that citizen initiative special taxes may be approved by majority vote, rather than a two-thirds vote. Currently, local governing bodies have the ability to delegate their authority to adjust fees and other charges to administrative entities, like city departments. In these cases, these charges can be increased or changed by the department within certain limits.

Proposal
This measure amends the State Constitution to change the rules for how the state and local governments can impose taxes, fees, and other charges.

State and Local Government Taxes
Expands Definition of Tax. The measure amends the State Constitution to expand the definition of taxes to include some charges that state and local governments currently treat as fees and other charges. For example, certain charges imposed for a benefit or privilege granted to a payer but not granted to those not charged would no longer be considered fees. As a result, the measure could increase the number of revenue proposals subject to the higher state and local vote requirements for taxes discussed below.

Requires Voter Approval for State Taxes. The measure increases the vote requirements for increasing state taxes. Specifically, the measure requires that legislatively proposed tax increases receive approval by two-thirds of each house and a majority vote of the statewide electorate.

Voters would still be able to increase taxes by majority vote of the electorate without legislative action, however. Any state tax approved between January 1, 2022 and the effective date of this measure would be nullified unless it fulfills the requirements of the measure.

Requirements for Approving Local Taxes. Whether sought by the local governing body or the electorate, the measure establishes the same approval requirements for increasing local 729
Hon. Rob Bonta 3 January 19, 2022
special taxes. Any local tax approved between January 1, 2022 and the effective date of this measure would be nullified unless it fulfills the requirements of the measure.

Allowable Uses and Duration of State and Local Tax Revenues Must Be Specified. The measure requires state and local tax measures to identify the type and amount (or rate) of the tax and the duration of the tax. State and local government general tax measures must state that the revenue can be used for general purposes.

State and Local Government Fees
Requires the Legislature and Local Government Bodies to Impose State and Local Fees.

Fees would have to be imposed by a majority vote of both houses of the Legislature or local governing bodies. The measure would restrict the ability of state and local governments to delegate fee changes to administrative entities. The extent of these restrictions would depend on future court decisions. Any fee approved between January 1, 2022 and the effective date of this measure would be nullified unless it fulfills the requirements of the measure.

Some New State and Local Fees Could Not Exceed Actual Costs. For some categories of fees, if the Legislature or a local governing body wished to impose a new fee or make changes to an existing fee, the measure generally would require that the charge be both reasonable and reflect the actual costs to the state or local government of providing the service. The measure also specifies that actual cost should not exceed “the minimum amount necessary.” In many cases, existing fees already reflect the government’s actual costs. In other cases, some fees would have to more closely approximate the payer’s actual costs in order to remain fees. If a fee payer challenged the charge, the state or local government would need to provide clear and convincing evidence that the fee meets this threshold. State and local governments also would bear the burden of providing clear and convincing evidence that the levy is a fee—which is not subject to a vote by the electorate—and not a tax under the new definition.

Fiscal Effects
Lower State Tax and Fee Revenue. By expanding the definition of a tax, increasing the vote requirements for approving taxes, and restricting administrative changes to fees, the measure makes it harder for the Legislature to increase nearly all types of state revenues. The extent to which revenues would be lower under the measure would depend on various factors, most notably future decisions made by the Legislature and voters. For example, requirements for legislative approval of fee increases currently set administratively could result in lower fee revenues, depending on future votes of the Legislature. That lower revenue could be particularly notable for some state programs largely funded by fees. Due to the uncertainty of these factors, we cannot estimate the amount of reduced state revenue, but it could be substantial.

Lower Local Government Tax and Fee Revenue. Compared to the state, local governments generally face greater restrictions to raising revenue. By expanding the definition of taxes and restricting administrative changes to fees, the measure would make it somewhat harder for local governments to raise revenue. Consequently, future local tax and fee revenue could be lower than they would be otherwise. The extent to which revenues would be lower is unknown, but 730
Hon. Rob Bonta 4 January 19, 2022
fees could be more impacted. The actual impact on local government revenue would depend on various factors, including future decisions by the courts, local governing bodies, and voters.

Possible Increased State and Local Administrative Costs to Change Some Fee Levels. In some cases, state and local departments would need to develop methods for setting fees to reflect actual costs if the Legislature or local governing bodies wanted to change those fees in the future. Estimating actual costs by program and fee source could involve some added workload for those state and local departments, which likely would be supported by fee revenue. The extent of these administrative costs would depend on (1) whether the state and local governments determine a fee increase is needed in order to maintain their current level of programs and services funded through fee revenue and (2) future court decisions.

Summary of Fiscal Effects. We estimate that this measure would have the following major fiscal effects:
• Lower annual state and local revenues, potentially substantially lower, depending on future actions of the Legislature, local governing bodies, voters, and the courts.

Sincerely,

The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1
January 21, 2022
Summary: The measure limits the voters’ input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.

Limiting Voter Authority and Accountability
• Limits voter input. Prohibits local voters from providing direction on how local tax dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures. • Invalidates Upland decision that allows majority of local voters to pass special taxes. Taxes proposed by the Initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. All measures passed between January 2022 and November 2022 would be invalidated unless reenacted within 12 months.

Restricting Local Fee Authority to Provide Local Services • Franchise fees. Sets new standard for fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property. The standard may significantly restrict the amount oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage companies, cable companies, and other corporations pay for the use of local public property. Rental and sale of local government property must be “reasonable” which must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.”
• Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence.

Restricting Authority of State and Local Governments to Issue Fines and Penalties for Violations of Law.
• Requires voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties. 732
Restricting Local Tax Authority to Provide Local Services • Expanding existing taxes (e.g., UUT, use tax, TOT) to new territory (e.g., annexation) or expanding the base (e.g., new utility service) requires voter approval.
• City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. • New taxes can be imposed only for a specific time period. • Taxes adopted after January 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
• All state taxes require majority voter approval.
• Prohibits any surcharge on property tax rate and allocation of property tax to state.

Other Changes
• No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy. 733

Fiscal and Program Effects of
Initiative 21-0042A1 on Local Governments
If Initiative 21-0042A1 is placed on the ballot and passed by voters, it will result in:
 Billions of local government fee and charge revenues placed at heightened legal peril. Related public service reductions across virtually every aspect of city, county, special district, and school services especially for transportation, and public facility use.  Hundreds of millions of dollars of annual revenues from dozens of tax and bond measures approved by voters between January 1, 2022 and November 9, 2022 subject to additional voter approval if not in compliance with the initiative.
 Indeterminable legal and administrative burdens and costs on local government from new and more empowered legal challenges, and bureaucratic cost tracking requirements.  The delay and deterrence of municipal annexations and associated impacts on housing and commercial development.
 Service and infrastructure impacts including in fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, drinking water, sewer sanitation, parks, libraries, public schools, affordable housing, homelessness prevention and mental health services.

1. Local Government Taxes and Services Threatened
With regard to taxes, Initiative 21-0042A1:
 Prohibits advisory, non-binding measures as to use of tax proceeds on the same ballot. o Voters may be less informed and more likely to vote against measures.  Eliminates the ability of special tax measures proposed by citizen initiative to be enacted by majority voter approval (Upland).
o Because the case law regarding citizen initiative special taxes approved by majority vote (Upland) is so recent, it is unknown how common these sorts of measures might be in the future. This initiative would prohibit such measures after the effective date of the initiative. Any such measures adopted after January 1, 2022 through November 8, 2022 would be void after November 9, 2023.
 Requires that tax measures include a specific duration of time that the tax will be imposed. This seems to require that all tax increases or extensions contain a sunset (end date). o This would require additional tax measures to extend previously approved taxes at additional cost to taxpayers.
 Requires that a tax or bond measure adopted after January 1, 2022 and before the effective date of the initiative (November 9, 2022) that was not adopted in accordance with the measure be readopted in compliance with the measure or will be void twelve months after the effective date of the initiative (November 9, 2023).
o If past election patterns are an indication, dozens of tax and bond measures approving hundreds of millions of annual revenues may not be in compliance and would be subject to reenactment.

Most will be taxes without a specific end date. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, measures not in compliance would need to be placed on a special election ballot for approval before November 9, 2023 or the tax will be void after that date. General tax measures would require declaration of emergency and unanimous vote of the governing board.

 Requires voter approval to expand an existing tax to new territory (annexations). This would require additional tax measures and would deter annexations and land development in cities. o If a tax is "extended" to an annexed area without a vote after January 1, 2022, it will be void 12 months later until brought into compliance. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, such extensions for general taxes would, under current law, each require unanimous vote of the agency board to be placed on a special election ballot or would be void after November 9, 2023.

1.a. Number of Measures and Value of Local Taxes at Risk1 In 2020, voters in California approved 293 local tax and bond measures for cities, counties, special districts and schools (95 in March and 198 in November). The approved measures enacted $3.85 billion in new annual taxes including $1.3 billion for cities, $302 million for counties, $208 million for special districts (fire, wastewater, open space and transit districts), and $2.037 billion for schools (including for school bonds).

Most tax measures go to the ballot during a presidential or gubernatorial primary or general election in an even year. However, some tax measures are decided at other times. During 2019, there were 45 approved tax and bond measures (24 city, 14 special district, 7 school) adopting $154.0 million in new annual taxes ($124.0 million city, $10.5 million special district and $19.2 million school).

Most tax and bond measures comply with the new rules in Initiative 21-0042Amdt#1 except:
 Dozens of taxes would require end dates. This would require additional measures in future years to extend the taxes further. Very few extensions of existing local taxes fail.  Majority vote general tax measures could not be accompanied on the same ballot with an advisory, non-binding measure as to use of tax proceeds.  Special taxes placed on the ballot via citizen initiative would require two-thirds voter approval.

Bond measures have fixed terms. Historically, about 20 percent of other tax measures have included specific durations (i.e. sunsets). Advisory measures as to use of revenues are uncommon. I do not expect the provisions of 21-0042A1 to have any substantial effect on passage rates. However, some 2022 approved measures would likely have to put back on the ballot.

Based on history, a reasonable estimate of the annualized tax revenues estimated to be approved by 1 Source: Compilation and summary of data from County elections offices. 735

voters in 2022 and placed at risk by this initiative is at least $1.5 billion, including $1.0 billion from cities and $500 million from counties and special districts. 2 1.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Tax Provisions In addition to service delays and disruption due to new tax revenues placed at greater legal risk, there will be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The deterrence of taxes for annexations will delay and deter municipal annexations.

2. “Exempt Charges” (fees and charges that are not taxes) and Services Threatened With regard to fees and charges adopted after January 1, 2022, Initiative 21-0042A1:
 Subjects new fees and charges for a product or service to a new "actual cost” test defined as “(i) the minimum amount necessary to reimburse the government for the cost of providing the service to the payor, and (ii) where the amount charged is not used by the government for any purpose other than reimbursing that cost. In addition, subjects these same charges to a new, undefined, “reasonable” standard.
 Subjects fees and charges for entrance to local government property; and rental and sale of local government property to a new, undefined, “reasonable” test.  Subjects a challenged fee or charge to new, higher burdens of proof if legally challenged.  Prohibits a levy, charge or exaction regulating or related to vehicle miles traveled, imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.

2.a. Value on New Local Government Fees and Charges at Risk3 Virtually every city, county, and special district must regularly (e.g., annually) adopt increases to fee rates and charges and revise rate schedules to accommodate new users and activities. Most of these would be subject to new standards and limitations under threat of legal challenge. Based on the current volume of fees and charges imposed by local agencies and increases in those fees simply to accommodate inflation, the amount of local government fee and charge revenue placed at risk is about $1 billion per year including those adopted since January 1, 2022. Of this $1 billion, about $570 million is for special districts, $450 million is cities, and $260 million is counties.4
Major examples of affected fees and charges are:

1. Nuisance abatement charges - such as for weed, rubbish and general nuisance abatement to fund community safety, code enforcement, and neighborhood cleanup programs.

2. Commercial franchise fees.

3. Emergency response fees - such as in connection with DUI.

4. Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport charges.

5. Document processing and duplication fees.

6. Transit fees, tolls, parking fees, public airport and harbor use fees.

7. Facility use charges, fees for parks and recreation services, garbage disposal tipping fees.

In addition to fees and charges, the measure puts fines and penalties assessed for the violation of state and 2 This does not include citizen initiative special tax approved by majority but not two-thirds. Because this approach is new, the number of these measures and amount of revenue involved cannot be estimated. 3 Source: California State Controller Annual Reports of Financial Transactions concerning cities, counties and special districts, summarized with an assumed growth due to fee rate increases (not population) of 2 percent annually. 4 School fees are also affected but the amount is negligible by comparison. 736

local law at risk, making them taxes subject to voter approval under certain circumstances.

2.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Fee/Charge Provisions In addition to service delays and disruptions due to fee and charge revenues placed at greater legal risk, there would be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The risk to fees and charges will make infrastructure financing more difficult and will deter new residential and commercial development. ***********

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of March 22, 2022

APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF HERMOSA

BEACH AND BURKE, WILLIAMS & SORENSEN, LLP FOR LEGAL SERVICES (Human Resources Manager Vanessa Godinez)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council approve the Professional Services Agreement with the law firm Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP to provide legal services in the area of labor negotiations to the City.

Executive Summary:

The current Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) for the City’s six labor groups are set to expire on June 30, 2022. Staff is preparing to begin labor negotiations with the labor groups for a successor MOU. Staff recommends retaining Daphne Anneet and Sheila Delshad from Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP to represent the City as Lead Negotiators and to provide legal services in the area of labor negotiations. Therefore, staff requests Council approval of the Professional Services Agreement with Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP (Attachment 1).

Background:

In 2016, Daphne Anneet assisted the City with labor negotiations that led to the execution of Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with seven labor groups for a three-year term, July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019. In 2019, Daphne Anneet returned to the City to assist with labor negotiations that led to the execution of MOUs with six labor groups for a three-year term, July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022. The City’s fire services were transitioned to LA County Fire, thereby reducing the number of MOUs by one.

General Plan Consistency:

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure on its own terms services similar to those terminated.

INDEMNIFICATION. CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, and cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONSULTANT's performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY’S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONSULTANT’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONSULTANT shall reimburse the CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The CONSULTANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 17, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT’s professional services. CONSULTANT’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that CONSULTANT will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which is it performed. CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.

AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement. CONSULTANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement.

CONSULTANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.

CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement. CONSULTANT 746
City of Hermosa Beach

Page 4 of 10 ends

will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by the City to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONSULTANT to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. The CONSULTANT, at the CONSULTANT’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. The Consultant shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by the CONTRACTOR for City.

2. General Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONSULTANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. The CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from the CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by the CONSULTANT or by its employees, subcontractors, or subconsultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-peroccurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by City, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONSULTANT also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSULTANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”
747
City of Hermosa Beach

Page 5 of 10 ends

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by the CITY.

C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY.

At the CITY’s option, the CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. The CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to the CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of the CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the Consultant (as the named insured) should Consultant fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. Consultant understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by Consultant as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR or deductible on Consultant’s behalf upon the Consultant’s failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action against Consultant for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by City due to the breach.

USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any sub-consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation. 748
City of Hermosa Beach

Page 6 of 10 ends

FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of the CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of the CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by the CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-consultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by the Consultant, its employees, sub-consultants and agents.

CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during the City’s review of the Consultant’s report or plans. Should the Consultant fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by the CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the CONSULTANT. In addition to all other available remedies, the City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by the City or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’S services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

Executive Summary:

The City of Hermosa Beach is a highly sought-after destination for special events, especially those taking place on the beach. The Community Resources Department is tasked with overseeing these event requests and permits following an extensive review and approval process that includes both the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) and City Council, depending on the Impact Level of each event.

At its March 1, 2022 meeting, the Commission, through a Public Hearing deliberation, recommended approval of the following additional Impact Level III events to the 2022 Special Events Calendar:
· Hermosa View, Vista, Valley Parent Teacher Organization’s (HVPTO) Dolphin Dash on Saturday, April 30 on the Strand north of the Pier and Schumacher Plaza; · Hermosa Beach Sidewalk Sale on Saturday, April 30-Sunday, May 1 and Saturday, August 6- Sunday, August 7 at various locations throughout downtown Hermosa Beach; and · U19 World Championship and World University Championship Trials on Sunday, June 19- City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 6 Printed on 5/24/2023

· U19 World Championship and World University Championship Trials on Sunday, June 19- Thursday, June 23 on the volleyball courts north of the Pier.

Background:

In 2017, the Special Event Policy Guide was implemented, which outlined an updated approval process for special events consistent with each event’s categorized Impact Level. Impact Level III events, which are the largest impact events or new events to the City, require review and approval by City Council through Public Hearing deliberations. Impact Level II events require review and approval by the Commission, and Impact Level I events are approved by staff. Impact Level III events are given priority review and approval.

Staff began accepting applications from all event producers interested in applying for 2022 event dates, regardless of their individual Impact Levels, on September 27, 2021. Event producers with Impact Level III event requests were required to submit a special event application by October 24, 2021 to be included within the first round of review and approval of Impact Level III events by the Commission and City Council in December. Staff continues to accept applications from event producers after the initial due dates that meet the processing timeframe and requirements based on the event’s Impact Level as outlined in the Special Event Policy Guide.

Staff has received a total of three additional Impact Level III special event applications for 2022. The additional Impact Level III event requests recommended for approval are included on the 2022 Special Events Calendar (Attachment 1).

HVPTO’s Dolphin Dash
The Hermosa View, Vista, Valley Parent Teacher Organization (HVPTO) requests to hold a community jog-a-thon fundraising event for the Hermosa Beach City School District on Saturday, April 30.

Hermosa Beach Sidewalk Sale
This is a returning event request from the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau for their Spring Sidewalk Sale (Saturday, April 30-Sunday, May 1) and their Summer Sidewalk Sale (Saturday, August 6-Sunday, August 7). The event consists of merchants along Pier Avenue, from Pier Plaza to Pacific Coast Highway, and Hermosa Avenue offering specials and promotions to attract business to their stores with live music, special promotions, sales, discounted items, and instore activities. All outside activities and event-related equipment would not be allowed to block or inhibit pedestrian walkway space or store entrances. Because these date requests are during the City’s peak events season, which extends between the Memorial Day and Labor Day holidays, these events qualify as Impact Level III. However, the Sidewalk Sale is low impact. The requested event dates are concurrent with other events scheduled within the City; however, the events are planned for different locations or different times. Therefore, staff does not anticipate any conflicts. Additional event details are included in the Hermosa Beach Sidewalk Sale event overview sheet (Attachment 8 ). Estimated permit fees payable to the City are included in Table 2 below.

U19 World Championship and World University Championship Trials This is a new event request from the USA Volleyball (USAV) for Sunday, June 19-Thursday, June 23 to hold the U19 World Championship and World University Championship Trials. The event includes an all-ages volleyball tournament on the volleyball courts north of the Pier to allow local and non-local athletes to compete for an opportunity to represent the USA at the U19 World Championship and the World University Championship. The event date requests do not conflict with any other events.

Additional event details are included in the U19 World Championship and World University Championship Trials event overview sheet (Attachment 9). Estimated permit fees payable to the City are included in Table 3 below.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of March 22, 2022

CERTIFICATION OF RESULTS OF SIGNATURE VERIFICATION

OF AN INITIATIVE PETITION PROPOSING FOR THE HERMOSA BEACH CANNABIS

REGULATION AND PUBLIC SAFETY MEASURE
(Interim City Clerk Susan Morrow)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council provide direction:

1. If the City Council desires a report from staff on the impacts of the measure, direct staff to return with such a report within 30 days. If not, either adopt the ordinance within 10 days or order that it be placed on the November 8, 2022 Municipal Election; and

2. Receive and file the Certificate of Sufficiency.

Executive Summary:

The signature verification qualifies the Cannabis Initiative filed by Colton Chacker to be placed on the November 8, 2022 Municipal Election ballot. The attached Certificate of Sufficiency is presented to Council pursuant to Elections Code section 9215. Upon receipt of the Certificate of Sufficiency the Council shall do one of the following: (a) adopt the ordinance, without alteration, at the regular meeting at which the certification of the petition is presented, or within 10 days after it is presented; (b) submit the ordinance, without alteration, to the voters pursuant to Section 1405; or (c) order a report pursuant to Election Code Section 9212 at the regular meeting at which the certification of the petition is presented. When the report is presented to the legislative body, the legislative body shall either adopt the ordinance within 10 days or order an election pursuant to subdivision (b).

Background:

A Notice of Intention to circulate this petition was filed with the City Clerk on November 17, 2021 (Attachment 1). The ballot title and summary prepared by the City Attorney were provided to the proponent on December 2, 2021. The notice was published in the Easy Reader on December 16, 2021, and the petition was then circulated for signatures of registered voters. The signed petition was submitted to the City Clerk’s office on March 3, 2022 and was sent to the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters for signature verification on the same day, based on the City Clerk’s determination that the submitted number of signatures, prima facie, exceeded the minimum number required. The Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters verified and completed the verification on March 4, 2022 and City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 4 Printed on 5/17/2022

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0175
Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters verified and completed the verification on March 4, 2022 and received confirmation on March 15, 2022 (Attachment 2).

Staff requests City Council receive and file the Certificate of Sufficiency for the Initiative Ordinance submitted by petition entitled Hermosa Beach Cannabis Regulation and Public Safety Measure (Attachment 3). This sufficiency represents 10 percent of registered voters required to sign the petition or 1,421 signatures. The number of registered voters last reported by Los Angeles County to the Secretary of State pursuant to Elections Code § 2187 effective at the time the notice as specified in Elections Code § 9202 was published was 14,214. Since the number of valid signatures exceeds the number required (1,650), the petition does qualify to be placed on the ballot for the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election.

Discussion:

Once the Initiative’s signatures are verified, the City Council must take action according to Election Code § 9215:

Option A Adopt the ordinance, without alteration, at the regular meeting at which the certification of the petition is presented, or within 10 days after it is presented.

Option B Submit the ordinance, without alteration, to the voters pursuant to Section 1405.

Option C Order a report pursuant to Election Code § 92121 at the regular meeting at which the certification of the petition is presented. When the report is presented to the legislative body, the legislative body shall either adopt the ordinance within 10 days (Option A) or order an election (Option B) pursuant to subdivision (b).

Should the City Council choose to have an election, the following actions must be taken.

For measures placed on the ballot by petition, Elections Code § 9282 gives priority to the measure’s City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 of 4 Printed on 5/17/2022
powered by Legistar™794
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0175
For measures placed on the ballot by petition, Elections Code § 9282 gives priority to the measure’s proponent to file an argument in favor of the ordinance and priority to the City Council to submit an argument against the ordinance. Should the City Council wish to file the argument against the measure, Council should authorize one or more members to write the argument. If the City Council opts to not authorize one or more of its members to prepare and file a written argument against the ordinance, State law requires the City Clerk to select if more than one argument is submitted, based on the priorities established in Elections Code § 9287. It has been traditional in the past to allow for rebuttal arguments.

In regard to the November 8, 2022 Municipal Election, City Council needs to decide whether or not to consolidate with the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters. The deadline to the County of Los Angeles, is June 19, 2022; however, it is anticipated to have resolutions and an estimated cost from the County of Los Angeles to the City Council no later than its May 10, 2022 City Council meeting.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Suja Lowenthal, City Manager
SUBJECT: 3/22/22 AGENDA, MUNICIPAL MATTERS ITEM XIVa - SUPPLEMENTAL

SUMMARY FROM CANNABIS ADVISORY GROUP
At its March 21, 2022 meeting, the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group participated in an informal poll regarding key issues as they move toward a final recommendation to City Council. With one member absent, the eight remaining members unanimously indicated opposition to the Cannabis Initiative filed by Colton Chacker.

The group was split on a question regarding support for upholding the current ban, with a slight majority in favor of keeping the current ban in place. Although most members are in favor of upholding a ban on cannabis sales and delivery, the members present were unanimously in support of including a standalone tax measure on the ballot in case the Cannabis Initiative filed by Colton Chacker were to be approved by the voters.

The group was also polled regarding its support for a possible competing measure should Council to determine that approach as the best course of action for the community. A slight majority was supportive of a competing initiative with significant regulation to protect community interest. Some of the considerations offered included: a 1,500 foot minimum distance from schools; density and proximity to schools and routes to school; prohibition of retail in the area surrounding the Pier; prohibition of billboards for advertising; restriction on flavored products and combustibles; and the exploration of a regional agreement with neighboring cities. It was even suggested that a competing initiative to allow for legal delivery only, with no retail storefronts, be considered.

The group will continue to discuss their concerns, as well as possible elements of a competing measure, if they should so choose to make that recommendation, at their next meeting scheduled for March 29, 2022.

REPORT 22-0120
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of March 22, 2022

PURCHASE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES
(Police Chief Paul LeBaron)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council authorize the purchase of the following vehicles to replace vehicles approved for replacement through the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget process:

1. One 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid to replace a 2014 Ford Police Interceptor Utility;

2. One 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid to replace a 2014 Ford Explorer;

3. One 2022 Subaru Outback wagon to replace a 2014 Ford Explorer;

4. One 2022 Tesla Model Y to replace a 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid; and

5. One 2022 Chevrolet Traverse to replace a 2014 Chevrolet Caprice.

Executive Summary:

The City of Hermosa Beach is committed to providing first-class public safety services to the community. Fulfilling this commitment relies heavily on the availability of adequate emergency response vehicles within the Police Department. The department’s fleet currently has five vehicles due for replacement in Fiscal Year 2021-22. This includes one Ford Police Interceptive Utility assigned to Patrol in the Operations Division; one Ford Fusion, currently assigned to Investigative and Administrative Services Division; and one Chevrolet Caprice and two Ford Explorers assigned to the Detective Bureau.

Staff diligently evaluated the City’s Clean Fleet Vehicle Purchasing Policy and the department’s operational needs to select the most cost- and fuel-efficient vehicles currently available for law enforcement operations. The selected replacements prioritize reliability, safety, and effectiveness of vehicles for emergency response. Aligned with the City’s clean fleet goals, two of the five recommended vehicles are hybrid vehicles to replace two petrol-fueled vehicles and one is an allelectric vehicle to replace a hybrid vehicle. The department vetted the Ford F-150 all-electric pursuitrated vehicle and is committed to recommending it for the next patrol vehicle replacement.

Background:

Police Department vehicles are part of the inventory in the City’s Equipment Replacement Schedule City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 5 Printed on 12/22/2022 powered by Legistar™841
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0120
Police Department vehicles are part of the inventory in the City’s Equipment Replacement Schedule with an average replacement cycle of five to six years. As part of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget process, City Council approved the replacement of five police vehicles. All five of these vehicles have surpassed their service life and are in need of replacement. *The Chevrolet Caprice had a shortened length of service because it was totaled in 2020 in a traffic collision.

Discussion:

The department seeks to replace its existing 2014 Ford Police Interceptor Utility with a 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid. This make and model is Ford’s first release of a Utility vehicle with hybrid technology. This model has a new V6 hybrid engine, is pursuit-rated, and adheres to the City’s Clean Fleet Vehicle Purchasing Policy. It uses a lithium-ion hybrid battery, which has the ability to be rapidly recharged and provides significant potential reductions in fuel use when decreased engine idle times are factored in. The department purchased a Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid in 2020 and found that its performance met the department’s needs. The 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid has a purchase price of $43,683.51. The cost to outfit this vehicle with emergency and transportation equipment through the South Bay Regional Public Communications authority, commonly referred to as RCC, is $15,666.34 (Attachment 2).

The second recommended vehicle replacement is a Tesla Model Y, which would replace a 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid assigned to the Investigation and Administration Division. The department purchased and deployed a Tesla Model 3 in 2020, which has positive performance results. The purchase of a second Tesla would advance the department’s transition to an all-electric fleet for Administrative Services vehicles. This vehicle has a purchase price of $65,440 (Attachment 3). It would cost approximately $3,200 to outfit this vehicle with emergency and transportation equipment through RCC.

The third recommended vehicle replacement is the purchase of a Chevrolet Traverse to replace a City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 of 5 Printed on 12/22/2022 powered by Legistar™842
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0120
The third recommended vehicle replacement is the purchase of a Chevrolet Traverse to replace a 2014 Chevrolet Caprice previously assigned to the Detective Bureau. This car was totaled in 2020 due to a traffic collision. The purchase of the Traverse would provide the Detective Bureau with a mid -size SUV for surveillance details that can carry multiple passengers and related equipment. The Chevrolet Traverse has a purchase price of $35,598.61 (Attachment 1). It would cost approximately $3,200 to outfit this vehicle with emergency and transportation equipment through RCC.

Lastly, staff recommends replacing two 2014 Ford Explorers with a Honda Accord Hybrid and a Subaru Outback, respectively. The purchase of these vehicles would assist the Detective Bureau with investigations and covert surveillance; it would also diversify the Detective Bureau’s fleet. The Honda Accord Hybrid has a purchase price of $33,778.15 (Attachment 1), and the Subaru Outback has a purchase price of $40,702.00 (Attachment 4). The Subaru would require a request for bid as it is not available through the Sourcewell master vehicle contract. The cost to outfit each vehicle with emergency and transportation equipment through RCC is approximately $3,200 each.

General Plan Consistency:

This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:

Governance Element
Goal 1: A high degree of transparency and integrity in the decision-making process.

Policies:
· 1.3 Priority-based budgeting. Utilize priority-based budgeting to ensure funding allocations are consistent with the priorities set by the community and City Council. · 1.6 Long-term considerations. Prioritize decisions that provide long-term community benefit and discourage decisions that provide short-term community benefit but reduce long-term opportunities.

Mobility Element
Goal 7: A transportation system that results in zero transportation-related fatalities and which minimizes injuries.

Policy:
· 7.6 Pro-active traffic enforcement. Conduct pro-active traffic enforcement along streets where high collision rates, high speeds, and other unsafe behaviors are reported.

Public Safety
City of Hermosa Beach Page 3 of 5 Printed on 12/22/2022 powered by Legistar™843
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0120
Goal 5. High quality police and fire protection services provided to residents and visitors.

Policy:
· 5.2 High level of response. Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and provide desired levels of response, staffing, and protection within the community.

Fiscal Impact:

The total purchase cost of the five vehicles, including painting and outfitting, is $247,668.61. The department budgeted a total of $182,800 in the Equipment Replacement Fund and $70,500 in the Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Fund, which is sufficient to purchase the vehicle replacements.

With the exception of the Tesla Model Y and Subaru Outback, all vehicle purchases would be made from the National Auto Fleet Group through the Sourcewell master vehicle contract #120716. The Tesla model Y would be purchased as a sole source as it is manufactured and sold by Tesla. The Subaru Outback would require a request for bid.

Matt McCool submitted a new eComment.

Meeting: City Council Hybrid Meeting (Closed Session - 5:30 PM and Open Session - 6:00 PM) Item: b. REPORT 22-0120 PURCHASE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLES (Police Chief Paul LeBaron)
eComment: I strongly oppose spending over $65k for of the 2022 Tesla Model Y to replace a Ford Fusion Hybrid. This is nearly double an increase in spending, and a waste of taxpayer dollars. If the true purpose here is an all-electric vehicle, save the money, and go with another Tesla Model 3. This is an administrative vehicle. If the City Council approves this Tesla Model Y purchase, it creates the perception of impropriety that this is a payoff to the command staff for Councilmember favors. More specifically, there appears to be a police coverup of an incident occurring on June 13, 2021.

to prepare an assessment
adjustment study and will
advance that effort – it is
anticipated that the study will
take approximately 2 to 3
months to complete. If council
agrees to advance the
adjustment, it will need to go to
a city-wide ballot.

The annual assessment is
required to go to council each
year for approval and may need
to go to council separately
before the ballot vote. It was
last approved at the 7/13/2021
council meeting.

7 Administrative Memorandum
(AM) on City Branding and
Logo Use by City Staff. City
staff will begin drafting the
AM after finalizing the City’s
style guide and filing its “Intent
to Use” trademark application
for the City logo with the
USPTO. As part of developing
a Licensing Agreement for the
Commercial Use of the City
Logo, staff will establish a
process for reviewing and
handling these requests. This
process will likely include the
negotiation of royalties and as
well as the preparation of a
staff report to obtain Council
approval to enter into the
agreement. Only once after the
City receives the issuance of a
Notice of Allowance from the
USPTO can it begin approving
applications for commercial
uses of the logo.
