RE: April 12, 2022 City Council meeting Closed Session, Item “c,” Anticipated Litigation Dear Mayor Detoy and Honorable City Council:

Based on past closed session agenda items, and an attached letter from Cory Glave for item “c,” I can conclude this anticipated litigation is regarding religious exemptions for your mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for employment with the City of Hermosa Beach.

Here is a Facebook post from the Hermosa Beach Police Officers Association:

Two of our finest officers are in the process of being separated/terminated from the City of Hermosa Beach Police Department this week with more to follow because the city refused to accept or respect their Religious Exemptions request pertaining to the Covid-19 vaccination.

Detective Wayne Lewis, with 21+ years of dedicated service with this police department and Officer Jonathan Cruz, a 14 year Police Officer with the HBPD and a United States Marine veteran, have been placed on administrative leave.

The loss of these officers significantly impacts both patrol and the investigations bureau and will likely negatively affect those officers who must fill the gap to continue providing the city with the service they deserve and expect.

It should be noted that four additional Hermosa Beach police officers are pending similar separations for the same reason.

These officers worked during the entirety of this pandemic without question to maintain a safe Hermosa Beach during these unprecedented times. City leaders were grateful for their service of them until now.

In addition to the loss of these officers, at least three additional officers have set retirement dates for May 1, 2022. This is a significant loss of experienced law enforcement officers in our 39 member department.

These issues were raised multiple times with city leaders and our concerns of public safety fell on deaf ears.

We believe that the public should be aware of these issues given the current knowledge of the efficacy of the vaccine and lifting of COVID mandates across the country.

Additionally, these actions make us the only department in the Southbay with such mandates, blanket denials for religious exemptions, and willingness to toss quality officers to the side.

I believe it is in the best interest of all parties involved to honor the Religious Exemptions request of these two members of the HBPD. Their loss of religious liberties outweighs any potential harm to the City.

Furthermore, the City will most likely lose this litigation, and will come with a substantial financial cost.

Very Respectfully,
Matt McCool

RE: Requesting Legal Justification for Denying Public Records Request of FBI Report Dear Mayor Detoy and City Council:

On February 27, 2020, the Los Angeles office of the FBI received an initial complaint that I posted a threat to blow up City Hall with a U-Haul full of explosives.

The Hermosa Beach Police Department filed that false report in retaliation. For the September 10, 2019 City Council meeting, I submitted into public record a letter reporting a criminal conspiracy by the HBPD to conceal a violent crime:
http://hermosabeach.legistar.com/gateway.aspx?M=F&ID=05517fbe-6f7a-40b4-8952- 0d2dd8f56419.pdf
The post referenced in the complaint submitted to the FBI is dated, May 3, 2019:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/AdvocatesforHermosaBeach/permalink/2070078673121281/ The Hermosa Beach Police Department had knowledge of this post for nearly ten months. A post, where I report I was a victim of a crime by a Stephanie Palmer. The perpetrator filed a false police report against me, and then she bragged about it on Facebook.

On January 24, 2022, I submitted a public records request for the FBI report submitted by the Hermosa Beach Police Department. On March 17, 2022, I was notified by PSO Smith, the records were exempt from disclosure.

Therefore, I am respectfully requesting legal justification from the city attorney’s office for the City denying my public records request of the FBI report falsely stating, I posted a threat to blow up City Hall with a U-Haul full of explosives.

Sic semper tyrannis,
Matt McCool

Subject: Re: A place for seniors at Valley Park
Dear Ms. Nichols
As Director of the HB Parks and Recreation I appreciate that you speak with some authority. You say and I quote:

We strive to maintain a balance of permitted
recreational services, reservations and the community’s enjoyment of City parks.

Here is the thing Ms. Nichols and the answer to one simple question will prove IF the city has really tried to strike a balance.

Where in Valley Park do you suggest groups 8‐15 seniors congregate on weekend mornings if they want to sit & enjoy quiet conversation without piercing whistles and shouting instructors disrupting things within close earshot?
Thank you,
Anthony Higgins
BACKGROUND:

The crescent array of benches used to provide a unique opportunity for groups of ~ 8‐15 seniors to mix with other seniors, younger dog owners, quietly read a book or newspaper on weekend mornings.

It even afforded seniors to interact children curious about the gentle furry creatures that have become family to so many seniors.
25 2
Then pay‐to‐play and loud instructors shouting encouragement, blowing whistles, chanting and using every trick in the book to capture and keep the attention of 20 or so toddlers and 25‐30 cheering family members was granted the field that is within 30 feet of the crescent bench array in the North West corner of Valley Park; and this weekend morning gathering of seniors and other community members withered on the vine and died.

Councilman Jackson clearly implied in his March 3rd email (attached) that if seniors didn’t like trying to read a book or quietly socialize at Valley Park because they found all the shouting, chanting and whistle blowing within close earshot they should find some place other than Valley Park to congregate.

Hello, Mr. Higgins,
The City provided detailed responses and appropriate next steps to this specific request on the following dates:

Saturday, February 5, 2022
Monday, February 7, 2022
Tuesday, February 22, 2022
In our responses, we provided the following information:

We strive to maintain a balance of permitted recreational services, reservations and the community’s enjoyment of City parks.

The request to no longer permit specific areas of the park would require additional discussion, community input, and policy changes.

We permit the use of the northwest field area through the Contract Class Program for Sportball to avoid conflict to any main field activities that may be permitted through the Field Allocation process and since it’s outside of the Outdoor Fitness Permit’s two designated areas within Valley Park. In addition, we also consider impacts to the locations available for reservation through the Park Reservation program.

We did provide an overview of 2021 park permits and programming protocols to our Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission at its regular February meeting. The staff report and attachments are available HERE.

This report can share more information on each permit option available at Valley Park, as well. Each permit option includes policy terms to address balancing the needs of the park and to prevent overprogramming.

The permit options, permits issued and programming protocols for City parks will be further examined and evaluated through the adoption of a new Parks Master Plan and Recreation Needs Assessment, which will include community engagement. We have made note of your request to be further considered through this process.
26 3
Until then, the City sees this matter as closed and will not provide further response to this specific request.

Thank you,
Lisa Nichols |Community Resources Manager

It has been said, Mr. Higgins, that “parks and playgrounds are the soul of a city.” With that being, said - we are fortunate to live in a city with over 20 parks and parkettes (to include our jewel, The Green Belt).

We’re truly blessed to live in a city with such an offering of green space- where residents and visitors can easily find alternate park space to socialize and congregate - if Valley Park is too active for their needs.

Happy Sunday!

REBUTTAL TO JACKSON’s RESPONSE:

Dear Councilman Jackson,
Your statement in the attached email that implies there are plenty of other places for seniors to congregate in valley park. This fails to recognize the unique character of the the crescent array of benches I was referring too.

It also fails to recognize that this spot is unique in both valley park and Hermosa beach as a whole.

Let me explain:

The area of Valley Park in the NW quadrant is a unique crescent array of ~8 benches that affords seniors the opportunity to socialize in groups of more than 1 or 2 and share in what Valley park has to offer.

The crescent array is a friendly design and seniors often need a place to sit if they want to congregate for any length of time.
27 4
It’s not practical for seniors to congregate around the valley park kiddie park benches. They are usually occupied by parents or nanny’s.

With all the birthday parties the benches around the bbq areas that is not a good place for seniors to gather.

The small tables that seat 4 people along valley drive don’t fit the bill because they are so close to the noisy street and can only accommodate 4 people anyway.

The benches along the Greenbelt are not a place for seniors to congregate. They are spaced every ~150 yards and only accommodate 2 people each.

There are no suitable parquet’s in North Hermosa
There is no reason that the NW quadrant of Valley Park cannot be free of pay to play and a quiet zone established.

There is no reason the city could not relocate the noisy sportsball‐pay‐to‐play activity away from these benches and onto the main field OR the field near the Kiwanis building.

Frankly I found the implication in your email (attached) that there are PLENTY of OTHER SUITABLE PLACES for SENIORS TO GATHER to be slightly flippant, rigid, insensitive as well as uninformed.

A tsunami is a series of powerful, fast-moving waves which can impact harbor traffic and infrastructure, and cause coastal flooding and other damage. Tsunamis are typically generated by large, offshore earthquakes, but landslides and volcanic eruptions can cause tsunamis as well. She encouraged to be prepared and learn more about it on the city website and sign up with Alert South Bay to be notified when an emergency occurred.

Ms. Lowenthal explained, in light of recent unplanned or poorly communicated planned electrical outages, on how to file a complaint on any utility provider with the California Public Utilities Commission. The CPUC is highly responsive to complaints filed by the public. They look for trends in identifying areas of concern. During the fourth quarter of 2021, for instance, the CPUC responded to over 1,900 complaints and returned over $300,000 in overbillings. You can lodge a complaint online at cpuc.ca.gov.

City Manager Lowenthal shared that the amount of organic waste being recycled has significantly increased, which helps combat climate change. The city offers complimentary countertop containers for your food scraps, please email [email protected] to make arrangements for pickup. She mentioned staff is creating videos to educate our community about how to separate their waste.

City Manager Lowenthal announced that the city’s e-newsletter was back, but in a shorter and simpler format. To increase our subscribers, we have also launched a newsletter pop-up on the main page of our website. You can always subscribe directly at hermosabeach.gov/enewsletter.

City Manager Lowenthal concluded her report by announcing Hermosa is hiring and congratulated the most recent employees:
 Andrew Nguyen, who was promoted from Assistant Engineer to Associate Engineer;
 Carlos Luis, who was promoted from Associate Planner to Senior Planner;  Rudy Molina, who was promoted from Maintenance Worker I to Maintenance Worker II;

Executive Summary:

In January 2022, City Council approved negotiations for a special event LTA with the Jewish Community Center for its annual Community Chanukah event. Staff worked with the Jewish Community Center to develop the proposed agreement and recommends approval of a two-year agreement commencing December 14, 2022 and expiring December 18, 2023.

Background:

As part of the approval process for the special event LTA policy pilot program, staff received an LTA application in November 2021 from the Jewish Community Center for its annual Community Chanukah Celebration. On January 4, 2022, the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission) reviewed the LTA application and recommended for approval by City Council the commencement of negotiations with the Jewish Community Center. On January 25, 2022, City Council approved Commission’s recommendation.

Discussion:

Once a map has been tentatively approved by the Planning Commission, copies of the tentatively approved map must be submitted to the Los Angeles County Engineer, who is contracted by the City, to review the map for its technical correctness pursuant to Section 66442(a)(4) of the State Subdivision Map Act.

An applicant has two years from the date of tentative map approval to submit for final map approval.

Typically, applicants do not submit for final map approval until the project is near completion and ready to be sold.

Final maps must be submitted to the City Council and must be approved by the City Council, “...if it conforms to all the requirements of [Subdivision Map Act] and any local subdivision ordinance applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval of the tentative map and any rulings made thereunder....” pursuant to Section 66458(a) of the State Subdivision Map Act.

Staff reviewed the Final Parcel Map and found it substantially consistent with the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map approved by the Planning Commission and in conformance with the State Subdivision Map Act.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE AND AMBULANCE MONTHLY
REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 2022
(Emergency Management Coordinator Brandy Villanueva)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council receive and file the February 2022 Fire and Ambulance monthly report.

Executive Summary:

City departments generate monthly reports to provide a snapshot of activities performed each month.

Prior to the transition of fire and ambulance transport services to the County of Los Angeles, the Hermosa Beach Fire Department developed monthly response reports. After the transition, the monthly report was updated to include Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) and McCormick Ambulance information and continues to be uploaded to the website. The following report provides details regarding services provided for the month of February 2022.

Background:

At the February 11, 2020 Council meeting, City Council requested monthly reports be placed onto the City Council agenda under consent calendar. On the July 14, 2020 City Council agenda, the monthly reports began to appear. The enclosed report reflects the services for February 2022.

REPORT 22-0214
Discussion:

The February 2022 monthly report provides an overview of services provided by LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance (Attachment 1: February 2022 LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance Monthly Report).

Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD)
LACoFD and McCormick Ambulance work together to provide emergency medical services (EMS) to the Hermosa Beach community. LACoFD has two apparatus stationed at Station 100 including: one assessment engine (Engine 100) staffed with a Fire Captain, a Fire Engineer and a Firefighter Paramedic; and a paramedic squad (Squad 100) staffed with two Firefighter Paramedics. The paramedic squad (Squad 100) only responds to calls for service exclusively within the City of Hermosa Beach. It does not provide mutual aid, thereby remaining available for calls within Hermosa Beach.

Each of the LACoFD apparatus has the capability of providing basic emergency medical care known as Basic Life Support (BLS) to medical patients. In addition, the paramedic squad has advanced equipment including medications and responds from within the City to address Advanced Life Support (ALS) calls, such as a stroke or heart attack.

McCormick Ambulance is one of the emergency medical transport companies within Los Angeles County. LACoFD does not conduct patient transport, therefore, unincorporated areas are included in the fire department transport contracts with various providers. Contract cities are responsible for negotiating and contracting with a medical transport provider for their community. Within the South Bay, many of the cities have contracted with McCormick Ambulance to conduct emergency medical transportation including the City of Hermosa Beach.

When LACoFD is dispatched, McCormick Ambulance may also be dispatched as the City’s emergency medical transportation provider. LACoFD provides life-saving medical care on scene and continues ALS level care as the patient is transported to a local hospital. In the case of a BLS level call, monitoring and care are safely provided by one of the two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) assigned to the responding ambulance.

LACoFD follows industry standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which outlines call transfer times and total response times. The NFPA standard for call transfer time is that each call will be answered within 60 seconds 90 percent of the time. Additionally, responding units are to be enroute within 60 seconds to EMS related calls and 80 seconds for structure fire calls.

NFPA further stipulates that for EMS calls, responding units must arrive on scene within 8 minutes and 59 seconds 90 percent of the time.

The February 2022 call transfer report provided by LACoFD indicates that one call had a transfer time longer than the NFPA standard. The call were received during a period of increased call volume in the dispatch center.

Table 1 below provides the response details for the one incident.

· Call Transfer Time: The time when the call was actually transferred from South Bay Regional Public Communications Authority also known as Regional Communications Center (RCC). · Length of Transfer: The length of time that it took from LACoFD dispatch center to answer the call from RCC.
· LACoFD Dispatch Time: The time in which appropriate fire apparatus were dispatched to the incident.
· On Scene Time: The time in which the dispatched units arrived at the incident location. · Length of Arrival: The time between when the unit was dispatched and arrived on scene. · Total Response Time: The total combined time between the call transfer time and the length of time arriving units on scene.

McCormick Ambulance
McCormick Ambulances are staffed by two EMT’s who can provide and transport BLS patients independently and, with the support of LACoFD paramedics riding in the ambulance, can also transport ALS patients.

In February 2022, McCormick Ambulance responded to 44 calls for services within the City of Hermosa Beach. The February 2022 report indicated that 11 calls resulted in delayed Code 3 responses, which is a slight decrease in delayed calls from the January 2022 transport report. There were zero delayed Code 2 responses in February 2022. A Code 3 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to a presumed life-threatening emergency, which is typically classified as an ALS call. According to the McCormick Ambulance contract, “response time must not exceed eight (8) minutes, fifty-nine (59) seconds” for a Code 3 incident. A Code 2 response is one where the responding emergency units are driving with lights and sirens to an emergency situation classified as a basic life support or BLS call.

Staff reviewed the February 2022 McCormick Ambulance monthly report. The following outlines the reasons for the delayed responses:
· Multiple Calls: (7) The dispatch center received multiple calls at the same time; · Distance: (2) Based on the location the ambulance begins the response to the City, it could City of Hermosa Beach Page 3 of 4 Printed on 4/8/2022
powered by Legistar™170
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0214
· Distance: (2) Based on the location the ambulance begins the response to the City, it could impact the response time. The City contract does not have a unit permanently stationed within Hermosa Beach, therefore, the responding ambulance often begins the response outside of the City; and
· APOT: (2) Ambulance Patient Offload Time happens when there are three or more ambulances at a hospital waiting at least 30 minutes to transfer care of the patient from the ambulance crew to the hospital for continuation of care.

McCormick Ambulance demonstrates a continuous effort to detect and correct service level performance deficiencies by identifying the reason for delayed response times, issuance of personnel performance notices when mandatory response requirements are not met, and the release of personnel upon continued performance issues. McCormick Ambulance also provides training and continuing education to staff to improve skills and service delivery.

Although the emergency medical transport units were delayed in arriving on scene within the allowable timeframe for 11 calls in February 2022, patients were provided timely life-saving emergency medical care on scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics. When LACoFD arrives on scene, it takes paramedics 5 to 10 minutes to conduct the required treatment protocols prior to commencing transport with McCormick Ambulance. During the patient treatment phase, the requested ambulance is typically on scene waiting for the paramedics to complete their treatment protocols even if the ambulance response is delayed. Los Angeles County Fire Department and McCormick Ambulance are committed to providing excellent emergency medical care, customer service, and response to the residents and visitors of Hermosa Beach.

REPORT 22-0181
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of April 12, 2022

APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION

OF A REPORT FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS

WITHIN THE HERMOSA BEACH LANDSCAPING AND
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT DURING FY 2022-2023
(Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the preparation of a report for the annual levy of assessments within the Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District during Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

Executive Summary:

The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting District (District) collects funds for the maintenance and operation of the citywide street lighting program and landscaping within street medians and parkways. The District must be renewed annually by following a three-step process.

Staff recommends initiation of the renewal process for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

Background:

The Hermosa Beach Landscaping and Street Lighting Assessment District was created in fiscal year 1989-1990, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. The District assessment funds the cost of maintaining and operating street lights, traffic signals, and landscaping located within parkways and medians citywide. The assessment rate per dwelling unit has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996 and is currently set at $41.45.

The anticipated assessment to be collected for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 is $456,346; an additional $229,790 was approved for transfer from the RTI Undersea Cable Fund to the Landscaping and Street Lighting District Fund to cover the shortfall for maintaining the citywide Landscaping and Street Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.

The District must be renewed annually by following a three-step process. First, Council authorizes the Director of Public Works to prepare an engineer’s report containing the estimated cost of maintaining the District, the list of parcels within the District, and the method of apportionment of the City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 4 Printed on 4/8/2022

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0181
maintaining the District, the list of parcels within the District, and the method of apportionment of the assessment. Second, staff presents the engineer’s report to Council for approval and requests to set a date for a public hearing declaring the City Council’s intention to order certain improvements and to levy and collect assessments within the District for the new fiscal year. The third and final step is to hold a Public Hearing to accept public input on the matter of the proposed assessment and, if approved, to levy the assessment for the new fiscal year.

Analysis:

Based on the advice of the City Attorney, the City is in compliance with Proposition 218 and can continue to levy assessments to pay for the maintenance and operation of streetlights, street medians, and parkway landscaping without balloting requirements so long as the assessments are not increased. The assessment rate per dwelling unit has not increased since the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996.

By approving the attached resolution, City Council authorizes initiation of the annual renewal process by authorizing the preparation of an engineer’s report, which would contain maps, methodology, costs, and estimated assessments for the District. The following action items are required in order to levy and collect assessments within the City’s Landscaping and Street Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2022-2023:

1. The Director of Public Works files the engineer’s report consisting of, among other things, the map and the assessments with the City Clerk;

2. The City Council adopts a resolution approving the report as prepared under the direction of the Director of Public Works;

3. The City Council adopts a resolution setting the date, time, and the place for a Public Hearing in order to accept input on the report for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District 2022- 2023;

4. The City Council holds a Public Hearing and adopts a resolution confirming the map and assessment for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and levies the set assessment per-unit rate for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2023; and

5. The City Council adopts the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 estimated revenue for secured collections for the Landscaping and Street Lighting District.

REPORT 22-0200
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of April 12, 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 4/8/2022
powered by Legistar™189
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0200
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.

Neither of these conditions exist. Bars, restaurants schools and grocery stores are open without restriction. There is no imminent threat.

Distancing could easily be accommodated in the council chambers along with vaccine checks and requiring masking. The city by continuing to support virtual-only commission meetings and not requiring all council members and the city manager to attend council meetings in person is

RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS TO MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 12.20: BEACH AND STRAND REGULATIONS
(Community Resources Manager Lisa Nichols)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Approve the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission’s recommended amendments to Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 12.20: Beach and Strand Regulations; and

2. Introduce and waive first reading of an ordinance titled, “An Ordinance of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, Amending Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Chapter 12.20 (Beach and Strand Regulations), and Finding the Same Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.”
Executive Summary:

In September 2019, staff was notified that temporary volleyball courts were installed within the residential zone on the beach, south of 10th Street and north of 15th Street, less than 50 feet from the Strand wall. Due to inconsistences found between City policy and the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC), staff recommended, to the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission (Commission), language updates to Chapter 12.20 Beach and Strand Regulations meant to modernize the City’s regulations and resolve any confusion between City policy and the HBMC.

Staff’s recommendation included the requirement of a 50-foot distance from the Strand wall for any recreational activity and prohibition of recreational activities from blocking beach access points or emergency lanes required by the Los Angeles County Lifeguards. The Commission approved the recommended language changes at its July 7, 2020 meeting, followed by additional review of the language addressing tents on the beach at its August 4, 2020, and final approval at its September 1, 2020 meeting. Scheduling consideration of the recommended amendments for Council review and approval proved challenging as staff worked on reimagining parks and recreation programming, City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 5 Printed on 4/8/2022

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0182
approval proved challenging as staff worked on reimagining parks and recreation programming, classes, and events during the COVID-19 lockdowns restrictions and restoring them as they were lifted. Staffing shortages compounded the delay.

Background:

In September 2019, staff was notified that temporary volleyball courts were installed within the residential zone on the beach, south of 10th Street and north of 15th Street, less than 50 feet from the Strand wall. Upon further investigation, staff found inconsistences between City policy and the HBMC, resulting in enforcement difficulty. Currently, the HBMC does not outline requirements for placement of temporary volleyball courts on the beach. However, City policy requires a 50-foot distance from the Strand wall for the temporary placement of this recreational equipment.

Additionally, the 50 feet from the Strand wall distance is a standard used for the installation of permanent volleyball courts. This is in place for safety reasons including the provision of enough distance between game play and the Strand to eliminate loose balls from going onto the Strand.

Additionally, it provides a reasonable distance from beachfront homes so noise emanating from the volleyball courts would not create a nuisance.

To prioritize the review of the topic and provide a resolution, staff provided recommendations to the Commission at its February 4, 2020 regular meeting including updates to HBMC sections 12.20.060 and 12.20.080 including:
· Language requiring a 50-foot distance from the Strand wall for temporary beach volleyball courts;
· Language requiring that any recreational activity be played at least 50 feet from the Strand wall; and
· Language specifying that recreational activities shall not block beach access or hinder emergency access onto and from the beach by the Los Angeles County Lifeguards.

Additionally, staff requested the Commission review the HBMC sections 12.20.060 and 12.20.080 for general code updates beyond these topics to ensure both sections are aligned with the City’s beach culture and relevant to current times. Commission requested staff to return with drafted language updates. Staff returned to the Commission at its July 7, 2020 regular meeting with comprehensive language updates to Chapter 12 and Commission recommended approval of the recommended amendments with a 4-1 vote.

At its July 7, 2020 regular meeting, Commission also requested staff return with a deeper analysis of HBMC section 12.20.330 addressing tents due to concerns over safety factors related to the use of tents on the beach, specifically the 10 feet by 10 feet pop-up style shade structures. Following outreach with the City’s enforcement teams including the Los Angeles County Lifeguards, the City Attorney’s office reviewed the City’s current language in HBMC section 12.20.0330 with the Los City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 of 5 Printed on 4/8/2022

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0182
Attorney’s office reviewed the City’s current language in HBMC section 12.20.0330 with the Los Angeles County ordinance and found both to be consistent, leading staff to recommend maintaining the current language to the Commission at its August 4, 2020 regular meeting, with the addition of a 10-foot distance requirement from the Strand wall to follow past practice by the City.

The Commission maintained its safety concerns over tents at the beach and requested a subsequent discussion be held at a future meeting with a representative from the City’s code enforcement team and a representative from Los Angeles County to further discuss its concerns. A representative from the City’s code enforcement team and a representative from Los Angeles County Fire Department were present at the Commission’s September 1, 2020 meeting to address the Commission’s concerns. Following the discussion, the Commission recommended approval of the proposed language changes to the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code section 12.20.220 addressing tents to include a 10-foot distance requirement from the Strand wall. Included as Attachment 1 is a redline version of Chapter 12 in its entirety that includes the Commission’s recommended changes.

Past Commission Actions
Meeting Date Description
February 4, 2020 Review of HBMC Chapter 12 sections 12.20.060 and

12.20.080
July 7, 2020 Recommended approval of proposed language changes to HBMC Chapter 12 sections 12.20.060 and 12.20.280
August 4, 2020 Review of HBMC Chapter 12 section 12.20.330 September 1, 2020 Recommended approval of proposed language changes to HBMC Chapter 12 section 12.20.330
Also included in Attachment 1 is an additional modification by staff to address outdated language in the City’s Beach and Strand Regulations that was not considered by the Commission as the subject matter did not fall under the purview of the Commission. This proposed modification proposes removal of the existing regulation regarding the changing of clothing as appears no longer applicable to current norms.

Discussion:

Amendments noted in Attachment 1 include:
· Language changes to section 12.20.330 to include a 10-foot distance requirement from the City of Hermosa Beach Page 3 of 5 Printed on 4/8/2022

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0182
Strand wall for all tents;
· Language changes to section 12.20.060 consistent with the Commission’s input provided at its January 7, 2020 meeting regarding temporary recreational activities and emergency lanes.

These changes removed outdated and overbroad language such as “[n]o sport or throwing of missile of any kind. . .” and language only permitting sports or games on the beach in areas provided for such sports or games, with a more holistic approach to activities, sports and conduct on the beach and Strand. Specifically, that use of the beach and Strand must be done in such a way that it does not constitute a nuisance or hazard to anyone, that games or athletic activity must be more than 50 feet from the Strand Wall, and that, unless otherwise approved by the City, all equipment and personal property must be removed from the beach and cannot remain overnight; and
· Removal of sections 12.20.080 and 12.20.100.
o Section 12.20.080 prohibits the writing upon, marking, staining or otherwise defacing, damaging, moving, removing, or vandalizing of any umbrellas, backrest, blankets, pillows, robes rugs or other beach equipment while it is upon the beach or on private property of any person whatsoever. The proposed changes to section 12.20.060 require the removal of all beach equipment and other existing Penal Code statutes prohibit the damaging or defacing of the property of another.
o Section 12.20.100 prohibits the changing of clothes in any washroom or toilet on any part of the beach and prohibits the use of any vehicle or part of the vehicle for changing clothes before or after bathing in the ocean. If left, this section would prohibit the changing of clothes in the public bathrooms on the beach and similarly prohibit the act of “towel changing” by one’s vehicle anywhere in the City. Existing laws on public nudity/indecent exposure protect against nefarious or reckless behavior and this section

12.20.100 appears to be outdated and no longer applicable to the current norms in the City.

General Plan Consistency:

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

Parks and Open Space Element
Goal 7. The beach offers high quality recreational opportunities and amenities desired by the community.

exempt from the provisions of CEQA as an administrative activity by the City of Hermosa Beach, that will not result in any direct or indirect physical change in the environment, per sections 15061(b)(3), and 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Section 3. Severability.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of April 12, 2022

HERMOSA BEACH CANNABIS ADVISORY GROUP

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(City Manager Suja Lowenthal)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Receive a report regarding the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group and its recommendations; and

2. Consider the City’s options, in light of the cannabis initiative filed with the City Clerk by Colton Chacker on November 17, 2021, and provide direction regarding next steps.

Executive Summary:

At the direction of City Council, the City Manager formed the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group in early 2022. After holding a total of six public meetings, the work of the Cannabis Advisory Group culminates with this report and recommendation to City Council. Staff recommends City Council discuss the recommendations of the group and provide staff direction regarding the City Council’s options.

Background:

On November 17, 2021, the Hermosa Beach City Clerk received an initiative to allow cannabis retail in Hermosa Beach filed by Colton Chacker. At its December 14, 2021 meeting, City Council directed the City Manager to form an Advisory Group, subject to the Brown Act, to explore policy issues and provide City Council with input on whether the City’s current ban on cannabis business operations should be modified.

The City Manager accepted statements of interest from civic-minded residents and business owners interested in serving on Hermosa Beach’s Cannabis Advisory Group and selected six community members to join representatives from the Hermosa Beach City School District, Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, and Beach Cities Health District. All efforts were made to ensure that representation was evenly balanced.

The primary task of the group was to examine whether the City should change its current ban on City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 7 Printed on 4/8/2022

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0212
The primary task of the group was to examine whether the City should change its current ban on cannabis sales and, if so, whether cannabis retail storefront operations or delivery sales from locations within the City, or both, should be permitted in Hermosa Beach. The group was also asked to study and discuss how a change in the ordinance would impact law enforcement and the community. A copy of the Cannabis Advisory Group Workplan is included as Attachment 1.

The group held a total of six public meetings where staff presented information regarding the City’s current ban on cannabis, the cannabis initiative filed with the City Clerk by Colton Chacker, the City’s options in light of the resident proposed cannabis initiative, the potential impact of cannabis sales on law enforcement, City operations, and community character, and the status of similar initiatives in neighboring cities. A series of presentations from guest speakers were also provided including:
· Jonatan Cvetko, Executive Director at United Cannabis Business Association; · Dr. Brian Hurley, Substance Abuse Prevention and Control, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health;
· Tom Bakaly, Chief Executive Officer, Beach Cities Health District (Impacts of Cannabis on Youth and Summary Data); and
· Andrew Salinas, Police Chief, City of Port Hueneme.

At its sixth and final meeting on March 29, 2022, the Cannabis Advisory Group arrived at its final input and recommendations regarding whether the City’s current ban on cannabis business operations should be modified.

Cannabis Advisory Group Recommendations
At its March 29, 2022 meeting, the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group participated in a final voting process regarding its support of key policy issues and options of the City Council. A complete tally of the group members votes is included as Attachment 2. During the final vote, the Chamber of Commerce representative, Dave Davis, clarified for the record that he was voting as an individual City of Hermosa Beach Page 2 of 7 Printed on 4/8/2022

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0212
Commerce representative, Dave Davis, clarified for the record that he was voting as an individual business owner and not as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce. The Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce has a neutral position on this issue. With all nine members present, the group unanimously agreed that they are opposed to the initiative filed with the City Clerk by Colton Chacker on November 17, 2021.

The group also voted unanimously that the lack of a retail storefront in Hermosa does not cause hardship to Hermosa Beach residents and that the City should pursue a flexible tax whether that be in the form of a stand-alone tax measure or as a component of a competing initiative. The final unanimous vote of the group was that the City Council should not adopt a new cannabis ordinance prior to the November 2022 Election to allow cannabis delivery, retail, or other activity.

While the remaining questions did not garner unanimous votes, majority opinions emerged in support of retaining the current cannabis ban on both storefronts and delivery. When asked specifically about delivery activities, a majority of the group supports lifting the ban on cannabis delivery, but does not support allowing a non-storefront delivery based in Hermosa Beach. When asked specifically about non-delivery cannabis retail storefronts, the majority does not recommend lifting the ban.

Overall, a majority of the group members feels that Hermosa Beach residents have adequate access to legal cannabis and that the City Council should create a competing initiative lifting the ban on cannabis deliveries from businesses operating outside the City. The group supports capturing tax revenue from such deliveries.

If City Council determines that it is desirous of a competing initiative related to storefronts, the Cannabis Advisory Group offered the following list of possible regulations for consideration:
· 1,500 foot minimum distance from schools (Attachment 3)-if it would not create a ban; · Restrictions regarding density and proximity to schools, as well as routes to schools; · Prohibition of retail in the area surrounding the Pier; · Prohibition of outdoor advertising;
· Restriction on flavored products and combustibles and products marketed towards youth; · The exploration of a regional agreement with neighboring cities; · Funding for schools and ongoing education;
· Buffer in-between storefront locations;
· Security with Police Department access to security camera system feed; · Limit on number of storefronts;
· Requirement for Conditional Use Permit;
· No cultivating or manufacturing activities;

· Merit based selection process.

City Council Options
To date, City Council has taken the following actions:

1. Requested the formation of an advisory group. The Cannabis Advisory Group has now completed its directive to offer input and recommendations to City Council.

2. Held action to determine whether the filed cannabis initiative would gather the required signatures to qualify for the ballot. The initiative gathered the required signatures and at its March 22, 2022 meeting, City Council voted to receive and file the Certificate of Sufficiency for the proposed Chacker initiative.

3. Rejected adoption of the Chacker initiative. At its March 22, 2022 meeting, the City Council opted not to adopt the resident initiative by ordinance and instead submit the ordinance, without alteration, to the voters in the November 8, 2022 Municipal Election.

Moving forward, the City Council options include:

1. Take No Further Action
Allow the voters to decide on the initiative filed by Colton Chacker.

2. City Initiated Cannabis Ordinance or Competing Initiative If the City Council is inclined to allow some type of cannabis business activity in the City, but differently than as proposed in the initiative, the City Council could direct staff to prepare such an ordinance for Council adoption any time before the November 8, 2022 election. An ordinance would give the Council the ability to amend the ordinance, as needed. If the Council were to enact an ordinance before the November 8, 2022 election, Council could then take a position against the initiative filed by Colton Chacker.

Alternatively, the ordinance could be placed on the ballot to compete with the initiative and drafted in such a way that the ordinance with the most votes would control. As noted above, voter approved ordinances cannot be repealed or revised in the future by the City Council unless they expressly allow it. This option is only advisable if the Council desires to allow cannabis operations in a different manner or scope than allowed by the initiative-for example, reducing the number of City of Hermosa Beach Page 4 of 7 Printed on 4/8/2022
powered by Legistar™212
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0212
in a different manner or scope than allowed by the initiative-for example, reducing the number of allowed retail businesses or limiting cannabis sales to delivery only.

3. Ballot Measure for a Cannabis Business Tax
The proposed ordinance does not provide for a tax on cannabis operations separate and apart from the City’s standard business tax. Many cities that have allowed commercial cannabis uses have asked its voters to approve a corresponding local cannabis tax; under Proposition 218, such a tax must be approved by the voters. Given that the ordinance qualified for the ballot, City Council may want to consider placing a cannabis business tax on the ballot as well. The deadline to place the tax measure on the ballot with this initiative would be early August for the November 2022 election.

A special tax can be placed on the ballot by a simple majority vote of the City Council but must be approved by two-thirds of the voters who vote in the election. General taxes must have two-thirds support from the City Council to be placed on the ballot but only require approval by a majority of the voters who vote in the election.

The taxes on cannabis products in other cities vary widely, but typically range from 2.5 percent to 20 percent of gross receipts or are based on square footage. Commonly, the taxes are general taxes meaning that the revenues can be used for unrestricted general revenue purposes of the City. The Cannabis Advisory Group recommends a flexible tax option that would allow the City the ability to adjust the rate as needed.

Additional Considerations

1. Maintaining the City’s Existing Ban on Cannabis Retail If a majority of the voters reject the Chacker initiative, the existing ban would remain in place. No action would be required by the Council to retain the City’s existing ban.

2. Limits on the Expenditure of Public Funds
Public funds may not be used to campaign or advocate for or against a ballot measure. They may, however, be used to provide objective and educational information to the electorate about the impact of a measure on the community. The law does allow the City Council to take an official position on a measure and to communicate that position to the community. In addition, nothing prevents individual Councilmembers from advocating for or against a measure at their own expense.

Staff recommends City Council discuss the recommendations provided by the Cannabis Advisory City of Hermosa Beach Page 5 of 7 Printed on 4/8/2022 powered by Legistar™213

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH

CANNABIS ADVISORY GROUP WORKPLAN

OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE
At its December 14, 2021 meeting, following a discussion prompted by the filing of an initiative by an industry-related proponent to allow cannabis retail in Hermosa Beach, the City Council directed the City Manager to form an Advisory Group, subject to the Brown Act, to explore policy issues and provide City Council with input on whether the City’s current ban on cannabis business operations should be modified.

The Cannabis Advisory Group will examine whether the City should change its current ban on cannabis sales and, if so, whether cannabis retail storefront operations or delivery sales from locations within the City, or both, should be permitted in Hermosa Beach. The group will also study and discuss how a change in the ordinance would impact law enforcement and the community. The work of the Cannabis Advisory Group will culminate in a report and recommendation to City Council. The information will be advisory only and does not obligate City Council in any manner.

The group will hold at least four or five public meetings of at least three to four hours in length.

The meetings will be conducted by teleconference and will include testimony from the public.

DECISION-MAKING
The Advisory Group will adhere to the Brown Act, meaning that its meetings will be open and public. The meetings will be conducted virtually, similar to City Council meetings. Staff and subject matter experts will make presentations to assist the Advisory Group in its discussions.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Public participation will be structured in a manner to provide residents and interested parties the opportunity to provide public comment while maintaining adequate time and opportunity for the Advisory Group members to deliberate, discuss, and develop recommendations. In order to allow for broad participation while allowing time for group deliberation, the amount of time 216
2 allowed for individual public comments will be based on the number of interested speakers at each meeting.

ADVISORY GROUP ORGANIZATION
As directed by the City Council, the City Manager will carefully select Advisory Board members representing public safety, the health district, the school district, and members of the community; all efforts will be made to ensure that representation is evenly balanced.

The following Advisory Group members will be selected and appointed by the City Manager in accordance with direction provided by City Council:
• Six Community Representatives – Residents or Business Owners • Business Representative — Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau • Health Representative — Beach Cities Health District
• School District Representative — Hermosa Beach City School District The following City staff will provide guidance and technical support to the advisory group:
• Suja Lowenthal—City Manager
• Paul LeBaron—Chief of Police
• Ken Robertson—Community Development Director
• Mike Jenkins (or designee)—City Attorney

WORKPLAN OUTLINE
As the advisory group progresses through its workplan, it shall do so recognizing that its ultimate task is to provide input and make recommendations for Council consideration. The workplan will begin with an introduction and orientation to cannabis policy and related issues. Through the course of the meetings, the Cannabis Advisory Group will explore the following:
• Should cannabis be sold in Hermosa Beach or should the current ban be maintained? • If cannabis sales should be allowed in Hermosa Beach, should the sales be in the form of retail or delivery only?
• If retail sales should be allowed, in what areas of town should they be allowed to locate? How many should be allowed?
• Is there a community population in Hermosa Beach that needs cannabis who do not currently have access?
• What is the potential impact of cannabis sales on law enforcement and community character?

The City of Hermosa Beach announced today that it is seeking statements of interest from civic‐minded residents and business owners who are interested in serving on Hermosa Beach’s Cannabis Advisory Group.

HERMOSA BEACH, CA – The City of Hermosa Beach announced today that it is seeking statements of interest from civic‐ minded residents and business owners who are interested in serving on Hermosa Beach’s Cannabis Advisory Group. The City is establishing the group in response to the Hermosa Beach City Council’s request for input on whether Hermosa Beach should modify its ordinance that bans cannabis sales in the City limits.

Petition organizers that represent the cannabis industry are currently seeking signatures to qualify an initiative for the ballot that would change the City’s ban on cannabis sales and would allow for the establishment of up to two retail cannabis operations in Hermosa Beach.

The Cannabis Advisory Group will examine whether the City should change its current ban on cannabis sales and, if so, whether cannabis retail operations or delivery sales should be permitted in Hermosa Beach. The Cannabis Advisory Group will also study how a change in the ordinance would impact law enforcement and the community.

Members of the Cannabis Advisory Group should be available to participate in at least four or five public meetings of at least two to three hours in length. The meetings will be conducted by teleconference and will include testimony from the public.

Per the Council’s instructions, the Cannabis Advisory Group will include representatives of the Hermosa Beach City School District, Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau and Beach Cities Health District. The six other members of the Cannabis Advisory Group will be drawn from the community.

Hermosa Beach residents and business owners who are interested in serving on the Cannabis Advisory Group may submit their statements of interest to [email protected]. The deadline is January 13, 2022. In your submission, please include your contact information including phone, address and email. Also please include information about your qualifications, including any experience you have with cannabis and what, if any opinion, you have about cannabis sales in Hermosa Beach. For additional information, please see the Cannabis Advisory Group’s workplan at https://www.hermosabeach.gov/our‐government/city‐manager/community‐advisory‐groups. 221

Subject: FW: City of Hermosa Beach: Press Release | CIVIC-MINDED RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS INVITED TO SUBMIT STATEMENTS OF INTEREST FOR HERMOSA’S CANNABIS ADVISORY GROUP Hi Ann,
I am interested in participating in the Cannabis Advisory Group. As you know, I have participated in several advisory groups in the past, including ones to develop the 20 Year Plan and whether or not to go with LA County Fire. Both assignments required me to compile data and submit the results in either Word or Excel and/or paper format.

I believe that my good communications and writing skills will be an asset to the team. I come to this with an open mind and no preconceived notions, which I believe is a good starting point. In my experience in software development and as a telecom project manager, it is always good to have the “new kid” on the team to bring a fresh perspective and to ask the question others might not think are necessary. I look forward to working with the team.

Thank you for your consideration,
Andrea Valcourt

Subject: Cannabis advisory committee interest
Hello Ms. Lowenthal,
As a parent, and resident of this city for 24 years, I am very interested in the Cannabis committee being formed to “study” if the city should change its plan for the sales of Cannabis in the city. I have been on a couple of committees so I understand the research, study and thoughtful contemplation needed to go into a report for the city.

I have not had any experience with cannabis, just reading articles about affects on children, and listening to attorneys and police discussions about the dangers of marijuana. But I do know that cannabis is not just smoking marijuana.

I am not in favor of any cannabis stores in the city. This opinion is not just because I have not had experience with cannabis.

The form is still down online so thought I would email that I hope you will consider me.

SUBMISSION FOR HERMOSA BEACH CANNABIS ADVISORY COUNCIL
From Heidi Anderson-Swan
I educate about the mental health harms of marijuana. Last year, I taught continuing education webinars for both lawyers and professional fiduciaries.

As far as I know, these are the first of their kind.

Additionally, I give presentations about a Young Adult book/film/play I wrote with my brother called A Night In Jail. It is a fictional story illustrating the short and long-term risks of youth marijuana use. Utilizing this material, I have spoken for the 2nd Annual Teaching Cannabis Awareness & Prevention Virtual Conference, Smart Approaches to Marijuana, National Alliance on Mental Illness (Long Beach and Solano County), Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers of New York State, Community Coalitions of Virgina, and others.

I have been interviewed on several podcasts/radio shows. NBC-LA reported on a screening of our short film, A Night In Jail. They covered an event cosponsored by MBSafe (a local, private organization that helps the homeless).

As a board member of Parents Opposed to Pot, I was recently interviewed by Fox.com about the prospect of marijuana legalization at the federal level.

There are two other nonprofit organizations where I serve on the Board/Advisory Council: Every Brain Matters and Johnny's Ambassadors.

Locally, I am involved in The Prevention Community Council through Behavioral Health Services and a member of Rethinking Access to Marijuana.

Because I have so many relationships with prevention organizations in California and across the country, I am regularly updated about the science on marijuana and the consequences of its normalization and commercialization. My involvement as an educator and advocate makes me uniquely qualified to serve on the Advisory Council in Hermosa Beach. 224
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH MARIJUANA:

As teenagers, my brother and I used marijuana. It was the late 70’s—the height of youth marijuana use in our country. In this era, the potency of THC (the psychoactive ingredient) was about 5%. One time, I was using it with my best friend, and I suddenly did not know who she was or where I was. She was fine. But I was not. I did not like losing touch with reality, so I stayed away from the drug.

My brother really liked “the fun house experience” it gave him. He used a little bit, every day, all the way through high school, college, and graduate school.

After graduation, he went on to cocaine and then crack. In short order, he was homeless or in jail.
10-15% of the population is predisposed to psychosis and most of us don’t know it. Marijuana, even at very low potencies (2-8% THC), is an environmental risk factor for a psychotic reaction. My own experience illustrates this: I never lost touch with reality before or after I used marijuana.

Only that one time. And, as I said, my friend did not have this reaction at all.

Today’s products are anywhere between 10-20 X stronger than what my brother and I were using. Like most people I know, I was unaware of the ultrahigh potency products when we voted for legalization.

Young people are increasingly using ultra-high potency THC dabs & vapes.

There are no long-term studies on the risks of these products. To make matters worse, many parents assume the relatively low risks of old-fashioned, low-potency-weed apply to these new, ultra- high-potency fruity marijuana vapes, THC suppositories, tampons, dabs, shatter, creams, candies, cookies, oils, etc. They simply haven’t been updated about the short-term risks that include paranoia, hallucinations, vomiting, psychosis. The lack of basic awareness makes these products even more dangerous.

OPINION ABOUT SALES IN HERMOSA BEACH
I voted for legalization in California. My reasons for doing so were primarily to keep some people out of jail. Another reason I voted for it was because we, as a community, were promised we could decide if we want to have retail sales or not. The assumption that Hermosa Beach voters want legal outlets simply because we voted in favor of Prop 64 is, at least partially, erroneous. 225
There is a large amount of data to show harms to communities that have any legal retail. Because of this, I am strongly against legal retail sales of any kind in Hermosa Beach.

Some harms to a community include but are not limited to: increase of marijuana-impaired driving fatalities, increased crime, increase of illicit products/activities, increased youth use, lowers property values and increases homelessness and more. Much of this data can be found at www.NoPotShops.com
These harms will be costly to Hermosa. How will we pay these extra expenses? The industry is demanding tax reform; Governor Newsom, and some in the Legislature, support this.

Legal Cannabis is a cash-only business, known for murky bookkeeping, that admits to doing business with the illegal market.

How can Hermosa Beach shake hands with such an industry and allow it closer access to our youth?

Subject: Submission for Hermosa Beach Advisory Panel for Cannabis Attention City Managers Office,
My name is Matt Cottrell. I am a long time resident of Hermosa Beach and am interested in serving on the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group. I have spent the last 9 years immersed in the State Licensed Cannabis Industry as a multi-state operator in both Arizona and Oregon as a retailer and a manufacturer. I have first hand experience with the licensing procedure in both states including the transitions from Medical Marijuana programs to Adult-Use (recreational) in each state respectively. I have personally experienced the downside of poorly executed municipal MMJ programs and have also experienced first hand the benefits of a well thought out, and properly executed MMJ program as well. I can not emphasize enough that there is a VAST difference between the two. Hermosa sits in the fortunate position of being able to explore which municipalities have done things that have benefited their communities, and which have been abject failures. I do not see Hermosa's "wait and see" approach as a hindrance in the least. Waiting has allowed the Hermosa Community to build a program that encompases the strongest attributes of the most successful programs while avoiding the pitfalls that so many municipalities have experienced.

In addition, over the last 9 years, I have worked hand in hand with law enforcement including: the creation of security plans, community outreach programs, analyzing crime statistics and the effect that cannabis has had on the community and surrounding areas, working with Community Safety Officers, working with State Marijuana Enforcement Officers and Inspectors for both the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commision, and have deployed measures to mitigate any potential adverse effects that cannabis related businesses would have on the community at large.

The current proposed ballot initiative for Hermosa should be explored objectively to avoid such pitfalls and the current draft language is problematic to say the least. The language in these initiatives must be scrutinized and the public needs to be made aware that the authors of this language are at the very least attempting to create a monopoly within the city limits with zero benefit to the community via city taxes.

If the voters agree to this, they must be given the chance to do so only after having been fully informed.

To be clear, I am not a cannabis user. But I have seen, first hand the benefits of cannabis use and I am an advocate for the legal sale and distribution of it. The current situation that the Hermosa Beach Community finds itself in is one where black market operators are continuing to thrive.. Some of these operators may even look like legitimate delivery services but I can assure you, they are not. Contrary to popular belief, most of the app's where people go to, to find delivery services do not perform any sort of scrutiny as to whether an operator is operating within the parameters of the state licensed system or are even licensed operators at all. And the fact that they are mobile, and not at a fixed location, makes enforcement even more difficult. This is a massive problem which allows the black market to thrive in the Hermosa Community while providing zero upside to the community as a whole.

Thank you for allowing me to submit my information. I respectfully request to be considered for inclusion in the Hermosa Beach Cannabis Advisory Group. 227
Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
Matt Cottrell

Subject: Cannabis Advisory Group
To Whom It May Concern,
Please consider this message my indication of interest for a position on Hermosa Beach’s Cannabis Advisory Group. I have studied the cannabis space from a business perspective for over a decade. While at Morgan Stanley, I was responsible for significant research into the cannabis legalization efforts in Oakland beginning in 2007. Additionally, I believe my public speaking and policy research background compliments my experience in finance which can offer a useful perspective for our city council and residents. I do not have a set or specific agenda or opinion with regards to cannabis sales in our city.

Instead, I believe the city should take a measured, data-driven approach toward understanding and balancing the risks and rewards from inviting cannabis businesses into our community. As this change in Hermosa law has the potential to have far reaching impacts in the city, it is imperative that members of this group are comfortable working with complex data and are sensitive to the concerns of our fellow residents.

Thank you for your consideration, I have included my CV as an attachment and more information about my professional background can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathantribble/. Thank you for your time and consideration please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly by responding to this email, my cell phone or via post.

Hi Ann,
I'd like to submit myself for consideration to the Cannabis advisory group.

Beyond occasional recreational use when I was younger I'm not a regular cannabis user currently, but the vast majority of the people I know definitely are.

I'm of the opinion that with legalization at the state level and the likely pending legalization at the federal level that we'd be foolish not to set up a legal framework locally to benefit the city and residents. Letting a resident craft the initiative on behalf of a special interest org instead of the city also seems like a poor strategy.

I don't have any specific civic experience but I've worked at large companies at the executive level for many years and have received various training in group dynamics, communication, and collaboration.

Let me know if/how I can help!

The homeless issue looms over our landscape and drug shops can only make that problem worse. If someone wants access to drug shops, sadly they don't have far to drive. So, please, let's keep the beach cities pure with the natural beauty we all love.

eComment: The City Council should NOT sponsor a ballot initiative to legalize dispensaries in town. I understand the industry sponsored initiative is poorly written, but the response of the city should be to instead hold a series of informational forums so everyone can see the truth of today’s cannabis industry and the ill effects on the community. NOT to be on the side of those pushing drug usage onto our community. This runs counter to everything we have established in our town that supports healthy living. How can a City Council support drug usage when at the same time smoking cigarettes is banned? How can a City Council support drug usage when flavored nicotine vapes are banned? Decades ago, the THC potency levels were 5% to 6% - or lower. Today, THC potency levels are 70% or higher - and as you can imagine, the effect on people using cannabis is dramatically different than it was decades ago. Nowadays, cannabis is linked to cannabis use disorder, which can lead to suicidal ideation. More information is coming out that demonstrates links between cannabis and violence and schizophrenia. The industry does everything they can to suppress this and instead, they refer to cannabis as medicine. That is a fallacy – marijuana is NOT medicine. It is a drug, and now it is a dangerous drug. The reason the cannabis industry is pushing so hard is because their goal is to become entrenched in communities before people truly understand the harms of today's cannabis. If they can set up shop and proliferate and addict community members, they have won. And who loses? Everyone who has a child, sibling or relative who has been enticed to use marijuana – whether it is by edibles, which are marketed to children or whether it is vaping or dabbing, which is one of the highest potency products available. I hope every parent is aware that when a dispensary opens within 4 miles of where someone lives, children are more apt to try the drug. The industry has packaged products to appeal to children – whether it is in the form of candy or cereal or baked goods. This is done for a specific reason – the earlier they can addict someone, the better. But parents beware – if teenagers become users of cannabis, they can suffer permanent changes to 240
their brain development. From an environmental perspective, cannabis cultivation consumes tremendous amounts of water and energy. Considering we are in a nearly continuous drought and will most likely suffer electricity outages this summer, why would we “feed the beast” and allow this product to be sold in our town? Bizarrely, there are still people who call this “fear mongering” and do not want to admit the truth. It is hard to understand how people can care so little about the welfare of others, but sadly, that is the case. It doesn’t make it right and does nothing to promote the healthy living perspective that has been the ethos and culture of Hermosa Beach.

eComment: DO NOT LET THE CARTELS GET A FOOTHOLD IN HERMOSA BEACH! The horrible and undeniable fact is that illegal marijuana will never go away. In fact, illegal marijuana sales is at 8 billion dollars, double the legal sales. You see, the tired excuse some use to legalize another substance that will absolutely impact the development of our children, is that legalization will reduce crime. Actually it is just the opposite. Crime always goes up around the dispensaries.

Cartels, from south of the border, already supply dispensaries with marijuana. This will NOT end.

Pro-hemp folks comment that taking away the profit incentive from illegal sales, will cause it to go away. NOPE! Any time the government gets involved, prices go up. Restrictions, regulations and other economic factors, will always favor the illegal grower. Does anyone really think that an organization that skins people alive and cuts up family members in front of each other, will actually stop a business that is making them billions of dollars? That is complete nonsense and will not happen. What you will get, is competition, which always leads to violence. It will also increase the amount of buds on the streets. The cartels will increase THC content to contend with the legal industry. They will always be more efficient and have a huge presence in the market. It astounds me that people are still victims of the 60's when smoking pot was the hip trip.

We have learned so much since then and if you are doing your own research and not listening to the propaganda coming from the very wealth hemp industry, you would understand the dangers presented to society by marijuana. It is, in fact, a very dangerous drug that, due to it's well financed acceptance, has widespread use by kids. Everything about marijuana, especially the new highly potent strains, is dangerous to a developing human being. Cases of psychosis are on the rise and attributed to the higher THC levels in today's weed. During the 60's, street level buds were approximately 3-5% THC. Today it is common to find buds running at a high 30% to 40% THC. Much stronger marijuana can be obtained, but is not commonly offered at dispensaries. Hemp industry people will tell you that legalization will not increase the use of kids. 243
Well, that just is not true. They will point to studies that show no marked increase in juvenile use after legalization, but that is, in my experience, a very flawed statistic. Kids are not going to tell you if they are smoking marijuana, thereby skewing results. The FACT is that any industry that wishes to remain viable, MUST get the youth involved or they risk loosing their ability to sell in the future. Why is it that we realized this fact in regard to the tobacco industry, but totally ignore the market dynamics involve with maintaining a viable marijuana industry? The marijuana industry has a HUGE carbon footprint and uses an inordinate amount of energy. The grow lights, vent fans, water pumps and other associated grow equipment, is a huge energy draw. So much so, that illegal grows were discovered by checking residential electricity usage. Growers then got hip and began stealing electricity by means of tapping into the system before the meters. We then used heat sensing cameras, mounted in helicopters, to find the illegal taps. So much energy is used, that the illegal taps glow like a bonfire at night. I can't imagine how Hermosa Beach could support an industry that has such a huge carbon footprint. Please do not put another nail in the coffin of our sweet little beach town, by turning it into Venice south. If you have a hankerin' for that environment, take a little drive north and enjoy. Just don't bring the insanity here!!!

The history of Hermosa Beach had been known for 50+ years to be the drug dealing Little community, sad isn't it? We've come a long way since then. It was known as the ugly step child of the south bay! AND you want to digress. Our fore fathers hard work, time and efforts to turn Hermosa Beach around and you are willing to destroy it? You don't enforce the liquor that is inhaled on our Pier, J-walking, dogs on the beach, the electric bikes speeding on the Strand and the alley, Hermosa Ave. By the way, isn't there a law that you Can Not drive a motorized ANYTHING without a license? Yet you let this slide you aren't enforcing some of the simplest of Laws. And YOU think you are capable of enforcing a Cannabis (still a drug) retailers (Cartel?), Think of the children, look at the mayhem that has littered our little community...if you allow this to happen, you will be opening the front door to the most horrific disaster to the community. ALL for profits/money? Rule not by profit alone but with your conscience. Spend your efforts on getting control of our little town and enforce the laws that we have. Please...Don't bring this into Hermosa,

eComment: Dear City Council Members, Please oppose any initiative that would allow cannabis dispensaries in Hermosa Beach. Marijuana is legally available online and easy for adults to access. There are so many other kinds of businesses that our city should try to attract that are family friendly. Please preserve our healthy and family friendly town. Increasing visibility and access to marijuana will cause more harm than good in our children and teens.

Please place your priorities on the safety and well being of our residents; especially the children. Vote NO on these dispensaries.

Our family has seen first hand how Devastating marijuana can be amongst our children and teenagers. Making it locally accessible is a bad idea on so many levels. Please appose this. Thanks.

eComment: I do believe the kids need to be educated. I do believe a tax should be allowed and a majority going to the schools for education and school needs. Delivery is already allowed in the city of Hermosa Beach so I'm not clear why they need to lift that ban. I personally think a storefront fits with the ideals of Hermosa Beach. I believe the limit of one to two stores maximum should be allowed. I think there are storefronts available. Thinking about PCH on the south end of the city, South end of Hermosa Ave, Possibly on Aviation if there is enough distance from the schools. I do believe the storefront should not be able to advertise outside nor should it be close to schools or walking access to the schools. I do agree the voters should be able to choose.

Thank you

eComment: In our community, where kids are roaming around without adults all day long, feels very wrong to have marijuana stores right there available and accessible to them. Adults if need it, know how to get it. But making it accessible to children / teens is a bad idea. Please put children's safety and wellbeing first . We want to keep Hermosa safe for our children. I strongly oppose it.Thank you!

eComment: We don't want the increased crime and other problems that are associated with having pot shops in our city. I strongly oppose them. If there is very strong community support for it, I am potentially open to having legal, regulated and taxed delivery services available to the residents, but only if the regulations include a complete ban on any advertising that might be visible to anyone under the age of 21 and a complete ban on waxes, dabs, oils and any other concentrates or processed products.

eComment: The advisory committee was clear on one point. By a substantial majority the committee voted that the city should put forth a competing initiative AND not a watered down initiative that just allows delivery's to be taxed. Put the power in the hands of the people AND let us VOTE. I suggest a couple of city sponsored initiatives, one for a full shop in HB that allows the purchase of medicinal and consumer grade marijuana one that allows the city to tax deliveries and one that restricts everything. Let the one that sets the most votes win.

eComment: Hermosa invests a lot in health and longevity. We are a Blue Zone. https://abc7.com/archive/7835437/ The Blue Zones say, “Research from the Framingham Studies shows that smoking, obesity, happiness, and even loneliness are contagious. So the social networks of long-lived people have favorably shaped their health behaviors.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6125071/ How can we, as a health-minded Blue Zone Community, say we are for this substance linked to increase in childhood cancer? https://bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12885-021-08598-7 Many don't know it's linked to testicular cancer: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19204904/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22965656/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20925043/ Plus, it's also harmful to sperm. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7385722/ We should be strongly against anyone using it in public. We have a right to not be exposed to toxins and to breathe clean air. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/apr/01/secondhand-bong-smokeworse-tobacco-study In 2016, Hermosa cracked down on outdoor smoking and we should do it again. Fines were between $100-$500. https://www.dailybreeze.com/2016/07/27/want-to-smokein-hermosa-beach-starting-next-month-good-luck/ If our community wants to make money from this drug, I suggest we put fines on those exposing others to their use. That would be consistent with our long-term investment in the Blue Zones.

I strongly oppose this measure. Marijuana leads to stronger drugs and alcohol. Our children deserve to stay healthy and thrive.

eComment: We should do whatever it takes to prevent a store selling grass in our town. Every possible location would negatively affect someone's home and family. The store would bring drug users to the streets where kids live and play. If it was placed on PCH, customers, some of which will be addicts, will be using residential streets to and from to get onto PCH. Same goes for aviation. The challenge to teach our kids to stay away from drugs is much harder if they see a storefront in our town. Adults who require these drugs for medical purposes or just to get high can already get it delivered within minutes.

eComment: As a mother of two young children, I vehemently oppose lifting the ban on storefronts selling marijuana in Hermosa. Allowing these shops to operate in our tiny familyheavy town will normalize drug use to our young impressionable children. Lifting the ban will also likely have additional negative effects such as increased criminal activity and lowering property values. Anyone who needs or wants marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes has many convenient delivery options. Hermosa Beach definitely should NOT be a destination for buying drugs. City Council please don’t ruin our wonderful town - no pot shops in Hermosa!!! View and Analyze eComments

eComment: I strongly oppose cannabis dispensaries in Hermosa Beach. I live directly across the street from one of the sites that was proposed for a dispensary with my wife and 11 year old daughter. The site was described as a commercial zone suitable for a dispensary, but our proximity to the beach results in our residential and commercial zones being so close to one another that they blend together. I previously worked in an area that allowed dispensaries and saw the negative impact one such establishment had on the area around my office. The store had armed security outside the front door at all times because they only accepted cash (I understand the requirement to transact in cash is a result of the Federal Ban on cannabis which makes it difficult for these stores to have traditional banking relationships). I believe allowing these stores in our neighborhood will increase crime and vagrancy in our community as they did in the neighborhood I previously worked. Would you want a dispensary next door to you? Please don’t allow cannabis dispensaries in Hermosa Beach.

Greetings,
As a lifelong Hermosa Beach resident I strongly oppose Cannabis Dispensaries opening in the City of Hermosa Beach.

Opening a dispensary in the city would certainly attract a bad element. Bring in cannabis and you open the door to increased violent crime since these businesses deal with large amounts of cash. They, and their patrons, are frequently targeted by armed criminals. In addition, the pungent odor of pot, which is already common along the Strand, will be pervasive in all parts of the city, regardless of whatever smoking ordinances the city enacts.

Hermosa residents already have pot delivered directly to their homes, so why is a physical location in Hermosa necessary?
The answer is: it is not.

Oppose this.

Regards,
Chris Prenter

eComment: An dispensary initiative is going on Novembers ballot. This is a certainty. Because there was, to my knowledge, no scientific polling of Hb voters on this issue, we have to assume that 70% of the voters are going to support an initiative that allows a dispensary. Without data that conflicts with this assumption, the City NEEDS to put on an initiative on the ballot so this dispensary can be regulated. Any choice otherwise is irresponsible.

eComment: I strongly oppose any regulation that would allow marijuana sales or delivery in Hermosa Beach. The data in other cities that have embraced marijuana sales shows that there is no effective mechanism to keep the drug out of the hands of teenagers. It is supposed to be illegal for anyone under 21 to possess or consume marijuana, yet, marijuana use has exploded amongst teenagers. Any regulation that would make it easier to purchase marijuana in our town would only contribute to this problem. Bringing marijuana stores/delivery to our small town would be a mistake.

eComment: After attending all of our City's Cannabis Committee meetings one thing is certain, we have very different view points on whether we should have a dispensary in Hermosa. There is data on both sides of this argument. For those who think it is legal to deliver cannabis in our city...it is not. We do not collect taxes and law enforcement cannot seem stop this type of access. So, if you have cannabis delivered to you in our city...it is done, illegally. Unfortunately, it is not up to one person, this committee, or even council whether a cannabis shop will open. It will be up to the majority of the voters in Hermosa. Currently, the "Chacker Cannabis" initiative, which will allow dispensaries in our city gathered enough signatures to be on the November ballot. Now, 71% of Hermosa voters supported Prop 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana to Legalize Cannabis in California). So, I ask those who wish to continue the ban, if that is the will of the people they will vote against it and any measure created by council. If we want to stand a chance against the "Chacker Cannabis" initiative, we need to present a united front. I support our council drafting its own initiative. One that has enough regulations and guidelines that will give our community and law enforcement a chance to address our concerns. If council doesn't draft its own initiative, our community will be left to deal with the demands and requirements of this one-sided "Chacker" measure, if it passes. Now, if we want to maintain control, our council needs to put up a good fight. At minimum, a tax measure should be drafted to collect funds. We need to come together as a community and present a united front against this "Chacker" measure. In the end, the voters will decide.

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0189
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council Regular Meeting of April 12, 2022

APPROVAL OF LETTER SUPPORTING
ASSEMBLY BILL 2140 (MURATSUCHI, AL):

ONCE-THROUGH COOLING POLICY: POWERPLANTS
(Environmental Programs Manager Douglas Krauss)
Recommended Action:

Staff recommends City Council:

2. Submit the letter to key legislators and local stakeholders.

Executive Summary:

Assembly Bill 2140 (AB2140) proposes to ensure that the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) does not grant an operator of a power plant any further extension to comply with the once-through cooling (OTC) policy if the city the power plant is located in formally adopts a resolution objecting to any further extension. Staff recommends City Council approve a letter supporting the proposed legislation. If enacted, AB2140 would further reinforce the City’s efforts to help Redondo Beach to expedite closure of the AES plant.

Background:

The 50-acre AES Redondo Beach property, just south of the Hermosa Beach border in the City of Redondo Beach, has been used for electricity generating purposes for over a century. Originally developed by Henry Huntington under the Pacific Light and Power Company, the property was acquired by Southern California Edison in 1917, redeveloped in the 1940s, and sold to the AES Corporation in 1997.

Between 2015 and 2016, the City of Hermosa Beach engaged as an intervenor in proceedings related to the AES site, providing support to Redondo Beach based on the cities’ shared concerns about the impacts of a potential new power plant. During that time, Hermosa Beach staff participated in California Energy Commission (CEC) meetings related to the project including telephone City of Hermosa Beach Page 1 of 4 Printed on 4/8/2022
powered by Legistar™276
Staff Report
REPORT 22-0189
in California Energy Commission (CEC) meetings related to the project including telephone participation at status conferences, monitoring the CEC’s project docket, attending community workshops, and participating in joint conference calls with state agencies.

In response to Water Board regulations affecting coastal power plants that use ocean water for cooling, AES proposed to retire the power generating units by 2020. Any change in the use of the site, other than for park and open space, would require a zoning amendment and General Plan amendment. Each amendment would be subject to approval by the voters of Redondo Beach, as well as require California Coastal Commission approval. The site was the subject of two public votes on development concepts with neither receiving a majority vote.

In May 2019, Redondo Beach City Council approved the formation of an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District to help fund public improvements on the site, in anticipation of the plant’s closure and anticipated future development. Redondo Beach was also recently successful in securing a grant of $4.8 million from the California Natural Resources Agency to help fund purchase of a portion of the site for public park space.

At its April 14,2020 meeting, City Council approved a letter to the Water Board opposing the proposed extension of the plant’s operations through 2023. The Water Board instead approved the extension, continuing operations through December 2023.

Past Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
July 26, 2016 Heard status report and discussion of City’s involvement on the Redondo Beach Waterfront Project and AES Property
April 24, 2018 Submitted a letter to Los Angeles County in support of Redondo Beach’s application to form an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District for the AES site
April 14, 2020 Approved a letter to the State Water Resources Quality Control Board opposing an extension of operation of the AES Redondo Beach facility.

Analysis:

Existing law establishes the State Water Resources Control Board within the California Environmental Protection Agency with specified duties relating to, among other things, administering water rights, the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and the California Safe Drinking Water Act. The state board has adopted a statewide policy on the use of the coastal and estuarine waters for powerplant cooling, referred to as the once-through cooling policy.

Staff Report
REPORT 22-0189
On February 15, 2022, Assembly Member Muratsuchi introduced Assembly Bill 2140, which proposes to:
· Prohibit the state board from granting an operator of a powerplant any extension of time to comply with the once-through cooling policy if the city or county that has jurisdiction over the site of the powerplant formally adopts a resolution objecting to the extension; and · Require the Public Utilities Commission, the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, and the Independent System Operator to work together to identify alternatives to offset and ultimately replace the powerplants that cease operations as a result of the enforcement of the once-through cooling policy.

The legislation was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources on March 28, 2022. Staff will continue to communicate with and support the City of Redondo Beach on this matter and, should AB1240 be approved, support their efforts to adopt the corresponding resolution.

California State Assembly Committee on Natural Resources 1020 N Street, Room 164
Sacramento, California 95814
Re: AB 2140 (Muratsuchi, Al) Once-Through Cooling Policy: Powerplants. Notice of SUPPORT (As introduced on 2/15/2022)
Dear Chair Rivas:

On behalf of the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, this letter confirms our support of Assembly Bill 2140 (Muratsuchi). The City of Hermosa Beach has worked for many years to expedite the end of operations at the AES Redondo Beach power plant located at 1100 North Harbor Drive in Redondo Beach. AB2140 proposes a pathway to eliminate any more extensions of operations at the plant, which may allow its closure and the eventual transformation of the site to a more beneficial use that will benefit the community, both locally and regionally.

The cities of Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach have worked diligently for many years to ensure the AES Plant cease its operations and help transition the site to a more beneficial use. Redondo Beach spearheaded these efforts and the City of Hermosa Beach worked closely with Redondo toward the same goals. The site is located directly across the street from Hermosa Beach’s southern border and has been a grave concern in our community for its deleterious effect on our environmental health and quality of life. The plant and its acres of radiating power transmission lines have been highly visible sources of noise, visual and air pollutions for not only our cities but the region as a whole.

The tireless efforts of the City of Redondo Beach have been vital in finally bringing the imminent closure of this locus of blight. Currently, the facility is scheduled to close at the end of 2023 and a private party has purchased the property with the aim of redevelopment. The City of Redondo Beach was additionally awarded a State grant of nearly $5 million to purchase portions of the land to become open park space and established an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District to benefit the site’s future development.

AB2140 is thus another important step in this long-term path towards a future that is free of fossil fuels and potential oil spills on our beaches. Please accept our support of this important legislation and feel free to contact our City Manager, Suja Lowenthal, with any questions at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Michael Detoy
Mayor of Hermosa Beach

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.
